False Doctrine.

The late DR.. Theodore Wolf, pro
fessor of chemistry at Delaware col
lege, set officeholders a rare example
of unselfshness by having his fees as
state chemist greatly reduced on the
ground that they were exorbitant.
''Dr. Wolf" said a Newark man.
was a delightful lecturer. I often
dropped into the college to hear him.
I'll never forget one OF his lectures on
Quack medicines.
He told us about an early patient
of his, a man who dosed himself with
about a half-peck Of pills and two OF
three gallons of quack medicine every
week.
There was nothing the matter with
the fool, but all this silly medicine
swilling, and Dr.. Wolf told him SO, but
1t did no good.
Then DR.. Wolf appealed to the
mans wife to stop him, but she de
,claTed that it couldn't be done. She
had quoted at him, again and again
she said. the verse in the liturgy thai
pointed out his sin. and
But where interrupted DR.
Wolf, bewildered. where does the lit
urgy say anything against taking

that these distinguished South

what The Bee has asserted time

white men in this country who
believe in equality of citizenship
and the Constitution of the United
States. We have had good Dem
ocrats upon the Supreme Court
bench of the District of Columbia ;
namely, Judge Montgomery, JUS
tice Morris, Justice Bingham, and
the present Justice of the Court

Democrats the colored Americans
would have no fear and they
could continue to build monu-

doubt it is the finest theater in the
city. There is no theater to equal

Vote the Democratic Ticket2

ColOred Americans should divide
their vote and majority of them
should vote for the Democratic party
for the following good reasonsG.
I. Because the Democratic party
believes that the cOlored American is
an inferior citizen.
?. Because in the State of Texas a
few days ago about 20 colored men
were burned and a number in Flor
ida.
3. Because the Democratic party
inaugurates Jim Crow" car system
whenever 1t is supreme.
4. Because every Democratic State
in the United States has inaugurated
a Jim Crow" system.
5. Because the Democratic party
don't want colored man to hold an
Office.
9. The Democratic party has at all
times done everything in its power to
humiliate colOred Americans.
!. The colored voter should vote
against the Republican party because
it believes IN equal rights and uni
versal liberty for races, irrespective of
color or conditions.
8. The cOlored man should vote
against the Republican party, because
it was instrumental in liberating
100000 slaves
9. The colored man should vote
against the Republican party, because
1t was the first party to appoint an
emancipated colored American to
Office.
10. The colored American should
eternally damn the Republican party,
because it has done all in its power
to defeat Democratic legislation to
disfranchise colored Americans, and
to keep them in subjection.
There is no party in the world that
has done so little for the colored
Americans as the Republican party,
and for that reason the colOred voter
should adopt the advice of Rev. Cor
ruthers, TrOtter, Rev, Waldron, Bish-
op Walters and others, who applaud
the Outrages in this country.
Why should not these distinguished
cOlOred men oppose the Republican
party? Their names shall be perpet-
uated and a monument shall be erect
ed to their memory for the great ad-
vice they have given colored Ameri-
cans.

Ruins Of Church Of Lanaln in Mexico.

the church with colony OF Spaniards
and Indians. They went through 3
period Of great privation on account
Of crop failures and the losses Of
their live stock by an epidemic of dis
ease. A store Of food supplies was
sent to their relief from the City OF
Mexico, and the priest received per-
mission direct from the king Of Spain
to establish a crude mint for coming
copper money for the relief Of the
financial condition Of the colony.
These coins were cut in triangular
shape and were issued to the Indians
and members of the colony with the
promise that they would be redeemed,
coin for coin, by the government when
the settlement became prosperous.
These copper pieces were perhaps
the first clearinghouse certificates
ever issued.
The Indians, however, brought the
financial relief scheme to a sudden
end by counterfeiting great numbers
Of the copper pieces, which they pre-
sented for redemption. The priest
became alarmed at the unlawful in
flation Of his circulating medium and
fed from the country to avoid possi.
BILE punishment at the hands Of the
government.
In after years the parish Of this an
cient church established a copper
smelter and engaged in mining and
smelling copper ore on a large scale.
The Stag pile Of this ancient smelter
was found not far from the church a
few years ago and the smelter at
Saltillo bought and treated the Stag
at good profit.
An American contractor who built
a railroad near the church made the
owner of the property an offer Of
81 1000 for the cornerstone in the
building. It is said to contain ancient
relies Of almost priceless value. The
offer was refused. At present the in
terror of this church is used as q
corral for goats.

THE WHITE MOB.
Innocent Negroes Murdered.

innocent Negroes Murdered.
Editor of The Bee.
Doubtless quite a number of the
readers of your valuable paper have
read with much pain and sorrow of the
wholesale slaughter of the Colored cit
liens by the cowardly white mobs at
Palestine, Tex, a few days ago. 1t is
said that that cOwardly band of muir
deTers went to the homes, and even in
the fields, where the colored people
were at work, and shot them down
like sheep. This wholesale game of
slaughter was done, too, while the in
offensive cOlOred men prayed and
begged for their lives.
Sheriff Black said: 1--WE won't find
some of the bodies of the murdered
colOred men until the location IS re-
vealed by the buzzards."
All, my friends, what are we to
think, when we remember that God is
just! These people had committed no
crime whatever. But the white mob,
that always knows there IS no punish
ment in store for it for killing negroes,
was thirsting for blood, and, like
ravenous wolves, proceeded to attack
and slaughter an innocent and inoffen-
sive people whom they knew to be dis
armed. What set of cowardly murder
ersl murderers, too, that never will
be knOwn-thOugh out of 300 of them
many are lnown-until the Judgment
Day
Just for the sake of argument, or
to give to the many readers of The
Bee something to think about, sup
pose there had been 800 negroes band
ed themselves together and killed 20
innocent white men. Comment is un-
necessary. But listen! This slaugh-
tering of the ColOred citizens at Pal
estine, Tex, is but the fruits of the
JOhnson-J Jeffries fight. The rich, the
intelligent, and the law-abiding white
citizens care nothing about the defeat
of Jeffries 1t is the poor, ignorant,
one-gallus, drunken hOOdlums that are
raising so much hell about that which
does not concern them.
This mob rule IS no longer confined
in the Southland; it is spreading, and
seems to find friendly shelter wher-
ever the Stars and Stripes are unfurl-
ed. This whole country should stand

they are told to do.

OUR HOPE.

The colored political agitator is
doing himself harm. 1t is well
sometimes to agitate and espouse
a cause when it is just and right.
The question The Bee wishes to
as is: Is there anything in the
Democratic party for the colored
American! Has the Democratic
party done anything at all to aid
the cOlOred American? Let us for
a moment glance at the traditions
Of the Democratic party. What
have they been? What is its his
tory, so far as the colored Ameri-
cans are concerned? Take the
history of the party in every State
and tell us what it is.
Compare the Democratic party
with the Republican party and de
eide from which the colored
Americans have received the more
benefits. Which party is due the
credit for the emancipation of the
American slaves and their educa-
ton? Which party gave colored
Americans the right Of franchise.
and which party took it away
from them? Which party op-
posed discriminating laws, and
which party enacted them? Which
party established Jim Crowism"
in the States, and which party
opposed it? Which party in
augurated Ku Kluxism, and
which party prosecuted the per-
petrators? Which party is daily
burning cOlored Americans at the
stake, and which party is con-
demning it?
These are but a few of the out
RACES that are being perpetrated
by the Democratic party. Why.
then, should cOlOred political agi-
tators attempt to influence their
fellOw-citizens to condemn the
Chief Executive of the party that
he represents because of some
error that may have been made
by a few representatives of the
Republican party?
COlOred agitatOTs must be in
sane and maliciously revengeful.
or mercenary agents of crafty po-
litical agitators. The freedom and
political privileges that have here
tOfore been enjoyed by colored
Americans, given to them by the
Republican party and daily being
legislated out Of existence by the
Democratic party. The agitators
claim that the Republican party
has deserted the colOred voter. In
what particular, we would ask?
They seem to disregard the
wrongs that are being daily in
ficted upon colOred Americans.
It is, and has been, the aim and
motive of the Democratic party
to humiiate cOlOred Americans.
regardless of their standing and
conditions. Our wives and daugh-
ters have been made to ride in
"Jim Crow" cars the size of a
box, thus placing the stamp of
inferiOrity upon them. The COM
monest and the most filthy white
person is permitted to enter where
respectable and educated colored
Americans cannot enter. The Bee
is pleased to state that all white
people are not alike. There are
some human white Americans in
this country who believe in
equality of citizenship. The ed
ucated and the refined white
American knows how to discrim-
mate. The day is fast approach
ing, however, when the rights of
colored Americans will be recog-
nized and respected.

that do the marvellous work of foot
juggling as the general public knows
it. 1t is doubtful II the world has ever
produced more daring pair of gym

makes it the more startling is the fact
that they are nearly of a size, while
