Someone has discovered that the
word Nicaraguan was stolen and the
word ithmian substituted, in the
Republican platform and that some
fellow got paid for doing it. Well,
that's nothing, the whole platform
reads as though somebody had been
hired to write it.

Representative OulLcI VI NC"
York had hard time getting his
resolution of sympathy for the Beers
before the House in the face of op-
position from the Republican pro-
British majority. But once he sue
ceeded, he spoke his mind. Among
other things he said:
Sir, actions speak louder than
words; and the action of the Repub-
lican party in the white house, in
the senate, and in the house of rep
resentatives proves, if it proves any
thing, that the president and the
Republican party are opposed to
the Beers and in favor of Great
Britain. l read in a New York pa
per the remarks of Mr.. Webster
Davis. made to a New York audi
ence last night, in which he said that
President Mckinley is patriot and
a great American and was opposed
to the robbery and murder Great
Britain was carrying on in South
Africa, and that the president would
do his duty. I challenge that state
ment. 1t is not~in accordance with
the facts and the records. In my
judgement, it is absolutely inconsis-
tent with the truth. The administra-
ton is not patriotic; it is not Amer
lean. On the contrary, it is doing
all that it can to suppress the honest
expression of opinion in this repre-
sentative body regarding the war in
South Africa. Nine tenths of the
American people are in sympathy
with the Beers, and they want Con-
gress to pass resolution sympa-
thizlng with them in their heroic
struggle, but the administration re-
fuses to admit Congress to express
its opinion. The administration is
doing all it can against South AT
rican Republics. 1t is doing all il
can in favor of Great Britain. L
it were a patriotic administration, i
it were truly representative of Amer
lean sentiment, it would have follow
ed the precedents of century anC
extended its sympathy long ago tc
the Beers. We sympathized with
Poland, with Hungary, will
Greece, with Armenia, with all the
South American republics, will
Cuba. Many we helped. Why,
ask, in the name of these precedents
in the name of all our glorious past
do we refuse to sympathize with the
Beers? Is it because England domi
mates the Mckinley administration
Is it because the Republican party
has surrendered American rights t.
British interests? Is it because, of
ficially, American sentiment is dead
This morning when the speaker
told me that he would not recognize
me, that he would not permit the
consideration of the resolution 1 of

ed! 1 felt sorry for him. No doub
he was simply obeying his order!
from the white house or from Mari
Hanna; but it is spectacle tina
should make every friend of repre-
sentative government blush will

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1900
The OPENING or CONGRESS-.

The last session of the 56th Congress
convened Monday, December 3rd.
Withal it was one of the most brilliant
openings Washingtonians have wit
messed for a long while The recent
victory of the Republican party, and
the material state of the country at
present. made the occasion a temporal
feast. Handsome men, beautiful wo
men and sweet little children, together
with the abundance of beautiful and
fragrant flowers, added to the brillian-
ey. Long before the time set for open.
ing the corridors of either side of the
capitol were crowded, and seat in the
galleries was thing not heard of then,
for some moments at least. At twelve
o'clock, Congress opened and proceed,
ed to business. The first bill of any
importance which was introduced was
by Mr.. Crumpacker, to reduce South,
ern representation.
The colored American., 1900-12-08

Consultation with some of the lead
ers of the race such as Bishop Alexander
Walters, Register Lyons and Recorder
Cheatham concerning the attitude of
the President in regards TO the reduc.
ton of the representation In the South,
leads to the opinion that it is better
after all to fight the battle ont in the
courts than to antagonize the admins
tration in it's policies. In the Crum
packer bill which vas introduced In
the House of Representatives this week,
by Representative Crumpacker of In
diana, it il noticed that the following
States loose several representatives.
Louisiana loses Two, Mississippi three,
North Carolina four, South Carolina
three and Virginia one. In the event
this bill passes both houses of Congress
in its present form, the reduction will
be accomplished without any serious
injury TO the party and unnecessary
revival of strife between the two sec
tons.
We are glad to see the leaders get
ting together on these matters which
are Of 90 much vital interest to the race.

Smalls which appeared in The Colored

ator Cullom of Illinois, who spoke in
terms not familiar With his previous
utterances on suffrage, is an exposition
of facts, pure AID simple, and a noble
plea for right and truth. General
Small is clearly able to speak because
he does so from experience. As an

he knows the customary habits of the
