The article in our last issue on the orgunization of the colored | people of this city, in order to re- move the restricuoss and dis-| enminations whict certain bust: | ness houses practice against us, | bas exceied wide comment and stirred up deep iaterest. The most substantial citizens of the District are lending their bames and influence io the movement. It cannot be doubted that they have entered upou this labor with a full knowledge of the magna-| tude of ‘he undertaking. It is one of tbe most useful movements that bas yet been undertakev by vurp ople. ‘The most effective protest ihat can be made : gainst prejudice and proscription is to appeal to the material interest of those who practice them. ‘They will hear vo reason, beed no arg umeut, buithe jingling of the guinea will cause them ty stop aud histea 10 what the possessor has tosay.

The time is ripe tor such @ Movement, the situation aud the circumstances favor it. We bave among us the best taleut of the race. It would be the saddest of the commeutaries upen the pos sibilities of our people, if a com- munity of 80,000 of tne best edu caved, best employed and most prosperous of the race, cannot se tur manage their own material in‘erea's a3 to protect themselves from ingult and unjust discrimi- uatious No other people in the world would be so slow in usiug their maverial resources to assert their menhood and self-resp et. No seli-respecting colored citi- zea cau afford to remuinsilent or iud ffereut to this inovement. The leaders of this movement are men for whose judgment we have the highest respect, and yet we venture to advise them to be ware of personal bickerings and petty antagouisms aud jealousies which Lave been the curse of ali movements for the betterment ot our people. We must also advise them wgainst the precipitous haste wih which we rush inio new sup- port and indifference which we man.test after iuey have been in- augurated. it a wise and conservative spirit should preva'l in this undertaking, and if cur people, im high piuces as well usin jow places will do their duty as the piainest dictatcs ot self interest and self respect} points it out to them, this move- ment promises to be a blessing to! us, such as we have not witne-sed sinc the emancipation. But sue- cess in this matter demands un- selfish adberence to principle, coucentration of effurt and cohe- siveness of purpose. AN ENCOURAGING VIEW OF THE RECENT ELECTIONS FROM THE STPAND- | POINT OF THE BEE. Now that the atmosphere is clear- ing up so that the political sky can be seen sufficiently to give out au intelligent opinion as to what will be the outcome of the gigantic! strnggle between the two great political parties next year, we are constrained to the belief that at no time siuce the ineorporating | the Negro into the body politic, | has be been so important a factor In aiding to settle a great question betweeu the American people in the impending National contest for | supremacy of protection the Amer- | ican Industry and enterprise v.s.| aud No.4and 5 hats, not mach is expected, Tarift Reform, as the Negro Amer-| | bered that the question is, and as fiercely as the fight will be, never before has so great an opportunity presented it- self for the betterment of the con- dition, present and perspective, to the Negro as an American citizen as bow and on untilall questions are passed upon by the American electors at the impending quad= rennial presidential election. The elections just passed show clearly that the Negro vote, where counted, is of enough importance | to be looked after by any and ail} parties in this country, and fair and just treatment prior to elee- tions will goa long way toward securing that vote. Beit remem- balance of power isin bis bauds and that party | showjng hatred so intense to the] Negro as to annul the laws for the protection in the enjoyment of his | constitutionally guaranteed 1 need not look for support be can exereise his rights let or hinderance. All of the fine | theories of the ‘wiseaeres” (?) who predict this or that result | whenever a political eampai | on, aud leaves the Negro out in his | calculations, sould be disregarded | by men iu earnest w without twhese brethren are deprived of the tigots and | privileges as Cilizens. The Amer icau Negro should be on the look- | out for derilects in Congress when | it Convenes hext month and sean every act during its sittings, for by so doing the despised black ve will be tully advised nd prepared | unflinching! friends when the as le all along tue line by to stand firmly and by its tried sault is me the enemy The Ber, as is known by it readers, is of belief that the affairs of government bas been faitiiully and impartially administered by the Presideut, notwi nding the fact that by the auvice of his many preteuded friends; te was in duced to believe, when inducted into office, that by ignoring the! Negro they could build up a “white | man’s” administration party in the South, which has deservedly prov | en a dismal tailare, and the Prest dent has realized the fact tha these **Negrophobiassts” hypocrites in disgaise since which | he bas putehimself on record as a} friend of the Negro, so that with the many doubts as to what course | | | were | to pursue at first, the Negro now ean with confidence enter the struggle in better shape than ever | before, inspired by hope for the | deliverance of bis disfranchised | brethren in “Egypt.” Although | taking for granted that Mr. ifarri- son will be the standard bearer of the Republican party next year, in| the event of any unlooked for con- tiugency that might atise before the assembling of the next Repub- lican National Convention, sach as death or refusal of the President to allow his name to go before the Conveition asa condidate tor re- election, there is little deubs of | auy one, being of less provounced Views upun the status of the Negro | American will be selected to hold aloft the bauner of protection. So‘ let come what may the Negro is it a better condition to fight as an auxiliary of his ‘true friends” in the great decise “battle of the ballots” to be fought between the} two distinctive parties of this coun try on the ides of November next than ever befure, aud great and magnificent’ results are prayed tor and expected by the friends ot humanity, the world over wherev- er true christian civilization has obtained a foothold! After study- Ing over the situation since the trial of strengh between the two great parties, the Beeis satisfied that, botwithstanding, the practi cal disfrauchisement of the Negro iu a large portion of the country, he is so distributed where he is protected in tie elective franchise that be is a power iii the affairs of the land, and it is hoped he will use it for the amelioration of the condition of the race not so faver- ably situated ; and, as we intimated when we began this article, from our standpoint there is nothing discouraging to the Negro in the resulis of the late elections and his great and = sublime opportunites and possibilities hes before him! Will he atilize them? We shall watch and pray in the meantime for the consummation of tie wishes of the hundred of thousaniis of oui race under the band of political proscription imposed upon them by | self-appointed guardians of our} | | weltare. ee HE WANTS THE LIBERIAN MISSION, A delegaticn ot men composed of Messrs, Perry Carson, Ches hire and others called on the President Tuesday and urged the appointment of Ex-Minieter Joon H, Smita for the Liberian mission.

Many queer incidents have been re corded concerning the events whicl marked the opening of Oklahoma to set tlement, and especially about the grane rush for homes. Here is one: John Reed lived in Newport, R. L. it 1874, and had trouble in his home affairs He and his wife agreed to separate, and as they had two children they each took one. One night, just before ‘the opening of the town of Chandler to settlement, young man came to the camp fire of Reed, who was among those waiting for the opening, ang asked for some tea for his mother, who was ill from the excite ment of the rush. Reed’s daughter. now a young woman, not only gave him the tea, but went with him to se she could be of any assistance to the «filicted woman. During the visit the fact became known that both parties bore the same name and Mrs. Reed began asking « tops and showed such interest that the woman thought it strange; but. « had no idea that her mother in the West, she took no deep interest in the matter. When she got back to her f camp she told him of the woman their name, and spoke of her curiou she questions. Reed at once became deepl interested, and early in the morning wenttothecamp. His wife and he imme diately recognized each other, and a r conciliation at once took place. aud th two camps were merged into one The new found brother and sister were the happiest mortals in Oklahoma, wit! the probable exception of the husban¢ and wife, who will renew their youth with a honeymoon in seeking a m°® home together, as they did years ag the far East.
