DISSATISFACTION.

There is some dissatisfaction
among the colored democrats,
it must be admitted, an the BEE
is of the opinion that such disatis
faction is rather premature The
BEE has it from the best authori
ty that the President intends to
recognize such colored democrats
that will reflect credit on his ad
ministration.
His treatment of colored men
not democrats under his first ad
ministration is to be commend
ed, hence the colored democrats
ought not to be worried now
when at that time Mr.. Cleveland
had but little encouragement
from colored voters to give them
any great recognition, but at the
same time he demonstrated the
fact that he was friendly dispos
ed toward the race.
Several colored appointments
will be made shortly that will
surprise the country.

this machine when those little rolls are
placed in it. I use them to perpetuate
the small voices of my children. I

wrought its mysterious changes. and to
make comparisons between the voices
now and then. This idea may seem

POLITICAL ACROBATS.

1t is noticed among the names
of the colored democrats who
met a few days ago, those of Goe.
w, Stewart, Finley, of Soutn Car
olina, and G. A. Lemar, of this
city.
The BEE has no disposition to
critici cofored men who SUP
port the principles of the demo
cratic party and it has always
said that a colored man has lust
as much right to be a democrat
as a white man, but, it does OBJ
Ject to colored men who were re
publicans till the day of the de
feat of the republican party and
have sine declared themselves
to be democrats 10 office only.
There is one thing certain, that
MIR. Cleveland and the District
democrats cannot be fooled bv
these political acrobats and we
take this occasion to expose such
hypocracy.

THE -PRCTEcIQRATE ENDED.
The Hawaiian Flag Displacss the Stars ans
Strines at HopoIuIu

Information has been received from
Honolulu that Commissioner Blount ON
April l ordered the United States flag
to be hauled down in Hawaii and de-
clared the American protectorats at an
end. The dispatches also stated that
the forces from the United States cruiser
Boston were sent on board their ship and
that the Hawaiian flag now floats over
the capitol The act is reported to have
caused much CONSERVATION among the
American residents.
1t is understood that Commissioner
Blount gave as his reason therefor that
the Washington administration did not
regard the protectorate as necessary,
and, further, that it was incompatible
with any diplomatic negotiations that
might be arranged between the two
countries. The United States, however.
would brook no hostile interference in
Hawaiian affairs by any foreign power.
The provisional government somewhat
reluctantly acquiesced in the commits
sioners' decision.

A Washington despatch says that the
Peruvian Government has taken the ini-
tlatory steps toward complying with the
demands of the United States that rspara-
ton be made for the outrage committed
on one of its consular agencies in Peru.
The name of the consular agent at Mol
lendo who was attacked by the mob is
William R. Griffith. He was appointed
from Pennsylvania March 30, 1889. The
Peruvian Government has removed the
sub-prefect of Mollendo, and promises to
make suitable reparation for the outrage.

THE NEGRO IN POLITICS.

The negro In politics, as rule, Is
q failure. He has held the balance
of mower for several years in states
where his vote would have amount
ed to something, but, he has SHOWN
his ineapability to embrace the op>
portunities that have been offered
to him.
He has failed to assert his man
hood and point out the mistakes
that have been made by the 7 arty
that has always claimed to be his
friend.
There is just as much COW ardlce
on the part of the democratic ne
gro in the democratic party as there
is among republican negroes ln tue
republican party.
With but few exceptions, the
negro who has joined the demo-
cratic party has been actuated oy
motives personal to himself.
The negro i'm the democratic par
ty is in a position to do the race
some good II he VIII
What is the result? Since the
election of Mr.. Cleveland, every ne.
gro who claims to have supported
him, from back uoor politician 10
the men of letters, Is ciamorlng to'
office.
The BEE does not maintain that
this is the case with all who sup
ported the democratic nominees.
The BEE believes that there are a
few colored men who supported Mr.
Cleveland from pure aud eonscien'
tious motives, aud should they Lot
receive recognition they will not be
disappointed.
A uivlsion of the colored vote 10
the country is an absolute necessity
1t is believed by such division
where it can be done consistently,
it will tend to better the CONDITION,
politically of the colored voter.
