Of all the evils, Lord, save us trom the Pharisee. | x | Negro journalism, 1am sorry to | state, finds its greatest enemy in | the actual and thesupposed wealthy | men of our race. This may | sound harsh and yet it is only too true. Ask any of the many color~ | ed editors what per centage of this class contribute to the support of their papers and they will tell you | that it is very small. Their names | as.subscribers are tew. They pre- |fer the white papers and invest dollars per week in them while re- fusing two dollars per year for a race paper, no matter how good. They deny the right of our papers to criticise their acts, let them be ever so reprehensible. White pay pers that do it, however, are still purchased and read by them. They may be guilty of lying, stealing, debauchery or anything else,and if « colored journal has the hardihood to denounce them, they will not only stop their subscription, but will do their best to injure the pa- per. If they should coudescend to advertise in one of our papers the editor will have todo the work a monih for what they pay the white papers for a single insertion. The colored editors are as a rule a hard working, ill-used, much abused, | selt sacrificing, poorly paid, honest, | brainy set of men, who furnish the | ouly opportunities for our young | men and women to cultivate their literary talents, and yet you will hear your rich and alleged intelli- geut colored citizens tell of what | the race should do to improve their condition, when in his pocket he |carries a note from some poor striving editor that reads, ‘Friends please settle up your indebtedness tous.” Whata shame; what a | disgrace. How are our papers to thrive, enlarge and grow more use- | ful when cursed with such a class? Yet your rich brother is not dis- turbed, although he is ready with his mouth. Avaunt, thou hypocrite. | Get thee hence ! Kine Marieavx. APPEAL FOR UNION. MAHONE AND SUCCESS, STAND. UNITED}WE Harrisonburg, Va., Sept., 13, 1889. Editor of the Ber: I beg space in your valuable pa- per to urge the “Mahone Virginia | Republican Associaiion” and the |*Virginia Republican League,” to consolidate, as I understand that | both organizations are for the tick- /et nominated by the recent Nor- folk convention. I urge this be- cause it is self-evident that if all the Republicans from Virginia tem- porarily residing in Washington unite for the ene grand object, more good can be accomplished | than if they remain separated. It is especially desirable that the colored Virginians should consoli- date. If the leaders of those or- | ganizations wish to exert an influ- ence in the State, they must lay aside all prejudice and join hands for success. They must regard their organizations as_ political |rather than social, and remember that nothing succeeds like success. We want an association of Vir- ginia Republicans in Washington wielding a commanding influence in all that pertains to our welfare; and to assure such influence, it must be a representative associa- tion, including in its membership | Republicans from every county in | the State, and correspondents from every city and large town. * The Virginia Republicans there have before them a grand oppor- tunity and if wise counsels prevail they will profit by the example of other State associations by unit- ing and waging @ relentless war against the common enemy. if an association there is to do any good and exert an inflaence in Vir- ginia affairs I repeat, the Negroes must present a solid front, and so manage that said organization will include in its membership influen- ‘tial men from every section of the State. Unite, then, brethren, and | battle for the triumphant election bof Mabone, Slemp and Lurty, so as to rid our beloved State of the incubus of Bourbonism. Such is the desire of a member of the first named association. N. — oer oe 3 G. M. Scorr, of Okolona, Miss., | wrote to Dr. Shallenberger : : | “Your Antidote for Malaria is | certainly the best thing for ebills and fever that has ever been sold in the South. I have been selling it for twelve years, and know it to be the best medicine I have ever dealtin.

Grimkie. _ Rings and cliques must be abol- ished in our schools. A moral, religious and educated gentleman has been appointed on the school board, Let Rev. Grimkie make a decent High School. His appointment is satisfactory to th people, Who will be the Recorder of Deeds? Echo answers, Who? Does President Harrison know? Dr. Johnson is on top. The offensive trustees have been removed and turned out of church. The last of the old ring had to retire. Reeall Dr. Johnson and build a new church. He has been victorious over his enemies. Right will prevail. Rev. Grimkie’s appointment was no surprise. Dr. Francis had nothing to do with the appointment of Dr. Grim- kie. Cardozo must go. Surprises handed. The Excarsion of the Junior Ex- celsiors was a grand affair. Brooks, the ancient candidate for school trastee, got left, as we predicted. never come single The Army and Navy were not strong enough to place him where he was not wanted, The peple are master of the situ- ation. The people supported Dr. Shadd and Dr. Shadd supported Dr.Grim- kie. Ho! for W. C0. C. B. K. Bruce is alright. His appointment is a fixture. His enemies to the contrary not- withstanding. Offices make leaders, Leaders don’t always make ofli- ces. McCabe, of Kansas, should be cared for. Dr. Johnson is on top again. Rev. Scott should now be ap- pointed to succeed the late Rev. Walker. He is a good speaker and would make an excellent minister. Read the Daily ‘Press,” it is the Negroes’ friend. Editor E. W. Fox should be en- couraged. Read the Ber, it is the people’s organ. J.
