Way} REPUBLICANS HAVE IGNORED NE- GRO EDITORS. THEIR POLICY IN| 788. HOW DOUGLASS DEMANDED | RECOGNITION, THE LOTUS CLUB. | HOW DISBANDED. THE WEST INDIAN ABROAD. Evidences every day convince us that the colored press in this country 1s fast becoming a power. Colored editors are being convine- ed that their salvation is not alone in the Republican party ayd a very little less in the democratic party. Heretofore the republican cam- ! paign committees have entirely ig- nored Negro newspapers. The fault has been, that all Negro edi- tors have been considered to be re- publicans and for that reason these committees presumed tkat color- ed editors could live off of wind} and promises. The more intelli- gent Negro editors have taken a different view of things and have concluded to demand payment for services if their services amount to | anything at all. The NEXT CANVASS will find many a colored editor sup- porting men and not party. Mr. Fortanes’ mistake was, after declar- ‘| idea how Senators and representa. the head of them.. Noone has any tivesare cheated. Where a democrat- ic Congressman is convinced that a paper edited by a Negro isan inde pendent or democratic, he will readily subscribe. They have been and are more liberal toward color- ed newspapers than many republi- cans. F x THE DENVER SUN edited by Isiaah Mitchel, is doing good work in the West. Mr. Mitch- el is from this city and is known to be -* . energetic and an industrious man. His opponent, an indepen- dent paper, recently started in the same city doesn’t seem todo him any harm. Mr. Mitchel has the confidence of the people and there isno doubt of his success. The SOUTHERN LEADER is fast gaining its way in the hearts ofthe people. We yet hope to see the South send forth the leading Negro jouruals in the country. The PEOPLES’ ADVOCATE of this city, edited by J. W. Crom- well, has not made much headway. The Advocate has been in existance eleven years. The editor has en- deavored to serve the public by catering to acertain faction. The editor is charged with being very narrow and conceited in his views. Mr. Cromwell has had many op- MUSEMENTS. WO GRAND BY AMUSEMENTS.

Heis a good writer but others are not willing to conceede that. One mistake the editor made when he transferred the Advocate to others to prevent his discharge from office. Notwith- standing this transfer he was dis- charged and is still editing his pa- per. We willadmit that Mr. Crom- well- has done more for the race, than what he is credited with. ing himself an independent, in sup- porting the republican party in ‘84. He, no doubt, found that he was los- ing quite a number of his subscrib- ers which forced him to ally himself with the -sinking ship.” He was educating the Negroes to be inde- pendent in politics, but, when his readers saw that their leader bad changed basis, nothing was left for them to do buat to follow suit.

The action of the re- publican party towards colored ed- itors have compelled several of them to change their POLICY. The change will ultimately tend to elevate the Negro press in the eyes of the American people. We predict that there will be one third of the colored editors in this coun- try supporting the democratic par- ty in’88. Mr. Douglass with his North Star knew that the salvation of the Negro was the success of the republican party. He knew that the National Era could demand recognition for the race after the success of that party. The strength of Douglass’ papers was his influ- ence and standing in the country. The National repuvdlican committe with a small degree of pretense of love for the Negro offered but little assistance tothe Era The com taittee did not care so much for the paper, but it was Mr. Douglass’ in- tiuence with the Negro, that was wanted. The EMANCIPATION of the Negro elevated him to such a degree that he forgot him- self. Social organizations ofa dis- criminating character were organ- ized, rings of all kiuds were estab- lished. One class of Negroes thought themselves better than an- other class. The colored press was then inits infancy. The colored editors did not know how to han- dle this class of wild social rene- gades. The Freedman’s saving bank was established, which em- ployed a lot of Negro clerks. The majority of these clerks were grad- uates of the Philadelphia high school. A cast organization sprang up from the bank ring known as the ‘*Lotus Club” or educated Ne- groes. Respectable people were prohibited from joining the organi- zation, nothwithstanding what their social standing was. The broker on eight street was Captain General or Lord dictator. This fastidious gentlemen always set in judgement on applicants for social recognition. If he thought that the applicant would becomé more popular than bimself, he would be rejected. The Colored Citizen, a paper edited by Prof. J. P. Samp- son, was the cause of the disband- meut of this social fraud. During the existance of the Lo- tus club, visitors on their arrival | in the city would catch the distem per. This has been a great city | for social cliq' es and corraption- | | ists. Newspapers have been estab- | lished by these sharks merely « for | speculation and social influence. | | Itis very hard to convincea | | CONGRESSMAN that Negro newspapers are respon- sible or have responsible men at He has had more aid than any oth- er jourual that has been published in this city and has made less head- way. THE NATIONAL MONITOR is a jouraal of great merrit, and the editor Mr. Cris Perry knows how to deal with questions of the day. The PROGRESSIVE AMERICAN edited by Mr. Freeman has been in existance sometime. Mr. Freeman, would make a first class editor if he were not so jealous of bis city colored contemporaries. Freeman is very narrow in his views at times. There is no class of men that has the opposition and disap pointments as the colored editors. There is too much jealousy among the race to succeed. That grim monster must die out before the race will amount to anything. The leaders themselves are becoming disgusted with the masses. Social discrimination is doing the race more hatm than the opposition of the democratic party. RACE DISCRIMINATION is what is doing the colored people harm. ‘There are a few Negroes in this community, after the ostracism of Matthews, who are now attempt- ing to establish cast in the com- munity. It is not only in the social circle butin our public schools. Bastardy is trying to reign supreme over legitimacy. Not that we are prejudiced to the former, but when we are confronted with the decla- ration, that bastardy would rather be the mistress of a white man than a colored man’s lawful wife, it is time for society to stop and consid- er. This isthe class thatis now endeavoring to rule in the socity of Washington. A class of dema- gogues. THE WEST INDIAN ABROaD published in New York was thought by everyone to have been a success. It was republican in politics and did good serviee for that party. on ee WHAT THE NEGRO OWNS IN TEXAS.
