THE NEW STRUGGLE FOR EQUAL.
ITY.

The fact that the colored people OF
this country have made remarkable
strides in the direction of political
and civil equality within the last
twenty years, is undeniable. But
the additional and correlative fact
that much remaius to be done before
the measure of equality is complete,
is equally undeniable.
1t is a singular fact that all over
the country colored men are nomi-
mated, and sometimes elected, to some
of the most important civil stations,
from Governor, Judge and Congress
man to the bottom of the scale; and
vet, if a colored man who has held
one of those important offices, should
apply for situation as salesman in
store, agent, clerk, superintendent, or
conductor for corporation, a place
| in a hotel above steward, a position
as bookkeeper in a manufacturing
establishment, or almost anything
not of mental sort, he is met with
the response, 1--WE do not employ col
ored men," A white boy may go
into hotel Office as bell-boy, and
work himself up to the responsible
position of clerk, partner, or proprie-
tor; but not so with the colored boy.
In every respect he may be as
dilligent, attentive, and capable
as the white boy, but when he reach
es the station of head-waiter, he is at
the top of the ladder. If he would
90 higher, he must 60 elsewhere.
So it is in almost every other branch
of labor. A colored man can so 30
far, but no farther.
Thus we see the struggle for equal
ity has shifted from the political to
the business world. We have been
triumphant in the former, and we
must not fail in the latter. Revolu-
tious rarely ever go backward; and
what we have gained in the political
field is secure. Bulldozing and tissue
balloting may triumph for season,
but it's ascendancy can not be per-
manent. What, then, remains to be
done? We must rightabout face,
and turn our batteries upon the bull
warks of prejudice and social caste,
which ostracize US from the higher
grades of business service. We must
not give up in despair before the bat
tie is fairly begun, and set up a
mournful whine about emigrating to
Africa or any where else. The prob
lem involving the destiny of the
American Negro, is to be solved
right here on American soil
and not thousands of miles
away in Africa, where he is an alien
and stranger. He who would run
away to Africa now, when the battle
for liberty and equality is more than
half won, is indeed a despicable
coward.
How are we to overcome this
social prejudice which excludes us
from business advancement? is the
, problem which we must solve. We
= must not wait for other people to dc
it for us, but we must 60 to work our.
| selves and find the solution. What
: can we do? We must educate our.
selves, and accumulate property
These are the levers that move the
social and business world. The poor
J Jewish peddler is driven out of doors
and has the dogs set on him; but
: when this same Jew becomes rich
and goes to banking, he is raised to

The High School Reunion.

The reunion given by the Virginia
High School at Turner's Hall on
Wednesday evening of this week, was
one of the pleasantest parties of the
season. 1t was solely an invitation
affair, only the friends OF the pupils
of the school being in attendance /;
yet, the hall was crowded 10 its ut
most. Que peculiar feature was that
none of the guests had to put up any
coin. Generally an invitation TO at
tend social means an invitation to
pay the doorkeeper handsome ad-
mittance fee. Let it.be remembered,
to its credit, that the Virginia High
School does not do things by halves.

BRAY EXONERATED.
Ratification in Honor Of the Event
at Dayton.

at ObA t0Hs
The news of the result of the
Grand Jury's investigation of the
charge against Prof. Bray was re-
ceived by his friends in Dayton with
enthusiastic rejoicing. Almost every
body in town turned out that night
to show their respect for the charac
ter of the man who had been UNJUST
ly accused. One hundred and TWEEN
ty guns were fired, and numbers OF,
rockets and firecrackers were let off.
The jubilee was continued until af-
ter midnight, children and all re-
naming up until the last gun was
fred. D
This almost unanimous endorse
ment of the action of the Grand Jury.
shows the high estimation in which
Professor Bray is held by his towns
men, and should remove any raise
impressions which persons at dis
lance may have acquired through
reading accounts of his trouble. The
hearty sympathy of nearly the whole
community of which he has been
member for 50 long, is much better
guarantee of character than the :" ig-
noramus" of any Grand Jury, and is
flattering evidence of the regard in
which he is held.
Mr. Bray might almost feel glad Of
the trial through which he has passed,
since ii has given his fellow citizens
An opportunity of testifying 50 strong
ly to his worth and integrity. The
TIMES sincerely congratulates him,
emitting, however, the customary
wish for many happy returns.

A Funeral Nearly Disappointed.

The body of the Italian, Paul Rag
gio, who was drowned in the Carson
about two weeks ago, was found
near Riley Haughman's ranch last
Tuesday. The funeral took place
from Dayton on Wednesday after
noon; it was attended by large
number of friends aud acquaintan
ces An accident came very nearly
delaying the procession, which, had
it occurred later, would have had
the contrary effect of increasing the
speed at the expense of its dignity.
Before the hearse reached the place
where the body was lying, horse
rushed out of a stable which faced
the road and frightened the team. A
brisk runaway was the consequence,
but by good luck and good driving
the team WAS stopped before much
damage was done, and the driver
was ready to start on time.

Como Items.

Gold Hill. He is now taking out
very rich ore from the bottom of the
shaft where the old owners quit work.
This mine has shown rich ore from
the gTassroots down to the present
depth 20 ft.) The new management
has great faith in the mine, and ex-
pect soon to show the public some
thing that will surprise them. The
rock is being carefully assorted, and

heretofore bestowed on the Eureka.

chinery Of the North Rapidan was
started up on the 9th, and everything
worked smoothly. Sinking will be

scarcely any doubt that in few
months the North RapIdan will more
than fulfill the expectations Of its
owners. The people of Como feel
assured that it is good mine.
Pride of Como.-This mine is sit
uated on the east side of the great
mineral belt. Its course is north and
south. The vein pitches east As de-
grees, and contains a great deal of
magnetic iron. Very high assays Of
gold and silver have been obtained.
The average assay in the south drift
on the 80 foot level is ST. 50. There
is also cross ledge which has given
very high assays.
Sunrise Situated about one mile
south of. Como, contains strong
ledge of mineral bearing quartz,
which looks very promising. The
prospect is very encouraging.
May Day.-They now Rave some
excellent rock on the dump. A con
tract will soon be let for drifting
towards the ledge on the 100:foot
level. 1t is expected that they will
discover very rich ore, as the ore at
twenty feet deep was rich.
Whistling Jack-Situated east of
the Pride Of Como, has shown some
fac rock. Very good assays have
been obtained from it OF late.

Middle-Aged Men.

There are many at the age of thirty to sixty
who are troubled with too frequent cvacua-
tion of the bladder, OF ten accompanied by
slight smarting or burning sensation and
weakening of the system in manner the
patient cannot account for. On examining
the urinary deposits ropy sediment will
often be found, and sometimes small particles
of albumen will appear, or the color will be
of a thin milkish hue, again changing to
dark and torpid appearance. There are many
men who die of this difficulty, ignorant OF
the cause which is the second stage of semi
nal weakness. Dr.. ). will guarantee perfect
cure in all such cases, and healthy restoror-
