Strange to say, the Washington Bee, has at last discovered that B K. Bruce is not the biggest man in the World.—Free Speech, The Bee bas never said that Mr. Bruce was the biggest man in the world. Tne BEx has said however, and holds to it, that he is ONE of the biggest in the world. The Bre holds Mr. Bruce in the same esteem that it bas held him heretofore. The troable with Mr. Brace is that be ix surrounded by cut throats and he will not realize that fact until some one, in whom he bas so mach faith, stabs him like his pre- decessors were. Editor Chase of the Bee, who has for the past year or two been doing _volunta as Hon. B. K, Bruce’sma — Friday r- saken his idol and is now trying to cover it with mud. My. Bruce however slill wears his accustomed smile.—From the Syndicate of Liars, Whenever the editor of the Bre becomes any man’s tool orset np any man as an idol that moment he will cease publishing the Bex. The Bee generally defends those who upholds its editor and his friends, and when the editor and his friends are turned down for their enemies who are kept in positions of power and trust to the detriment of all good citizens and decent people, the Bek deems it best to allow his so-called idols to obtain their sup port from those who have heretofore held them up to publie ridicule and disgrace, YOU ARE RIGHT. We regret to see among some of our color- ed newspapers a disposition to sneer al cer- tain public men because they have been honored with an office. The Afro-American Journal, of Terre Haute, is one of these. It seeks by insinuation to question the sincer- ity of Hon, John R. Lynch because he advis- to stick to the Republican 4 their Own race who have worthy.

Fourth Anditor Lynch is right when he said that the Negro should sup- port the Republican pa'ty. There 18 more prejudice in the Demo- cratic party against the Negro than in any party in existance, Auditor Lynch is one of the most level headed men in this country. When he opens his mouth he knows what he is talk— ing about. FOR THE EYE OF CITIZENS AND SOJOURNERS. This office will be obliged to any lady or gentleman, residing permanently or temporarily in this city, (not for publication) but as a matter of intormation, for their views short and pointed, on the question now in agitation, and and which will be acted upon at Detroit next month, namely: Would you commend Washing- ton city as the proper place to in- vite the colored veterans of the Grand Army in 792? Do you think from your own experience they would receive such a wel- come as that given them in Bos. ton, San Francisco, Omaha, Saint Paul and now awaits them in De- troit?: Do you think hotels, res- taurants, inns, and other. public places would receive theni? This matter deeply covcerns our citizens, our visitors and sojourn- ers. Weare all in honor bound to protect these old veterans, es- pecially from insult. They spoke for us in the days that tried mens souls, We will speak for them now. GRAND ARMY ENCAMPMENT. Our readers are awe that a big effort is being made in this city by certain leaders in the Grand Army ofthe Republic and a number of} residevt merchants, tradesmen, hotel and saloon keepers to have the next encampment here August 1892. This paper from this day} iorward will use whatever influence it may be able to bring to bear to defeat this proposition. Why should the comrades of the Grand Army want to go to avy city where oue portion of their number, “the faithful allies,” the colored soldies and sailors, will receive insults and treatment akin to that the northern white teachers received when they went South back in the 60's? What hotel, what saloou, what restaurant in this city would ac- eommodate the colored Veteran? No, never bring the old Veteran here, as long as this bitter race mmm to say, and we say it unhesitatingly, | W. O. Whitney and a few ¢era| there is not the least suspicion. without fear of having misstated the case, that race hatred and pro- scription is fostered by leading Grand Army men, their wives, their children, in official life, grand army life and the the Womans Relief Corps. To bring the Grand Army here is to humiliate the colored veteran, and we say no, with a big N. THE IMPUDENT FORTUNE T. Thomas Fortune of New York is in the city. He called on Minister Douglass to ascertain when he was going to resignthe Haytian mission, but, the old man eloquent did not give him any satisfaction Ion. Geo. F. Down~ ing was alsoin the city this week to interview Mr. Douglass for the New York Wold. Mr. Downing isa Cleveland Democrat and in speaking toa Brg representative, he asked among other things if Fortune’s, petition for the Haytian mission, had been seen. He thought Fortune was rather im- pudent and cheeky, as «a Negro democat to apply for the Haytian mission. The Bre is of the opinion, although Fortune is a Negro dem- ocrat, that the man is too small. Fortune imagines that he isa greater man han whathe is, He will no doubt return to New York a wiser man, Among the many representative men from whom the President can select, are Prof. Gregory, R. 8S. Smith, J. C. Price and others, 5 FIFTH MASS., CALVARY AND THE ENCAMPMENT. In the Pilot Jast week appeared @ communication signed “5th Mass., Calv’y.,” in which the writer undertakes to belittle the movement on the part of Grand Army men, citizevs and sojoura- era, who are protesting against the idea of bringing the next en- campment here. . We have sent this communication of the 5th Mass,, Cavl’y. (colored) to our Boston correspondent and next week we will give our readers the benefit of his observations, bo'h as to the history of this regiment, which by the way we learn from a citizen of this city who served in it, was the only enlarad regiment igthe war that was made hors de combat, Becatise .0f inetliciency. sng total incapacity to become soldiers. We have asked our correspondent to obtain the views of leading Grand Army men there on the question of thenext evcampment and in the mean time we shall obtain in this city from visitors, especially gentlemen and ladies who have recently come here un- der the civil service law and who have had a taste of the proserip- tion and color-phobia, and there- by can speak trom experience as to whether or not this is the place to bring the colored war worn heroes of the Grand Army. MINISTER DOUGLASS. The New York Sun of July 7th, published some serious charges against Mr. Douglass’ private sec- retary, Hon. E. D. Bassett, which will be seen in another column of this paper. The Sun attempis to hold Mr. Douglass and his private secretary responsible for the re- cent revolution in Hayti. The Bre would like to ask the Sun who was responsible for the revo- lution in Hayti before Mr. Doug- lass was appointed minister to that republic? Mr. Douglass is no more responsible for what the Haytians may do than Hon. Rob- ert Lincoln, is responsible for what the English may do. The Bre could justly say, if the argument of the Sun is correct, that every United States minister is responsible for everything that may be done in the country in which the United States is repre-- sented, So far as Mr. Douglass is concerned, he has made as good a representative avroad as any white mun who has represented the United States. The Lay iana, like other nationalities, demand fair treatment. JOHN R. LYNCH. - One thing that can be said ot Hon. Jno. R. Lynch. he is hon- est1n whatever he says or does.
