Ii would seem TO rave been the better

No friction would have arisen and the

PR ESBYTERIAN CHURCH
EXCURSION.

Fully 400 people attended the

enjoyable event of the season. Old
men and old women Git there be
any old women) young men and
young women, youths and maid
ems all We'd with each other in
crowding as much pleasure as was
possible within few hours.
A shower of rain, without
which no Presbyterian or Baptist
excursion is complete, gave a tenn
porary check to the pleasure seek
ers, but they were fully compensat
ed for this set back by the delight
tul sail down the river. Il was a
perfect night in every respect. The
breeze was not TOO stiff but Just
stiff enough and the harvest moon
got right down to business much
to the disappointment of several
spooney youths and maideus who
had selected quiet corners In the
boat as far removed from the hum

would permit, where they expect

THE POLICEMANS' CLUB.

The policemans' club is still a
prevailing subject for discussion
among the colored people OF this
city. There is no abatement, 80
far as its use is concerned, which
will C mpel the people 70 take
the law in their own hands. The
Court puts normal fnd on the
offending party and then suspends
sentence. The case that lawyer
E. NJ. Hewlett caused to be
brought up in the Police Court a
few days ago of a colored man
who was brutally assaulted by one
these green Irish policeman, is a
fair example of mockery on hu-
msnity.
In this case an inofensive color
ed man had been shametully used
up by q member of the police
force; the Court saw the condi-
ton of the man, Notwithstanding,
the Court could see nothing thai
had been 30 dreadfully perpetrat'
ed OH this inotfensive colored
man, that would justify a heavy
find. A grave question confronti
the people, as to the brutal manner
in which some of their fellow ci l.
zens are being treated. If a col
| oreo man defends himself agalns
the attacks of these officers, the
Major OF police makes a great hur
rah in his annual report that owe
two>thirds of the crimes in tht
District of Columbia are commit
ed BY the colored people. Is i
fair, ia it treating the col
ored people with fairness b.
charging that they commlt owe

LEADERSHIP.

MIR. E. P. McCabe, editor and
proprietor of the Lsngston City
Herald, in the last weeks issue
of bis paper, named Mr.. J. M:
Townsend, Recorder of the Land
Office, to lead the revolt against
the Republican party and the Ne
gro representatives, because he
failed, while in this city, to obtain
an Office. Mr.. McCabe knows, as
we'll as the BEE, that Mr.. Towns
end does't not possess the first ele-
ments of leadership. He has a
gift of CAB, you must admit and
Mr.. McCabe himself has always
entertained very poor opinion
of him.
Again. Mr.. McCabe, editor of
the Langston City Herald attempts
TO elevate a few of his pet Negroes
by attempting to degrade Record.
er B. <, Bruce. There is no mau
in this country, Il. e. a black man
who possesses the ability of Mr.
Bruce, there is no Negro born
who possesses the political sagacity
and comes nearer to Negro leader
ship than Mr.. Bruce. The BEE
challenges MIR McCabe to show
one disgraceful act that Mr.. Bruce
has committed. The BEE challen'
ges Mr.. McCabe to point out one
blot on his social or political rec
ord. Can McCabe say as much!
Can any man point to an i'll
stance in Mr.. Bruce's poltica
career where he attempted 10 deny
his race by associatlng with white
people, to the exclusion of hi
own racer
Is 1t not true that McCabe of th'
Langston City Herald, while audi
tor of the State of Kansas, refused
to associate with his own people
Now he sets himself up as tn

TWO COLORED LADIES IN
SUITED.
Georgia News.

d6OlSld News
Mrs. Alexander Hamilton and
her hOusekeeper, Mrs. Powell went
out driving last Sunday, and while
out to the Ponce DeLeon Spring,
they stopped in line with other
vehicles, to listen to the sacred
concert that was going on. While
thus standing, not thinking any
thing to the contrary, a policeman
walked up and ordered these ladies
out, as f they were acting dlsOrd-
erly.
These ladies' were just as refined
and we'll behaved in their actions as
any white ladies out there but sim
ply because in their veins there
we're some traces of African blood,
their presence could not be tOlerat-
ed.
1t is very strange indeed, how
some of the whites of the South can
appreciate the Negro while he is
servant or laborer, but just as soon
as he gets beyond t at, he is hated
and scOrned.
If the Negro is among his best
friends, they should encourage him
in his elevation to make hlmelf a
man.
Now, it would not be sensible to
abuse the officer for his action, he
was simply servant, but the abuse
is to those higher in power.
The Ponce DeLeon Springs are
said to be private property and
the individual has complete con-
troll, but the park belongs to the
city and there should not be any
unjust discrimination made against
any of It's citizens.
The Negro does not desire So
cial equality, bnt he only asked to
be accorded his equal privileges
that is given any other citizen.
There will always be race
friction as long as the white man
tries to oppress toe Negro. This
paper shall ever work for harmo-
ny and peace between the races,
but frank and outspoken agains
all insults and outrages perpetrat-
ed upon the race. 1t ls time for
the white man to launch out upon
broader basis, forget that the Ne
gro was once a slave and allow
him to exercise those privileges
that God intended be should,

CRIME AMONG WASHINGTON
NEGROES.
New York Science.

A contributor to the Washington
Evening "Star" of the 5th instant,
signing himself "a Friend of the
Negro" has recently been making
some comparative studies of the
records Of the Washington police
courts, and greatly deplOres the
showing for crime they exhibit
against the rising generation OF
Washington Negroes. He states,
and there is every reason to believe
that his statement is true. that
"tbe police report for the year end
ing June 25th, 1890, shows As fol-
lows: assaults on policemen, 1862,
by whites IS, by colored 81 as
saults on special officers, 25, by
whites 9, by colored 10. Last year
three policemen were killed by ne
grOes, 2 when attempting to arrest
them, and there is scarcely year
that this does not occur. In the
Star of December "a, 1888, it was
stated that there were then in Jail,
awaiting trial or sentence for muir
der, 16 persons, 2 white and IA
colored. In the Post of March 26,
1890, it was stated there were then
on the calendar Is murder trials,
and in the Star of Dec. 20, 1888, it
was stated that there had been in
the District during the year 26
murders, the greater portion OF
which was by negroes. Now when
it is borne in mind that they con
stitute but one-third of the pOpula.
ton, it will be seen that this is a
terrible record"
Investigating this matter still
further, the Star correspondent is
enlightened in other directions, for
he soon finds out that it is the pres
ent generation of negroes that is
responsible for the majority of these
misdemeanOrs. He finds that it is
not only the pseudo-civilized, coal
black Ethiopian, but more frequent
ly the species to which l alluded
IN Science (No. 416) as "the by
brid,' that is developing a marvel.

almost invariably goes armed with

CRIME IN WASHINGTON.

Ia this weeks issue Of the BEE
an article is reproduced from the
New York Science, concerning
the number of crimes committed
in this city by the colored people
The correspondent, in a feeble
way, attempts to defend the color
ed people for which he has the
thanks of the BEE.
The correspondent ls not aware
that Judge K'mble has adopted a
new system in his court, 1t is a
system that is inconsistent to law
and reason. If O prisoner pleads
guilty to a charge, he is only fined
five dollars, but, if he should be
convicted, no matter how inno-
cent he may be he is fined eight
dollars. The BEE would like to
know where Judge KimbeIl gets
his authority for adopting such a
system, which is contrary to an
old established custom.
You may take all the crimes
committed in one week by the
Negroes in this city and they will
not equal one offense committed
by some of the white people. II
a Negro steals anything, he will
steal just enough to disgrace him
self. When white man steals
anything he will be either gen
tleman or q notorious scoundrel

FAILURES OF THE RACE
ADVOCATES.

Some men who are identified
with the race and who now claim
that they are the recognized lead
ers of the 3olored race are failures
A man may become prominent as
well as notorious by havingreceived
some newspaper notoriety. There
are but a few of these individuals
who belong to this category,
namely: T. Thomas Fortune, who
has become notorious from the
fact that he has been q u ember of
five political parties within the
last six years. He has failed in
everything that he has attempted.
This so-calIed Afro-American
League 10 a failure. The BEE
ventures the assertion that Its
membership does not number one
hundred members throughout the
United States.
At a recent meeting held In
Tennessee a few weeks ago it was
shown that there was not enough
money collected or contributed by
the alleged subordinate clubs to
purchase stationery. Fortunes
success has been all on paper.

Could the negro soldier develop
his ability any more in a separate
post, then be did when he fought
with the white soldier in the late
rebellion? Whenever there ls
any danger ahead the white man
knows when and where to find the
negro. The time is not far OF
