A NEW ENTERPRISE.

The BEE has always advocated
cooperation among our people
as the only method by which the
race will be recognized in the
body polite. Every branch of
industry is closed against our peo.
pie and it is even impossible for
respectable colored people to rent
a decent house in a respectable
part of the city. Not even those
of our race who have the wealth
will not risk a building enterprise
nor will they build decent houses
for the benefit of their people.
Notwithstanding the cowardice
OF our older men, there are
several young men in the persons
of the Hyman Brothers, F. r. G..
NJ. and John b. who have arrang.
to open a mammouth variety
store on 9Th St., near the o st.
Market. The building has al
ready been engaged, the clerks
hired and the goods ordered.
Now this looks like business
and what we should do as a race
and as citizens Is to give this new
enterprise support, colored young
ladies and gentlemen will be en-
ployed and as the business in
creases so will the number of
clerks increase.

A BRAVE DEFENSE.

The sermon delivered Dy Oar-
dinal Ireland, on the "Race prob
lem," last Sunday at St. Angus
tines church has created a great
deal of commotion among protest.
ant denominations and the col
ored people generally. The Rom
ish church through its cardinal
declares the first truth OF the gos-
pei namely: That all men are
human and being SO have souls, as
the element which determines
equality. 1t places itself square
ly on record on the most essen
tial truth of christianity. In the
second place the cardinal declares
that social ostracism is unworthy
of persons claiming the distinction
of humanity aud says that "no
hall, no parIOr is worthy of exist
ence where a man is excluded or
driven to a corner because Of his
color" This utterance comes from
the highest Catholic authority and
is the watchwOrd for the millions
of faithful followers who willing
ly accept the advice and counsel
of their recognized leaders. This
coup is calculated to revolutioniZe
religious belief and denomination
al predjudices. Professionalism has
taught intolerance OF Roman
Catholic tents and usages, claim
ing a superior piety and more
commendable latitudism; but
with all its piety and boasted
liberality it is swayed by predju-
dice and leaves the Romish
church to hold nobIy and firmly
to the doctrine ofthe brotherhood
of man a truth in which the cold
people are intensely interested just
now and one 10 which the cath
olic church is peculiarly commit
ted. 1t is difficult to determine
the extent of accessiOns which the
church will secure as the result
Of this new departure. Under
the circumstances 1t would not be
strange if the colored people
made magnificent acknowledge
ment Of the kind tender. The
extent of the accessions will OF
course depend on the disposition
Of the white representatives of
professionalism toward the coIOred
people. Hitherto there has been an
apparent combination consisting
OF all denominations of so called
white christians against the color
ed man.
The catholic have broken the
combination. The Cardinal ar
ges that merits shall be the pas
port TO religious aud social recog.
milton aud predicts that the spirit
OF ostracism must 60 and cannot
stand before the steady advance
OF the colored people. 1t is some.
what strange to the c6lored peo-
pie that the catholic church which
they have almost unanimously op.
posed should be the first to extend
the hand of fellowship and declare
in favor Of a universal brother
hood and equality, we are now
prepared for surprise. Let every
boasted white protestant say as
much and pledge themselves to do
as much as has been committed
by the catholics Cardinal Ireland
should be congratulated both for
his just expressions as we'll as for
his Diplomacy and it is fair notice
TO canting and hypocriticaI pro
tessors of christianity that the
colored mans recognition de-
pends not alone to temper of pro.
testantism but has a most potent
mOter in the combined good feel
ing and hospitality of the Roman
Catholic Church
