Editor Fortune, of the New

we have said relative to the Tus-
kegee school over which Prof
Booker L. Washington presides.
We nave A., 900 or more colored
children to be taught in the public
schools Of this city and about 300
teachers. II it only t,kes 300
teachers for 10000 pupils in our

in tne Tuskegee school? Making
for the TusKegee school Eve pu-

= superintendent at a salary from
81. zoe to $4,000 per annum and
the balance be used for train

perintendent of the Hospital in
preference to surgeon,i ,in-chief ?
Why does Dr.. Williams recommend
that the superintendent succeed
him at reduced salary! If he is
tired of the hospital, why not re-
sign and let some one take it who
will maintain it's dignity? This
paper is friendly to D.. Williams
and always has been. We would

recommendation to lower the stand.

GREAT ANY WHERE.

There are few people in this
country who would ike to impress
the 9th rs that Hon. John Sher-
man is not the man for Secretary
# State. Senator Sherman is
grea in amy place he goes. AS
secre ay of the treasury he made
the greatest tinancier the country
ever pr duced. AS a senator and
chairman of the Foreign Relations
Committee, he has proven himself
to be master of the situation. I he
Senator is progressive as we'll as
brav He is true American and
a man in whom the Country can
coufide and the man to trust to
haadie our foreign aft ,irs.
With Senator Sherman as Secre-
tary of State, we may look for a
wise and progressive policy.

VIVA" ARE WEI

One would suppose hat every
colored man who drinks whiskey is
baby or is greatly in need of a
guardian. Rev DR.. Crommell
called to see the Commissioners on
Tuesday afternoon and among
other things, he SAID that L" the sa
oIns took from the hard working
colored citizens a big share of their
earnings " DR.. Crommell should
speak for himself and not for those
people who feel disposed to drink
whiskey when they want it. One
"ould suppose from the talk Of DR..
Crommell and those people who are
continually agitating the closing
of saloons, that they are in need of
guardians. We are prepared to show
that there are more hard earned
money taken from the hard work
Jag colored citizens by one half
of these preachers to build fine
churches than by the saloons.
One half of these big churches
in Washington have arge mort
cages on them which are straining
the very life out Of the congrega-
tions. The ministers must have
their salaries, and one half OF them
put it on their backs in broad
cloth suits, while their wives must
drrss in tattere1 gowns.
Let the pulpit practice what it
breaches. -. f..

SENATOR PRITCHARD WINS

The reelection of Hon. Jeter
9. Pritchard, Of North Carolina,
demonstrates the fact that the peo-
pie of his state have the most I'm.
plicit confidence in him as man
and senstor. He is one of the few
men of the South who has made q
brilliant record, which is evidenced
by his return to the Senate of the
Unit d States.
1t shows another thing, that he
knows how to overcome opposition
at a time when it is necessary.
Senator Pritchard is an honest
man as well as a fearless leader.
He loves his people which is one of
the necessary requisites to make u
good man great.
The people of the country tender
congr situations to the distinguish
ed SENATOR. and the citizens of
Washington, who wi always honor
and respect him, welcome him to
the National Capital.

THE PRESS.

There are certain social funct.
ionaries in this cou TRY, who woulh
starve 10 death if they attempted to
practice their professions, and are
ready at all times to depreciate the
value of the press. Some colorec
people, especially those who by vir-
tue of holding petty clerkshin il
departments, would have people
believe that they are so:ial
magnates. The BEE has never
8 usht the social or political favor
of any power or organiza ion. 1t
is not he organ of any social
CLIQUE, but, it is the true exponent
Of tn people irrespective Of race,
color or con lition.
The social fight that is going on
