COMMENCE TO KICK.

The colored voters or rather the
Office hunters are beginning to
kick. Why should they kick !?
These very gentlemen who did not
want negro in the cabinet are do.
ing the kicking. If President Nc
Kinley was good enough at the
time these kickers didn't want q
negro in the cabinet, why should
they kick now? President McKin-
ley is the same man ne was six
months ago. He has not changed
bit If anything there is slight
Improvement in his disposition.
He kicks rascals out of Office and
appoints gentlemen. What more
do you want ? AS soon as the tariff
bill becomes law, prosperity will
then commence to show itself.
Those who wanted a ne ro cabinet
officer ought to be the kickers and
not those who didn't want negro
cabinet officer. Be satisfied, gentle
men, you demanded small places,
but they are barred by the Civil
Service Law. Since you are too
small to fill big places and not COM
petent enough to pass an examina-
tion for the small places, you must
be patient and take your chances.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The new postmaster at Madison.
vile, La, is colored lady. She
was highly recommended by the
citizens aud Representative Victor
Fauria:
The race trouble has begun at
the Tennesse Centennial. On the
day of the opening the negro Off
GERS of the Exposition were relega-
ted to the gallery. A vigorous pro-
test was promptly presented, Chief
Hill and the other colored officers
threatening to resign if such dis
elimination continued. Chief Hill
and his assistants have been un-
firing in their efforts to make the
negro building a success and they
deserve better treatment at the
hands of money making Tennes-
seeans. Nashville is still the Nash
vile of old. and the feelings of the
white toward the negro are not
likely to change for several gener-
ations.

SELF-CONSTITUTED.

Bishop Arnett, Of Ohio, who is prob
ablv the most influential of the Pres
ident's advisers as to the colored pat
ronage. was at the White House in the
interest of Mr.. |. E. Lee, of Florida.
Mr.. Lee is the leader of the colored
Republican politics in Florida, and
has been an influential man IN the State
and the South for many years. With
Bishop Arnett in his interest were DIR.
NJ. NJ. Moore, the financial secretary
of the A. NJ. E. Church in the United
States, and Judge Long, prominent
white Republican of Florida.
The delegation did not ask for any
specific appointment for Mr.. Lee, but
is desirous of obtaining a good recog-
milton of his services. They are will
ing that his appointment shall also be
consided recognition of the colored
Republicans of the South. He will
probably receive something good.
If the Bishop Arnett would only
stop and think a moment he would
readily be convinced, without a
suggestion from any one, that he
is a self.constituted leader of the
negroes of this country. Who
gave him the authority to 60 to
the President and inform him,
that the appointment of Mr.. j. E..
Lee of Florida, to some position,
would be sufficient recognition of
the negroes in the South.
You may talk about gall, mon
umental cheek and steel edge sar-
casism, why Bishop Arnett's pre-
sumption, impudence and pea
cock bombasity, surpass all that
has ever been presented to the Pres
ident u , to date.
Will Bishop Arnett kindly ask
President Mckinley to loan him
the celebrated Bible that was pre-
sented him by Bishop Arnett and
others, as an incentive to have the
President to appoint his son, { Ar
nett to the registership of the
Treasury, and read these lines:
Fools will go where, Angels
dare not tread.
The BEE begs leave to inform
President Mckinley that Bishop
Arnett, who represents the A. NJ. E.
church and whose candidates are
all A. NJ. Z. Church people, doesn't
represent the negroes of this country
nor is the A. NJ. E. church voters
controlled by the Bishop and these
self-constituted leaders.

NEGRO LEADERSHIP.

What is negro leadership? To
some extent it is self-constituted
Indeed, it has always been self-con-
stituted. There is a leadershi that
is dangerous to the colored people.
This leadership is where the negro
is in control and the white man
rules. This is leadership in name,
so far as the negro is concerned.
There is the apologist. He is the
most dangerous of all leaders. The
present administration is about tc
give us new leadership. THE
BEE will watch this leadership
with a Jealous eye Some say this
leadership will be an improvement
in the school of politics. This is
left to be seen. Again the present
school of politicians call for
bravery and not toadyism.

Mr. J. w. Browning, of Pittsburg
Pa, special correspondent of the Pitts
burg Press, was one of the chief sup
porters of Captain Catlin and the man
who engineered his election. Mr..
Browning edits the Afro-American
column Of the Press and is considered
one of the most brilliant writers in

The kick against the appointment OF
Judson Lyons as Postmaster at Angus
ia is rotten. 1t seems as if the demo
Gratis are trying to run the republi-
can party after we are in power. Let
those clerks and ANYBODY else, who
want to, resign if Lyons is appointed.
There are plenty negroes capable OF
filling any position that the present
incumbents are holding. We would
like to know if President Mckinley is
going to let the democrats have who
they want.
The colorod republicans of Geor-
gia are waiting and watching to
see what is to be done with the

want to know if few white moss

will influence the President to the
extent of preventing him from nom

COL. NATHAN TOOMER.

Col. Nathan Toomer OF Georgia has
arrived in the city from the South,
where he has been prosecuting some

best known and most liberal men in
the South and the day will come when
his true worth and character will be

He has had lots of trouble and oppo-
sition without cause. He is a good
father, faithful and true husband and
is not the man to stoop to small
things. Col. Toomer will remain in
the city some time, and the good
opinion that the people have of him
is demonstrated by the manner in
which he is received bv the best

THINKS II is A FRAUD.
THE ANIMUs OF THE NEGRO.
From the Galveston Texas Times.

According to the Washington
BEE, a Negro National Protective
Association has been organized
with headquarters at Washington,
and Geo. Washington Murray, ex-
congressman from South Carolina,
organizer, in charge of headquar-
tiers. Just who is to be protected
by this great society the organizer
failed whereof to inform us and
keeps the expectant world in case
of liver palpitation. The negro
world, which, by the way, is on he
lookout for just such National Bun
co Game, is about tired of so much
humbug, and will have no more of
it. The president, secretary, and
treasurer, all of whom are doubtless
the same, is to serve as the advisory
board, which will control the policy
of the organization, is the way Mr..
Washington Murray arranged the
thing; then he hung an onion over
his tripe-bag to keep his conscience
from kicking, and elected himself
president. This is a new way to
solve the race problem Booker
Washington al t in it p! Mr.. Muir
ray can give him headstart then
solve the race problem while Booker
is looking up the index on his finan
cial score card. Vice-presidents
have been appointed in several
States and our own little body, big
head W. L. Smith is vice. president
for Texas. Comparisons are odious,
remarked somebody, but tits certain
that he was not trying to compare
W. l.. Smith and George Washing
ton with Texas sand fiddler. They
ought to have selected Hon. One
Gone Smith or virtuous little FL +.
T. Williams of Houston . They
are both professional fakirs and
would be just the dandies for that
pozlsh The scheme Is not for
the purpose of bringing new leaders
to the front or to discount the eff
forts of those colored men who have
sacrificed the best interest of the
colored people for the sake of hold
ing office" Rats If the above
quotation be true the organization
is as worthless as dirty dishwater !;
as aimless as a blind man and as
beneficial as a Confederate ten.
Why knock the grease out of those
darkies who have sacrificed the
best interest of the colored people
for the sake of holding office"
That class of negroes are d possible

pIres and public scavengers. Poll
tics have done more to degrade and
disgrace the negro than our sedu-
ers and rapists it is the only bar

How the Ground Breatheg.
Junction City, Kas.

French experlmenters have lately
brought out interesting facts about the
circulation Of air in the soil. 1t appears
that considerable oxygen is absorbed by
the roots Of plants, and the supply of
this oxygen is maintained by air penet-
rating through the minute interstices of
the soil. When the ground is covered
with water, or when the molecules, or
grains, Of soil are dissolved in water and
packed into an immense mass, then air
cannot circulate below the surface, and
vegetation suffers.
The experiments referred to show that
lime or salt in the soil solidify the earthly
molecules and prevent their being dis
solved and packed by the action OF water;
hence the Importance of lime in keeping
the ground open and permeable for the
circulation Of both air and rain water.

on monetary subjects, always advocat-
Ing bimetSllism as his cardinal and
fixed doctrine. And In connection
with bimetalllsm, he frequently adVo
Gated a modified, and even an unlim.
tied monetary fatism. In fact, If now
living, Mr.. Ernest Seyd would be
clasSed as a full-aedged Populist on
the money question.
Discussing silver coinage in England,
in 1868, In his large work on bullion
and iforeign exchange (psge 619), Mr..
Seyd said:
"The artificial excess Of value thus
given to silver coin In England is up
held simply by the operation of the
law of legal tender. Now, how far
does this law of legal tender extendP
We find, as the case stands at present,
that 1t is 6 2.5 per cent. of the nominal
value Of the British silver coinage,
making SO S-5 parts Of silver pass for
100 parts full. Could not this law be
made to 60 further in It's Value.crest-
Ing and supplementing actlonp Might
1t not supply 25, so, or even IS or 95
per cent. Of the nominal value of the
coinage, leaving only rs, so, 25, or even
5 per cent. Of the actual metallic yalue
in the pieces of our currencyS 4 r
Nay, why should we not dispense alto
gether with the silver coinage, and
substitute a non.metsllic paper money
as is actually done In certain countries
where they have forced paper cur
currencyP"
Mr.. Seyd thought paper currency
depending entirely for its value on the
law of legal tender would not be a sue
cess in England. But further along
In his discussions (page 567, he'said:
GAS differences In value declare
themselves, the law of legal tender, as
we have shown before, is strong
enough to cope with them to a certain
extent. No difference has as yet sp.
peared exceeding that one-tenth part
Of the proved power of this law"
will now close with the remark
that this same Mr.. Seyd, in the midst
Of this glorious bimetallic, PopulistiC
record, was charged with being an
agent of the European bankers, en-
gagged In bribing the American Con-
gress, for the purpose of procuring the
temonetiZstion Of silver. nmy judg.

In my opinion American blmetal-

wen now heaping unmerited Obloquy
IN his memory. Very Respectfully,

But Mr.. Seyd's friendship for silver
did not end in 1923. / have before
me book written by him, published
in London, in 1879, in which I find the
following:
"The decline Of prosperity In Eng.
land and other countries, which the
signs of the present times appear to
indicate, Is subject In which every
member Of the human family has a
deep, personal interest. There has
been periods of so.cslled crises, sf.
fecting commerce and finance, but
these lasted only short time, were
followed by quick recovery, and
affected special branches Uf trade and
industry. The present depression,
however, has continued nearly six
years, in the successive stages of its
steady decline, and its influence has
spread over all classes. The hope that
there will soon be an improvement has
no solid grounds; the current sllegs-
tions as to the reasons Of the falling
off also appear to be bsseless. The
real fact is that the one main cause
exists, to which the whole evil may be
traced.
"It is the object of this publication
to bring this main cause before the
reader, but when 1t is here at once
mentioned that the cause Is connected
with metallic money, or rather the
laws affecting its use, many people
may feel disinclined to give their at
tentiOn to so dry and intricate a theme.
Nevertheless, an earnest appeal must
be made to all land owners, property
holders, men devoted to science and
art, bankers, manufacturers, mer.
chants and tradesmen. The working
classes have an interest In the ques-
tiOn, because 1t exercises fatal infu-
ence on their well being.
"The depression of trade and indus
try has been ascribed to many causes;
among these, 'OVer-tradlng,' 'Over-pr
ductton,' high living, growing inferi-
ority of our manufacturer STRIKES Of |
workmen and drunkenness belong to |
our supposed internal shortcomings.
Then cycles Of trade cessation of |
loans to foreigners, foreign wars
finally, foreign competition and pro
lection in foreign countries are al.
legged to be the external causes. Neither
individually nor collectively do the
reasons given cover the question.
Some of them are irrelevant, some |
counteract each other, and, altogether,
none are Of such an unusual or novel
nature as to account for the sudden |
change from progress to continued,
steady decline. Above all, the depres-
sion of trade is not confined to this
country, but is universal. The true
cause of the abnormal dep ression of
trade is the contraction Of metallic
currency by human law the so called
decentralization of silver"
The above quotation is from page
Of Seyd's book, entitled "The Decline
Of Prosperity" On page 80 of the
same book he gives the remedy, as fol-
lows:
''In the preceding chapters the COM
plete statement of the case has been
brought before the reader, in order to
prepare for the consideration Of the
