AN OBTECT-LESSON.

In another column of The Bee
will be seen an excerpt from the
Durham, (N. CO. Recorder, a
journal published at Durham, NC.
This excerpt shows what cOlored
Americans are doing in the South
to elevate themselves in the way
of business. The colored men
North, in Boston, especially on the
order of Mr.. William Monroe
Trotter are doing nothing but find
ing fault with the progressive col
ored men South. This excerpt, to
which The Bee calls attention OF
its readers, speaks in glowing
terms of the Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company, which is one of the
leading companies in the Southland
far superior to any in the North.
The progress of colored Amer
leans South is an object-lesson to
the Northern failures.

1t looks as if the National Negro
Fair, which is to be opened this
fall at Mobile, Ala, is to be a big
thing. President H. n. Newsome
has broken ground for a $4,000
main exhibit building, and the re-
mainder of the work will be push
ed with vigor. A tangible showing
of what the race is really doing
will bring more results than all the
loud-moutled claims and hotIair
oratory we can put up between
now and doOmsday.

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
WILLIAM MONROE TROI.
TER.

TER.
The editor Of the Boston Guar
dian, Mr.. William Monroe Trot-
ter, has seen ht from time to time
to throw a few Of his scurrilous
filings at the editor of The Bee.
His Washington correspondent,
who is known to The Bee, is too
cowardly to come from under Gov
er and sign his name to his weekly
letters to that paper.
The Bee has been fair to them
both, and in many instances The
Bee has defended them against the
many assaults made upon them.
Mr.. Trotter's first advent in pub
lie affairs was at Louisville, KY,
when the Afro-American Council
refused him and his delegation ad-
mittance to the counsels of that
body. He was forced to leave the
scene Of action and retire to the
shades of Boston, Mass, where he
and his cohorts charged Mr.. Book
T. Washington with having kept
them out. From that day Mr..
Trotter made personal attacks up
on Mr.. Washington until he and
his satellites were rePudiated by
the intelligent citizens OF Boston,
Mass. Mr.. Trotter appealed to
The Bee frequently to help him
and attack the president OF Iuske-
gee, saying among other things
that anything The Bee would say
in behalf Of Mr.Washington would
be used against him and be a help
TO Editor Fortune, who was at the
time attacking the Rev. Ransom at
the time his (RansOm's) conduct
South became public property.
The Bee has never seen mt to
follow Mr.. Trotter in his mad and
insane policy against Mr.. Wash
ington and Tuskegee. The Bee
will not tell all it knows and the
motives that prompted Mr.. Trotter
Washington until it is forced to do
in his many vile attacks upon Mr'
so.
Does the Editor of the Guardian
deny the charge of The Bee! Does
hisWashington correspondent dare
to deny that The Bee is in pos
session of facts and documents to
verify what it charges? The Guar
dian would have its readers to be-
ieve that its support OF Mr.. Bryan
and the Democratic party IS from
he is too righteous and patriotic
TO receive one cent from the Dem
ocratic party.

ter asked the Democratic commit

without consulting the president.
DR.. Booker T. Washington appeal
ed to the President to revoke the
order of dismissal. DR.. Washing
ton has always Been loyal to the
colored Americans, and so far as
Mr.. Taft IS concerned The Bee
has every reason to believe that
the colored Americans, as well as
the entine country, will prosper and
he deny that he has not asked for
money to relieve his financial
wants. TIE Bee awaits witk pa
tience a reply.

 1. It fully appears by the said appeal that the respondent, in removing the appellant from the office of police com missioner of the city of New Haven, acted within the legal limitations of the charter of the city of New Haven relating to the removal of officers ap- pointed by him as mayor of said city or by his predecessor in office.
 2. It fully appears by the said ap- peal that the appellant was duly served with a written statement of cer- tain charges made against him, and that the appellant was at the same time served with a written summons to appear before the respondent as mayor of the city of New Haven, at a proper time and date for a hearing upon said charges, and that the appel lant appeared at said time and place to answer said charges and was given a full, fair and impartial hearing by the respondent on the said charges; and that the appellant was thereupon found guilty of the offence specified in said charges and thereupon legally re- moved from the office of police com missioner of the city of New Haven by the respondent, acting within the scope of his executive authority and discre- tion as mayor of the city of New Ha- ven.
 3. Ii does not appear by said appeal that the appellant upon the hearing of said charges waa denied or deprived of any legal right given him by law
 4. That the power to remove the ap- pellant for cause was vested by the charter of the city of New Haven in the mayor of said city, and since the cause for which the respondent as mayor of said city removed the ap- pellant was on its face a lawful cause. and since the respondent as mayor found said cause existed after hear ing given to the appellant thereon and removed the appellant therefrom, this court has no jurisdiction to review his action therein for the purpose of deter mining whether in fact said cause ex- isted, and whether the respondent on said hearing duly weighed the evil dence.
 ,. That the removal of the appellant by the respondent under the charter of the city of New Haven was solely and exclusively an administrative proceed ing and not d judicial proceeding. and that the appl al from the action of the rpSpondent in removing the appellant can only bring before this court the validity of the removal in view of the proceedings required by law before the removal is made; and that upon this appeal this court cannot hear or retry the facts upon which the re moyal was made or inquire into the motives which induced this respondent in tine exercise of his executive discre- ton to makt said removal.

DIAMOND SALEsMAN's SECRETS.

There is no line in which more rare must he exercised than in selling diamonds" remarked one of the old est dealers in Cleveland For instance We don't dare show man larger stone than he can afford to buy. Even a diamond a carat or a carat and a half in size looks like mighty small affair to pay so much money for. and if man comes in expecting to pay s75 Tor a diamond he may get disgusted and not buy at all if the saleman shows him something a little larger for s200. The salesman, If he knows his business, will find 10 q certainty just how much a customer is willing to pay before he shows him anything Then it's better not to show a coiored stone. such as a ruby or an emerald or a buish diamond in connection with other diamonds If you show some customers a colored stone and then put 1t away and show him good white diamond he will declare that the diamond is off color It does not seem to be whm so much as the ef- feet on the eyes of the colors in the stones s-Cleveland Plain Dealer
