One Of the Sunday papers-wbich vainly seeks,
by the constant production and iteration of foolish
and impairment fables Of personal character, to
impel us to notice it by way Of contradiction
Philadelphia correspondent Of like spirit with its
conductor. One Of bis latest achievements 10 tho
following
There is prejudice existing here aud in New
York-s prejudice that always must exist-against
color The editor Of TIE TRIBUNE may pronounce
such prS%dcs wrong and an
"a fixed institution-and must be respected. White
children cannot be induced to associate with negroes
and if we force cOlOred children into the public schools
we force white children out Sensible people differ
from the editor Of THI TRIBUNE. They are not so
deeply devoted to the African race as to do wrong to
the Caucasian
TO which rigmarole We thus respond:
]. THE TRIBUNE makes no objection 10 separate
schools for ColOred Children, though it would OBJ
ject to driving Colored children from tho Common
Schools where separate schools not provided for
them.
2. White children can be "induced to associate
with negroes" as Is seen almost daily 10 our Park
and in other places to which children Of diverse
celOrs resort for recreation-as also on Southern
plantations generally. The prejudice Of color is
acquired or imbibed, not natural and instructive.
3. THE TRIBUNE regards the education of each
as essential to the welfare Of ALL and that to leave
any class in ignorance is to edo wrong to the eau
casan" and every other race.
4. We do not choose Black people for ntimates,
but we have sat with them for months on the same
bench in New. England Common School thirty
odd years ago, and not one white child OF tho nifty
or sixty belonging to the District was driven out
or in any manner repealed or offended BY the
presence of these Blacks, which continued through
at least half dozen years.
8. Though We have low opinion Of the Negro
Race, we regard the Whites who seek distinction
or otice through the aggravation and diffusion Of
the prejudice based on color a. immeasuraby
meaner than average negroes.

We publish this morning communication from
Mr.. Robert w. Lowber, tho gentleman who has
taken the city in execution, and who, in his eager
ness to place himself erect before the public not
content with getting himself knocked down the
other evening in the Chamber of the Common
Council, must needs, in the same adventurous
spirit, push himself into our columns.
The communication which we publish to-day,
purports to supply that part of the chronological
history of the transaction" which we had called
for, to wit: How it happened that Mr.. Lowber had
this piece of property to sell to the city
We cannot say that the explanation thus at.
tempted by Mr.. Lowber is very clear or satisfac.

devise to his great-grandson Nicholas William
Stuyvesant. Yet, in spite Of this pretended title
by inheritance, traced back for two hundred years
or more, Mr.. Lowber proceeds to represent this
same Nicholas William Stuyvesant as having, on
the 18th Of March, 1910, obtained from the Mayor
and CopmcDalty grant Of 80 portion" Of this
ve,y property, with all their rights to the wharf.
",ee and waters in front thereof" subject to an
annual qutrent; but what portion of this property
which is rather material matkr-he does not
state.
At the time of the grant to Governor Stuyvesant
and down to very recent period, the markets site
which Mr.. Lowber has sold to the City for some
5000 COO and for which be now has US in execution,

grant to Governor Stuyvesant conveyed nothing
but uulapd,. Is is conclusivey enough proved BY
the grant of whsrfsge and waters in front there
Of" obtained by the younger Stuyvesant in 1910,
and that being q mere grant Of wharfage and

which does not appear, certainly gave no right to

Office, and the other continuing that injunction

the Judge regards as having done nothing except

that, by restoring the books and papers to 1" the

relieved Of any punishment except the payment Of
costs, but that otherwise an attachment viii DO
