INTERRUPTED HIS SMOKE.
Lively Fire in Donovan's Kitchen Caused
Bit of Excitement,

North Grafton, June IA somewhat
exciting scene was witnessed in the

match into a spittoon. The flame
Caught on the fringe on the lounge and
set it on fire. The smoke soon filed
the room and made it almost impos-
sible to remain in it.
John O'Connell, who lives near, came
to the assistance of Donovan and went
to the ]. S. Nelson & Son Company's
shop to blow the fire alarm, but, on ac-
count of there being no steam on, he
failed to do so. Then, with the assist
ance Of several neighbors, the fire was
eXtinguished. The damage was very
slight.

THE SOLUTION.

Ever since the emancipation of
ne Negro the great question that
has sgitated the public mind
orators. pol olticisns, and all other
agitators-is the solution of
the Negro question This ques-
tion has worried statesmen COL
ored orators have made the night
hideous, while the lecturer has
intoxicated his congregation with
sulphurous vaporing and cloudy
oratory in attempting TO solve the
Negro question. The BEF has
found remedy. 1t is a most
radical remedy, one that will, no
doubt, revolutionize the South and
make the North look with amaze
ment.
The first proposition that The
BEE would suggest is to place the
entire South under military law
on a territorial form of govern
ment. Appoint men ss Governors
who have no interest IN that sec
tion except to rule the people and
compel them to obey the Jaw and
uphold good government. Appoint
no man to govern who resides
Sou.h, not even chimney sweeper.
Make the penalty for bribery either
death or life imprisonment.
The BEE is of the opinion that
the Southern "crscker jarks %
would within a few years know
how to behave themselves AMI all
classes o. citizens would stand
upoon an equal footing before the
| law.

INGERSOLL DEAD.

Whatever may have been the
views of Col. Robert G. Ingersoll,
the American people must admit
one fact-that he was a friend to
humanity. Whatever may have
been his belief or disbelief as to the
existence of the Deity he knew no
man by the color of his skin.
While the body of the dead orator
lay within the silent precincts of
his mansion, while the tears and
throbs of faithful wife and loving
daughters caused the hearts of their
household to soften and taught q
lesson that the infdel endeavored
to bury-one which has gwen saliva
ton to the soul lesson which
thousands have heard, and vast
numbers have gone 10 their graves
believing that the teachings of
Robert 6. Ingersoll were lessons to
oe handed down to posterity. The
sobs of the wife aud daughters told
the story. They repudlsted the
existence IF God, as taught by
The husband and the father.
This may be an age Of reason !;
this may be an age in which the
wise may tell the ignorant that it is
folly to believe there is God Did
the widow weep to bring back the
dead? Did the daughters sob be-
liev,ng that their tears would bring
forth life again? Then, as
Sorrow never could revive the
dead;
So we weep because we weep in
vain"
They must bave had some belief in
the existence of a supernatural
being.
His death is q warning to the
infdel, it is a warning to the false
hearted, and his teachings are eter-
nal damus alton to those who do not
believe in the existence of a God
He was too good not to have
believed in the God who rules the
destinies of nations. He was too
good a man to have wasted his time
in preaching the doctrine of the
nonexistence or the injustice of that
God TO whom nations, principalities
and potentates have aid homage.

THE PARTY'S BURDEN.

There can be noticed with great
deal OF surprise the seemingly an
tagonistic utterances of the colored
press and alleged colored repre-
sentatives against President Nc
Kinley. his administration, and the
principles of the Republican party.
Does it ever occur to the colored
citizen that the burdens of the
Republican party are due to it's
defense and recognition of him in
the American body politic' Does
the colored man realize the fact
that the attacks of the enemy
against the Republican party are
due to It's continued recognition
cf him? If the Negro vote can
find anything in the principles of
the Democratic party to support
let him 60 and support that party
t is certainly strange why the
Negro voter continually threatens
to bolt the Republican party and
60 to his oppressor is beyond the
conception of political philosophers
One of the greatest burdens the
Republican party had was the
emancipation # over four mi lions
of slaves, which cos. the nation
thousands of lives and billions of
dollars. The Negro voter certainly
forgets his former condition and
the barbarity of his oppressors.
The next burden of the Repu blican
party was the covering up and
vindication of the blunders made
under Negro rule in the South a
little subsequent to reconstruction.
Before the colored voter takes "a
hasty step he should hesitate for a
moment and say to himself where
am | at?"
The principles by which the Re-
publican leaders have been actu
ated were not from selfish mo
tives.
The BEES advice is. let the
Negro look about him and remem-
Der wisely the burdens of the
republican party aud his past
oppression.
The Washington bee., 1899-07-29
THE PRESIDENT AND THE
NEGRO.

For some time a few would be
representative Negroes have seized
an opportunity to criticise and
abuse the President. Has Presi-
dent Mckinley done anything that
he should be Condemned by colored
men, except he failed to give a
few disgruntled politicians Office ?
Would there be any objections to
him were he to place every colored
man in Office, Notwithstanding his
alleged attitude on the lynching in
th. South? Then what is there in
the Democratic party South for the
Negro to con6emn the President
and tender his support to that
party? 1t is hoped that our dis
tingulshed friends will see the
force of this article and act ac-
cordlngly.
the report is that Messers. Lyons,
Green, and Cheatham went to the
White House on Thursday and
assured the President that there
was no disposition on the part of
the Negro vote to divide. While
we have the highest respect for
these gentlemen, The BEE is con.
stained to say, if the published
report is true, we think these gen
tlemen should have made a different
statement. The fact is there is q
great division among the Negroes
both North and South and there
is no use of Disgusting the fact.
So far as The BEE can ascer-
tain, President Mex nley is friendly
disposed towards the Negro, but
the great fault is the Negro is
inimical to his own interest and is
divided against himself.
"The fault, dear Brutus, is not in
our stars, but in ourselves, that we
are underlings.
The Washington bee., 1899-07-29
THE NEGRO VOTE.

There has been a great deal of
talk as to the probable disposition
Of the colored vote. Some of the
politicians seem to think that the
Negro will desert the Repub blican
party. The question is, should he
leave that party, where is he TO go?
Is he going to the men and party
which are butchering him or re-
main with the men and party
which seemingly gave him protec-
tion, if not legally, morally We
believe the President is sincere;
we believe that the salvation of the
Negro is in the Republican party,
if he knows how to command what
he is entitled to.
Politically, the Negro is a coward.
He doesn't embrace the opportuni-
ties that are before him. The ques-
tion now is, can the colored vote
leave the Republican party? If it
does leave, where is it going? The
South is the political graveyard for
the Negro. He is not allowed to
exercise any political authority
there, because there is nothing for
him to do but to remain in the
party of his nativity and work out
his salvation.
The Washington bee., 1899-07-29
The Personal Liberty League
ought to give itself a rest.
NOT A FOOL.

We think the Mobile Press too
severe in it's criticism of a colored
man who recently refused the ap-
pointment of postmaster in a small
town in Alabama. A manly man
is to be admired at all times. The
time is now that q coloreG man
needs be very careful of his every
movement. Greed of gain must
not be uIpermost. If a colored
man received proper protection
from the hands of those who are
in position to protect him he would
be more willing to accept any posi-
tion ten dered him.
The Press says the man who
refused "to take the job" vas
mean, weakened, deceitful, and
needs to jump into the river and
drown. Yes, under the present
circumstances, he might as well
drown himself as to take position
if the white people he is to serve
do not want him. This govern
ment is utterly powerless to protect

q coloreu man In any position IL ne
is Objectionable to the dominant
race. Doubtless the man is at the
head of a family, as was Mr..
Baker. lie should not be scored
as coward because he loves his
life. The happiness of some one
depends on that mans life. A
colored mans life is not too secure
farther north than Alabama if he
is opposed by the white men.
Think of the once happy Baker
family What has been done in
Justice to those whose lives were
innocently sacrificed because Mr..
Baker had the courage to accept a
position to serve a set of people who
openly proclaimed their disapproval
am hesitated not to make good
their threats? Does the courage
he displayed help his case any?
Enough negroes are being butch
cred at any rate.
The man showed the genuine
sinew and muscle of courage and
m .nliness when he declined prof
fered position. The man who re-
fuses a government position today
especially a coIored man, is to be
commended and not condemned
No man is d ceitful who considers
his own welfare first. What does
it profit man to become postmaster
and lose bis life? Let a coloreG
man receive the protec ion to whict
he is entitled as an American citizer
and then there will be less objection
to HIM as an official. Of course il
is hard to feel that the CO or of the
! skin has SO much to do with matters
pertaining to government. The
white man South does look at the
color of the skin. Efficiency, ability
and moral worth are secondary.
White men falling short in these
essentials have filled and are today
filling positions of trust under the
Government, not only South, but
in other sections. Whist is it, then
that makes him acceptable while he
lacks these important attributes
A poor, illiterate white man is more
to be desired than refined, edu-
Gated and upright colored man.
There will always be some unjust
comment If a colored man dare to
think and act for himself. Let us
have more men who can see danger
at distance and turn away there
from.
