/ The Senate Committee on Labor and
/ Education are beginning TO think that
| they have undertaken much bigger Job
| than they had any idea of when they be-
| gan the investigation in which they are
| now engaged. They have taken the testi-
mOny of milliOnaires and cranks, business
men and laboring men newspaper men and
about all other classes of men, and they
have enough stuff now to make half
dozen volumes that will never be read by
this or any other generation. They are
not. however, satisfied. They still de-
mand more testimony. 1t is even said
that they will sit after Congress meets,
and hear all corners. In fact, the Chair
man has sent out a circular to all the
newspapers of the country for pubica-
ton, in which a general invitation is eX-
tended to everybody TO come forward and
testify or to write out their ideas on labor
and education, and send their manuscripts
to the committee at Washington. We
cannot, of course, publish the entire cir
cular, but we will oblige the committee to
the extent Of publishing one sentence of
| it. The following is the sentence, and it
/ gives a pretty full idea what the commit
tee want:
| We would specially invite facts as TO
| the numbers of people who have homes of
| their own and description thereof, extent
| Of liens. if any, and other membranes
upOn houses and lands, with rates of in
Eerest and rents and taxes paid which
constitute an annual charge upon the in
comes and wages OF those who own or oc-
cupy them; the amount of wages earned
IN all forms of labor, steadiness Of employ
ment. and frequency of payment of wages,
and i'm what payment is made, and OF
gross and net incomes, with fun particu-
lars Of retail cost and quality of shelter,
food. clothing. and all necessaries of life,

collection OftaXation and public burdens
of all kinds among the people, hours of Ia

and provisions for the protection Of health
and life in all places Of abode and labor,
/ including routes of transportation BY

and apnealed the case To the Supreme
Court of the state. A few days ago the
supreme Court affirmed the decision Of
the lower court. Wimberly. who was
on bond, appeared in the Memphis
court last Saturday TO accept the
sentence. which was a fine of $50
and sixty days in Jail. Mr.. Galloway

The civil RirIts Act.

The decision OF the United States SUI
preme Court, rendered yesterday i'm the
civil rights cases, a full synopsis OF
which will be found in our dispatches
this morning, is one of the most i'm
portaDt decisions that the court has
rendered for long time. 1t
will be read with deep interest through
out the country, and will call forth
various comments. The decision is, in
effect, that Congress had no right to pass
those sections of act Of March l, 1910,
better known as the civil rights act,
which provide that all persons shall have
full and equal advantages, accommoda-
tons. privileges. etc, in hotels, public
conveyances. and places Of public
amusement without regard to race,
color OF previous condition Of
servitude, and that they are, therefore,
unconstitutional and void. There were
haIf-dozen or more cases considered in.
the decision. They all embraced the. same
point, aud we're, therefore, all considered
t35getner. In all of them, of course,
the compliments were negroes who
had been denied accommodations
in hotels, theatres or public cOnveyances.
The defense in all of them was that the
law on which the actions were based was
unconstitutional. This civil rights law
has been the occasion of "a great deal Of
trouble, and promises to be the occasion
of great deal more. The negroes had
only Just begun to force themselves into
hotels and theatres where their
presence was not acceptable. There
has not been lately any objection to their
enjoyment of the privileges of public con-
veyances. The negroes will never secure
such legislation again, no matter what
party may come into power. The privl-
leges which they will enjoy in the future,
beyond what they now enjoy, will depend
upon the progress they make in every
| thing which goes to make up
a higher civilization. They need
| expect nothing more in the way of legis-
| latiOn. Race legislation is thing of the
| past. The decision was very nearly
unanimous. Judge Harlan alone dis
scented. His idea seemed to be, i'm the few
words he uttered, that the provisions OF
the act in question should be sustained
because they embodied the purpose Of the
people Of the country. He did not seem
| to consider that the constitution stood in
the way of that purpose.

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1883-01-26

We clip the following from series of
articles furnished us by d. NJ. Richardson,
Of Detroit:
The Navy of this country. since the close
of the late war; has been permitted to waste
away until it is hardly worthy of the name
it bears, when compared with that of Eng
land and other European States. 1t is true
that thus far We have escaped all harm from
foreign or domestic foes, but is it safe or
wise to rely wholly upon our past good for
tune for our security in the future? War
may be very remote, yet it may be very near.
Prudence would seem TO dictate, now that
we have largely recovered from the desola-
tons and burdens of taxation occasioned 10y
the late war, and while the country is pros
perous and our revenues are ample, that we
should put ourselves in condition To meet
any emergency that may be likely to arise.
In view OF our extended coasts on the At
Iantic. Pacific and the Gulf aud our foreign
interests and the foreign commerce we now
have. and what we may hope to recover by
wise and comprehensive legislation, it would
seem to be only common prudence and wise
foresight To provide Navy adequate TO sue
cessfully resist the combined attack of any
forces that are likely TO be concentrated
AGAINST MS. To do less than this would seem
TO be an act of supineness too hazardous and
too perilous to contemplate.
