GIVE US CREDIT.

The Omaha Nebraska Progress
reproduced two editorials from
The BEE in its issue of July 25,
to wit: One, CT. Thomas For
tune and the other Cannot Agree" "
Our contemporary must have ap,
preciated the articles to have repro
duced them. The BEE never gets
jealous when you give it credit for
its honey it cares not how much
is stolen.
:" He who steals my purse steals
trash," but he who steals honey
from The BEE and pronounces it
good, and gives no credit to the
makers, robs from them honor and
integrity.

WHERE DO WE STAND p?

Elsewhere in this paper will be
seen two letters written by the Editor
and sent to the nominees of the two
political parties, Major Mckinley
and MIR. Bryan. Up to date moth
ing has been said in the interest of
Afro-Americans nor have any been
placed upon the advisory COM
mittee of either party. Before an
Afro-American casts his vote for
either candidate he wants to know
where he stands. If he is no5
wanted, now is the time for the can
dldates to say so. We are tired Of
eating bone when there is meat u
plenty. The time has come in the
history of this country for Afro
Americans to exercise the right of
citizenship.
We are of the opinion that
neither party can afford to do away
with the Afro-American vote. He
is gradually retiring to private life
and if he fails to embrace the op-
portunities before him it is his
fault. Where do We stand is the
question we want answered.

JOHN A. MOSS, ESQ.

Among the most active and
promising members of the District
bar is John A. Moss, Esp, better
known as the Ajax. Mr.. Moss is
among the first Afro-Americans ad-
mitted to the District bar. He has
been known to have larger prac-
tice than any five members of the
bar, before he commenced to de :
fend members of the Metropolitan
Police Force, which made him
unpopular among his people, Mr..
Moss has right to defend any
man no matter what his national
ity is.
His people have now realized that
he was employed just the same as

AIDING LYNCHERS.

There is in this country certain
Afro-Americans who do more tc
discriminate against themselves
than the white people who are
charged with color prejudice.
Every day the country is thrown
into excitement and riot by the acts
of Afro-Americans. Meetings are
called by representative men and
women of the race for the purpose
of appealing to the lawmakers and
those in authority to put stop to
lynchers and lynching and appeal
this obnoxious law, known as
Lynch law. This being done daily,
and right on the back of it, news |
comes fir, m Seat Pleasant, Nd, of

other lawyers, hence the prejudice
that once existed against him is
passing away.
He has raised many intricate law
points, which, the court has sus-
tanned and which have resulted in
the acquittal of his clients.
He was presented, some time
ago, with fine gold headed cane,
from the policemen of this city,
among whom he is very popular.
He is better known as Moss, the
invincible.

"LYNCH LAW MUST CO."

This is what the great political re.
former, Editor John Mitchell, Jr., OF
Richmond, Va, carried into a bv.
word till now it is in every house
hold in the land.
The meeting at Shiloh Baptist church
on last Monday night was largely at
tended.
The occasion was a series Of meet
ings held, in this city, denouncing
the lynching of Sidney Randolph.
The meeting was called to order bv
Hon. John NJ. Langston, who intro
duced the central figure of the occas-
ion, Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett. The
lady spoke in her usual strain and
suggested the propriety of perma-
nent organization.

JASPER, FLA, July 26.-A race riot
east of here, in which six men were
killed and eight wounded. Two of
the latter were women.
Those killed are said to be Henry
Johnson, Albert Sullivan, Edward
JohnJ3n, white; Jim Solomon, Amos
Campbell, Ike Mitchell, colored. The
name lot the wounded have not been
learned.
The tragedy occurred at Haggard's
turpetine still, where many colored
men are employed. They gave a
. festival" " last night and while it was
in progress a number of white men
1ntrudcd and the shooting resulted.
1t IS rumored that the colored peo-
pie are generally arming and posse

POLITICAL FICTION.

Rev. Geo. W. Lee has decided
that the lynchers of Randolph and
Cooking will never be brought to
Justice. He is about right.
Senator Pitch-fork Tillman, of
South Carolina, has been a back
number since the Chicago conven-
ton.
With regard to certain physical
features Of the Populist it is said
those with silver whiskers are the
! worst.
Probabilities are that the mid
dle-of-ths-rcad people Jared like the
bul. which took that position
against the locomotive.
From his overmuch talking, his
friends, while admitting Bryan is
a big gun, think ne should have
muzzle.
If there are many more factienal
splits in Delaware, causing polite
al divisions there, hundreds will be
quite appropriate.
Everybody going out daily on the
wheel as reminder that the world
takes a turn on its axis every
day.
A whole lot of great men are pic
tured on the new silver certificates.
This, while not efecting it's face
value, gives it additional interest.
Though the Populists let Sewell
slide, il was not down their cellar
door,
Bicycle faces are said to be grow
ing, but nothing like the bicycle |
figures.
One bold fact in this convention
is that a man with a head on him
like Senator Hill must find it hard
to amalgamate with populism.
The great contest of 1896 is the
wage-earner's battle. Let them see
70 it thai they do not turn with sui
'ldal hands upon themselves.

MEAT OF ONE AND BONE OF
THE OTHER.

1t has been question much dis
cussed among those who practice
law in the Police Court and those
who visit that department Of justice
why l. is that offences are made tC
fit the imposition of sentences.
1t is a notorious fact thas Afro
Americans are the targets.
During the coat craze last
winter, among white and colored
criminals who were charged with
entering halls of houses and steal
ing coats, the Afro-Americans
always received the largest senten-
ces, although the offences were the
same. On one occasion two col
ored boys where charged with
having entered several houses and
Systematically carried away over
coats. One of the boys had had no
police record, but after their con-
vlction they were given SIX months
In each case, making their term of
Imprisonment on the six conyic-
tlons sc month each, or 3 years.
The following week two white
boys were caught stealing the hand
some overcoat of Mr.. Park. form
erly ticket agent of the Pennsyl-
vanla R. R., they were sentenced
to two months each in jail.
Lawyer J.. L. Jones charged the
Washington News with libel, the
editors were allowed to introduce
evidence in the orel: minary exami-
nation and their personal bonds
were given for their appearance.
The white editors of the Wash
ington Times charged the white
editors of the Capital with libel, and
IN the police court, on Tuesday.
the personal bonds of one of them
were taken until the other made
his appearance.
When the cOlored editor was sum- |
moned to appear in court on a
charge of libel, he was not per-
mltted to introduce one line of eyi-
1ence to establish the truthfulness
of his publication. The colored
editor had to give real estate, gilt

hat the editor was citizen of this
