oUR SEVENTEENTH YEAR.

This day The WASHINGTON BEE
enters into its seventeenth year. 1t
has seen many flowers fade. 1t has
written many obituaries of false
prophets, who have on many occa-
sions predicted its death We have
fearlessly exposed wrong doing and
condemned wrongs against the de-
serving. Neither judges of courts
or Presidents of the United States
have escaped condemnation when
they deserved it. The offer of Of
flee has been no inducement to US
nor has threatened incarsaratlon
stayed the hand against corrupt
officials who used their offices to
corrupt the morals of the commu-
nifty.
We have found in the proud
Caucasian a friendly ally and
supporter. He has seen in The BEE
such merits that have commended
it as ,an advertising medium and
an honest advocate of those princi
Piles which honest people appreciate.
We are steadily advancing i'll the
art of journalism and hope some
day to be upon an equal footing
with the progressive journals in
this country. Our opinions aud
comments have been quoted by
some of the leading journals of the
country for which we feel assured
that what we said commanded the
attention of men far superior to
ourselves in the art of journalism
and thought.
To our many thousands of pa
irons white and colored, the man.
agement thall ever remember, with
gratitude the support and encour
agement that have been tend cred q
struggling journal. We hope,
however, within a few months to
have daily BEE and school Of
printing for the colored youths.

KINDERGARTEN.

There is great need for the in
PRODUCTION of the kindergarten IN
our public schools. Such an ins.i-
tuition would add greatly to the
efficiency of the system and relieve
the teachers of the lower grades OF
much time and trouble. But the
kindergarten teacher should be the
very best in quality and selected
with great care by the trustees.
The crop which has been train
ed in ''colored classes" and under
doubtful tutelege, presumably to
supply our schools. should be look
ed upon merely as so many candl-
dates and not as possessing any
preferred claims upon our schools.
If the young ladies have been mis-
led into the hope that they would
be appointed, the blame is to fall
upon those who have so inspired
them. 1t is possible to find among
the "colored class" pupils with
the ability necessary. in which case
they ought not be ignored, but
classes mustured under conditions,
which tend to contract them NOR
ally and mentally are not the ones
from which we are to expect the
best results. Kindergarten training
is helpful to the individual and II
1t bears no other fruit, it is worth
the time and study. But "coIored
classes" are not the best gardens IN
which to propagate the most fully
developed flowers.

GENERAL NEWS.

There is general talk among min.
iSters and others about places ofresort
and recreation, and regret most SER.
ously the unfortunate state of affairs
among the steam boat operators u,bo
have invested so much to their own
financial destruction.
Mr.. James Johnson of South Wash.
ington, who is we'll known to all Al the
national Capitol, being a life long
member of the City Post-office corpS
and of the Protestan Episcopal church
is again making his convictions re.
sponsibility and best wishes of his
many friends, equal another effort for
an espied Episcopal church, through a
nucleus now being formed
In answer to an inquiry of the posi-
bility, he said yes decidedly so, it not
only can be done, but ought to be
done. East and North Washington
have their Epincopal, Catholic and
Lutheran churches, and Why not
South Washington with her vast pop
ulation have one Episcopal church,
At the time of our first failure, we
had no bishop in Washington and only
a few friends, but we have now, a
bishop and many friends.
The corner stone laying at the Ma

TREACHERY OF NEGRO
ATTORNEYS.

The question has often been
asked why it is that some colored
attorneys cannot succeed better
than they do? 1t is a very easy
question to answer, if one would
only stop to consider that some Of
them, while they are good lawyers,
lack good morals and honesty.
These, more than anything else,
are the impediments to the success
of many colored members Of the
bar. There are some honorable
and upright members of the bar,
and there are some others who are
more fit for the "farm" and asso-
clates of blacklegs. If there ever
were allies to cut-throats, you can
find them among some men calling
themselves lawyers. Some of them
do nothing but blackguard one an
other to clients who may be look
ing for brother lawyer. If they
don't do that, they will take case
for twenty-five cents; in fact, there
are many who will take cases for
nothing, for the sake of hav-
ing it said that they are prac.
ticing. The Court has endeavored
to dignity the profession by making
certain rules against "cappers''
who have done much 10 cast asper-
sion on the legal profession. For
this, and many other reasons the
Negro attorney is barred from the
bar association. The shyster law
yer hangs around the courts, while
the real dignified attorney waits
for cases to come to him. There
is a great deal of deception among
many of them, whose stock in trade
is to misrepreseut facts to their
clients. The business among some
of the honest lawyers is to great
extent injured by the trickery and
dishonesty of few others who do
not seem to care what they do.
1t is hoped that the people will
not Judge all lawyers of color alike.
The lawyer who guarantees in
advance the success of any case

NOT SURPRISING.
From the Denver, (Col.,) Statesman.

From the Denver, (Col.,) Statesman.
When the first colored delegate
from Colorado to republican nation
al convention can hold down the
whole delegation and then be reward
ed with janitorship, we must pause
to weep.
That is nothing. Eleven color
ed delegates from Texas, allowed
one white man to vote them as he
wanted and the remaining negro
delegates with others combined
placed a white man on the nation
al committee who subsequently ap-
pointed all white men to every Of
fee in the state, The Texas ne
groes are now wondering whether
they are dead or alive. The latest
report is that they are all dead,
but hope to resurrect in 1900.

THINGS ABROAD.

The war seems to be absorbing
public interest. The question now
is, how are things going abroad :
And we are deeply interested In
that regard, and hope and look for
brilliant and complete victories for
the stars aud stripes. But soon,
attention will be turned toward
politics as means of securing men
to leglslate for the war and other
things. At that time the colored
man will be called upon to vote
and he will not be inclined to for
get who his friends are. The lead
pencil may still prove to be
mightier than the sword.

THE NORTH AND SOUTH.

The disposition ON the part of
Mr.. Mckinley to seek the recon
ciliation of the North and South
by literally dispensing shoulder
straps to ex-Rebel as we'll as ex.
Union soldiers. is certainly to be
commended. The unifcation of
all of the elements which make up
this composite nation, is essential
to the peace, happiness. prosperity
and psrpetu1ty of the Republic,
and there is no more opportune
time to bring discordant elements
into harmony than at time when
the country is being assailed by a
foreign power For purposes of
defense as well as the welding of
the sections in sympathy and inter-
est, this recognition is another
exhibition of the wisdom displayed
by Mr.. Mckinley. But aside from
the race sympathy and interests
involved in the matter, there are
moral considerations which should
not be overlooked or discarded.
Up to the present time there has
been no effort to give the colored
citizen the recognition which is
commensurate with his ardent
patriotism, party fidelity and gen.
eral loyalty. He is not given the
same opportunity offered to the
whites. This delay may not be
due to any spirit of unkindness on
the part of the present admins
tration; but may be, and probably
is the result of a morbid spirit
of hatred and prejudice man
ifested by the southern white
man and the southern press.
The colored citizen is loyal enough,
but uniform and spiteful discrim-
ination based on color is not the
best means of stimulating patriot
ism. 1t is hoped that Mr.. McKin-
ley will display broad statesman
ship and philanthrophy and moral
heroism, as well as plain fairness
toward the black allies, and despite
the hateful prejudices which are
besetting him, place the colored
soldier in such an attitude toward
the government as will develop a
higher appreciation of the institu
tions which surround him and
high regard for our President.
The men who are clamoring
against the claims of the colored
man, were once found battering
down the bulwarks Of liberty and
attempting to forever destroy the
nation.

1T MAKES NO DIFFERENC CE.

HISTORY records that there are
at least few white men in the
South who have the courage to do
the square thing by the colored
people. One of the very few In
stances recorded, is the action OF
Gov. Russell of North Carolina, to
not only raise regiment of colored
soldiers, bat also to officer the regl-
ment from colonel down to SER
geant with colored men. Hitherto,
we have been induced to believe
that only southern democrats were
the true friends Of the race, but
the Misrepresentation will no
longer stand, for the reason that
the governor of North Carolina Is
a republican of the most pro-
nouuced sort. Some Of our demo-
cratic friends tell us that the gov
ernor was actuated by purely polit-
ical motives. They say that in
his heart he is our enemy and is
simply using the Negro vote as a
stepping-stone to secure his own
elevation. This kind of talk used
to go but it does not go now. We
have come to learn that empty pro-
fession cannot stand for anything
but hypocrisy, and that the only
way to prove friendship is by per-
forming acts of friendship in no
doubtful way. 1t may be that the
action of the governor was advised
by the leading colored men of the
State. Hon, Geo. III. White, III.
p. Cheatham, Dancy and Young,
have been working to secure recog-
milton in the army as officers, and
they have succeeded admirably
And right here it would not be out
Of place to drop the suggestion that
if the so called leaders who are
loafng around Washington waiting
for the few crumbs which might
fall from the Presidents table,
would 60 home and do their utmost
toward securing recognition for
colored soldiers IN their respective
States, the result would be far
different and more satisfactory
All honor to the Governor of North
Carolins, and the noble colored
men who urged him to his just act.
That the example may be followed
by other governors north and south,
to the end that the boasted land of
the free and home Of the brave
shall emphasize the brotherhood of
man is the hope of all well thinking
people. 1t makes no difference
what the motive of the governor
was-let Others exercise similar
motives.
