outrage every instinct of decency
and cast shadow upon the admin
istration of our courts of justice.
We trust that the investigation
now in progress by the Congression-
al Committee will find that the
Judge has been so far misquoted as
to relieve him of any tincture of
the imputation charged. The COL
ored people of Washington are al
ready the objects of persecution by
policemen who seem to act as
though they were appointed on the
force for the express purpose of
piling up criminal statistics in or.
der that our people may be seen
in their worst light. We have rro-
tested against this and hope that
our protests have been productive
of some good. But should it prove
that judge whose duty it Is to
try cases upon their merits, one
who is supposed to be fair and un-
prejudiced, has so far forgotten his
office and the moral influence he
exerts in the community as coun-
sci or indirectly advise or coun-
tenance lawlessness in the shape of
lynching, there is no codemnation
too severe for him and only i'm
peachment would be his just pun
ishment. We trust that Judge
Bradley has not fallen into the
fault Of advising lawlessness. We
congratulate our ministers upon
the vigilance they have shown in
watching the current of influences
which are making against our peo,
pie, for whether they will be able
to prove their allegations against
Judge Bradley or not, men in high
places will be careful how they talk
about the rights and liberties OF
others. The public should await
the result of the investigation and
not be too hasty in pronouncine
against one whose recori j has beel
consistently correct.

THE CRY is WAR.

War is imminent. The forces
are being marshalled, land and
naval for the purpose of settling
forever the question as to whether
this Government will stand idly by
and permit untold misery, slaugh
ter and devastation to be heaped
uson a brave but comparatively
weak nation struggling to be tree.
There is but little question as to
what the outcome will be. Spain,
nation historically brutal and
domineering; but astute in her di :
plomatic craft, has at last reached
a point where loud boast and ty-
ranny will not count against the
powess and magnauimity of an in
dulgent, but positive nation. The
stars and stripes will soon float
over the citadels hither to be deck
ed with the ensigns of castillian
pride. The rumor that the colored
men are to do the fighting and
suffer the loss of life is one born of
cowardice and hate.
The black allies may be willing
to do their part toward defending
the honor of the nation and pub
fishing its heroism and magnan-
unity to the world, but they will
and must do so by the side of their
fairer brother. The slurs cast
against lawabiding, patriotic
class of American citizens and the
suggestion to put Them to the
front, for the purpose of killing
them off, is as base and cowardly
and any that have ever eminated
from the blackest hearted rebel
The country has every known.
The conduct of the black allv will
be as heroic and commendable in
heir contest as he has in every
,ther contest which involves the
liberty, honor and prosperity of
he country and it is hoped that

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY.

President Mckinley has been
severely criticised for his delay in
declaring war against Spain and
demanding the independence of
Cuba; but events have proven that
he has been wise and diplomatic.
When the Maine was blown up by
the Spanish mine, that fact alone
placed US on naval footing infe-
rior to that ef Spain. To have
zone into a naval contest with
Spain, the., United States would
probably have suffered humillating
losses if not absolute defeat. But
our President fully realizing the sit
ton, sought to strengthen our
naval power and has done so ad-
mirably until new Spain and her
combined allies may do their worst
without making the success ot
American powess doubtful. With
amble munitions of war, patriotic
spirit and Millions anxious to de
fend the flag and avenge the los'
of the Maine and her brave ant
gallant crew what will be done t
Spain will be plenty.

JUSTICE BRADLEY AND LYNCH
LAW.

CoLoRED LAWYERS TO HIS DEFENSE
THEY POINT OUT THE INCoNSIST-
ENCY OF THE NEGRO MINISTER'S
THEY DECLARE THAT HE IS A
FRIEND TO THE NEGRO.
A conference of colored lawyers was
held Thursday afternoon in Lawyer
Hewlett's office to consider the
charge that was made against Judge
Andrew c. Bradley by the colored
ministers of this city to the effect, in
sentencing the murderer Smith, be
declared that lynching was too good
for him. Lawyer E. M. Hewlett said
that he has known Justice Brady for
ten years. He went to school with
him, so he remarked, and he has never
known him to be prejudiced against
the negro.
Lawyer Peyton, said among other
things as follows: "Anv thing those
negro ministers are against | am in
favor Of. The wrongs they should con-
demn exist in the Police Court. These
negro ministers are set Of goodfor-
nothing negroes, and so for as Justice
the negro and | know he is not
prejudiced against him."
Lawyer Jones, said: Justice Brad
ley is good man. If he said what
is credited to him, know he had no
prejudice against the negro. He
knows no man by his color. These
negro ministers are set of fools who
should look after the illtreatment of
the negro in the Police Court, if they
want to help the negro. There is no
institution in the country that is In
need of greater reformation than the
Police Court"
Lawyer James H. Smith, one of
the first colored members of the bar
to defend Judge Bradley, Lawyer
Smith said: If the negro minis
ters want something to do, let them
come and visit the Police Court and
see how their people are shamefully
sentenced to Jail and the work-h house
without fair trial. Justice Bradley
is the negro's friend"
Lawyers Moss and Frisby while
they said nothing much, are defending
Justice Bradley.
a majority OF the lawyers say that
they are satisfied that Judge Bradley
meant no reflection on the negro.
The colored lawyers are very bitter
against the coiored ministers whom
they classify as set of hypocrites and
mlschief-makers.
The meeting was called to order bv
Lawyer E NJ. Hewlett, who stated its
object. A set of resolutions were
drafted to be sent TO the Senate Iudi
ciary Committee. Among those pres
ent who took part in the meeting were:

OUR PUBLIC PRINTER.

The BEE takes this opportunity
to tender it's thanks to Public
Printer Palmer, for the appoint
ment or the reinstatement Messrs.
r. F. .Chisplm and Edward G. Male,
two of the best colored printers be-
longing to the Typographica. Un-
ion, and who were discharged by the
direction of the negro democratic
league under the last democratic
Administration. Mr.. Palmer has
always been our best friend and a
man who is republican from the
sole Of his feet to the crown of his
head. He is a true American who
loves his country, and simon pure
republican, who loves the American
flag. Mr.. Palmer, as token of
the highest appreciation in which
the colored people of this country
hold you, please accept their con-
gratulations. They hope to crown
you some day, the nobliest Roman
of them all. Much credit is also
due to our friend, Mr.. Rickett, the
distinguished and astute private
secretary to Mr.. Palmer.

"onfdence of the community. He
was chosen the chairman OF the re-

f;can nomination for Congress from
The Sth district, but declined the hon.
~ c At that time Alderman Seaton
led the colored people. Colored men
were awarded places OF honor and
! trust in party circles and they secured
federal appointments:
AT the death OF Charles Sumner,
Alderman Seaton was detailed by the
Senate officials as one of the guard of
honor to accompany his remains from
Washington TO Boston.
Upon his return to Washington he
was offered and accepted, a police
guard of the big Equitable Assurance
Company, of New York city. Such
was the enormous size and splendid
nhvsioue of Seaton when he entered
the big building at 40 Broadway that
he attracted the attention of the re-
porters of the big metropolitan dailies
and each paper contained portraits
and pen sketches of the biggest and
tallest man in the big city of New
York. Seaton coming from the old
stock of Virginia colored people, and
with retiring and affable manners that
distinguish the old time colored peo-
pie, soon made friends IN New York
and served with credit in the employ
of the big Equitable company for over
twenty-five years. Two years ago his
health began to fail and he had to be
relieved from his duties in the Equit-
able and come south.
He IS member of Universal Lodge,
No. I. A. F. and A. NJ, of Alexandria,
Va. lieutenant commander of Fletcher
Consistory, Scottish Rite Masory, and
Noble of Magnus Temple, OF the
Mystic Shrine, of Mount Olivet Bap-
tist church, New York city.

Laura V. Contee and the late Mrs.

THE WAR CLOUD.

The war cloud is growing larger
and larger every day. Spain's
treachery is proyerbial and the
Maine disaster is only a sample of
the sincerity and friendship Of a
weak, bankrupt and effete nation.
The butcheries which have been
perpetrated upon the Cubans, the
ingratitude shown by De Lone to-
ward nation which was profuse
IN its favor, all attest to the utter
debasement of a nation which has
long since lost its usefulness.
Spain can tsmile and smile and
be william" can put on the calm
est exterior to hide the blackest OF
crimes and can threat and bragg
when even at the point of beggary.
Spanish diabollsm and riboldry
have gone so far that Uncle Sam"
is becoming tired and is in . most
splendid mood to thrash the de-
ception and blood-thirstness out OF
the gay decievers. The crime OF
the Maine disaster must be avenged
Americas noble braves have beer
slain in the house of their profess
ed friends and the traitors guilt,
OF the crime should suffer. Th'
lives Of our brave seamen and tn,
insult Of our flag cannot be atonet
for by indemnity. The nation
murdered must be avenged by
chastisement severe and bloody
you please. War must be declared
Spain's treechery must be rebuke'
and the world informed by exam
pie that it is not well to abus
American confidence and outrag
American sentiment.
Moreover, such atrocities as ar
being enacted in Cuba, must b
rebuked. The slavery to whicl
the Cubans are subjected would b
bad enough. but when the lives o
the people are considered no NOR
than those of sheep and oxen
when helpless women and childrel
and innocent babes are buGcheret
simply to satisfy a native blood
thirstyness of the Spaniards. it i
time for this country to interfer
and assist Cuba to be free. Al
President Lincoln was appealed tt
to wipe out the stain of human
slavery from the fair fame of thi!
country, so is President Mckinley
looked upon as the salvator of the
Cuban patriots and the avenged
wrongs against American interest,"
and American honor.

JOHN A. SEATON.
From the Alexandria Gazette.

Routts, Fauquier Co. Va, Mar. ID :
| John Andrew Seaton, one of the most
| prominent colored men of Virginia
and New York, is critically i'll at his
farm residence, near this place DIR

states that his patient has a Slight
chance of recovery, that the present
mild weather is favorable, but with
colder weather, he fears serious re-

The once giant frame of John A.
Seaton has wasted away to a mere
skeleton and he lies patiently with a
full assurance of saving grace, ready
to meet his God, when he is sum-
moned.
John A. Seaton was born in the CITY
OF Alexandria, 18th Of November, 81
years ago. He was reared in the
neighborhood of Washington and
Franklin steets, then known as "Sea-
tonville."
He learned the carpenters trade
under his late brother, the well-known
George L Seaton.
AT the outbreak Of the war he en-.
listed in the quartermaster' depart
ment at Alexandria and later in the
colored Union troops that were organ
lied for the protection of Alexandria
and Washington. He was with the
federals at City Point, and became one
of the recognized leaders of the color
ed people of Virginia at the close of
the war.
When the late Hon. John F. Lewis
entered the U. S. Senate from Virgin
Ia he secured the appointment of John
A. Seaton in the Treasury Depart
ment, and then later on the police
force of the u. S. Capitol

President Mckinley could not
have appointed better man to
succeed the late B. K. Bruce than
Col. j. w. Lyons of Georgia. He
is an honest, pure and scholarly
representative of the colored race
and one in whom the American
negro has confidence.
There is no state in this country
that was dearer and truer to the

him in his capacity as an heroic
citizen may be great than those
which it has h;s sherto been his for

suggesting that the colored soldier
be used for slaughter merely has
no place in the hearts of good
