General Manager of the West Virginia
Northern r. r. was in town Friday.

success Of the proposition of his COM
pany to extend the road from King
wood, its present northern terminus
to Morgantown.
A special session of the circuit court
of Pre- ston- county is being held in
Kingwood to-day Thursday. A part
of the business is to take such steps
as are necessary to declare vacancy
in the Office of Prosecuting Attorney
for the county and secure the appoint
ment of a new Prosecuting Attorney.
1t is said the Prosecuting Attorney
elected last fall has left the county
and abandoned the office.

Ben Butterworth is getting too
deuced inquisitive. The other day
he actually had the audacity to say
that he would like to know how
many men high in official life owed
their places to the purchasable com

1t is admitted that the new tariff
will add at least 20 per cent to the
cost of maintaining an average fam

joyfully it will be welcomed by those

from 20 to 40 per cent; they will
have no doubt about the exact

The postmaster general, who is a
southern man, has decided as the
policy of his department that color
ed postmasters will not be appoint
ed in any of the considerable towns
of the south. There have been col
ored candidates for the postoffices at
Augusta, Savannah and Charleston,
and this decision eliminates them.
The postmaster general says the APP
pointment of postmaster at the
south is social as well as a politi-
cal question. There has been no
suggestion of colored postmaster
for any northern city.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
A COLORED DEMOCRATS COM
PLANT.

Washington, d. c., Dec. s, 1907.
Editor of the BEE:
Will you please allow me space in
your most valuable paper, for the pur-
pose Of asking the following questions:
Why is it that there were a few negro
democrats discharged, and so. many
so-called negro democrats retained !?
| agree with The BEE, what it saws to
negro democrats holding places that
should be filed by republicans, but
what can't understand is, why you
don't publish the names of every
negro democrat holding Office under
the present administration and see
that they are removed.
There are several sound money
negro democrats who supported Nc
Kinley, but have been discharged and
silver negro democrats retained, and
should they be retained in office until
1900, they will laugh in your face.
believe to the victor belongs the spoils
and that these so-called negro demo-
Gratis should be removed at once. The
BEE is the paper to see that it is done,
it being the only negro republican
paper published in Washington. We
look to you for advice IN this matter.
Hoping that you will give this
your attention.
Yours truly,
An Honest democrat.

for public Office that has been more
heartily applauded than this particular
one. lhe colored people themselves
are foremost in extending to President
Mckinley their thanks for his marked
consideration of the race through
Seator Bruce. They are fast learning
the important lesson that to be strong
with an administration it is necessary
to have friend at court to plead their
cause
MIR. Bruce has come in touch with
the political leaders of to-day and
made upon them the same favorable
impression that he made upon his
colleagues more than twenty years ago.
When he was Register of the Treas
ury during the Garfeld-Arthur admin
isfration, MIR. Bruce came in contact
with the leading bankers of the coun.
try, and made them his friends.
The prestige that came to him as
Senator helped him, to be sure, In his
later career, but those who know Mr..
Bruce well are cognizant of the fact
that this distinction is not the sole basis
for the honorS that he has won in the
various walks of life. In every posi-
tion held by him he has been an un-
qualified success. Mr.. Bruce has
always served the public in some wav
and has thereby greatly helped him
self in the estimation of the public.
Indeed, the great secret of Mr..
Bruce's success lies in the fact that he
does everything we'll. He has worked
his way to the exalted place of leader
of the Negro race in America. He has
not attained it by adventitious circnm-
stances. His winning manners, eaua-
BILE temper, high toned generosity and
freedom from malice and envy have
made Mr.. Bruce a most popular man
with his friends. In short. he is one
of the wisest, most prudent and most
judicious leaders the negro race has
ever produced. He has been Justly
elevated by President Mckinley to a
place that is in keeping with his re-
preventative character.
Nothing can give more convincing
testimony of the qualification of the
leading men of the country over the ap-
pointment of Senator Bruce than the
hundreds of telegrams and letters that
he has received complimenting him
on his appointment. Among those
most profuse in their congratulations
are former SENATORS. Cabinet officers
and public men who were associated
with him decade ago.
He, indeed, is wise leader who can
draw to himself the support of the
leading men of both the great political
parties in this country. Such a man
is B. K Bruce. The Negro race in
America should give him that loyal
support which it is necessary for a
leader to have, in order to make his
leadership success.

THE CONGRESSIONAL LYCEUM.
A LARGELY ATTENDED MEETING
DANGEROUS TENDENCIES AND
HOW TO CHECK THEM.

There was large and appreciative
gressional Lyceum at Odd Fellows
Hall last Sunday afternoon. Presi-
dent w. {. Martin presided. Invoca-
ton by Deacon Leroy Harvey. Prof.
John w. Crummell read paper, en-
titled: dangerous Tendencies and
how to Check Them" Among other
things Prof Crummell mentioned the
increased number of lynchings in the
states. especially in the South; the
wholesale disfranchisement Of the me-
gro vote in the Southern States, and
the high death rate among the colored
population of the country, as indicated
by statistics, as dangerous tendencies
which should, in some way, be check
ed. In the presentation of facts he
fully sustained his wide reputation as
a scholar and one of the best informed
men of the race.
Prof: Crummell was followed by
Hon. John c. Dancey, one of North
Cardinals most popular colored ora
tor and statesmen. He forcibly COM
mended upon the conditions of things
as shown by Prof. Crommell's paper.
He concluded by saying that he was
an optimist, and believed that the
present political and social condition
OF the race would soon give place to
progress and higher christian civili-
zation.
Lawyers Simms, Stewart and DIR.
Johnson discussed the paper.
The Lyceum was again honored by
the choir Of John Wesley Church, Mr.
J. w Compton, director. The singing
by the choir was supplemented by
Messrs. Harvey and Robinson. Mr..
Harvey is a skilled violinist, and the
cornet solo by Mr.. Robinson, Miss
Marietta Harvey accompanist, was
loudly applauded, and was subjected
to favorable comments by the audi
ence. Miss Marietta Harvey is one Of
the most accomplished pianist in the
District, and the Executive Commit
tee acted wisely in securing her SER
vices.
The senior choir of the Nineteenth
Street Baptist Church, Prof. James T.
Walker director, has accepted an in
vitation to be present next Sunday
at which time Prof. Walker
will sing a solo.

Ex-CONSUL SMITHS CHILDREN
CARED FOR.

The FIVE little children of ex-United
States Consul H. c. Smith, who rep
resented this government at Santos,
Brazil, were provided:with transporta-
ton, by the Board of Children Guar
dians on last Monday morning and
sent to Tennessee, the home of Mr..
Smith wife, There is a difference Of
opinion as to the desertion Of Mr..
Smith from his wife. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr.. Smith did not
place his children in the care of
home until after his wife left him. 1t
was then when he left for New York
City where he is now. Of course his
friends agree that his wife's actions
did not justify him in leaving his chill
dren in destitute circumstances.

r. w. Thompson, correspondent indianapolis
Freeman
Ex-senator Blanch K. Bruce. bv the
wisdom and foresight of President
Mckinley and his own commanding
elements of strength, is Register of
the Treasury. The long waited for
event has happened, and the only
strange thing about it is the unusual
fact that in this day of disappointment
and uncertainty the fttest man has
won out by such a handsome margin.
Your correspondent has, from the he
ginning, favored the selection of Mr..
Bruce, believing that high official sta
tlons-Such as carry with them the
insignia of leadership-should be filled
by the most representative characters
among us. Mr.. Bruce has had much
experience in public life. He has
made many valuable acquaintances
among the strong political factors of
the nation. The warm friendship his
genial nature has cultivated, coupled
with record unblemished by the sup-
geStion of scandal, combine to give
him an influence potent for great good
to his race. In this respect he has no
rival among the leaders of TODAY.
Broader business relationship and
years of study along economic and
philosophical lines has ripened a
naturally acute trend toward states
manship, and Mr.. Bruce is now in bet
ter condition to serve his people than
ever before. A happy characteristic
of his, and one which has done as
much as any other to keep him alive
in the popular mind, when other able
contemporaries have fallen, forgotten
by the waySide, is his confidence in
the young men of the race He has
Kept IN Touch with them i'm all matters
looking to their moral and material
advancement. and has never failed to
grasp all opportuniti- S to lend aid and
comfort to their political ambitions.
He has kept pace with modern
thought and taken kindly to the spirit
OF progress-when many of his rivals
nave stuffed their ears with deafeninp
wads OF superstition and antiauated
dogmas. Herein lies the secret of his
perennial success. HIS is an example
well worthy of emulation. Mr.. Bruce's
selection gives universal satisfaction
and IS, from an Afro-American stand,
polnt, the most popular act of the
Mckinley administration Republi-
cans and democrats unite in commend
ing the choice, and hold it up as an
indication that Caucasion politicians
concede that there is in Negro leader
ship sufficient form and viTilitv to in
spire recognition The Registership
is the particularly national Office. and
as such 1t has been appropriately ten
dered to the races essentially national
character. 1t has been given TO the
races citizen-at-large and favorite SON.
