One Spoon Enough.

A Boston man travelling through the
south was obliged to stop over in a
small town where there was but one
hotel, at which the accommodations
were hardly to be called elaborate. When
the colored waiter brought his dinner,
the Boston man found that he was to
have roast beef, stewed tomatoes, corn,
peas, potatoes and coffee, the vegetables
served in the usual stone china canoes.
Presently he said to the waiter, "Dick,
pass the spoons" The waiter rolled his
eyes in genuine amazement. Spoons,
sab! What yo' want with the spoons?
There's yo' spoon in yo' corn. San

SENATOR BRUCE'S ASSUR.
ANCE.

The press dispatches from Can.
ton, Ohio in speaking of Ex-Sena.
tor Bruce's visit to Major VIM
Mckinley, Jr., among other things
Mr.. Bruce informed Major McKin-
ley that the colored voters through
out the country would support
him. Senator Bruce is a far-seeinp
and an astute politician, but The
BEE is Of the opinion that the col
ored republicans throughout this
country are not satisfied with the
manner in which they are being
ignored, and if something is not
done at once there will not be
enough colored voters left in the
republican rarity to say that they
ever belonged to that party.
1t may be that the republican
managers don't want the coIored
vote any more than the democratic
managers. Thus far we have seen
no overtures made to secure the
colored vote, but, we do see every
effort made to concentrate the white
vote from all parties and organiza-
tions. .
German documents are being
sent out, Dutch, the French, and
other kind of documents, and an
effort will be made to subsid re the |
Italian Press, and every other kind |
u press except the Afro-American
oress.

that the managers will control all
the Afro American papers in this
country.
They have issued a circular
letter, and on the letter is printed
two names, as officers, to-wit Mr..
Blank manager and Blank secre-
tary and treasurer:
1t is bogus organization to fool
the Mckinley and Bryan man
ayers. 1t is scheme to fool cer-
tain Negro editors and blind ex-of-
flee holders who will be looking for
fat job if Major Mckinley is
elected.
Washington is famous for dead
beats and crafty money sharks.

WANTED?

This is the question for Afro.
Americans to discuss when the edit.
or Of this paper publishes the re-
ply of Major Mckinley, in reply to
his letter of July 18th. and received
a few days ago.
There will be no middle grounds
for the Afro-American to take. He
must show his manhood or say that
he is still the serf and slave.
We have received Major McKin-
ley's reply to our letter, and it is a

EX-SENATOR BRUCE ASSURES HIM TT

| EX-SENATOR BRUCE ASSURES HIM 1T IS
! CANTON, O.. Aug. 3.-Ex-Senator
, b. X. Bruce, of Mississippi, was one Of
the callers on Major Mckinley TODAY.
He is familiar with the political stua-
ton throughout the South and thinks
Major Mckinley will carry Virginia,
West Virginia, Maryland, North, Caro-
lima and Kentucky, said he:
" 1t will be found that the Demo-
cratic politician in the Southern States
has until recently been able to keep the
South solid, Hereafter the progress
slve elements of the South will take
such action as will advance the mater
lal prosperity of that section. They
want protective tariff that will build
up that section that will invite the
manufacturers, and do for the States
what 1t has done for the great North,
East and West. They look upon
Major Mckinley as the apostle of pro-
lection.
They also want sound money in
stead of deprecated silver dollars and
they regard Major Mckinley as the
embodiment of that idea also. The
colored voters of the country, both
North and South, are enthusiastically
supporting Major Mckinley. They
know him to be their friend. There
has not been single issue touching
the rights ofthe colored people for the
last quarter of a century in which he
has not shown his interest in their
behalf"
There is ample reason for the belief
that Mr.. Bruce, himself a representa-
tive colored man, has not overestima-
ted the interest of his race in Major |
Mckinley. A mass of correspondence |
from the Southern and Middle States, |
which has been received in Canton |
since the St. Louis convention, indi-
Gates with clearness that the coIored |
voters are disposed to be loyal sup
oorters Of the Republican ticket.

CHAIRMAN HANNA SET DOWN
ON COL. PERRY CARSON OF
WASHINGTON, D. c.

From the Coored Enterprise
Col. Perry Carson, Washington. D
c., who has been a member Of the ma.
tional executive committee for quite
awhile, has been relieved of his hon
orary position, and ask to assume an
humble position among the humble
politicians Of his vicinity. This set
ting down was the work of Mr.. Hanna.
the Chairman of the National Repub-
llcan Committee. His reasons for set
ting Mr.. Carson upon a common level
was that he opposed the nomination of
Mckinley. Whether Mr.. Hanna acted
with discretion in this matter, we could
not say. We are personally acquainted
with Mr.. Carson, and say that he is a
man of thought and natural ability.
1t is true, he is an uneduCated gentle
man-really unable to do his own
reading and writing with accuracy so
as to be creditably understood.
Mr.. Hanna did not remove Mr..
Carson from the committee. The
two district delegates could not
agree. Mr.. Carson had been on the
committee for IL years, and he
wanted it for II more years, but,
Mr.. Gleason could not be infuenc |
ed to agree to that, but would agree !
to select any one else named by Mr..
Carson, bit he would not agree
OH Mr.. Carson, hence the Execu-
tive Committee had the power to
appoint. and through Senator Proc
tor, of Vermont, Mr.. NJ. NJ.
Parker of this city, was appointed.
Mr.. Carson had nothing whatever
20 do with the appointment of Mr..
'arker, at st. Louis, where Mr..
Parker filed the petition to take
way district representation. Mr.. 6
larson was the man to denounce i
i'm, and before the appointment
Vas made Mr.. Carson said that he
id not want Mr.. Parker to serve !,

America, which philanthropic actor
has made the name and person of c
c. Moreno, the Italian patriot, highly
respected and beloved by the Ameri
can people, irrespective Of classes
races, colors and religions. He, fol
over three decades, has been highly
esteemed by the most prominent mer
IN America, such as Presidents Johnson

Bayard, Gray, Morgan, Sherman,
Rosecrans, Foster, Reed, Greeley,

ers, and enjoyed the warm friendship
of all.
He IS the most prominent and inhu-
entail Italian in America He is a man
OF vast and classic erudition of iron
will, tenacity, energy and audacity,
without fear and without reproach and
always in the front rank for action with
generous heart toward the feeble,
unprotected and defenseless as they
are the unfortunate Italian slaves Of
both sexes and of all ages on this vast
continent OF America. Italy is badly
governed at home and worse repre-.
sented abroad.
Italy needs noble, able, patriotic,
fearless, energetic, prompt and a su-
perior man of the world for her ambas-
Sador in America in order to DESTROY
the many evils which torment the Ital-
ians in America, to punish the numerous
evil -doers, to promote a better order
of things, and to restore the former
prestige to the glorious Italian name
on this side of the Atlantic. We know
no other man better fitted for such a
difficult task than c. c. Moreno. He
stands to-day the equal of any man |
and the superior of many,
If there ever was a true, honest and |
Upright man. it is this Italian-American,
He has more influence with the Ital.
ans and Americans in this country

LEAVES THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY.
A CoLORED REPUBLICAN EDITOR GOES
OVER TO BRYAN.


OVER TO BRYAN.
James H. Young, Editor of the
Raleigh Gazette, published in N. c.,
one of the most brilliant colored Re-
publican representatives in the South,
has left the Republican party and gone
over to the Democratic party. The
Gazette has been one of the leading
Republican organs in the State.
The colored Enterprise reports an
interview with ex-Mayor H. S. Haw-
kins, who is reported to have said that
it would be a good thing if all the
negroes went to the Democratic
party as more white men would Join
the Republican party.
THE BEE would suggest that Mr..
Bruce inform Mr.. Mckinley in his next
that he made a mistake
about all the negroes are satisfied.
Mr.. Bruce as well as Mr.. Mckinley
will find out, that they are both mis-
taken. '

We have already consented to a
harsh a method of death for him
as he inflicted upon the girl f; so tn,
reader will see that this is not tht
line of argument presented.
Its not to revoke eternity's claim
in her case, not to tame the charac-
ter Of human wrath in his but
our purpose is, to suggest a method
that will preclude the necessity
of warning.
lst. We do not deal with these
cases of recent brutal murders, as
against Afro-Americans, on terms
of social evil with the whites, as
white girls and woman have lived
with Afro Americans for more than
three hundred years but we dis
cuss the crime on general princi-
piles.
Nor are we trying to keep races
separate, that have a mixture of
affinity that has existed through
compulsory amalgamation since
1884.
We can not make distinct sepa-
ration of what is natural mixture
but can suggest method of con-
slstency that will be preventative
OF death for all coming times.
The righteous manner with which
the dailies have dealt with these
crimes is silently expressive of the
same conviction which actuate our
expressions openly.
Therefore, let the girls profit by
this borrowed expression that thew
'can fool some of the people all The
the time, all of the people some
time, but can never fool al the peo-
pie all the time
Let them too, remember, that
Afro-American men kill Afro
American girls, and white men kill
white girls for the same reason.
Now, that the races are already mix
ed, and compilations have nothing ,,
to do with the character of crimes
we must expect that Afro-Ameri- =
