(hose who rejoice at the defeat of Mahone, should hear the colored people tell how they were driven e polls, before they accept sult as an honest condemna- sion of the General. Virginia stands today one of the most disgraced States in the Union. ae t is true that Mahone sent for aad pledged him his sup- tisa wise step. To oppose nd defeat Langston is to lose a Re- publican vote, which will be great- ded if they intend to pass an on law, which they must do fess we have no rights the h is bound to respect. as There is a general complaint on the part of those who have had oc- asion to make application to Pub Palmer, that unless ‘ an is pleased with the ap- nthe or she cannot get a his be true and there are sons for believing it, I s wrong and unjust. while posessing ions for the place he snot infallible; he can be sd and his objections not sound. If Mr. Palmer de- to reward the faithful he ake the reins in his own dnotmakea dictator of an in his office, It is a pression around the of- lease Capt. Brian and you lright.” There are not many will agree that such astate of fairs reflects credit on Mr. Pal- Sout * ig Ex-Senator William Pitt Kellogg ive and with the boys. it utterances reminds us of old days when Republi- ere not such trimmers. He some wholsome truths in his alk, and whether it is liked is @ fact that without gro the party might just as hang its harp on the willow. No one knows better that Mr. Kel- what we have suffered for the iblican party and when he sees how we are being treated, he naturally feels angry, and being & man of great courage he lets these weak-kneed fellows understand, it. Had he and men like him been giv- en Cabinet positions we should not now be the laughing stock of Dem- ocrats in office. Through the poli- cy ofa trimmer the Democrats came into power and it looks as if we are drifting in the same direc- tion once more. «*s President Harrison, itis said, drop- ped book out ofhis hands on hearing of the fracas between Mes- srs. Goodloe and Swope. I don’t be- lieve it. He is not such a nervous nas that. Delegation after del- on have called on him to tell him of hundreds of loyal black men and women who were shot down like dogs and he didn’t even wince. He listened with a placid counte- nauce to the heartrending and hor- rifing stories of ministers and others aud camly entered into a discussion ofthe law to show that he was owerless to aid or protect us as izens, A man possesing such ristian fortitude is not likely to let such a little thing asa fight be tween two men, although white, throw him into a state of nervous- bess. And it isquite doubtfal if the result of the recent elections make any great change in his 1. He is confident that he can do what Hayes tried and failed in. The fate of the former will not de- im from continuing the organ- ization of white men’s parties. It ‘8 achristian duty to convert dis- ‘oya! men who fought against and ed to destroy their country ; th®y ust be treated just as if they real- 'y believe in the principles of the Republican Party. What if, in re- Caiming these rebels the killing of true and tried Negro voters is con- Coned? Ten thousand rebel votes accomplish a8 much, as on Negro votes if counted, they are white votes and be- Cause of that fact are acceptable. The Negroes must content them- “eves with what is given them and Tem don’t like it, then get out. “very thinking man of the race has 4 duty to perform. He must not Suly fight the white man, but the -\“eto trimmers and apologists for 7 white man’s treatment of us. —<t every honest Negro who loves aud desires the success of his race sein’ the Afro-American League. 10 union there is strength. KING MARLEAUX. THEY SAY Dont rejoice at the defeat of the Republican party. He laughs best who laughs last. Ex-Register B. K. Bruce knows his business. His enemies to the contrary not- withstanding. The Freedman’s Hospital is in a better condition to day than it ev- er has been. Holland’s appointmen; is given satisfaction all over the country. Our contemporary rejoices at the defeat of Mahone. Mahone was the strongest man in his party, but§ probably the weakest among the people. It is true that there should be a limit to saloons, bat white proper~ ty holders should not make apy discrimination between white and colored saloon keepers. If one should be closed, let all be closed. Ex-Senator Kellogg didn’t have any unpleasant words with Public Printer Palmer. King Marlieux, in this week’s issue is mistaken if he intends to infer that Capt. Brian has all to say in appointments at the Government Printing Office. No one can find fault with Pub- lic Printer Palmer as far as colored applicants are concerned. Senator Sherman was loyal to Foraker, but was Foraker loyal to Sherman at Chicago last summer? Washington City is worse than New York so faras murders are concerned. The “BEE” office is the place to get first class Job work done. The Baptist Churches are doing good work. The Negro League 18 now & cer- tain quantity. Let every State in the Union or- ganize local leagues. Let there be no politics in the or- ganization of a National Jeague. The colored press is unanimous on the league question. Minister Fred. Douglass and family are enjoying good health at Harti. The Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis ‘‘ World” has gone @ little too far in the Meri- deth-Singleton controversy. What the “Bee” said was true Mr. Stewart to the contrary notwith- standing. There is much uneasiness about the fees of the Recorder of Deeds Office. Unhappy is the man who expects official favors. Major ©. A. Fleetwood is the most popular commanding officer in this country. By industry he has made the Ca- dets the strongest colored militia in the United States and equal to any white. Why can’t there be reunion of the colored militia of this District? Rev. W. H. Philips is an honor to any church There should be a rule in the Board of School Trustees, to the effect if any teacher is seen in @ suspicious place or in the company of suspicious characters, is a suf- ficient cause for removal. District men will be appointed to District offices. In the appointment of Messrs. Hine and Douglass as District Commissioners, the President could not have selected two better men. The kickers may kick but it will not stop their confiirmation. There is no doubt butthat they have the interests of the people at heart. The ‘Bee’ supports the admin- istration because it is believed that the President is honest and will do the honest act. Right is bound to prevail. Subscribe for the “Bee” it is the newsiest paper in the city. __ Promises with some people are like pie crust. Easily made and easily broken. A dishonest person will surely regret. what he fails to de. Miss E. N. @. will be married shortly. s He is in a hurry but Ella is not. Nothing like it when you have an idea. E. M. Hewlett should be appoint- ed Assistant Attorney for the Dis~ trict of Columbia. It would be a handsome recogni- tion of a colored member of the District bar. Honest meu will have their dues. Jack Clemens will have a taste of the Virginia law. Magnus L. Robinson was issuing Democratic tickets in Virginia last Tuesday week.. This is the some time Republican. He is an uncertain quantity. Uncertain men will do uncertain things. Nothing is certain with the Rob- insons until itis made certain. —— ao LYNUH UNPOPULAR AT HOME. His HOME ORGAN NOT PLEASED. Natcxez, Miss. Repubilean, Oct .26. The editor of a colored paper published at St. Paul, Minn., speaks as follows of President Har- rison in connection to the appoint- ment of John R. Lynch to the 4th.: Auditorship : S “‘Then again, he has appointed Lynch of Mississippi 4th. Auditor of the Treasury, @ mere clerkship, the tender of which John R, Lynch should have looked upon as an in- sult, and the acceptance of which by him has not enhanced the esteem of his fellow citizens throughout the country. The Republican poli- ticians assume that we owe them our vote outof gratitude for our liberation from the thraldom of slavery and our after enfranchise- ment.” It is our opinion, that Mr. Lynch, in the appointment to the 4th. Au- ditorship, received more than he was entitled to, and we were sur- prised at the President’s action in the premises. Itis a well known fact that Mr. L. was one of the two delegates from this Congressional district te the Chicago Convention, and the only two there from Missis- sippi, that voted for Judge Gresh- am’s nomination. First, last and all the time, up to and including the ballot nominating Gen. Harrison. And what, after Harrison’s nom- ination, did Mr. L. do? He came back to Mississppi, ‘‘sulked in his tent,” and did not utter one word in behalf of the ticket. Indeed, had his wishes and desires, as well- known to the Republicans of this district, prevailed, there would have been in this district no ticket to be voted with the names thereon of Harrison and Morton. If, how- ever Gen. Harrison ‘‘ acted on the color line” in the appointment of Lynch, he did about as well, per-! haps, as he could have done. rr WES’ WASHINGTON NOTES.
