SUFFRAGE IN THE DISTRICT

The people of this city number
over 200, 900 and they are not al
lowed a voice in the affairs of this
government save in an indirect
manner. No other state, city, or
country would tolerate this dis
franchisement.
The people are now dissatisfied
and it will not be long from present
outlook before the right Of suffrage
is restored to the people,
The people, irrespective of party
or color should call large mass
meeting in Convention Hall and
select men of both parties to speak.
Let there be unanimous senti-
ment in this direction. The people
demand the right of suffrage and
there is no reason why it should not
be given. DIR. Reyburn, the chair
man of the suffrage association is
working hard.
There should be two delegates
sent from this city to the next con-
vention, who favor the right of suf-
frape men of inf1uence and intelli-
gence.
The BEE intends to take an &C
tive part in the selection of these
delegates and do all in its power to
see that the proper men are elected.
We must throw away sentiment
and work with a will and do what
is necessary to bring this district
out of the hands of the phillistines.

The BEE has been of the opinion
that Detective Proctor would be ex-
onerated, and the onslaught that
the entire press made upon him is
the best evidence in the world that
the Commissioners are satisfied that
he was doing his duty. The Star
and the BEE were the only papers
that said Mr.. Proctor was justified.

Hon. B. K. Bruce is not un-
friendly to Prof. Gregory and when
the board of trustees of Howard
University holds its meeting the
enemies of Mr.. Bruce will find out
that he is more of a race man than
those who pretend to be so much
interested in Prof. Gregory.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY.

If there is not some action taken
by the colored people, Howard Uni
verslty that was set apart for the
colored youth, will be taken away
from the race.
There is every desire on the part
of the white officials Of that insti-
tuition to monopolize it by the
white professors. Their next step
will be to weed out the colored pu-
pills and place white ones there.
The recent action of the execu-
tive board to appoint two white
teachers was only frustrated by the
timely expose the BEE made. Not
being able to appoint two addi-
tional white teachers, although the
president said that he needed funds
to pay off an indebtedness. This
same committee a few days ago ap-
pointed a colored teacher.
Before the colored teacher was
appointed he was compelled to make
promise to the president that he
would be loyal to the president. If
this promise was exacted from this
new appointee he should hand in
his resignation at once.
1t would have been more manly
for the young professor to have
said that he would be loyal to the
pupils that he was called upon to
instruct.
Why should such a promise be
exacted from a. a.colored teacher?
Is the president in such delema
that he now demands that newly
appointed teacher must be loyal to
him?
Is there so much treachery in the
institution that teachers as we'll as
pupils must take oath of allegiance
The time has come now for the col
ored people to act.
The press throughout the country
is unanimous in it's condemnation
in the Gregory case.
Every colored trustee on the
board of Howard's University
should see that no injustice is done
to the interest of the negro.
No negro trustee should have it
to 60 over the country that he is
supporting an official in any act that
is detrimental to the interest of any
negro. The people will watch the
proceedings of the next board meet
ing in the Gregory case. They will
WANT 10 KNOW Whether the personal
animosity of man should lead him
| to have man dismissed. Now is
the time for the colored trustees to
act and those honorable white men
who are on the board to look after
the welfare of the colored youth,
No explanation can be given that
will convince the people why the
meeting of the board of trustees
was delayed until November.
Colored men act, and at once.
The people will expect something
to be done.

The police court should have &C.
commodation for witnesses and 9TH
er persons who are compelled to be at
the court. Ladies, gentlemen, chill
dren and prisoners who are called to
the court have no toilets to accom-

ought to take this in hand.
