~ casc of some interest ON the
cglorci question has just bccn de-
cidod at Mobile. It appears that
the conductor Of q street ear ON the
Spring TIT Road, using only such
tore' as was necessary removed %
colorcd woman from q portion OF
the ear set a part for white person
10 that set apart for blacks. The
accommodations in both dopart-
mcnts, were the same, and they were
only separated by n rail about two
feet high. The Mobile Justice mian-
timed the right Of common carriers
To make distinctions between dit
Ierent classes OF passengers, and
held that NJ offence was committed
by the conductor in the psemisos
lh.the support ofthis view hequotes
from the opinion of Judge Acnew.
of the Supreme Court of Pensylya-
ma, rendered ON an appeal from the
verdict Of a jury; where $4,000
damages had been given against n
conductor for cjccting from a train
a colorod woman who refused To
sit IN the plaae assigutdhc Judge
says:
'Who would maintain that either
at an mn or on a vessel, it is a reas.
enable regulations to compel the
passengers, black and white to room
or bed together? If Il right of pri-
vate property implies no right of
control, who shall decide a contest
between passengers for Seats and
why the Creator made ncblack
and the other white is not known.
the fact is apparent and the
races distinct. Conceeding equality

as sacred, put God has made them
lissimilar, and impaired to them
features of character intended to
that they shall not overstep
natural boundaries he has as
to them, The natural law
forbids their intermarraigc,
md the social amalgamation which
cad to a corruption Of races, is
divine. The separation of
he white and black races on the
surface of the globe is a fact equally
apparent. & = s. :
The right OF each to be free from
.ocial contact is as clear as their
light TO be free from intermarriage.
Therefore, we declare q right to
maintain separate relations, as far
rs is reasonably practicable
The opinion Of Judge Giller, in
he United States Court at Balti-
norc, recently rendered, Is to tile
effect. 1t was delivered nj
case wherea negro suied for $4,000

Interior OF a street ear when accor-
