WHERE Pastor Loftin made a mis-
take was in dealing with Editor
Saunders in the manner he did. In
stead OF referring to him in a sermon
he should have gone after him with a
horsewhip or a hickory stick. If the
grievance had become unbearable the
pulpit was not the place to settle it.
And we happen to know this preach
er is neither a moral nor a physical
coward.

Mr.. J. J. Pettigrew, the blacksmith,

tells us he shod one year ago, and
he is still wearing his same shoes.
Occasionally he takes them off to

shoes back.-Mebane Leader.

He cOnceives it to be his duty to as

hands.

the face of the fact that the Governor

This is a long time ahead of the show

shows in that part of the State-at
Charlotte particularly-when they
were through there the last time. If
there is to be any confusion of dates
this year it will not be their fault.

THE women have taken hand in
committing murder in Mecklenburg
county. Within two weeks two
negro women have done murder,
jealousy being the cause in both in
stances. In the first case n woman
was killed, her throat cut, because
she had taken another woman's hus-
band from her, and in the second the
man was killed, both barrels of
shot gun emptied into his face, be-
cause he had left his wife for another
woman. The outraged woman walk
ed six miles and carried a shot gun
to commit the terrible deed.

Paris.-The probability that the

IS an artistic promenade and chill
dren's paradise has been strengthened
by action Just taken by the municipal
council OF Paris. The council not
only refused to grant permit for the
construction Of Philharmonic palace
on the site of the now defunet sum-
mer circus, but voted to investigate
concessions previously granted, look-
ing to the removal Of some OF the
music halls and restaurants now four
ishing there.
This Official action is In keeping
with the true Partisan spirit The enc
occasion on which the Frenehman
looses his pursestrings without . mur-
muir Is when an expenditure for mE-
nicipal establishment is proposed.
No other city watches over the beauty
OF Its boulevards and parks with such
jealous care. Succeeding municipal
administrations differ widely on al
other points. but whether the govern
ment is nationalist 0r socialist, its
hrst aim Is Invariably to maintain In
tact the artistic inheritance Of Eu-
ropes most beautiful capital.
There was almost a revolt, IL years

successful business men of this city,
who died after a very short illness,
were inferred in Harmony Gene
terry last Monday. His short i'll
ness and subsequent death greatly
shocked his family and a host Of
friends, who did not realize his con-
dition, nor anticipate his sudden death.
1t IS said that he contracted a heavy
cold, causing spinal and other physi-
cal complications, which could not be
overcome by medical science.
Deceased was but twenty-one years
of age, and is said to have been one
of the most gentle and promising
young men of this day and generation.

movement of the National Polit-
ical League against the President
and the Republican party may
not to amount to anything. The
Bee is of different opinion.
There is a feeling of unrest
among the colored men in this
country. Many of them have
come to the conclusion that it
makes no difference whether they
are drowned at sea or burned up
while on the ship. It would be
wise for those who are close to
the administration to tell a true
story and advise the President
of the unrest among colored vot-
ers. The Democratic party is of
fering no inducements, but this
doesn't seem to deter the colored
voter in the least. The Bee
would advise the friends of the
administration to watch this
movement.

WOMAN HEAD OF
GCHOOT .

The election of a woman as
president Of the National Associa-
ton of Educators of the United
States is not only an advanced
step for the successful incumbent.
but also blazes the path for
woman in other important places
in our public schools. The ques-
tiOn of sex should not be the par
amount consideration in the selec-
ton of teachers brains, morals
and integrity, as well as scholastic
ability, should be important fac
tors. As an object lesson, take the
public schools for cOlOred children
in the District of Columbia.
Could a more lamentable failure
be put on exhibition than the one
now at It's head? He is to all
intent and purpose worse than the
late depOseG DR.. Chancellor, of
the white schools, and he was the
limit. This unsOphisticated youth
came to Washington with more
glittering college medals on his
breast than worn by General
Miles for bravery on the battle
field; and when called upon to
display judgment and knowledge
in the management of large and
sacred trust proved he was une-
quail to the task. Now, having
given a fair and impartial trial
to him, why not place a sure
enough man or woman in charge I!
Woman is a natural born teacher.
and it is through and by her at
home and in the school that our
children are taught the beautiful
life laid down by Jesus of Naza-
reth. The overwhelming major
ity of females as teachers and
pupils in our schools justifies the
placing a competent man or
woman at their head, one whose
college training has not sapped
the life from the tree of knOwl-
edge. Unless a radical change is
made in the head of the cOlored
schools they will die of dry rot.

MAJOR SYLVESTER RIGHT.

The recommendation that Ma
jOr Sylvester made to the Com
missioners to prevent the pictures
OF the JOhnsOn-Jeffries fight from
being exhibited in this city was
right and proper. Existing condi-
tiOns demonstrate the philosophy
of the Majors recommendation.
1t is evident that the exhibition of
these pictures excites the animal
passion of ruffians, as is fully seen
by the many assaults that are be-
ing made upon innocent and re-
spectacle cOlOred citizens. Just
last Monday evening Lawyer
TaylOrNa well-knOwn member of
the local bar, was brutally as
saulted by white ruffians because
he refused to discuss the Johnson
Jeffries fight with one of the num-
Der. Across the Aqueduct bridge
another respectable colored citizen
was assaulted. Some one would
say that the police department is
not doing its duty. Major Syl-
vester has begged Congress to
give him a larger police force.
If several Congressman were as
saulted, perhaps they would be
convinced that our chief of police
knows what he is talking about.
There should be a national law
passed by Congress to prohibit
prize fighting in the United
States.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL
SITE.

There has been a great deal said
concerning the Normal School
site. The preachers have come to
the conclusion that the students
at Howard University will con-
taminate the morals of the female
pupils. Prof. Kelly Miller comes
back with a retort to the effect
that the ministers who are study
ing at Howard University are
nearer to the normal school than
the other students. The argument
advanced by the ministers is that
the students Will ruin the girls.
There Is but one conclusion at
which the reading public can
reach, and that is: Either the
girls who will attend this normal
school are weak, or that the stu
dents are immoral. The Bee is
satisfied that the students at How
ard University would do less
harm to the females who will at
tend the normal school than MANY
of those ministers who are CRYING
out against the morals of the stu
dents at Howard University.
Many of these preachers who see
so much immortality among the
students at Howard University
fail to see the beam in their own
eyes. The cOlored preachers are
the greatest advocates against i'm
morality and the first to violate
the moral laws. If the only OBJ
lection the preachers make is on
account of the alleged or imagi-
nary immoral conduct of the stu
dents at Howard University, then
the normal school should be stu
ated where these mOraists object.
The Bee assumed heretofore that
1t was on account of the great dis
tance from the cars, but from
what the different obiectOrs have
said it Is not true. While, per-
haps, many Of the students at
the University may be immoral,
The Bee ventures the assertion
that they are as moral as many of
those ministers who are attacking
them.
The Bee knows that the secre-
tary of Howard University, Prof.
Geo. w. Cook, in connection with
the President, DR.. Theirkield,
sees that strict discipline is exer-
cised over the female and male
students who attend Howard Uni
versity, and if any of the morals
of students are questioned these
gentlemen see to it that they are
not permitted to remain in the in
stitutiOn.
