WAIT AND SEE.

One Of our "weakly" contempo-
raries asserted last week that the
parade Monday will be the larges
ever had in this city; that Mr..
Douglass will be listened to by a
larger audience than Hon. j. NJ.
Langston; as the BEE lakes exc .p-
tions, the parade will be the
smallest that ever took p!ac that
it will not be a good farce; that
the American people in thus city
would rather pay fifty cents to
hear Prof. Langston than listen 10
Mr.. Douglass free of charge.
NJ. Douglass has never been
able to fill house on the occasion
of these anniversaries, under the
most favorable circumstances and
it is not likely that be will be able
to do So after the insult he allow
ed his white wife to offer To our
highly respectable and intelligent
colored women in this coun-
try, and especially when he has
published his rd declining to
speak. The difference between
Mr.. Douglass and Prof. Langs'on
is, the former will represent thu Sc
whose ideas are of the past age,
of which he is pupil, while the
latter represents the new and
progressive dispensatioD. One
will represent a class who will
make monkeys of themselves on
the occasion OF street parades, the
other represents an intell gent and
progressive element of the colored
people. Next Monday will con-
vince our weakly" C ntemporary
whether the BEES opposition to
street parades is endorsed. We
do not oppose indoor meetings,
we believe that street parades
should be dispensed with aud the
money be used for a more bene-
ficial purpose. No one but MIR.
Douglass has asserted that there
is split in the celebration. There
is no split, the fact is Mr.. Doug

EMANCIPATION DAY.

The BEE can feel congratulat-
ed on knowing that it has accom-
plished two Necessary things
which have tended TO disgrace
and humiliate the colortd people
In this community. II will he
remembered that every year or
prior to every Emancipation Gel
ebration, the public Departments,
Business and private houses have
been invaded by dishonest col
lectors, or men claiming to collect
FOR the Emah cipation Celebration.
We don't make this charge
against all who were entrust, d
with books, but we do say that
a majority of the book holders
made no returns, thus throwing
the responsibility of the Celebra-
ton on a few who had it In
charge. The BEE succeeded in
putting to an end thts sc dishon-
est collectors, who went from door
to door and every department
asking for money to celebrate
their freedom, when they kne v
perfectly we'll that it was not
freedom that they wished to
celebrate but some bar-room
If any procession takes place
it will be, beyond all doubt a
farce. Every military organiza.
ton in the city declined Mr.. Mar
shall's invitation to parade next
Monday, and where the proces
sion is to come from can be
easily stated. The 8th district,
in which the Rev. Jonnsol lives,
and who has beeu made Chiet
of Staff has failed up to this time
to secure sufficient funds 80 build
a chariot. A collection was
taken up in his charge and only
five dollars was collected, whicu
is an evidence that even Bro her
Johnson's Congregation opposes
street parades. The second district
in which Mr.. Ralp Wormley
resides and who is right aid, had
not secured sufficient funds for IA
chariot. South Washington, the
home of the Chief Marshall, MIR.
Branson, aud Mr.. Marshall, The
President, has about sixteen
Social Clubs. Nothing Of any
Importance has been accomplished
as yet. At m citing held last
week, the book hold,rs reported
poor progress. Although a
parade is published to take
place, the Intelligent culored
people are opposed to it, and

More Vim in the Transactions and the
Tone Much Steadier.

New YORK, Apr l3.-Thc stock market was
quiet to-day, hut there was more vim in the
transactions, and the tone was much steadier
than that Of yesterday, there being a slow
and uninterrupted advance throughout the
day. A much more confident feeling pre-
vailed than has been seen at any previous
time this week, and while there was nothing
new done by the bulls the hears were less
aggressive, and few Of the ralers went over
TO the side of the bulls. The news of the day
was not important, and the harmony de-
veloped at the Trunk Line meeting had
favorable effect upon the general feeling.
The opening prices to-day We're only slightly

up, though Missouri Pacific showed some
weakness. The advance lasted throughout
the forenoon but after that time the business
done underwent n marked decrease and the
movement In prices ceased almost entirely.
The last hour however, showed more anima-
tion, and under the lead of Reading AMI
few specalties everything moved up, and the
market finally closed quiet bat firm to strong
