Manager Grillin Picks Many Good, Worthy Men Who Have Made Good Every Promise---Ellsworth and Harvey are Very Poorly Represented. Of the vast number of nen in the State Nenate, none have served their constitucnte more faithfully amd honestly than Senator JF. Over feld,of Inac pendence, Montgomery county, Benator Overfield is not of the radical, grandetand playing type, but a bruwd guaged, liberal micded mon—one who thinks deep- ly aud weighs small matters with the eame cool, calm deliberation aa he does the large, He has the intereat of hie distriot and the whole atate at heart and ie always alert to thet which will do the greatest good for allthe people. Serator Over. field is winding up hia first term and if Montgomery county deaircs to keep her present high standing inthe affairs of state, they should rally together and ece that Mr Overtield ia given another term. Such a valuable man should not be permitted to retire from publics tife. Be is of [ar too mucn service to the people and the state in ge veral. His reputation ie not confined to Montgomery cowity alone, but extends throughout Kansie. He atands high with hie colleagues — m fact hie opinion if Fougat on m ye diferent nratterathan ey man in thu Senate, At home, Senator Overtichd is cne of the best diked men in thal section of Kansas, He i bts Hearted, kind amd gencecid and rich, poor white and black all have the bigheat sega for lia, and he has fulfilled every trust plied in him. Av evidence of hie bigh standing in the Scuate may be seen by tre following importsut com. mittees on which he has beew plaoed: Feces and Salariee, Cities of the Firat Clase, State Affaire, Oil and Gas, chairman; Corporations, Mao. ufactorica and Induatrial Pursuits, Asseaements and Taxation, Insur. ance, Congressional and Judicial Apportionment. This alone apeake volumes and tella plainly the Sife and jcharacter of # worthy and capable publiv servant. Senator Frea Robertaon, of At- wood, ss one of the real live wires tn that suguet body, He is up on everything and labore bard to ao. complieh thioge that will benefit Kansas and hee people, Senator Robertaon’s constituents need have no fear as long ashe tx on the job ‘By the way, they whould sce that he in re elected. Among the prominent tigurca at the state house this week ia the smiling fave of our esteemed friend, Hon. Thos E, Wagstaff of Inde. peadenze, He is one of the most popular young men in Ksnwaa snd frome day we expect to sce him either in the gubernatorial chair or occupying aevatin Congrees, Tire Posnveaten ie with Wagetsil for Snything he wants. Scnator Bmerson Onreywof Mutet Ineon, t« ape al the most valuatle niembera of that bedy. He haa made an enviable record wd ete the and of the seesion will dietunguish himecIf further. He ie a baeinees inan and anything that will not materially help the people alwaya mectestubbern resiatcnce in Senator Emereon, Ife is a good, clean man and valushle to Ube state, Judge Osborne, of Independence, iv another prominent Southern Kanvas personae at the state house thie week, He1s a eplendid young man; @ bright lawyer and j*tanda high with the people of his county, Ile waa nominated tor probate judge without oppesition aud at the regu. lar elestion had almost a unanimous majority over his Democratic op. ponent. We hope sometime in the © ose future to see him havo a sest in the lawmaking bedy of Kansas, It ina shame that the sensible men in the Demeoratic party are ferocd to suffer for the unomanly utterances of a few foela who want poue as pasty leaders. When the clean, gentlemanly wing of the party (men like Senator Hodges) generate a friendly feeling for the party among the colored people, some nav of the Namer type ta eure to bray and drveth m farther away.

SENATOR CLARK DEFENDS THE CONSTITUTION. We are pleased to know that we have such a man as Hon. Thomas H. Carter, of Montan in the United States Senate. He believes in right and is a fearless champion of the enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the constitution. His position is correct. If the election of Congressmen and Senators was left to the several states for regulation, several states would nullify these amendments, which means much to the colored people, and if carried out would cause untold trouble and bloodshed between political parties. Let every loyal Senator stand with Senator Carter in preserving the Union, the constitution and her amendments which the framers gave years of study and careful consideration. It is a pity that Kansas is misrepresented in this matter by Joe Bristow, and all hope and believe that Senator Curtis will stand pat and save the state's fair name. From all appearance around Shreavesport, La., the color line is fast being obliterated. The Southern white man is doing his best to make the North think that he believes the Negro inferior, but a letter to Judge Blanchard will reveal a far different story. The people of Topeka will have no cause to regret the action of the board of education in selecting Prof. C. C. Starr to succeed Prof. L. D. Whittimore as superintendent of city schools At present he is assistant state superintendent of public instruction He is experienced, highly educated and likes the work as well as the salary. The Legislature is grinding away as though no such person as the Hon. Dolley had ever lived. We have rallied on Speaker Buckman several times and are always accorded a warm welcome. He gave us a pass to the floor of the House and extended many other sentences. Joe Dilly's successor is a fine man and makes a good representative. CHELT GRAND MINTER N. D. JACKSON of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor of Georgia, has been removed from office by the board of curators after being found guilty of misappropriating the funds. He held the office several years and began to to think he owned the order and every dollar in it. Colored leaders should take warning The people are beginning to wake up. The white man robbed them for over two centuries and they will not stand for two more at the hands of their own people to whom they look for protection and a square deal. The special inspector of insurance of Kansas who investigated the two Jim's order said that he was hampered in arriving at a definite conclusion as to its true condition for the simple reason that the books have not been kept by a competent bookkeeper. "They have not learned the importance of observing the details that are essential in operating a society of this character. They have acted too much on the principle that all money that come into their hands could be used for any purpose. I have promised to assist them to make up a report I frequently found descrepencies between amount recorded and actually received." This writes the special insurance inspector of the fake Knights and Ladies of Protection. Beware of "Little Jimy" Guy and "Big Jimy" Mason's fake order. Topeka Colored Schools! A Teacher Writes of the Deplorable Condition. Doubtless many of our readers are aware of the recent action of the board of education in the removal of Prof L D Whittmore as superintendent of the public schools of the city of Topeka. To some the action may seem to be purely a political one; but that it was is not so. For some time there has been a general dissatisfaction throughout the city, not among the citizens alone but also among the teachers; and this recent action of the board in the natural outgrowth of this discontent. Many things can be said both for and against the administration; the introduction of manual training, the rusing of the teachers' salaries, the unusual amount of building and the general improvement of the schools are favorable parts of the record. But on the other hand, there are some things against the administration, among which its attitude towards the colored schools is very noticeable. While the colored people have been given two new buildings (given only what belongs to them), and have had one building partially re-modled, there are other considerations not so favorable. It seems to us that one of the chief aims of the superintendent has been to separate the schools all the way up to the high school; and in this we are sorry to say he has no effect. We are not sorry, however, be use of the separation itself, not because we object to teachers of a grown blood, but because of the great injustice that has been happened on us. Our teachers are expected to carry on the work of eight trades in the same time with the same arrangement of studies, with the same thoroughness and efficiency and meet the same requirements that are expected of the white teachers. Nor do we dhike that, either. We consider it a just and due recognition of the capabilities of the Negro teacher. But we have not told all. Our teachers are expected to do all that with the same thoroughness as the whites where they are given two to five rooms, whilst the whites have from 8 to 18 rooms in which to do the work. Can they do it and do it with the same success? Is it even fair or just to expect it of them? In one of our schools one of our teachers has four classes and in the most of the others the teachers have three classes. Seidom is it that we find a colored school room with only two classes. We venture the remark that not a white teacher in the city has three classes, and we know that many have only one class, especially in the upper grades. Then, too, the administration has established for the colored schools an entirely different system. It has sought as nearly as possible to have classes running through the whole year. By that we mean it has sought to have, and has virtually succeeded in having, only B classes in the fall and only A classes in the spring. This means that if a child fails he must either be pushed back a whole year, or pushed forward when he is not able to go into the higher class. If he fails he must wait until the next fall before there is another class of the same grade as the one in which he failed. And this is justice to the colored boy or girl. The teacher has to send the child on when conscious of its weakness and hates even more to push the child back into the work which it has already satisfactorily done. Now, another point. Suppose a boy or girl completes the grammar school work under the above conditions and is sent to the High school. There he cannot help but fail at some time or other, but usually the first year. And who gets the blame? There are two recipients of this unjust censure; one the child himself, the other the teacher or teachers who prepared him for the High school. And this, too, when neither are to blame. The fact that the pupil has of necessity been overcrowded and that the teachers have been overburdened by the crowding of seven grades in two, or eight grades in four or five rooms, is entirely overlooked. And a most shrewd method of bringing about this crowding, too. One at a time, have the principals of the schools (of the colored schools only) received circulars at the opening of the term saying, retain 7 B, retain 7 A 8 B, or 8 A, as the case may be. And thus the present deplorable condition of laffire. The policy has just about gone the limit. The colored people can not expect more injustice to be heaped upon their children than is at present heaped upon them. No, it is not with displeasure or dread that they look forward to the administration of the new superintendent. It was not with tears and sadness that their eyes greeted the account of the reservation of the board, which, it is hoped, will result not only in a discontinuation but rather in a deceived chapel and a more nearly once adjustment of all war in the colored schools of Tampa, for it is a help and rest of kindness that the award-struggling colored boys and girls have need Y S.
