FEELING OF UNREST.

If the cOlOred voters in this
country had any sense at all they
would not think Of fostering an
independent movement IN the in
terest of the Democratic party.
Some people say that Revs. Wal
dren, CorrOthers and others are
making a mistake. That may be
true, but what are the managers
of this party doing to head off
this alleged mistake? These gen
tlemen are sowing a seed of un-
rest and dissatisfaction among the
cOlOred voters, and it will not do
to sit down and make faces at
them. That is not argument.
Their argument must be met with
argument and not abuse. The
argument they are making is that
the Republican party has deserted
the colored American and the
Democratic party doesn't want
him. Is this so or not. That is
the question that must be an
swered. If these gentlemen believe
what they tell the people they
have right to their opinion.
Now let them be answered.

Then walk up Seventh street, near
L street northwest, and watch
dozens of colored men and women
standing In line to a separate en-
trance to enter the Happyland
moving picture show. In this
town there are dozens of first-class
vaudeville and motion picture
theaters that will do credit to the
colOred people. Namely, Ford
Dabney, one of the finest and best
in the city; the MaceO, Hiawatha
and others. Then, there is the
Howard Theater, a first-cIass
house for the people, where there
is no discrimination. This, to a
great extent, doesn't suit the col
ored people, because the managers
don't 'jim crow" them. There are
some colored people who are never
happy unless they are forcing
themselves where they are not
wanted. Away with the sim
crow" negro.

The brothers Montgolfier were on
friendly terms with the celebrated
statesman Boissy d'Anglas, and they

AVERT THE CALAMITY.

We are not quite sure that the
Republicans fully appreciate the
strength and necessity of the col
ored vote in the Northern States
this fall. With the Democrats in
fighting trim and determined on
securing the next House, and with
this insurgent disaffectiOn in our
own ranks, Republican success
cannot be secured by standing pat.
Whenever a new issue catches the
white man, the cOlOred man is sure
to become inOculated.
The Democrats are flushed over
their unprecedented victory In
Maine and are pushing on. A
number of Republican Congress
men in the Northern States are III
doubt as to their reelection. Re-
ports have been received by The
Bee that indicate that in some dis
tricts the colored vote is apathetic.
1t is up to the Republican
party, and especially all loyal col
ored Republicans, to enthuse this
vote. The colored vote in many
Congressional districts will form
the balance of power that may
elect or defeat. 1t would be a
calamity from which the race
might not recover for years if the
Democrats succeeded In securing
control of the next Congress. Al
ready they have captured a Sen
ator and two Representatives in
Maine. And this is sufficient to
bestir Republicans to the import
ance of every vote. Let us avert
the calamity.

In Eurone.

Principal Booker T. Washington, of
the Tuskegee Institute, who is in Eu-
rope at this time, was the guest of
Mr. Andrew Carnegie at his home,
Skibo Castle, Scotland.
All reports are to the effect that
DR.. Washington is being literally
swamped with attentions from the
most important men of the Continent.
He has been invited, and has accepted
the invitation, to speak before the Ma
tional Liberal Club, London, Oct. o.
This organization is composed OF
many of the most important men in
London, and particularly of statesmen
of one kind and another controlling
the destinies of the Liberal party.
The occasion will be one of extreme
moment in the direction of making IA
vorable sentiment for the Negro peo-
pie.

A NEGRO DAILY.

The Editor of The Bee has re-
ceived several letters, mostly from
the South, urging him to organize
a stock company for a daily pa
per, edited by cOlOred men. The
South says one editor will suffice,
an editor like the editor of The
Bee. Is there a necessity for a
daily at the Capital of the Nation
published in the interest OF the
colored people? Will the colored
race support a frst-class daily?
The Editor will be pleased to

GOOD TIMBER.

The Board of Education is not
lost for good timber as the sue
cessor of the present assistant su-
perintendent of the colOred
schools. The appointment of Mr..
James Z. Walker, the present su-
pervising principal, would meet
with universal approval, and all
of this friction In the schools, the
Normal School No. 2, especially,
would cease. Mr.. Walker doesn't
believe in tattlers, and neither
would he tolerate so much petty
jealOusies that now exist In the
cOlOred schools. He is a fair man.
in whom the teachers have con-
fidence. Bruce could be trans
ferred to a teachers position in
the High School, where he could
with propriety display his college
ability. He would then only have
supervision over a class, in which
position he could not only display
his college ability, but his execu-
tive ability, which is about large
enough for an English class that
he may be given to teach.
The colored schools are in need
of a head such as Mr.. Walker,
who would reflect credit on our
schools. VIII President Cox, Capt.
Oyster and other members of the
Board of Education get together
on The Bees suggestions!
The Bee takes this opportunity,
gentlemen, to convince you that
you will not regret the change.
This change will give you less
work to do and less anxiety. There
will be no peace in the colored
schools as long as the present head
is in charge.
The Bee would like to see Prof.
Montgomery reappOinted, but it is
understood that he cannot be, for
reasons unknown to The Bee and
himself. Give us a change or abOl-
ish the office. If you are not sat
isfied with any of the above, the
law doesn't say that a woman can
not be appointed. In some States
there are female superintendent.
Miss Matte Shadd would be sat
isfactOry; so would Mrs. Mussey.
1t makes no difference as to the
complexion or sex, so long as there
is a change in the head of the
colored schools.
The Bee has no prejudice as to
sex or color. This paper is not
color prejudiced, and voices the
sentiment of nine-tenths of the
teachers In the colored schools.
Canvas the schools, and if you do
so, guarantee their protection
Such are the conditions.

Ford DabneY.

One of the best and up-tO-date po-
lite vaudeville and motion picture
theaters is the Ford Dabney, corner
of Ninth and y streets northwest.
Mr.. Dabney is young man, but no
novice in the theatrical business. His
vaudeville acts are all up to date and
the participants are all high-class sing
ers and actors. The show this week
is high class, and next week will be
greater. The only regret is that this
theater is not half large enough to
accommodate the people.
The manager and other assistants
are business men of high-class order,
and if you want to be treated well
and see a first-class show, Ford Dab
ney is the place, and household word
in the city.

one not only to us and his family,
but also to his community and race,

Whereas that, as a COmrade at Yale,
we were forced to form a close at
tachment for him because of his jOvial
nature, the inspiration we received
from his conversations and the 10y

spirit of the institution,
Be it resolved, That we hereby ex-
press our sorrow for the untimely
death of such a noble young man, and
hereby extend to his parents and rela-
tives our heartfelt sympathy in this,
their hour of saddest bereavement, and
Be it further resolved, That we
cause a copy of these resolutions to
be sent to the family, and also be

ThIckest Skin of Anv Animal

The skin of hippopotamus is about
the thickest covering worn by any
animal on earth. That of the whale
is only slightly thicker, but then the
whale lives in the sea and not upon
the earth. By reason of this thick hide
the hippopotamus can laugh at or
dinary bullets, which merely tickle
him unless they strike him In
the eye, the nostrils or the ears.
Therefore, when shooting hippopo-
tami, the sportsman uses ex-
plOsiye bullets with sharp steel points.

THE EXCURSION SEASON.


The excursion season has come
to a close. The Independent
Steamboat Company, under the
management of Col. Louis Jeffer-
son and Mr.. Bensinger, contrib
uted greatly to the pleasure of the
colored citizens during the past
summer. This company was not
supported as it should have been.
If there had been a ''jim crow"
opposition excursion company
during the past summer no doubt
the colored people would have
given it the same support they
gave the one last summer.
When the cOlored people learn
to support their friends and stand
by one another they will succeed
better. No two men were any
more loyal and accommodating to
the people this summer than Mr..
Bensinger and Col. Louis Jeffer-
son. Let us keep our eyes open.
