A MAN.

We need such men in this
country today as ex-GOv. P. B. S.
Pinchback. He is no coward,
which was fully demonstrated in
New York at the time DR.. Wash
ingtOn was assaulted. At the
Bethel Literary last Tuesday, the
friends of DR.. Washington were
numerous, but they were too cow
ardly to rise and defend him
against the assault of Mr.. Man
nings, a white man of Georgia.
and apparently a personal friend
of Recorder Henry Lincoln John
son. The friends of DIR. Wash
ington were afraid to open their
mouths. Mr.. Mannings' reference
to the New York incident was
mmanly, to say the least, and
had the editor of The Bee beer
present he would have resented
such an insult.
Mr.. Washington's explanation
of the New York incident was
sufficient, and it Is a piece of i'm
pudence for a white man in a sup
posed cultured society to use the

HOW TO DISCRIMINATE

Banquets will do, and they are
ali right when they are gotten up
properly and by the proper per
sons. A public man should be
careful and not allow himself to
fall into the hands of keepers of
sporting houses. Some colored
men have an idea that they repre-
sent something when they attach
to their names a misnOmer.
There are, in this city, a few
decent and respectable public
inns, and when a public man
comes to the city he should be
careful and know where he is
going, or before he comes write
for information.
Grafters should not be at the
head of any enterprise, and II
this, particularly, public men
should be extremely careful with
whom they associate. A man who
is not a fit subject to visit OuI
homes is not a fit subject for u:
to associate with. The great mis-
take of colored men is, they are
not careful enough. They dom
know how to discriminate social
| ly. Colored society doesn't know
how to discriminate socially.

RACE PREJUDICE.

This was in substance the sub
iect of the address of Editor
James Monroe Trotter, at the
Bethel Literary last Tuesday
night. Many things said by the
speaker The Bee agreed with. es-
necially his reference to separate
Y. NJ. G. AS. The Bee was the
first to denOunce separate Chris
tian Associations. These separate
religious bodies have never been
approved or indorsed by this pa
per. That is not the kind of re-
hgiOn The Bee believes in. Col
0red men who favor segregation
admit their own inferiority.
Editor Trotter had a very appre-
ciative audience to greet him. His
speech lacked blood and thunder,
which are the characteristic re-
marks of the speaker.

Col. Lewis Jefferson, who has al

Now is the time, and the old saying
is, delays are dangerous. Col. Lewis
Jefferson is we'll prepared to meet all

BISHOP WALTERS DE
MOCRACY.

The good Bishop Walters de
hvered an address before Bethel
Literary Society here last week in
which he advocated a division of
the Negro vote between the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans. Most of
the Bishops logic was of the
spurious kind, the kind usually
pronounced logic by he who de
livers 1t, but recognized by the
public as simply sOphistry. His
argument, stripped bare, was sim
ply that IN order to secure an
equitable share of the spoils of
office it is proper and necessary to
divide our vote between the Dem
ocrats and Republicans. Now
or class, primarily to secure offices
any division of votes of any race
would not be countenanced by the
people. A division of vote Oh
economical grounds, in order tC
secure Just laws and a just az
rangement of prices upon articles
of necessity, is cOuntenanced, but
the race or class that divides It's
vote merely to secure offices is
usually a race or class that Sc
cures, at best, but a temporary
benefit, and that benefit is enjoyed
only bv a few.

is controlled by the southern wing

DOUBTS HIS OWN ABILITY.

a >
Some writers are of the Opin-
ion that a colored man could not
properly manage Howard Uni
versity. Such men doubt their
own ability, may be true, but
there are cOlored men in this
country who are just as cOmpe-
tent to be President of Howard
University as DR.. Thirkield, and
are fully able to get as much
money from Congress. The Bee
is confident that DR.. Thirkield
has not the respect and confidence
of the colored people, and his in
fuence at Howard University IS
being daily lessened.
The resignation of the present
incumbent would be universally
appreciated. Some people seem
to think that his connection with
cOlOred institution has depre-
ciated his social standing among
the colored people. If he enter
tains a similar opinion, The Bee
is of the opinion that his resig-
nation is the best thing for the
institution. No white man knows
| the colOred race as well as one of
its own members. He may have
done some good, but his recent ac-
ton has been the basis of lost
confidence among the more hber-
al-minded colored people in this
country. Nothing will satisfy the
colored masses but his resigna-
ton.

know it, because nothing can be

the colored man. There is one
thing certain: there may be some
Republicans against US, but The

who has had to tread the wine

tribute to his race. Mr.. Cobb

The val ue of the gold produced in the au- riferous lode mines was s, 35I,335. in 1908 and S4,II7,44o ln 1909, an increase of S76o, ,Io5. The three mines of the Treadwell group pro- duced I, 1,385,S9 tons of siliceous ore, yielding in gold and silver s2. $ a ton. Eight dredges were op- erateI in Alaska in 1909, with an estimated production of S425,ooo.
 Record Breaker for the Yukon
 The Alaska Yukon placer dis trict had in 1909, the most profit able season since mining first be. gan there, a quarter of century ago. According to the Geological Surveys returns the value of the gold output was ST, $50, 900, as compared withS1o, B ,ooo in 1908.
 The production in Seward Pen- insula fell of, owing to the fact that many of the richest placers have been mined out and that no preparations have been make for mining the extensive deposits of lowgrade gravels. With the con- strustion of large plants an in- crease may be looked for. The great possibility of the Alaskan gold bearing gravel can be recognized when comparison is made of the recovery from the placer workings of the Territory and those of the [ nited States. In 1909 the aver age recovery for Alaska was $500 a cubic yard, while for the United States the recovery was only I2 cents.
