Judge Terrell has been speaking
French for a week. Jim Cobb, hav-
ing originated in the swamps of Lou

to speak a patois that was near

And this same sly, slick, Shiny
snake, when it next met, face to
face, those upon whom it had
spewed its venom, wore the sickly,
deceitful smile of a Judas, and
spoke with the servility it is ca
pable of. 1t was one of these
aforesaid, and described akin to
the offensive, hideOus reptile fam
lily, who criticised the presence
upon the platform at a recent
Sunday meeting of the Y. NJ. G.
A. of men whom the records of
the Y. NJ. G. A. show have con-
tributed literally to the new \. NJ.
10. A. building; men who have
given frequently of their time,
talents and money to push for
ward the good and grand I. NJ.
C.. A. work. But 1.-THE snake
reckoned without its host. The
International Secretary is too
high and lofty, too broad and sim
cere, too deeply interested IN his
work for God and man, to lend
ear or cOuntenance to backbiting
or the vapOrings of reptiles.
The Y. M. G. A. officials and
members will tell you that they
have no apologies to offer for hav-
ing invited to the platform Sun
day men who have done, and are
doing now something for the race,
the Y. NJ. G. A, and for human
ity. Upon that platform there
was not a single cOlOred man but
who has contributed literally to
the Y. NJ. G. a. movemet, both of
time, talents and purse. But the
Shiny, deceitful migrate who moves
with a suggestion of a Uriah
Heap and a snake; whose lying
tongue and envious backbiting be-
speak the foulness of its motives
and the ingratitude of its make
up, and who happened not to be
to the platform, has con-
tributed not one farthing to the
Y. NJ. c. A, as the records will
show. But Why spaciate upon
known deceit and the reptile fam
lily? BY that hw, mean criticism
the snake impaled itself upon its
own poinard. And its vaporings
may be likened to the light that
failed.

MERITORIOUS ACTION.

While Judge ROBERT II. IeIEoII
was in Tuskegee last week to de
liver the commencement address
at Tuskegee Institute, the trustees
of Howard University met and
elected him, by an overwhelming
vote, a member of the Law School
faculty. In conferring this honor
the trustee board hOnOred the uni
versity's alumnus, and showed ap-
probation of the Judges splendid
record on the bench. The loyalty
of such men as DR.. Francis, DR..
Mooreland, and DR.. Purvis, who
are members of the trustee board
who, with the stanch support OF
the white trustees, made his selec-
ton possible, cannot be praised toe
Our first duty IS to aid
our own. These men performed
their duty, and well.
Another meritOriOuS act of the
board was the advancing, upon
the recommendation of DR.. Thir-
kieId, Prof. just to the position OF
Associate Professor. Prof. just s
work has earned for him this ad-
vancement. He's a splendid type
of the mOdestly aggressive, pro
gressive young man. And still an
other action on the part of the
trustee board that calls for Oul
commendation, and the com
mendation of the Howard alum
nus, was the election of Hon. j. G
Napier, Register of the Treasury
to be a member of the trustee
board. The Bee notes with pride
and with favor this work of How,
ards trustees.

The Sunday Afternoon Forum of
Paterson, n J., which meets regular
ly in the c. NJ. A. Hall, has had two
of the most successful of its meet
ings, on the two Sundays past. On
Sunday, May FL, we had as our speak
er, ex-Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback, for
merly of Louisiana, now of Brook
lyn, n. Y. Mr.. Pinchback discussed
the advantages of the race and its
people, and pointed out TO them that
in order TO obtain that which is due
us, united effort, on our part is essen
tial. The hall was packed to the
doors, and there were people who
were unable to obtain even admission
for standing room, and it is the de-
sire of the people that the Governor
will soon address us again.
Mr.. H. H. Harrison, of New York
City, addressed our Forum on Sun
day, May 28, and he chose as his
topic, "The Function of Complaint" "
He mastered his subject to perfection
and he kept the peopel spellbound.
Both speakers were preceded by a
literary program, which was care
fully arranged by Miss Jennie Mau-
pin and Mrs. Joseph Green, respec-
lively.

J. DOUGLAS WETMORE.

That was a manly letter of j..
Douglas Wetmore, published last
week, in which he explained the
necessitous delay in bringing DR..
Washington's assailant to trial,
and in which he incidentally but
forcibly censured carping critics
of the Doctor. There are a class
of lazy, shiftless, wOrk-divOrced
negroes who imagine they are do
ing something when they criticize
DR.. Washington or suggest i'm
proper conduct on his part. The
men who do this are men whose
own lives are either a tissue of lies
or shredded immortality. The
man without visible support, and
the man who has failed to accom-
plish something in life is not
worth ones while to listen to. Mr..
Wetmore has deftly but none the
less effectively thrust the dagger
of silence under the fifth rib of
such men. But J. Douglas Wet
more can always be relied upon to
be open, frank and manly, even
when he is with you, and fair and
square when against you. And we
respect him for it.

sessing all the characteristics OF
the sneaking, roguish cat, like an
assassin in the night, attacks It's
superiors. We say cts" because
In this case it is eminently proper
to use the neuter gender. 1t was
one of these species of nOnentities
who held up the international
Secretary of the Y. NJ. c. A. on
the street recently, and, with the
demeanOr of a sly, slick, Shiny
snake, poured into his ears mis-
chievOus, but ineffective, venom.

DURHAM. \. &.

We desire to call the attention
of our readers to the editors trip
to Durham, n. c., last week,
which has been put III as simple
and as plain a manner as possible,
so that the American people can
tell for themselves what the col
Ored people in Durham, n. c., are
doing. Perhaps there are just
two things that we have failed to
call the attention of our readers
In our correspondence, and these
two items are the condition of the
white people in East Durham
and the condition of the cOlOred
people in East Durham. They
are on par. While M the central
section of the city both races are
doing business in a manner that
is cOmmendable. That is, they
are both doing business alike.
COlOred men in business are being
supported. No man or woman is
Jealous of the other. The black
man and woman of Durham are
not Jealous of each other. They
are unlike the Northern cOlOred
man. They believe In helping
one another. The white people
IL Durham, that is, the well-tO-
do-classes, do all in their power
to help the cOlOred people.
We want to call the attention
of the country to Gen. J. S. Carr,
the banker, and the Dukes, the
Daily Herald, Sun, and other en-
terprises have done much to ad-
vance the colOred people. The
daily press of Durham is ex-
tremely fair toward the cOlOred
people. We desire to take this Oc-
casion to commend Mr.. W. L.
Bost, of the Associated Press, for
the liberal space he gave the sew
eral exercises Of the Durham
school.
We want to commend the sys-
tematic manner in which the
North Carolina Mutual and
PrOvident and the Carolina Mu-
tual Life Insurance Companies
are conducted.
We extend to the Durham peO-
pie, white and colored, our con-
gratulations, and we are glad to
personally commend the Dukes
for the liberal share of work they
are giving cOlOred boys and girls,
men and women, in their fac
tories. This firm shows what It's
appreciation is for the cOlOred
race South, and from what we
saw and heard, all that is neces-
sary for the cOlOred man and
woman to do is to be loyal to
their employers, true to them
selves, and have a just regard for
the laws of health, and we feel
confident that colored men and
women South will rise above the
common level.
What the cOlOred man South
needs to do is to continue to do
as they are doing. Durham is
able to teach all other cities in
the South a lesson. at is a city
upon a hill" remarked Mr.. Jus
tice Stafford. There is race pride
In Durham, and to her fellow
citizens The Bee extends its con-
gratulations and its editor ex-
tends thanks for the hospitality
shown him.

THE OPERA BOUFfE MAR.
Mexican Insu reCt0S Continue to Poser The
Government. Counting on Fall Of Juarsz.

Ell Paso, Tex, Feb, 5. Colonel
Rabago and his command of 800
Federals entered the city of Juarez
at 9:25 tonight unmolested by
the insurrecto forces and were
received with joyful acclaim by
the people Of the city.
The star Of the insurrecto leader
Pasqual Orozoo, who was to &C.
cupy the city of Juarez by sun
rise this morning, appears to be
on the wane. HIS policy of de-
Law has enabled reinforcements to
reach Juarez and tie probability
of taking that city new is consid-
cred much more remote than it
was yesterday.
Other reinforcements in the
shape of General Navarro's col
umn are en- route from chihuahua
and will reach Juarez tonight or
tomorrow. It is expected here
that the Federals will be able to
hold the city and that knowing
this the insurrectos will retire.
There is a rumor tonight that the
insurrectos are near Juaraz but
this cannot be certified.
The net result of q battle at
Baucho today between Orozco and
Rabago was two killed and five
W unded among the i~nsurrectos.
The Federal loss cannot be learn
ed, as they carried their wounded
with them, but it was reported
that TO had been killed.
