Show THE BUSY LITTLE BEE ox ON monday morning april ath while passing the utah national bank corner we had the distinguished honor of coming in in contact with the flannel mouthed editor of the busy little bee and after tie he had succeeded in backing us up against the telegraph pole he very forcibly endeavored to im impress the idea upon our mind that he did not write the editorial which appeared in in his paper the week prior to that on black patti and her troupe in his effort to convince us that it would beim be im possible e for only one person to supervise or write all the matei ial for his hia classical clai publication his mouth expanded co such an enor extent that it would have been a very easy matter to have driven a four horse team through h the opening of the same turned around inside and driven out again without the least difficulty when it came our turn to reply we very politely informed the little bee that so far as we were concerned it was immaterial to u who had written the article referred to and therefore we did not exact i or require any any explanation and we further S said aid possibly he did not write all the articles which appeared in in his paper but if any of its patrons ever became offended 1 with adv any article which ch might ap I 1 pear tending to reflect upon their integrity and honesty they would not stop to ascertain whether it had been written by the nates or other attaches but invariably they would go gunning for the person whose name appeared as editor and publisher the paper which is is edited by our bl blue gum friend contained a t three I 1 column article in its last issue on i the broad ax am and the editorial which it contained on black patti in its issue issue of april 2 1 the bee admits that it is is not a I 1 judge of music music grand opera etc and that its editor would rather watch a game of craps than to attend an inaugural ball he is is thoroughly convinced that all negroes who have distinguished themselves in in art science science literature or professional work of any I 1 kind have had more or less white blood in their veins veins but this rash statement upon the part of the bee is is utterly and absolutely false i the greatest negro that the world i has ever produced was a full blooded african we now refer to toussaint louverture who is is known to all students of history J B rives is is oneff one of the greatest pulpit orators today in in this country and prof blyden who is is one of the most eminent scholars in in the world are both coal black africans 1 i but bat perhaps it would not be amiss amiss at this particular time to mention the fact that there is is not a particle of difference between the blood which flows through the veins veins of queen victoria and the royal nabobs nabors and anglo saxons of this country and the blood which courses through the veins of the blackest and wildest savage of africa we most emphatically defy the editor of the bee or the tha greatest medical and scientific authorities in the world to prove to the con tra ever since the introduction of slavery into this country the little six by aix orthodox divines and their allies the newspaper editors have hare advocated this separate blood theory for the purpose of striking a deadly blow and deadening the conscience of the anglo saxons who delighted deli gated in in selling their own flesh and blood we would esteem it a great favor if the editor of the bee would indicate in in his opinion the proper course for all educated respectable and progressive negroes to pursue in order to win win golden opinions from the members of the anglo saxon race we have read in in the bible or some other work that a negro assisted the founder of the religion of the cross to carry carry his cross to t the place where he was was crucified if this is is true then the negro ought to have been hurled headforemost head fore into hades for the teachers and preachers and the followers of the man from gallilee have gone 1 forth with the bible in in one hand I 1 and the sword in in the other with the intention intent i on of evangelizing evangel izing and christianizing all the people upon the face of the earth but for the past eighteen hundred years with 1 few exceptions all the followers of jesus have been taught to place all negroes on a level with the ox and the horse |
