The Presidents message, |hlcil
no doubt is his last one, was sent to

Monday.
There was only one portion OF the
message that seemed to interest
Congress and that related to the IN
dependence Of Cuba. President
Cleveland has in his power to rec
ognize the belligerent'S rights OF
Cuba. which in the opinion OF the
American people would aid the m
dependence of the Cuban people.
The President might have gone
further and impressed upon Con-

Tn. people Of this city and in

Metropolitan church has been to the
entire city, and it is no more than
right and just for the trustees of
the church to appeal to the peo-
pie for assistance.
Within the past five years this
congregation and friends have
raised and paid in interest from
five to seven thousand dollars and
they are still doing all in their
power to raise the necessary amount
to save the church.
The appeal of The trustees is a
pitiful one and our people and
especially those who have one spark
of Christianity in their souls
should, at once, respond to the ap-
peal of these trustees. Let the
reople do their duty and show to
the Christian world that we have
magnanimity enough in our hearts
to aid a worthy object.

A LEAGUE PROPOSED.
consistency.
tFrom ,he IndianapoIis Freeman,

lFrom the lnulandpoHs rlSemah3
The high water of political unrest is
now manifested within the ranks OF
Negro republicans. Leagues and con-
decorations galore have come and gone
in the past almost with the regularity
of the tides. 1t is apparent now that
the Negroes are at sea, and that II
takes concerted action TO arrest the
decay, seeming TO set in. HE BEE,
of which W. Calvin Chase IS editor, a
Washington, ID. C., journal, is very
much in earnest about an organization
for concerted action.
That there is work TO be performed
all who think must agree 1t Is CON
iectural as to the performance OF the
work. What to be done, what to DO,
is the kew that is not readily so found.
But there is key to the situation and
it must be found In American affairs
ordinary, leaders are not essential
But the fact is becoming more patent
daily that the race is treated as sepd-
rate and distinct mass, regardless OF
the philanthropy of the phiianthropir-
ally inclined. 1t is evident that every
thing that goes TO Negroes III pubic
way IS a concession 10 his race strictly,
Te0drulGSS Cl lDC dlI-[AlllCIlN'Ih iHNSA
1t is also true that when, the race does
not bestir itself as a race, no cogniz-
anCe is taken Of the individuals. As
long as such conditions remain, there
must be guiding genius to direct at,
fairs in order that the greatest good
NAV accrue to the greatest numbers.
Give the league chance.
Noman has a bet ,er idea of the
duti-s of the league than Lord
Chesterfield Knox. Indiana is an
important state. Lord Knox should
organize a State league at one.
There is to be National cOnven-
ton of Afro American Leagues,
and every state in the Union will
be represented.

EDITOR FORTUNE NOT
PLEASED.
(From the New York AgeD

The editor of the WASHINGTON
BEE is a man with a very level head.
Now. we would like to know what ex-
cuse he has to offer for printing an ar
ticle signed Oliver +. Gray, in which
Mr.. Fortune is criticised for views ex-
pressed by him on our present polltl-
cal condition. We do not know Mr..
GRAY. Mr.. Gray has not, evidently,
read the series of articles by Mr. For
tune to which he alludeS. He there
fore makes an elaborate eulogy OF the
republican party and our old lead
ers,' neither Of which has been assail-
ed by Mr.. Fortune, as Mr.. Gray ought
to know, i'll the series OF articles under
consideration, in the way he inslnuates.
The republican party and the lead
ers of the race must live up to their
professions of faith, and when they do
not do it they will be lashed by the
newspapers for cir failure to do SO.
That is what newspapers and journal
lists exist for.
The editor of THE BEE does noa
deem i; nece .sary to offer any ex-
cuse for the views expressed by Mr..
Gray, concerning his criticisms Of
! Editor Fortunes articles that ap-
peared in the Sun some time ago
THE BEE took the same position
that Editor Fortune did so far as
the action of the colored delegates
! were concerned at the late st. Louis
convention and the represen a i've
colored men who were there and
not consulted as to the conduct OF
the campaign. If Editor Fortunes
views did not meet the approval
of Mr.. Gray and others, the writer
has right to say so, in the columns
of The BEE if he so desires. Why
| should Edit Fortune be dlspleas'
ed? The Bee might ask what ex
cuse has Editor Fortune to offer fol
! the inconsistency of his recent edi,
torials on a colored man for the
cabinet? By saying that either
Bruce or Washington is acceptable
to him when he had previously
named Prof. Lansgton for attorney

CUBA'S LIBERTY.

The continuation Of the cold
and bloody war that is going on in
Cuba, is a disgrace to the civilized
world and a black spot on the civil
lied nations of the world.
Spanish tyranny seems to be en-
joyc d by those who have power to
crush out this rebellion and butch.
e:y of liberty loving Cubans.
Will these Christian nations per.
NIT this war to 60 on? What ef
feet the death Of Antonio MaceC
will have on the liberty and inde

An exchange asks: "Shall we have

we have it at once? Let US hear from
YOU" Of course have it and at once
but let it be more than paper lnstltu-
ton serving no purpose other than to
advertise what it fails to do. Say what
we will of the oppression from which
the race suffers, this fact will stare US
in the face; ours will be hard row to
hoe until we learn to stand together
in a league fully identified with the
work of elevating the race. Until the
Afio-American League or some similar
organization becomes an effective
agency in cur race life, we shall nave
