what Doth Il Proti,?


The presence ola number OF hawkers
in this city during the week and the
lively business that they did Is any
thing but creditable 20 the place.
We know this talk will 90 in one ear
and out the other, SO far as a great
many readers are concerned, but il we
can bring the matter i'm its true light
TO a few Of our people we will not be
preaching in vain. Several men have
been selling ruges, clocks, iewelry, etc,
about town. They have been living
at the hotel, paying two dollars per
day spending money about town send
ing money home TO their families and
drawing big pay for their work The
big retailer, for that is all that you
can call Him, Is making a good profit
on his goods: 50 also is the wholesaler
that sells To him. Now, all OF this
must come out Of the purchaser.
These people are not selling wares
about here for nothing. Well wager
Il new hat with any OF our readers who
cares 10 take ms up, lady or gentlemen,
we can duplicate the article they may
have purchased of these men, at the
same or less, price at the local stores.
Speak up, who will take the wager?
Wen put in the provision that an out
of-town Judge will pass upon the goods
50 that We may have the facts IN the
case shown up il their true light.
Remember, price for price and quail
ity for quality.
Not alone in this case but
i'm every other instance where
goods are purchased out OF town sim
ply because they are advertised a few
cents cheaper, we'll wager that they
cost the consumer more In the long
run than those bought right at home.
We will except purchases that are
made ont of town because of selection,
as Is done frequently. Now readers
where are you benefited? You expect
the local merchant Co pay his taxes
and rents and thereby hold mp the
value of your property. You expect
him Go donate 10 every public measure.
You except him Go "chip IL" and help
pay the minister's salary or TO help
build a church and, in an hundred and
one different instances, YOU expect him
20 contribute. yet you do not conceded
him a fair profit ON his goods. Where
is he to get the money TO pay his taxes
or TO contribute So these donations.
He must take them out of his profit,
lie must live and that must come out
of his profits. yet many would rat
her allow these travelling hawkcrs
that profit than the men that are
building up and Keeping up the town
What do YOU get OF them? Not one
mill for the dollars you get from the
local man. Then We would ask you
i'm an fairness, where doth it profit:

A Metamorphosis.

candid, Il was fairly well along IN that

greatly exaggerated. But, no matter
what has been the case in the past IT h
different now and there Is not a more
orderly town in the peninsula than J.
Amasn today. This change Is all due Ia
The attitude which the township board
i,as taken aud they have emphasized
their wishes by the Instructions that,
dinless their mandates ARE carried out =,

main factor ~ enforcing the mandates

OVERDUE BILL PAID.
Sultan Settles Claims Held Against
Him by Uncle Sam.
European Diplomats AstOunded by
Minister Leishman's Success
which Was Due TO FirmnesS
and Persistency.

John G. A. Leishman, United States
minister to Turkey, who collected the
lOng-Outstanding debt of the sublime
porte TO the American government,
was recently transferred from his
post as minister 10 Switzerland TO the
mission at OOnstantinople. He is a
native of Pennsylvania and a resident
of Pittsburgh. His wealth, which is
very great, was accumulated in the
iron and steel industry, from which
he retired a few years ago. This sue
eessful diplomat was reared in the
Protestant orphan asylum at Allie
Rheny. He began his business career
As an Office boy for a physician and
left that place TO accept similar OC-
eupation with the ShOenberger Steel
company. This was a lucky stroke.
in u years he was cashier of the COM
pany and later formed a partnership
with w. P. Snyder in the iron broker
age business. In 1856 he formed his
connection with the Carnegie com
pany and remained with that concern
until 1897. He is noted for his fine
Judgment of paintings and for his rare
sapacity as host.
Congratulations are appropriately
offered to Secretary Hay and Mr..
Leishman upon their remarkable sue
cess in collecting that old s95, 900 claim
of the United States. The achieve
ment VIII be regarded as almost a
miracle by the statesmen of Europe,

civilized nation is Turkeys unwilling
creditor, in the sense in which the
United States was her creditor, but
Uncle Sam is the only member of this

color of the sultan's money.
There seems to be no doubt that
the debt has been collected. The
amount was handed over to Minister
Leishman, and by him placed in the
Ottoman imperial bank TO the credit
of the Unitea States. The United
States has INDUCED in no threats or

Negro OiSfranChisement.

State legislatures in almost every
State South have adopted new
Constitutions and Constitutional
Amendments disfranchising the
Negro. In Alabama and Virginia
the Negro has found some few
friends who have espoused his
cause and have advocated mo e
liberal measures. The more pref
udlced elements in the States Lot
named and who have vigorously
advocated disfranchisement can
not hope to meet with auy success
when these Constitutional Amend

Toadylsm in Official Life.

True womanhood or true mar
hood is a Virture that should be
cultivated by those in official LIFE.
The negro schools in this city are
Oflcered by persons who, to some
extent, are tainted with toadyism
Il is not only true in the public
schools of this city, it is so among
negro members of the press. Fair
and Just criticism will always be
appreciated by those who are criti-
cised. Persons who attempt,
though, to criticise the morals Of
others should themselves be clean
and above suspicion. 1t is always
best for those who may be subjected
10 those IN official life to show
their manhood without being i'm
pudent or impolits,
The Bee is anxious to see at tie
head of the negro schools in this
city a man who has the respect AID
confdsuce of the people. rhe ne

From the Western Star.

From the Western Star.
The Washington Bee in its efforts TO
criticiSe the Baptist ministers union
for turning the calcium light in on that
high class social club ID up there,
makes itself ridiculous by pleading
the it-baCk-at-you act in that it sim
ply says, 'You hit my dog, I'll kill
your cat" 1t charges that these min
isters wink at some things and it stops
there suddenly. 1t is not supposed
that even the minister is to proWl the
community over with a desire to ram
his nose into every little crevice for the
mere sake OF stirring up muss. The
minister, as 2 man Of intelligence,
Irealizes-in the language of Shakes-
peare, that discretion is the greater
part ofvalor, and in the language Of
the Bible that. things that are lawful
are not always expedient-that it is
not always TO the best advantage to
speak out from the house top in con-
demnation of wrong. The fact tkat
| a minister feels that he should lend
his energy and support to the end of
good government, is no reason why he
should not eORdem a wrong even
though it be found in this high class
| up-to-datc and up-to-noW social club
that the Bee stands so nobly for.
| There is no doubt but that some Of
| these pastors members belong to that
"club" you are frenzy about, and
when they condem the clubs wrongs
they condemn their own also. See?
The ed TOR of the Western Star
is about as big an ass as the minis
ters who criticised the
MetropOle Club. If the Baptist
Min isters Union is Of the opinion
that THE BE is not loaded let it
show its hand and if the calcium
light is not turned on it will be
bscsuss the gas will not burn.
Gambling is not the worse offsnse
one may commit. A wsman's
honor is jewel to her and he who
attempts to take it away is more
damaging to 3 community thaa a
first class social Club. Are there
any ministers guilty of the offsnss?

COIsred Conventions.

One Colored Convention has be
held thus far, this Summer, known
as the Womens Convention held in
the city of Buffalo, n Y, which
was a disgrace to the Negro. There
are others to follow, namely: The
Business League, the Afro-Ameri-
can Press Association to be follow
ed by the Afro-American Council,
last but not least VIII be an alleged
Bankers Convention of Negroes to
be held in Buffalo, n. Y. The
Women's Convention that was
held in Buffalo washed a few dirty
linens and resolved to adjourn un-
til next year after having elected a
president and few other officers.
The AfrO-AmCrican Press Associ-
alton will assemble August 9Th,
and a few Methodist bishops will
be introduced or a few one horse
poI leans and they will extol their
own virtures and condemn the vir-
lures of others. The result of all
these Conventions will be the ex-
plOslon Of surplus gas which has
accumulated since their last meet
ings. The Afro-American Council
which is supposed to have among
It's members great negro lawyers,
Ex- Congressman and other digni-
tarles of great legal brain or ability
his emp.Oyed white lawyers and
pud them over a thousands dollars
70 institute proceedings in the
Louisiana State Courts and the
United States Supreme Court in
behalf OF the Negro. This goes to
show just how much confidence
the AfrO-American Council has in
itself and its own members to de-
fend its own interest and the in
terest Of it's members. The Coun-
ell is supposed to have a legal COM
mIttee composed of legal men who
are competent to do what it Las
paid others to do. 1t has demon.
strated its own inability to defen d
itself or its members by employing
white men to look after its own in
crest and the interest of it's mem
bers. just as The Bee has asserted
the white man gets the substance
while the surplus gas will be let off
