THE NEGROES DEMANDS.

This is the caption of an article
that Hon. II. Il. Allan of Chicago,
ILL.,, one of the representative men
of the West has in the Chicago Con-
servator and we reproduce the same
in this weeks issue of The BEE, be-
cause it is a thoughtful expose Of
solid facts which should commend
themselves to the intelligent colored
men of this country.
As Senator Allain aserts, it is
either stupendous ignorance on the
part of the representative men Of
the race or a disposition on the part
of the republican party to shelf the
negro.
Republican leaders may as we'll
understand now, that they will not
have a walk-over in the next Presi-
Dental election.
Senator Allan is right when he
saws there should be in the next Re-
publican National Convention 29S
colored delegates.
The great trouble with some men
who have the support of their peo-
pie is, they abuse their confidence
by selling out two and three times
to different Presidential Candidates
and whoever is the successful NOM
inee, the delegates cannot demand
anything from him.
They have not only sold them
selves out, but they have sold out
their constituents who honored
these delegates by electing them to
the convention.
The States in which the negro
holds the balance of power and the
States IN which they have an over
whelming majority of votes, they
should demand representation and
elect In those States where they
have a majority, without demand
ing.
Pennsylvania may give the negro
one representative.

London, Feb. 12.-The regular session
of Parliament was opened yesterday.
At 2 o'clock the Royal Commission en-
tered the House Of Lords and the House
of Commons was summoned. Tne
speech from the throne was then read
by the Lord High Chancellor, LORD
Halsbury. 1t was, in part, as folloWs:
MY Lords and Gentlemen: continue
to receive from other powers assurances
of friendly sentiments.
'The Government of the United states
of America have expressed wish TO
cooperate in the termination OF the
differences which have existed Ior
many years between my Government
and the republic of Venezuela upon the
question Of the boundary between that
country and the colony OF British
Guiana l have expressed my sympa-
thy with the desire to come to an equ1t-
able arrangement and trust that fur-
ther negotiations will lead to satis'
factory settlement
THE Sultan Of Turkey has sanction
ed the principal reforms in the govern
which, Jointly with the Emperor OF
Russia and the President of the French
republic, have felt it to be my duty to
press. I deeply regret the fanatical
outbreak on the part of a section OF
the Turkish population which has re-
suited in a series of massacres which
have caused the deepest Indignation In
this country.
"A sudden incursion into the South
African republic by an armed force
from the territory under the control OF
the British South African Company re-
suited in deplorable collision with the
Burgher forces. My Ministers, at the
earliest possible moment, interviewed to
prohibit, through the Governor, this
hostile action and to warn all my sub
jects in South Africa against taking
part in it The origin and circum-
stances of these proc edings will be
made the subject Of searching in

hold the balance Of power, i: is
doubtful whether any negro will be
represented. There are a certain
class of white republicans who will
endeavor to gobble up everything,
but The BEE wants to state that
the republicans will not have q
walk-over, if the democrats have
sense enough to nominate the
right man And again if the republi-
can leaders show the least inclina-
ton that they don't want the negro,
he will flee like a bird to the
mountain.

THE KENTUCKY LEGISLA-
TURE.

The most disgusting scene to TIT
American body polite has beer
enacted in the Kentucky Legisla
ture over the attempt to elect q
United States Senator. Ii such
scenes as those we're to emlnate
from a negro body the entire press
of the world would declare that the
colored man was incapable of self
government and America has been
disgraced by allowing such scenes
to ntinue, not since the period of
reconstruction or during the time
the negroes held the reins of GER
tain reconstructed States, have any
of them been the scenes Of despot-
ism?
What is the American Govern
ment coming to? Armed men in
vading the Legislative Halls /; ruff
fans and bloody cut-throats sworn
in as deputies to intimidate men,
bers of the Legislature and when
the Speaker the House and the !
President of the Senate appealed to
the Governor for protection the
Democratic Legislators threatened
the Governor with arrest and i'm
prisonment.
This is a picture for the white
people of both political parties to
view and say if the negroes, while
thev held the reins of certain
States, ever disgracedit it and left a
black spot as a memento of recon-
Senator Blackburn is fine man
and while he is a democrat he has
been friendly disposed towards the

man to remain in party that op-
poses him.

SENATOR QUAY.

The greatest politician in this
country to-day is Hon. Matthew
Stanley Quay of Pennsylvania.
Sen Ator Quay is true and honest
republican and we know, if he
should satisfy his political aspir-
ations, the country would not suffer.
He is man who will do what he
promises and no matter what his
political faults are, he has more
political foresight than any repub-
lican in this country.

A queer Man.

]. L. Singleton of Atlanta, Is man
with strange mania for which he Ia
now under arrest, says the Savannah
News. 1t seems that Singletons sole
occupation is shooting cats and rum
ming and beating little negroes. 1t Ia
estimated that in the last five months
he has slain at least forty pussies. In
fact no cat can live in the nelghbor-
hood with him. Almost daily he patrols
the backyards Of his neighbors with
gun in hand, and looks carefully under
the houses and shoots every cat he
sees. A young negro seems to have
the same effect ON him, as a red cloth
does to wild bull. He can not tolerate
the sight of them. When a little col
ored boy passes his house and Is espied
by Singleton, he jumps off his porch
and will chase the innocent darby al
least three blocks, If he doesn't catch
him sooner, and then without any up.

drubbing with stick, on. general prin-

ConvIot 1nhor In the unltad slnln,

Commissioner Carroll D. Wright has
issued statistical report on convict
labor in the United States. The total
number of convicts in the various
penal institutions Of the country has
risen from 1887 in 1885 to 54,244 in
1895, and the number engaged in pro-
ductive labor has increased during the
same period from, 80 1853 to 3S,415. The
total value Of goods produced or work.
ed. on in the United States in all the
state prisons and penitentiaries was
$19, ,472 In 1854 decrease. In 1885
the total value of the product Of con-
vict labor was $2S,759,999, and the
wages paid for convict labor in that
year aggregated 1882, $40; at the pres
emit time the total value of convict la
Dor does not exceed $2,5OO,0OO. The de-
cline is made clearer by an enumera-
ton of the states in whose penal in
situations 1t has taken place. These
are Arizona, Arkansas, California, Col
orado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine
Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, Ne
vada, New Jersey, New York, North
Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
South Dakota, Tennessee and West Vir-
ginia. In the remaining states there
was an increase.

a woman who had few pennies but Or
iginal ideas, and she straightwRy went
to work to demonstrate that, although
mutilated, the tub was not beyond re-
pair. First she took some putty and
put this over the hole and smoothed
1t down carefully, until 1t was about the
same thickness as the papier mache
of which the tub was made. This was
then allowed to dry. Pieces of stout
muslin were then pasted over the putty
and a coat OF paint was put over the
cloth to hold 1t, and to make the mend
ed part of the tub look like the rest of
1t. Several coats OF paint were added
from time to time, and the mended
place is probably the strongest part OF
