THE NEGRO NOT AN EM- PLOYER. The labor-day celebration was, or should be, satisfactory to the Afro- Americans so far as recognition is concerned. A reporter for the Bee was unable to gather evidences of dissatisfaction from any of the col- ored participants, the only discon- tent coming from the frayed-edge sition ; but they are so debased by two hundred and fifty years of the lash, the effects of which cannot immediately be overcome. But, as intimated, all this is being uproot-, ed, overturned and destroyed by the slavery-untrammeled rising genera- tion; negroes are leaving Marse jJohn and old missus and gravitat- ing to one another with a co-opera- tive spirit that will tell for them in industrial lines, wonders equal to those accomplished by the race in ; educational. We have got educa- tion, social regeneration is perfect- ing; the next step is wealth; and with character, education, wealth and numbers the world cannot down us; we will ride to the front and stand there, John C. Calhoun and the doctrine of white suprema- |ey to the everlasting contrary not- withstanding. Bring on the negro-employing class. The next move our contempora- ry the Daily Times will make, will be the removal of the capitol. In the address next Monday, in Alexandria, Va., it is hoped that Prof. Langston will strike a home blow to lynch law in the South. The negroes need to be emancipated from lynchers and lynch law. There will be a strong movement on foot to urge the President to ap- point a negro judge at the expira- non-representative contingent, who are ready to kick any moment and at any thing that will afford them an opportunity to be demonstrative. Of course the negro had no repre- sentation proportionate to his quota of population, but the reason of this was floated plain before his face. If labor day said anything to the industrial negro, it plainly and emphatically declared that the negro was not anemployer. Of the six thousand paraders, no insignifi- cant number of whom were Afro- Americans, not a dozen were annu- ally maintained in supporting labor by negro employers, a fact making matter for surprise that negroes could have so large a representation. It isa matter for serious attention that colored people furnish no large employing class, and herein lies their principal source of political and industrial evils. The indus- trial scheme of the District shows negro laborers and white laborers, white employers, but no negro em- ployers ; in the light of this fact, is it to be wondered that the white laborer antagonizes the colored ? Suppose there were a large negro employing class in the District, then the white laborer, knowing that ne- groes could furnish him with re- munerative labor, would not dare discriminate against negro labor, and the white employer, who never discriminates againe* negro service except where the soc. +] line grows prominent, would make ttle racial discrimination in employ: abor. There are thousands of ed. sted and generally able young colored people here who can find no remu- nerative and respectable employ- ment, directly and solely to the lack of a negro-employing class ; for if they were all employed by white employ- ers an equal number of whites would be displaced, and the specta- cle afforded of whites employing negroes and displacing a large amount of white labor, which in turn would not be employed by ne- groes—manifestly an injustice. Is there not plainly before the negroes and this sad condition is due} tion of Judge Kimball’s term, of office. District Attorney Birney intends to push the Flagler case as hard as he can, He does not believe that the shooting of young Green was an accident. President Rankin, of Howard University, ought to resign. He is unpopular with the teachers and trustees of the university and with the entire negro race. The editor oi the Ghicinona Planet is on the outs with Rey. D. W. Brown. If Editor Mitchell succeeds in knocking down Rey. Brown he will knock the bottom out the True Reformers. If Editor Cooper puts up anoth- er model for aspiring youth he will no doubt take the medal at the At- lanta Exposition. Asa rule, editors of newspapers never apoligize. Of course when Editor Cooper placed the Kansas tenderfoot up as a model for aspiring youth, he must have been thinking of one of those Roman bulls that they once used in the Roman arenas. It is to be regretted that the Com- missioners intend to allow a preju- diced white class of people to influ- ence them against the occupation of the Miner school building. THE SOUTH AND THE NEGRO. ‘There was a time when the South could boast of its valor, there was a time when the North would shake and tremble with fear, when the South, even in its barbarous days, raised the shield of defense. There is no valor in the South to-day. Itwas lost on the field of battle in the late civil war. It will even be a black spot in the archieves of the Southern historian, that the lost cause was due to negro bravery. That valor that once caused the the duty of becoming capitalists, ] South to bloom and be looked upon men who can give employment to thousands of their fellow men be- fore they clamor for imaginary rights in the industrial field ? Hitherto the negro has been his own and worse enemy through petty jealousies and short-sighted self- antagonism, a mischievous spirit engendered by conditions of slave- ry; but this absurd disposition be- longs to the now disappearing old slave generation, and is being trans- planted by the far-sighted co-opera- tive spirit of the educated rising generation. Probably there are no people under the sun so lacking in . strong racial affiliation as negroes, who will see one another brutally outraged, oppressed and murdered without attempting effective oppo- as a section in the American body politic, that this notion would honor, has fallen, and now the lood thirsty assassin has taken command and makes the quiet nights shiver with the shot gun, and blood hounds running the poor ne- gro down who has been charged with some imaginary crime. Per- haps the coming Atlanta Exposition will tend to soften the hearts of those fiends and the bright side of the negro will be seen. There is still some hope for the South : there is a day of reckoning at which time the diary of the ne- gro will be opened and all accounts will then be balanced. The negro bélongs to a grateful race ; he isnot revengeful although | forget any act of gratitude and cry out revenge. There cannot be an apology made for the outrages perpetrated on the ‘negro in the South, There are several things in the minds and hearts of a majority of the South-; ern white people and those are, the negro must keep out of politics and offices, and above all things he must not marry a white woman. It is perfeetly lawful for the white man to live in open adultery with a colored woman; itis lawful for a white brute to ravish a colored girl and a jury acquit the culprit, but, if a negro is even suspicioned of having committed an assault on a white woman by common consent he is lynched. What will the future of the negro be? There can be oneremedy. A united action on the part of negroes in es THE DISTRICT POLITICS. There is a great deal of specula- tion in the city among the politi- cians as to who will be the success- ful candidate. The putative chair- man of the Carson Central Com- mittee, Mr. Aaron Bradshaw claims that he will issue the call for the election of delegates to the nomi- nating committee. In the first place the National Convention has not recognized either committee, the Carson nor the Chase committee, if Mr. Bradshaw will take the trouble to write to the Chairman of the National Committee he will be convinced that he is not numbered among the recognized committees. Every State has been placed on the printed slip, except the District of Columbia. It is said that Bradshaw and Car- son will be elected. In the first place Mr. Bradshaw never was elected from his district and if he claims that he was, there will be no mistake the next time about his defeat. No matter how much money will be placed in the field, the present outlook now is that Andrew Glea- son will be elected. The sentiment of the Republican party in the District of Columbia is against the real estate element. Mr. Carson has prominently brought to the front Col. M. M. Parker, who cannot be elected, and it will be foolishness for him to at- tempt the race or any other real es- tate man. While Mr. Gleason may not possesss great power of oratory and the command of language as others, he has good common sense and knows what the republicans of the District want. The BrE is not speaking from what it hears but from what it knows. The sentiment among the politicians is favorable to Mr. Glea- son. The next question is who will the colored delegates be. Among the many candidates are C. L. Cuney, Robert H. Key, Daniel Murray, C B. Purvis, P. H. Car- son, and several others who have not been announced as yet. HOW THEY STAND. The readers of the BEE this week will no doubt be pleased to know how the delegates stand for the next conyention. They will run as fol- lows : Gleason has not combined with any one. Carson will run with Bradshaw. L. M. Saunders will have as his running mate, Daniel Murray or Milton M. Holland. Robert H. Key and Orlett will pool issues. C. E. Cunney is making quite a fight. M. M. Parker will accept Carson if he can hold him, Albert Sillers has not selected his running mate yet. Dr. C. B, Pur. vis is in to winifhe can. He de- W. H. Brooker is the dark horse and will no doubt land as the Chair- man of the Republican Central Committee. strength in the convention he will} go to him to defeat Carson. The he has had enough to make him’ clares that he will not spend acent. question has been asked where will Carson get his votes? | didate claims are as follows : } Gleasons friends claim for him 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. 12, 13, \14, 15, 18, 19, 20. If Gleason can ‘hold these district he will- organize sociate. | Carson and Bradshaw ‘will at- tempt to have the old committee to call the convention, ceed in that he has not a majority of the committeemen and they will be defeatedg Key’s friends claim for him 17 UGE ale al eee Ca Ge UN: gives Key nine districts, not enough to elect. Daniel Murray claims 8, 1, 2, 3, 4,5, 6, 12, 1%, 18. That gives Murray eight disricts. : Ho'land and Saunders have not made any claim as yet, but it is likely that they will attempt to con- trol a majority of the districts Gleason stands ahead no matter what all other candidates claim. Certainly these different candi- dates will get some votes; there is no doubt, and it can be seen if they get one-third of what they claim it will bean impossibility for Carson to be elected. Mr. Brooker will certainly suc- ceed Bradshawin the 21st district. There must be a new committee elected and there is no doubt of Bradshaw’s defeat. AN EW MAN Is the title of a book written by Mr. H. C. Bruce. Mr. Bruce deals with the negro in slavery as well as himself. He makes a good defense of the master and the slave and gives a graphic description of the South and the Southern people. Of course we cannot agree with all Mr. Bruce says in defence of the Southern people in connection with the negro. He makes a defense of ex-Com- missioner John C, Black, and why he does so no one knows but Mr. Bruce. There was nothing in Mr. Black’s administration of the Pension (f- fice to applaud. Mr. Black was no doubt kind and good to Mr. Bruce, but there were others and especially republicans who were dismissed and reduced be- cause they were republicans. There were very few uegroes, if any, benefitted under Gen. Black’s administration. Of course there were some who were promoted? Competent colored clerks were taken from their desks and placed on the files. Notwithstanding the apology that Mr. Bruce makes for the masters, and notwithstanding his defense of Gen. Black, he has demonstrate the fact that he is capable of writ- ing a book that may do some good and convince the oppressors of the negro while a slave that there isone who has a heart and sympathy enough for hardyand wicked mas- ters to make an excuse for their wrongs against the negro. @ The book should be read by every negro and if you want a copy send to the BEE office for it. DR. RILEY'S NEW BOOK, The new book of Dr. Jerome R. Riley is in the hands of the printer and it will make its appearance some time this month. He deals with the negro as a democra: and his affiliation with the democratic party.
