The BEE is in error in making this state

some of the money collected for her imme-

TIE HYMAN BROS.

For several wears it has been d
question of conjecture whether or
not there were men who possessed
sufficient courage to start buSi-
ness enterprise of their own and
would employ young ladies Of
their own race, thus demOnstra

the colored people to continually
demanding business houses con

The BEE, has for ten years ad
vecated c)-optration in business
On the part of the colored people
and the establishment of business
houses among themselves. To the
graf ticati on of the BEE, its advo-
cacy, of these principals, has not
heen in vain. What has been done?

ed two large stores where some
If the most enterprising and tai
ented young ladies of color are
employed. Instead of the race or
moneyed negroes encouraging
these young men, they have been
compelled, to great extent, to
cater to the white people for sup
pert Ii IS IA shame and disgrace.
Not beng discouraged by The lack
of interest on the part of the COL
ored people, these young men have
leased a larger store, at greatev
cost, at 1872 7th st., n. W., between
6 and Ii sts., where they will be
prepared to handle larger stock
Of valuable goods. They have also
put in electric lights and every
thing else that will tend to make
up first class business place. The
opening day at this new store will
take place Saturday. March 14th,
and it is hoped that the colored
people will have enough race pride
to visit the store on it's opening
day, if they don't desire to pur-
chase any goods.

THE ADMINISTRATION.
TWO YEARS OF REPUBLICAN RULE
PRESIDENT HARRISON INDoRsED.
The New York Press


The administration of President
Harrison is two years old today.
The time is OppOrtune to review its
laborS and determine what the
country may expect from the two
succeeding years that are to CON-
plete his term. 1t has often been said
that the administrations are weak
or wi h the people at their beginning
than at their close, and less popular
midway between their beginning
and ending than at any other stage.
Every administration in late years
has been more popular i'll the last
year of its existence than at the
half way stage. Judged by what
1t has accomplished, a summary of
which from each of the departments
is presented in this issue of the
Press, the present administration
is likely to follow the general rule.
Chief among its features has
been its sturdy RepublicaniSm, the
efforts to honestly redeem every
platform pledge on which General
Harrison went to the country as
candidate. These pledges have
not at all been redeemed, but the
responsibility of the failue does
not rest on the administration, but
the faithless members of Congress
in one branch or the other.
The maintenance Of the credit of
the Government and the aversion
of threatened disaster through panic
have been effected by the Treasury
Department, while a definite policy
in reference to silver has been en-
tered upon to give the country the
use of silver as currency without
endangering the stock OF gold coin.
The State Department has dlplO-
matically effected reciprocity treat
les, or has treaties in process OF
negotiation, by which that policy
has become universally popular.
The Navy Department has been
putting new war vessels on the
ocean of the most approved type,
and the War Department has quell
ed a threatened Indian war. The
postal service has been vastly i'm
proved and made subservlent TO
business needs, and the new De-
partment Of Agriculture has per
formed so much valuable labor in
promoting agricultural interest
that public men are wondering why
it was net created before.
This is all outside of the work of
Congress, which has been encOurag
ed by the Presid't to pass measures
Of administrative policy that are
the most important legislative
works of gears, but come more
plOrskiy under the review of legls

OUR DUTY.

There is a plenty of work for
the colored people in this COM
munlty to do without depending
SO much on the white people. 1t
is the general complaint among
some people of color that the
white people, because they possess
it all, are necessarily compelled to
employ colored young men and
women in stores. If the colored
men of means would come togeth-
er, like the Hyman Bros for an
example, there would be no need
of So much complaint among those
who want to do. There is Ger
tain element of the colored people
who encourage street parades,
which costs not less than $4,000
when that money could be con-
tributed to the homes for friend
less girls and INDECENT women and
children.

Habit Stronger Than the Bishop.

During the session of the Methodist con-
ference at Washington, last week, says the
correspondent of the Boston Herald, one OF
the ministers went into a drug store about
dusk On a chilly evening and asked the pro-
prietor for a good mild cigar. After paying
Tor it he added:
us there any place around your store
where l can have a quiet smoke? Our
bishop has just been preaching pretty
strongly against the use of tobacco, SO ]
don't want to smoke round the house
where l am staying, nor out in the street,
on account of the bad example l might set.
But a mild cigar does rest one so!''
The druggist quite agreed with him, and
said:
"step behind my prescription counter,
sir; you will be unseen there"
1.-TWO minutes later another good minis
ter came into the store, bought a mild CT
gar, and asked if he might be permitted tc
smoke in the store, because:
"Our bishop has just been preaching
against smoking" he explained almost in
the exact words of his predecessor.
He also was sen behind the prescription
counter. Thu screen hid the two dominies
from sight, but it did not shut out the peals
of laughter which arose when minister
number two encountered minister number
one.

MAYOR KLEINsCHMIDT.

Party discipline and machine methods
have won the day, and by something
like their old time majority the repub-
licans regain their supremacy in the city
government. The voters of the city
have declared for a partisan admins
t~ration, II by q party for the benefit of
a party-the spoils to the ~yictors. AS
to how the result was brought about an
analysis Of the returns will show in
part. The democrats were beaten in the
,utset on the registration, the republi'
cans under superior organization getting
their forces we'll in hand and registered
before the democrats started the fight.
The democrats were beaten at the
polls in democratic precincts by the in
difference Of some democrats and the
open treachery of others. This is no
tably the case in the First ward. AS to
the methods there employed it is un-
necessary to comment. The citizens of
Helena we'll understand them.
As to the Citizens movement, while
many of the republicans who started
with it felt the pressure OF party and
fell into line at the last, many others
loyalty supported Mr.. Murphy at the
polls. This is notably true of MI. Muir
phys own ward. 1t is certain that
enough republicans voted for Mr.. Muir
ply to elect him had the full democratic
vote of the city been brought Out.
So, we salute you, Mayor Klein
schmidt, this morning, and wish you a
prosperous and successful administra.
tion. So long as partisan methods are
to prevail in municipal affairs we are
glad the conduct of the city's business
is to be in the hands of a republican so
experienced and capable.
