What a ridiculous subterfuge True.
as General Tremain states: The
white man Of the South IS not the
coward that he would have the
world 70 believe that he IS, the fear
Of Negro domination The col
ored American has been the bone
Of contention ever since reconstruc-
ton"
General Trenlain plainly shows
how the poor white man in the
South has been the plant tool OF the
rich STAKEHOLDER. The poor white
man IN the late war OF the rebellion
fought TO save the riches OF his
neighbor, not 10 save his home.
The home Of the poor white man
was safe, but the rich planter and
the STAKEHOLDER were projected by
the poor white man, who was soon
!. convinced that he was a victim OF
his own folly.
4 writer 10 the New York Times
from the South said: The eiu-
Gated Negro has only three ambi-
tons: to teach, to preach, or to get
into The penitentiary for forgery
It can be seen that the poor white
man in the South always looks
upon the wrong side Of an educated
colOred man.
The records Of the several courts
in this oollntry shOty that more
white men are sent TO the Peniten-
tiary for robbery, stealing and for
gerry than Negroes. The most
/ heinous crimes are committed by
the white man. The Negro, if any
thing, IS petty thief. He has not
the nerve to carry away banks, trust
companics and other great fnan,
cial institutions.
Give him the same opportunity
no doubt that he would take lessons
/ from his white brother.

SENATOR FORAKER

VIII the Colored Americans
ever paw the debt OF gratitude 10
Senator Foraker? Single handed
and alone he has fought a battle for
the oppressed. With the combined
power Of the administration to op-
pose him, he has at last won the
piaudits OF the American people.
The American people appreciate
gratitude. They believe in manhood
rights notwithstanding conditions.
There is one thing that the masses
Of the Colored Americans regret.
That IS. they have not sufficient sta
bility when others take up their
cause. In almost every instance
they have left their best defenders
to the mercy of their oppressors.
The Bee will say, however, that
their defense and adherance to
Senator Foraker has been remark
able. They have not deserted him,
and they will not notwithstanding
the Senator's declaration TO the Re
publicans Of Ohio that he wanted
his friends to support Representa-
tive Burton. For once they could
not follow the Christian doctrine
OF the distinguished Senator. They
appreciated the liberalty OF the Sen
ator, but they could not realize the
philosophy OF that declaration. Mr..
Burton IS no doubt a great and
good man. bur the Colored Ameri-
cans realized the fact that Mr.. Bur
tons success meant the downfall OF
their friend Senator Foraker. If
Senator Foraker is nominated he
will be elected.

BURLESON OF TEXAS.

Now comes BurlesOn from Texas
who claims to have no feeling
against the Negro, but he would
would remove them all from the
Board Of Education. He claims
that he has two children attending
the city public schools, and the idea
of colored educators Iegislating for
his children IS more than he can
sand.
II the gentleman from Texas
wishes to test the ability of his chill
dren with that OF colored children
in similar grades he will be con-
vinced the coIored children know
more than his. If he wishes to
compare his ability with any col
oreI member of the Board OF Edu-
catios the gentleman from Texas
viii find out just how ignorant he
is.
The row in the schools was not
caused By the Colored members Of
the Board Of Education, but by the
white superintendent. The Board
says that he is incompetent and
inefficient. He is also charged
with acts Of characterization, op-
posing and antagonizing the Board
OF Education, and conduct unbe-
coming a superintendent. This su-
perintendent makes one charge
against a cOlOred member of the
Board, and that charge IS, the col
Ored member urged the appoint
ment Of a highly educated and cul-
tured colored lawyer to the position
of supervising principal. Does the
gentleman from Texas mean to say
that the charge IS sufficient to re-
move every colored member from
the Board of Education?
The Bee wants to say to the
gentleman" from Texas that the
colored people have no desire to
have their schools controlled by
white men. Give them their own
school officers. This is all that they
ask, and nothing more. They have
managed their own schools and are
sufficiently competent to do 50 again
and without the aid of the gentle
man" from Texas.

SECTIONALISM IN
Masked


MASKED.
This IS the caption OF a new
book By General HenryEdwin TIE
main,who has had a personal know
ledge OF the great conflict which IS
today dividing the North and the
South. He treats in a historical
AMI argumentatiye manner OF the
treachery and demagogy Of the
Southern Confederacy or oIigar-
chy. He makes a manly defense
for the colored race, and the color
ed voters in the South who have
been ruthlessly disfranchised in vio-
lation OF the Constitution Of the
United States.
General Tremain says in his op-
ening chapter, as follows: "Abra-
ham Lincoln at Cooper Institute,
conscluding his historic speech on
the evening Of February p, 1860,
cogently exclaimed, What viii sat
isfv the South?' Then, answering
his own question, he said, This,
and this only. Cease to call slav-
cry wrong and Join with them in
calling it right. And this must be
done thOroughly-ione in acts as
well as words. Silence will not be
tolerated-we must place ourselves
ayomedly with them"
To-day the same question is at
hand, What will satisfy the South ?
Everybody knows the answer -
This, and this only Cease to be-
lieve caste government wrong and
JON the South in calling II right
and not in silence, but by acts as
well as in words must the North
range itself ayowedly with the
South in the annihilation Of the
political citizenship OF ten millions
of its people.
Never were truer words uttered.
Those who will advocate and be-
lieye in the teachings of the South
today, that IS the white man, IS
embraced as a brother and citi-
zen Of that section. The prejudice
has permeated the atmosphere Of
the North and now the citizens Of
that section are affected with the
disease. This book exposes in its
true light the motives OF the South
in disfranchising the colored citi-
zens and shows up the cowardice
of the North in permitting this dia-
bolical act.
No true American should be
without General Treman's book. It
should be introduced into theNorth-
ern schools, whereby the children
of those who believed in true liber-
ty should continue to be taught that
which made Washington great,
Jefferson the idol Of his people, and
Lincoln immortal.
This book shows what has be-
come of our Constitution and those
who once believed in It's spirit and
every letter
It IS indeed a sad, sad story he
relates Of the sufferings and con-
dition of the colored citizen in the
South. The failure of the white
Americans to do their duty toward
those who are citizens of this re-
public is fully set forth by the au-
thor. The policy of the South is
to make the colorei Americans feel
their humiliation. To continue to
make the colored Americans the
''hewers of wood and drawers of
water! This is the policy of the
South today.
The subterfuge of the white man
South is Negro domination. -

THE COURTS DECISION.


The court has rendered a decision
in the charges made against the
Board OF Education by DR.. Chan
ceIIor, which was as The Bee al
ways thought it would be.
There has been on offense com
mitted by any member OF the Board
of Education that would warrant
the court to take action. The only
mistake the Board has made was
the appointing of DR.. Chancellor
superintendent of our schools.
The colored people want control
Of their own schools, and the ap-
pointment of their own superin-
tendent and trustees.
The Bee IS informed that an at
tempt has been made by Mr.. Kelly
Ailierand others to save the official
head Of Roscoe c. Bruce. If re-
ports are true The Bee is of the
opinion that Mr.. Miller has all that
he can do to attend to his duties
as acting dean Of the college depart
ment of Howard University.
If Mr.. Bruce has been so unwise
as to allow himself to be a catspaw
for the benefit of others he must
suffer the consequesces. He should
not be transferred to the vacant su-
pervising principalship, but put out
OF the schools, and nothing short
of that will satisfy the people.
Let Bruce follow Chancellor.

THE GENTLEMAN FROM
TEXAS

EAAC
The SUNDAY Herald OF Novem-
Der 18TH contained an interview
from a Democratic Congressman
from Texas to the effect that he
would introduce a bill in Congress
establishing Jim Crow cars in
the District of Columbia, but the
country would think that he was
prejudiced.' The Herald represen-
tative called upon Us and asked for
an interview in reply to the Con
gresham, but Tor some reasons the
Editor's interview was not pub
lshed- The Editor, however, said.
among other things, that it was not
the Negro after the white man or
woman, but the white man after our
women and many white women
after the colored men. II these leg
islators would let our women alone
certainly there would be less fric-
ton among the races.
There are at least three or four
colored sporting houses supported
in this city entirely by white men,
members Of Congress not excepted.
Just why so many Of these South
ern Congressmen pursue our WON
en- and sporting women at that, and
yet they want Jim Crow cars.
The Bee cannot comprehend. OF
course, The Bee doesn't mean to
say that every Congressman from
the South pursue our women, but
it does mean to say Chat many OF
these men who advocate Jim
Crow cars are continually pursu-
ing cOIored women. In many IN
stances our young colored women
are followed by white men and all
kinds of inducements are held out
to them. And in many cases our
women nibble at the bait that is
held out to them. The American
white women don't favor the Jim
Crow" cars as much as the men.
Why does this cry for " Jim Crow
cars come from the Southern men
1t shows that the Southern men
fear that their own women and not
Negro men. No colored gentleman
will Insult a lady; no lady will al
low herself to be insulted by a man.
Some people claim that colored men
and women are in need of plenty of
soap and water. 1t Is quite evident
that filth exists in all races and
among all kinds of people. 1t makes
no difference as to color There
are as many dirty white people who
ride upon street cars as there are
colored. The Bee believes that the
advocates of Jim Crowism" are
found mostly among poor white
people who are not used to very
much and have suddenly risen from
poverty to distinction. The thor
white person never thinks
about his color, but his money.

'CHlNGEIN TEXT BOOKS
jones' Readers Are Adopted By the
Board Of Education.

y 4. L IfiI !
Several changes have been made by
tho board of education in the text
books for the public schools to be
used during the coming year. The
purpose in view was to improve the
standard OF work by bringing all the
teyt books strictly up to date, but in
making the change with the prime OBJ
ject in view oil improving the ssani-
ard OF texts, they have also brought
about a financial saving for the pupil
as all OF the newly adopted books are
less expensive than those formerly
In use in the schools OF the city.
The series of Zones" readers will
be used, which may be purchased at a
saving Of $3.10 over the cost Of the
whole series as formerly used. In
the drawing department will be used
the "Art Education" drawing book
course, which may be purchased at a
saving of SIS cents from the cost OF
the former series. the Webster
Cooley two book course in language
and grammar mas been adopted which
will cost the pupil q cents less than
the old language books. With these
changes In the text books required in
the grade work, a pupil may buy tne
entire set of books used during the
course at a saving Of $4.02 over the
cost of those used last year.
Two new books have been adopted
for use in the high school, the"Moore
& Miner Practical Business Arithme-
tic" and the Myers Ancient History
Another important action which has
beHn taken by the board OF education
is their decision to enforce the com
pulsory attendance law during die
next school year, beginning with ne
opening of the fall term on Sept. 3
The law requires hat all mentally and
physically able children between the
ages OF z to Ia must attend schoo
for sixteen consecutive weeks during
the school year, unless exempt by
sickness or other reasonable excuse
The law was enforced in the city last
year, but only the latter half OF the
year, beginning in December.
