ington, D. c., Peoples Adeocate speaks
of Col. Joseph T. Wilson as being "a

However, if the wound received by
editor Elan should cause his death,
the question which interests the gene
raj public is: Will the people of Vir-
ginia hold Beirne on the charge of
homicide, or will they allow him to
60 unpunished under that absurd
and antiquated custom which allows
one man to kill another to repair
his injured "honor" ?-Plain Dealer,
Detroit.
Public opinion in Virginia sustains
duelling. If Mr.. Elan should die
from the effects of the wound, no jury
that could be obtained would do other
wise than find an escape hole for Mr..
Beirne. Read our leader in to-days

A CuR1os1TY.-Ope colored man is
democrat in Ohio, and the party keeps
him in glass case to exhibit at State
conventions for the good of the cause.
He is fully insured, his cuStodianS are

there is crisis, and he is fed on choco-

You are precisely correct, and you
just set Idown on it, that the terrible
racket that is being made by the faith

He LIEs.-A certain white politi-
clan, enjoying the big salary of an
office in this city, hints that gift of
check for ten dollars would make The
ColOred World, or any other colOred
paper, urge any policy he demanded.
AS far as The World is concerned, he
lies. God knows we are poor, but our
souls are our own. No man owns us,
no man shall own us. When the time
comes for us to prostitute our paper to
the use of lot of political panderers,
The Colored World will look around
for IA soft place on which to die.
This man claims to have been
beaten out of money by col0red
politicians, and he boasts of money do
mated by him to colored men and their
enterprises, and he intimate5 that all
ColOred men are plrchaSable. There
are two classes of colored men who
possibly are ready to be bought. First,
lot Of sChemers, rather intelligent,
loud-mouthed, and quick enough to see
points and depraved enough to 'strike"
for everything in sight. The second
class are the intensely ignorant who
care only for the present. and whose
brains are in their stOmachs. Now,
The Colored World and majority of
readers belong to neither of these
classes, and the man who thinks they
do makes a pyramidal mistake. We
sell cur advertising columns, but our
principles and manhood are not in the
market.-Indj0napoNS World
