MAKE THE BLACK VOTE
A FACTOR"

Elsewhere, in this paper, will be
seen letter from the Negro Con-
gressional Club to the chief of the
colored democracy, at the time,
against two colored republicans.
This is the method, that this and
similar negro democratic associa-
tlons would adopt to have colored
republicans removed from Office.
There are several of these men
now in Office namely: NJ. S.Koonce,
whose name appears at sec
retary, J. 7. e. Newsome, clerk
in the Pension Office, and two
weeks>ago we published the name
Of E. L. Dawkins, secretary of the
Afro-American Bureau of Organi-
cation of the Democratic Congress
sional Committee. Dawklns is in
the Treasury department, but de-
clares now that he never was a ne
gro democrat. 1t can be seen that
these negro democrats made it very
warm for colored republicans, who
have never attempted to disturb al
legged colored democrats. These are
the methods adopted to make the
black vote a factor, by having col
ored republicans dismissed.
Special attention is called to this
letter, because the readers of The
BEE should know the methods of
the colored democrats to oust re-
pu blicans.

JUSTIFYING A CRIME.

The recent lynchlng of colored
young man in Alexandra, Va,
was no doubt one of the most cow
ardly that could have been perpe-
trated. Right in sight of the Cap
itol of the Nation, for men, who
call themselves good and law
abiding citizens, to perpetrate such
a deed is an outrage.
Was the man guilty of rape ?
Did he commit any act that was
opposed by the party on whom it
was committed? Men who commit
crime should be punished, but,
when women mutually consent To
do a thing, as it is believed in the
Mccoy case, his lynching was un-
justifable and the perpetrators
of the deed should be punished.
The lynchers showed their cow
ardice when they imagined that a
mob had assembled to avenge the
killing of Mccoy.

A PERPETUAL CANDIDATE.

Grover Cleveland, the perpetual
candidate for the presidency, in a
recent speech denounced therepub-
lican party for not keeping faith
with the American people on the
money question. Cleveland is
making bid for the presidency in
1900, but he will never toucn bot
tom. If there ever was a failure,
as President of the United States,
Cleveland was that one.
The republican party doesn't
want him and the silver party
would not have him. He sees the
hand writing on The wall, and this
lump of egotism and conceit
should give the country rest.

THE NEW RECORDER OF
DEEDS.

President Mckinley has decided
to appoint ex-Congressman Cheat
than to the office Of Recorder OF
Deeds for the District of Columbia.
Mr.. Cheatham, while a non resi-.
dent, is highly respected citizen
of North Carolina, and a man Of
ability 1t can be said, that he
will, when he assumes charge in
stitute reforms that are greatly
needed in that Office. There will,
no doubt, be objections raised
to Mr.. Cheatham, simply because
he is nonresident, but aside
from that nothing can be said
against his honesty and integrity.
Up to short time ago, it was well
settled that Mr.. Green, of Ohio,
would receive the appointment !;
but, on account of certain political
complications, the President has
made up his mind to appoint Mr..
Cheatham. If the President thinks
it best to appoint him, we don't
know of a man who is more compe-
tent for the office than he is.
MIR. Cheatham's career in con-
gress was a success and no man
worked harder for his constituents
than he did.
His name will 60 to the Senate
in few days.

A BAD PRACTICE.

1t seems to be the practice in
some of our courts, if man on the
jury has an opinion of his own and
dares to express it by hanging the
jury, he is seldom called by the
government in any other case. Is
this not bad practice Very often
eleven men are wrong and the one
man, who hangs out for acquittal,
is right.
There should be a law enacted
to keep the doings of jury secret.
No person should be allowed to
state how one or the other voted on
a case that may be given them. 1t
is bad practice.

THE PEOPLES GUARDIANS.

Whatever opinion some people
have had of the negro, The BEE
can say without contradiction, that
the criminal record in this town
doesn't record a crime against a
coIored officer, the peoples guard
ian, like the one to which officer
James E. Pierce was called before
the court to plead on last Tuesday.
Officer Pierce may be guilty, and
there are others who may be con-
necetd with him, and if The crime is
fastened on him and any of his as
sociates, what will the people do
Will they say that all thieves are
negroes? or will they say that no
colored man, who has been invested
with the authority of law. to pro-
tect the peoples homes, would be
guilty of such?
The crime of Pierce, presents a
. lesson. 1t shows that Col.
TruesdeIl, who hal charge Of the
Police Department was right in his
strict discipline of police officers.
1t will compel the Commission
ers to force officers to give bond
for the faithful discharge of their
official duties.
The alleged offense of Pierce
doesn't say that all officers on the
force would be guilty of what is al
legged against officer Pierce.
No man regrets the action of this
officer, more than Major Moore,
who has ma e every effort to discl-
pline the men under him, and no
man has endeavored to build up
the Police Department more than
Col Truesdell.
What a sad spectacle is this for
"the peoples guardians -

HON. GEO. H. WHITE.

Speaker Thomas B. Reed, has it
in his power to show to the colored
people of this country, what he
thinks of them. The BEE makes
this suggestion: In the make up of
the several committees, the ap-
pointment of Hon. Geo. 81. White,
to the Craftsmanship of the Com
mittee on the District of Colum bia,
would be a handsome recognition.
Mr.. White is a true representative
of the colored people of this coun-
try and there is no reason why he
should not be recognized as one OF
the heads of committee.
We need such a man chairman
of our District committee, because
we have such a large number OF
colored people in this city who are
in need of true representative to
watch and advance their interests.
Mr.. Reed will find Mr.. White an
active and harL worker and the
people of this city will feel highly
gratifed, if such a man is gwen
the Craftsmanship. MIR. White is
the only colored Representative in
Congress and man of wide e1-
perience in public affairs. He is
brilliant lawyer, who is respected
by the highest tribunal in the state
of North Carolina.
The people look to Mr.. Reed to
give their representative recognl-
ton.

NOT IN IT.
from The Wide Awake Bslletin.l

From The Wide Awake Bulletinl
Well, Brother Chase we don't know
so much about that, how can you
tell? the average negro sees his doom
in the not far distant future, unless
he hustles and that quick, for himself
to say that he is doing that is only
mild hint.
Its given out that Hon. Judson
LYONS colored lawyer OF Augusta,
is to be appointed postmaster OF that
city we hope its only true, but 1t seems
that its the object of the white papers
of Georgia to prejudice the admins
tration, il possible, before the appoint
ment can be made.
Yes, the negro is doomed and it
serves him right. He is a political
coward. The colored republicans
in the South, who have no faith in
their own leadership have placed
white men in control, the white
men who have been made political
factors in the South, were made so
by the colored voters. The white
man has been smart enough to
make the colored man apply for of.
fee out side of his own State,
while the white man gets the plums
in his own State.
Until the negro organizes and
make himself factor, so long will
the white man keep him "hewer
of wood and a drawer of water"

DOGS BARKING.

There are several kinds of dogs
in this country that are very valu-
able. A well bred dog does but
little, if any, barking The COM
monest dog, known to the dog
kingdom, is the cur dog. A cur
dog will bark at everything. 1t is
his nature to bark.
These are the kind of dogs that
are continually barking at Prof

LET THEM PROTEST.

The beautiful white citizens OF
Augusta, Ca, are to protest against
Col. J. W. Lyons, who is to be ap-
pointed pos master at Augusta, GA.
Col. Lyons is colored gentle
man, handsome and more highly
educated than men who may oppose
his appointment.
Postmaster Gsary is man of
nerve and will no doubt appoint
Col. Lyons. Let them protest as
it will not be long before all negro
hating white men will be in a
warmer climate.

Over the Teacups.

Dainty women are seldom as attrac-
tive as they are in their beruffied neg
liges. Negliges are very elaborate this
season. They are built of silk. cash
mere, Grape and flannel. Many are
made to hang loose from yohes and
others are slightly fitted to the figure.
Box plaits are also in vogue. a chic
model of light blue silk has three plaits
in the back and three in the front.
The neck is finished with a lace ruffie
and lace completes the sleeves, which
are a trife larger than the regular
frock sleeves. Wash silks of all kinds
make attractive house jackets. A
lavender and white silk is built with a
short yoke; from it falls the loose
jacket. A collar of the silk edged with
lace continues down the front, becom-
ing narrower as it descends. Wash
flannel is desirable material for Iegli-
ges, especially in an unclean city. A
dainty model of pink flannel is built
on the lines of a Norfolk Jacket Uu-
der each plat at the line of the waist
is ribbon, which confines the garment
to the figure. The neck and sleeves
are finished with Irish lace. Flannel
jackets are also made like a japanese
kimono, only they end a little below
the waist. Pink and white striped
flannel makes the garment, and it is
edged down the reyeEs and the loose
sleeves with a band of plain pink
Long negliges were never so elaborate.
They are founced with lace almost to

--latest By Wire-Local Notes

Chicago, Nov. 9.-The executive of
hcers of the western roads had another
conference here today on the freight
rate situation. The practicability of
bringing about a restoration of all rates
which have been reduced below regu-
lar tariff, was discussed at considerable
length tonight, but in view of the posi-
ton maintained by the southwestern
railroads in regard to rates to and
from gulf ports, the conclusion was
reached that nothing could be done at
present TO adjust matters. The opinion
was freely expressed that until some
change is effected in the law, as it has
been declared to be by the supreme
court of the United States. there
is little probability of rates being main
tanned on permanent basis.
Earnings and expenses of the Oregon
Short Line for the month of September
were as follows:
Gross earnings, S534,590, against s4S3,-
1fS Tor the same month last year; in
crease, $51.412. Operating expenses,
SSS6,9o9, against $3.50, 1867 last year: de-
crease, $16,95S Net earnings. S197, 6S1
against $l29, 81 last year; increase. sos
80 From July l to Sept. 80 gross
earnings were S1,595, 346, against 1.O7S,-

S62IS41, against $371,S11 last year; in
crease, $256.030
Passenger traffic on the western roads
is rapidly increasing. Late reports show
that recent earnings are far in advance
OF those of the corresponding period
last year. The Improvement noted is
not confined to any particular class of
business. It is pretty equally divided
between local and through traffic

WADE HAMPTON.
Ex-Railroad Commissioner Submits
His Last Renn-,t

His Last Report
Washington, Nov general Wade
Hampton, who has just been succeeded
by General LOngstreet as commissioner
OF railroads, has submitted to the inter
Tor department his report for the past
fiscal year.
He says that the year marked the
low water mark of railway construc-
ton. During the year 81 companies
with SAL miles of road, passed into the
hands of the courts, and SIS others pre-
Viously placed in receiverShip were sold
at foreclosure.
\ steady improvement in railroad
earnings during the first six months
OF the current year is noted, an i'm
provement particularly apparent in the
bOnd-aided Pacific railroads. The out
look in the west generally for the pres
ent year is reported very encouraging
General Hampton, though discounting
any attempt TO criticize the course of
the government in the Union Pacific
matter, says he has always believed
that a settlement more advantageous
TO the government could be obtained if
ell the companies, particularly the
Union Pacific and Central Pacific
could be negotiated with at the same
time through a commission to be ap-
pointed by the president, and possibly
all in the same way, than by settling at
different times and on a different basis.
Government ownership or operating I'M
der government supervision, he says.
would be not only doubtful but a dan
gerous experiment, which probably
would result disastrously to the govern
ment
