fail to so arrange matters that the poor
freedmen is eventually compelled to pay
back every cent of the money invested
in the charitable" operation. and a
very large percentage upon the invest
ment. In plain words, tho thing is a
big speculation disguised as a charity.
In few years, the venture becomes
self supporting, and supplied several of
our white brethren and sisters with bet
ter and more profitable positions than
they could get anywhere else. The
credit goes to the big church or big go
ciety, but the Colored brother really
foots the bill, and is indebted to the
white brother only for the management.
An impartial investigation of many of
the so-called charitable operations
among the Colored people would show
that very large number of them have
some KIM OF an atCacnmenC TO force
them to pay for all they get. This, OF
course, is all right, but to call it by its
right name would also be alright. The
advancing of sum of money to help
the Colored people in any way, schools,
churches or any thing else, when accom-.
panied by plan to compel the repay.
ment of every cent invested, is com.
mendable thing, just the kind of bust.

but it is not charity. The South is full
of such speculations, which pass in pub.

made to do.

The kings remains VIII be embaimed at
once. While no definite arrangements have
been made yet for the funeral services here
and the removal of the remains to the
islands, it is probable that services will be
| held in Trinity Episcopal church on Thurs
| day, and that the remains will leave here
| for Honolulu on the United States hagship
Charleston before the close Of the week.
The next regular passenger steamer for
Honolulu will not leave here until Jan.
| 81, and it is probable that the first intelli-
gence of the kings death which will be
received by the Hawaiian people will be
| when the Charleston arrives at Honolulu
with the remains OF the king aboard.
The flags on all the public buildings in
this city were placed ut half mast this after
noon, and the Hawaiian ensign is also at
half mast above the Palace hotel.
Kalakaua's successor will be his sister,
Princess Lelinokalani, who has been acting
as queen regent during Kalakaua s absence
from the islands.
King David Laamea Kalakaua was born Nov
16. 1886, in tho city OF Honolulu, the capital Of
| his domlnions. His horoscope was drawn by
the High Chiefess Liliha, an adept in Hawaiian
astrOJogy, who predicted that he would make
| his mark in the world, and that be would revive
| the power of his forefathers. The court soon
after his birth moved to Labaina. where Kala-
kaua spent. his infant years. From 1910 to
1849 he was placed under The tuition OF MI.
and Mrs. Cooke. at the Royal school, then late
| ly founded. Among his school mates were sew
| eral who afterward rose to distinction, among
them being Kings Kamehameha w. and Y. and
King Lunaio l. Subsequently he received in
'struction from Mr.. Watts and Mr.. +. G. Beck
with. and Lea rned the rudiments OF the military
art from Capt. Funk, an old Prussian soldier.
In after years the king translated the German
tactics into the native tongue for the use of his
people. In 1852 he received brevet rank
as captain the staff OF LehOGho,
the commander -ln-chief In 1853 he be-
gan the study of law. In 1856 he was
made q member of the privy council, and in
1858 called to the house Of mobiles. The king il
member of the Masonic fraternity, and re-
ceived the thirty-third degree from Gen. Pike Of
Virginia in 1874. In 1860 he visited Victoria.
b. C., and San Francisco with Prince Lot. Re-
turning, he became one OF the secretaries to the
department of the interior, and in 1868 was ap-
pointed postmaster general In 1865 he &C
cepted the position or chamberlain to Kame-
hameha ", and in 1867 was made q companion
of the order Of that king. 1850 he was adj
mitted to the bar, and ut the same time took 3
clerkship IN the land of6ce, which he held till his
accession. As chief OF the kings staff, he 70
ceived his royal highness this duke Of Edinburgh
when he visited thee island. It. will be seen that
King Kalakaua's career was not, at any rate,
that of an idle man. He was elected sovereign
on the 18th Of February, 1874, and his reign
was inaugurated on the following day. The
coronation did not, however, take place until
Feb. II, 1889. t5,Yc.

was useless after The Freeman had used
it. This was refused by Cooper. The
APPEAL then asked that The Freeman
have an original drawing made in pay
ment. To this Cooper assented, but in
week or so instead ofsending an original
as he agreed to, he sent an old chestnut,
advertising The Freeman which had
been published previously in that paper.
A month or two ago great ~ Negro
Cooper thought he'd like to know some
Of the inner workings of The APPEAL; he
wanted to get in on the ground floor as
it were and learn what we were doing.
First he wanted to know our prices for
cuts but instead of sending a request for
our sheet of illustrations, which would
have been cheerfully forwarded to him
he wrote under an assumed name, to get
| what could have obtained without any
subterfuge. The original letter in Coop
er's own handwriting is on file at this
office.
We have it on good authority that
while partner of Levi Christy in pub
fishing the World, that Cooper would
take the literary productions of others
and copy them in his own handwriting
in order to hoodwink Christy and make
him believe that he was great editor.

self an adept during the campaign last
fall, when in order to please the differ
ent parties from whom he had solicited
aid, he issued three editions of The
Freeman. The Republican issue came
out first with portraits of candidates and
hattering notices.
The next issue was as strongly Demo-
cratic. These two editions were circu-
lated in indianapolis only. Then came
the foreign edition which was independ-
ent. It was great scheme and only a
Great (?) Negro could have conceived it.
This controversy was started by Great
Negro (?) Cooper and we'll let him end

THE ENVIOUS EDITOR AGAIN.

THE ENVlOUS EDITOR AGAIN.
In the last issue of the Freeman, Great
~ Negro Cooper, prints long diatribe
against The APPEAL.
As in the previous article the envious
editor fights shy of the. truth.
The statement that the Holiday Edi-
ton of THE APPEAL did not contain one
page of original matter is absolutely
false. You should examine the paper
again, G. N. G.
The Freeman makes another false
statement when it says that The APPEAL
is patent sheet. Patent sheets bear the
trade mark of the Newspaper Uuion
which prints them. The APPEAL is set
up and made up by it's own employees.
Can The Freeman say as much?
The writer has before him as he writes
a sheet of the Christmas edition of The
Freeman, issued December 20, 1890, and
containing four columns of patent ads,
with the telltale inscription:

When My Day Comes.

Written expressly for THE APPEAL.
When my day comes from out the wheel
OF time-as the Sunsets golden glories fade
Or when at morn the nights hours steal
To hide in oblivion some changes made;
Shall on it look with wonderous eyes
AS best can-that Nature has but to give
Me this one day, that 1 in life shall prize
Above all Others while on earth live?
If it be thus; then let the Sun at noon
Shine brighter than before; 70 at that hour
l know that its light must fade too soon,
And part me from that rapturous power
That holds me sensitive to it's mortal thought
Twilight comes again, and with it, it's star
OF fruition to me that will then be wrought;

tween US.

The National Baptist has an admirable
editorial upon the so-called charitable
enterprises carried on among the Colored
people of the South. 1t contains many
good striking points, but unfortunately
omits others closely related to those
! mentioned, which are equally as good
and as striking. The article rightfully
asserts that the tendency of many of
these enterprises is to make the Colored
benefciarles paupers in feeling and in
fact, and thereby to ''inflict serious
and deadly injury" It justly insists
that what the Colored people are capable
of doing they ought to do for them
selves" It presents view of the situa-
ton by supposing meeting in some
Southern place, which adopts the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Resolved, First, that we will show to
the world what the Colored people can
do for themselves.
Resolved, Second, that We send an
agent to beg from our white brethren at
the North. ....
These resolutions being passed, they
proceed to secure the commentator of
the leading white persons in that neigh
borhood, all of whom. with an enthusi-
asm and unanimity that confer honor
upon human nature, recommend them
to come North and beg. All the minis
ters of the town of every denomination
testify to the vital, perishing need of
such an institution and to the excellence
of the location; and the County Clerk
always testi6es under the seal Of his
Office that these persons are residents of
the country; the Mayor and Governor
add their sign manual; and the solicitor
sets out upon his travels. No doubt he
enjoys his journey. He makes miser-
able the lives of many benevolent peo-
pie at the North, and deprives many Of
them of 500 worth of time and 81 in
money. Of this it is quite likely that
not five cents is left for the church after
the travelling expenses of the agent are
paid. All Of which is very true. But
per contra. In scores Of instances, good
white people. big churches, elders, bish-
ops and even cardinals become ddenly
impressed with q desire to do something
for the poor freedmen but they don't

Some of the Southern States are max.
ing great effort to attract immigrants, but
seem to be more successful in driving
away the people who are already there,

N U 51-91 INDPLIS

The sheet contains just three inches
more than one column of original mat
ter. This was gotten up for circulation
in Indianapolis only, and that is why the
other subscribers and exchanges have
not seen it. We have however obtained
copy and have it on exhibition at our
Chicago Office 3c5 Dearborn street.
The charge that THE APPEAL initiates
the Freeman is false. Our size, shape
and make up are entirely different. The
present proprietors of The APPEAL are
really the originators of illustrations in
Colored journalism. Old newspaper
men will remember that as far back as
1879 and 1880, while publishing THE
BULLETIN at Louisville, KY, which was
at that time the leading Colored journal,
they were the first to publish cuts of
prominent Afro-Americans. This was
years before Great (?) Negro Cooper had
entered the field of journalism.
The Freeman uses plate matter in
nearly every issue so why throw stones
at others by charging them with the
same ofense?
Great (?) Negro Cooper says that his
relations with Lee, Jenkins, etc., are in
the line of legitimate business. Ia it
legitimate business to get something and
not pay for it? The writer has seen two
kilograms which Cooper sent to Lee
stating that he had RENTED and asking
that the goods be released. Now as the
great (?) Negro had not RENTED, did not
remit and has not yet RENTED of what is
he guilty? This matter is now in the
hands of Messrs. Barnett & Williams Mr..
Lees attorneys and as the courts will be
called upon to decide the matter we'll
let it drop.
The Freeman acknowledges that it
clips from the various patent back"
papers and as ii is leading
paper it is not necessary to give
credit. That is journalism" says the
Envious Editor. Is it not unfair to use
so much matter from the "patent backs''
and yet continually cast slurs on them?
Some time last fall, Mr.. Lee, by mis-
take shipped cartoon belonging to
TaE APPEAL, to The freeman. About
an hour afterward he discovered his
mistake and wrote to the great (?) Negro
requesting that the cartoon be returned
The APPEAL also wrote letter to that
effect but The APPEAL's cartoon was pub
lished in The Freeman just the same.
The APPEAL then asked pay for it as it

Justice Field maintained that the mere

remove judge Of court created by the
United States, and that the constitution
did not contemplate that Judge should
be responsible to any one for his continu-
ance in Office. 1t seems to him that some
Of his brethren overlooked the character
of the judicial branch Of the government
when they made distinction against the
courts of the territories. These courts
had similar powers, and there was the
