The city is tobe system atieslly mnvassed in order to have afulla | cowplete registration of yoters in each ward. Let every Re pmblican be tercibly in earnest and do what he can to assist in the jmat- ter. We are going to win this fall. It i» xoing to be a famous victory. l.et ‘fféfib,e gaid that the *"Negro Troops fou ' NoLly v« Apeurdigs yfi our i m.:giiam,:public spirit, and /intelli gent vbaring inthe campaign will be our reward. This is our conntry and o&?government and we should there fure demoanstrate oar loyalty and ' }e by such an enthusiastic sapport ' ;iimw_ake victory absolutely cer ‘é:fi};f@n, and draw torth, on our behalf, | p estimution ard praise of our fel '*“3 7 citizens. 'We cabnot dwell too much upon i/he extreme importance, to Baltimore Afro-Americans, of concentrating their interests and active watehful- i théinomination of candidatesin th sious wards, for the City Coun cil. This matter is of the very great est importance. The City Council controls thé#mfi‘airs of this municipal ity. It emoyloys thelarge nunmber of persons requisite for the conduct of public affairs in the various depart .aents of the ecity goverrment. It appropriates the money of the ‘tax fiayers for public schools, public im provement and various other "things. Therefore, when t\‘\vo, three or more of our white fellow citizens are in the race; in any and a.llof the wards, to receive the nomindtion, Afro-Ameri cansowe it [to thewmselves and their highest interest, 7t ). use their vote, voice and influenge in securing the nominati: vof the one most likely to prove a ‘ ferid of the race when he shall ha e been elected to a seat in ,hecou cil chamber of our city. Don’t et us srget this matter. It is tov im- pqrtgf% to be sidp-tfi_mked for some little/ insigrificant sile-issue. This is ot/r opportunity. for muking our selves felt in a salutary and highly beneficial munner, and if we are wise we shall certain!y make the most of the present opportunity. RACE CO-QOPERATION, "/ Tho Union League Meeting for the ~ purpose of discursing the question of | jrace eo-overation should be the begin " ming of a successful effort to open up a new field of labor in Washington. There is no good reason why coiored ppo?le shonid not prosper in husiness affairsand supply themselves with all kinds of products. Their wonderfal sdevelopment during the last thirty | years demonpstrates that they are not . lacking either in resourcesor ability, ~ sand with proper experience in the var ___dogus bfanches "of the manufacturing R Lle world shey would e R.l s s ‘i‘“‘*» = fl*f‘"‘*é; Fooane nhc el Nt ot enough of the material side. The chief virtua'of the colored people:is their fear of God and devotion to the chureh. If their education in the business world must be had at the expense of their religion it would be a public calamity. Let their religious lite be made stronger and mcre fer vent if possible, and there will be no difficulty in developing their business ability, whether it bs by race co-oper ation orother wise. The above editorial is taken from whe Zimes of Washington City Most excellent and tiwely advice 1t is! We agree most heartily with all l our eontemporary so wisely says. “The colored race must beware oOf exclusiveness.,” It is possible to so emphasize and dwell upon the race, its needs, and capabilities as to drift heedlessly into the narrow grove of racial bigotry aud exclusiveness. And such a teudenecy is attended with dis astrous and fatal results. We caunot live and thrive apart from the rest of the community; and if we could we ought not, for every race, like every individusl must have something to contribute to the common-welfare of all. Noindividual lives for himself alone, and no race lives entirely for itself. If such were the caseit would: forfeit its right 10 exist. The At?é’ American should be the last persofi ju the world to drift into such a car rent of ‘‘exclusiveness,” when he re members what the spirit of ‘‘exclus iveness” has doue for him. And it was because men were good and brave enough jto ignore and break down such narrow lines ot racial sexelusiveness’;that he is today a MAN and not a thing. Most wi then, should we beware of this dead: E”‘X evil, ?‘-’**.i.j%no’ther tendency that is to be ‘elosely watched is that whizh would ‘disparage ‘'religion” at the expense of the material side. There is no ' greater Imistake than an apparent belief of some misinformed aad mis ' guided persons that the eoloredpeople \ “have enough religion’’ and what they need is “'less religion” and more l business. The colored people have not enongh religion, Neither is it possible for them to get too much. The colored people, like all other people, will find that just 1n proportion as they ap proximate more and more the ideal of the christian religion as realized in JEsus Christ, in a ccrresponding degree will they experience such fructifying virtues and moral excel lepcies as will render their material advance, not only on a sure and im perishable foundation, but most help ful to them in theirjcomplete develop ment myd ascendancy in the things of this world. If this be not true, then God is not the wiseand all loving Creator and Preserver of the universe. Let us advance the busi. ness and material side, by all means, but at the same time let us not forget the “Rock” from which weare hewn COLORED BLIND AND DEAF SCHOOIL. Elsewhere ‘will be found notice/of: the reopening of the *School fof el ored Blind and Deaf.” The institu tion was foundedinlB72. Its orgami zation was aathorized by the State which fosters the school and makes provision for the education of every Deaf, Dumb or Blind child in the State free of all expense, except that of clothing. Everything about the school bears the impress of education and refinement. The principal and his corps of teachers are devoted to their work and seem jto take specia] delight in training their pupils. We have visited the closing exer cise otthe school for the last ten years or more and have been gratified and amazed as we observed what can be dene for Blind and ‘Deaf Mutes. A4s to musie, voeal and instrumental, the pupils are surprisingly proficient. At the closing exercises the musical part of the programme is a special feature and the large audiences svhich attend pay high compliments to the pupils. Besides mental training and the art of mueie, the pupils receive a practi cal industria¥édeation.

With all due respect to the white teach ers and appreciation for there past work, they must be remembered. It will not harm them since every avenue is open ‘ to them and it will be a manifold help to us. They monopolize our best posi tions yet open none of theirs to us 1t there is a black and white applicant equally efficient the former should be given the preference in every instance and a white teacher should not be elec ted by us under any circumstauces, The | question arises, if the white teachers are removed would those who have contri buted hitherto withdrawn. No, we be lieve none but the noble hearted and truly christian have lent us their aid, and that they will continue as long as it is needed, but though we may need the aid of the christiau men and womea we should not give up @ar positions as for- § feiture.

Now let this money .| be deposited in negro banks or ex | changed for goods in our dry-goods, , | millinery, drug, clothing and grocery l stores, and it would be the means of building up every race enterprise. >1 Aside from money-getting, it will 1| contribute largely to us morally and so cially.
