Colorphobia Rears More and More Audaciously Its Oblious Head. EACH RACE RESPONSIBLE Whites Guilty of Unconscionable Aggressions—Blacks, of Pitiful Acquiescence—The Case of Hodgson—Even the Ministers of the District Draw Color Line. SHEET Correspondence of THE AGE. WASHINGTON. March 18.—The freest place for the Afro-American in caster-ridden America ought to be the National Capital. But it is not. Washington is a Southern city in respect to color prejudice. Here, in spite of equal laws, the lines which separate the races are hard and fast. The line of division runs through the schools, churches, theaters, restaurants and hotels. On one side of this line are Afro-American schools and churches, and on the other, white schools and churches. The line passes through the theatres in the main, where Afro-Americans are oploughed or "jim-crowed." From restaurants and hotels this same line shuts them out entirely. They might be strangers in the city, as were hundreds during Inauguration week, without food or place to lay that heads, yet for them no eating house or hotel, and because of the odds any more than they had for the wild animals at the Zoo. Strange to say, this outrageous state of things exalts to day and has existed without the slightest color of law to support it, for a quarter-century. Indeed, the court has been so insistent on the Civil Rights bill, which was overruled by the Supreme Court and declared inoperative in respect to the several States, remains in full force and effect, on paper at least, in the District of Columbia and in the state of Texas. When then, does it happen that the Civil Rights law of the Republic falls in practice in this city, the capital of the Nation? For two sufficient reasons mainly: the attitude of the whites in relation to its enforcement, and that of the blacks. Which the Court has not consented to, but defeat its equal operation by an unequal administration of its just provisions. The blacks have positively acquiesced in the injustice, have submitted quietly to an inquisitive situation in which the blacks have been guilty of quiesce, and to which no liberty-loving people ought tamely to submit: The result of this aggression on the part of one race, and submission on the part of the other, is seen to-day in the steady in crease of Negrophobia in Washington. It has been heard, in many places, in unlooked for directions. There has been heard; not once but many times of late, a voice calling for the separation of the races in the street cars of the District. Indeed, the "Jim Crow" car is no stranger in the capital. Street cars running between Alexandria and this city drive here every day in the year and every day in the year steam railroads running into Maryland and the South do likewise. Every day white and Afro-American people are growing more and more accustomed to the colossal race discriminations. The whites are thus being prepared to make the race the rights of the blacks, and the blacks are being prepared at the same time and by the same means for still other deprivations, for the most abject submission to theoke of social inferiority and inequality. Unless this "Jim Crow" invade Iowa cars running from Chicago to South Boulder is fought and checked at the boundary of the District of Columbia, an attempt will be made at no very distant time to introduce the "Jim Crow" feature on the street railway line of the capital of the Nation. Will the colored people of the District ever awake to their danger and to the pressing need of determined, concerted action, to ever learn that "who would be free themselves must strike the blow"? At the lunch-counters in government buildings no discrimination on account of color is practiced. But even in this respect there seems to be an exception, which has been established to a certain extent at the lunch counter and restaurant of the District Court or Court House of the District. It appears that Afro American members of the and other Afro American patrons are admitted to the lunchroom but are excluded almost invariably from the restaurant where white men and women are accommodated. This custom has grown up with the acquiescence of the Afro American patrons, for, when they wish to be admitted to the lunchroom, the restaurant of fellow in the restaurant has been, I am told like angels visits, few and far between. So they themselves help to draw the color line against themselves, to establish "Jim Crow" conditions for the race in the District. It is too late to shut the stable door after the horse has got out. The best time to fight the establishment of Jim Crow customs and conditions is when they want to take body and form. An source of prevention in such matters as in all others is of more value to us than pounds of cure. Judge H. Wleft had recently a disagreeable experience in this restaurant. During Inauguration week he took a friend from Boston there for a meal and was at first refused. As, however, he insisted firmly upon his rights, he was finally served. But to a certain extent, were not the colored members of the Bar as well as recorder. Dancy responsible for the conduct of the restaurant people. Would Judge Hewlett have had this unpleasant experience at all had those self same gentlemen eaten their lunch every day. In the restaurant instead of in the lunch room as here, custom is. I think not. "Costa esfopfia" is an excellent rule to follow. Co orphabs in the District received a reck ago a highly dramatic and disraccful illustration in the Western High school of Georgetown, when a pupil named Hodgson wrote on the black board before the school, as an example of the correct use of the word "debased," this instance: "Howsevelt debased himself by wing with a "nigger." For this office as principal of the school, Miss Westcott, expanded the young southern black guard, and wrote to Director Higgins a report of the case. She obstructed hag report "In English restoring this meeting film Cunning called on students to write sentences illustrating correct usage of words and phrases. He used a hand, asking specifically the persuasion to illustrate the use of the word 'tables'. His sentence was, written on the blackboard, in full view of the class and with a smile: 'I will be here to answer questions (Here the sentence is given.)' "From my knowledge of the boy and of his attitude of disrespect of authority and institution, and from my conviction that he was not well-educated, denominating to the boys our public schools, I have to-day expended Mr. Hodgson from the Western High School. I further recommend that you report this matter to the board of education, and that you give me the education for the expulsion of this student from the high schools of Washington." Director Hughes proceeded therefore to confer with the Superintendent of schools, and together they decided that the boy should be reinstated. And so the following letter was sent to Miss Westcott by the Director of High Schools: "I have gone over Reginald Hodgson's case again and again since you reported it to me. I do not think the matter calls for dismissal from schools, although I recognize the fact of the accumulation of offences, as well as the vulgar and imprecatory language used last. If the boy applies to you for re-statement kindly send him to me." The real reason of Superintendent Stewart and of Director Hughes for overruing the action of Miss Westcott, it seems, is the inability of the school authorities to separate the insult to the President from that to the Afro-Americans. The Superintendent desided the NJ. Board of School Trustees could punish the first by expulsion, but not the second. For to punish this vulgar insult to the Afro-Americans might be misunderstood by the South, might be interpreted as an indirect approval of the bigaboo social equality between the races Of course, these two school officials could no measure lend themselves and theirs to the white race, the President of the United States to the contrary not withstanding. Will the matter be brought before the School Board? And, if so, will Board confirm the action of the principal or that of the Director of High Schools in this case. In the meantime we have our eyes on Director Hughes. We do not trust him. We have had mighty weighty reasons to follow his action not only in this case, but in other cases, with suspicion, with very grown suspicion, his opinion of the thinking Afro-Americans of Washington. For this situation the uniform conduct of Mr. Hughes as director of High Schools seems largely if not wholly responsible. "The true 'plty; and peril' is true." She wrote the above, the Board of Education has met and decided to confirm the action of Director Hughes in the premises to throw down the Westcott, the brave principal of the Georgetown High School, and indirectly to vitiate the Board's everlasting honor be it recorded that this action of the Board was taken against the stubborn, highminded, and vigorous resistance of Gen. Boynton and of Mrs. John K. Francis, members of the board of education. Have we now resumed this disagreeable indole? We shall see.

Special Correspondence of THE NEW YORK AGE ATLANTA, GA, March 30.—Nestling in a bed of the Chattahoochee river, twenty two miles north of Atlanta as the crow flies, sits the pictureque village of Roswell, once the home of President Roosevelt's mother and named after Roswell King, a wealthy relative of here. It is situated six miles from the main line of the Southern Railway from Washington to Atlanta, and is connected with that road by a branch line. Like the majority of small Southern towns, it is noted for its absence of hurry, its inhabitants being content to take life as they find it without uuidence excitement, yet, with, they are a prosperous and wide awake people. The town is built up around a square, with substantial buildings, most of them being only one story high. On the outskirts are factories that give employment to quite a number of people and present a scene of activity in contrast to the quiet of the square of town. To one standing in the suburb, the town presents a most pleasing appearance, with evidences of thrift and prosperity on every hand. Such is, in brief, a sketch of the place that was once called home by the mother of our present Chef Executive and where she, of the most popular belles of the State, was married and became Mr. Roswell. A pleasing reception will be accorded the President when he visits Roswell, as he has signified his intention of dof. In for all the Piedmont accession there is not a more hospitable people than the citizens of this model Georgia town. He will be as safe from insult and harm as he positions himself as he is located in the United States. While the people probably will not be demonstrative, they will nevertheless, be sincere in the cordial handshake and welcome extended him. The spirit of friendliness obtains in the town and is even manifest in the treatment extended to the Afro-Americans living in and adjacent to it. Indeed, the newspapers are never called on to chorelate under a Rose The Afro-Americans, for they are a lyrical The Afro-Americans, for they are a lyrical The kindly spirit exhibited toward them and are law abiding and in dustrious. It is but natural that the President should desire to visit the place. When he does so he will be delighted with its attractiveness and the friendship of the people, and besides will be given an oppor-tunity to engage in the business. Gorgia has famously noted for their cotton and other products. If his trip is made in June or July he will gaze on uncounts of acres of green-growing cotton stalks, while if it is timed for the fall, he will find the fields verily "white unto harvest." In either event he will find something to long and write much to prove that the purest Anglo-Saxon blood exists in the South. An to the truthfulness of this assertion I know little, being identified with and particularly interested in another race; but it has not escaped my observation that he is found, is capable of showing, and most generally does show, befitting deference to those in high station. It is therefore a safe proposition that when President Roosevelt makes his Southern tour he will be given a welcome in keeping with the high point of his career. In the wilds of the Texas woods or in the heart of any of the buoy and pro-gressive cities of "The New South." To be sure there have been differences of opinion with reference to executive acts, and those differences have been dwell on at considerable length, but in the actual presence of the Chief Executive they have been forgotten for the time being at least. A great big bomb has been exploded in the Republican political camp in Georgia by the appointment of F. Carter Tate, ex Democratic Congressman from the ninth Georgia district, to the position of United States District Attorney for the northern district of Georgia, displacing E. A. Anger, who has held the place for eight years. At first, it was that the President had made a mistake, but when all the facts are known it will stand as a very wise piece of judgment on the part of the President, who seems to keep well posted generally on affairs in all parts of the country. There was likely to have ariens considerable bickering on the part of several Republican applicants for the place, none of them any better lawyers than Mr. Tate, and all of the others their country to the well added so much manum. The President has, to my way of thinking, very wisely averted this. Apropos of the deposing of the incumbent, E. A. Angier, it might be mentioned that he was the official who in the face of the written request of the entire Republican committee of the State refused to appoint H. L. Johnson, a well-known African-American his alleged reason being that the appointment of Johnson would be distasteful to the white; whereupon Johnson proceeded to obtain endorsements from some of the leading members of the bench and bar of his home city and of the State. It so happens that the colored attorney was known and equaled by the judge of his town for his ability and good character. Many of them endorsed him, and there was very little like blood of any objection being made to his appointment. It pleased the District Attorney, however, to turn him down. Of course he had a right to do so and Johnson was not guilty of the proverbial "treat." Now it comes the district attorney's time to be let down and, not until he had been in eight years with a salary of 2ve thousand dollars a year. There is no earthly reason for using the neck of the woods to object to when the President has done in this instance and we think he has manifested an intent and knowledge of George affairs that is fully, resembling. The following depicts to the Atlanta Constitution deserves more than pending notice: QUIZER, On. March 18. (April.) - McKenzie & Sons, of Atlanta, have the fortunes to lay the seven for Grina, and have they seen us work here. Recently they devoted every the agreement of using Italian hake in this work. As I say and have the same idea, the work has been with interest. Some since the they imported from New York about seveny-five ineburs from Italy. For a while all went vital, but to-day the Italian struck, and are now standing to go back to New York at once. The robbers given for the strikes are many, and yet the grievances of the men are hard to learn, at few. If any, of these remaining have been most very much worried about the事 is not very much worried about the foreigners leaving, as their work has not been so good as was expected. Pinned side by side with Negro laborers they did not show up according to the claims of the contractors from New York who furnished them. They were worth nothing to the merchants as they spent practically every month. They were not able to supply from New York and Italy. The Negro laborers in demand here. His condition was never better in this section. All of which is suggestive, to say the less of it, and will be better investigated. It will be noted that the special makes use of the language: "The reasons given for the strike are many." The theory bangs the story. Within the last ten years the question of labor in the south has been the subject of considerable agitation. The great bulk of heavy work had been placed on the broad shoulders of the Afro-American, or for those who should be employed, for those who should be to do and since circumstance and conditions seemed insistent that he alone should do it? To dig the swarms, to sweep the streets, to build the railways, to plow the fields and in great measure to erect the buildings seemed designiously to fall to his lot. The duty was accepted with an avidity and real that are shown by actual experience. The grubber because this portion falls to his lot, but set about it with the strength of his hands tried to the song from his throat. There was satisfaction and never a murmur, though the hours were long and the pay not large. In the city nothing was allowed to come between him and his job: in the country he worked by day though the white-capter rode by night. He worked with his wife and self and his loved ones and was gradually accumulating a surplus that would stand him in good stead and serve as a set-off against the dreary day of the future. Then the voice of the calamity hower was heard in the land. It told all of sorts of evil in allowing the Negro to be regarded as the chief labor factor; it predicted that in a short time he would become calm when the arrogant and warlike Afro-American labor would interfere. It will all upon the argument that Afro-American labor was inferior and should be dispensed with. The result was the attempt as importing foreign labor. There is a world of meaning in the last two sentences of the special above quoted, because the condition of the Afro American labor is not in many places of the Boor's land to be. Poughkeepsie News.

The Fully of Birth The fallows of the suburbs stage in New York University show the fully and widespread of that sort of burden on wages by organized labor and tolerated by the good-resolved ethicry. But these recurring stresses and conflicts of organized capital and labor are obscuring the public at large and paying the way for needed and inevitable actions of the whole matter. It is not conceivable, this a great community like New York, will tolerate fewer the painful inconvenience and hardships of such a lying up of the transportation facilities as has just occurred and is likely to occur at any moment. That is a ratio of average conditions of society in which the power is left in the hands of a comparatively few capitalists and a few laborers who are unable to adjust their differences, to paralyze the industrial Life of the city. The rights of the people are never considered by capitalists or labor unions when they have difference, and neither of them could do business for a moment without the consent or tolerance of the people, who own the franchise and should be able to resilient them when they are abused byhouses to wheat they have been farmed. We have outgrown the time—and the conditions when strikes should be tolerated at all. They are an abuse of the public generosity and patience. The State should authorize and maintain a Court of Arbitration, in which all disputes between labor and capital, should be referred, whether the parties to it identified it or not, and they should be compelled by law to abide by the feelings of the Court. The rights and convenience of the people are paramount to those of the capitalist and the labor unions, and the people will you make that fact appointe as the nose on the face. Filipino Independence. The natural and rational aspiration of the intelligent Filipino is for nationalist dependence. So much the writer learned when he was in the Philippines Islands, and he had conversations on the subject with scores of the most prominent and able of the Filipinos from the Province of Rizal in the south to the Province of Cagayan in the North. If they did not possess this aspiration they would be a queer people. Whether they are capable at this time of self-government in another question, Secretary W. H. Taft was a friend and good administrator of the Filipino people who he was Governor of the Islands, and he is to-day, perhaps, the best friend the Filipino people have in the United States. He has the car and enjoys the confidence of the American people. In a recent letter on the subject to a citizen representing the class who wish to invest their money in the Philippines, Secretary Taft said: Association with the American people. In the Islands and here at home, if the policy of treating the Filipinos as inferior is continued, will widen the breach be tween the two peoples and strengthen rather than weaken the aspiration for independence. The hubbub over the marriage of a white girl by a Filipino, at St Louis, during the Fall, the exclusion of a Filipino boy from the public schools of an Indiana town—a boy who came over on the steamship with the writer, in company with a young school teacher of Cincinnati, who had taught school for some time in one of the southern Provinces and who was fetching the boy to the United States to educate him—and other evidences of a race prejudice which appears to be ingrained in the American character, and which is an invariable evidence of provincialism, while apparently trivial in the eyes of Americans, are taken seriously to heart by the Filipinos, who have plenty of newspapers in which all such evidences of antipathy and narrow evidences are properly reported and discussed. And it all tails, as the writer knows, with the speech and conduct of American residents in the Philippine Islands, a majority of whom make no effort, in public or private, in high or low places, to disguise their contempt for the Filipino people. This is entirely to the fact that the civil and military departments of the Philippine government are honeycombed with Southern white men, by appointment of President McKinley, who, for some inaccurate reason, President Roosevelt has continued and enlarged upon. As for marrying a Filipino woman, an American in the Philippines would no more do it than a Southern white man would meld an Afro-American; but they make mistakes of them, and get children by them, to be deserted when the man gets ready to return to the United States. Think you the Filipines do not put this significant fact in their pipes and smoke it! And this thing cannot be truthfully denied, al though the Philippine government has but recently made a statement, denying the truth of it. Bearing on this vital subject, the writer recently sent a letter from an Afro-America resident in the Philippines, Linda. died last January, in which the following passage appears: "We begin in the house of our general secretary, Mr. Carvin, and call him "David Carvin," in Carvin, Carvin, and Balthusman they are personally native. All the native people about Mumbai have been dispatched to the course of Bombay, besides the army has been called upon to assist in the war. We have been with Balthusman. Much could be said about the course of this general distribution, which is in a large measure due to the important condition of the Providence of the new and growing capital of India, as the present region. I would like to whisper, quietly, that no such easy metal terms exist between the native language and Balthusman, the Governor Falen, as we were in the flags of the country that has grown up close the pasture of Tennessee, Governor Luke Wright, moved into the place where the prime cause of present disturbance. I watch in the thought of it—how hardly handled she has been held the last lesson in "bringing his place." The Filipino is a high strong, sensitive people, much as the Japanese in this respect, but the Americans in the United States and in the Philippine Islands trust him as if he were a dog to be kicked and otherwise abused, and then imagine that he will be grateful for the privilege of remaining under the American flag, but outside the American Constitution, and that long association with the American will, under such circumstances, induce him to love the precious America and long to remain a part of him and his social and civic institutions. No; the Filipinos want a man's chance, the same as the Afro-American wants it, and denial makes each of them vindictive and revengeful towards those who deny it to them. It would be unfair, however, not to say here that a great deal of substantial good has been by and is being done for the FIL pence by the American Insular government, especially in the public schools and the example of proper administration of public affairs, and is sanitation, and by the American business men, who are not ting a hot pace for their Oriental and European rivals in the control and development of the commerce of the Islands. Harry Stewart New: The appointment of Hon. George Bruce Cortelyou to be, Postmaster, General has led to a spirted discussion as to who_ is to be his successor as Chairman of the National Republican Committee. It is admitted on all hands that Mr. Cortelyou made one of the best and strongest Chairman of the National Committee that the party has had, measured by the decisiveness of the victory that he won. Indeed, Mr. Cortelyou has shown ability of the highest administrative order as Secretary to the President, as Secretary of Commerce and Labor, and as Chairman of the National Committees, and it is expected by those who know him that he will display like abilities in the conduct of the Post Office Department and later of the Treasury Department, to which post he is to be transferred upon the retirement of Secretary Shaw. But it is regarded as proper in some quarters that he should reinhabit the position of Chairman of the National Committee because there is a desire that the various candidates who wish to suc- ced the President shall have a free张, unharmed by Administration influence of whatever sort. There is even a whisper here and there that Mr. Cortelyou may himself be a candidate to succeed President Roosevelt, as well as Secretary Shaw and Secretary Taft. Harry Stewart New of Indiana is the logical successor of Mr. Corteloy, in the event of the latter's retirement as Chairman of the Committee. He is the Indiana member of the Committee, and served vallantly in the Chicago headquarters in the two McKinley campaigns, under Chairman Hanna, in the last of which the writer served with him. In the last campaign he had charge of the Western headquarters, at Chicago, under Chairman Corteloy, as Vice-Chairman. Logically Captain New should succeed Mr. Corteloy as Chairman of the Committee. He has all of the qualifications for the position. He is one of the best, albeit and most genial of the younger leaders of the Republican party, and has made his way in the party councils because of his abilities. He position in the Republican politics of Indiana is absolutely secure, as was that of his father, the Lion. John C. New, before him. There is no man in the party whom we should rather see succeed Mr. Corteloy as Chairman of the National committee than Harry S. New. It is held in some quarters, however, that the appointment of Mr. New would give Vice-President Fairbanks an unjust advantage in the context for the Presidential nomination. It is a far cry to the time when the forces will be lined up for the nomination of the successor of Theodore Roosevelt as President, but there are signs that the "various aspirants have been to prepare for it. It is highly probable, however, that none of the names now mentioned in connection with the nomination, will be heard" of four years from now. The changes which are wrought in all directions in the course of four years, and especially in Presidential candidates, is a matter of party history. It is highly probable that some man not now in the public mind' will bear the palm away, despite anything the Chairman of the National Committee may do. The editor of the Washington Bee, when not engaged in the practice of law, is engaged in malicious mischief, striving with all the apparent earnestness and thoughtfulness of a child playing with fire to confuse the race and obstruct its program. As some power controls what shall and what shall not appear in the column of the Boston Guardian of a personal, abusive and malicious character, the Washington Bee is allowing to appear in its column this refuse matter burned out of the Boston Guardian. What does either the Washington Bee or the Boston Guardian expect to gain personally for the race, by the policy of abuse, microrepertoire and defamation of character which they have for a long time pursued and are perusing? We should be glad for the benefit of the man to have them two dienies, repent and do works most for imprisonment. In time of peace a wartime purpose for war, in the day of peaceability the wartime purpose, well for the safety day, which always comes, whether peacefully is made for it or not. These are who now, which have been adopted on rules of government by suitable nations and individuals. But it is his remand, for General Kuropatkin, the Russian commander in chief in the war with Japan, to enact such military policies in the may pennies in the establishment of unity of retreat. From the three preliminary battle of Lloyngy month ago to that of Malden, General Kuropatkin appears to have spent more time and resources in establishing bases to which to retire, in the event of defeat, than in retreats to hold the enemy in check and to worm him it possible. The battle of Mukden, the thirteenth since the begatling of the war, was won by the Japanese, as the other two had been, but more decisively and with greater slaughter of men and destruction of munitions and stores. It is possible that 1,600,000 men were engaged in the battle of Mukden, with a loss of 300,000 in killed, wounded and captured. The Japanese came near annihilating the Russian army. A year ago, when General Kutbashin left St. Petersburg to take command of the Russian arsenal, he was勇敢 enough to declare that he would conclude a peace under the walls of Tokio. It sounded magnificent, but he has never been able to get near Tokio than Port Arthur, and it is probable that he will never get there, except as a prisoner of war. The Japanese gave him a surprise and a series of whippings which he will remember as long as he lives. Indeed, he has been supervised in the command by General Liawitsch, and will return to Russia with not one victory over his enemy to his account. It is a fair presumption that if General Kuropatkin had spent less time and strength on the preparation of bases of retreat he would have had better success. It appears by his own reports that he never went into a battle without having all sorts of old bases of retreat. From the beginning of the war we have watched for the report from a battle that General Kuropatkin had begun to fall back on his first base. Soon after, it would be reported that he had fallen back on his second base; and then his third base. Before he could reach his fourth base, generally, the Japs would be so close in pursuit that he and his army would be compelled to just盟 over it. When the battle of Mukden was begun, almost days ago, it was stated that The Pans would be the first base and Harbis the second, in the event of defeat. Defence came along in great shape at the proper time, and the retreat on The Pans began in a rout. But the Russians no sooner reached that point and began to get their coffee pots in action than the Japs came down on them in a rush and started them to wards Harbis, 300 miles away. And they had not gone very far towards Harbis when they discovered that the Japs were ahead of them and barred their way. The last retreat was out of reach. The last disastrous battle of a disastrous campaign had been fought. If General Lalwich hopes to have any better success than General Kuropatkin he will have to teach his disheartened troops that forward movement in the proper thing and that retreats and bases of retreat are good things to have if you are afraid to fight and want to fall back all the time and not to advance. As a retreater and possessor of bases of retreat, it is highly probable that General Kuropatkin will occupy a place in military history "all by his lossome." The death of Captain A. T. Wimberly at New Orleans removes from Louisiana Republican politics a force created by the late Senator Hanna which was laid from every point of view and which helped on the demobilization of the party entreaten when Wimberly came on the accue. He was a Mississippi and a Confederate soldier, and had been in his time a Democrat, a Greenbacker, a Democrat again and then a Republican. Hanna himself has highly more because he "delivered the goods" than for any intrinsic worth or merit he possessed. Given a long purse and Louisiana as a field of operations, he could accomplish wonders in the manufacture of delegates to a National convention. The Southern newspapers are much stirred up over the appointment and confirmation of Charles W. Anderson to be Collector of Internal revenue for the second district of New York. They think that the appointment nationalizes the new issue. They are mistaken. That was done by John Caldwell Calhoun and his school of politicians who began the contest to make slavery perpetual in the Republic. When that issue was fairly joined the contest to make slavery perpetual will remain much until the Afro-American Person enjoys all of his constitutional rights in all parts of the Republic. In palliation of lynching it is common for Southerners to assert that Afro-Americans seek to shield their own criminals. This is largely untrue, although the ordinary instinct of humanity would prompt almost any man to move a follow-being, however delayed, from a death so harboring as that by torture and the death that the charge is well well shown is shown by the fact that Mr. H. V. Cushin of Hunaville, Ala., a *d* days ago prosecuted with success in the Alabama court of Afro-American who attempted to assault a girl of his own race. It has been decided to abolish the pillory in the State of Delaware, while the whipping post is allowed to remain, to the diagnee of the State and of the country. The whip and the pillory as instruments for the punishment, of crimes are survivals of a barbarous condition of society and should be done away with. They are not the civilization, like the convict camp and the bloodhead of the Southern penal monastery. The bishops of our parishes should not their fame as a slain. At the spurious degree humain, and 'our religions newmen should do the same thing. Degener is the reward of the punishment. Newmen punished unnecessarily honoured upon people who have achieved nothing and who know nothing, and who will not achieve anything or know anything to the end of the chapter. The Tenth Amendment, proposed by Congress while the war was not flagrant, simply declared that neither slavery nor involucry shall be taken within the United States or in any place subject to National law. The Fourteenth Amendment advanced the Negro to the status of a citizen, but did nothing affirmatively to center the right of suffrage upon him. Negatively, the same was done by laying the penalty of slavery on African Americans. State that should deny or in any way abridge his right to vote at any election for the office of elector for President and Vice-President of the United States, or to be a United States citizen and judicial officer of State, or to the members of the Legislature thereof. The Fifteenth Amendment, now proposed, did not attempt to declare affirms that the Negro should be endowed with the elective franchise, but it did what it wanted. The United States eg. to say States the power to deny or abridge the right to vote in account of race, color or previous condition of arrivals. States that should adopt an educational test or a property tax would be required to majority of Negroes from the polls, but they would at the same time exclude all white men who could not comply with the tests that excluded the Negro. In short, suffrage by the Fifteenth Amendment was impaired, but not necessarily unimproved, as shows above the age of twenty-one years. A DISTRESSING DILEMMA. Somebody Has Played Either the Fool or the Hypocrite. To the Editor of the New York Age: In an article in THE ACK of March 9, under the heading "THE ACK Vindicated" it is inferred that those who favor reduction of representation and the enforcement of the Fourteenth Amendment, and have signed the circular letter thereto attached, have in some way stultified themselves. A closer reading and a clearer interpretation of the first of the Fourteenth Amendment suggested" to my mind. I reproduce this proposition: "First: That the facilities of the Attorney General's office be utilized to uphold the Fifteenth Amendment in connection with cases that may be brought in from the Court testing the constitutionality of the revised constitutions of the South." There is no doubt that some provisions of the revised State constitutions of the United States require the Amendment and they should be put to the test. But at the same time it does not abrogate the effectiveness of the penalty that is the outgrowth of violations of the Constitution. Boston, Mass. March 15, 1905 ISRAEH B. JOHNSON [Mr. James G. Blalgo, who helped enact the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, proves (we quote the passage in another column to-day) that the adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment deprived Congress of the power to reduce the States' representation because of suffrage discriminations based on color. It is, then, a logical absurdity to appeal to both the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments as remedies for disfranchlement. It obviously follows that any person who signed the "circular letter" referred to above and at the same time advocated the reduction of Southern Representation either stultified himself or was insincere. We prefer, for the credit of human nature, to doubt Mr. Johnson's assertion that there was no self-sufficiency on the part of any of the signatures of the circular letter. —Ed. The New York AOE.] Mina Pinchback's Beautiful Gown. We learn that among the most strikingly beautiful gowns at the Imagination Ball in Washington was the one work by Mina Mina R. Pinchback.

A long, cold winter is drawing to the end. As usual, the New York Ace has served to brighten many men made weary by elation. The page of this journal begins of greater and greater historical value as the years of action in the life of the men pass by. During the editor's recent illness, many pepuans woke up his life that might be spared to continue his long and faithful battle for the rest. The representation has not, fairly, before the Nation the position of our leaders, who are unanimely opposed to this panacea for our political elections. The Afro-American Council long ago placed himself on record as a champion of the rights of men to claim who win, and we prefer to walk, unless we can set our just rights. GENTRUDE MOSERI.., Philadelphia, Pa. March 18, 1905. FIGHT "JIM-CROW." Prominent Afro-Americans Urge Whit- ney Bill-Other News MIDDLETON, Conn., March 21. — A hearing was given at Hartford last week by the Legislative committee to the Whitney bill, which aims to prevent discrimination against Afro Americans in this State by proprietors of hotels, barber shops, theatres and other places of public resort. Several of the leading Afro-Americans of the State appeared before the committee and urged the passage of the bill. Wm. J. Harget of Now Haven, the efficient M. W.

The annual conference will assemble at Waterbury this year in the new church, which is fast becoming the lodge, presiding older, will hold the fourth quarterly conference in this city on April 3. There are five colored students at Wesleyan University this year, James N. Welsh, South Carolina, Mr. Thomas of Baltimore, Mr. Taylor of New Haven, and John Smith of Coball, Conn. All are doing well in their studies, and also in the degree. Currently it is reported that a lodge of Colored Elks will soon be instituted at Hardford. The young people are rehearsing for a mock trial on the evening of March 16. The lodge will under the direction of P. H.

Hawley, one of the founders of the Republican party in Connecticut and a valiant party man until the last, died last week at Washington. He entered the army during the Civil War as a volunteer and rose to the rank of Brevet Major General. Upon his displacement in the Senate by ex-Governor Morg. G. Bulkley on March 4, he was restored by the Senate to the rank of Brigadier General on the retired list at full pay. He began the practice of law, but soon entered journalism, and held at the time of his death a commission in the Hartford Courant. He was active before the war in the anti-slavery movement. After a long and stubborn factional fight in the Missouri Legislature over the election of a United States Senator to succeed ex-Senator Cockrell, Major William Warner of Kane City was elected at the last moment in the midst of pandemonium. The citizen of New York city who may be brought with a pistol on his person in subject to a fine of $250 and imprisonment. Pistols and red "hudder" are the cause of most of the crimes, and pretty offence which keep the police and the courts of New York busy. In reviewing Thomas Nelson Page "The Negro: The Southerner's Problem," the New York Independent does justice to the author's literary skill, but regurgit his "carelessness and inaccuracy of statement," his "incomprehableness of information," and his, characteristic Southern bigotry. "The whole fabric of Mr. Page's political and social code," says the Independent, "is based upon the inferiority of the African-American and unchanging order of things." New York's "the claim to race superiority is set forth with greater fervency and passionate outburst than would seem necessary in describing an ordinary and fixed relation of nature." The Independent here expresses common and significant inconsistency in Southern writers. They postulate an axiomate the inferiority of the Afro-American and, then, as if feeling some suspicion as to the soundness of their axiom, assert its position and denounce mildly those who doubt Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s views in The Age of Prof. Smith." The Color Line, convicted the author of appalling for the protection of the "strong" from the "weak" of the "civilized" from the "brutish" How unconstitutionally determined Mr. Page is to prove the Afro-African's inferiority is shown by his mistreatment of Ethiopians and his reliance upon the lowest "authorities" if only they afford aid and abstention to his purpose. The Independent unimposes him: We are told that the crime of rape is well known in the United States and the police report of our large cities and the German states. The United States show the utter hostility of this country to the wide range of authorities by a wide circle of readers he should not inquire into. The highest inquiry, but what can be said of an author of world-wide fame who has the most knowledge of the authorities upon the upper levels of authority, W. Hammond Thomas, whose soul mouths against his race several months will beneath the weight of their own nastiness? Many are the sacrifices which the South exceeds of those who serve it. Mr. Page has had to sacrifice truth and literary conscience to his section. The Voice of the Negro for March is readable from cover to cover. The "Monthly Review" consists of timely discussion of current events, and, though it cannot be said to have any literary merit, is simple and straightforward, in pleasing contrast with its former affected prolixity. An important truth is in no place stated sentiently: "The white man alone is responsible for the fact that the world's race problems have become ethical instead of ethical." "Gupid's Defiance," a sonnet by Henry David Middleton, is marred by incessant and intolerable alliteration. Mrs. Fannie Barrier Williams reviews that overpriced and commonplace book, "The Simple Life" by Plautus Wager. The "Simple Life" article on the History and Use of Parks and Recreation depenant the admission into the magazine of the vene headed "This from Australia," as its sole point in vulgar play on the word "hell." "The Welding of the Link" is unusually well written and grows in interest. John Henry Adams pours out several columns of philippic about Prof. DuBois, but fortunately provides an antidote to the "Rough Sleuth" of the professor, which are by no means fattering to him. Mary Church Terrell, writing in "Service Which Should Be Rendered the South," says that this service consists in freeing the white South from the thirteenth of its prejudice, and vividly portrays the backwaters and Bristol of Dixie white people. Miss Bessie Hopkins, "The Dark Rows of the Fourth Century" is quite interesting and supernatural. She makes the strange boast that the ancient glory of Ethiopia was the beacon light of all advancement now opened to the kingdom. The Voice" and "Who Uses The Voice" seem a bit irrelevant and unimportant. The editorial, "Shall We Materialize the Negro" attempts to set a guilt between higher and industrial education, and characterizes Dr. Washington Philips in speech as "quillanimous." The thousands of people who are waiting for The Voice to explain or explain that slender of Dumbins on the Afro-American press are still waiting in vain. Oscar Wilde, in his proclamation *toussaisons*, "Do Profound," a warning to all young men and women who are waiting their lives in frivolity and idleness. "The gods of given me almost everything," grasps the heart. "I let myself be lured into long spells of loss and somnolence. I amnured myself with being a baute, a dandy, a man of fashion. I surrounded myself with the smaller natives and the smaller minds. * * * I forget that every little action of the common day makes me lord over myself. I cowered to lord over myself. I was no longer the cain of my soul, and did not know it. I allowed pleasure to dominate me. I ended in horrible disgrace." The New York Independent has been moved by a letter of the author of "The Glamman" to make a pertinent insinuation: The Thomas Dixon, in his efforts to give responsible advice to the young men in her greggyman in a letter to the New York Times, "One of the best preachers in Boston, a man of the evangelical Christianity, whose sermons the Transcript print on Monday, was a Ku Kut, and the older brother, B. A. O. Berr, is still unhached, and very popular in Boston." The vagrant laws of North Carolina, then gin, and other Southern States were not enacted to cover white lander and vagrant, but black men, but it is probable that in their enforcement a different result may be had, view of the host that the Federal Supreme Court has declared that the Postage laws are valid and in force.

Northeast National against the New-Crown Day Written in Settlement Work Jimmy Johnson, North M.—On last Wednesday opening the Forum was attended by a large audience of our most representative men and women. The best literary and musical program of the season was rendered. The speaker was Royal I. Melondy, general secretary of the Newark Social Settlement Association, which has been doing institutional work among the various nationalities in the city. Mr. Melondy in his address advanced the introduction of the work among the Afro-American. risky job. college graduates should live with his family in order to learn thoroughly the methods of social settlement work; and should be trained in charge of a large building, provided and maintained by the Association, in some one of the humblest districts of the city. In this building would be taught proper methods in domestic economy, some of the industrial branches and gymnasium. It is also planned to induce employees to open the door to those trained in the institution. These plans are said to have the endorsement of Dr. Booker T. Weathrace. Mr. Maloney's plan, of course, recommended themselves at once to his audience, by many of whom they were discussed. One objection was made, however. It was thought that, according to the plane outlined, white persons would not be admitted to the projected institution, and this discrimination was repugnant to the audience's sense of justice. He also argued that no life would be drawn against persons of any color. He also argued surprise at meeting in the Forum to many Afro-Americans of obvious education and breeding. President Booth explained that the audience consisted of the gentlemen and the gentlewomen of the race, by whom he hoped, white people would more and more judge us. Death of Mrs. Mary E.
