We have already discussed the continuous method of death that would follow the destruction of de- fenseless lives by murder. We have already consented to as harsh a method of death for him, as he inflicted upon the girl ; so the reader will see that this is not the line of argument presented. It is not to revoke eternity’s claim in her case, not to tame the charac- ter of human wrath in his; but our purpose is, to suggest a method that will preclude the necessity of warning. ist. We do not deal with these cases of recent brutal murders, as against Afro-Americans, on terms of social evil with the whites, as white girls and woman have lived with Afro-Americans for more than three hundred years; but we dis- cuss the crime on general princi- pl Nor are we trying to keep races separate, that have a mixture of affinity that has existed through compulsory amalgamation — since 1634- We can not makea distinct sepa- ration of what is a natural mixture, but can suggest a method of con- sistency that will be a preventative | of death for all coming times. The righteous marner with which the dailies have dealt with these crimes is silently expressive of the same conviction which actuate our expressions openly, Therefore, let the girls profit by this borrowed expression ; that they *“can fool some of the people all the the time, all of the people some time, but can never fool a‘l the peo- ple all the time,”’ Let them too, remember, that Afro-American men kill Afro- American girls, and white men kill white girls for the same reason. Now, that the races are already mix- ed, and complexions have nothing to do with the character of crimes, we must expect that Afro-Ameri- can men will kill white girls upon the same general principles 2d. The straightness of a girl’s life that places her above suspicion, will entitle her to universal sympa- thy, and her brutish murderer to the severest method of death that a horrified community might unitedly see fit to inflict. 3d. White men, who are as wil- ling as others, are ready to lynch Afro-Americans for the inimica} fun that they find in it, ought also remember, that they have so long taught the harmless attitude of race mixture by centuries of amalgama- tion with Afro-American women, until Afro-American men and white women, have adopted tke same ir- revocable affinity, except by death as complained of in these recent cases We deeline to discuss the meth- od of death that the culprit or mis- erable wretch should die, since the recognized method is established by law, and the lawless method is @ sanctioned assumption ; but we simply demand a speedy death for every cruel murderer. Everybody accepts the testimony of James Smith concerning his re- lation with and destruction of Mar- guerite Drown by murder, there- fore, we demand an undelayed trial and sure death, free from any sympathy for the culprit. Let James immediately follow Marguerite, as he did not feel to go with her as did Andrew with Bertha. A BOGUS ORGANIZATION. There is s bogus organization started in this town to the effect very SATURDAY at 1109 I Street, that the managers will control all} 1 D.C the Afro American papers in this country. They have issued a circular letter, and on the letier is printed two names, as officers, to-wit: Mr. Blank manager and Blank secre-| tary and treasurer: It is a bogus organization to fool the McKinley and Bryan man agers. Itis.a scheme to fool cer- tain Negro editors and blind ex-of- fice holders who will be looking for a fat job if Major McKinley is elected. Washington is famous for dead- beats and crafty money sharks. CHAIRMAN HANNA SET DOWN ON COL. PERRY CARSON OF WASHINGTON, D. C. From the Colored Enterprise. Col. Perry Carson, Washington, D. C., who has been a member of the na- tional executive committee for quite awhile, has been relieved of his hon- orary position, and ask to assume an humble position among the humble politicians of his vicinity. This set- ting down was the work of Mr. Hanna, the Chairman of the National Repub- lican Committee. His reasons for set- ting Mr. Carson upon a common level was that he opposed the nomination of McKinley. Whether Mr. Hannaacted with discretion in this matter, we could not say. Weare personally acquainted with Mr. Carson, and say that he is a man of thought and natural ability. It is true, he is an uneducated gentle- man—really unable to do his own reading and writing with accuracy so as to be creditably understood. Mr. Hanna did not remove Mr. Carson from the committee. The two district delegates could not agree. Mr. Carson had been on the committee for 12 years, and he wanted it for 12 more years, but, Mr. Gleason could not be influence ed to agree to that, but would agree to select any one else named by Mr. Carson, but he would not agree on Mr. Carson, hence the Execu- tive Committee had the power to appoint. and through Senator Proc tor, of Vermont, Mr. M. M. Parker of this city, was appointed. Mr. Carson had nothing whatever to do with the appointment of Mr. Parker, at St. Louis, where Mr. Parker filed the petition to take away district representation. Mr, Carson was the man to denounce him, and before the appointment was made Mr. Carson said that he did not want Mr. Parker to serve. Mr. Hanna did not romove Mr+ Carson. So ot ewe seine eb eer SENATOR BRUCE’S ASSUR- ANCE. The press dispatches from Can- ton, Ohio in speaking of Ex-Sena- tor Bruce’s visit to Major Wm. McKinley, Jr., among other things Mr. Bruce informed Major McKin- ley that the colored voters through out the country would support him. Senator Bruce is a far-seeing and an astute politician, but THE Bex is of the opinion that the col- ored republicaus throughout this country are not satisfied with the manner in which they are being ignored, and if something is not done at once there will not be enough colored. voters left in the republican yarty to say that they ever belonged to that party. It may be that the republican managers don’t want the colored vote any more than the democratic managers. Thus far we have seen no overtures made to secure the colored vote, but, we do see every effort made to concentrate the white vote from all parties and organiza- tions. German documents are being sent out, Dutch, the French, and other kind of documents, and an effort will be made to subsid ze the Italian Press, and every other kind of press except the Afro-American press, IS THE AFRO-AMERICAN WANTED ? This is the question for Afro- Americans to discuss when the edit- or of this paper publishes the re- ply of Major MeKinley, in reply to his letter of July 17th, and received a few days ago. There will be no middle grounds for the Afro-American to take. He must show his manhood or say that he is still the serf and slave. We have received Major McKin- ley’s reply to our letter, and it isa great document. We await Mr. Bryan’s reply. THE’ WASHINGTON BEE. POLITICAL FICTION. BY PRIMROSE. Mr. Hughes, of the expected Co- lumbia Echo, is studying the free silver problem. Mr. James A. Ross, the political talking machine, has lately been discovered on the globe in Buf- falo. Col. Wm. Lamb, of Norfolk, Va., is greatly displeased with the Hon. M. A. Hanna, about the com- mittee appointment in that state, Mr. John Mitchell, Jr., of Rich- mond, gays that ‘‘lynch law must go,” but the people in old Mary- lank think differently. Chairman Jones requested Mr. Watson to speak in Alabama last week, but he positively declined. The big guns of the campaign are beginning to rise in Washing- ton for the purpose of loading and prinking themseyes for the bat- tle in November. Mr. Bryan gives a little talk to the correspondents nearly every night. He is consistent if not cute. He wont keep silent because silence is golden, That man, who pumps up his bicycle tires, is in favor of infla- tion for the common circulative medium. Another circumstance that makes this year’s performance on the po- litical stage additionally interest- ing is the double bill. So long as things go right no- body could have anything but good to say of the trolly party asa kind of midale-of-the-road organization Argument is as useless with some Populists as pouring facts into the ears of corn, or demonstrating truth to the eyes of potatoes. Possibly it was wise for the Madi- son Square Garden managers to get indemnity bonds over that coming ratification meeting, as Mr. Bryan threatens to bring down the house. In the present season of forest flames, a statement that the silver craze is going to run over the earth ‘like wild fire is calculated to scare lots of democrats in the woods. Many democrats do not expect a picnic, but it is a party in the woods. It is probable, however, that while silverites have engaged Mad- ison Square Garden, the manage- ment will refuse to plant it exclu- sively in daisies. It is an old saying that two heads are better than one, and;Mr. Bryan is now in a position to say some- thing about two tails. Because the farmers have the soil does not aitogether justify the Pop- ulists in claiming the earth. Mrs. Lease says she is going to throw herself into the front of the battle. Remembering low women throw, it will be fun to see the per- formanca. Both sides admit that they will have to fight to win. Still, a close shave will not be a remarkable event to either candidate. In writing his letter of accep- tance, Mr. Bryan will not only dis- dain using a gold pen, but it wont be even gilt-edged paper. As a matter of fact, the vote of this country will be less effected by the Hon. Hoke Smith’s conduct than by what John does. They say the republican literary bureaus are delivering financial tracts to a corsiderable exclusion of tariff arguments, for it hardly does seem the weather for woolen articles. It is rumored that Tom Watson has made up his mind to do his batting in the second inning. Postmaster General Wilson’s or- ders to his subordinates to keep clear of politics came a little too late. ‘The Chicago convention is a thing of the past. In order to be sure, Mr. Bryan will carry a part cof his audience with him to New York next week. Alabama was the first to lead off -in a bad state of a mixed up elect- ‘jon. ‘The ballot box stuffing party scame out victorious. One Joseph H. Jackson of this city should go to Maryland and vote before writing any letters. WHAT THE BEE WOULD LIKE TO SEE. A colored Judge in one branch of the Police Court.

Heis the most prominent and influ- ential Italian in America. He is a man of vast and classic erudition of iron will, tenacity, energy *and audacity, without fear and without reproach and always in the front rank for action with a generous heart toward the feeble, unprotected and defenseless as they are the unfortunate Italian slaves of both sexes and of all ages on this vast continent of America. Italy is badly governed at home and worse repre- sented abroad. i Italy needs a noble, able, patriotic, fearless, energetic, prompt anda su- perior man of the world for her ambas- sador in America in order to destroy the many evils which torment the Ital- ians in America,to punish the numerous evil-doers, to promote a better order of things, and to restore the former prestige to the glorious’ Italian name on this side of the Atlantic. We know no other man better fitted for sucha difficult task than C.C. Moreno. He stands to-day the equal of any man and the superior of many, If there ever was a true, honest and upright man, it is this Italian-American, He has more influence with the Ital- ians and Americans in this country than any other man. It is because he can be trusted. They look to him as their Moses. When a man conducts himself so that he can be trusted he is a great man. Celso Ceasar Moreno is that man. W. Catvin CHAseE. Bayard, Gray, IT IS JUST THE BEGINNING. (From the Republican Advocate.) It seems strange that Negroes like Langston, Bruce, Lynch and Cuney are not heard of now-a-days in the councils of the Republican party, even Perry H. Carson, for years the repre- sentative of the party of the District of Columbia, on the national committee, has been turned down. Is this the beginning of the end? IS THE COLORED VOTE FOR McKINLEY. EX-SENATOR BRUCE ASSURES HIM IT IS. Canton, O.. Aug. 3. senator B. K. Bruce, Of Mississippi, was one of the callers on Major McKinley today. He is familiar with the political situa- tion throughout the South and thinks Major McKinley will! carry Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, North Caro- lina and Kentucky, said he: “Tt will be found that the Demo- cratic politician in the Southern States has until recently been able to keep the South solid. Hereafter the progres-! sive elements of the South will take such action as will advance the mater- ial prosperity of that section. They want a protective tariff that will build up that section: that will invite the manufacturers, and do for the States what it has done for the great North, East and West. They look upon Major McKinley as the apostle of pro- tection. ‘They also want sound money in- stead of depreciated silver dollars and they regard Major McKinley as the embodiment of that idea also. The colored voters of the country, both North and South, are enthusiastically supporting Major McKinley. They know him to be their friend.
