CLERK POTTS.

Both Judges Scott and klmball
have decided TO retain Chief Clerk
potts. This Is wise conclusion to
winch they have come. Mr.. Potts
ls an ex-soldler and d republican,
aud competent and accommodate
ing official. At the time Mr., Potts
took charge, the recorus Of The Po-
lice Court were in bad conditlon
which required time, labor and
patience to rectify. The retention
of Mr.. Potts is certainly gratifying
to his hundreds of friends and ad-
mirers and both judges are to be
congratulated. 1t is hoped now
ever, that the judges will appoint
one colored balliff. The colored
people are entitled to some recogni-
ton in tha direction.

FRENCH JUSTICE.

The conviction of Zola by a
French court is a surprise to al
America. The fact that France is
a repnUlle and is supposed to be
based upon principles of justice,
freedom and equality, led all repub-
licans to believe that Zola would
obtain justice. But French justice
seems ia have fed to british beasts
for the verdict is simply an express
sion of the prejudice and race hate
of an uninformed and inferior mob.
1t is to be hoped that reaction
will set in and by some means un-
do the injustice which has been in
ficted uro on a worthy and able man.

DISTRICT SUFFRAGE.

Until there is a change in our
present system of government.
The condition of the colored peo-
pie will be no better. The people
have no rights that the authorities
are bound to respect. This Dis
trict is the dumping ground Tor
the politicians and to-day the resi-
dents have no show whatever for
official recognition. We are in
need of government by and for the
people. The trustees and land sharks
and bond holders are grinding the
life out of the people. We are in
need of qualified suffrage if nothing
else,

is OUR PULPIT LIBERAL! |!

While it is true we have some
liberal minded men in the pulpit,
yet We are free to say that they are
not liberal enough. Our pulpit
should get away from the old hea-
then paths and enlarge their views
on questions that will advance the
interests of the people. There are
some ministers in South Washing
ton who have done a great deal to
bring about reform and should be
given credit for what they have
done. While Rev. Howard is enti-
tied to the credit of instituting re-
forms in his section of the city. he
can 60 further and instruct his
people to unite in business enter
prises that will cement his people.
The pulpit can do great deal in
that direction. Its influence is
almost as powerful as the press.
There are some very influential
men among us who are doing great
good in advancing the race. Rev.
Walter III. Brooks, Geo. w. and
James ii. Lee, W. Bishop John.
son, VIM. Gibbons, j. Anderson
Taylor, Francis j. Grimke, oterl
ing NJ. Brown, w. B. Wiseman and
many others who seem to have the
interest of their people at heart.
We need broad liberal minded men
in the pulpit and men who will
not cater to the whims of popular
sentiment.

THE NEGRO AND CUBA.

The United States may play the
coward in the Maine explosion by
the Cubans, but whether it does or
not the American negro must look
to his own interest aad protection.
A government that claims to be
unable to protect its own citizens
against mob law and political vlo-
lence will certainly not ask the
negroes to take up arms against I.
foreign government.
The colored man is beginning to
learn some sense and will cease
jumping after "glittering generals -
and imaginary inducements or ad-
ventures from political parties. As
matter Of fact the democrats as
whole will not tolerate the negro
and it is becoming so that the
republicans will sooner or later
shift the responsibility of carrying
him, but will no doubt use him
to advance their own interest.
The negroes favor the independ-
ence of any nation. The negro
has no reason to fight for Cuba's
independence. He is opposed al
home. He is as much in need oi
independence as Cuba is. He il
living under flag, that the blood
Of his anc, stors and forefathers
sought for and one that is power
less to protect him. His own broth
ers, fathers, mothers and indeed
his children are shot down as if they
were dogs and cattle. Is he living
among the brave or is he in tht
home of his enemies. There is M
inducement for the negro to figh
for the independence of Cuba.

OUR HIGH AND NuRMAd
SCHOOL,

There is talk about reorgahizing
the High and Normal schools and
the department of Manual and In
dustrial Training. Talk is cheap
and will not make good mechanics,
proficient pupils, but if talk is re-
duced to the proper crystal we
may hope for better things. Let
the committee get together and
with uuanimitv and wisdom bring
about the reforms which are so
necessary and the absence of which
has operated to leave us far behind
our white schools. A long pull, a
strong pull, and pull altogether
is the proper thing.

THE SPIRIT OF OPPOSITION

One Of the most unfavorable in
dications which point to the alb
sence of unity among our leading
politicians is the disgusting and
unwarrantable opposition to color
ed men who are being favorably
considered for Federal appoint
ment. The spirit of opposition has
grown to such alarming proportions
that it has become a serious ques-
tlon as to whether the party leaders
are not seriously considering the
propriety of ignoring the colored
brother absolutely. There should
be universal pride exhibited when
a worthy colsred man is offered an
office, not an outpouring of the
phials of wrath, contumely, bill
lingsgate and misrepresentation
which we so often see. If there is
one thing more than another which
is calculated to keep US down and
invite opposition among the whites,
it is the Ishmaelitish disposition
whice seems to be woefully cultivat-
ed among our politicians. 1t were
far better to have no offices at all
than that they should be sought
through the medium of self abase-
ment and disgraeeful pickering. 1t
is to be hoped that the dog-in the
manger spirit will soon give way to
one more brotherIy and race loving.

A YOUNG MAN WHO IS MAklNO HIS
MARK-HIs RECENT SUCCESS IN THE
CARSON HABEAs CORPUS CASE.
Few, if any of our leaders of the Ne
gro race have gained distinction but
whose career reads like romance
Some, through the untiring efforts of
others have won distinction, and others
who by their own efforts and early
struggles have won the coveted goal
and wear with pride the laurels. Well
may it be said of Peril w. Frisby, who
on the 9th day of August, 1866, first
opened his eyes and beheld the splep-
dors of the world. Being the seventh
son, Dame Fortune marked him for
her own, and no doubt the young and
tender mind saw the great success
which he should achieve, for at the
tender age of twelve he launched his
little boat upon the rugged sea of life.
| He attended the Robert Naux Gram
mar and Friends schools in Phil
adelphia, between times selling news
papers. Having tired of this he went
to>AeW. Jersey and at the age of six
| teen engaSed in insurance business.
| Two years laterWas made the agent
tor a white insurance company, and
was promoted each year until he be-
came its manager. He keenly felt and
saw that his noble inspiration called
him in a broader field when twenty
years of age, by his efforts, the first
Negro insurance company in Philadel-
phia, Penn, was organized. Later he
came to Washington and studied law,
part of the time selling books, and in
1895 was an agent for the Alpha Real
Estate, Banking and Insurance Com
pany, which company he served so
faithfully that he was made Superinten-
dent. In 1897, after passing the bar
examination, devoted his attentioRto
his growing practice ever since, hav-
ing won the respect of all. Many no.
table events could be mentioned in
the career of thts young man. Mr..
Frisby was one of the leading counsel
In the Carson habeas corpus case
which has won for him quite reputa-
ton as pleader. Mr.. Frisby is one
OF the neatest and best dressed MEM
bers of the legal profession. He is a
hard working young man whose busi-
ness Is growing among his people.
His chentage consists of all classes.
He will be some day numbered among
the brightest lights in the legal pro-
fessIon. The BEE is more than
pleased to state that he is respected
by the courts and the members of the
bar. 1t is pleasure to announce that
the colored attorney is on the advance
step, and Mr.. Frisby is one them.
The Washington bee., 1898-03-05
THE NEGRO HIS OWN ENEMY.

There is great deal for the Ne
gro te learn. He is to-day his own
enemy. He sees only what exists
to- day and thinks not for the fu-
ture. He is the political coward
and toady to political parties. He
is like some Negro editors who have
opinions and dare not express them
for fear of insulting the admins
trative powers. He will stand and
grin at wrong or imposition upon
his fellow citizens and is afraid to
condemn it. He would sooner COM
bine with the white man against
his fellow man than to see one of
his number advance above the
common level. The case of Hon.
Henry Demas is an example of Ne
gro treachery and demagoguery.
President McKinly has seen fit to
nominate Mr.. Demas as Naval Off
Ger at New Orleans. A handful
of white anti-McKinley Louisiana
politicians are opposing his confr-
nation. This hand full of lilly
white Louisianans are reinforced
by few half white or amalgamat-
ed Negroes who Were out-generaled
in the1ast political contest by Mr..
Demas. They have filed lot of
ancient charges the circumstances
connected with them happened al
most when the State was founded.
You can always find a few Negroes
in this country who are mean
enough to aid class of men to &C.
complish any kind of dirty work.
1t is hoped that the administration
will see to it that Mr.. Dsmas is
confirmed.
The Washington bee., 1898-03-05
AGAINST DEMAS' NOMINATION.

From the Evening Star,
The Senate Committe on Commerce
today decided by unanimous vote,
to report adversely the nomination OF
Henry Demas to be naval officer at
New Orleans.
There were many charges against
Demas rejecting upon his general
character, but the one which seemed
to influence the committee most was
charge that while state senator he
had been in the employ OF the LOUIS
lana Lottery, in which capacity he was
alleged to have received $500 per
month.
II the news item from our es-
teemed contemporary, the Evening
Star is correct, it looks as if Hon.
Henry Demas will not be confirm
ed. Mr.. Hanna as we'll as the
President ought to know that the
defeat of Mr.. Demas is a rebuke 10
the administration If the Presl-
dent deemed Mr.. nemas honest
and pure enough to nominate MIN,
certainly he is no more impure now
than he was then. Senator Hanna
is in duty bound to see that he is
confirmed 1t is only the anti
Mckinley element whom MIR. De
mas defeated for DELEGATES who art
opposing HIM. Certainly the Sen
ate will not allow class of lily
white republican politicians in th'
south to defeat a colored republi
can. The time is fast coming wher
the negroes Of this country will b.
, compelled to break away from
party ties. Demas should be con
firmed,
The Washington bee., 1898-03-05

If Mr.. Demas is to be rejected
on account of his alleged connec-
tion with the Louisi ma Lottery
then every politician in the State
who has come u3 for an office NAV
be charged with bling connected
with the lottery. The BEE is
aware of men now opposing Mr..
Demas against whom charges can
be made of similar character,

gro has pride. 10 a limited ex-
tent, a limited number of them may

not that respect for them nor will
they make the least sacrifice for
them. We have some noble and
refined women among US who are

IN NEED OF EDITORS.

Some time ago General George
I'll. Harries read a paper before st.
Luke's Guild, entitled; 1.-The negro
and his duty to the negro press. "
Gen. Harries said that the negro was
in need of editors The BEE agreed
with him and said there were but
few colored editors who had opin-
ions of their own; that a number
of them were hypocritical and full
of demogaugism, ect.
There are a few hay-seed editors
who have lost what General Har-
ries said and took exception to what
we said. Among some of the
men who have excepted to what we
said and are kicking themselves
mad are two hay-seeds in Texas,
the editors Of the Times and Ex-
press, both of them ought to be on
a Texas farm or in potato field
because they would make better
living digging potatoes than they
would attempting to edit news
papers.
There is also an editor away out
in Omaha, Neb. We believe ht
attempts to edit the Enterprise
We understand that he digs rock,
all day and on Fridays he sends
his paper to white office to be Sc
up. That is, the part that is no
patent. In need of editors Tn,
negroes are not only in need of ed
itors, but they are in need of new
leadership and good common sense
Of course the BEE did not intent
to slight the editor of the Cleve
land Gazette, the Lexington, KY.
Standard, the Norfolk Recorde
and few others who are not class
ed among the hay-seed editors
Editor Murphy in Maryland kicked
too soon. Of course The BEE did
not intend to overlook Editor
Murphy. We are surprised at Ed
itor Murphy placing himself among
the hay seeds editors. Yes, we sa,
again, that we are in need of edi
tors and men who will not sci
their opinion for for twenty, five
cents. There are at least twenty
five papers attempting to be edited
by negroes, if they were combined
in one, would not make decent
hand bill. And so far as having
opinions, if they were asked to ex,
press them, they would not know
what you meant. In need of edi-
tors? Yes, there are some negro
editors who are In need of sense.
The BEE will next week give
the opinion of some negro editors
on public questions and if oul
statement is not true we shall apol
ogize for what We have said.
We did not intend to leave out
the brilliant editor, Mr.. Burton Of
the Michigan Representative and B.
Quincy Lee, of the Columbus
Chronicle, who would sooner die
than toady to popular sentiment
The poppin jay of the Galveston
Times, Houston, Texas, Express
and the peacock editor of the Den
yer Statesman never had opin-
ions. 1t takes but little to make
dogs bark and the reason some
dogs bark is because they wish to
be heard and not seen.
