EE. COOPER. The man who edits the Colored American is Jessie Lawson, a clerk in the Interior Department; the man who is responsible for the publication of that paper is E. E. Cooper, a new adventurer from the West, who ¢ame to this city some few months ago and organized a stock company which has not as yet declared any dividends. Mr. Cooper came to this city to run a democratic journal, and since his stay here he has been working both democrats and republicans. He gone to republicans and represented to them that it is a republican pap and has done the same th'ng with democrats. He now claims to be running a republican paper, and at the same time he is telling democratic members of Congress that his paper 1s a democratic sheet. He is too cow- ardly to make an open fight a Taylor, but he resorts to subterft and falsehoods to make out a ca: Mr. Taylor says that he has put over $600 of democratic money in the hands of Cooper. Below will be seen one of Cooper's unpaid promissory notes, ard Mr. Tay!or claims that he has paid it: Washington, Aug. 23, 1894. Sixty days after date I pron to pay to the order of C.

There is no reason that can be offered which will prevent the p nt or the next administration from appointing a colored lawyer one of the judges of the police court. The negro is entitled to representa- tion on the bench and also in the dis- trict attorn office. There are hundreds of colored law- yers fully competent and able to be ap- pointed on the bench in the District of Columb President Cleveland wouid make a great hit if he were to appoint anegro judge. What the n )» wants is representa- tion in ev ranch of the Govern- ment; it makes no di ice to him from what party he gets that recog tion. —_—_——_— MR. FORTU WORRIED. Mr. T.

Herbert and others. The State convention was held at Treuton and it was one of the largest and most enthusiastic meet- ings ever heid in the State. THE MINISTRY. The ministry of this city as well as in every other city is more or less reaching after bigh things. There is not a micister in this city but what wants a big chureb, well furnished and artistically arranged. The people who support a church is the servant girl, the hod carrier, the bash slinger, the cart driver and the washer woman. The colored minister is more or less afraid to say anything that would insult the fastidious member of his church. The bone and sinew of his church very often receives rebukes while | the socalled aristocrat is looked upon as the pillows of the church. The pulpit is not doing its duty toward the common people. If the ministry would devote a little more | of its time to the welfare of the people and less to fine churches the moral, educational ana indus- trial advancement of the people | State—suei would be a certainty and the race would be a great deal better cf. 1 It Mr. Jesse Lawson would devote | more time to bis clerical work in | the Pension Office and less to tie | business end of the BEE he would be doing his duty. if Mr, Lawson | wants to know what the opinion of | the people has been of him and is uow the BEx will take great pleas- ure in telling. Mr. Charles R. Douglass will | have the pleasure for the next | several months of reading the bis- | tory of his attacks on public men, ‘city are confident that Senator Hull, ; John C. Dale LAWYER CHASE REBUKED. JUDGE KIMBALL WILL NOT AL- LOW NO BROWBEATING IN HIS COURT. [From the Daily Post.] Calvin Chase, the colored lawyer, has a very pleasant but rather too sonorous a voice fora courtroom. Yeste day he acted as attorney for an old colored min, Benjamin Wallace, Who was ac- cused of using profane language to an aged market woman because she re- fused to let him ‘lead her horse to water.” J. E. Burns, the market mas- r, caused his rest, and Officer took him before Judge Kimball. When Mr. Burns was testifying Lawyer Chase began toquestion him. The wit- ness took offense at the lawyer’s manner and was answering afer his own way ben Mr. Chase interrupted loudly with ow, don’t talk so fast.” Mr. Chase,’’ put in the judge, “ member the respect due to the court, if you please.’ Mr. Chase very suavely made his ap logy, but the next moment had harsh words again with the wit- ness. “T will allow no bandying of words between witness and attorney in this court,” exclaimed the judge. ‘* The lawyer 1 witness must treat each other with respect, ad I shall see fe a witnesses are net talked down hereafter. Go on with the case” After which there was no more trouble. Wallace got off with $10 fine. Lhe daily press of this city ant county can always publish what a white man says disrespectful to a Negro, but wil! not publish what good the Negro accomplishes or Says. In the police court or Monday Benjamin Wallace, an old cclored man, was charged by a white market master with being dis- orderly in market in having insulted a white woman. The only evidence against the colored man was what the market masters id, which was denied by the colored man, There was vo provocation for the colored man to use the lan:uage aitributed to him and notwith- standing the denial made by the colored man he was fined $10. When the attorney for the eolored man asked the white map a qnes— tion, he turned to him and said that “I am telaing to you, sir,” to which the court took uo exception, but as soon as the colored attorney turned to the waite man and asked bim a question in a very sharp manner, in the same manner he replied to the colored attorney, the court took exceptions. Some judges are always so afraid that the coioied attoruey will not respect the dignity of ihe court that they are forever reminded of it, es- pecially 1s this the characteristic o1 Republican judges appciuted by tbe last administration. What is greatly needed at this time is the right to appeal from the decision of the iower court of the police court. = Mr. Jesse Lawson, the putative editor cf the ‘Colored American” and who is credited to the State of New Jersey as a Republican and who went on the stump in the last eampaign in the interest of the Republicavs, in an issue of the “Colured Araerican’’ a week ago, mae an attack on the cireular issued by the Colored State Exec ulive Committee. This aitack is mide because he is net recognized by ihe colored Republicans +f the able ard iufluential Republ/cans as Elijah Jobuson, A. T. Webber, R. Henri Hertert, Col. Ww. Murrell, A. B.Cosey, John Chairman R. enri Herbert called the meeting to order and from the very start to finish the almost harmony prevailed. The delegates were royally entertained. AN ENGLISH: HIGH SCHOOL A BAD SYSTEM. Mr. Robert H_ Terrell, formerly eacher in tue high school of this in cotiversation with a repre sentative of the BEE, said that be asin favor of purely an English high school. He did not favor the present system taught by Cardoz, jMr. Terrell entertains the same opinion that others do who are in favor of ap advanced systew. The colured high school is certainly in need of a man at its bead like Prof. Hi. M. Brown. —_—_——— — A JUSY RETRIBUTION. aid last week, Sergeant should be dismissed from the police force.

WHAT THE BEE WOULD LIKE TO SEE. A colcreé judge in the police court. Negro attorneys united. Republican judges taught a lesson. Republican judges more ‘*espectabie to colored attorneys. Less hypocracy and more honesty. No more jealousy among colored law- yers, Home talent recognized m the High School. Hugh M, Brown appointed principal in the High School. Ee “i Superintendent Geo. F. 1. Cook ex- ercise more authority over the colored schools. S perintendent Powell attend to his own business. Dr. Williams more friendly to Dr, Francis. E. F. Cooper honest with somebody. Ce rson restored to health. The Capital Savings Bank a great in- stitution. Douglass MeCary a bank president. A few more young men like him. DON’T. Familiarity with other men’s wives and daughters is a dangerous thing. Be what you seem to be and don’t pretend more than what you are. Tell the truth, and don’t tell people that you are making more money than anyone else. It is unnecessary to show your ignor- ance when people think you are wise. Why not ask Judge McComas to ap- point Justice Hewlett next summer to one of the places in the police court. Don’t oppose it. It is unnecessary to make fun of your brother in distress.

A fool will make excuses but a wise man will not take them except they are plausible. Some untruths sound very plausible but it is not wise totellan uz.truth eyen for another’s good. A girl should not give a birthday party with the expectation of getting presents A well bred person should not address another by his Christian name in the presence of others even though the ac- quaintance may be of long standing. A simple bow is all sufficient when some one is introduced to you; an in- quiry after your health and ** pleased to meet you,” is a breach of etiquette. If you associate with people who use slang you are yery apt to fall in the same bad habit Remember the old adage, ‘‘ constant association begats a simulation ” There is no harm in a married man offering his arm to a la’y in the eve- ning, to the contrary it is quite proper. It is not necessary for a young lady to speak toa man simply because she met him in Snnday school or at his place of business. It is not wise to affect a love for your mother-in-law that vou do not feel. All that is necessary is to treat her with common politeness. A man not younger than twenty-five should marry a girl of nineteen or else he would not be able to advise or con- trol her. Not that men are supposed to be the rulers of their wives but the man should always be the older. It is very improper for a man to smoke in the presence of a lady, and certainly no gentleman would walk on the street witha lady with a cigar in his mouth. People of good breeding do not per- mit themselves to overlook those to whom courtesies are due. If persons conduct themselves cor- rectly as ladies and gentlemen should they will receive all due respect. The best way for a man to show his sincere love for a woman is to ask her to become his wife;and then he will see exactly how much she cares for him. It is certainly improper for a young man and woman to go shopping to- gether before they are married even though they may be engaged. Do not marrya poor, struggling man No man in this age hasa right to ask a woman to share the vgly limitations of poverty. Some differ in opinion and think that a man needs help and companionship. “The love of a good woman has streng!hened many a poor man to climb the hill of difficulty.” LOVELY WINTER FASHIONS.

Montreal, Oct. 30.—A‘ cable message has been sent to Scotland Yard ‘detec- -ives to hold James Mullins, arrested .n London on-the charge of stealing 335,000 belonging to James Darling, of this city: Mullins was for several “ears employed on the Darling Farm -t Hochelaga, noted’as a breeding place o£ valuable horses. He was looked upon as a most trustworthy man about the farm, and often received important commissions to execute. About six weeks ago the firm shipped consign- ments of horses for sale on the London market. Mullins had full charge of the horses, with instructions to sell at the best possible figure. The horses reached London in good condition, and Mullins promptly disposed of them for 335,000. He then disappeared, but the Stotland Yard men, who were notified, arrested him. He will be brought back for trial. i ALMOST A PANIC. A Fire Near a Theatre and Hotel in Philadelphia. Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 30.—J. J. Porter & Co., wholesale dealers in millinery and notions, at Nos. 820-824 Liberty street, were entirely burned out last night. Loss on stock is $200,000. The building, which is owned by B. F. Jones and valued at $50,000, is almost entirely destroyed. The Porter build- ing is located between the Academy of Music and the Seventh Avenue Hotel.
