THE BRUCE FAMILY.

Mr.. Will Harris in the Leaven-
worth Herald takes a whole gang
of little cur dogs by the neck and
shakes the stuffin " out of them
for their persistent barking at the
heels of the Bruce family. The
poor little ours are unworthy of
Mr. Harris steel they injure no
body but themselves by their bark
ing. They are simply paying this
family the compliment which the
traditional dog paid the moon when
lying upon its back it bayed hat
great orb of light until its master
kicked it into its kennel. The
Bruce family have the happy fac
nlty of ding to their own bus
iness, utilizing their opportunities
and helping others whenever they
can. If they, beginning life with
few advantages, have overtaken
.and distauced millions of compet-
itors, it is because they possess
what is called "sand" in larger
measures than those with whom
they have contended. Like the
Shermans, the Adams and other
noted American families, they have
kept themselves in the front rank
of life by deserving to be there.
If they have climbed higher than
others, they have built their own
ladders. If they have travelled
faster than hers, they have made
their own road.
They have always stoo | squarely
for the race and have done much
to advance its good name and fame
among the people of the world.
We beg Mr.. Harris to be merci-
full TO the little ours, for they know
not what they do.
The Washington bee., 1897-01-01
MANAGER BERGEN.

Mr.. James G.. Bergen has been
wronged. He has been outraged
and held up to the world as man
who has committed a crime. He
has mitted no crime. The wo-
man he swore before the altar to
honor and protect brands him to-
day as monster.
Mr.. Bergen is an honest man ;
he is patriot, true husband and
a man who has been outraged and
almost murdered
The country should not con-
denim him. He has fulfilled every
obligation, not only his sacred
vows at the altar, but in the busi-
ness world
He has been true and faithful
husband a man who has given to
an Afro American woman fame,
honor and reputation. No one
knows as we do, the tolls, trials
and hardships this man has gone
through with. The BEE will say,
and it challenges contradiction,
that Mr.. Bergen is wronged
man.
Be patient, let truth and justice
be vindicated.
Manager Bergen is at the Ma
onal Soldiers Home, Hampton,
where he will remain
until his health is restored and
when he returns to active life,
which we hope will be soon, "Na-
ture will look up and say to the
world, this is a man."

CATCH GRASS HOPPERS IF
YOU DON'T WANT TO
DIG POTATOES.
(From the Topeka Weekly Caff%

(From the Topeka Weekly Caff%
In a recent paper which appeared in
this paper, we called attention to the
fact that Kansas possessed abundant
recordership timber, and urged the
representative colored men of the
State to get move on themselves to
the end that we might keep Kansas
man in the place now held by c. H. J.
TAYLOR of this State. to which article
the Washington BEE takes umbrage,
and advises those of this State who
dare aspire to this position to take a
pick and shovel and go digging for
Irish potatoes and further that they
the people of Washington-have had
enough of Kansas, etc. Now, colonel,
what is the trouble with the Negroes
of Kansas What do you think we
are here tora If you think they will
down at your beckon you are very
much mistaken in your estimate, and
your disparaging remarks will not in
the least damage their ardor, but will
urge them on to show you people who
entertain these spurious views that we
can line up and produce man of the
many we have who is the peer of any
that we have yet heard mentioned or
will hear Of We will not enumerate,
but suffice it to say that although the
Kansas Negroes are farmers, etc, we
advise you to keep safe distance, as
from their digging they may throw
dirt in your eyes, and by the time you
have cleared that therefrom you will
see KanSan landed in the Recorder
ship at your city, Washington, D. {.
There is a great deal to matter.
There is no place in this town for
| any Kansas Negroes. If you don't
want to dig potatoes and plow your
ground, take our advice and catch
grasshoppers, because you will
make more time and headway than
you will by applying for the Re-
cordel ship.
If Editor Bass would Only devote
a little of his time in getting the
Negroes of Kansas together and
concentrate their forces on State
| issues and elective State offices, he
would be doing service. You will
never get the Recordership for any
Negro in Kansas, SO go to work and
catch grasshoppers, as we said be-
fore.

THE MAN AND HIS WORK
From the New York Age.)

The Washington BEE speaks O
Booker T. Washington in the follow
ing way:
T'he editor of The Age is of the
opinion that we do not understand MIR.
Booker T. Washington. Oh! yes.
He is a money making machine for the
Tuskegee Institute and an Afro Am
erican apologist.
1t is necessary to conduct his work
at Tuskegee that Mr.. Washington
should be a money-making machine,
He has 900 students unde" his care
he has 200 people on his pay roll; he
has to raise nearly every year 500, ,ooO
to keep his gigantic work in operation.
The State of Alabama contributes but
$4,000 to the work; all the remainder
has to be raised in the North. The
fact that he raises it and keeps the
work going is his chief title to fame,
and glorious title it is.
AS to 1.-The Afro American apollo
pist" gag: Let the editor of THE
BEE define what he means by it. We
suppose he means that Mr.. Washing
ton paints the race as 1t is and not as
he wishes it was. We have reached
the point where the loud mouthed glo-
rifcation of the race, to the utter OBJ
scuration of its shortcomings, should
have a rest. We must be honest with
ourselves. We are not all saints.
The editor of the New York
Age asserts with a great deal vf
pusto that it takes $10o, 900 to
The Washington bee., 1897-01-01

Editor Fortune who seems to
have it in for Ex-senator Bruce
would no doubt be pleased to know
that the refusal of man to indorse
him for a place should not carry
with it perpetual prejudice. We
dislike very much to differ from our
esteemed contemporary, but when
personal pique IS to be satisfied it
is hard to say when it will end.
