COlOred Passengers on Northern
Central Railroad Trains.

We have frequent complaints from gentle.
men residing on the line of the Northern Cen.
trail Railroad that their colored servants coming
to and from the city are compelled to take
seats in the smoking cars. We suggested that
they probably took them from habit or timidity.
but were assured that such was not the case
but that they were ordered upon approaching
the train by the conductors Ito the smoking
car. The smoking ear is q very pleasant place
for those who smoke, but not one in which any
one should be compelled to sit who does not
smoke The law, however, as now clearly de
fined and understood everywhere, allows Of no
distinction being made, and if any is attempted
we assure those sggrieved that it is only neces-
sary to insist upon their rights to obtain them
The above, taken from the Baltimore Amer
iean of the 18th instant, shows the outrageous
manner in which the above named company
allows portion of lite passengers to be treated
when business or other engagements necessi-
tatss their passing over the road. The recent
court decisions that ell railroad companies
are common carriers" and are bound to
provide equal accommodations, for all pa.
irons, is entirely ignored by this company.
The Amsrssan's representation of the matter

is in the niildest language. and the complaints
it speaks of are the least of our grievances
for none but these that have travelled over this
line can form any adequate idea how the col
ored people are treated. when obliged to pass
up or down on these trains. And as to the
accomm edations Of the Western Maryland
branch of this road for our people. they are
u ext to nothing. Should the Editor of the
NEw NATIONAL Era, or any other of oar dis
tingnished colored men, want to pass up on q
Western Maryland train, you would be q or
dered' to a car that is but little better than
a hog car, both in appearance and in fact
Let me explain. The car that all colored per-
sons must occupy on this branch road is the
ordinary size. but only part of it is intended
for passengers, il being partitioned of, and the
greater portion is used for baggage and milk
can purposes, the rest of it for the accommoda-
ton OF colored people and smokers.
You can rest assured that this audacious
outrage ON our people will never he corrected
until this company is brought into court and
made to do right. w. +. I.

A New FIEw.--The magnitude Of the Indian
question, says the Times, twill bs better under
stood by slight consideration of the figures
furnished in the report of the Secretary OF
the Interior, than by pages ofvague defamation
We fad that over ninety-six millions of acres
of the soil of the United States are occupied
as reservations by 1920 Indians. Ia other
words, a population exceeded in number by
that of the Seventeenth and Nineteenth wards
Of New York occupy ali area of land rather
larger than that OF the States of New York
and Pennsylvania, with the area of the six
New England States added. We do not
expect that the Indians will ever be brought
within a space relatively so small as that
occupied by the eleven and half millions OF
people occupying the eight States referred to-
But it will be- generally agreed that one Indian
cannot be permitted forever to occupy space
more than sufficient for six ty-sx civilized men.
An allotment of 55S acres a head is mora
than wecan afford to grant the red man at the
present rate OF our increase of population
Sentimental reasons, based upon first oc-
cupancy and SO forth, are well enough in their
way, but are apt 10 lead US into very gross alb
sardities. The policy Of bringing all our
quarter OF q million of indians within the
limits of a single Territory, where there il
room enough for them ALL will more imperatiyely
demand enforcement every year. Those ninety
SIX millions of aeres Of reservations may not
be exactly wasted at present, but with tie
growing wants of new settlers they will very
shortly bsso.

The Prince Of Waies-The
Regency.

The death Of the Prince of Wales at this time
would change materially the immediate pros
poets Of the British throne, as his next heir his
elder sou, Albert Victor, is less than eight wears
old. The rumOrs that the Queen is falling 10
health and that she has desired TO abdicate have
been repeated so frequently during the past five
years that we cannot suppose that she will oc-
cuPy the Arons many years longer. If she dies
or retires before the SON Of Albert Edward be-
comes OF age, regency will, of course, be
neeessary-sapposag the present illness of the
Prince to rssuit iu death. The choice of Regent
would be between the brosher of the present
heir apparent, Fictora's second son. and the
Duke Of Cambridge.
If Albert Edward had but one son his broth
er Alfred could not be legally made Regent, as
he would be the next heir, after the young
King, whom he would represent. The Prince
of Wales has two sons. however, and his broth.
er would be eligible as Regent. Alfred is now
twenty-seven years old, having been born Au
gust, 6, 1874. He is a captain of the ROYAL
Marines, and enjoys the following titles: Duke
of Edinburgh Duke of Saxony, Count of Ulster
aud Kent. Prince George Frederic William
Charles, Duke OF Cambridge. Count of Tippera-
~, and Baron Culloden, is Field Marshal and
Commander in-Chief of the British army. He
is still in the prime of life about fifty-two years
OF age, born March 26, 1919. He is a cousin
Of Queen Victoria, who is of nearly the same
age, and it is probable, on account of his
greater experience, that he would be appointed
Regent rather than Alfred. lie is not a popu
lar man, it is true but young Alfred has not
held an enviable position in the affections of
the English people since his visit to Australia
and India.
Ii is possible, of course, if the Prince Of
Wales dies. that the Queen may retain her
throne until the young heir becomes of age
She has by no means reached old age, and may
retain her faculties and energy many years
longer.
In the estimates of Albert Edwards charac-
ter, which would follow an announcement of his
death, due regard, we fear, would not be paid to
the fact that in England, as in this country,
men occupying important public positions are
considered fair targets for the shafts Of scandal
Many OF the reports which have been published
In this country concerning tile life aud habits
OF the Prince have been the result of political
bitterness, there being many persons ip Eag-
land who can fnd no good in anything or any
body connected with the throne or the aristos-
racy.--N. r. Evening Post,

and does exist, 90 was entertained by the
Patricians towardSthe Plebeisns, and at one
time the proud Norman towards the Anglo
Saxon, and the Anglo Saxon towards the Cell

This prejudice against caste will, | apPre
bend, always exist fer, rs Pope says. Some
one must be greater than the rest" This
10 true of men In each race. But, In the ab
sence Of slavery, in no government. civilized

There 10 no prejudice against color in many
countries whore slavery does exist and has ex-
listed, such a. Great Britain, France, aad Por-
tugsl. The Italian States, in Turkey. Brazil,
and Prussia, where slavery does exist, there is
no such thing Is prejudice. The United
States Of America presents q paradox in the
history of nations. She not only ID prejadiced
against colored persons when slaves. bat when
free. Again: In 40 country can you find
prejudice where there arc no laws making and
creating invidious distinctions. Proseriptive
laws engsnder and keep alive this unnatural,
brainless prejaeiee. Aud here lie presented an
anomaly in thg Government of the United
States, especially in New Jersey. She disre-
CARDS all law, And obstinately refuses to accord
to colored persons equal rights and privileges
under the Constitution. But here is fact as
strong as proof from Holy Writ: No white
person who employs another white person as
servant bat what entertains the same feeling
towards them IS they do towards colored
person. The appointments to Office on the
same jary with them would be equally as OBJ
jectionsble.
Now, after ell has been said, what better
is the white man than the negro! What made
him better! The negro is a man. the white
man Is no more than a man. In the light of
history and science, Of philosophy, and our
own personal observation and experience, the
idea is absurd that prejudice exist against
color. The only way of Kidding yourselves of
this aversion or prejudice is to live 1t down.
Meet it in the same way you do all other ques
tiOns. Treat these persons as you would
in all the other relations in which you are
brought in contact with them as American CHI.
zens practically exemplify the great funda-
mental principles of liberty and equality upon
which your Government is based. Then will
you present to the world the grandest and most
sublime spectacle the world has ever seen-a
nation Of freemen in deed and unity.
Yours for the right,

Last spring, when the new Congress assem-
hled and when. We thought Gov. Alcorn should
have resigned his position - Governor OF the
State and take bis seat In the Senate, but did
not. the Legislature hastily ordered new cleo
ton TO GIL Gov. Alcorn's seat Mt. Revels
presented himself - candidate for reelection,
and obtained more Republican votes than any
of his half dosen opponents--the Governor
among them. Bat the Democrats, thinking
they had their man in the Governor, united
with . minority Of the Republican members
md cast majority Of votes for him.
/ am, oftentimes, surprised at the strange
criticisms, to say the least that are passed upon
Senator Revels BY . few Of our leading men Of
other States. They seem to have forgotten
that he Was sent to the Senate by white - well
- black Republicans and, because be often
refused ~ identity himself Ia many oasea with
peculiarly black mans party. or claim, they
thought him reoreant to the true interests Of
his race. remember distinctly case which
shows how groundess and extravaganza tn csc
charges are. He was requested by bis leading
constituents to give ell his Influence towards
getting . subsidy from Congress in favor Of
railroad that was, 10 pass through Louisiana
and this State the probabilities of his success
we're very greet. when one or two of our leading
colored men called on him aud requested him to
attach to this bill, another, which would secure
grants of land for the freedmen, not only of
thf6 State, but of other Southern States also,
giving as their reason that the bill he was sd.
vocating was popular, and il the land bill was
attached to it he might succeed in getting both
projects through. But Mr.. Revels very properly
declined to jeopardise his railroad bill by at
tachng to it the land bill, as in that particular
case he was not laboring particularly for his
race alone, but for the benefit OF his State and
because OF this refusal he was spoken of as be-
ing Indifferent TO the success OF the freedmen.
The sooner the colored people of the nation
cease to look upon themselves as peculiarly set
apart from the other elements of our citizens.
the better it will be for all classes If we wish
to be recognized simply as American citizens,
we must cease setting up ourselves as colored
citizens. 10 too many cases the line of demar.
cation is drawn by ourselves. But let US blot
it out of our churches. let US blot it out of our
schools, let US blot it oat of our public places
and common carriers, and then we shall be
taking long stride forward. ClvIs.
