CONGRESSMAN WHITES
SPEECH.

The speech OF Hon. Geo. III. White
of North Carolina, in the House
of Representatives last week was a
master piece of oratory and logic.
MIR. White was brave and manly in
MS utterances which fully demon
strated the character of the man.
He showed that many of those who
are inimical to the negro had been
elected by theft, fraud and assassi-
nation. While his speech was a
master defense of the negro, the
BEE doesn't agree with him on the
expansion scht tine. A majority of
the negroes in this country are
opposed to expansion. A govern
ment that is powerless to protect it's
own citizens should never attempt
to seize other governments by
invasion and throw around them
an American protectorate, which is
nothing more than political and
physical oppression. Expansion
is a fraud and the American negro
has long since come to the conclu
sion that before any government
attempts to throw the protecting
arm around a foreign foe, it should
first protect its own citizens. The
defense of the negro by Mr.. White
was admirable, but he is wrong on
expansion. The best evidence is,
of the recent overthrow of the local
government in his own state. We
know Mr.. White to be one of the
most honest men in this country.
We know him to be man upon
whom the negro may depend. A
man can be a politician and be
honest, he can be statesman
and be noble, but man who is-not
honest to his people is unworthy of
belief Mr.. White is a man possess
Ing every noble quality and above
III
all ne is a truthful man. He will
do his race more good if he opposes
expansion.

for loyalty, then there must have
been rebels and those rebels are
responsible for all the mischief
done and all the money spent. But
we are not surprised at the audacity
of Butler. A demand for pensions
for rebels is consistent with the au-
dacity with which human rights at
the South are being tramp!ed
under foot and the open declara-
ton on the part of the rebels that
what they lost in war they will
gain in peace. Let us call spade
spade and in doing so we must
call a rebel, a rebel so long as he
antagonizes the constitution and
seeks to nullify the laws.
The Washington bee., 1899-02-04
"WHERE ARE WE AT ?"

Senator Butler few days ago
made an appeal for pensioning rebel
soldiers. A few days later, Sena-
tor Berry of Arkansas, in speech
opposing the ratification of the
treaty with Spain, made use of a
very novel argument. He said
that ne was opposed to holding the
Philippines on the ground that it
is against "the principles for which
the southern confederacy fought
and for which Stonewall jackson
died" Unless most woeful
change has come over the spirit of
the American patriot, the argu-
ment urged by the senator ought
to constitute the very best reason
why the Philippines should be an
nexed. The principles for which
the confederacy fought and Jack
son died were antagonistic to free
dom, to the will of the majority
and to the supremacy of the Consti-
tuition of the United States. These
same principles declared cotton
king, instituted class distinctions
and justified political assassination.
Surely the treaty ought to be radi-
fed if by doing so, the principles of
rebeldom are to be opposed. Things
are getting so terribly mixed that
it is becoming question as to
whether the principles for which
Lincoln conducted successful
war are not all wrong and the
rebel all right. Where are we at.

HELP THE POOR.

Every nationality seems to have
an eye to helping the poor but the
negro. The colored people of
means, in this city, remain quiet
and allow the white people to take
care of their poor during the win.
ter without giving any support
whatever. 1t is about time for our
co!ored citizens to be doing some
thing substantial for their poor.
The BEE makes this suggestion:
Let Prof. j. L. Layton, W. A..
Stewart and Prof. Hoffman be
requested with the assistance of
the colored sch ools give monster
musicale, at Convention Hall, for
the poor in the several divisions
of the public schools. Let the pro-
ceeds of this musicale be distribu-
ted, by the several supervising prin.
clpals to the poor in their divisions

Lady Randolph Churchill is
about to publish a magazine, de.
signed to satisfy the tastes of the
nobility. Each number is to be
sumptuously bound and sold at
the very modest price of a guinea or
about five dollars. This price will of
course bar poor folks and the elite
can have the satisfaction of read
ing news and other articles of a
peculiarly exclusive character.
We are curious to know just what
kind of matter the magazine will
contain. Perhaps it is to contain
articles free from "shop" and the
views of capitalized nobility on the
subject of labor, politics and other
which cannot be honestly
expressed in a public journal. This
new idea of putting a high price on
select ideas ought to be emulated
oy some of our white journalists, in
order that the unthinking besotted

denied the benefit of enlightment.
Judging from the tone some of our
dailies ideas constitute a commod-
ity in no way suited to the
demands Of negro education. For
instance If the Post could find it
profitable to charge a dollar a copy
some of the highly entertaing and
select articles which are daily
effused by one of its editors might
be kept from the unappreciative
colored seeker after nuggets of
wisdom. For our part we would
regard it a Godsend if the price
of the Post was so increased as TO
render the colored reader unable to
buy. 1t might be great loss to
the colored people, but the law of
compensation would be seen in the
qualification offered the enemies
of the colored mans advancement.

OPPRESSIVE LAWS.

The laws recently enacted for the
lower branch of our Police Court
are too oppressive and if these laws
are repealed or modified the work
house will forever be overcrowded
with prisoners. Our vagrancy laws,
to say the least, are the most
oppressive laws ever enacted for
any people. Many of the vagrants
who are sent to the workhouse
could just as well be given lecture
and sent about their business. In
many instances a man is picked
up IN the streets because he is
looking for work and sent down on
the farm. Men who are hired by
the sporting class in the division
to play the piano are arrested,
convicted and sentenced to the
workhouse. They are heavily
fined in most instances and if they
are unable to pay their fines they
must serve a long term ir the
workhouse. An investigation of
the method by which convictions
are made should be made by the
Senate Committee which will
readily show why our workhouse
IS overcrowded. Complaints are
being made daily by the attorneys

THERE ARE NO REBELS
NOW.

The crack Of the murderous
rife has hardly died away and the
torch of incendiarism hardly
smothered in North Carolina be-
fore Senator Marion Butler, with
unblushing audaclty offers, as an
amendment to the general pension
bill, proposition to pension rebel
soldiers. In support of his propo-
sition that gentlemen makes the
startling statement that those who
took up arms against the Union
were not rebels but were patriots.
So disgusting and false was the
attitude of Butler, that after re-
lieving himself of a great deal of
sentimental rot, the senator from
Tennessee relieved the situation by
begging the speaker to withdraw
the amendment and sit down. Mr..
Butler says that the ex-confederares
were not rebels. Pray what werethey
then? Did they fight to preserve
the Union? Did not the leaders
of the hellish conspiracy leave the
council of the Union to which they
had sworn allegianceand build up a
rump congress in opposition to the
constitution and in defiance of law:
And did not this band of traitors
wage bloody warfare for nearly five
long sad years in order to establish
a government in spite of an
opposition to the Union?
1t does not sound so soft to call
a rebel a rebel, 1t may sound
better to say that he was a con-
federate. But by whatever name
called the men who took up
arms to destroy this government
and to defy the will of the people
are rebels just the same. They
rebelled against the government
which they had sworn to serve and
honor. They rebelled against
every sentiment of loyalty to the
Union and openly declared their
right AMI duty to dismember it,
When they were asked to return
to the Union, they scornfullv
refused to do so and by pelf and
plunder sought to strengthen their
hands with the sinews of war.
They were not only rebels then,
but they are rebels now. They
are antagonizing every principle
and every product of the war
They are even now putting into
operation schemes to defeat the
grand principle of universal
suffrage and of complete enfran-
chisement. They openly avow the
constitutional amendments, which
declare the citizenship of the col
ored people, to be void and of no
effect. They oppose the pension
rolls of the Union soldiers and in
many ways show their hostility to
the Union and the results of the
war. Witness in the face of this
the declaration in high places the
claim that confederates were not
rebels. If the confederates were
not rebels, then the Union soldiers
were. If the confederates did NOT

BILE character.
Mr.. and Mrs. Whitehouse will
leave for Hilo next week and remain

some roads for which Mr. White
house is the contractor. The INDE-
PENDENT extends its fluctuations to
