SATURDAY DE EMBER 16 1899, PUBLIC OPINION. PRESIDENT CLEVELAND CONDEMNED AND COMMZNDED—TAYLOR’S CONFIDENCE, From tne Denver Statesman, The courage of the democratic party cannot be denied. However, in the light of some recent events it looks very much like the courage of a mad bull facing an approaching locomotive. From the Spokesman. Hon. C. H. J. Taylor says Langston did apply for Bruce’s place, and that he saw his papers. It is now a simple ques- tion of veracity batween these distin- guished gentlemen. Let the truth be told. If Langston is a democrat, he ought to be manly enough to stand up and say so. From the Lynchburg Counselor and Herald. The Washington BEE is probably more interesting and more feared than any hegro paper in the country. The EE is interesting because men of pow- er and influence have made great efforts to kill it, but instead of dying it grows faster and better. It is feared because it ae without regard te class, race or color. From the Omaha Progress. Cleveland’s message attempts to deal with every question of national import- ance, except the negro question in the south. This question he has evaded with studied indiference. It is very plain to us, however, why the negro question received no consideration from Cleveland. He caters too much to the southern contingency of democracy to say the least word in favor of better treatment of the negro in the south. From the People’s Advocate, We are not great lovers of President Cleveland because he is a democrat, but we are constrained to commend his pol- icy towark Hawaii. A few white Amer- icans and foreigners last year displaced the black queen from her throne and set up a republic officered by persons who were not natives of the country. Act- ing upon the reports of ex-minister Ste- vens, the American government sanc- tioned and upheld the insurgents and the Queen was driven from home. She appealed to President Cleveland and he has taken steps to reinstate her to her throne. From the Denver Exponent. Much has been said_by the press con- cerning the affairs of Hawaii, but Pres- ident Cleveland’s policy is most gratify- ing to all liberty loving people. ‘The President has saved his country from a great reproach and he is being highly applauded by the Afro-American press. lt aid that the dethroning of Queen Liliuokalani was trumped up by Amer- icans who have made their homes in the little du monarchy for only spoil. If the Haw n Government is offensive to these American usurpers they should return to the United States. America has enough negroes to butcher, and the rethroning of the Hawaiian Queen is a victory for justice and right. From the Carolina Tribune, The democrats seem to be rather hard up for presidential timber for 96. They are discussing the advisability of run- ning Mr. Cleveland for a third term. Well, that would be a capital idea. Of course no one else ever was able to make any headway with the third term busi- ness, but Mr. Cleveland is greater(?) than they all, why not try him? It would be the biggest wonder of the nineteenth century to see Billy McKin- ley, the Ohio wonder, knock the “‘ever- lastin stuffin” out of old man Grover, the New York stuffed prophet. From the Seattle Standard. THE NEGRO AN AMERICAN CITIZEN. v ik , that Grover, whose part; wepegeds tooth and mall “agic Nig. ger equality,” should, in the last decade of tbe nine'eenth ceutury attempt to re-estab= fish a Kingdom in the western hemisphere and seat onthe ‘hrone a negro woman of ac- knowledged African descent? That's one thing, anvway, in which Grover leade his party. This act proves he is not blinded by race prejudice.—People’s Call. President Cleveland has in more than one instance shown that he looks upon the negro not as a negro but as an American citizen, and that he is educa- ted above petty race prejucice. He ap- points negroes to represent this country in white countries just as he appoints whites to represent this country in_ne- gro countries. When he was president before he appointed Mathews, a negro, as recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia, whom the Senate would not confirm because he was a negro. He nominated Trotter, another negro, who was confirmed. If the democratic par- ty would only follow the example of Cleveland as to his treatment of negroes they could get the negro vote. V.I. M. & L.

Women are peculiar. Husbands should not get drunk. Thieves should be honest as well as husbands, All that glitters is not gold. All gold does not glitter. A genuine man is a dangerous man. Cordozo ought to go. Trustee Bruce is in duty bound to make a change in the high school. Cordozo should be rem oved. Mr. Bruce, do you know that our high school is a failure? The Freedman's hospital fight has commenced again. Secretary Smith informed the BEE man that he will settle it in a few days. There is a cat and dog fight in the high school. Some one ought to be made to step down and out. The offensive man should be made to hand in his resignation. The Sage of Anacostia should give ussomething on the Hawaiian ques- tion, Commissioner Parker can always find some negro republican to remove. Look out for the Ber, the negroe’s friend. The colored people ought to sup- port their own institutions. Jealousy is one of the characteris. tics of the negro. The artificial man of the Baptist denomination is too artificial to be given consideration. Great men will do some things some times. Be kind to your friends and honest to those who are true to you. Never deceive an honest woman’ nor should you be untrue to yourself Kentucky Johnson is still discharg- ing colored girls. Will the President call a halt on the axman of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. This is a white man’s administra- tion Even republican office holders think so. That is white republican office hol- ders who are in authority. Cardozo onght to go. Do your duty trustee Bruce. Let us have peace if we car, or war if we can’t help ft. No negro need apply to the fire de partment for a place. Itis written, nonegro need apply. All white men are not alike. Cleveland is right on the Hawaiian question. Pete Merrideth is one of the most : genial men in town. He always has a pleasant smile for j all. He knows that others have been rich but circumstances brought them down. Don’t be alarmed when you hear a gun go off. A negroe’s mouth is more danger ous than some guns. Read our new advertisments. Everybody pays his subsrciption but you. Why don’t you call and pay my dear boy? You know it has been standing some time. Will you call down tomorrow or on the first? Cordozo ought to go. co. WW .
