POLITICAL FICTION.
BY PRIMROSE.

And now the New York baseball
team has been defeated by score
of 16 to 1.
Mr.. Sewall is keeping very quiet
thinking perhaps that MIR. Bryan
is doing talking enough for the
whole ticket.
Mr.. Wright amend his motto to
read 81 am a Democrat under
protest"
There is a general suspicion that
Mr.. Tom Watson will not be "at"
the presiding officers chair in the
Senate.
Every nov and then Mr.. Sibley,
of Pa, arises and makes few
remarks with himself as a pleased
and attentive audience.
Just when the peach crops is
being basketed the single-taxers in
Delaware, musttake measures not
to hide their own light under a
bushel, but to give the state a peck
of trouble.
Nobody can criticise sound
money Democrats taking to the
woods, they'll just keep shady till
election day.
Ignoring for the moment all
bearings of silver, nobody could
kick if that in the Thermometer
fell to So.
In other words Mr.. Hills Demo-
cracy is about to resume business
at the old stand.
For ali these are the dogdays,
Sewall and Watson are running
around anxious to tie something to
the tail of the ticket.
The more the Republican voters
talk like Thos. B. Reed, the more
progress they will make against the
Silver cause.
MIR. A. Gibbs, of the Philadel-
phia P. o., says that Silver is sure
winner.
This is an educational campaign
it's true, but the Chicago candi-
date makes a mistake to think the
country wants nothing but lessons
in elocution. Mr.. A. W. Brinkley,
editor of the National Witness, is a
Siverite pure and simple.
Peary stuck in northern ice may
not ignore his lower degree friends,
but he is some what cool and distant.

OUR WOMEN.

We introduce TO the many tnOus-
and readers of The BEE this week
Mrs. Ella V. Chase Williams, form
erly Of this city, but now of Able
vile, S. c., who will edit the
Woman's Column in this paper.
All communications intended for
the Column must be addressed to
the Woman's Column.
The EDITOR.
Mrs. E. V. c. Williams, Editor.
That woman is an important
factor in the uplifting Of the masses
is self evident.
The increased interest on their
part was clearly demonstrated at
the two great National conventions
held in the city Of Washington,
during the month of July.
The work mapped out by the
National League of Colored Wo-
men, and the National Federation
of Afro-American Women, which
are now united, thereby giving to
the world one grand organization
for the moral, spiritual, industrial
and intellectual uplifting of the
masses is just the lever needed.
How best to raise our less fortu-
nate sisters along such lines should
be the burning question of the
hour, and to our mind is of far
more Importance than the discus
sion as to whether we shall be
called Colored, Afro. or Negro.
If our women, those who truly
have the elevation of the masses at
heart, would put something tangi-
BILE before us of a National char
acter, for the benefit of the thous-
ands of INDECENT but w'rthy girls
of the race. which would command
the respect and Endorsement of
good people everywhere, irrespect-
i've of race, color, or previous con-
dition, far more good would be
accomplished than by spending our
time discussing as to what we shall
be called.
There are scores of intelligent,
and educated women who do not
think it und1gnifed, or degrading
to the race to be called negro, or
colored, while on the other hand
the meaningless word Afro, they
regard as misnomer.
Tne joint commission to whom
was delegated power to name the
united organization was composed OF
thoughtful women, fair representa-
tives of the race. The name they
selected, National Association of
Colored Women, suits nine-tenths
of the race and they are willing to
trust to the judgment of those who
selected it. We would deplore to
see the word Afro, substituted for
colored. We would prefer. if it be
thought wise at the next annual
convention, to change the name of
this great body, to have 1t called
instead of National Association Of
Colored Women, the National
American Woman's Alliance.
Then all hues of the defendants of
that small band of Africans who
came over in 1919 could be repre-
sented without offending their finer
sensibilities.

THE WHITE MANS PARTY

It seems as if the Afro-Amerl-
can is no longer factor in the
BODY polite of this country. Ever
since the organization Of the repub-
hcans IN this city he has been more
or less asked to participate in the
councils of the republican party
and aid in ratifying the nomina-
ton Of republican candidates. In
the makeup Of the several com
mittees for the great ratification
parade and meeting the reprensen-
tative republican Afro-Amerlcans
are counted among the missing
What does it mean? 1t means
that the white republicans nave no
further use for their faithful black
allies. 1t means that the day has
come for the republican party to
elect its president without the aid
of the colored vote, and If the Al
ro-American feels disposed to cast
his vote without any understanding
or promise from either candidate
he can expect to receive just what
either president elect gives him.
Afro-American republican "dom-
nation in the District of Colum-
bia is a thing of the past.
He will no longer control the des-
tiny of the republican Iarty in this
city.
Like Othello, "his occupation is
gone" The Afro-American was
his own assassin. History has only
repeate itself.
When we had suffrage in this
city, the strikers did not rest till
the elective form of government
was abolished and Afro-Amerlcans
who held responsible positions were
soon thrown from the topmost
rounds of their popularity and
brought upon a level with the
dust.
The present campaign looks like
the white mans battle.
The advocacy of human rights
and human liberty which are sa-
cred and dear to Afro-Americans
have banished for posterity to re.
cord among the archives of obliter-
ated constitutional privileges.
The present campaign is one in
which the proud Caucasian holds
the winning card and the cowardly
Afro-American, like the Jack of
spades, when hearts are trumpts.

Another Advance Made.

The Keeley cure has been introduced
into the st. Agnes Hospital, Baltimore,
Md. The good Sisters realize that in
the Kelley cure is found the only hope
for those addicted to the liquor and
morphine habits, and have made q
contract with tho Keely Institute of
Maryland by which the Keeley treat.
ment shall be administered at their hos
pital by regular physicians instructed
by DR.. Kelley. This is another argu-
ment proving that the Sisters Of Char
ity occupy the front place in the care
of the diseased and in the service of
suffering humanity. The treatment
was adopted four years ago by the
United States government and is used
at the National home. Proving so ef-
flcacious the treatment is now given
at Fort Leavenworth Post, t. che Off
GERS and enlisted men of the regular
army. During the past two years the
States of Maryland, Minnesota, Colo.

provided that INDECENT

Negroes nreant murder

SELMA, Ala, April 5.-News
reached the city at II o'clock last
night that the residence of Judge
Alonzo Irwin, seven miles west Of
Selma, was surrounded by negroes
who threatened to murder the family.
Sheriff Kennedy and posse hastened
to the scene. The negroes heard the
posse approach the house and dis.
persed. The leader, Lewellen ,Os-
borne, was found in his house, a short
distance away. He refused to come
out. The door was forced open and
Osborne stuck gun through the
crack and attempted to shoot. The
sheriff fired into the house and Os-
borne, who had refused to surrender,
ran out gun in hand. The posse open

A nfurdorous Plot UneartI,e,l.

The following, which is clipped
from the Augusta Herald, is certainly
startling. The Herald says: "JosR
Johnson, q negro detective of this
city, has just returned after having
worked up sensational case in South
Carolina. Certain citizens of Lexing

in the vicinity has been busued and
the people suspected that Bowers had
melted tramps to do it; but could ney-
er get satisfactory proof. Then it be-
came known that Bowers had tried to
bribe negroes to murder several neigh
bors. 1t was to work up this charge
that Johnson was employed. The
Augusta darkey turned up al the Bow.

work and said he knew all about saw

intended putting up ono. Bowers be-,
came very friendly and johnson also
got confidential, saying that he had

Bowers very much. Finally one night
