Y. Success comes of effort, industry, honesty, patience and true'manliness The Washington Convention de veloped no new leader, nor added additional glory to no old* one. It was commonplace and tumultuous from beginning to end. . The Hawaii -.n Govern menr, presid ed over by King Kalakua, recently , held an election and defeated for the legislate re nearly every foreigner who -was a candidate, thus emphasizing its belief in borne rule. The Kk»g quietly supported them, M Justice slumbers often-timea, but rarely soundly sleeps. Sbe is wak ing from her slumbers now, while evil doers tremble. The Colored Press is pretty unani mous in its praise of theLeague, and its criticism of this ludicrousness of of the proceedings of the Bureau ot Relief Convention, which met at Washington. A BufE^c <>f Information seems to be one of the necessities of the League, and we would suggest that such a department be organized and perfected at once. Wtiat say jthe officers ? Judge Albion W. Tourgek has a strong and able article in last Sun day’s Tribune on the American Ne gr<», which is another fearless contri bution to the solution of the vexed American Problem. Judge Tourgee is well acquainted with the ins and mu ts of this problem as any man in the Nation W e regret to learn of the death of Rev. W, H, Pitts, which occurred at Poitsmouth, Va, last week. He was the first colored man we ever he'ard preach, and was as grand a man in all respects as we ever knew. He started tho people of Tarboro and Edgecombe County immediately after the war. Peace to his ashes. We most heartily commend the Petersburg Index Appeal, the Char leston News and Courier, the Wil miugton Messenger and Atlanta Con stitution, and all the Southern papers of broad calibre, for their timely and brave utterances in favor the fair and just treatment of the American Negro. The Southern Negroes are grateful to them, and sincerely so too. They are the leaven oi the South, and must eventually leaven the whole section “Be not deceived; for God is not mocked ; for whatsoever a man soweth that he shall also reap.” These words stare in the face those who would sow crime broadcast over our beloved Southland. But so long as they sow it, they must expect to reap it If white men kill colored men they will kill one another also. From the reaping of the harvest resulting from the sowing there is no escape. A report is current that the lead ing Negroes of North Carolina intend organizing a revolt ' against the man agement of the Republican party in this State, and’ will call a convention, make known their grievances and r. port to the President. Indeed something should b$ done to stop this organized effort among the white leaders to ignore the Negro entirely in the distribution of rewards Congress is disposing of the con tested election cases with a rapidity uever before known. This is credita ble. Such CJises should be decided on their merits as soon as Congress meets, aud thus Drevent a man who has not been elected from occupying the seat of another who has. It is now thought that Messrs Langston and Miller will be seated by the middle of March. They certainly deserve to be. The tirade of Rev. A. J. Chambers against his own race, which has gone the rounds of the white press of the State, is unworthy of that gentleman, and shows him out of barmouy with any effort looking to the elevation of his race. His doctrine is certainly not the doctrine of his cburch.-v C. H. J. Taylor aud Rev. A. J. Chambers seem to have been employed to go to all these colored conventions for the purpose of belittling . and disgracing their owu race. From all such leader ship good Lord deliver us 1 Speaker Reed still holds the gavel in Congress—and all the world knows that. He is as brave a man as ever occupied that chair. It was amusing to see the record quoted the other day showing how Mr. Raodall, Mr. Henderson, of this State and others, protested against the tyran ical. ruling of Speaker Carlisle in refining them permtsion to be heard iu moving to abolish the tax on tobac co There was a tumult in the House when this point was made, as it show Mr. Reed’s immediate predeces sor was classed as a tyrant by his own party leaders. ■ . ,, .J Ex Senator Pinchbeck grows more sensible as he grows older-. He thought directly after the war that New Orleans should be burned to ashes. But he thinks differently now. He does hot* believe in the torch and the dagger as the instru ments to right Negro wrongs. He be lieves that the law should come to the rescue and he is waiting patiently for its coming. You are right'8enator. We must put the white people of the South on their 'honor There are thousands of them who do not endorse the wrongs to which we are subjected. We roust by our , conduct bring them to the rescue, and we see evidences of of their coming almost every weak. Right you are 8enator.

Stanley has been elected a member of the Russian Geographical society. Dr. McCosh’s present course of lectures is probably the last that he will deliver at Princeton. Presiding Elder N. J. Green reports great religion? awakenings through out the New England conference, which is very encouraging indeed. Rev. A. F. Goslin has taken his 1 entire family from Liacolnton to Little Rock, Arkansas, where he will! do duty for the Master in the future. Mr. W. W. Lawrence will repre sent the Stab of Zion at New Berne, N. C , and all the friends there will please encourage him by taking the paper. - Prof. E. L Thornton has developed already into one of the best correspon dents of the Afro American Press. -His weekly contributions to the New York Age are excellent. Hon. J. M. Langston had a well prepared paper which ' was intended to be the sentiment of the late Wash ington convention, bat which, unfor tunately, never saw the light. Why ? Presiding Elder W'. J. Moore, who never forgets us, is securing an agent for the Stab wherever he can, and by this means is awakening an inter est in the paper among all his church es. Senator H. W Blair is certainly a true/friend of our race. Nothing prove* this more than his persistent advocacy oi the Educational bill which will so materially aid in oor uplifting. It was unfortunate that Bishop Wayman entered the contest for the Chairmanship of the late Washington convention. It exposed him both to criticism and ridicule, especially after so bitter a contest. , - J. E Bruce, commonly known as “Bruce Grit,” and a most clever eorre spondent, gave a most graphic and pointed description of the late Wash, ington convention in the Cleveland Gazette, and bore out the opinion of she Stab to the letter. ' ■* A private letter informs us that Rev. J. M Mitchell is succeeding admirably at Tarboro. All the peo people like him, and he will begin at once .to complete that church and have it in readiness for the entertain ment of the conference next fall. Report comes to us that there is quite a revival in progress at Rev. G. W. Offley’s ehurch in Philadelphia. 38 have been happily converted while many seekers are inquiring the way. Toe recent fair qf this church netted $300. Rev. Offiey is about well again. Rev. J. W. Smith writes from Washington as follows: “I am happy to say that Bishop Jones is out of danger and convalescing rapidly. He is up walking about his room, and h« says his appetite is good. The church has been praying. |Tbe prayers of the righteous avail eth much.’ ” - FRANKLIN, (PA,) NOTES. BY REV. W. H.

Poesibly amid the excitement, . ver the Southern as also the Negro prob lems, our work in this section may need be spoken of not boastlngly, but tbat the members of our Zion, may be encouraged by a knowledge of the blessing* attendant upon the labors of our faithful church members and pastors, as is manifest in the con version of souls. I say “faithful members;’' because in our church, as is the case in every church, there are those, - who are not faithfiil. but are drones in the church of God. We have a few—an humble few—that the minister can look to, as laborers, and workers in the vineyard of our Lord; and to those, as also to the ministry belongs the praise, for the rapid spread, the great ingathering, for the abundant harvests. I have reason to rejoice, becaose of the religious-stand ing of the churches,, in this section of our connection. I make special men tion of several churches in that re gard. North Russel St , Boston, is carry ing on a revival with profit and pleas ure and a grand outlook presents itself to Zion in Boston. Worcester and Attleboro are doing admirably. Souls are being brought into the church of Christ through them. Io PfrovidUiee, the first churgh; 60 or more have professed faith in Christ and 50 of that'-number have united with Zion. In New Haven Over' 60 have been saved and redeemed by the blood of Jesus And in Derby also. In the second church in Providence many are beipg—bi ought to . the Saviour. People everywhere seem to be crying for mercy. The glad day of the. coming'of out Lord hagen* the happy consumma tion ofthe^promise breaks over this world, as it is becoming , more and more the abode of dor Lord and bis Christ “When the knowledge of the glory of Gfod Shall cover the coWthe Bea.” TO THE MINISTERS AND MEM BERS OF THE A. M. E. ZION CHURCH. Mr. Editor : Please permit* the following deserved mention. /There are two small publications ' which have recently been issued from ‘‘The Progressive Educator” office which should claim the attention ofthe en tire A. M. E. Zion church, «M»d (lie pious Bible student in ghaeral.v I refer to the scripture catechism by Bishop J. J. Moore and the sejrmon by Bishop C,, K. Harris. The Cerr tral N. C. conference is pretty well acquainted with Bishop Moore's cat echism, and for the benefit ofthe other Conferences I wish to say that it is one of the heat little expositions of scfiffeve I hare ever seen, and eafct J*e in -die hands of all our |lay School scholars and in every ily. It is sold at 5 cents per copy or 50 cents per dozen, and can be had of Bishop Moore or the under signed. • 1 * ivyr* The-jmnon by Bishop Harris is jnstputand is a gem. It was preached to a conference but is beautifully stunted to the spiritual needs of .all the ministry and laity as well. This sermon should be on all our desks and in all our homes. Bishop Harris has also appended to this admirable sermon a short historical catechism Of the A. M. E. Zion church, and1 inserted good cuts of all the living Bishops of the church—making die whole a sort of compendium of fact and representation, and adding much to its value. It can be had at the low price of ten cents per copy and of Bishop C. R. Harris, Salisbury, N. C. This notice is entirely voluntary and I take pleasuifc in iiying the above and commending these publication to all Bible readers and lovers of temper ance. ? Vu*. '• ; ■' f • ; Very Sincerely, < S. G. Atkins. Livingstone College, Feb, '90. JUSTICE TO THE NEGRO. BY RRV. Wi H. FERGUSON. Mr. Editor :*-After reading and rereading the eloquent, logical, and forcible speech of Senator Ingalls, before the Senate in vindication of the legal rights and suffrage of a pros cribied race. I cannot forego the pleasant task of speaking a word of commendation. Few men at this cri sis would have had the moral courage to stand tip as he did in defence of the 'Afro-American. He knew he wo uld be assembler by the press, whichls the strongest agent for pol tical weal or woe in this country. Nevertheless, he beard the lion in his den, struck the key note to the situation and gave a pandcea for the seeming complex question. Jus tice to Negro as ap American citizen” was the central thought of Mr. Ip galls speech. I would to God these words voiced the sentiments of every American's hearth. That the Negro ’iS capable of high intellectual and IndraT development, is evident to every unbiased mind in this country. In this particular we excel the Indian and Chinaman, and rank side by side with the white man. With nothing Jibe.justice and a fair chance in the race of life, the progress of the Afro American within the last twenty five years has astonished the civilized world. From an educational stand point, we point with pride to the many able and scholarly Negroes with whieh this country is being filled. For thologians and pulpit orators, we refer with delight to Bishops Hood, Jones, Lomax, Moore, Tur. ner, Way man, Dr. Derrick, Jenifer' others too numerous to mention. With a glance we turn to the field of ora-, tory and statesmanship, and point with undaunted courage, to Douglass, Lynch, ; Bruce;’ Langston, Price, Fortune, Dancy, Richards, T. Mc Cant Stewart and others space for bids us to : mention. The above named gentlemen in moral stamina, intellectual culture, and force of char acter ’ compare favorably with the greater men of the ninteenth century. In view of these facts the Kansas Sen. ator appealed to the' people of this government for , to the Ne gro.Of the four solutions to the Ne gro problem . prior to Mr. In galls fifth one, all of them are very cruel except one. Amalgamation,; disfranchisement, separation, ' and extermination. None of these solu tions might be practicable, however unjust they may be; in the sight of high heaven. But the fourth one, ex termination, is unreasonable and the idea'itself, passes out beyond all heathen mythology. The illiteracy of the masses of our people in the ex treme South leaves them an easy prey to the insatiable thirst of white men who defraud tlie6i'_ out of their honest labor, destroy the virtue of their daughters, shoot them down for the least or no provocation, vote them under the shot gun policy, and con pel. them to remain there and raise cotton..,>In the face of these cruel and inhuman^ acts which appeal to God for redress,, Southern Congress men and Senators from Georgia, Ala baman Mississippi and Texas, at the Nation ’s .Capital will try to justify the relations between the whites and blacks. Is it any wonder that the Southern members in Congress sat idumb founded with their eyes look ing aghast, while. Mr. Ingalls ar raigned them before the bar of their own conscience,: as . well as before God, and then thundered in their eats, and to the-people of this Nation. •GiVethe Negro justice, God’s uni vdrskl remedy for all hnman difficul ties. Now let i have,.ijustice in the !hlghest acceptation of the term. Give us better schools by passing the Blair-bill, * and more of* them; Allow-tfe'Negro a place in the school of arts; kfthim have a fair show in tiling the land; pay him living and hdftest wdges for;his labor, respect his tnanhoed and;the virtue of his wife and daughter, whatever his crime may be ; grant him a fair and im partial trial before a court ’of justice. Do this not because he is a Negro, bid beCause he is an American citizen. And in less’time time than fifty years the Negro problem will be a' thing af the piast. * Politically, the colored man in this country is a “jumbo” in American politics, from the fact he i?becoming the balance, of power not mly in the Sonthetn States, but in he United States. We say to the [overnmentj, educate us and neither tarty, need to dread our inftuenee .'hen the best and most sacred inier sts of the country are at stake. „ * All the members of the cabinet,; following the example of the Presi dent, have, out of respect to their nnnocietto Ponrntarifis Blaine and Inwy—decided U withdraw all in vitations touted for social events lit theb hom« Md not to givo any kx>M entertainments until after lent. m THE SOUTHERN QUESTION SOME TRUTHS TOLD By EX-8ENATOR CLAYTON. Boston Feb.11.—Ex-Sentaor Powell Clayton, of Arkansas, addressed to night the Mystic Valley Club on the Southern question. He said in part: The origin of the Southern question I trace back to the year 1620. whena Dutch ' vessel landed upon the shores of Virginia with some African slaves. Then began a National disease more or less malignant, which from that day to this has afflicted the American people; a disease varying in its phases, but always possesing the same syrup-* toms, amqng which are the cruelty, oppression, intolerance, prejudice, ar rogance and minority dictation. By these signs you may know it whenever and wherever it makes its appearance Daring all the changes of this malady there has b^en a class of me 1 who have nursed the disease more than the patient, and have constantly insisted that all others should “let them alone” in their treatment of both How the Negro came here you all know. His right to be here cannot now be questoned. The idea of sending 10,000,000 citizens out of the country to some other land, Gad knows where, is, too chimerical to merit discussion L'bat he is a citizen the Constitution declare. To take away that citizenship would be to repudiate the Nation’s plighted faith, and to turn back the wheels of freedom to peonage, another form of slavery. I think we may as sumo that the Negro is here to stay, and if he shall not stay as a citizen, why not? If be has attributes that unfit him for citizenship, what are they? Is he disloyal? His loyalty is so inherent that even io bondage his master possessed it In times of war can he be depended on? In the Revo lutionary War Negro regiments fought gallantly tor the liberties we possess, bu , were so long denied them,' and in our_ lftte Civil War, when the scaleff hubg trembliug io’tfce balance, 200,000 Negro soldiers turned the tide of battle for the Union. Is he coura geous in battle? Ask any qtflilary com mander under whom he jprvpd, and his answer will e as jaine is, yes to a remarkable degfeeTTs he turbulent and ungovernable? Nearly three cen tuties of slavery have taught hip the lesson oi submission All agree that he is docile and submissive. Is he* lazy ,and shiftless? To this question Gyady gives answer when he say, “From his willing hands come every year dne thousand million dollars of fprra products. Does he acquire prop erty and t’iua share in the burdens of taxation ? Grady again furnishes the answer, when he speaks pf the race as “a people who, twenty five years from unrewarded slaved have amassed in one State $20,000*000 worth of property. . . That a vast amount of ignorance exists among ; the Negroes at the South is true, but the fault cannot be laid at their dodffi, but at ours. That he is a quick add ready scholar, any one who has taught him will testify, and, if a residence of twentyfive years among them qualifies me to speak, I can say that I have never seen a people more anxious for school facilities. If ignorance is to dis qualify, then it should apply with more force to the white man than to him, be cause of the superior opportnb ities of the former. Is it because he lacks ex-« perienoe in public. affairs? That would apply to some of our best citizens of foreign birth, who under despotic governments, were denied participation in governmental matter*? Time was when it might have applied to the Anglo-Saxon emerging front bondage Is it because bis .skiniB of a different color from ours ? That is too illogical for consideration. JVbat then, are the distinctive attributes that unfit him for citizenship-'?'*'I can think of none , T ; The negzoes of the South nitty be responsible for much of the evils that afflict socittv there, but, are the white men free from blame ?Go toany large plantation in the South and you will: find, as an adjunct, the plantation store where, at exorbitant prices, the negro obtains the supplies for which his growing crops are pledged. Enter* that store and in most cases you will1 find a bar, irom which is dealt) tu.the' Negro, ad libitum, liquid fire, the demoralizing effects of which you eau well imagine. To my Southern frientte I say, “Close the plantation bar and throw open wide the B.hoolhouse door.” Mr. Grady, for the people he so ably represented, has asked you fof your confidence, your sympathy, and that you will give them your sous asthos-, tages. He has also asked you lor your loyalty. In coneluson, I too, for. the people not represented by him, white and black, many of whoip in battle upheld the flag of the country »n the hour of its greatest peril, ^nd many others of whom, believing they Were right, followed gallantly and faithful ly the Stars and Bars” until that flag went down in the smoke and carnage of “a lost cause,” but who are now unwilling to give up that sense d boner represented by the cbivahric Bayard for that otheV idea of honor ftrodaimed by Jack Falstaff, ask yonr confidence. And for the widows tod orphans of those who have fallen In a thus far futile effort to maintain ih* rights of American citizenship, and the Hving, to whom I have referred, who under the most adverse circum stances are still struggling in that, cause, I ask your sympathy I too ask you to give us your sons, not as hostages, but as you gave them t»» the Territory of Kansas, when the same methods aud practices were resorted to, then as now to force upon unwilling people the rule of corrupt minorities, and i ask you for that loyalty which, at all hazards and any cost, will see to it that the constitution of our country shall not be dishonored or nullified, and that the fountain through which, flows all our liberties -the ballot box -shall be kept pure and undefiled.
