AROSE TTY A SE ETT FOR THE EYE OF THE POL. ITICIAN. This is the maiden year for a number of politicians. Many who have never yoted will step to the front in November. The various influences operating upon their minds will be these: First, friend- ly solicitation, Second, paternal influences. Third, newspaper circulations. Fourth, the rarest influence and intelligence. All these may combine in producing a clear headed voter. The pri+ mary step is cool deliberations upon the history, platforms and candidates of the various parties. After canceling all other parties serve the two principle ones, for these two contain all national elements, one is then in a position to weigh carefully these two par- ties. Both have made mistakes. Both contain something of virtue. Both have good and bad leaders dictating impatriotic measures. In order then to get atthe politi~ cal worth of a party and its in- trinsic value to the country, his~ tory with its manifold events must be examined. The animus of the various periods together with their surroundings and cir- cumstances, The republican par- ty was born twenty-tive years ago. Here is what it has done: 1. It has abolisaed slavery. 2. It denounced the Dred Scott decision. 3. It sustained freedom. 4. It sayed thecountry by pre- serving its umty. 5. It made the greenback and made it the equivalent for gold and silver. 6. It oppressed ignorance and is in favor of national education. 7. It fought against baliot-box stuffing and fraudulent elections. 8. It tought against the compe- tition of foreign pauper labor with free American labor. 9. It believes in civil rights, 10. It established the formost currency in the world. 11. It made thousands of laws. The Democratic party is fifty yesrs old. 1. The party has dealt in hu- human chattels. 2 It retused to yield to the de- mands of the constitution. 3. It bas laid at its door the Kansas and Nebraska feuds. 4. It made the fugitive slave laws. . 5. It opposed emancipation. 6, It opposed national currency. 7. It invented tissue ballot, kukluxism and predominancy over right. 8, It allied to English politics by clinging to dogmatic free- trade 9. It opposed the thirteenth, fourteenth ard fiifteenth amend- ments, UNNATURAL SONS. Of the few persons attending Indianapolis there was no sadder picture than to seeso many young men present. Young men, scarcely at majority who have had the advantage of schools and col. leges, who for the main part are the fruits of republican plainting, rallied to hold up the arms of traitorous republicans. If there is a class of persons who should be inflexible republicans, if there is a class who-should hate demo- cracy in every form, it is the in- telligent young colored man. There are some young men who are not intelligent, nor dv they lay any claim to that status, being unacquainted with the history of modera times and being reared in an infavorable atmosphere little is expected of them. But the bright young man who can speak fluent- ly of events past and present, who feels at home in literature, science and art deserves the condemna- tion of all right thinking people, when he votes with democracy Voting for democracy, means wholesale approval of lynching, kukluxism “and ballot box stuffing. it is a matricidal step. It means hatred to the home that gave him succor and happiness. It meavs down right villiany, Any colored young man of average intelligence who votes with the democrats is arascal, His principle is wrong He is apt to be a gumbler. One $$ — OO runs a risk in trusting him or taking him into his confidence. There is no doubt about it there is a screw loose some where. Given a young man of color who is a democrat and you have a jail bird, acrimnal ora culprit. He may escape imprisonment by trickery but he bas a crimual heart. Let it not be said that the young men, just arriving at maturity, will be so traitorous and uvnatural as to sell their birthright. Let them not prositute their fathers memory their mothers legacy, for gold or office. SS BLACK REPUBLICANISM Vs. BLACK DEMOCRACY. Irishmen are democrats, ne- groes arerepublicans. Both just- ly so as they are. But to find an Irishman a republican is not such an atrocious thing as to find a negro a democrat. It is no new thing to find men allied to a par- ty which basfought for their in- terests. Irishmen’s interests both ecclesiastical aud political has been in a measure championed by the democrats. Whatever there was of right in it, the times decided. But Irishmen have never had such battles to fight as negroes. Their causes were fearfully disproportionate. The irishmen in this country has always beena man. The ne~- grohas not. Democracy never made men outof irishmen. Be- sides irish leaders have simply reasoned negatively. Because a republican president failed to per- mit certain irishmen into this coun- try and the democrats bave large- ly encouraged their religion, being catholics tnemselves, the conclus ion has been reached that repub- licanism is opposed to irishmen’s rights t 18 a very egregious mistake. On the other hand republicanism means bumauity. It has been the sole autbor of every principle leading to equality. It has not achieved its mission be- cause it has not been ubie to throt- tle the vile schemes of Southern politicians. All legal means have been used. Force has beeu re~ sorted to, but without effect. The ends cau be obtained now only by moral forces. The end ot the rope has been reached in political power. Strange, it must be said that irisbmen have never been malign- ed nor vilified because they are sealed to democracy. No word of abuse has come from his fellow countrymen. .But the negro has escaped no calumny because he has dared to vote for his ally. Irishmen can go on voting for a million years for democracy and no word will be said. But the time bas come now that some ne- groes see fit to prove traitorous to their principles and treacherous to their party. If there is a valuable suggestion that would take a few negroes on the other side it seems plain that no special few could be taken, hence all should naturally go_be- cause all black men’s interest in this country is one and the same thing. Who would seek safety in a robber’s den unless himself be arobber. Black men ought to be able to avoid the ‘spider and fly theory.” Democrats will invite you in persuasive tones but they will devour you. a a A POLITICAL TRAMBS. The tramp isa modern institu- tion. Modern in name and in cheeky shrewdness. Le however is nothing more than a develop- ment from the lazy shiftless man who has always had a place in every community. The fellow that hangs on the street corner and around barrooms, that sleeps wherever night catches him is no new individual. But even the modern tramp is more worthy of consideration than the political’ tiamp. He feeds on other men’s pockets. He never is at work, does nothing but invents means whereby to extort aud defraud. He is a human louse, a blood sucker a parasite. The political tramp as a general thing is an ex— office holder. He would bold of- fice if he could. He has accus- tomed himself to the weird excite- ment of the first and fifteenth of each month when he hears the in- spiring rustle of paper dollars and the jingle ofgold. He longs for the happy return of those days. Still hoping till his appetite pinches, and his shoes run down at the heel, and his friends desert him he is driven almost to des- peration. If there is a sad sight -| ceived and fostered by the hope to be seen in Washington, if there is one that can move the stern heart to pity it isan exclerkor a political tramp on the street. ‘There are some men who honest ly await office. There are others who would honestly do any hon- est labor. There 18 a class how- ever that is bent on trickery. WHY TROTTER IS MAD. HIS PET RESOLUTIONS FAILED TO PASS. HE IS WAITING TO SEE HON. J. MILTON TURNER. James M. Trotter, the smallest man, Mr, Cleveland could nomi- nate for the « fice of recorder of deeds, wants nothing to do with those who were interested in the Indianapolis, Ind, conference Mr. Trotter had a set of preambles aud resolutions which ! contained all Trotter. Ie was very arxious that the resolutions should pass, then he would have gone to Mr. Cleveland and asked him what he thought of his resolutiovs. Mil- ton ‘Turner the instigator of the movement and Joseph Houser, bis faithful lieutenant and a very good fellow assured Trotter that his resolutions should pass. Trotter instructed them how to organize the conference, how to put mo- tions, &c, and last how to pass his pet resolutions that he had been working on for a number of weeks. The boys left jubilent and laugh- ing in their sleeves at Trotter ignored. His resolutions didn’t pass nor was the wishes of Trot- ter, at all cousidered or treated with any respect. ‘Trotter is really angry; he has insulted every one of his servants who have called tu see him and the great man he is anxious to meet and ineult is J. Milton Turner, who will knock him in the middle of next week ifhe attemps to insult the honorable J. Milton. He is boiling over to meet him and when he comes, lookout for the tug of war. Poor Trotter and his pet resolutions, WHAT A CHANGE FOUR YEARS MAKE, If a green school boy can enter college at seventeen and come out a full fledged eollegian at twenty - one, it is no wonder that four years in the white house work wonderful changes. A man is not to be condemned because he makes mistakes and profits by them. Noris it a disgrace to change ones opinion. President Cleveland in 1884 said: Of the means to this end (the full tealizatioa of a government by the people) not one would, in my judgement, be more effective than an amendment to the con- stitution disqnalifying the Presi- dent from re-election. In 1888. Icould not but be profoundly impressed when I see about me the managers of the National Demecracy b<aring its summons to duty. The political party to which I belong both honors and commands me. In 1884. When we c n-ider the patron- age cf this great office, the allure- menu's of power, the temptations to retain public place once gained, and, more than all, the availabil- ity a party finds in an incumbant whom a hord of office holders with a greed born of benetit re- of favors yet to come, stand ready to aid with money and trained political service, we recognize in the eligibility of the President for re-electien a most serious dan-~ gertothat calm, deliberate and intelligent political action which must characterize a government by the people. 1888 with “ghoulish glee.” The message which you bring awakens within me the liveliest cense of personal gratitude and satisfaction. | The occasion re- miuds me most vividly of the scene when, four years ago, I re- ceived a message from my party similar to that which you now de- liver. Ishall not dwell upon the acts and policy ot the Adminis- tration now drawing to a close. It but remaius for me to say to you, and through you tu the Democracy of the Nation, that I accept the nomination with which they have honored me, Ifthis change indicates progres- siveness, 80 much, so good. But if the allurements of office beguil- ed, woe to that seduction. ¢ Pickett, Loutstana, Nov. i1, 1887. Messrs, A. T. SHALLENBERG ER & Co. “Rochester, Pa.

OHN PICKETT. THREE PROPOSITIONS. The first is, THAT PROTECTION CREATES HOME MARKETS. If a thing is needed and becomes essen- tial to good living it must be pro- cured. If the thing is made abroad and is severely taxed, the next best thing to do is to make it here and sell it here. The making of it calls into activity capital and labor. These are twin born and inseper- able. To produce the maximum benefit the proportion of gain should be rightfully distributed. If this gain is not thus divided it is no fault of protection. It isa mor- al issue. To make a thing implies the manufacture of it, the dealing with it in its simplest form; the com- bining of it and uniting it with other elements to give a market- able and a readiness for its ultimate use. Capital means money to run a business, and labor means the energy put forth in the construc- tion, management and conduct of a business. When the term labor is used it reaches every honest man’s door, ‘By the sweat of thy brow thon shalt live,” for it is by physical effort that the black man lives, is an injunction as true as ancient. Now then, where there is anabundant home-market, where there is capital and labor, the like- lyhood is that «ll concerued will get abundant labor and fruitful compensation. Experience attests A.J.

Sunday last was tne busiest day this year inthis city. Friday night the crowd began to come down. Saturday they swarmed in, and Sunday it seemed as if Phila- delphia must have been depopulat- ed. There were more bathers this week than there have been this season. People who come late in the day are obliged to take misfit bathing suits. The services at the Asbary church laat Sunday, wereconducted by Rev. Hollon, who is visiting Rev. Moore. Next Sun- day avery popular speaker from Philadelphia will speak. Ou Sunday last the Zion A. M. E. church was filled to its utmost capacity. The Literary society at Zion A. M.E. Chapel this week cou!d not be surpassed. A grand church camp meeting will be held at Zion A. M. E. charch on Sun- day, August 19, and is expected to be a grand success. The weath- er here wasintensely hot dat the services at the St. James A. M. E. church were replete with interest, this fact. __,. |The Sunday School held its miss- The second is, that protection in- | jonary and literary exercises, and stigates enterprise. Enterprise | several essays were read. Miss C. does not mean anything more than @ man seizes every chance to make adollar. That policy which de- velops so many resources for mak- ing money is a good policy. All men want to mage money. A man who honestly heaps up a million by opening up a great thoroughfare and doubles the capacity of society for convenience and enjoyment, is a public benefactor. We want en- terprise. If we see profit in many things let us get it out, no matter if the government does get half of it, She has protected us in our un- dertakings and given us a guaranty against loss, let the government then have her share. The third proposition is, that PROTECTION CHEAPENS THE COST OF PRODUCTION. When eveiy- thing we need is right at our door and it only needs the magic wand of skill to give it form and being, why it can be prodaced , much cheaper than if it were mined in Prussia, or clipped in Australia, or planted in Egypt. Transporta- tion or the carting of one thing from place to place is the sole source of wealtn to mariners. That wealth can be saved us if we have protection. In America when it comes to workers it means that the colored man’s interest are at stake. He must labor or die. He has not education enough to steal. Nor need of going to Canada. The pick and shovel, the spade and hoe, the plough and scythe, are the instru- ments which bring his food, cloth- ing and raiment. Let him under- stand protection and he will be a thorough Republican. Haddon’s was the grandest of them all. A bold robbery was perpe- trated here in the Post Office on Thursday evening. An entrance was made through the boiler room and the safe bored open. The booty was a number of stamps amounting to $1,000, $50 in money and several registered letters. Mr. T. H. Buckner, of Wash- ington, is one of our noted orators here forthe Summer. Miss Eva A. Chase is still at the Haver- low and is looking very much re- freshed. Miss Ada Prather was married to Mr. Zachariah Bell, both of Washington. The wedding was @ brilliant affair.

A grand surprise party was given at the Haverlow Hotel on Wednesday evening, August 8, in honor ot Mrs, Sally B. Bell, of Philadelphia. Mrs. Bell is 53 years of age and was very much taken back when she was called from the piazza to receive her birthday party. Miss Eva A. Chase and Miss Lillie Herbert suggested the affair. After the party bad assembled Miss Eva A. Chase made an address, after which she presented a handsome silver tea set. Miss Chase is the lite of the Haverlow House. LEE, SUMMER RESORTS DOWN THE RIVER. —_—_—SX— THEY SAY He is an obedient husband. When asked to purchase a certain article, he responded, ‘‘I must con- sult my wife first.” Exit. The war isto be waged to the bitter end. Things are still undecided in West end. But he continues his visits every night. “‘O, what a fall- ing off is there.” The “doss crap-shooter” was at Nayman Grove last Sunday, but Bro. Peck did not succeed in striking bome conviction to his heart. Blaine’s reception was the most noted event of its kind in American history. “Little Jimmy” is the son of his father. The Bee will be tri-weekly as soon as subscribers send in their arrears. This week Prof. Cardoza will be Browned and next week Prof. Brown will be Cardozoied. The gentlemen are at short range and are using sharp weapons. The Summer resort at At- Tantic City is the leading petlh There have been a number of resorts finely fitted up on both banks of the river. Most of them have been at some time rentable to colored people. This privilege, if privilege it may be called, has been greatly abused. Do much so that the landed proprietors have for the most part put a quiet- us upon colored excursions, <A mau who owns a public resort has aright to see to it thgt its reputation is not injured nor its general popularity abused, Li- cense do not amount to much. Hence a just discrimination is what a reasonable man should make. Order then, is the cest. The persons who behave badly should be debarred of these places of enjoyment, It is no difficult matter to teil who will be orderly and who will be disorderly. There are certain sections of the city and certain assemblies who never failto bring with them a fighting crowd, [f these crowds do not fight it is exceptional. They are born fighters, There are other quic', and orderly people who k to bebuve themselves. “ should sot be made to s complete form, >: ‘the Dest sat! Ni Bote end.
