NEGRO DEMOCRATS.

When Mr.. Cleveland was elect
ed President of the United States,
Negro Democrats could be seen by
the dozens. Many Of the ap-
Piled for places held by colored
Republicans, and were appointed
to them. Mr.. John H. Butcher, al
the Government Printing Office,
had several applicants for his place.
The most prominent was the so
called Negro correspondent. Mr..
Butcher held his own even under a
Democratic Public Printer, Thomas
II. Benedict. Not a better man
than Mr.. Benedict would be found
Although a Democrat, he gave the
Negroes a square deal. This same
Negro correspondent is now en-
deavoring to dictate to the country
what colored Republicans shall do
in the coming campaign. The Bee

COLORED NURSES.

The citizens of Washington
numbering ninety thousand or
more see no reason why there are
no colored nurses appointed to look
after colored children. There are
three white nurses whose duty ii
is to investigate the poor and needy
white people who have babies.
There is no colored founding
home or hospitals for colored ba-
bies. ColOred babies are not per-
mitted to be taken into the chill
dren'S hospital under two years of
age. The Bee would suggest to
the Commissioners to recommend,
in their message to Congress, the
establishment of a children'S hos
pital and also a provision for three
or four colored nurses. The death
rate in this city among colored
people is appalling, 1t is because
the colored babies are not properly
cared for. The parents of these
babies are too poor to enable them
to give their babies proper nourish-
ment. The Bee believes that the
Commissioners will carefully look
into this appeal and take some steps
to remedy this evil. A ward in the
Freedmen's Hospital could be set
aside for colored babies until other
provision can be made. The col
ored churches should take up this
all-important matter and push it to
a head. Mrs. A. NJ. Curtis is very
active in such a movement, and it
Isl the duty of every parent to as

MISS BURROUGHS.

On the first page of The Bee will
be seen and read with interest the
history of the National Training
School for Women and girls. II
is the greatest institution in the
country for young women. Miss
Mamie H. Burroughs, the presi-
dent, deserves the plaudirs of the
people for the establishment of this
great school for her sex. This
young woman is a native of this
city, and by hard work and per
severance she has won her way to
the topmost round of the ladder.
She should be encouraged and the
institution should be supported by
all true lovers of humanity. The
Bee congratulates her for her ex-
cellent work.

white friends for help. Her sugges-
ton IN this connection has been car
ried out, and now, after two wears of
unparalleled growth, she IS compell-
ed to put up buildings and to make
extensive Improvements, and in this
effort she IS going to have the help
not only of the cOlOred people of this
country who will support those who
make good, but of white friends. who
have always helped those who help
themselves.
In response to her appeal for the
Model Home, the Woman's American
Baptist Home Mission Society has
decided to erect as a memorial to
their late secretary, Miss Mary c.
Burdette, a home that will be used
as an object-lesson in teaching our
girls how to plan, build, furnish and
take care of a home of their own.
The money for this building is in
hand, and a committee has been ap-
pointed to cooperate with Miss Bur
roughs in the construction, and in
few months it will adorn the campus
of the institution.
The corner stone Of the building
that Is now in the course of erection
will be laid on Sunday, November
10Th. You have been invited to be
present. The laying Of this corner
stone will be significant in that it is
the first time at the Capital of the
Nation, when the women throughout
the country, have unitedly made pos
sible, the erection of a building, to
be used for educational purposes.
This new building is 20 be called
Pioneer Hail." in memory of Lott
Carey, a Virginia slave, who bought
his freedom and went to Liberia as
a missionary to his own people; in
memory of John Jasper, whose work
following the emancipation and up to
few years ago, was most marvellous,
and successful; and then in memory
of William ]. Simmons, one of the
organizers of the National Baptist
Convention, and the leading spirit in
the organization for a number of
years. The building will cost seven
thousand dollars, and The Bee hopes
that the District of Columbia will be
most liberal in its contributions to
help pay the debt.
The corner stone has been present
ed by the Missionary Society of the
Second Baptist Church, of which the
Rev. w. Bishop Johnson is pastor.
The people of this city must stand
by Miss Burroughs for the works
sake, and then because she is our
very own.

LLOYD TO WALTERS.

Mr.. Lloyd, the chairman of the
Democratic party and the head and
front of the Democratic party, in
a letter to Bishop Alexander Wal
tiers, who sends a copy to The Bee
for publication, the Negroes leading
journal, says that it is not true that
the Democratic House of Represen-
tatives discharged every colored
man and appointed white men in
their places. The letter is very in

people of this country. Now will
Mr., Lloyd, as we'll as the distin-

CHIEF GRIFFIN.

The Bee regrets that Chief w. R
Griffin, of the Reformers, has
fallen into the error in denounc-
ing the man who has been his
friend and has done 50 much tC
make the True RefOrmers in this
country a success. The Bee is a
friend to the organization and
Chief Griffin, and no one knows ii
better than he. 1t was Mr.. w. H.
Lewis who asked The Bee to de-
fend Chief Griffin against the at
tacks of his enemies. Mr.. Lewis
did not ask for the appointment OF
a receiver, and it is in bad taste for
any one to make this charge against
him. The Bee takes this OppOrtu-
nifty to inform Chief Griffin to
check his horse and don't go so near
the ball of dynamite, because if he
touches the fuse some one will be
injured. Chief Griffin, take worn
ing before it is too late. Some
one is loaded at this end.
"No horse was ever so sure foot
ed but what he stumbled" A hint
to the wise is sufficient. Every
body is for Mr.. Lewis at this end

SOCIALISM.

All those who are marching un-
der the banner of socialism, or who
are leaning towards socialism are
deluding themselves with the be-
lief that socialism is a new doc
trine, and the latest out of the shop
of political isms. The fact is that
socialism, including the initiative,
referendum and primary, are old
and retrogressive issues. Twenty
four hundred years ago Pericles
formulated and induced Athens to
adopt socialism as its form of gov
ernment. That city, under this
form Of government, assumed re-
sponsibility for the welfare of all
its citizens. The city owned lands,
forests, mines, factories, ships,
commerce, etc. 1t gave its people
work, and, if it had not work to
give, it gave everyone a living.
The people voted on every law, act
and proposition. We will cite an
instance of the referendum, or re-
call, which the West is now advo-
eating, to show how old it is. A
noble citizen by the name of Aris-
tides was so honorable and so Just
in his relations that he became
known as Aristides the Just. His
enemies in sufficient numbers peti-
toned for his Punishment and a
vote was ordered. Another instance
was that of Pausanius, who had lost
an arm in defense of Athens. He,
too, was marked for banishment, OF
recall as it is now put, and a vote
was ordered.
Athens still exists as the capital
of Greece, but this wonderful
scheme passed out of existence D.
300 years ago. Now it is hailed as
a new creation. Let us illustrate
this primary, in view of the con-
tention in some quarters for a ma
tional primary law. 1t is so sim
pie, so economical and impressive.
1t goes right down to the people,
gives every man chance and cuts
out all possibility of fraud or bri-
berry. In one western city it cost
only So, 900 to nominate a candidate
for mayor, and out in Wisconsin 1t
cost $Io7, 100 to nominate a Uni
ted States Senator. Now, if we
had a national primary law, and
Mr.. Rockefeller or Mr.. Morgan
wanted to be a candidate for Presi-
dent. would not their chances be
good, considering how simple and
economical it is and how many in
corruptible voters there are? And
the champions Of socialism, of the
initiative. referendum and a nation
al primary law think their scheme
is a new one, when it is 2,4Oo years
hoary. Well has it been said,
there's nothing new under the
sun"

INSPIRING CAREERS.

There has been much discussion
of late about the purity of the pull
pit, and the laXity in morals OF
some diVineS has had a tendency
to make sinners justify their re-
pudiatiOn Of the church. Rev.
Francis Grimke is one minister
whose whole life has been as pure
as the White-driven snow. Never
has a suspicion rested upon him,
and never has he leaned to the
right or to the left of the straight
path of ministerial uprighmesS and
Christian living. We, that is some
of us, may differ with DR.. Grimke
in his insistance upon the closest
observance of the Ten Command
ments, and the tenets of his church,
but none can say that he is, or has
been hypocritical. He follows the
path he believes is marked out for
him, he adheres strictly to his BIZ
bic and to the doctrines of his
church. His life is one as God
gives him light to see it. Rev. DIR.
Grimke's life, as gentle as a child,
as pure as the new born babe, and
as open as a book, is one that cannot
help but command our respect, our
admiration, and inspire us onward.
Were all ministers as Strict in their
observance of their creeds and of
the Bible as DIR. Grimke, and were
the garments af all ministers as
free from defile as are the garments
Of the pastor of the Fifteenth Street
Presbyterian Church, there would
be no occasion to ever pen a line
derogatory of the men of the
cloth. In the life of DR.. Grimke
the young colored men of this city
will find all that is necessary to
lead them in and up the path of
righteousness, and all that is nee
essary to inspire them to right liv-
ing and right preparation for life
here below and life beyond.

MUSICAL UNDER THE AUS
PICES OF THE BETHEL
LITERARY.

WashingtOn's annual musical
season is now in full swing, and the
music loving public is being enter
tanned with many fine recitals by
the various musical organizations
and individual artists, Of whom
Washington may boast great
many. OF those entertainments al
ready announced for the next few
weeks, the musicale to be given un-
der the auspices of Bethel Literary
on the 9Th of December promises
to be one of the most brilliant
events of the whole season, as a
large number of the most talented
performers and soloists of the city
will participate, each one repre-
Senting a different organization or
institution. This recital has been
arranged BY Mrs. Carrie w Cliff
ford, whose wide acquaintance in
musical circles enabled her last
year to conduct a similar entertain
ment for the benefit of the Y. NJ. c.
A. with phenomenal success.
