MAKE OLD DRESSES NEW
DIAMOND DYES THE SIMPLEST
AND EASIEST WAY OF HOME
DYEING.

Their Great Superiority Over All Othei
Ways Of Home DyeIng-A Ten Cent
Package Will Color From One
Five Pounds of Goods-Colors Tha,
Will Not Wa Out in Strong Soap
suds.
Success in home dyeing depends
wholly upon the kind of dyes
used. With Diamond Dyes, If the
simple directions on the package are
followed carefully, and the special
dyes for colt n are used for cotton and
mixed goods, and the wool dyes used
for woolen, there is absolutely no
chance of failure.
Diamond Dyes are very simple and
easy to use, and by using a stick to
lift the goods while in the dye bath,
there is no need of soilng the hands.
For beauty, brilliancy and fastness, no
other dye stuffs, whether for home use
or for the dye shop, equal the Dia-
mond. The latest scientific discover
les are used in their manufacture,
they are guaranteed the strongest and
fastest of all known dyes, and their
solid colors will not wash out in the
strongest soapsuds, nor will they fade
when exposed to the sunlight
Try Diamond dyes ohce, and see how
easy it is to maze old and faded
dresses, waists, ribbons, coats, etc :,
look like new.

OUR SCHOOLS.

The schools are about to close,
and we pause to reflect upon their
work. Many questions arise at
this time. Are the schools, under
their present management, calcu-
lated TO secure the highest ends for
which they were founded Has
the curriculum been adapted to the
needs of our colored youth? Has
sufficient care been displayed in
the selection of text books? Has
there been abso. ute fairness in
awarding merit, and in passing
students from one grade to an
other, from the High to the
Normal school? Have abuses been
corrected ? Has the moral discip
line been elevated If these ques-
tions can be properly and favor
ably answered then we may con-
gratulate ourselves that our pupils
have passed through such discip-
linary regime as will render them
intelligent and useful, and insure
for them sure place amid the act
iv;ties of the world, while the
parents can bless the institution
which has wrought such salutary
results. If, on the contrary, we
cannot answer these questions in
the interests of proper education,
we have every reason to urge more
vigorous and enlightened activity
among our educators. Special at
tention should be called to the
selection of suitable text books, for
it is possible to adopt books which
are in no way acceptable to our
youth, though they may not be
Objectionable to the whites. Let
our trustees look to this and cor
rect errors which OH account OF
indifference or ignorance have crept
into our schools.

Of their country. We here hurl
back the lie to those who have had
the temerity to charge the colored
man with disloyalty or q full share
of true Americanism and warn our
would be traducers that a base
misrepresentation Is in its nature
reactionary as well as unpatrotic,
unjust aud un-American. We de-
clare that we are just as true to
the cause of liberty and social
advancement as any of the editors
who are attempting to prejudice
the public mind with their edi-
torial hog wash and predict that
the colored man will be at the
front when our bowling traducers
are skulking behind the bulwark
of their editorials sanetum or are
safely protected by a certificate of
substitution. When we 60 to war
we want to 60 as men and not
a. servants, as citizens not as mere
denizens and panoplied with all
the guarantees which charao' erize
the coming soldier. This war il
prosecuted in the interest of
broad humanity and those editors
who are constantly attempting to
belittle the colored people are the
traitors to the cause Of humanity
and the enemies of mankind.
When the President indicates his
desire to have the colored soldier
in the field and vouchsafe to him
the recognition which the spirit OF
the times demands our unfriendly
editors will he aroused from their
swinish trance into realization that
the colored man is true to his his
tory and has not merited gratul,
tous contumely.

UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD.

Men are born and always continue
free and equal in respect TO their
rights. Civil distinction therefore can
and should be founded only on public
utility. The end of all political associ-
alton is the preservation of the natural
and imprescriptible rights of our man
and these rights are liberty property,
security and resistance of oppression.
The nation is essentially the source
of all soveignty, nor can any individ-
ual, or leaders Of men be entitled to
any authority which is not expressly
derived from it. The emigrants to
New England, under the main impulse
of spirit of religion, by a desire to
enjoy in peace, their mode of worship,
and to spread the gospel; the emigrants
to New York and Virginia chiefly to
tender the influence of spirit of com
merce by love of adventure, or the
hope of opening new paths oftrade and
the founders of Maryland, Pennsylva-
MIA, Georgia by the ambition to form
new states and all the colonists, de.
sired to benefit their condition.
There are certain evidences in the
open register of life today pointing to
a danger as deep and as wide as the
social influence itself, a danger which
if not presently checked and DESTROY
ed will drive the world into one of
those calactysms with which histor-
ians round their sonorous periods and
in which all the gains of a system oi
civilization governed by slow and
safe economy are lost in riot and the
lawyers luxury of social irresponsiblity
We say that science is broadening our
vision and enlarging our knowledge oi
ways and means and so il is, but are we
growing wiser with our knowledge

A WORTHY OBJECT.

Chicago, June 10th, 1898.
Editor of The BEE:
Dear Sir:
A movement has been set on foot
by some of the citizens of Chicago and
also a number of prominent citizens
throughout the United States to or
ganize an association to be known as
"The National Colored Soldiers and
Sailors Monument Association of the
United States" The aim, object and
purpose of this association is to erect
a monument in one of the public parks
in the city Of " ashington, ID. c., in
honor of the memory of the colored
soldiers and sailors who fell in the war
of 1861 and also those thirty brave
colored sailors who lost their lives on
the battleship "Maine" in Havana
Harbor in 1898.
/ am of the opinion that this would
be one of the greatest events of the
age before the nineteenth century
passes away. We as a race of people
owe this TO the memory of those brave
heroes who sacrificed their lives in de-
fense of national honor.
Will you cooperate with US in such
a laudible movement? Let me hear
from you soon.
Yours respectfully,
John G.. Jones,

surmise. We are further informed
by the Post that this is a white
mans government. Why is this a
white mans government any more
than any other nationality? The
Post, like many white people in
authority we know, never see the
use of Negro until he is wanted
to be used. The Post might as
well satisfy itself to tie extent
that the Negro was brought here
against his will and goes against his
will if necessity calls for it. The
Post might as well accept the situ-
alton: the Negro will he general
or colonel in the existing war be-
tween the United States and
Spain.
