THE NEGRO PRESS.

A feeling of sympathy is expressed
by the negro press of this country for
the editor of the BEE There may
be one or two editors who are no
doubt elated over the imprisonment
of the editor, but that bad feeling
only comes from men who have
felt the sting of the Bee either
through its columns or at one of the
associations meetings. The putatiye
editor of the Star of Zion is about
the only one who has shown his ami
mus to any extent, and his reason for
that is the lashing the Bee gave him
at the late Chicago convention during
the worlds fair.
There is one thing that some negro
editors must learn, and that is the art
of journalism. Some of them are
more sentimental than they are honest.
A conviction of libel is no crime.
Some of our ablest journalists have
been prosecuted for libel.
We thank the knights Of the quill
for their sympathy and appreciation,
and hope to meet you all at the next
meeting Of the association.

and fundamental principles Of its
constitution ia that the liberty of
the press shall not be abridged.
While that is true the press
should not malicious1y libel a good
citizen.
The charge to the jury by the
court was in conformity with the
principle of law and the emphasis
and repetition of the courts charge
left nothing upon which the defense
could expect a verdict.
The facts in the other libel suit
were different from the recent one.
Judge Macarthur in his charge
to the jury said "If there Is any
thing in the case at all, gentlemen
of the jury, it is that the prosecu-
ton lacks moral viItue," or words
to that eff. ct.
So all judges in cause for libel
do not instruct jury alike. No
matter what the opinion of jury
is the instructions of the court will
carry great weight.

SPRING TAILOR GOWNS.

Tailor gowns prepared for southern
and transcontinental trips are Of light
weight mixed cloths in great variety.
Tweeds, cheviots, and boucle fabrics,
rather coarsely woven, and in quaint
mixtures-dots. dashes, and indistinct
checks-showing a good deal Of black
and white with brown or green, are the
materials most used.
The suits are in two or three pieces
that is, skirt and coat, or skirt, coat,
and waistcoat Skirts differ in no re-
spect from those in vogue during the
winter. Though there is considerable
variety in cut, the effect achieved is the
same in ala close, trim appearance in
front and on the sides, fitting perfectly
around the hips, flaring at the bottom,
with the fullness in the back held in
two or three plaits, very narrow at the
waist line and broadening out below.
Bright, changeable taffetas are the
first choice for Innings; thus a mixed
cheviot of black, white, and green is
lined with green-and-r taffeta a tan
colored covert-cloth, with old-rose tat
feta; brown, biue-shot tweed, with
bhAet, etc. Black serges and crep0ns are
also lined with these bright, fancy silks,
which are now so inexpensive that the
fashion is not so exit lavagant as former
ly. Ihe binding should be of velveteen,
and it is better to buy the piece goods
and cut it at least two inches wide on
the bias. 1t may form cord on the
bottom filled with candlewicking-a
much more pliable and graceful stiff
ener" than rattans or Wires-and should
always be left to show like piping be
low the gown fabric; otherwise it af-
fords no protection.
Waistcoats are both grave and gay,
matching and contrasting. Those of
rich black moire and brocaded satin find
a distinct place, and are in much favor
with fastidious women who shun any,
thing conpicuous; but novelty seekers
admire bright red waistcoat with green
or blue cloth, and chamois-color with
gray or black; and there are many hand
some waistcoat cloths of silk and wool
in brocaded matelasse effects that con-
trast or harmoniZe with the gown.
Coats are double or single breasted, CIV
ing only glimpse of the linen or cam
brio chemisette at the throat, or are cut
away to disclose Waistcoat, and fasten
with one or three buttons. The skirts
are usually cut on, and have easy fullness,
but not the umbrella flutes of last season.
There is great variety in length. Every
woman will look most chac in that which
is most becoming.--Frona "Reuieap of
Fashions" IN Demorest's Magazine for

TO PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRANTS.

If it is true that Gov Mckinley IS
managers are trying to shut the negro
out Of the Republican party, they had
as we'll give up the job as hopeless. The
Southern Republican party can't shake
the negro, on the same principle that
the tail can't shake the dog.--Savannah
News.
The defeat of several candidates for
nomination, of both parties, who sought
to pander to the prejudices Of certain
elements in their parties and ignore the
interests of the great voting element,
ought to open the eyes of certain men
who would be statesmen were it not for
their shorI-sightedness. The sugar
planters interests were well taken care
of by the Republican party when in
power, in gratitude for which they
voted solidly with the democratic party
in 1894 and against their own interests.
The lily-white republican element of
the South, it seems, cannot forget the
lost cause. They cannot affiliate with
the republican party if the negro must
be recognized. They cannot bear to
have the hated negro rise to any impor-
tance in the body polite. Any candi-
date for any office deserves to be and
ought to be defeated who Will prostitute
his abilities and pander to an element
who is so hide-bound in prejudice that
it cannot overcome it sufficiently for
self-interest Republican candidates,
take warning! republican president
will be elected without the negro vote.
