DIR. FRANCIS.

There seems to be some criti-
cism against the action of DIR.
Francis for the transfer of Miss
Catcher, from the principalship
Of the 21st street school, to the
High School. If the doctor
deemed it advisable to make such
a transfer, we don't think the
public should criticise him unless
it is apparent that such a transfer
would injure the schools.
The BEE will sustain DR.. Fran
els, when he is in the right and so
far he has made good school
trustee. Miss catcher has tender
ed her resignation, which we
regret very much, as she was an
excellent teacher. The appoint
ment of Miss Mary Nalle to the
position declined by Mrs. patcher,
will meet the approval of the
entire community.

POLITICAL HINTS.

1t is said among staunch repub-
llcans that there will be a Negro
in the cabinet in 'S9.
Hon. B. K. Bruce. will stir up
Indiana in his opening campaign
address.
If the Republican Nationa
committee continue to send out 80
many black republican war horses
in the field, it will bejust to say
the tickets will win.
The democrats torch light de-
monstration last week, was so
slimly attended that they turned
in a frelarm to draw a crowd.
1t is true that President Cleve-
land is in advance of his party, but
he cannot be president for four
more years you know.
The most influential and best
men In both parties ase clamoring
for change in the government.
And by st, Paul, they shall have
it.
The outlook is that the CAM
paign of '88 will be made warm
for the democratic party, by hav-
lug so many republican hard hit
ters In the field.

DEMOCRATIC COLORED
STUMP SPEAKERS.

A colored democratic said to a
BEE representative a few days
ago, that it is the object of the
democratic party to keep negro
democratic orators out OF the field;
that be democrats were not an
xious for colored democratic
orators, and not even the Hon. j.
Milton Turner has been employed
yet by the democratic national
committee, that Mr.. J. g. Matth.
ews, ex-recorder of deeds, is die
tating to the democratic commit
tee as far as negro democrats are
concerned. 1t seems that Mr..
Matthews has the ear of the COM
mittee Notwithstanding the bark
ing of a few dogs. There seems
TO be detected look on the face
of the colored democrats aud
especially those who have opposed
Mr.. Matthews, since his connec-
tion with the democratic national
committee. Matthews Is the boss

his pretended colored democratic
aspirants for political honors.

PROF. CLARK.

Our esteemed friend Prof. Peter
III. Clark, of Ohio, is no doubt now
convinced that he entered into a
scheme to Indorse the democratic
party in a manner not at all CON-
pIimentary to him and his friends.
While he may have been honest in
what he undertook, there were
others who were after making mon
ey and those whose record will not
stand the calcium light.
We have the very highest regard
for Hon. J. Milton Turner and we
are of the opinion had he not enter
ed into a delusive scheme for the
purpose of passing his Cherokee
Freedmens' DILL, it would have pass
ed the House on its merits, and
while it is fact that those freed
men should get their money, Mr..
Turner should not have coupled the
bill with any measure looking to-
wards the success Of either party.
We believe that the bill should pass
Notwithstanding the fact that Mr..
Turner is the authorized agent OF
the Cherokee Freedmen. We are
free to admit that those poor ne.
groes should not suffer on account
of Mr.. Turner's blunder, and we
would suggest to the Republicans
of the House of Representatives to
pass the bill and let those deserving
negroes have their money. Prof
Clark pretentiously comes to the
defense of Mr.. Turner, and If one
reads between the lines OF Prof
Clarks' article in reply to the edi-
tor of the BEE, it can be seen that
Mr.. Turner is knitted by those
who had not the influence nor the
standing to call a convention OF
conference of colored men, and
while he was seemingly helping
other men and force the passage OF
his bill, he has done great injury to
the Cherokee Freedmen and they
should not suffer by any means

A SECRET SESSION.

There was a secret session OF
the special committee that was
appointed by the school board to
investigate the charges OF Mr..
Cardoza against Prof. Brown, held
on last Tuesday evening in the
John 4. Cook school. The BEE
found out that the committee in
tended to meet Notwithstanding
the secrecy of the call. Trustee
Cornish said that the meeting was
of private nature, but, it was
inferred by the BEE that an at
tempt would be made to compro-
mise the matter. The charges are
too grave to be compromised.
hence the investigation must take
place.

ssIfyou want the white man to with.
draw from your party, he will do
so damned quick" He denounced
the statement that the white people
were selfish in wanting the nomins-
tion, as "a lie from the tongue of
a political trickster, and discussed
Prof. Langston's political record.
He announced his readiness to
meet Langston and Venable on
every court green. Resolutions
were adopted pledging support to
Harrison and morton and approving
the national platform-for protec-
tion, against the internal revenue,
for education-and denouncing
Col. James D. Brady.
A second invitation brought
Gen. Malone to the hall, and he
was received with the widest ap-
plause, He returned thanks for
the compliment and expressed
qualification of the work of the
body. He discussed Republican
prospects and predicted a great
victory. In response to a ques-
ton he made some savage remarks
about Col. Brady and H. H. Dy-
son. Gen. Malone was boarse and
evidently unwell and made but a
brief speach. There is no chance
of either candidate Withdrawing
and bitter fight between them
will ensue, which the democrats
believe will give their candidate a
chance for election.

A SHAME.

The fire which occurred at the
John Wesley church on last Tues
day night week, did much damage
and met the disapproval of all
friends. 1t was done by some
mean and malicious persons. 1t
is a shame that some people are so
low and dirty as to perpretrate
such outrages on house of wor.
ship. The BEE sincerely hope the
parties engaged in this affair will
be caught and dealt the last ex-
tremities of the law. The church
literary was completely destroyed
and several other valuable things
too numerous to mention, was lost
before assistance could be render
ed. The BEE will be one of the
number to contribute five books
towards the up building of the
literary,

ANONYMOUS LETTERS.

1--WE desire to state that we take
no notice of anonymous communi-
cations nor is the BEE hunting
for scandal. Within the last three
or four weeks we have received
at least five such letters concerning
reputable young ladies residing
in the northwestern section of
the city. A lady called
at this Office Wednesday and
stated that she had received a let
ter concerning her visit to a place
in the vicinity of this Office. So
far as the place is concerned it is
respectable in every particular and
if she went there it is no business
of ours.

MR.. STEWART PERSISTANT.

In another column of this issue
will be found a letter of Mr.. w.
A. Stewart to DIR. J.. r. Francis,
trustee ofthe 9TH school division
and a member of the Normal and
High school committee. While
we are personally friendly to both
Miss Moten and Mr.. Stewart and
would do nothing to either, yet
we must disagree with the
methods of Mr.. Stewards attack
against this lady. From our best
and most reliable informants, we
are told that Mr.. Stewart is wrong
and for that reason alone we don't
agree with him. IF Mr.. Stewards
charges warrants an investigation,
he should have one, if not the
board should ignore his charges.
MIR. Stewart. himself admitted
to a BEE representative some time
ago what displeased him was the
marking down of his niece. This
of course is denied by Miss
Moten and it is not believed by
the school officers, superintendent,
Cook iespesially who ought to
know the condition of the Normal
school.

TO THE COLORED PEOPLE.

We beg leave to call the atten-
tion of our colored fellow citizens
to the suffering condition of our
colored citizens in Florida. We
should be more patriotic than
1hat we are. Appeals are COM
ing up daily from our people for
aid, but yet there seems to be a
deaf ear to these appeals so far as
our people are concerned. Let the
ministers of the colored churches,

Brooks, G. I'll, and w. III. Phillips,

meeting of the people and take
some steps in aiding our people in
the South who are down with the
yellow fever.
A more worthy object could not
be agitated than this one and the
sooner we take some steps in this
direction the better it will be.
Let the meeting be called as soon
as possible in one of the many
colored churches in this city. We
know that any one of the gentle
men named above will be willing
to call a meeting la his church.

THE ETERNAL CURSE

AS long as the Southern white
people continue to mistreat the
negro, in his helpless condition. SO
long will the eternal God
continue to send plague
of some kind. It may look
strang to the Southern white
people, that the yellow
fever should take 80 many of them
away. Right shall prevail even if
it comes in the shape of yellow
fever. Take the advice of the
BEE for once and see if there will
not be a change in the condition
of the people. Don't you know
that every negro that is killed the
more unhealthy the country gets.

LANGSTON THE HERO,

sURE-CoL. BRADY DEFENDS THE
NEGRO.

PETERSBURG, VA. Sept. 49,
Farmville was filed Wed. night with
delegates to the Congressional Con-
ventiOn, and friends of the oppos.
ing candidates. Gen. Malone open
ed the proceedings by speech to
the Arnold men, who supported his
organization, and was very bitter
against Langston. He declared
that no negro must 60 to Congress
from the Fourth District at this
time and that Langston was more
of a Democrat than a Republican.
His utterances caused bitter COM
ment among the Langston people
and further incensed the colored
people against what they called the
methods of the ssboss."
The night was spent in hard
work and this morning the Con-
gressional district committee, Mes
Sis Robert McCandish, B. f. jar
rett and Ross Humilton, the last
named a Langstonite, met to pre-
pare roll of delegates. They
finally decided by vote Of to 1,
Hamilton opposing their action, to
rule out all but thirteen OF the Lang
stOn delegates.
This was the signal for break
and the Langston people adjourned
to the Opera House and organized
their convention. The stage was
handsomely decorated with banners
and flowers, and it was filled with
prominent Langston Republicans,
white and colored, among them a
large number of prominent colored
preachers. A permanent organiza.
tion, with Ross Hamilton as chair.
man, was quickly affected, and
Langston received the unanimous
vote Of the convention.
A committee brought Mr.. Lang
ston into the convention. He made
a brief speech portraying his de.
votiOn to the Republican
party, claiming equal rights
Tor white and black alike, and re-
pelling the charge made by Gen.
Malone that he was more of a Dem.
ocrat than Republican, and that
a negro ought not to 90 to Con-
gress. He made a few clever thrusts
at the past political record of Gen.
Malone. Resolutions were adopted
indorsing Col. James D. Brady's
appointment to the National Com.
mittee and his services to the party:
pledglng earnest and cordial sup
port to John Mercer Langston re-
proving the methods and secret
meetings of Gen. Malone, and re.
fuslng recognition to Malone COM
mltteemen and chairman. Colonel
Brady addressed the Convention
and was heartily cheered.

credentials reported the list of dele

tary. Judge r. W. Arnold was

turned with the committee. There
was music, and then he made his
