SEPARATE MANAGEMENT-The public school system under

Us present management that isthe white saperintendetitDrChanc-eHor and the colored assistantRoscoe Bruce is not at

acceptable to the people of thiscity The present managementwants to destroy or upset in twomoats what it took years of toilaDd patience to build

It must be admitted that the col-

ored schools were successfully man-

aged for over a quarter of a cca-

tary by Mr George F T Cooka better and a more polished schol-

ar never existed than heThe colored schools had an en-

tire colored supervision andfew if any scandals ever existedNone so far as the management-

of the colored schools were con-

cernedCompare if you ieasethe

itates under Mr Cook and thoseof today and see if they arethe superiors

Roscoe Conkra Bruce is a dis-

appointment It was a blunder ofDr Chancellor to have appointedhim The people are not at allsatisfied and the best interests ofthe colored schools demand imme-

diate change in its head and sepa-

rate supervision The people ap-

peal to Congress to allow themcontrol their own schools as here-

tofore Hundreds of teachers arebeing oppressed by constant meet-

ings after the regular school hoursNumerous lectures are unneces-

sary model meetings What good

are these meetings Why shouldregular teachers be required

to teach these model lessons whenthere are model teachers graduated-for the business

There is a reign of terror incolored schools Su h as never before existed What relief has theteacher under the present school

system The appointment of the

present school head was a mistake

Just low soon relief will come

the teachers who are under mentaland physical strain The Bee can

only hopeTo school at 830 no time for

lunch A model lesson by those

whose business it is to attendtheir regular school duties Re-

main in school from 830 am to

430 pm Supemscks lecturefrom 5 pm tos 6 or 630 pm Theteacher must listen to a long ha-

rangue on some long chapter from

an educational journal that theycould read when time permitted

them to doMany of the teachers are afraid

to say that they have a soul Inthe name of justice andThe Bee appeals to the Board of

Education in behalf of these op-

pressed teachers to give them im-

mediate relief It is unfair Itis unjust to the faithfulbenefactors of the youth If Con-

gressional relief does not come

many of those faithful teach-

ers will be in their graves Manyof them are resigning in factsome-of the best teachers have resigned

Let the colored schools havetheir own officers

fairplay should not fail to registerWhen the judges of election recently appointed by the NationalCommittee issue their call and designate the time and places for reg-

istration Republicans should remember that when the time is nam-

ed for voting they should careful-

ly scrutinize the records of thosewho ask for their suffrages Lethim first ask What has this mandone for the party and for theRepublicans who have be n disfranchised in the District of Co-

mmbia Has any effort been madeby these candidates to secure theseRepublicans Has man orthat man raised his voice in de-

fense of our two hunjdredsoldiers from the army

Has he attacked the discrimination-

in public inns and upon commoncarriers Has the candidate

to protect your childrenand your daughters in the public

schools Has any attempt beenmade by these candidates who nowask for your ote to denounce theattempted discrimination at thesepublic comfort stations All ofthese things should be carefullyconsidered by the Republicanswho-will be called upon to vote for delegates to the next National Repub-

lican ConventionThe silkstocking Republicans-

are only heard of every four yearsThey are never seen and neitherare their voices raised in behalf of

the oppressedSuch Republicans as Hon Oscar-

J Ricketts expublic printer DrA S Richardson in South Wash-

ington true and tried men shouldbe remembered by the colored Republicans especially Mr SidneyBieber who appointed more col

ored men in the Fire Department-and at present one of the judges ofelection and Mr Cranford are men

who have safely guarded the in

terest of the colored Republicanswho are largely in the majority in

this cityThe Bee does not know whether

any of the above men would serve

or not but it will suggest that

the friends of colored Republicans

and not their enemies should beelected as delegates

Someone suggested the propri-

ety of sending two white Repub-

licans If any such attempt is

made by any white Republican to

spring such an issue it will beto the party Colored Re-

publicans are willing tobe fairantldo their duty in the selection of twogood white Republicans one as adelegate and one as alternate One

colored delegate and one coloredalternate

The next Nationalshould be a man who will

have sand and inuennce enough toreach the executive departments

The selection of such a man is im-

portant to Destrict Republicans

DISTRICT POLITICIANS-In the District of Columbia there

are several classes of politicians

The most deceiving and the mosttrick is the pot housed politi-

cian He is a gentleman of leis-

ure This class will represent himself to the candidate as the mostpowerful in the city Nothing is

impossible for this class to do No

man is a stranger but every man

is a weak individual No man is

honest in the eyes of this class

but every man is a thief and with

out influence in the eyes of the pot-

house politicianThere is another class of politi

cians that claims to represent the

good and the clean otherwise the

reformers Reformers in all

communities are who are

opposed to successful operators in

any enterprise They are the outs

against the ins It is one setof thieves endeavoring to remove

another set of successfulj

The Bee has never known poli

tics to be cleaned Since the ad

journment of the National Cora

mittte the pot house politiciani the reformers and otherwise areclamoring for alleged clean menPoint out clean men in any gameof chance and The Bee will namean angel in disguise The mostamusing thing in District politics-

is the cry of the bankrupts for

dice adduced t the hearing beforethat committee We believe that Senator Foraker rendered not only to thedischarged soldiersbut also to the wholecolored race and the nation a servicewhich entitles hint to the fullest con-

fidence and support of every selfrespecting colored man in this country Werecognize him as an able and fairmind-ed statesman safe legislator true patriot and man of great executive abilityand believing him to possess the requi-

site qualifications for the high office ofPresident of the United States we

pledge him our support for thishigh and important trust

We also urge our brother ministersin all denominations to speak out mcommendation and indorsement of RonJoseph B Foraker

The resolutions speak in no uncertainsound and reflect the sentiments of thegreat mass of the colored voters of thiscountry and it will be well for theRepublican party to heed the almostunanimous sentiments of the colored element of the party in selecting the nominee in

Religious as well as other colored organizations everywhere will take thissame course The Republican partyshould do nothing so foolish as to cause-

a loss of any of the colored vote inMaryland Vest Virginia New JerseyNew York Indiana Ohio and otherStates north of the Potomac NominateSenator Foraker and he will carry thesolid Republican vote in every sectionof the country and insure victory to hisparty next fall and the continuanceof Republican national supremacy
