C. COLORED CLUBS. The police authorities in every State and city will permit certain clubs to exist and others will be raided. In this, we are creditably in- formed that gambling is carried on in some of the best and most wealthy clubs and if an officer at- tempts to enter the door he is told that his buttons will be taken off. No Lieutenant will dare to swear to a raiding warrant for any of these wealthy clubs that now exist in this city. But-every colored club that car- ries on gambling and crap shooting on a small seale, a raiding warrant is issued and the members arrested and held as witnesses and the pro- prietor sent to jail. It has been but a few days since the District Court of Appeals de- cided that clubs should pay liquor license, and notwithstanding the fact, that at least, a dozen or more of the white clubs were permitted to run pending the decision of the Court of Appeals. The Morton Club was raided two months ago, and the manager arrested, and charged with having sold liquor without a license for which he got o* “aye in the work-house and for - 44g Up a gambling table he was sent to the Grand Jury. But through the ingenuity of his coun- cils, Messrs. Ricks and Langston, he was sentenced .o jail by the Up- per Court for 30 days after the ex- piration of h.s work-house sentence. This is the way the colored man is treated in this city by certain members of the Police force and men in authority. The wrongs of white clubs are winked at while the Afro-Americans are hound to death or pursued as if they were the great- est crimnals in the world. 1881--1896. ‘THE WASHINGTON BEE will be 15 years old Tuesday June 2nd. The Bre has sven its ups and its downs, its trials and tribulations, and yet it stands to day the leading exponent of the rights and liberties of the people. During the 15 years existence of The Bex it has been supported by the people irrespective of color, religion or politics. It has had the confidence and respect ofa grateful people, who believe in a fearless and independent journal. On all questions that have inter- ested the people The Bee has al- ways been found on the side of right and justice. It has exposed fraud and con- demned wrong, be it in the palace of the rich or in the huts and hov- els of the poor. The Anniversary celebration which was to have taken place at @lymont, June 2nd has been post- poned until July, at which time the press of Northwest Virginia, under the management of Editor Magnus L. Robinson, will jein in with The Bre and give one of the grandest events in the history of Negro journalism. HUMAN LIBERTY. Federico Gori, in a letter to Hon. Celso Ceasar Moreno, has ex- pressed the gratitude of the people of San. Marine for the resolution that was introduced in Congress by Representative Mahany. There is no man in this country who believes more in human liber- ty than Mr, Moreno. He loves the Italian people, whose cause he al- ways exspouses. He is a strong advocate of any nation or ple, oppressed by a strong and more powerful government. Human lib- erty is more paramount inthe mind and heart of Mr. Moreno than any- thing esle. The people of San Marino are entitled to the consideration is m‘nifested in a letter to, Mr. Mo- rene published in anothe? column of th.s paper. The Italian govern- ment would have a noble, true, honest, and great representative in Celso Ceasar Moreno. He knows no man by his color. He recognizes ability and manhood in all classes of poeple. Human liberty is greater than sentimental utterances. Hu- man liberty is the principle upon which great republics are founded. Sentimental talk does not give pro- tection to our oppressed people any more than a law that cannot stand legal test, is no law at all. Celso Geasor Moreno is for human liberty. HUMAN FIENDS. Shall the innocent be killed by human feigns ? Is there to be no safe guard threwn around the homes of our wives and children ? Shall outrages continue to be per- petrated upon innocent women by monsters in human form ? Is our present law sufficiently severe to stay the hands of these ;cowardly assassins ? Why should there be any sympa- thy fora man who meets a lone woman upon the high-way and out- rages her ? Could there be any punishment too severe for such a human fiend ? We should be as ready to con- demn offenses committeed by those Afro-Americans as we are to con- demn those who commit wrongs upon them. We should not look only on one side of a question. We should be fair, reasonable and con- sistent. The mistake that some Afro- Americans make, is their readiness to uphold a brute who commits a wrong. There are a few exceptions, but not enough to justify commen- dation from our more fortunate fellow-citizens. —_—_——_——-— LAW AND ORDER LEAGUE. It is due tothe pastors of our churches and all good Afro-Ameri- can citizens to organize a Law and Order League snd reform, if pos- s*ble, this class ef our fellow citi- zens who are inclined to commit crime. It is necessary for our own safety and protection that we make some kind of an effort to t2ach this dis- orderly gang that their own salva- tion, in this community, depends upon their good behavior. There is too much idleness among certain classes of our people. The time has come to the extent, that those of us, who are more for- tunate in possessing this world’s goods should see to it that a speedy reform is inaugurated to advance the race. POPULAR FADS. And now it has come to pass that somebody who has an empty pocket book will start a monument fund to Earnest Green. A few days ago a similar movement was inaugurated in the interest of the Kreglo girl. Some one wants to make money and neither movement is started ; with any degree of sincerity. Washington is a great city for “fads.” CONTESTED DISTRICTS. Hon. Joseph Manley, Secretary of the National Republican Com- mittee, has forwarded to Chairman Carter 158 contests and. more counties to be heard from. In Virginia, Secretary Manley omitted one district, the 8th, in which there is a contest against the lily white republicans. Editor Robinson of the Virginia Leader, has good grounds for a contest. WARDEN LEONARD. The charges against Warden Leonard will turn out to be like all other charges that have been pre- ferred against him by his enemies, In the first ‘place, we know if there has been anything going on wreng at the Jail it is certainly without the knowledge or consent of the Warden and his Deputy, Capt. -Rusk. In the next place the guards re- spect Warden Leonard too much to allow | anything to go on wrong, and protection of any strong repub-| No one knows wi lic. They are a grateful* people, as | puard in the Jail orWarden of the! itis to bea Jail but those who r personal observation, If those people who\are making , war (n Warden Leona would vol-! unteer to take the place\f the guard for one night, we are of ‘he opinion that they would call th Warden blessed. \ i The Jail is the best anducted institution in this county. |The citizens should visit the Jail nce and see how well things sre |2on- ducted there. | Warden Leonard is there from early in the morning till lap in the afternoon. No manis mop at- tentive to his brsiness than War- den Leonard and these charge are no doubt, the instigation of pme applicant for the place. The judges will no doubt} see their animous. PLATT MUST BE CONSULTED Mr. Warner Miller may W a great man in the city of New York but Mr. Thomas Platt is a grester man. His enemies may attemps to do him but it is an aphorism joo true, he laughs best who laughs last. It may be said that we can elzct atom cat, butthat tom cat must be able to carry New York and without it the cat is in the soup, Suppose thereis a split in the gilver States, as Senator Teller says, there will be, if Silver is not placed in the Republican platform, what will become of our tomcat ? No matter who is nominated for President there must be harmony in the party. MESSRS. SAKS AND PARKER. Mr. Sake the manager of Saks and Company is one of the best known men in the community and a man the colored people ought to patronize. We say this because he is one one of their best friends and keeps employed more colored help than any clothing house in this city. Next to Mr. Saks is Parker, Bridget, & Co., with whom Mr. P. A, Dixon is employed. No man‘is more friendly to our people than these two well known business men. ‘There are good colored people in this city and it is to their interest to patronize those business houses that know how to treat them. Then there is King’s Palace, Kanns and Sons. These well known houses appreciate the trade ot <ol- ored people. Read the advertise- ments in The BzE of those who are friends to the colored people. ALLISON THE MAN. Hon. William B. Allison is th best man to nominate. He is the Negroe’s friend. There is not a delegate to the Convention who will say that San- ator Allison is not the best man for the American people. We want everybody to prepa e for the press excursion and musi- cal fete in July. The great press excursion on the George Leary in July will be a great event. The United States Suprente Court decided a few days ago that the separate coach law was consti- tutional. Ne lf there is any law on the Statute books that guarantees protection to the Negro, we would like to see it. The Negro is not “‘in it,”’ in law, in politics, or in anything else. He is in the soup, in trouble up to his neck, and in other people's busi- ness except his own. The latest fad : Negro politicians off the fence. The office of Recorder of Deeds will be vacant in nine months, Will the list of candidates send their names confidentially to this office. CC Since all the offices under- the government have been placed un- der.Civil Service, would it not be well to nominate an _anti-Civil ser- vice President ? Have not applicants for office | the same right to be appointed to an office without a competitive Civ- il Service Examination as the Pres- ident of the United States to fill) the office of President ? There should be a law to place all Presidential candidates under Civil Service before they be al- lowed to enter the contest. We wager that an 8th grade pupil would know moie than some Presi- dents. Free silver or not free silver ? That is the question. Is it not better to have gold than the white metal that seems to be worrying the party leaders and pol- iticians ? \ | Men in Congress who like Civil Service Examination should be mude to enter one, either before or after his election. After he is elected is a great deal better because if he fails to pass, he will feel the effects of his fai'ure more keenly. There would not be so much spout- ing in Congress if we had a Con- gressional Civil Service Examina- tien. The Chicago democrats, notwith- standing the record of Gov. Altgeid will renominatehim for governor. FOR THE ST. LOUIS CONVEN- TION. Captain I. D. Oliver, Excursion Agent of the B. & O. Railroad, has been making extensive preparations for an Excursion of Colored Citizens from Maryland to the St. Louis Na- tional Republican Convention, to be held June 16th. All those who wish to attend the National Convention will please communicate with Capt. Oliver, at the B. & O. Central Building or W. Calvin Chase, Editor of The BEE.
