CHAIRMAN STEWART’S | ADDRE: Good Friday was a holiday for the! children in the public schools as well as it was the 33rd anniversary celebra- | tion of the emancipation of slaves in| the District of Columbia. It was a beautiful day and everything pointed | to a good display of military. The; hopes ofthe citizens were realized. | | The Chief Marshal, Mr. Benjamin} Young formed his procession at the} corner of 20th and U streets. Major} F.C. Revells who presented a were dignified appearance was in command | of the military and was mounted on a} fine horse. Marshal Young also look- | ed well and deserves credit for the arrangements of the parade. | | The line of march was past the} White House where the procession | was reviewed by the President, thence | |to the Wistrict building where the} ; Commissioners reviewed it. | Thence to Lincoln Park where a} platform had been erected and ad-| dresses were delived by Mr. W. Calvin; Chase, orator of the day; Mr. Jesse Lawson, and Mr. John A. Moss. Ed- itor Magnus L. Robinson, of Alexan-; \ dria, Va., read the acts of the emanci- | pation. There were fully ten thousand |people present. After the preliminary exercises had concluded, the president of the day, Mr. Geo. W. Stewart, in- troduced Editor W. Calvin Chase of Tue Bee, who addressed the vast multitude as follows: My FeLtow Citi1zens:—We have assembled here today to celebrate the 33rd Anniversary of the Emancipation of Slaves in the District of Columbia; OUR FREEDOM. 2 775 )a day that should ever be honored and ea remembered by this people, who 33 years ago were regarded as common | chattel and pigmies by law and custom. It is not my purpose, nor do I intend to speak of the atrocities of the past nor will I incite the young mind of to- jday with that which is still fresh in | the minds of those who have felt, by }expererience and personal contact, |those acts and deeds which a strug- |gling people have endured. I will \speak to you of the negro as HE Is jand as He Witt Be and endeavor to show you by existing fac nd circum- jstances that he is today his own en emy; that his emancipation has been | abused by his own folly and credulity; {his American citizenship on the high has not been protected because Ss not a factor at home; his present civil and political rights are disregard- ed by thi ate Rights Doctrine, sus- tained by a court of the highest resort by virtue of | non-political power in the American body politic. If he possessed that force of charac- f he had the force of character and mind to |properly discriminate between that which is morally wrong and obliterate that false race pride which has made negro leadership a failure; he would today be demanding from the proud |Caucassian, who rules the civilized | world, equality of citizenship and rec- ognition according to merit. | Tue State Ricuts Doctrine. \ The State Rights Doctrine has jcaused more political agitation than | any other measure that has ever been introduced in Congress. It struck the j vital chord of the Southern people, because it was presumed that it would Jeffect their slave trade or it would Daniel Webster, in the Senate, January, 1830, did not be- |lieve that a State could repudiate a law that was passed by congress. Mr. Webster on that occasion fur- ther said: ‘‘The great question is, | whose prerogative is it to decide on ?|the Constitutionality or unconstitu- | tionality of the laws?)

The Negro has demonstated to administrative powers that he is a! coward and his political force, since} his emancipation, is dormant, or in-| active. He has been hypnotized by | such influences that have blinded him to the importance of exercising those faculties that God has given him. His leadership is selfish, personal and demagoguery. The masses are given | false doctrines by a selfish and self styled leadership. That leadership tries to convince the more fortunate Americans or those in control of go ernments, that the negro is a consu-| mer and not a producer. | THE NEGRO AS HE IS | has an idea that by virtue of being an American citizen, and working on a false theory of the Anarchist believe | that_ he is entitled to the rents and | profits of other people’s lands. | The sooner he realizes the necessity | thing tangible and his surround- | ings be built upon moral superstruc- | tures, the sooner will his American | | citizenship be protected, and that doc- | trine which 1s dearer to one section of | the country than any other, will be ap-| plied to all classes of citizens. We cannot expect to realize our| hopes in our present condition. We | do not demonstrate that force which | the Irish, the Dutch, the German, the | lealian, Jews and other citizens pos- | ass of naturalized American | citizens, would ever declare to an American President, who had been| elected by their votes, that not one among them was fit or qualified to go into his Cabinet. The imbecility of the American negro and some of his clownish tactics have made Presidents hesitate in doing what they would. No matter how much inclined President McKinley was to have a negro in his Cabinet the utterances of some mem- bers of the negro race were sufficient to prevent him carrying out the desire. We have the most implicit confidence in the wisdom of the President and believe that the dawn ot prosperity is sun from behind the Eastern Horizon in all of his brilliancy, enables mother earth to bedeck herself, as she is today in her Spring attire, with fragrand@ trom her flowers, massive palms of na- ture’s production and surrounded by such green foliage as we see on yonder hill top. President McKinley will prove himself to be a ruler of all the people. Not loaves for the few but for the masses. I know our city is filled with impatient minds and restless hearts.

OUR EMANCIPATION has not entirely obliterated certain characteristics that were so prevalent among the slaves. ‘There is still a feeling of resentment among u The Dorwinain theory seems to exist to some extent. In that we all apply to the administrative powers for recogni- zation and_ask for places that have once been filed by some one, mem- ber of our race and if there is one holding a place every negro politican in the country wants it. 1 don’t mean to say if the incumbant is a corrupt man that he should be retained. This is one of the weal »s of negro lead- ership. Sympath: corrupt mem- j ber of the neg ften leads to an appeal to I. aS for his re- | tention. In this particular the negrois w ak and men in power see it. No man, be he white or black should be allowed to escape punishment if he deserves it. As we wish the laws of the land to be meted out justly to all citizens, so should we expect equal punishment for wrong doing. As we wish our citizenship to be measured with that of other nationalities so should we be ry requirements that wiil aid in main- taining governments and benefitting to the people. As children in schools are rated ac- cording to their ability and the per- centage they make. as competitors for prizes, so must the negro be rated for what he accomplishes.

My fellow citizens, as Rome was made for Ceasar during his time, so will this American republic remain in|} control of the Caucasian, until by our} strict adherence to law and justice convince him that we are in every re-| spect capable of self government; that we will produce and not consume ev- erything that the white man produces; that we will be manufacturers and sup- ply our markets with such goods that the people want; that we will educate equal in our production of the necessa- | Prove a great weapon in the hands of the negro. Present existing police regulations that are enforced could only exist under tyranical rule. Seme of these regulations do more to d grace some of this unfortunate class ot people than many laws that are claim- ed to exist in that section of the coun- try where negroes are condemned by Judge Lynch. We don’t need to any further South than the District Columbia to fi ; of our judge any of those South of the Distr ct Columbia.

This is the act of March 2, 18q7 President McKinley in the appointment ot judges who term may expire, will, it is hoped se- lect some one negro and there are many who can meet all the require- ments of an American citizen. The negro should not ask for sym- pathy if he is capable of demonstrat- ing to the administrative powers that he is what I claim he hould be. The negro is a success in law, withstanding the prejudices of some of ovr courts, and as a physician he is equal to the white man. ~ Our Freedmen’s Hospital will equal any in this country.
