dred of cases of young men who are
qualified to do anything a white
man can do, but, great Ceasar who
will employ them?
Our thirty or more years of
emancipation have demonstrated to
the boasting Causcasian that the
negro only wants chance to show
his skill. The race must combat
the opposition of just su"h trash
talk that is daily pouring from the
mouths of negro apologists like Mr..
Booker T. Washington. "The
fault dear Brutus is not in our
stars, but in ourselves that we are
underlings."

SPEAKER REED.

One of the most positive and no
doubt one of the safest leaders in
the republican party to-day is Hon.
Thomas B. Reed, Speaker of the
House of Representatives.
1t has been said that Mr.. Reed
is needed just where he is, but, The
BEE is of the opinion that Mr..
Reed is the best man for the ne
groes of this country and indeed
for the whole people.
You always know where to find
him and to-day there are more COL
ored men appointed at the Capitol
than ever before and if Mr.. Reed
hould be made President of the
United States the American people
can be assured that they will be
protected against foreign or domes-
tic invasions.
There are men who are aspiring
for the Presidency who have no en-
emies, and have offended no one
since their advent in public life.
Such men are not only dangerous
to the party but dangerous to the
country.
The negroes don't want to make
any mistake in casting their votes
at the st. Louis Convention.

MR.. MANLEY SAYS 1T WILL GROW FROM

Mr.. Joseph Manley, National Com
mi teeman from Maine, yesterday
mailed the following letter, giving his
views of the contest thus far, for the
Republican nomination:
WASHINGTON, D. c.,
March "a, 1896.
Hon. Henry B. Gleaves, Gov. of Maine.
My DEAR GOVERNOR: Including
elections held to-day, there have been
375 delegates elected to the National
Republican Convention. There are 36
contested cases, which are not given
to any candidate, because it is unfair
to assume how these cases will be de-
cfded, either by the National Commit
tee or the Convention. Ofthe 375 dele
gates, I54 are for Mckinley, provided
you concede to him the 26 from In
diana and IS from Minnesota; sixty
four delegates have been elected for
Gov. Morton; nineteen for Senator
Quay; ten for Senator Cullom; forty
four for Senator Allison, and 4S for Mr..
Reed.
Mr.. Reed from now until the Con-
vention will steadily increase.
am, sincerely yours,

THE APOLOGIST.

The great question which is agltat
ing the minds of the more intelll
gent negro of this country is
whether there will be an increase o.
negro apologists. The most proml
nent among these apologists is Mr.
Booker L. Washington of Tuske.
gee, Ala, who has suddenly sprung
into prominence by virture OF an
apology made at the recent Atlanta
Exposition, for the short comings
of the negro and by v!rture OF the
wrongs committed upon the entire
race or those who suffered the most
during slavery and subsequent to re-
construction.
1t is a no orious fact, that the ut
terances of Mr.. Washington are moth
ing more than to make himself rich
by assuring the white people OF this
country that the negroes place is in
the machine shop, at the plow, in
the wash-tub and not in the schools
of the legal and medical professions !;
that he has no business to aspire to
those places as they are reserved for
the proud Caucasian.
He tells them that he will go
from city to city and State to State
and expose his weaknesses and de-
nounce his virtures. He tells the
white people to do this he must
have money; he must maintain his
Tuskegee School and himself. So
far as the masses of the negroes are
concerned he informs the white
people that they must be made to
know their places.
The BEE wants to state that the
people repudiate such hypocrisy on
the part Of Mr.. Washington and
that his speeches are nothing more
than apologists conceived within
a brain that was one enslaved and
has partaking of its disease.
The apologists' address before the
Bethel Literary Society Tuesday
evening March 18th, was nothing
more than citation of isolated mis-
fortunes of few poor negroes who
had not money enough to purchase
the improved machinery.
He forgets that, Notwithstanding
the fact that young colored men
who are well qualified in mechani-
cal arts are not allowed to work in
places where white men are en-
ployed.
The great printing houses in this
country, and indeed we can cite
cases in this city, where competent
colored printers are prohibited from
entering although they belong to
the Printers Union.
This talk, to which the intelli-
gent negro listened at the Bethel
Literary by this apologist, demon
strated the ignorance of this South
ern apologist as to the real qualifi-
cations of a great number of COL
Ored men who are willing and
ready to show their mechanical
skill. The public schools of this
city offer to young colored boys
every opportunity to learn the
higher and improved branches of in
dustrial trades.
Our carpenter shop under the
tutorShip of Prof. Hill, and Mr..
Forester turn out every year
young boys who are up to date in
that branch of industrial art.
Prof. j. D. Baltimore who has
charge of our machine shop, and
no better or more qualified teacher
exists than he; turns out yearly
young colored boys in all branches
of Civil Engineering.
The young boys cannot only run
Itsam-engines but they can make
all kinds of boilers and engines and
,an put them together.

= Lord Salisbury's speech at the
Lord Mayors banquet contained the first
authorits tive announcement of the prao-
tical settlements of the Venezuelan ques-
tion, in manner satisfactory both
to England and the United States just
how 1T has been settled is not ute clear,
but it seems evident that both England
and the United States have made some
concessions. The British apparently &C.
cept arbitration as to SO much Of the
territory as has not been occupied by
English settlers for certain length of
time, while the United States agrees
that this part may be accepted. Probably
this settlement will not be entirely salts
factory to Venezuela who wanted the
whole territory submitted to bitra-
ton, but it is a settlement much more
favorable than she would have been able
to secure without our Intervention. Lord
SaIisbury's remarks on the Turkish
question were vague and failed to show
that any solution which all the powers
we're wiling to agree to had been arrived
at. He hoped the Porte would take warn
ing from the French premisr's speech and
carry out the promised reforms, but he
did not speak as If he confidently expect
ed any such result.

1t is a fact that since 1875 no candidate

1t is fact that since 1875 no candidate
for the Presidency has received popular
majority until this year. In 1880 Gar
field had plurality over Hancock OF
10, 600, but the combined greenback and
prohibition vote that year was 3lS, 600 SO
that he lacked more than 300, 600 OF
majority. In 1884 Cleveland had plur-
atty over Blaine of 90, 600 but the green
back and prohibition vote that year was
over 5000 In 1888 Harrison lacked
plurality even by 90. 900, and was 400, 0Oo
short of majority. Four years later
though Cleveland plurality over Harri-
son was over $40, 600 he lacked nearly a
m illion of a majority. Mckinley, how
ever, will have clear majority of al
mo a million over all candidates. These
facts show the sweeping character of the
sound money victory. There was never
anything like it in the history of the
country before.

Mr.. Bryan cannot be Senator from
Washington while he remains an inhabi-
tant of Nebraska. because the constitu-
ton of the United States provides that
mo person shall be Senator who shall
not, when elected, be an inhabitant of
the state from which he shall be chosen. :"
If Mr.. Bryan wants to represent Wash
inaton in the Senate he must be an
inhabitant of that ktate at the time he
is elected. He cannot remain in Nebraska
and be eleetedsin Washington. Of course
tine difficulty about residence could be
easily removed, but there are other
difficulties not 50 easy to get rid of-the
chief of which is the ambition Of half q
dozen or more citizens of Washington to
gather In the seat for themselves. All
the free silver factions in Washington
will treat Mr.. Bryan with distinguished
consideration SO long as he remains in
Nebraska, but If he should enter their
state and attempt to run for the Senate
he would be likely to be regarded as a
common enemy against whom all ofIthen,
would unite.

Cabinet rumors are thick enough, but
none of them seem to be anything more
than guesses more or less plausible. 1t
is said that Mckinley will not name
New York man for Secretary of the
Treasury because of ssthe feeling in the
West against Wall street, and this makes
Cornelius N. Bliss an impossibility.
John NJ Thurston of Nebraska who was
looked upon during the campaign as a
promising cabinet candidate no longer
has any chance, because his retirement
from the Senate would create a vacancy
that would be filed by Populist, mas
mnch as the legislature of Nebraska will
be controlled by that party. Sherman
is cut OF the question for Secretary of
the Treasury because his appointment
would revive the Foraker-Sherman war
in Ohio. Chauncey Depew Of New York
is believed to stand a good chance for
the State portfolio, AID it is limited that

Congressman Dingley believes it will
be impossi BILE to pass his bill in the Sen
ate this winter, and of course his opinion
is entitled to great weight. Never
theless 1t is to be hoped that the
attempt will be made. If an extra ses-
sion of Congress can be avoided we be-
lieve it will be well both for the Repub-
lican party and the country. What busl-
ness needs more than anything else now
is a period of quiet. Doubtless there are
many things in the present tariff law
that need changing. Yet it may appear
when it is tested under favorable busi-
ness conditions that it needs less tinker
ing than 1t now seems to. A revision
of the tariff under any circumstances is
long and perilous task, but 1t will be
lightened good deal and many of the
dangers avoided II we have experience to
guide us and do not have to rely too
largely upon theory. The Kepub lican
experience that followed the tariff law
of 1890 shows how easy 1t Ia to predicate
too much upon the verdict of the people
III q pOpulot oloopiods ~ oPPonASN SAS~>
that by their vote in 1858 the people had
commissioned the Republicans to revise
the tariff along the lines of high protec-
| tion, but obedience to what seemed to be
the peoples mandate swept Republican
house out of power in 1890 and lost them
tho Presidency in 1899. In the recent cleo
| tion it is clear enough that the money
question was the prominent one, and
that the verdict of the people was pro-
nounced OH that question rather than
upon the tariff. 1t behooves the Repub-
lioans. therefore, to proceed with great
caution in any revision Of the tariff they
may undertake. So much of the present
tariff as gives undue privileges and pro
lection to monopolies-and there is much
in it that does Ought to be rescinde5
at the earliest possible moment, but
there is great danger that while tearing
down some monopolies the Repu bill
cans may set up others just as hateful
unless they turn a deaf ear to goo6
deal of the influence with which they
will be surrounded. The inter ests tha
were potent in securing Mckinley
nomination were not all unself1sh, ani
it will be something new in politica
history if some of them are not early Oh
hand demanding their reward.

CURRENT COMMENT.
NEW HAMPsHIRE'S RECORD.
concord Monitor.)

When the Republicans of other states
boast of their large pluralities in this
election and their great gains over pre-
yious elections, they ought not to ignore
New Hampshire. Blk years ago, the plu-
rality for Governor futile was but 80
votes. The plurality for Mckinley is
nearly IS, 000 out Of a total vote Of so. 600.
The Repu blican plurality of New Hamp-
shire In presidential years has been
generally from three to five thousand,
but when that plurality is equal to ~
the total opposition vote, it is something
phenomenal When the total vote of til 9
state is taken into consideration and the
small plurality the Republicans have had
in previous campaigns, 1t will be found
that New Hampshire is at the head of
the Republican column in the percentage
of Republican gain and in the compare
tive majority given to the Mckinley cleo
tors. All honor to New Hampshire.
