What the negro wants in this busy American body-politic is a new leadership. That the old rep- resentatives of the race have provep themeelyes to be demagogues, hyp- ocrites, and knaves. Toeir life-work has becn the accumulation of wealth for no other use than to disgrace their memory. That negro lead- ership bas been a failure and a mockery to civilization 1s but a mild way to express it. The signs of the t'mes demand anew leadership; a leadership . which should instill in the minds of men those high and voble qualities that would tend to ele- vate the masses, if possible, above the common level, and subordinate that selfish and per- sonaljaggrandizement that seem to characterize men who arro- gate to themselves supernatural powers that entitle them to lead- ership. Had the present ad vancement of the race depended upon men Who had been looked upon as leaders, what would have become of this thrifty and progressive class, who by their own industry are becoming im- portant faetors, and will, no doubt, constitute a new leader- ship. We have wora the blindness long enough ; we have subordinated every principle that wou'd advance our own in- terest for others. We now throw off the mask of madness and the shade that darkens our eyes and look for a new field of labor and honest workmen. The crafty politician, the quasi leader, the cringing demagogue, the grining knave must retire from the field’) Ever since re- construction these blood thirsty knaves have disgraced the mem ory of those who gave the Negro freedom and liberty. The emancipation of the Negro placed the crafty politician and white element that claimed to be his friends in control of the gov ernments inthe South ‘til every State government under their contro! was abused and bank- rupted by mismanagement. The masses of the poor and ignorant Negroes were held to blame; then came the reign of terror: the ku-klux klans, otherwise known as midnight assassins made the homes of this class a hell, The office-holders from the governor down to the messenger eventually left the States, and the poor forsaken Negro could do nothing but stand and look at his fleeing leaders. Where are they to day? What has become of their boasted elo- quence and knavish logic that could be heard on the rostrum of the South’? They are here in the North at long range telling their brethren in the South what to do and how to obtain control of the State governmems that have been disgraced and once demor- alized. Ibis now time for the young Negro of the South to rise and proclaim a new leadership, mask of HE EDMUNDs LAW ——o_ == And now it has come to pass because a certain Examiner in the Patent Office by the name of Maxwell was arrested under the Edmunds Law, the local press of this city with but one exception The department claims to be wants {the entire police and detective departments investiga ted. While the BEE doesn’t indorse the methods reported that were resorted toto catch Maxwell, it is left to be seen whether such methods were resorted to as/ reported. 1m possession of sufficient facts to convict Maxwell and his lady friend, and if they insist that they are not guilty why did they forfeit their co'lateral ? District Attorney Mullowney informed a Times reporter one morning this week that the Dis trict Attorney’s office was re- sponsible for the arrest of this man and his lady frieed, and if they were not satisfied he would reopen tbe case. Inspector Hollenberger and his | corps of detectives with put two exceptions are honest men. What makes the case against Maxwell more serious, is that he is a psalm singer and if “spy-glass” meth ods were resorted to to catch them, Dectective Proctor is to be commended. So long as the police department confined its ar. rests to the Negroes in Louse, Chinch, and Hog Allies and Bloodfield, these pious hypocrites psalm singers. and Christian Endeavors remained very quiet and applauded the police depart- ment and declared that the city should be cleaned up. There | Christian hyhocrites would have the out sideworld to believe that! all the sin in Washington was. committed by the Negroes. i Indeed, none but Negroes have been arrested, while the psalm | singers looked on in Venice and | remarked that our police depart- ment was a model institution, but} when one of these psalm singers | was caught the edict went forth { that the entire police department } must be abolished ; Major Moore must be dispatched for. Tt is all unnecessary for the; Commissioners to order an inves tigation of the Maxwe'l case. If these psalm singers want an investigation THE BEE would} suggest that an investigation be | made to ascertain if there are any more white people on the} Maxwell order. If the local press is rally sin | cere and wanta few more of} these psalm singers brought to light, Tue Bre will be pleased to furnish the informa ion. If the advoca‘es of the rights of these pious hypocri es don’t want the light turned on, they j must let the Negro alone; or if| all are to be treated alike THE Bee will rerder the necessary} aid. | | | AN EIGHT -PAGE EDITION, WHAT IT WILL CONTAIN—A JOUR L.

There is a desire on the part of some one in the Police Department to ignorethe claims of colored applicants for the police force. It} is reported that several colored men presented themselves for medical examination a few weezs ago and to the surprise of their friends their cert ficates were returned unsound | for the applicants. {t was surmised that there was some mistake about these men, and to be satisfied their frientis had them examined by Dr. C. B, Par- vis. The Doctor made such an exam- ination that no other pbysician would give to. applicants. Hs report tu the District Commission- ers was thatthe menj who were reported “unsound” were found upon thorough examina‘ion to be perfectly sound. What disposition the Commis sioners iutend to make of these cases is not known, but it is, understood that the colored cit | zens will ask Congress to make a’ change in the mode of examination | of applicants for the police force.

New York, April 3—The Nova Sco- tian bark J. H. Marsters sailed from New York March 29 on @ voyage to Demarara, and returned to port yes terday afternoon in search of police | assistance and the services of a sur- | ; een. On the night of March 29, about sixty-six miles east of Montauk Point, Capt. McNeil came on deck to take a look at the weather, which was some what hazy at the time, and called to the mate to bring the fog horn. The captain had hardly stepped outside } the companionway when Seaman W. ; Holzheur, who was at the wheel, drew a@ revolver from his pocket and fired five shots in rapid succession directly at the captain, every one of which teok effect. One ball entered the cap- tain’s face just below the right eye; | one hit him in the neck, a third in the thigh, another in the left shoulder, | and the other in the arm. The captain, who was dazed by the suddenness of | | the attack, and the rapid firing of the revolver, fell prostrate on the | deck. The mate rushed to the rescue | of the master and disarmed the would- | be assassin, sefuring him before he could do further damage. Capt. Me- Neil’s wounds bled profusely before they could be bandaged by his wife, who was on board. Although he is very weak, none of the wounds is con- sidered dangerous. Holzheur was im- mediately put in the irons and con- | fined in the lazaretto. He is a native of Germany, about twenty-nine years | of age. When seen yesterday after- | neon he stated that he had no recollec- tion whatever of shooting Capt. Mc- | Neil, and appeared to be dazed. He was turned over to the police authori- ties of Stapleton, S. I. BLEW UP HIS HOUSE. Schmuda Hoped to Kill Himself and the Man Sent to Arrest Him. Dunkirk, N. Y., April 2 — Joe Schmuda, an Austrian, put a dyna- mite cartridge in the stove of his resi- dence on Pangolin street, this city, last night and blew himself up. Po- liceman Otto Walters was entering the house at the time with a warrant for Schmuda’s arrest. Schmuda’s in- tention was to kill himself and the policeman. In his own case he has probably succeeded, but Policeman | Walters, although badly shaken up and slightly bruised, says he is all right. When the explosien occurred the policeman had his hand on the door. The next instant he found him- self on his back in the street, forty feet away. Schmuda was taken from the ruins to Police Headquarters, where a surgeon discovered that the wounded man’s body was a repository tor fragments of the stove, tin uten- sils, wood and ashes of the weight of several pounds. Schmuda attempted to kill his wife and drove her from home early in the day, and the war- rant of arrest was on that account. MINERS BURIED.
