MADE TO ORDER.

Bishop Arnett Of the African Meth0-
dist Episcopal Church was in PlttSburg
last Monday evening on his way to
Washington to arrange for the enter
tainment of the members of the COM
mlttee appointed to present to Major
Mckinley bible for use in the inau-
gural ceremonies.
"rhe Bible upon which Major y m.
Mckinley will take his oath OF Othce on
the Ath Of March as President OF the
United States will be very fine and
elaborate volume" said Bishop Ar
nett. "The book will be donated to
Major Mckinley for this purpose as
gift of the African Methodist
Church. 1t is now being printed in
Cincinnati by the Methodist Book Pub
fishing House. 1t will be handsomely
bound and lined front and back with
silk, with a suitable dediCatory in
scription upon the inside. On the out
side there will be a beautiful gold
plate, in the form of shield. on which
the name of the President, the date
and the name of the donors will be
handsomely engraved. The Bible will
be inclosed in handsome box made
of native Ohio wood and gold
mounted"
The distinguished Bishop knows
when Major Mckinley looks over that
bible that was made to order for him
BY the Bishop of the A. NJ. E. Church,
he will frequently stumble across these
words: 1.-The Lord lows cheerful
giver." do uuto others as you would
have them to do unto you"
Remember Thy friends" and Saul
SAID unto his servants, provide me now
man that can play well and bring
him to me.
These lines will strike the Bishop
more forcibly than anything else. The
Bishop has several men who want to
play many parts, some for retention
and some who want appointments.
When the Bishop and his bible
makers become to know themselves,
they will say to one another "Wha,
manner of man is this "
Major Mckinley will only remark
and call their attention TO this para
graph: when thou giveth in good
faith, YOU should not expect anything
in return" This will be a great Bible
the Bishop will present to the Presl
dent, and the President will find many
things to say Ia the Bishop that has
passed out of his biblical recollection

A TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT.

The tempest, in he teapot that
was stirred up by our distinguished
fellow citizen, Hon. Geo. Washing
ton Murray OF South Carolina, has
placed that gentleman in a very pc
culiar position in the eyes OF the
country. If Mr.. Murray didn't in
tend to object to the vote Of South
Carolina he should not have created
all of this wind. to the disgust of
the people of this country. If the
State of Sou,h Carolina, at the last
election, was bed of f.'aud. thiev-
ery and assassination, and the cleo
toral votes for Bryan and Sewall
were secured by fraud, etc, he
should have objected 20 the count
of his State and give law and rea-
son for 81 doing. \ man should
know what he Is foing before he
does it. and after he does it he
should be man enough to sand by

COL. l.. N. SAUNDERS.

THE BEE is not in the habit of
unworthy citizens,
and when THE BEE said last week
that Col. Saunders was being op-
posed for District Commission er We
want to be understood that it was
rather cheeky for men who were
opposed to the nomination of Ma
ior Mckinley to oppose a man who
was an original Mckinley man from
the Start Col. Saunders is gen
tleman of the highest type, and a
man who has always demonstrated
his appreciation for the people. 1t
was just few days ago that he
contributed 500 loaves of bread to
the poor. and instructed those who
had the distribution Of those loaves
to divide them equally among tn,
white and colored people. This is
the kind of man We want to see in
power.

THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY
SHIP.

The opposition to Mr.. Henry +.
Davis as United States District At
torney to succeed Mr.. A A. Blr-
ney, is cowardly and uncalled for
Mr.. Davis is entitled to cOnfrma-
ton, if it is the intention IF the
gold republicans to give gold demo
Gratis recognition. There seems tO
be a personal fight against Mr..
Davis on the part of his once
democratic associates. We want to
see him confirmed because We be-
lieve him to be q true representa-
tive of the g Id democrats and We
know him to be citizen of Wash
ington.
Democrats, 10 5 certain extent,
are alike some republicans. they
are never satisfied.
A clamor has been made for home
rule and the moment a District
man is nominated an effort is then
made to defeat his confirmation.
What does it mean?
We have nothing to say against

W. CALVIN CHASE, EDITOR
TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
JOHN BROWNS DAUGHTER.

There are several kinds of sentl-
mental colored people in this word
who are an impediment to the ra e
with which hey are ldenufed.
There are two or three kinds that
we shall briefly speak of in this ar
ticle.
The first and important Kind Is
the high-toned colored man and
woman whose sentlmentality Is for
an outward show a d newspaper no.
toriety. This class claims to sym
pathize wi b the unfortunates,
which is ONLY for otoriety, and TO
be known to posterity as .phiian-
thropists
Why should the cototed fnblic
schools on Douglass day be dis
turbed, by collection for John
Browns daughter, married white
woman Some of this class of col
ored men are endeavoriug TO bring
themselves into notOrlely by a
penny collection to ai6 her in her
distress. Because John Brown left
a daughter, whp married and was
doing well in life, and subsequently,
failed in business, are not sufficient
reasons for the colOred people
to be harasSed 10 death every
once in while by a class of
sentimentalIsts who are continu-
ally parading themselves before
the public since their advent
into Washington society. This
agitation about John Browns
daughter is becoming to be chest
nut.
How ma Y thousands of colored
widows and orphan children, who
were left to the mercy of their for
mer masters AMI thrown out in the
cold after the war, who are more in
need of help than John Browns
daughter, who has done nothing for
the elevation or advancement of tie
colored rlce: There are th' usands
in this country to-day more in neei
of the symp thy and aid of their
people than John Browns daugh-
ter.
Go into our alleys today and wit
ness starving children. Peep into
some of our doors and see helpl, SIS
widows and orphtn children who
are psupers upon this community.
The next kind of sentimentalists
are those who are all for charity.
This class holds public meetings,
makes big speeches and appropriate
20 much to his own use and to
those who are rot really in nee
These sentimentallStS are eating
cancers upon the community
We have he most profound re-
spect for John Browns daughter
but we d. not think that the Board
of Trustees of our public schools
should allow every theorist and
sentimentalist to work upon their
credulity by instituting what We
consider fake charity.
