Cheatham, in speaking of the personal of the Na- |tional Republican Committee, has some good things to say of Col. Ss. | Perkins, private secretary to Senator Hanna. | Among other things Mr. Cheatham \said: “I am personally acquainte | with Col. Perkins and no better, man | and friend to our people can be found. He not only does all in his power to | advance the colored man, who is wor- |thy of promotion and appointment, | but he recognizes all men, irrespective | of color, as being under one flag and are entitled to protection. Col. Perkins |further remarked Recorder Cheat- ham, has a keen conception of men } and when he is assured that they are worthy of consideration and aid, he never hesitates to give whatever as- sistance he can to help them.” “I shall probably make several | speeches in Ohio duripg the month of October and do all I can to convince my fellow citizens that the salvation of all classessis in the republican pirty.”” The Bee as well as the people, rec- ognize in Recorder Cheatham, ele- ments of true leadership. He is sin- cere in al] he does and especially in the interest of the people. Every ef- fort he makes is in the interest of the people, irrespective of color or condi- tion. DR. RILEY’S BOOK. THE PHILOSOPHY OF NEGRO SUF- FRAGE. The new book of Dr. Jerome R. Riley, entitled the Philosophy of Negro Suffrage, has reappeared. It will be remembered that the publishers were threatened with a suit C. H. J. Taylor because Dr. Riley in his bork sustained the editor of The BEE in charges that were made against Taylor. Dr. Riley enter- ed suit against the publishers and he has succeeded in having the book published. He only succeeded in having published ,at the time of this | threatened suit, about 200 copies which were sold at once. Dr. Riley doesn’t only sustain The Bee in against Taylor but he adds more to the book which makes it more inter- esting and brilliant. Every citizen should have acopy of the book. If Taylor wants another libel suit Dr. Riley is prepared now to assist him in bringing it about. >H CHURCH.

While I am not person- ally opposed to a change in the board of school trustees, | three trust es being ap- 1 posed to pointed from one church. The Park Temple church of which Rev. Sterling | N. Brown is pastor, will have three trustees, if carried out. I understand Rev. ling N Brown isa candidate, he is th pastor of the church, ex-Senator L. K. Bruce, is chairman of the trustee board andthe money power inthe church and Mrs. M.E. Terrell, is one the best known members in the church.

THE NATIYES OPPOSED TO HER, Honolulu, Aug. 24, 1897- Carissimo Moreno: S: | I received your letter. | Your sugges-' | tion is something to be considered and lit needs time. The independence of | these islands under a good monarchy |is dearer to me than the independence lof Corsica to Genetal Paoli. Yes, | Queen Liliuokalani made blunders and she is still committing foolish blunders, |no one here who has sense wants her to be restored. | If the United States wishes to annex |the island, the only way is to annex | Hawaii without considering the voice of the native Hawaiins. Do like France | when she annexed Corsica. The Gen- -|oese sold Corsica to France, and the | Hawaiian oligarchy will sell Hawaii to | the United States. | If the United States senators believe , lin the voice of the native Hawaiins, | you will not have annexation, but res- |toration of monarchy. Not because’ the Hawaiians do not like the United | States. It is the contrary The United States is the only friend of Hawaii in) commerce, and without her friendship , Hawaii is a bankrupt country. If the United States desire that Ha-! waii shall be still independent under a friendly protectorate, then we must! | have monarchy, the only safeguard of this small country from the mercy of crusty politicians, &c. There are ma- ny respectable chiefs and chieftesses living yet, and who are much better qualified than Liliuokalani in every re- spect. There is one branch of the Kamekameha stock living whom I will: menuon first with others : ' [Keova descendants, nearest to the | Kamehameha. ] First. High Chieftess Elizabeth K. Kekaanian, Second. Princess Daisy Napulahao- , kalani. | Third. Princess Eva Kuwailanima- ! mao. Fourth. Prince Roberto Kalanikupu- apaikalaninui Keova. fth. Princess Virginia Kaihikapu- mahana. [Kalakana’s descendents. ] First. Princess Victoria Kaiulani. Second. Prince David Kawananakoa. | Third. Prince J. K. Kalanianaole. | Let the United States offer her good offices to settle the Hawaiian difficulty | and select one of the chiefs or chieftess- es I have mentioned as a monarch that reigns, then we never will have any more trouble here. And in case when the United States desire to annex the islands she can do so. Japan has no idea to annex these islands, and Marquis Ito confirms it, and no other power in this world wish- es to make enemy with the United ates. I have showed the way to annex these islands, also the way to settle our trouble. | You will find an extract of your Jast letter to me in the Star. Tell Senator Davis that | am a warm friend of the United States, and nearly all the intelligent Hawaiians are friend- ly to the great republic. My best aloha nui to you. KOBERT W. WILCOX. P.

JACQUES — THE GREAT EASTERN TRIP. Prof, W. C. O. Jacques, the well- known artist and president of the Ne- gro Art vompany, has returned to the city from the East, where he has had much success. Prof. Jacques has open- ed his studio at 1733 Tenth: street n. w. is in charge of his very talented lady, and one of refinement. The Boston Cour- ant has the following to say about his | great exhibition in Boston this month: | _‘‘The pictorial exhibition and lecture given by the Columbia Negro National | Art Association of Washington, D. C., | was held at the A. M. E. Zion church, | N. Russell st., Boston, on Thursday | evening, Sept. 2d. It was one of the grandest attairs of the kind ever wit- nessed 1n this city. At an early hour the exhibition room | was crowded with people from points for miles around, who were much sur- prised and also pleased with the fine | specimens of art which adorned the walls. About 9:30 the vast assemblage | were invited into the auditorium where for an hour and a half they were favar- ed with fine addresses, solos, duets and | | | an excellent and instructive lecture on | art by Prof W. C. O. Jacques, master | artist of the Art Association. The exercises were opened with sing- ing by the normal. An able address | of welcome was then delivered by Rev. S. F. Dickson, the pastor of the church. | Among other things Rev. Dickson said | that many of the other races had doubts | relative to the negro in professional | work, also as to their capabilities and possibilities in the study of art, but that | be referred to the lecture room below | what the negro has accomplished in| art. He said that ail we wanted was a chance to show what we can do. May God bless you and may success follow | you wherever this work may call you. | Miss Miles, of Providence, R.I., then | favored the audience with a select solo, after which the address of welcome | was responded to by Mr. Wooten, who spoke ably and earnestly.

T. Davage | then rendered a duett, which was loud- | ly applauded. The lecture by Prof. Jacques was next on the programme, and when Rev. | Dayage, the manager of the association | introduced the famous lecturer and art instructor there was much applause. | The professor said that we had lat 0.ed hard to overcome disadvantages and fought against yreat odds of culture, | wealth and the brain of the opposite | race. He said that we had madea place in the world and have shown what we could do and what we will de. He said that we have professional | men not only in Boston but ail over this | country who are doing this work as well as any race can do, and yet itis said we are notable to doit. We firstmade | monds, jewelry, pistols, guns, me chanical tools, ladies and gentle our success in music. It was then stated by the white race that any negro could sing, and that was all they were | fit for. One man stated that he would be ready to die when the negro could translate Greek, and to-day a negro has written a text book on Greek which is used in Yale College,.and in fact all over the country. Mr. Jacques said that it has been stated that we could not produce min- isters who could ably prepound the gos: pel, but we have men whe can give us theology and furnish proofs to back it up, and who are able to compete with the leading white ministers of the coun- try. Norace, with the history we have, can boast of the achievements that we can All we must do is to unite Africans, come together, protect and open up avenues of labor for our chil- dren, and their success will be ours.

In their efforts to dispose of the spu- | j tious tickets, they aroused suspicions, ! | which were at once communicated to Ithe B. & O. Agent, who immediately }took such action as led to the arrest | and conviction of the woman, who was | found guilty of selling counterfeit tick- | ets, and sentenced to six months in ‘the work house, and to pay a fine of | $500 and costs. The man succeeded in making his escape, but as he is known to the rail- road people and the police, his arrest jis only a question of time. The B. & O. officials have taken |every precaution to prevent the sale | or use of these spurious tickets, and have expressed a determination to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law anyone caught attempting to use counterfeit mileage or other bogus form of transpotation, and will be es- ‘pea vigorous against brokers und offering them for sale. | ————— { | | | Mr. J.
