But as a member of the Hoard remarked to a Leader reporter a few days ago, if he is a man or independence and ability combined, he will have a "hard row to hoe."

Last Thursday a week ago, a dark mulatto woman, giving the name of Henrietta Royston, hailing from Texarkana, Ark called at the residence of J G. Britton, 230 West Michigan street, with her two twin babies, a bright-eyed little boy and girl. The woman stated that she had plenty of money and wished to hire some one to take care of her children. Mrs. Britton agreed to care for the little ones for $5 a week, which offer the woman accepted, paying $4 down. The mother looked after the children regularly up until last Monday morning, at which tim li"olll and stated to Mrs. Britton that she had secured some 1 work to do and would not return that day. Since then nothing has been heard of her, save that she was seen begging money to get to Cincinnati with. The little waifs are about four months old, and have a very bright and promising appearance. If no proper person is found to take care of them, they will be sent to the Home of the Friend-

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The Leader Endorsed by the Public. The Prejudices of the Superiutendent aud Committee Reviewed. We are gratified to know that the position we have taken in reference to the dosign of Messrs. Brown, Tarbell and Caiey, to gradually supplant colored with white teachers in our colored echools, meets not only with the warm approval of the colored and white people of this city, but with all fair-minded people everywhere. Wo have no selfish motive to gratify in this matter. Our papr is published in the interests of the colored people, and whenever wo see an attempt made to trample upon these interests we shall resent the insult, without stopping to ask who made it. It may be possible that Messrs. B'own, Tarbell and Carey will now and then find colored men who will bow and grin obedience to any trick they may propose, by which to insult our our people, but it will not be the editors of this paper. We shall always be found de fending what we believe is best for our po pie regardless of whom we may have to Oppose. It is a matter peculiarly puzzling to the, pitrons of the colored schools, that the otly pronounced policy of Supt. Tarbell with reference to these schools, should be to drive out the c dored teachers. They think that a man who has no higher ambition with reference to our schools, is not the right kind of man to be superintendent of such an educational system as we have in Indianapolis. And they are right. A man whose prejudices against color are so strong as Mr. Tarbell's, is certainly not the man vo be at the head of the schools in a city like ours. We need in the Superintendent a man of brains, breadth, culture and ability, and not narrowminded, spiteful, conscienceless race prejudice. The time for proscribing and belittling people because they are of a darker hue than some other people, is played out, and Mr.Taroell will find it out, too, if be stays in Indianapolis many years, a contingency which is open to doubt, unless ho is trying to make a record on which to run for Mayor. It would be interesting to know what Tarbell, Brown and Carey think the colored people wish to have their children do after they are educated. No educated young colored man or woman can obtain what is called respectable employment in any private office, bank, store, or business hou?e of any kind in this city; yet Tarbell, Brown and Carey would not even allow them to teach in the colored schools. We think these gentlemen are carrying their prejudices too far. They should remember that this is a new and different era to that of fifteen or twenty years ago. We are informed by a former employee that when Dr. Carey was Superintendent of the old I. C. R. R., now part of the Pan Handle line, he established a rule that colored ladies must ride in the smoking car. The Doctor certainly knows that no such regulation as this would now be maintained in this State; and he should also know that nothing akin to it can long be maintained in this city. The times have changed, and Negro haters must also change or go to the rear. Public Cpinion. The following are a few of the opinions we have heard expressed on Brown, TarBell and Carey's school policy. We shall have more of the same next week: Mr. John Preston said: "The colored people whose children attend No. 19 are not satisfied with the appointment of white teachers in that school. It is wrong, and will do great harm to the school " Mr. Hiram White said: "We have had competent colored teachers, and our schools have prospered. I can see no reason for a change, and am opposed to changes being made bv the Board. ' Mr. Henry Turner said: "I am opposed to Mr. Tarbell's policy of placing white teachers in colored schools, when it is a well-known fact that competent colored teachers can be had." Mr. Edward Harris said: ''If they appoint white teachers in our schools, then colored teachers should not be confined to colored schools. I am opposed to the appointment of white teachers in our schools because the Board will not do this." II. N. Rankin said: "I knew nothing of tin secret meeting. The action of the committee and Superintendent is an insult to the patrons of our colored schools. Of course competent colored teachers can be secured, and they should be placed in these schools." G. W. Cheatham said: ''This business of Tarbell getting one or two colored men to endorse his treachery, and then claiming that the colored people approve of his schemes, has gone far enough. The people could get along without Tarbell, but we want colored teachers for our schools." Elder Manson, pastor of Blackford Street Church, said: "I am in favor of Mr. Tarbell's policy of putting white teachers in colored schools, provided he places some colored teachers in white pchools but I am opposed to any unjust discrimination toward colored teachers.'' Rev. Anderson Simmons said: ' I did not attend the Superintendent's meeting. If 1 had been present, I would have objected to the policy of the Board in placing white teachers in No. 19. The patrons oftbat school are dissatisfied with the change. We want our educat d young men and women to have a chance.'' W. A. Mays said: "In the first place I opposed the petition for separate school 3, which was gotten up by colored men, but since colored children roust attend colored schools, colored teachers should teach those schools. The two or three colored men who endorse the committee's action are simply tools and not representatives of the people. Mr. John Stewart said: "The policy of tho Superintendent and the Committee is a great injustice io our young men and women who have prepared, and are now preparing them selves lor teachers, lhere is no justice in their action. If the Board will give some of our colored teachers positions in white schools, all will be right. Mr. E. Outland said: "The recent trick of the Superintendent and committee in holding a secret meeting and only inviting six or seven men to express the sentiments of the colored people of this city, is an insult to every intelligent colored man in our midst. It is adding insult to injury, and the men who have done it will be rebuked. We want colored teachers for colored schools." Mr. Leroy Washington said "If the School Board want the teachers mixed, then it is nothing more than right that colored children should attend any school in the District in which they live; if they aro not willing for our children to attend school with white children, then we want colored teachers to teach our children. Let them place some of our colored teachers in white schools and we will r.ot complain." Mr. Frank Hurt said: "2s o colored man of principle will endorse the action of Tar bell and the Committee in ignoring the col ored teachers and placing one of our schools entirely under the control of white teachers. The idea of a half dozen colored men being invited by Tarbell to express the sentiments of the colored people is disgusting in the extreme. Tho people are opposed to his policy, and he knows it, as was shown by his secret meeting." Mr. Conrad Burley said: "If Tarbell and his Committee wanted an expression of the

people on the question, they should have invited tlie people to attend their meetings or send their representatives, but they did neither. It was a set up job and an insult to the colored people of this city. I suppose they knew the people would condemn them, and hence were afraid to have a meeting. They evidently believe in ring rule." Mr. Charles Lucas said, 'I am unequivocally opposed to the action of the board in placing white teachers in our schools. Our people, like all others should stand on their own merits, but tho Board seems to be unwilling to allow colored teachers to exhibit their merit even in teaching pupils of their own race. If this policy is pursued it will cause trouble, and the School Board oueht to know it." Mr. Louis Johnson said: ''The colored people hre taxed to sustain the schools and thenJJ hey are forced to attend sej & -ate schools. Not SHtit-lied with this, they now want to gradually close the doors against Colored teachers. If colored children are good enough to be taught by white teachers, they are certainly good enough to attend school with white children. I avn decidedly opposed to the appointment of white teachers in our schools." Charles E. Bailey said: "Tarbell and Brown seem to be running the Board, schools and everything else. It is time for them to call a halt or be ha'ted. The Board seems anxious to crush every aspiration which ought to stimulate the pupils in our schools to greater efforts in their work. TarDell did not invite me to his meeting. If I lived in that District and had a child I would not send it to No. 19 with its present corps of teachers." Mr. Edward Carter said: "I was not invited to the committer's little caucus. I fully endorse the sentiment of the Leader on the appointment of teachers. I am bitterly opposed to the appointment of white teachers in our schools. It is a sad state of affairs when we educate our chitdren and then to behold even the colored schools closed against them as teachers. They will appoint white teachers in our schools, but no colored teacher will they ever appoint in a white school." Mr. CT. Burris "said: "I understand it all; Tarbell can't find places in the white schools for all applicants of that race, so colored teachers are to be crowded out, to make room for his favorites. The two or three colored men who concurred in the action of the Committee would sacrifice every interest of our race in order to carry out selfish motives. These men do not represent the people, and it is time the white people were knowing

KILLED BY THE CARS.

Charlie Wildingr, Foreman of the Bee Line Yards, Meets With a Terrible Death. About 5 o'clock Monday afternoon a terrible accident occurred in the Bee Line yards, between Alabama and East streets. Pony 54 was engaged in making up a train to send out during the m evening, and as all the switchmen were busy, Charles Wilding, the foreman of the city yards, left his other duties and went to helping the "boys" make up the train. He went in between the cars to uncouple them, while the train was in motion. His left foot caught in the guard rail, which threw him to the ground, and one of the cars passed over the limb, entirely severing the foot from the leg. The wheels also passed over his left arm, crushing it in a horrible manner. The wounded man was at once taken to his residence, on New York street, between East and Liberty streets, where medical aid was summoned. All was done for him that could be, and he lingered in terrible pain until 11 o'clock, when he died. Mr. Wilding was thirty-two years of age, and leaves a wife and two children. A COUNTERFEITER CAUGHT. On Sunday a man, who gave his name as William Wright, was arrested at Crawfordsville for passing counterfeit money. He went to that city from the New Ross Fair, and passed a number of spurious dollars, and when taken into custody a considerable quantity of the counterfeit coin was found in his possession. Yesterday a Deputy United States Marshal brought the man to this city in shackles and lodged him in Jail. He will be examined by the United States Commissioner to-day. The name he gives is thought to be an alias, and the arrest is regarded as an important one. He is said to be from St. Louis, and is looked uion as a dangerous character. The following telegram is explanatory: Special to the Sentinel: Crawfordsville, Ind., Ang. 23. Villiam Wright, the alleged counterfeiter, who was arrested here last Saturday night, (as mentioned in Monday's paper) had his preliminary examination before I S. Kennedy, the United States District Attorney, this morning, and was bound over to the September term of Court and his bail fixed at Sl.000. A. P. Hart, United States Deputy Marshal from Indianapolis, arrived In the city this morning and left on the 4:05 p. m. train for Indianapolis with the prisoner. NEW SUITS.

He was iumnintr on ami oil" of the cars, and had just left Car GO, when he was struck by the other car going in an opposite direction. The Coroner held an inquest Friday. Drying Potatoen. We have once or twice briefly referred to th new practice of drying potatoes. It is claimed by thuse who have thoroughly and effectually tested the advautages derived from this new process that: They are rendered non-nerishable. cost of freiunt is lessened they need not be forced on m. downward market, expense of storage is reduced there is diminished cost in handling, they can be stored in any dry place without danger, there is no shrinkage from rot, sprouting, wilting or age; they may be conveved to anv nart of tho wnrlH . man may carry home an equivalent of five bushels under his arm. The cost of paring and drying in iaree ouan lilies is ten cents ner bushel ai.rt the freight and weicht is reduced to less thn one-fifth. Those varieties that have an even mirface and full eyes are the best for evaporating. exenange. W e know nothing of this new nrocess of drying potatoes, but we well remember the "dessicated iotatoes, which our good com missary furnished us in the array. They were as "iry as a Done," Dut when cooked tasted as well as if but freshly prepared. Not half the possibilities of the preservation of vegetable food are yet understood, and we can see no reason why the potato may not be preserved in this, way with both economy and profit, " J
