INERADiCABLE

VINO was permitted tne Otnct udy- w
day lawyer in suit against Hugh Il
McC loskey for refusal to let another {
negro drink soda water at his coun-
;er. The Court was Barney Lynch's,
The same that lived here before the
war and not the only carrien that this
place spewed into New Orleans dur
ing those troubles. The Republican
publishes the speech of it's sable
friend whom it designates with a
military title and with the middle
name in full and only the initial let
ter of the first, like some white fools,
thus: General T. Morris Chester
The darkey has been partially educa-
ted. but he has not abandoned the
habit of lying, one of the character
istics of his race. We give speci-,
men of his efforts in that line. He
had said, what was doubtless true
enough, that he had travelled in Eu-
rope and had been admitted in any
hotel, rail car or theater he chose to
90. and added, s'but, on the contrary,
black as am, of which I am justly
proud, I enjoyed many social privi-
Ieges and distinctions which thou
sands of Americans, popularity called
white, have long desired, but died
without the experience. | have sat
at the imperial table in the Winter
Palace, at St. Petersburg, in company
with the Emperor Of all the Russias,
many of the imperial family and a
noble and brilliant staff; l have been
received at the throne of England on
the occasion of a royal reception, and
with all the self-respect and manhood
inspired by such illustrious associa,
tions, I could not, if this outrage is
sustained by you, in this city obtain
glass of soda water, if l was dying
of thirst" 4.,.... ...u..
The fellow hardly supposed his
newspaper was to give currency to his
stupendous lie Everybody knows
that in Europe, our prejudice'
against association with negroes doe
:, not exist. They not only do not ex
list but Europeans neither under
8 stand nor respect them. Any mon
arch would receive negro ambassa
dor from Hayti as readily as whit
-, one from the United States. The.
have received them. When John I
Mason was Minister at Paris and tn
diplomatic Body was received as usu
nj on New Year, Mr.. Mason's neigh
Dor pointed to the Haytien ambasss
:, dor, a coal black negro, and aske
- what he thought of him. l think b

- But travelling negroes like Morr
are not ambassadors and in EuroI
. have no more privileges than whit
. people. 1t is only in this countl
that they claim and sometimes ha'
accorded them superior privileges
the whites. A white man, witho1
- some special distinction, cannot 0
tain presentation to royalty so easil
- and Americans particularly since Il
war are not encouraged in their
!. forts in that direction, because Il
class of Americans that travel in h
-, rope since the war are in the ma
vulgar people, shoddies, who ma
. wealth by the war but who cannot

INV intelligent. A dinner in the Pala
at St. Petersburg or an entree to t
Queens drawing room at Bucklr
ham Palace is not that kind OF pr
lege that is promiscuously shower
~ upon visitors to European capita
" whether white or black. The vice

- There appears to be a concerted
ton among the negroes and tn
~ white allies just now to enforce tn
- doctrine of equality. These
- tempts to share places of public
~ sort promiscuously are made wit
-. purpose, and they will continue tc
W made until an incensed commun
repels the audacity by the only tn
nj that will effectually repress it,
lez when that is done, we shall have
