One of the most instructive, able and exhaustive diecussions of | political race organizations that has appeared in a long while is to found in the Jetter of Ex-Senator Bruce to the Washington Post of Sunday last. Bruce has the nappy faculty of saying the right thing in the right way and at the right time, ana for this reason bis} pubiic utterances never fail to at- tract attention and to properly direct the trend of public thought. _ There was a growing fearaud sus- picion on the part of many as to the purpose of the colored pe ple in the organization of leagues tor | the protection of their rights; and the enemies of the race were quick to charge that the purpose was political; that, abandoning all | political principles, the race would hereatter be offered for) sale to the highest bidder. Mr. Bruce corrects this errone- ous impression and shows in the | most conclusive way that our peo- ple throagh the contemplated or- gavizations propose to protect their persoval and civil rights and | do not intend to engage in politics asa race but to act in these mat- ters like other American citizens. As he truly expresses it; “they propose to vindicate American rights by American methods” We say, let the orgauization of the leagues go on but eee to it that demogogues are not permitt~ edto divert it from its original purpose or touse itfor selfish ends. Weowe itto ourselves to #0 conduct this organization as to keep it out of the mire of parti- zan politicians and to so direct its course as to commend it to good mea everywhere, Should we com- mit ,the unpardonable blunder oi organizing on race lines for polit- cal purposes we would not oaly lose the friends we vow have out fail t- - any from our eae~ ar aur. -MUSIC FORNISHED- FOR BALLS, PARTIES, CEPTIONS, Ecr. 600 6th Street, Southwest. race of people, We admit that we have some bad men among us, but there are exceptions and mavy of them, at that. Coroner Patterson, who ordered an au~ topsy to be performed is entitled to our everlasting gratitude. The cowardly attempt also to) throw the responsibility of that officer’s death, not Jong since, on Mr. Robert Brown, a respectable colored citizen, shows plainly what these officers would do if they were given an opportunity. | Tue friends of the deceased police man Crippen, would have had Mr Brown to rush up stairs after the murderer and have him killed -|and the officer saved, whose duty it was to arrest the murderer. The officer would not have been killed had he taken the advice cf those who were present at the time he rushed up stairs. All that the citizens ask is fair treatment and justice, AHARD WURKED MAN. Hov. H. P. Cheatham arrived in tue city Monday and was be- |seighed by a bundred or more of his constituents. He is the hardest worked man from the South. Every man from the South, whether he hails from Mr, Cheat- hams district or not, generally looks to him for aid and comfort. | He is certainly the best represen- tative North Carolina has ever sent to Congress white or black, | ile never say vo toa needy aud worthy southern republicun and what be says can be relied ou. He ison the go from the very moment he arrives in the city. Unlike many ot our white mem- bers from the South, he kuows no man by his color. DRIVERS IN THE DEPART- MENTS. A great deal was said last week by one of our local contemporay’s ou cojored men iu the departments used by the officials to drive their carriages.

WES! WASHINGTON NOTES. The Sunday school union held their last quarterly meeting, Sun- day afiernvon at the First Baptist church. The report of the several schools showed great improve~ ment over the last quarter; the exercises were very interesting, and addresses were delivered by the Rev. Wm. Creditt of Bulti- more and lL. Harper, Mr. C. Lawson read a very instructive essay entitled “Our Woman.” The following were installed officers for the ensuing year: Mr. J. H. Furguson, Pres., Mr. Daul. Thom- psorn, V. Prea., Mr. Benj. Ford, Secretary. ‘The musical and literary asso~ ciation h:sadjourned their meet- ing until December 6th inst., at which time an excellent program has been arranged. The revival which has been in progress for the last month at Mt. Zion M. E. church, still continues with unceased interest. Over 100 converts have been announced and over 60 are bowed at the al- tar.

Josephine Hook, Eliza Williams, and Alfred Webb, these names were submitted to the council. The condemratory resolution was offered by the Rev. W. H. Brooks, D. D., pastor of the 19th St. Bapt charch. THEY SAY The Bruce stock has gone up 300 per cent. What means the sudden change of front. The BEE has always said Bruce was right. Look out for some colored ap- Pointments soon. If President Harrison declines a renomination, John Sherman will be the man. Sherman and Morton would be a strong ticket. Or Sherman and Depew. There is a fight against colored saloon keepers on the Avenue. Out of fourteen four of them are colored. The white people have refused to sign for the colored men. They all keep respectable houses. At any rate the Commissioners will reduce the fourteen to four.’ Prohibition is growing in the city. Whiskey business pays better than any other business in town.

Always be careful what you write, because you may have occa- sion te recall it some time. Never write a letter to a friend that a third party caunot read. If you follow this rule, you will have no occasion to fear what may fall into the hands of your enemies. It is a bad policy to write se- erets even to those in whom you have confidence. Lovers will often expose eacn other in anger. You mother is your best triend. That will depend very often on what kind of a mother you have. An honest man is safe to confide in as the Maker of the universe. Do all you can for those to whom you are obligated. Always speak the truth to your friends and be frank with your en- emies. Watch your friends and trust not your enemies. Think wisely always before you speak. Never tell all you know, because you may hear it again. If you are compelled to talk say that which has no weight or signi- ficance. A talkative man or woman often does harm to him or herself. Parents are responsible to their children. They are borne without their knowledge or consent. Itis the weak parent who says continually, you owe me for rearing you. Itisa parents duty to rear his children. The child owes obedience to the parent only. Men often fall out with the other when he cannot be used. Be wise, honest, just and obedi ent to thy fellow man. — ° MARVELOUS PRICES.
