Published every Saturday at 1109 I tree north west, Washington, D. Cc. ntered at the Post Office at Washington C., as Second Class mail matter. W. CALVIN CHASE, Editor, THE OUTLOK. Many things are daily transpir- ing at the South where the great muss of the colored people reside to suggest the inquiry. “What is the outlook fer the colored Amer. ican?” Itis conceeded that his material progress has been en- couraging, that he has notonly he'd his place asan agriculturist, but has a monopoly as fa producer of the three great staples of tae South—cotton, rice and eugar. In these fields he is preetically without acompetitor. But it is as a laborer rather than asa proprietor that his victories in this direction have been most mark- edly achieved. His intellectual developement has been much more pronounced. He is to be found sustaining himself credita- bly m many of the professions, but he is emberrassed by the pre- judice that spring trom his former condition and is thus denied the success attained by others no more highly equipped than himself, But it is in the exercise of his perogatives as a citizen that he is contronted with the greatest dif- ficulties. There isa determina- tion on part of the whites of toe South that the colored man shall not exercise the right of suffrage where vore can have the slightest influence in determin- ing the elections. Heretofore the ! in poloicy bas been relied upon to disfrancbise him; now however it is proposed to accom- plish this result by changing the organic iaw of the s‘ates. Mis- sissippi leads the van; Alabama, Lonisian and other states will soon follow her example. The most alarming festure of the situ- ation is to be found in the stolid indifference with which the North a epee ase agus OL CltIZensDIp and in their despiration are attempt- ing to delude their readera by making the impression that the colored man is unfit to exercise the right of suffrage, and bis bim- self willing to be deprived of it. The foolish vaporings ot the rene- gade Montgomery,are giver un- due prominence and are most favorably commented upon by these jourrals while the protests of thousands of our noblest men are past by unoticed. There is something radically wrong in the public sentiment of the day. There is a manifest disposition to turn the hands cf time backward. Will the intelligent colored men heed these forebodings? THE WORLD’s COLUMBIAN FAIR, The Freeman respectfuily calls attention to the “interest that ought to be taken by the eight millions of Negroes in the World’s Fair There ought to be a depart- ment under the exclusive control of some wise head of the race, in which the improvements in the arte, trades, e'c,, of the American Negro could be properly exhibit- ed. So far no member of the race bas reen mentioned as a represen- tative for any state or any depart~ ment. B,K. Bruce is in every way fitted to become director geueral of sucb a department, and we urge strongly upon the race to appeal to the proper source for such recogvition, Let us havea Negro Department in the World’s Columbian Fair.— Indianapolis Freeman. We endorse the above editorial from the Freeman and hope that the colored press will be unani- mous in the suggestion of our dis- tinguished contemporary. —_—_————_——— Negro independents and demo- crats are not very fashionable at this season of the year. Dispised by the Northern democracy, dis- franchised by the Southern de. mocracy, hated by their own race, they are pitable objects indeed. Prof. B.T. Washington, of the Tuskegee College, Ala., is just now the cubject of severe cnti- cism at the bands of some of our ministers on account of an article written by him to a northern newspaper relative to the moral ’ turpitude of a large claas of color- ed ministers. It is worse than folly for the clergy to waste its time in denouncing Mr. Washing- ton for what he bas said, butif as they cay be has overstated the case, they should proceed at once to produce the proofs REPRESENTATION iN CON- GRESs. The speech of Hon. H. W. Blair, of New Hampshire, in the Senate Wednesday Sepiember 17, urging the consideration of joint resolutions proposing an amend- ment to the Constitution to con—- fer representation to the District of Columbia in the two houses of Congress and in the Electoral College. Among the many good words spoken in defence of the disfranchised people of this Dis- trict, Senator Blair said: “It would be difficult to imagine a more atrickiag evidence of the real political in consequence of the manhood of the District of Columbia than is furnished by the treatment which this meas ure has received, supported as it is by the Committee of one hundred and the great mass of the people of the District. * * * A freedom loving House of Representatives has not only con~ sidered such a bill in committee, but has passed it with great em- pbasia and solemnity. Bat when I present and urge it in two suc- cessive Congresses a proposition to make the men folks 10 a com- munity of 250,000 American citi- zeus politically free, by giving tbem the rght and to participate by their chosen representatives in maki g and executing the laws which control the property and the lives of themselves and of their wives and children, the Congress caunot find time to list- en, their plaint for treedom is unheard, and like our fore~fathers In the palace of George III, they are spurned with contempt from the toot of the legislative throne, and thus from a Congress as like- ly to give consideration to the twis vistrict than the distinguish- ed Senator from New Hhmpshire. We knew that a majority of tax payers want representation in Congress. We endorse Senator Blair’s speech. Editor Chase of the Washington Bee— a “honeyful” little animal, by the way, takes a sort of fiendish delight in stinging his fellow workers of the editorial hive. Editor Duke, the hero of the Montgom- ery episode and Smith seem to be engag- ing his attention just now. Wonder does he tackle Grover Cleveland any now.— The Citizen. Yes, we will tackle all skunks like the editor of the Citizen. If you don’t believe it come to Washington. President Harrison is being re- ceived with open arms every where by the people of the West. This is the first apportunity that they have to manifest to the Chiet Magistrate the high regard in which they hold him, and their approval of the wholesome man- ner in which he has administered the affairs of the government duriug the first half of his term. Despite the clamor of demagoges the people know that he hos dis- charged bis duties faithfully and bravely, they are availing them- selves of this occasion to show their appreciation in no unmis— takable way of the man and work. DUKES LIKE A COW—LET Us REFLECT. Puri —Quee: Why do people cali J.C. Dukes a coward? Is it because he is related to a cow? TeacuEer: Partly so and partly not so dear: Dukes is related to the cow in that he has no intel- lect, and he chews his cud. But he is quite uvlike the cow in an- other particular, (i,e.) the cow in time of danger instinctively pro- tects her calt; why, Dukes on a recent occasion, to save his own miseravle carcass, ran across two States, leaving his wife and chil- dren at the mercy of a mob Purtt: Did he ever go back to see whatever became of the lit- tle darlings? TeacuER: No not Dukes, he remained ata safe and secluded distance until some brave man brought his darlings to him. Puri. Ob!
