aunt's tongue flying fast as ever. She
would put in her short sentences with

seemed able to think of a dozen things

down her cheeks. My story finished,

Star and the Post started the fund
and f it is to be made a success

charge Of the affair. As an evi-
dence of the negro to make the af
fair a success and as a demonstra
tlon of their enthusiastic proclivi
ties there were one thousand at the

and after the meeting was explain
ed, although they knew the object
of it before they came, only one
man contributed and his name was
Mr.. w. II. Il. Heart, a teacher in
the Law Department of Howard

ten dollars payable by check. The

with all duerespect for Mr.. Parker,
he will never get a house or prop

this committee. The Bee on be-
half of Mr.. Parker and the people
Of this city would suggest that the
whole matter be left to the Star

will be assured. There are certain
negroes who are moved by ion
pulse. They never start or origi
nate anything unless there is some
notOriety to be obtained. They
are moved in instances like this as
they are in revival meetings. 1t is
hoped that the Metropolitan

a piano. She didn't know an octave
from d washboard, but that didn't
matter to Moses. He had the piano
set up in his parlor. Still Mrs. GolduS
wasn't satisfied. One day she told
Goldus he would De a better looking
man if he would shave of his whiskers.
In the next breath she made a demand
for a cIean-shaVen husband, and Gold
US balked.
He said he wouldn't shave and he
didn't. He was arrested and Mrs.
Goldus showed her contempt for whis-
kers by getting a divorce.
Still there was no peace for Goldus
and his whiskers. The ink was not yet
dry on Mrs. Goldus' decree when John

1t Dissents.
From the Afro-American.

From the AtrO-AmeTiCau.
The Washington Bee thinks it well
for the leading Negroes to hold Con.
ference in Washington TO memorial
iZe Congress and the President to put
a stop 10 lynChing.
If the Bee can convince us, beyond
4 doubt that the President and Con
greSS and in fact, the whole Republi.
can party are not almost if not entire
ly Indifferent TO the welfare of the
Negro, except so far as their votes
may help TO keep them in power, we
will consider the suggestion. Other
wise we do not think any good can be
accomplished.
The Bee desires to say to its es-
teemed contemporary that the Pres
ident and also the entire Repub
lican party are much interested
in the negro. Let the negro now
be interested in his own well
fare and he will find support and
encouragement from the sources
claimed to be in doubt as to the
welfare OF the negro. What does
the AfrC-Amsrican expect? Can
the President and the Republican
party stop the negroes from com
mitting crimes and other offences?
Conflict can pass no law to come
in contact with state laws and nei-
ther can Congress or the President
interfere with state laws in viola
lion of his oath of office. The
Constitution of the the United
States defines the powers of the
President and Congress. A non
political conference, Irrespective
of bOlOr would no doubt have its
effect. The Bee &nows the Presi-
dent and knows how be feels to-
ward the negro. The fault is in
brother Murphy. so lets
rsolify the evil if we can.

Perhaps Congress may, no doubt
pass some kind of law making il
a capital offense for any one who
attempts to kill a President.
Judge O'Donnell is receiving
plaudits wherever his name is

gives the offenders fair trial.

Private Secretary Ricketts,, of the
Government Printing Office, is one
