from the Emperor that Jerome shall

refuses to allow Betsy to land.
Jerome is indignant but is pursuad-
cd to go ashore and meet his broth

boards the ship He tells Betsy
that she must rcnounce jerome.
This she cannot do-cannot give up
her love Napoleon tells her that

her that She, as an American girl,
owes q debt--the debt OF Layfay-

not hesitate to give up their own

Americas hour of need. He tells
her that it is necessary for the vel
fare OF France that Jerome should
marry the Princes OF Wurtemberg,
and in gratitude for what France
did for her county, he pleads with
her ITO renounce her lover.
The final act brings us back to
Betsy's home in Baltimore. All are
awaiting the return of the Patter-

TROUBLE-BREEDERS.

There are two or three clerks in
the departments striving their
hardest to foment an estrange-
ment between some of the high
colored officials, the, the clerks,
having a selfish end in view.
They 90 first to one and then to
the other with magnihed stories,
believing that by separatin the big
fellows they will be gamers. 1t
has come to the Bee that they
circulated a story, and tried to
make Mr.. Vernon believe it, that
Judge Terrell, at the Douglass
Day affair Monday last, tried to
prevent Mr.. Vernon from speak
ing by not inviting him on the
stage The fact is that Mr.
Terrell called for Mr.. Vernon to
come forward on the platform as
soon as he went up to call the
meeting to order, but it happen
ed that Mr.. Vernon was not IN
the pavilion at that moment and
did not hear him ask that the lat
ter come up on the stage. This
the Bee knows to be true. Just
to show that Mr.. Vernon is get
ing next to the trick sf these
would-be troADle-breeders, he
wired Mr.. Terrell to be sure and
come to the New York meeting
to speak with him.
The Bee is informed, reliably
that the colored officials are thor,
oughly on to the animuS of these
would-be trouble-makers who
have a selfish end in view. BE
ware of the Greeks when they
bear gifts is still applicable tc

OPENING OF THE CAM
PAIGN.

PAlCN.
1t can be set down that the
meeting at Youngstown, Ohio,
last Saturday, was the first gun
fired in the impending president
ial campaign. Chairman Hitch
cock has been busily engaged iii
holding conferences with the
chiarmen and potent political
leaders in the various states, and
now plans political fast rounding
into shape, and by the last of this
month the campaign will be on in
full swing, and an organized
army of Republicans will take the
field to force the battle unntil the
close of election day in Novem-
Der.
Naturally there has been some
concern as to what part, if any,
the Negro was to play in this
campaign. There were some who
had the temerity to believe the
Negro vote was to be ignored,
and these were they who we're
rather sOlicitiOus about the caring
for the Negro vote. And these
were they who, noting the noise
and buster made by a few Ne
grOes in the pay OF Democracy,
who were fearful that the noise
came from many frogs instead of
a few crOaking inhabitants of the
swamp. Let none, however, en-
tertain any doubt as to the recog-
milton of the Nergo in this cam
paign. No class will be ignored,
but all classes, and all factions
will be brought into a harmo-
nious unity for the success of the
Republican ticket. In fact, it is
altogether probable that Chair
main Hitchcock and his advisers
have every detail of the campaign
worked out and their plans now
perfectly matured. No doubt
hundreds of suggestions have been
volunteered to the Chairman and
his advisors, and to many they
have listened, but all suggestions
could not be accepted. The men
called into the campaign, or who
will be called in may be depended
upon to give their best endeavOrs
for the success of the Republican
ticket. Taft and Sherman" will
be the cry from now on, and Taft
and Sherman will be elected. On
the stump will be many of the
ableSt and most convincing Negro
speakers, and back of the organ
izers will be the influence and ad-
vice of the most astute, able and
careful men of the race-men who
will have no selfish end to adj
vance; men who will have but one
purpose-the election of Taft and
Sherman. The alleged Negro
revolt, under the leadership of
alters, Waldron, Dubois ct. al,
will shortly become an hallucina-
ton. And let be said that The
Bee has not receded a hairs breath
from it's position taken long be-
fOrethe nomination, viz; The Bee
is for the Republican party with
or without Taft. Judge Taft
was honestly nominated. 1t was
the will of the party that he be
our standard-bearer, and The
Bee accepted him, and in the
language Of Senator Foraker che
is ouE leader" "

mars life when he starts wrong.
There is no excuse for him if he
fails. 4 man must be out of his
head if he goes to the edge OF
a precipice and jumps off. If he
is a sensible man there is no eX-
cuse for him. So It is with men
in politics.
Mr.. Dubois has declared for
Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Du BOis is an
educator, and not politician.
He doesn't know the first rudi-
ments Of politics. His first ad-
vent in politics is to support Mr.,
Bryan. If he were an idiot there
would be some excuse for him.
He is supposed to be an intelll-
gent and educated man. If this
is his first public act in the wrong
direction The Bee has its doubts.
Mr.. Du Bois starts wrong. He
makes a fatal error in the begin
ming of his public career. He
claims citizenship in a State that
will not permit him to exercise
the rights of a citizen, and IS
prevented from so doing by the
party in whose interest he has
declared. Is his act sensible?
Bishop Walters, Rev. Waldron
and others have followed in the
same path. If you ill-treat an el-
ephant or any kind of an animal
he will never forget you. You
give an elephant a piece OF to-
bacco and he will never forget
YOU. On the other hand, if you
take some cOlored Americans
and cut their legs off, they Will
love you just the same. The
harder you treat many OF them
the better they will love you.
The Bee must confess, while
a man has a perfect right to ex-
ercise his own judgment, many
of these colored men who have
declared for the Democratic par
ty must be insane.
McCabe, formerly of Kansas,
but now of Oklahoma, has no
excuse for leaving the Republi-
can party. He has been a ward
of the Republican party ever
since he has been able to walk.
George w. Murray, who was
driven out of South Carolina by
the Democratic party, has become
A convert to that party. Here IS
a man who has been protected by
the Republican party ever since
he has been free. Certainly the
rank and file of colored Ameri-
cans would not have these men
sacrifice their manhood (?) to
save them.
