taken toward carrying out this PLAN but it is

The increase in the number Of clubs in this
city and their prosperity has been marked of
late years The oldest club, the METROPOLITAN.
occupies a handsome home of its own a. the
corner OF 18th and II streets. The Cosmos Club
iseomfortably housed in the residence on I.afay-
cite Square which was famous in former years as
the home OF Mrs. Madison and is now the prom
erty Of the club. Another prosperous club is
the University. This club now occupies
rented house on street between 18th and 18th
streets, but movement has been started to
buy site and erect q fine building. The
United Service Club is now building a club
house at the corner Of Connecticut avenue and
street which will be one Of the most complete
as well as the most elegant club houses for the
size that can be found in any CITY.
The home of the Columbia Athletic
Club on g street above 18th street. which vas
designed especially for the use of the club. is
conceded TO be one of the best buildings Of the
kind In the country. The Union Club has
handsome and ccmmodious home at the corner
OF l4th and h streets, while the Capital Bicvcle
Club owns and occupies its own club hoi,se
which is located on 18th street below AIbaugh's
tive building. Although the Press Club has
only Just started il has desirable quarters on
Pennsyivsniz avenue just east Of i4th street,
and while still In Its infancy the new organiza-
soA has given cNlutnCc OF q prosperity that
attests the need which existed for a club Of
this character. A ladies' club has lust been
started and from present indications il will not

SOMETHING ABOUT PRIVATE STABLES.
Property owners. especially in the handsome
resident sections of the city, are frequently an
noyed by the erection OF stables in close p-ox-
unity to their houses. With the utmost care ON
the part Of the owners Of the stables they are
almost invariably more or less Of a nuisance
In great many instances, however the owners
do not maintain q very close supervision over
this part of their establishments and the re sui,

THE IMPUDENT FORTUNE

T. Thomas Fortune of New
York is in the city. He called
on Minister Douglass to ascertain
when he was gong to resign the
Haytian mission, but, the old man
eloquent did not give him any
satisfaction Hon. Geo. F. Down
ing was also in the city this week
to interview Mr.. Douglass for the
New York Wo' Id. Mr.. Downing
is a Cleveland Democrat and in
speaking to BEE representative,
he asked among other things If
Fortunes, petition for the Haytian
mission, had been seen. He
thought Fortune was rather i'm
pudent and cheeky, as Negro
democat to apply for the Haytian
mission.
The BEE is of the opinion,
although Fortune is Negro dem
ocrat, that the man is too small.
Fortune imagines that he is a
greater man han what be is. He
will no doubt return to New York
a wiser man. Among the many
representative men from whom
the President can select, are Prof.
Gregory, R. S. Smith, J. 9. Price
and others.

GRAND ARMY ENCAMPMENT.

Our readers are aware that a big
effort is being made in this city by
certain leaders in the Grand Army
of the Republic and a number of
resident merchants, tradesmen,
hotel and saloon keepers to have
the next encampment here August
1892. This paper from this day
forward will use whatever influence
it may be able to bring to bear to
defeat this proposition. Why
should the comrades of the Grand
Army want 20 go to any city where
one portion of their number, ''the
faithful allies" the colored soldles
and sailors, will receive insults and
treatment akin to that the
northern white teachers received
when they went South back in the
COS?
What hotel, what saloon, what
restaurant in this city would &C.
commodate the colored Veteran
No, never bring the old Veteran
here, as long as this bitter race
hatred and prescription prevail,
and in this connection it is our lot

MINISTER DOUGLASS.

The New York Sun of July 7th,
published some serious charges
against Mr.. Douglass private sec
retary, Hon. E. D. Bassett, which
will be seen in another column oil
this paper. The Sun attempts to
hold Mr.. Douglass and his private
secretary responsible for the re-
cent revolution in Haytl. The
BEE would like to ask the San
who was responsible for the revo-
luton in Hayti before Mr.. Doug
lass was appointed minister to
that republic? Mr. Douglass is no
more responsible for what the
Haytians may do than Hon. Rob-
ert Lincoln, is responsible for
what the English may do.
The BEE could justly say, if the
argument of the San is correct,
that every United States minister
is responsible for everything that
may be done in the country in
which the United States is repre-
sented, So far as MIR. Douglass is
concerned, he has made as good a
representative abroad as any white
man who has represented the
United States. The Hay ians,
like other nationalities, demand
fair treatment.

Whenever the editor OF the BEE
becomes any mans tool or set mp
any man as an idol that moment he
will cease publishing the BEE. The
BEE generally defends those who
upholds its editor and his friends,
and when the editor and his friends
are turned down for their enemies
who are kept in positions Of power
and trust to the detriment of all
good citizens and decent people,
the BEE deems il best to allow his
So-calIed idols to obtain their sup
port from those who have heretofore
held them up to public ridicule and
disgrace.

the idea of bringing the next en-

this communication of the 5th

YOU ARE RIGHT.

We regret TO see among some of our color
ed newspapers a disposition 10 sneer at Ger
tain public men because they have beer
honOred with an office. The Afro American
journal, of Terre Haute, is one of these. II
seeks by insinuatiOn to question the SINGER
iiy of Hon. John X. Lynch because he advis
es cOlOred voters to stick TO the Republican
party and those of their own race who have
proven themselves worthy. Mr.. Lynch is
right in his advice. Colored men have moth
ing 10 gain bv deserting the Republican par
Jy, but everything 10 lose Evansville Graph
Any man who supports the
Democratic party is insane. Fourth
Auditor Lynch is right when he
said that the Negro should sup
port the Republican patty. There
ls more prejudice in the Demo-
cratic party against the Negro than
in any party in existance.
Auditor Lynch is one OF
the most level headed men IN this
country. When he opens his
mouth he knows what he is talk
ing about.

One thing that can be said

Mr.. Lyncf's advice to the colored
voters of this country is timely

party offered to the Negro? What
can the Negro expect from that
party. The BEE will admit if such

without fear of having misstated
the case, that race hatred aud pro-
scriptlon is fostered by leading
Grand Army men, their wives,
their children, in official life, grand

there is not the least suspicion.


Some people are of the opinion
unless one Is an Office clerk, school
teacher or has some ether official
designation he is not worth nOtic-
ing. That is mistaken idea.
Work is honorable no matter In
what capacity it is. 1t is more
honorable to be your own boss than
it is to be subjected to the string
ent laws of others. | have just as
much respect for the common Ia
borer as | have for the most dlgnl-
fed prince. There Is as much honor
among the working girls as there is
among the queens, who are dressed
in silks and their necks decorated
with gold and diamonds. / have
known queens and princes to be-
come jealous of the peasant girl
| have known kings to seize slaves
and claim them as their property.
1t is not always, therefore, that we
can find the most honor among the
best dressed or the most wealthy.
Indeed, / have known many a
working girl to toll day after day,
and night after night to maintain
her honor.
Some people have an idea that
society is a dangerous institution.
Anything is dangerous if it is abus-
ed or carried to excess. Moral
people cannot afford to invite the
immoral to be with them. There
must be a distinction. A we'll reg
ulated society tends to reform q
community. Without this distinc-
tion the world would be of bar
bariOus character; the pro6lgate
would control and the community
would become so corrupt that
decent people would be in danger.

There should be more protection
afforded our young girls. / agree
with Judge Miller, to the extent
that there should be a law enacted
to protect females against the inf
deity of males. There is a law to
protect females under age, which is
very good, but, there should be a
law passed to protect all females
