THE persistency of the Bee in the such a position and push our claims as strenously when we know that we are right, we will succeed. It takes hard knocks and steady blows to bring justice from per- verse opinions, but the Afro Amer- ican will pouud it out yet. Rev. SaM JONES says, ‘‘when the peo- ple get close to God, the questions be settled.” We have waited near- ly three centuries for this to take place and it seems no nearer cou- summation now than in the begin- ing—Detroit Plain Dealer. —_- Pare gold always has its base imitation.

It is now too late to make any retraction; the uprising of the col- ored voters has been manifested as we predicted. There is no ex- planation that can be made by the Senator from Kansas, who said, we have been informed, that the editor of the Bee was AN ASS in his attempt to dictate to the Senate. We desire to inform the all wise Senator that some body no doubt, only wishes that he had tak- enthe advice of the ass. There is a great deal of speculation going on as to who the successful candidates to the NEXT REPUBLICAN CONVENTION will be. It is said that there will be no end to candidates. The boys have already began to lay their wires. Mr. Daniel Cahill is being strongly urged by the young element in the city which is very strong. The fact of the matter is, there will be no room for old poli- ticians, we are tired of them. The young men must be given a show. ue ud edtaradtdce Mice tas Hat of election is several months off, | Mr. Gleason will no doubt make up his mind before the time arrives. The EMANCIPATION Celebration this year will be the largest and most imposing ever’ held in this city. This being the 25th anniversary, @ quarter of a century since the colored race was emancipated, it is likely that more interest will be manifested. MRS. LOGAN the wife of the late Genl. Jobn A. Logan, has sent the following let- ter to the colored citizens of the District of Columbia through W. | Calvin Chase : “The family of Genl. John A. Logan desire you to accept this grateful acknowledgement of your expression of sympathy and condo- lence. The names of Mrs. John A. Logan, Mrs. Mary Logan Tucker, Mr. John A. Logan Jr., and Wm. F. Tacker, U.S. A. accompanied the letter on cards. The colored people will ever hold Mrs. Logan in grateful rememberance as one of the purest and most noble women in America. The trial of JOHN L. WEST was the entertaining feature in the Criminal Court this week. It is not believed that West broke into the house of Mrs. Page and we shall not beheve it until it is proven, which cannot be done. Several months ago the name of West was honored and respected, to day there are none to do him made in a day nora year; but it can be taken in a second.

What significance has the mingling of the“blue” and “grey” at the grave and around the fes~ tive board, if it does not mean “let the dead bury the dead,” or is it only intended for white men. The ovation tendered Governor Lee of Virginia by the loyal west is an evidence that white people ew forgive those who aided in causing many seats by the home fireside to be vacant and who brought sorrow and tears to thou- sands of homes; is the Negro to be anexception to this fraternal amnesty, is he alo_e to revive and keep alive the animosities of the past; isit criminal in him to aid in burying the past by resching for a more promising future; is it expected of him to spurn the hand and reject overtures looking toa more peaceful and harmonious relationship between him and his traditional political enemy. If so then those who expect it are blind as to the sagacity of the Negro, for the Negro is too worldly and politically wise to be left alone in the deal which is being carried on by white men, he intends to do precisely as the white mans change his company and politic, whenever he thinks his interest is best served by so doing; and gives notice of his intention not to be bulldozed by Hon.

[From the Editor.] Washington, D. C., Feb. 1887. Senators: While we address you as a body we desire to be understood as di- recting our remarks especially to the republican members of your honorable body as they being in the majority are responsible tor legislation. You permitted Sea- ator [ngail’s to carry into success- ful execution his threat of defeat- ing theingrate negro,” Matthews but in so doing you drove the po- litical stiletto into the hearts ot thousands of Negroes. The gau- zy pretext of Home Rule is un- worthy the high character of your honorable body, and with your own record of divers direct viola tions of the spirit and iuterest of the democratic platform relative to territories, not the District of Columbia, staring you im the face is the cheapest aud chcekiest piece of demagoguism practiced apon an intelligent people.
