sane? There IS nothing in the
democratic party for Colored
Americans, and never will be.
Men have a right to exercise
their own judgment, but, so lar
as Colored men are concerned
there are exceptions. Look, II
you please, when you are in car
at the opposite race and ask
yourself the question, Am l an
American citizen? If you are an
American citizen, are you not the
equal of those who discriminate
against you? What will the col
ored man do under present con-
ditions? Race prejudice is more
rampant now than at any other
time in the history OF this reupb-
lie. The argument that is beingg
advanced by those colored men
who are supporting Mr.. Bryan is
fimsy. 1t is ridiculous. The
idea of praising the party that
declares the colored mans infer
iorty and condemning the-party
that recognizes equality of citi-
zenship. What has become OF
the colored mans senses? Is he
crazy? Nothing is more humili-
ating than to see your wives and
daughters Disseminated against

made in circular issued by few
preacher-politicians and others were
characterized as false. He says to
so brand them was insulting, but
he does not attempt to show that the
referred to are not false.
When a preacher turns politician,
and gets down to the tricks of the
game by exaggeration, deception, ms
statements, and all the other chican-
cry of the common politician, he nor
his friends should complain when
their acts and methods are held up
to public view and their statements
challenged. If the efforts being put
forth by these men concerned only
themselves, and if they did not claim
to represent a large voting class OF
members of their race, it would be
nobody's business to criticise them,
and no one would need care whether
they went TO the Democratic or 10
some other place; but their efforts,
if successful, mean calamity to ten
million American citizens already
burdened almost beyond endurance by
The acts of the party they would hand
over the administration of this gov
ernment. and the liberties of their
people. Mr.. Bryan has pronounced
it a falsehood that he has givenrany
assurances to these Negroes. Then
he has insulted them, also; but they
go right along supporting him just
the same.
In Oklahoma the Democratic con-
stitution recognizes the Indian as a
white man, and outlaws the Negro
as a citizen.
In national politics the Negro can
hope for nothing more from theDem-
ocratic party than what this Okla
homa constitution has given him.
l have risked something for the
little liberty 1 enjoy in this country,
and for one do not propose to re-
main passive while those who have
been benefited by my services are now
attempting to barter my liberties
away.

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
DANGEROUS REVOLT.

The knowing ones among the
colored politicians claim that the
Negro revolt will be harmless
cyclone. Never before in the his
tory Of the American body-poli-
tic has there ever been such
revolt among colored Americans.
Whether the actions of the Ad-
ministration warrant it is a ques-
tion that must be decided by col
ored Americans. Colored men
should ask themselves the ques-
ton, Do the actions of the Adj
ministration justify the revolt
among colored Republicans?
Does the discharge OF the color
ed troops justify the colored vot-
er to leave the Republican party?
Hsa Ex-SecretaryTaft done any
thing TO warrant the colored vot-
er o desert him for Mr.. Bryan?
The history Of the Republican
party has been one that COM
mends itself to the colored Am
erican. What then is the colored
mans justification? What is his
argument?
COloTed men should consider
wisely what is to be done before
they make the fatal move. They
should look far ahead and see
what the future will bring forth.
There are politicians in this
country who arrogate to them
selves superior power. There
are many the masses disregard.
What man should come forward
and direct coloredAmericans and
teach them the truth?
The Bee warns the country to
treat not slightly the revolt in
the ranks Of the eolored Ameri-
cans. The Republican managers
in the present campaign seem to
disregard the argumentthat sbc-
ing advanced by those in revolt
against the party. The right
men are not upon the stump.
Colored Americans hhave lost
confidence in those who claim TO
represent the colored people.
The leadership OF Prof Booker
T Washington IS sincere. He
has the welfare of his race at
heart and his teachingsAwill do
much to assist his people. The
revolt is dangerous, republicans
take heed.

BECOMES A FARMER.

Mr.. Robert L. Mitchell, formerly
principal of the Mott School, was
at one time one Of the most active
politicians in the State of Virginia.
Mr.. Mitchell was secretary and treas
urer of the Petersburg, Va, College,
man in whim the people had the
most implicit confidence Mr.. Mitch
ell resigned his principalship and
went to Virginia to assume charge
of his new position.
Thousands Of dollars passed through
his hands, and not one cent was miss
ing when he resigned to go to Win
chester, Va, to assume charge OF his
father-in-' laws livery business. &E1is
father-in-law was named Charles
Orick. and he was one of the best
liked and one of the most prominent
men in the State. Mr.. Mitchell con-
Quoted this business after Mr.. Orick's
death, until some evil-designed person
burned him out. In this FIRE thirty or
forty carriages were lost and many
fine horses. Mr.. Mitchell employed
thirty or forty men.
He was married to Miss Orick,
who attended Howard University and
from which institution she was grad
uated. She is a lady of remarkable
refinement, as we'll as industrious.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mitchell have reared
family consisting of three young IL
dies and young man. Twoe are
teachers. The youngest young lady

no two happier persons in old his

The friends and acquaintances Of
Mr.. Mitchell who knew him in the

sight of seeing him today as farm

 will respond to the call, including the old players as we'll as any new candidates. All are welcome to try for positions, as nothing but fairness and impartiality will be extended to all in the selection of team.
 Warden William T. Rodenback has issued the call for the special meet ing of the freemen to decide the question regarding the resolution which was presented to the board of warden and burgesses at it's last meeting. The resolution wants to give to committee to be appointed by the warden and burgesses the power to purchase a site for the hose house at a cost not to exceed $10,000 and also to procure plans for the hose house and to cause the same to be erected, the price of which must not exceed $40,000 The meeting will be held next Friday in the office of the borough clerk and the ballot box will be opened from 1030 a. m. until D. m., as was stated before in this column, it is likely that the proposition in it's present form will be defeated as the freemen are op- posed to giving any such authority to any committee. If the names of the members of the committee would be made known 1t might perhaps have some weight with those who are opposed to the scheme, but with the term of the present board so near an end there are not few who are little suspicious of what might be done by some of the members of the present board and for that reason they prefer that the site and the building be made two separate is sues.
