WHAT SAW AND HEARD.

There is always a day of reckoning.
Some meH may hold big position and
be given little authority, bat it
doesn't last always.
| called at the MetropoIe Club last
week and met my genial friend, Wash
Wood. He is a jolly good fellow and
fine entertainer.
1t is amusing TO see some people
endeavoring to discuss law. II re
minds me ofa mule trying TO walk up
a hill backwards.
Nv friend Fortune was there and as
7 ual had things lively. Fortune says
a sreaf deal and he has a great many
people thinking his way but they are
afraid to say what he expresses.

think Gaskin and Gaines are

city. They keep place that anybody

are no buns allowed in this place and
neither do they cater for second

man who is respected more by the
business people than Mack.

never saw such a treacherous set OF
alleged professional men in all
my life. The good lawyer must be
paid and you want good one don't
fail TO pay your price for him. The shy
ster will take from 5 cents to a pocket
knife.
don't hear so mnCh of the man
who periodically consults the PreSi
dent. 1t is a wonder to me how the
President gets along without the ad-
/ vice of this distinguished lawyer q
and politician. II is a wonder that
the negro has not been ex,erminatod
because the President has not been
advised as to what he should do with
the colored brother.
I did not attend the Afro-American
. Press Association nor the Afro Anne II

surprise ascertGined that there was
/ A great deal of dissatisfaction. | don I
understand why Mr.. White was defeat

the way TIE Bishop knows a good
thing when he gets it.
The colored Editor and his friends

ions with having stolen a watch from
one of them must feel Chagrined. he

would suggest that when white mems
company is bought they should be the
upper tens and not second class. Some
colored people would rather purchase
the company Of a second class white
man than TO associate with their
equals; we'll it is good thing that all
negroes are not alike.

Pigmiss aud Other People.

There are all kinds of rattle
brain people in this country, but
the smallest, the most insign fl
cant and the one: who make the
most noise are the pigmies. The
pigmies are those self recordt d
politicians who have to send let
ters to the newspapers and endeav
or to convince the public that they
are very consequential. They sign
their names to articles that were
written BY some one else and when
they come personally in contact
with intelligent people they imag-
Inc tha: they are rea'y educated.
There are other people in the world
who are not 80 foolish as the Pig
mics. The intelligent man will
rever run to a newspaper every
time he wants to say something,
lie will be interviewed and will
speak in an intelligent mannerand
what is S i'd, is the emination of
his own brain and not what some
one else writes. The worst XII d
ottheives, in thiscouatry, are those
who seal what emiuafes from
other peoples brains. These art
thieves.

From the Dallas Texas Express.
The Washington Bee commences It's
controversy with the Western Star by
calling its editor an ass. Now, Cal
win, won't you be good?
Brother King who can be quiet
when the poodles and other small

you. Close the mouths of these
pooa es and barking dogs and that
Calvin will be quiet. See!

Force VS.. Reason.

There is desire on the part Of
some colored representatives to
advocate armed resistance. It is
advisable to defend yourselves
against attacks or when your home
is being invaded. 1t is not
necessary for any weak Nation to
repel attacks when they are made
by a superior forc". Reason soma
times i es more good han force.
1t IS of EN- more ben f}iaI. The
Negro, 81 far as using 70 CO, is
weak. he has superi,r strength to
mis- sivers sries; but IS it not bet
ter to reason with them rather than
to make armed resistance. when it
is a we'll known fact that they can
not obtain the necessary amuni-
ton? Force will do good some
times and if it is directed to 9
point where it will be effective then
IL is we'll to use it.

The Afro-American Council.

The Afro American Council
which met in Philadelphia, Pa. d,
last week turned out to be a farce.
Hon. Geo. II. White. who has
spent more money than any four
members of the Council to make it
= success. Was defeated for the Pres
idency by Bishop Walters. Just
why Mr.. White Was defeated no
ore knows but the combination.
1t is said that Mr.. White was as
sured that he would he elected 10
succeed Bishop Walters. When the
election took place Mr.. White and
bis friends we're surprised.
