Pablished every Saturday at 1109 1 Street Northwest, Washington, D. C. as second class mail anatter. W. CALVIN CHASE, EDITOR. Prof. Gregory having been thor- ougbly exonerated, he hke a maa, tendered his resignation. ——— The teachers committee will now revoke the appointment of Miss Summerville and Miss Peters. —— We congratalate the ‘People’s Voice” on its new dress. Bro. Smothers it fits well. Aside from the graduation of ladies of the Normal school, they should be compelled to give cer- tificate of their good moral charac- ter. ——— The “Baptist Church” bas chang ed its name to “Watch Tower.” Bro. Gray, why did you change 80 soon? The Baptists are the strovg est denomination and should have a paper named for them at the Cap itol. Would not they support the Baptist Church ? The Watch Dower, is the n»me of a newspaper edited by Rev. Wm. Gray. Rev. Gray is a logi- cal avd brilliant writer and there is no doubt but that his paper will succeed and be a potent factor in the body politic. The Brg wel- comes the Watch Tower in the field of journalism. Is it not a mistake on the part of the citizens committee ef the Grand Army. Encampment to appoint Capt. T. 8. Kelly 2s one of ‘he committee to visit Detroit next month? The committee will see its mistake when it gets to Detroit and don’t you forget it. Capt. Kelly’s military record is not the best to present to the people of Detroit. ——— The editor of the American Clown, alias C. II, J. Taylor, the successful block bead who went to Liberia as minister, was asked _some few days ago what law was. In reply be said that it wasa science that was too ecientific for his brain. When he was in Libe~ ria, the natives took him fora clown, but, the people in the West says he basn’t got sense enough to be a clown. —<—<— Some of the newspapers of the country are trying to convince the world that Hon. B. K. Bruce, and editor W. C. Chase nave fallen out, Not so, they are still warm friends.—The Waten Tower. Some Negro editors are of the opinion that one cannot friendly criticise a friend. The Bex enter- tains the same respect and appreci- ution for Mr. Brace as heretofore. Kditor Gray is right when he states that Mr. Brace and the editor of the BrE are ‘still warm friends.” The Bee dislikes the methods that Recorder Bruce adopt in dealing with enemies. Mr. Bruce has lived in this city long enough to know that it is not every man who smiles in hig face that is his friend. The most venomenous and unmitigated vcoundrel is the sneak Iago. PUBLIC OPINION. Some time ago, we were in receipt of a let- ler, announcing the candidacy of editor T. Thomas Fortune, of the New York Age asa candidate for the position of Minister to Hi ii, should Minister Douslass resign. Tru' we oppose him on general political princi- ples.—Arkansas Dispatch. Yes, and every honest republi- can is opposed to the appointment of this political acrobat. SS AND THE BLACK MAN. REY. W. C. GOWNES THINKS IT DOES NOT TREAT HIM FAIRLY. THE PR. Rev. W. C. Gownes, pastor of providence A. night preached a sermon the press a Friend of the In the course of his ne prees isa mighty engine for good or is very great, and it yaght tobe the c of the public. Itshould serve to lift men up, pot pull them down. Every time that a newsboy goes upon the street with neWspapere the human race is either elevated or it is damned. What 1 complain of inthe press is that whenever auything arises with regard w the black man the papers, instead of giving both sides of the matter, always present the dark side, and thus ‘cause the entire race to condemced for the fault of one man or of a few men.

Heis a native of Anap- olis, about thirty-two years of age and at present is the Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis World and Cleveland Gazette. Mr. | Stewart has been actively inter- ested in newspaper’ work for a number of years and has also trav~ eled extensively abroad in Africa, as well as Asia and Europe. If energy, health, intelligence, and business qual.ficatiens count for anything, he would well represent American interests at Liberia. —_—_—_—_ POLITICAL BLUN DERS. It is so strange that s> many political blunders are generally made on the part ofevery repubh- can admivistration. It is always presumed on the part of the Exec- utive, that the young republicans who have influence, should not be taken into consideration vor should they be asked into the councils of the politicians. The pext convention will show some of the brightest and most competent young neen in this conntry. The young republicans should not blame President Harrison for any seeming neglect on his part to recognize their claims; they should lame his advisers or those in whom te plaves the most implicit confidence and failto report to him the real condition of affairs. There 8, of course, some disutisfaction among quite a number of republix cans in this country, because their claims have not been given prop- er consideration. The Bree has always maintained that, if lees large offices were disx tributed among the party workers and more smaller ones, greater satisfaction would be given, The Bye wants it distinctly understood that the Negroes of this country have no recognized leaders, nor do they delegate their representative strength tu any man _who may claim to be the leader of the col- ored race, and the sooner the ad- ministration recognizes this fact, the better it will be for the party. THE NORTH Vs. THE SOUTH. One of the local contemporaries about two weeks ago declared in along winded editorial that the North was being iguored, so far as receiving recognition from this administration, was concerned; thatthe northern colored voter was disatisfied with the adminis tration on account of its failure to recognize ‘he northern vote. Some time ago the Brx had oc- casion to mention the oaumber of colored northern appointments that have been made by this admininistration which demon» strated the fact tbat President Harrison hed given the northern coiored vote fair consideration Why is the South so strong; that is the Negro representatives of the South? It is because such men as Messrs. Bruce, Lynch, Hill aud other representatives of the colored peoplg are united and are working for one common cause, When the northern Negro learns to unite in body politics, he will then learn the reasons why the scuthern Negro has succeeded as well as he bas. Why should this false impress- iou be made to the colored voters ot the country? Why not give men who deserve credit what is due them? The Bee is free to admit, that the administration bas been deceived in its [men, toa great extent and the sooner it realizes that fact the better it will be tor the Republican party. The Negro race is not controlled by these men, por can it be said that any administration will be a suc- cess when able young men are turned down for men who have no constituency bebind them. President Harrison has done well for the Negro, but, the fault is, that the men in whom he con- fides misrepresents the c mditioa of atlairs to him.
