Attorney Aultman has written letter saying that he does not intend to return to Prescott. Among the last acts which he did prior to leaving here was to borrow money from his friends and get some drafts cashed which were after wards repudiated by the parties on whom they were drawn, and his friends who cashed them were mulcted for the full amount. Aultman bore splendid reputation in his former home in Texas as well as in Prescott during the time he resided here, and his actions are com plete surprise to all. The cause of his actions are not known. In the letter he wrote, dated February ?, he stated that he intended taking an ocean vOy- age and saying it would be impossible to discover his whereabouts.

The only individual of color that 1

not much bigger than a pickaninny,
who was throwing rocks at a vacated

"'Want to go fishing, son?' said to
the boy.
'Yessuh, he replied, without any
hesitation.

division of the government.
Attention was first called to Mr..
Allies when, as a young man, he was
acting as assistant messenger in the
office of the commissioner of internal
revenue. One afternoon Mr.. Charles
Chesley, who was at the head of that
department late in the SOS, was pass
ing in front of his office where Allies
was stationed and discovered him
with his elbows on each side of a
misunderstanding, sheepskin-bOund
volume, his head between his hands.
Mr.. Chesley I6oked over the young
mans shoulder, glanced at the pages
and eiaculated:
"Humph! Blackstone, eh? Night
school at the National university?
Keep it up and You won't be a mes
senger in the government service

a week later the assistant messen-
ger was given desk in the corner
of Mr.. Chesley's Office, and there he
was stationed until an opportunity
came for him to take the civil serv-
ice examination for a law clerk, with
a salary grade of $1,000 a year
From this his Advancement was rap

present position by President Nc

Town of Early Marriages.

probably holds the record for early
marriages. The place is a thriving
mining town of about 10000 popu-
lation. The majority of tie marri-
ages are contracted when the bride
groom is from IS to 90 years of age,
and the bride generally about two
years younger. The marriages, as a
rule, are happy ones, for the young
miner of IS or 90 is able TO earn q
splendid wage. After d few months

Endorsement of labor leaders, of
judges Of the courts and of members
of both houses of congress. The
only regret felt ny those who read
the words of commendatiOn in his
Endorsements was that a still higher
post was not open for so singularly
meritOriOus parsonage. His appoint
ment was accordingly agreed upon.
But as soon as his name went out by
the Associated Press a flood of pro-
tests came in, alleging that the man
was an eX-convict and wholly un-
worthy of the place.
Secretary Lamar was much exer-
cised about the matter and asked
Col. Wright what he thought Of do
ing.
Il purpose" was the answer, "to
dismiss the man at once and then
give to the press in the afternoon
the names of all the persons who
have indorsed him for this place"
"Do you dare to do that?" ques-
toned the secretary of the interior.
Il certainly do. l do not intend to
be bunkoed into appointing ex-con-
victs to office and having the per-
sons who indorsed them escape"
On the list issued to the press ap-
peared the very judge who had tried
this man. 1t also became known that
the man was not only an ex-convict,
but was then under Indictment on
another charge.
The day after the publication of
the list OF indorsers a congressman
was appealing urgently for an APP
pointment of a friend, when Mr.
Cleveland, with the utmost serious
ness, remarked: ~ suppose if your
friend should go wrong you would
be perfectly willing to have your
name printed in connection with
what you are saying to me to-day.
One of the new rules of this admin
istration, you know, is that when

dependent and reproduced in The
Bee. The first portion of the article
vas published in The Bee last week
aud 1t is concluded in this weeks
issue. 1t should be read by every
one because it vas written by a
well educated southern colored
woman. An article will appear in
the next weeks issue of The Bee
written bya white woman who takes
opposite views and it is an article
that every negro should read. It is
the opinion of a white woman what
the southern negro is and what she
thinks of the servant and educated
negro. 1t seems as if the educated
southern negro is more offensive to
this woman than the common negro
servant. She doesn't believe that
any negro woman is virtious and
neithsr is any negro entitled to the
respect of any white person. DON'T
fail to read next weeks Bee and
see what other peoples opinion is
of the negro woman.

Political Mountebanks.


The Indianapolis World, like the
THE BEE, is tired of seeing the
parade of political mOuntebanks.
The great trouble with the negro
race today is, there are too many
political mOunte5anks endeavoring
to control political sentiment IN
that race by subterfuge and dema-
gOguery. Editors who ought to know
better and do know better, but for
merceuary and selfish motives, see
wrongs perpetrated against their peo
pie, don attempt to condemn them,
because they have been promised
some political Job or because they
are given a bit of "flthy lucer." "
The negro race is being deceived
by these political mOngels who con-
denim honest men because they fear
lessly express themselves and point
out the wrongs perpetratei upon
the race. The negro need not have
any fear, to the extent, that every
white nan is inimical to mis- inter
estanl he eneed not come TO the cOn-
clusion that every white man wants
to fool him Thelily white party Ill
the Son,h died before it was
born and Notwithstanding the re-
treat of those who fathered that
movement, there are negro editors
in this country, today, making ex
cuses for the diabOlical wrongs per
petrated upon the negro, Honest
men in the negro race are OstrOcised
and condemned by the political
mountebanks. 1t is not presumed
that ignorant negroes will be ap-
pointed to Office any mora than ignO
rant white men. 1t is not expected
that men who are ignorant be per-
miJted to vote. But, in disfranchis-
ing voters all should be treated
alike. There are many intelligent
cOlOred men in the South. The dem
ocratic party South is in possession
of all that it lost. That party has
nothing to lose at this time. The
negro slave who was once the prop
erty of the slave holder and who re-
garded him a precious article has no
more use for him now since he is
not comfortable. The ex-slaVe own
ers whose defendants are the demo-
cratic party, today, have adopted
methods South to eliminate the ne
gro are those who are the decend-
ents of the once enslaVed; who
have not direct control of the negro,
is placed In a submissive position
where his vote is non effective. The
negro feeds himself now, whereas
in former years he was fed by his
master. Every white man South is
not opposed to the negro any more
than every white pan North. There
are Judas Iscoriots" among the
negroes who have them all to persue
one trade or business. These false
admirers are controlled by men
who are opposed 10 the progress of
the negro. They are political noun
teOanks, leaders for re5 enue only
and Disseminated apologists. THE
BEE is more surprised at the at
titude of the New York Age than
any other journal edited by the ne
gro. There are but few crooked
Editors in this country who are
ready and willing to sell the devil |
in their offices.
There is one or two things that |
negro editors have not learned and |
that is to be manly. No man can |
