JUDAS BEHIND THE SCENE

We had long since come to
the conclusion that John Wesley
Cromwell, the Judas behind the
scene, got his fill ofthe BEE while he
was q clerk in the Treasury depart
msnt, from which place he was re-
moved for bis political hypocracy.
1t seems not hswever, aud We have
no hesitency IN saying that he
stands upon uncertain ground as
q public school teacher in one OF
the Public schools of this city.
While employed in the Treasury
department under the Cleveland
administration, be pretended to
have resigned his paper and turn

A WARNING.

There is no Disgusting the tact
but that certain conventions are
called to intimidate the admlnis-
trstion and force it to do what II
already had anticipated to do. 1t
10 all well enough to organize as
uoclations for the educational and
financial welfare of the colored
people, but for a set of men to call
conventions to air their grievances
10 the detriment of the masses
tend to do mole harm than good
We are opposed to a lot OF dis
gruntled politicians misrepresent-
ing to the ignorant people OF this
country that the executive branch
of this government has the power
to bring to trial and prosecute Grim
mails for any act committed against
the laws of any state. The President
as we have repeatedly stated, has
not the constitutional power to
try crimes that rightly belong to
State and no, United States courts.
The powers of the Presidedt are
Executive and not Judicial, the
pewers of Congress are legislative
and not Executive nor Judicial.
The courts must execute the laws
that are given 10 them by Congress.
What is the object of some otthes
So-cslled conventions, is it for tn
purpose of misrepresenting thing'
to the ignorant masses and mis-
informing them of the real condi--
ton of affairs? The question Is
asked do we want a convention!
Is a convention at this time neces-
sary? In view of the Presidents
recent message to Congress we are
of the opinion that national Con
veution of colored men % assem-
bic in this city is unnecessary and
this country should discontenence
such q call for a convention. The
secret of the convention that is
called to assemble in this city, is to
give o few soreheads and disap-
pointed politiclansan opportunity
70 air themselves:
What is to be accomplished!
It is time enough TO cali conVen'
zion when Congress tails 10 act
and put in operation the sugges-
tious iu the recent message TO Con-
gress. There are men who are
continually parading themselves
before the country and posing as
leaders OF the people who don't
recognize them as such. We
don't want any convention in this
city and we are confident that the
people throughout the country are
not ready for convention Ii a
convention is held at all, and we
don't believe that one will be held,
ycu will see, hear and read more
about southern outrageS than has
ever been printed in all the Con-
gressicnal Investigations.
Let the colored people get edu'
cation aud property and they vii
find that conventions are bu
myths. Wealth aud education will
beatsall the Mr.. .sChairnians, re
solves, "pints" of order or anything
else that are characteristic of colo
red conventions. Educate you
children, teach them to be homes
and industrious and by wise am
judicial legislation by Congress, tn
solution of the negro problem
shall have become a certainty
If We are to organize for the edu
cal, financial and civil welfare G
our people, let the wlrey politi
Clans and the quisi leaders retir
from the tield of action and let To
neonIe rule.

The BEE is indebted to John

One would suppose that John

The "Bee" has the document
that was read to the democratic
Senator of Virginia, asking for the
Liberian Mission for the senior be-

A hint to the wise ought to be

He can have it more direct if he

A great political battle has been
fought in Salt Lake City, Utah, be-
tween the Mormons and the Gentiles,
the former calling themselves sthe
peoples party" and the latter 'the
liberal party" The liberal party won
the battle by a majority of Al votes,
and thus for the first time in forty
years has Salt Lake City escaped
from the thraldom Of Mormon rule.
The Salt Lake Daily Tribune in com
menting on the election speaks as fol
lows: A mormon majority was ex-
pected, as the saints had been whoop-
ed up from way back IN the ward
meeting houses during Sunday, and
the bishops, teachers and deacons had
worked like beavers to run the faith
full into the harness. The ecclesiasti-
cal whip, spur and lash were pied
right and left, SO that when the polls
opened the saints felt sure Of holding
their own. The day passed quietly
for an election day, and at nightfall
a good crowd gathered at the Walker
House. Everybody was expectant
and hopeful Presently the news
came that the Fifth precinct had gone
gentle by 279. This put the crowd
in a good humor at once, and when
the announcement was made that the
Second preclncit had gone gentle the
crowd got excited. Then came the
word that the First precinct had elect
ed Frank Pierce, and then the crowd
went wild. But when they learned
of the tremendous gains in the
Third and Fourth precincts, and that
the city was gentle, pandemonium
itself broke loose. Speeches were
made from the balcony of the Walker
House, reported below, and then the
crowd broke for torches, horns, COW
bells, drums, cannon crackers and
Roman candles. The Walker House
bar was opened, and healths to the
rejuvinated city were drunk in a cata-
ract. Men Rugged one another in
their excitement and almost cried for
! JOY. The yelling, cheering and
shouting were continuous, and an
impromptu procession filed through
the streets with lights of all kinds,
transparencies, and anything that
would make a noise. The celebrating
was kept up until late hour.

Would it not be a righteous act
for US who were not damaged by the
hail, to contribute corn to those who
were? The corn could be thrown in
to a common ''fund" to be checked
out by proper officers on committee.
There is a chance to show how much
you pity your neighbors, and, at
the same tune 'Gend to the Lord"
In this connection it is not out of
place to say that the report that the
writer of this is soliciting corn for one
Of his friends is wholly and unquali-
fedly false and has no foundation in
fact, but originated IN the fertile
brain Of some one who must have
something to say. We do not lay
claim to any great amount of sense,
but we think we know enough not to
solicit for any one person when so
many are needy. We do not think
we are better than our neighbors, but
we are willing to open a subscription
at our own home where all who wish
to, can contribute ''as the the Lord
has prOspered him." but it must be a
voluntary offering as we do not wish
to solicit after what has been said
PED.

The delegates elected at the re-
publican county judicial convention.
held at this place last Saturday, are
solid for w. H. Pratt Of this county
for Judge. Mr. Pratt certainly
needs no introduction to the people
of this district, for he served them
four years upon the bench, being the
predecessor Of the present incumbent.
During his term of Office he made
many warm friends throughout the
district, who viii no doubt be glad to
hear that he is again in the field for
judicial hOnors. Mr.. Pratt is an old
resident of the county, having resid-
ed here for over seventeen years. The
fact that his delegates were elected by
reclamation shows that the people of
this county are in hearty sympathy
with his candidacy.

hand bill. My plan for fifteen wears
mas been to buy so much space in a
newspaper and fill it up with what I
wanted l would not give an adver-
tlsem9ent in newspaper of four
hundred circulation for five thousand
dodgers or posters. If [ wanted To
sell cheap jewelry or run a LOTTERY
scheme, 1 might use posters, but I
would not insult a descent reading

A gentleman who claims to have
taken actual count says los different
Office seekers called on Congressman
Turner last Friday let's see, per-
haps he said one Office seeker called
lO8 times.-Phillipsburg Democrat.
As the doughty Captain, who
yields the helm of the Democrat, was
one Of the callers, perhaps he desires
to be classed among the Office seekers.
But the Captain is mistaken; those
los gentlemen-providing that was
the number, who called upon Hon.
E. j. Turner, were not Office seekers.
They simply dropped in to pay their
respects to worthy gentleman, whom
they honor and respect. It is true
that the Captain may have been soIic-
iting Office even under a republican
administration, for 1t is we'll known
that his hatred of Hon. E. J. Turner
IS caused from the fact that Mr.. Tur-
ner did not assist the Captain to a
federal appointment under Cleve-
lands administration. We presume,
however, that Mr.. Turner is entirely
indifferent'a as to whether the Demo
crat abuses him or not, unless it be
that, like the boy when the mule
kicked HIM, he may consider it a high
compliment after noticing the source
from which the mud Singing ema-
mates.
