BOSSES AND LZADERS.
Of all the titles applied to the
Jivine Master, even the most im
sious, with one grain of self-respect
emaining would hardly dare to
boggoterize the Lord Jesus as a
tnple idea with disgust. *d yet,
ver man spake with suchauthor-
- as the blessed Master. He came
to the world not to drive but to
ead men. Nowadays when there
Bso much talk of ¢“bosses” versus
Jeaders” it is extremely helpful
think of the methods employed
wv.the Great Leader and Teacher of
, for his leadership had to do
ath men’s bodies as well as their
mouls. The people of Maryland
bat a short while ago laid on the
shelf <boss” Gorman. It was not
mticipated or expected that he
twould have a successor, for a right
feous indignation of the pepwlace
indicated that such an office pr po
sation was an intrusion in ‘the le
gitimate sphere of popular govern
ment. But as there must be a
head to everything, Mr. Welling

THE FEAST OF Ewsnxifu HOPE

% is as it shpuld be, The prominence

| latest @yle ofifashionable attire,
Lthe abtracti¥e significance given
| togthe digplay of merchandise mo
| ely overshadows the great
fevent which this season would an
nually renew in the hearts of the
Christian world. The little boy
knows that it is Easter ; the young
man and maiden have been plan
ning for this occasion during the
many weeks that are past, and all
hearts, with anxious expectation,
have been turned in that direction.
If then, these secondary and harm
less chnsiderations assist in direc
ting the attention to the “Queen of
Festivals,” and spiritual teaching
which it is designed to convey.
they will have served a noble pur
pose. Kaster joys are the greatest
for they bring us face to face with
a contemplation of the raptuous
and permanent joys and delights
which await us in the heavenly
country. The rising from the dead
of Jesus Christ the Savior of the
world is the most unique and won
derful event in the annals of histo
tory. As an historical faet it can
not be gainsayed, for the Christian
Chuich, a self perpetuating organ
ization, constitutes the monument
al proof of the fact. Aside from the
eternal hope which it brings to the
human heart, as a mighty and in
spiing fact, alone, it challenges
the greatest admiration and dehght.
The fact of the resurrection of Je
(sus is responsible for the wonder
ful advance in all those things, in
dustrial, scientific and otherwise
which have enriched and ennobled
the world. The divine and God
man Jesus Christ, in his death and
a new aifipn;ushered into the \‘V(.)l‘ld
in time to regenerate ara Siflicient
human society and superinduce on
its behalf marvelous and' divine
blessings. Yes, and above all is
the fact of eternal hope— chasing
away gloom and despair and bring
ing comfort and consolation to the
weary and heavy-laden, remind
ing them of their. future dc:iiny
inan eternity of glory and never
ending pleasures and joys. Let
‘the sorrowful, therefore, rejoice in
‘the happy assurance that their sor
row, some day, shall be turned in
to eternal joy.
- Not one word in reference to
their own interests, nor one word
in the interest of the race was ex
pressed in the resolutions adopted
by the Citizen’s League at thein
mass meeting last Monday night,
y';\lr White Man was lauded to thé;é
skies. The “party” was washed off,
nice and cleaa, and freshened up
Wik o "iQ“f,lJ_ heavy coat of white
were added, and the G." o hr‘,]?
was invested with such an angelicr
expression that they all bowed |
down and worshiped as in days of
yore, when such tried an(htrue pa
triots as John Brown, Abraham
gcoln, Thkaddeus Stevens, Amos
Liove oy and Charles Sumner stood
i right in the face of ostm-'
M and death. And this was a
feeting of colored men. Men who
ave voted the Republican ticket
awere driven from the
vho stood by
an |
' POLITICAL GOSSIP.
Téxe old School Board having wen
itsfight against Mayor Hooper, has
taken possession of the school affairs
ope¢ more. For the first time in
thirty vears it is controlled by the Re
‘publicans, and its course, as far as
the colored people are concerned, will
pe closely watched. There are many
‘things the can do which will be of
immense benefit 'to the colored
people, and that too without neglect.
of duty to the white schools and
white people.
So far, however, true to the in
stiects which have governed the Re
publican party ever since it came in
to power. it has not seen fit to confer
one little plum uponr the colored
voter. Not that the colored voter
was expecting much, if anythiog,
from them, yet they might cast just
one little plnm in our way which
would have been gladly accepted by
any of the thousand and one hungry
colored contingent of the G. O. P.
_But if they will promptly turn over
No 2. school to us, and see to a pum
ber of other things that we need, we
may be inclined to forgive them for
their other short comings.
The Janior Senator of Maryland
has shown conclusively that he is in
the saddle, and will promptly sit
down on any attemnt to goi\ground
hiw, or over him. Mr. Ston{fas we
predicted last week will vrWaptly
acquiesce in Mr. Wellington’s way of
thinking, and yield to the inevitable.
In the meantime he has served no
tice on Messrs. Supplee and Malster,
that they cannot be the candidates
of the Party Organization. Messrs.
Supplee and Malster, however, have
quietly ‘winked the other eye,” at
Mr. Stone and gone on pushing tbeir
canvass for what it is worth. Mr.
Stone says they are ‘‘wot in iw?«and
in due season, the man who isto
fill the chair now occupied by Mr,
Hooper, will ke made known to the
rank and fite, who will be expeected
to promptly confirm Mr. Stone’s de
cision at the primaries.
The Citizen’s Club of Maryland is®
new organization which contemplates
entering iuto the political arena with
eonsiderable vim, considering from a
standpoint of their annocuncements.
It would be vastly better, however, if
these gentlemen wonld ally them
selves to the Citizens Committee of
one hundred. ‘'l'oo many leaders is
now the caunse of the trouble in the
colored ranks. Mr. Wellington has
shown that there can be but one
leader, and he that leader, 'at least at
present. This is what the colored
peopie need, one leader instead of a
hundred. Letusget together and we
will aczomplish something that ‘is
worthy.

THE AFRO-AMERICAN
C-Y.W. C. A
The C. Y. W. C. A. of Baltimore
City was organized Jan, 3d, 1896, at
the Madison St. Presbyterian Church
by Mrs. S. A. Charity and six other
ladies, under the direction of Mrs.
Elliott, President of the white Y. W.
C. A. on Franklin Bt., The first year
of its existence was marked by much
progress, and thenumber of members
was increased to fifty. , The second
yvear, Mrs. Murphy was elected Pres
ident, and*the work is still increasing.
Among the Industrial Classes, they
have a Dress Making Class of 12 girls
being taught by pattern. The second
class will orgauvize on next Weduesday
under Mrs. Burgess to be taught by
mweasurement. We have also a class
in which the girls are taught to make
paper flowers and pieture frames.
We have an Ewmployment Bureau,
open every day, with Miss Mary ‘l'il
den, Secretary.
Svunday April 4th was ‘‘Book Day”
and quire a number of books were
given with which to start a Library
forour girls. Sunday April 11th was
our Annual Celebration. Through
the kindness of Rev. hill, we met at
Urinity Church. It was a success in
every way. Addrseses were made by
Pr. Wi, H. Weaver and Rev. J. W
Beckett.. Scripture Lesson by Mrs.
Mary Frisby Handy. The collecrion
amounted to $lO 65, which will go
toward purchasing a home for the
Association.
" 'l'he object of the Association is to
help the yonng women in ouar cow
mwnuoity tv be better and truer women,
to encourage them to make the most
of themseivesin mind body and soul,
to teach them to find the sweetness 1
life; its compensations even under t e
most discoaraging surroundings.
+ The aim is to m.ake the Association
rooms a place for social gatherings
wheie young women who have no
howe in the city may spend a pleas
ant evening and feel that there, wel
come and cheer, love aud protection
are always 1o be found. It is a mis
sion field, too, wherein many are
cowforted ana saved, and where a
sympathizing friend is ever in atten
dance, ready .0 counsel all who need
it, and to point them to the Lamb of
God whicu taketh away the sins of
|tne world. Ivis also the object of
the Association to assist the yonng
wowen to fit themselves for better
positions in life; to complete this end
they haveindustrial classes and night
schools,
l There is no ciass of people so help
less or wh. stand so in need of a wise
friend as the young girls who have
left their country homes aund the pro
tecting care of their parents, to come
toa large city. Their ignorance of
evil renders them more liable to fall
intothe many traps set for their uu
wary feet. 1t ir this class especially,
thatthe Y. W. C, A. wish to exteud
their,sympathy and care. We are in
no way auntagonistic to the churches,
and are entirely undenominational.
We encovrage every young woliu n
to become a mewmber of some churceh,
and pastors will flnd a great need
suppiied in these Associations where
they can send young girls neading
womanly hLelp and feel ~ure they witl
receive wise council and care.

CHESTERTOWN, MD.
[Special to the Afro-Ameriean.]
Chestertown, Md., April 10—Every
thing looks bright and beautiful in
town and country. The lawns, gar
dens, grass lots and wheat-fields are
perfect beauties. The people are
thrifry and enterprising; wages are
low, but most «f them are at work
and prosverity is retarning to us
again. Kent county is beautifuily
sitaated and is nearly sarrounded by
water. The land is relling and the
soil fertile. Most of the farms are in
easy distance from Steamboat land
ing or Railroad depot, The industries
are farming, gardning, lnmbering and
manufacturing paper and fertiiizer.
The fishing business is also profitable,
the Chester River abounds in shad,
rock, perch and herring.
I regard it as my dutvy and and a
high privilegesto represent your mdst
excellent paper. We hope in the near
future t¢ double the nuwmber of sub
scribers. The Afro-American is the
people’s paper and we cannot afford
to be without this welcome visitor,
which always brings the vrewsand
tells an interestivg story. It should
find its way into every Afro-American
home in the state.
