TO PREVENT LYNCHING.

The National Protective Association
of ColOred Men, which was put on foot
by ex-CongreSsman George Washing
ton Murray, of South Carolina, is hard
at work. Every week in some por-
tions of the country meetings are held
under its auspices, and new converts
added to its ranks. This organization
proposes to speak in plain words to
both the colored and white people on
the subject of lYnching.
An address is in preparation which
tells the race that the speediest way to
prevent lynChingS is to get rid of the
cause that makes such outrages posi-
BILE. This side of the question will be
brought directly to all classes of the
colored people, and in all parts of the
country, through the medium of their
churches, Sabbath schools and socie-
ties. In addition to this the State
Legislatures will be asked at every
session to pass laws, not only to pun
ish persons guilty of the crime of
lynching, but also to indemnify the
families of persons lynched. A great
deal OF favorable sentiments has been
worked up in behalf of this movement,
and number of white persons of
prominence, particularly in the South
ern states, are giving their advice and
quietly aiding the officers Of the asSo-
citation in their undertaking.

SUPT. J. P. GREEN,

From the Leavenworth Herald,
Hurrah for Greenl Ex-State Sena-
tor John P. Green Of Ohio has been
appointed to position in Washington
as superintendent of the Stamp Divis-
ION, lucrative job paying 5000 per
annum. He has several hundred su-
bornates in his office. Postmaster
General Gary is directly responsible
for the appointment of Mr.. Green, but
it is thought that President Mckinley
and Senator Hanna suggested it, as
this triumvirate worked hard for the
party's interest in Ohio before and
since the campaign. Mr.. Green is the
first Ohioan of color to be recognized
by the administration. from the fact
that he is an experienced politician,
not an experiment.

Hon. JOHN R. LYNCH.
The man who will not be defeated.
He is one of the strongest men
in Mississippi today.
THE OHIO FIGHT.

Senator Hanna has removed his
headquarters to Cleveland where
the political strings will be pulled
in the interest of party harmony
and success. There seems to be
much speculation as to the ou,-
come in Ohio, but if We are not
mistaken Senator Banna will show
that his senatorial toga will not be
in his way IN the least and that he
will get down to business in the
same systematic manner that char
acterized his splendid generalship
in the last campaign. The appar-
ent discomfort reported in many
quarters of the state will be wisely
treated and appreciated. Especia.
ly will the colored voter receive the
fair consideration which will be
calculated to draw them back into
the fold a contented element.
This would seem to be necessary
as well as expedient as the state
can hardly be carried without their
united assistance.

R REPRESENTATIVE. E.

The BEE respectfully calls the
attention of the President to the
member of the National Republi-
can Committee, representing
the District of Columbia, and asks
the question, why is it that
he is not consulted on all
questions pertaining to the Dis
trict i? Col. Parker is entitled to the
same consideration as others who
are mem bers of the National Com
mittee, where there are no men,
bers of Congress. The Annacostia
post office and indeed all postoffices
in this city should have the indorse
ment of our national committee
man. There is to be meeting Of
republicans called soon, to ratify
the selection of Col. Parker as the
member of the National Committee
to assure the President that the
republicans in this city are per-
fectly satisfied with him. Col.
Parker will certainly be the next
delegate from this city to the next
National Republican Convention.

MAJOR GEO. 81. HARRIS.

THERE'S no young man in so short
a aperiod, who has advanced and ell
evated himself above all competitors
for business success as the gentle
man who heads this column. The
resignation of Mr.. Harris as presi-
dent of the metropolitan rail road
company will no doubt prove a
serious injury to that corporation.
Major Harris is a young man of
brilliant parts, and indeed one of
the most progressive at the nations
OLpital. The citizens Of Washing
t0a hold HIM in high esteem and
will no doubt show their affection
for his services in more ways than
one.

ACTS OF BRUTES.

Washington, the capital of the ra-
ton, to which people of all sections
and classes are gathered, seems prov.
dentially selected as the field of freas-
on to arrest the attention of this active
people and cause some reflection Al
least, upon this horrid lynch Question
which threatens the very fOundatioDof
the country. The self-satisfvng
opinion that all the fiendish assaults
perpetrated in this land are the acts Of
the burly Negro, has been somewha,
weakened recently, and Washington
has furnished both victims and brutes.
and the brutes who have doneSo much
to refute the Negro theory, have not
been burly Negroes, but burly white
toughs-(burly having lost its Original
meaning, and as used by the whites.
means any Negro guilty Of any
offence.)
Within the past month, two Of
the most daring and diabOlical crim-
nal assaults have been perpetrated BY
white fends right in the midst of gIo
rious civilization, one in the light Of
day, and the other in early evening
No instance on record could Outrivai

PLEASED WITH GREEN.
From the Rising SUM-

(FrOm the Rising oun.)
Ex-State Senator John P. Green, OF
Ohio, has been appointed Superinten-
dent of the Stamp Division of the Post
Office Department. This IS one of the
most responsible positions in the Post
office Department, having as it does
several hundred employees; most of
whom, according to the Washington
BEE, are white. The appointments Of
Mr.. Green is most worthily bestowed
upon one of the ablest and most repre-
sentative men of the race, and while it
does credit to the administration, is
one which will be universally apprecia-
ted by the Negro press and people.
While Negro appointments are COM
ing painfully slow we are gratified to
know that those already made are
highly credita BILE to the race.

AN INFAMOUS CRIME.

Little Rosa Robertson who was
outraged by Patrick Carr a few
DAYS ago was one of the most dis-
bolical outrsges that has ever been
perpetrated in this country. Why is
not some white man lynched on sus-
picion? Rape should be made a cap
ital offence and the person who COM
mits it, should, upon conviction,
be strung up by the neck. Every
thing should be done to bring this
brute to justice. He should not
be allowed to escape under any cir
cumstances.
This is, indeed a crime that the
people should rise up in arms and
demand the immediate apprehen-
sion of this brute. Major Moore
will no doubt do what he can to

POSTMASTER-GENERAL
GARY.

There is no man in the country
more honored and respected by
the American Negro than Postmas-
ter General Gary. When the re-
port was circulated that Mr.. Gary
had said that it vas the policy of
the administration not to appoint
colored men to first class postoffices
in the south, 1he BEE was the first
paper to make an investigation.
The BEE said then it did not be-
lieve that President Mckinley in
dorsed what Postmaster General
Gary said-if it be true that he
said it. A representative of The
BEE called to see Postmaster Gene
raj Gary few days ago and it can
he seen from the interview which our
representative had with Mr.. Gary's
private secretary, that ne never
used the words credited to him by
Mr.. Pledger.
When we consider the fact that
Mr.. Pledger was candidate Tor
the Jamaica Consulship and was
defeated, we can readily SEQ ~
Mr.. Pledger should lsk the ad-
ministration in a false attitude be-
fore the public.
The Washington bee., 1897-07-31
LYNCHING w. RAPIST.

1t may be very distasteful to the
people of this c,>untry when per-
son is lyncheG t.,r an attempt or an
actual outrage committed upon a
family, but, when we consider
how painful it is to witness a
daughter of ours suffering with
pain, caused by rapist, it should
not be surprising to see such a
person strung to tree with a rope
around his neck and with bullet
holes in his body. When raping
ceases, we are confident that lynch
ing will cease. We commend the
action of the colored ministers of
Richmond, Va. That is the proper
course to persue.

A COLORED DEMOCRAT
DECLARES FOR MCKINLEY.

Mr.. {. z. CURTIS, WILL STUMP The
STATE OF Iowa FOR THE REPrs,
LICANS.
Mr. c. c. Curtis, who has been 4
long life democrat, but who supported
President Mckinley in the last election
will leave the city shortly to take q
hand in the Iowa campaign Among
other things, Mr.. Curtis said, that he
can see no reason for colored repuO-
liCans boiling the republican party
that President Mckinley is dong
nicely for the colored man and will %
more if he is permitted. The colofelg1
man is kicking too soon and he Elb
see his mistake before this admins
tration is out.
Mr.. Curtis is also of the opinion tnal
Iowa will go republican. The Person.
al Liberty League of which Mr.. Gurus
is president will be brought into llneiol
the party. This league numbers ov:.
five hundred members. Mr.. Cufl'
speaks in the higest terms Of the losS ,@
delegation and says that this rePuOn-
can delegation and other republican, ,.,
OF his state have proven their hhel"i
to the negro.

HE DID NOT OBJECT.
(From the Afro-American.)

The appointment of ex-State Senator
John p. Green. of Ohio, does not lay
at the door of Hon. James A. Gary,
Postmaster General of the United
States of America. This appointment
is due to President Mckinley. We be-
lieve that the statement creited to Mr..
Gary, by Col. Pledger, of Georgia, is
true. The appointment of Mr.. Gary to
the position he now holds has never
caused US to go into extacies.
For the benefit of our cOntem-
porary we beg leave to say that Mr..
Gary was as much in favor Of Mr..
Green's appointment as the Presi-
dent.
The Washington bee., 1897-07-31
SENATOR HANNA.

Whatever may be the faults of
Senator Hanna, there is one thing
certain, he has done all in his
power to build up the republican
party. There should be no fight
against him in Ohio, for the reason
that he has been and is now SIN
cere and honest. The BEE III
common with many of his friends
and friends to good government
want to see him win in Ohio.
Every republican in this country
should lend his aid IN returning
Mr.. Hanna to the Senate.
The Washington bee., 1897-07-31
A WOR q OMOTION.

The promotion of Mr.. Daniel b.
Murray to the position of chief
librarian of the periodical division,
is worthy promotion and from
the prediction of The BEE that the
administration will deal fairly to-
ward the colored man is being Veri-
fed.
We congratulate Librarian Young
for this substantial recognition of
our young townsman Mr.. Murray.
The Washington bee., 1897-07-31
FELL IN HIS OWN DITCH.

Perhaps some of the southern
politicians will see in digging
bitches for others, that it is dan
gerous thing to do. Well, Pres
ident Mckinley was informed by
some of these "know it all, D." that
certain men had no influence in
the party, and should not be ap-
pointed to positions. Since their
attack on other men, they have
applied for positions Of honor and
t-ust, but it seems now that the
President is not inclined to reward
these informers.
The of the port of
New Orleans has gone, Demas gets
a plum, also does Kimberley.
This leaves certain Mississippi gen.
tlemen, who were so active against
one of the most representative col
ored men, in the race in the soup.
The BEE predicted last week that
certain gentlemen in Mississippi
were knocked out and it has been
demonstrated that they are not so
warm after all, although they
thought they had their man
