after speeding the horses up one street
and down another, seeking for sign
of smoke, the firemen returned to the
hose house This false alarm business
is disgusting, and our police officers
should see that it is stopped.

A TEMPEST IN A TEA POl

Some time ago there was organ
lied in this city an organization,
known as the Union League
The object of which was to in
duce the hite merchants to hire
colored statesmen and women, etc.
The BEE said then that it was
an unwise movement inaugurated
by men, who had their own interest
to serve. What has been the re-
suit?
Two banquets given and the
members we're taxed one dollar .
plate to pay for them.
Certain gentlemen selected to
make spread eagle" speeches
which contained neither sense nor
reason.
One member said if these white
merchants wanted the negro trade
they must hire negro clerks, sales
men and women of The Afro-Ameri-
can race.
No one but q fool would made
use of such words.

NEGRO MANHOOD

On the 2Sth of this month it Wi
be decided if there is any p.an hood
IN the negro in this city and the re-
publican party. ,..r
Ihe question. for the negro re-
puDlicans To consider Is, blouted
oond holder, "a real estate can
didate and an enemy to the negro
republican to be elected to represent
the republican party in the next
National Republican Convention
Will the negro republican sacri-
lice his manhood by voting for a
man who refuses to rent them
houses upon the public streets
Will the negro vote for a man whu
has regarded the negro incapable OF
holding an office any higher than a
butler, waiter Or caterer?
Will the republicans vote for a
man who represent a real estate
pool in this city and a man Whose
election means oppression, tyrany
and discrimination?
Let us see where negro manhood
stands.
The Washington bee., 1896-01-11
GOVERNOR O'FERRELL.

One of the most and disiin-
guished specimen of manhood and
craftsmanship can be found in Gov
ernor 0'Ferrell OF Virginia.
During our trip in Virginia we
called to see Virginia's Governor.
We have every reason to believe
that Virginia will yet be the garden
spot of the South, and the rights of
the negro protected by proper law.
The legislature of Virginia will
recommend law, making 1T death
for an attempt or criminal assault
upon a female. Death is the only
thing that will deter evil doors.
Lynch law will be a thug of the
past in thetState in few months.
The Washington bee., 1896-01-11

The fact is the white merchants
get the Afro-American trade and
negro salesmen and women are
not hired either. except by Parker
g. Co., who employees Mr.. p. H.
Dixon, who is respe ted by all
classes of citizens.
The Union League had nothing
to do with putting Mr.. Dixon
where he is to-day.
Mr. Dixon has more power to do
than the entire Union League,
His friends will follow him.
The Union League is too exclu-
sive.
Men should be placed at its head
who can draw the masses, and not
men who have failed in everything
they have undertaken, and in whom
the people have lost confidence.
1t is not the intention of The
BEE to doubt the good intentions
of these gentlemen, hut 1t is fact
that good intentions of men with
out the necessary forces behind
them cause many people to be
paupers.
The Washington bee., 1896-01-11
THE COMING ELECTION.

The politicians are in a uuandary
as to what the three judges of e.
lections will do, in the coming con-
test for delegates from this city to
the National Republican Conven-
ton. 1t is said that Mr.. Carson
wants the delegates elected at the
primaries to the city convention:
that Mr.. Gleason is opposed to those
methods, while Mr.. Parker is in
doubt as to what he will do. What
difference does it make how they
are elected so long as the mode
that is adopted IS "a fair one.
The delegates should be elected in
the 22 Legislative districts to a Dis
trIct convention, which no doubt
would give greater satisfaction to a
majority of the republicans.

BEWARE OF OINTMENTS FOR
CATARRH THAT CONTAINS
MERCURY

as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucous surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except on
prescriptions from reputable ply
sicians, as the damage they will do is
ten fold to the good you can possibly
derive from them. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheny &

and is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces OF

Southern Women.

Mr. Thomas Nelson Page, in his book.
THE Old South has much to say in
praise of the wives and mothers of the
old regime. The master Of the planta-
tion, he says, might shift much Of his
responsibility upon a competent over
seer, but the mistress had no such
means Of relief. She was mistress.
manager, doctor, counsellor, seam
stress. teacher, housekeeper, slave all
at once" Such a woman was told by
her husband that one OF the gates was
broken. We'll, my dear" she answer
ed, If / could sew it with my needle
and thread I would mend 1t for YOU"
In another place Mr.. Page says that
some years ago he was shown a worn
and faded letter, written ON old Con
federate paper with pale Confederate
ink. 1t had been taken from the
breast-pocket Of a dead private sol
dler OF Georgia regiment after one
OF the battles around Richmond.
1t was from his sweetheart They
must have been plain and illiterate
people, for 1t was badly written and
badly spelled. In 1t she told him that
she loved him; that she had always
loved him since they had gone to school
together in the little schoolhouse in the
woods; that she was sorry she had al
ways treated him 50 badly, and that
now, IL he would get a furlough and
come home, she would marry him.
Then, as If fearful that this tempta.
ton might prove too strong to be re.
sisted, she scrawled a little POSTSCRIPT
across the blue Confederate sheet:
Don't come without a furlough, for
IL you don't come honorably I won't
marry you"
