ESTABLISHED JUNE 2, 1881. It has the largest ‘bona fide circula- tion of any Afro- | American journal published at the } Capital | { Vol, MITE. The Bee 1s a— Great Advertising Medium TRY IT! Do you want re- liable news? Ty you want a fearless race advo- cate? Do you want col- ored trade? Read and adver- tisein THE BEE! The District government. Let it be abo'ished. It is tyrannical and oppressive. The people are taxed without their Taxation without representation is n violation of the Con titution. Nhe government protects itself and pposes the people. It is not every man that grins in your face that is your friend nemies grin, friends smile, and snakes bite. You are never known until some one gets in trouble. Your friends want free. your services Some people are torn with cheek and some make it. Never trust a man who tells you a thing and warns you about it. A black gum person is deceitful. A man that never drinks, chews or smokes is dangerous in othor re- spects You very often hear a man boast of those qualities. But, ')! never allow him to be too familiar with your sister. A psalm singer is as dangerous as a drunkard. Psalm singers and some few tem- perance advocates will do more ras- cality than a sinner. All sinners are not dangerous. Be what you seem to be and noth ing more, Promises are often made when one is in trouble and broken after they are released. A noble man is often a poor man. “I told you so” are often the words of a crafty potitician. Don’t dislike one because others do. You must not helieve all you hear. Always investigate all that is told you before you come to a concla sion. It is the cunning man that is the most deceitful. Never make promises unless y:u intend to keep them. Some men are wise and some are foo's. Some men play the fool to demoa- strate the ignorance of others Aristotle once said he who leains is he wise or unwise. It is the unwise that learn because i the wise already know. Let the present District torm of government be abolished. Never predict the downfall of your enemies. The ditch you dig for cthers you often fall into yourself. Never speak ill of one if you know! no ill of him. We abuse one because others do. Never believe all that is said against | your neighbor. Never say any m re than you can prove. It is the wise man that never ta ks too much. A still tengue makes a wise head sometimes. Seme peoples’ tongues have to be sti'l because they can’t talk. The effect is in the brain. The brain is wrong sometimes, which often effects the speech. Abolish the present form ef gov- ernment. Men that know it all don’t have to be taught. No man is so wise that he cannot be taught. Be truthful, it will help your cause. A bad eause will injure you. A liar will steal. A friend that will steal your pocket beok wil! slander 5 ou. He will not always stea! trash, but will rob you of your g»od name. A good name in man or woman is a jewel. A jewel is a precious article. So is a good name. 5 me names may weigh more than others. But they may not be as good. Some articles are small and others large. Sma'l ones cost more than large ones sometimes, A ten carat gold rinz costs m-re than twenty pounds of sugar. Although you may give the ring for that much sugar. Su'livan is a larger man than the minis er to Russia but not as great at this time. “Never despise the day of sma’l things.” From !arge oaks li'tl- acorns grow. Truth is like water, it will find its level. A lie will flourish fur a time Be careful how you ialk to your friends. It is the wise and honest man that keeps a still tongue. Did he smile, if so, at what did he smile ? Me smiled at thoughts. Watch him, his thoughts are evil. There are exceptions to this rule. But he showed his teeth and gums. Oh! Abolish this form of government. WHAT THE BEE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. If Dr. Williams recommended a re- duction in the salaries of Drs. Shadd and Francis. my boy, he is dangerous. Has a white woman been appointed matron of the Freedman’s Hospital? Didn’t Dr. Williams say that he would not havea while physician in the hospital? If the editor of the Kansas City Mes- senger is not a braying ass? Ts not a new Negro leadership an ab- so ute necessity? If the white superintendent of the public schools will be allowed to run the colored schools. If the offices of the supervising prin- cipals are to be abolished. Why a certain young !ady insists upon wearing colors so unbecoming to ner complexion. Why a certain young man in office made it so long before he proposed to one of our popular young ladies. Will they reside on 4th street or will they reside on Capitol Hill? The use :f so many pocket books and no money to put in them. The reason some men are always finc- ing faul with their best friends and as- sociatipg with their enemies. me old girls insist upon going girls so much their junior. HELP A GOOD CAUSE.

Kim- ball, of the life saving service, detail- ing the splendid record made by his bureau in the cause of humanity, says that 380 vessels in distréss were aided by the tife saving service during the yéar. There were on board these ves- sels 4,054 persons, of whom 3,995 were saved and only 61 lost. The number of shipwrecked persons who received succor at the station was 658.

Brandon, Vt., Dec. 8. — The Post- Office robbers who operated at Ticon- deroga, N. Y., Wednesday night, were captured near here Thursday after a hot chase. There are four of them. The train dispatcher here received a dispatch that the robbers probably came this way. Sheriff Fletcher was notified and started in pursuit, but the robbers doubled on their tracks, came back through Brandon and hired a liveryman to take them to Rochester. The officers discovered the trick, and telephoned to Rochester for a posse to meet the suspects. Sheriff Tinkham and four officers started for the latter place and met their men two miles this side, where a desperate battle took place, resulting in the wounding of two officers and two robbers and the capture of the gang. Twenty-five shots were exchanged. The robbers were searched, and $45 and a quantity of stamps were found on three, but nothing was found on an old manu, who refused to say a word.
