The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1883-08-18
Newspaper Honor.

[Col. G. A. Perces Address at Fort Wayne
A short time ago discussion arose
in Chicago as to the relative duties of
lawyers and newspapers, and the fol-
lowing query occurred to me: What
would be said of any respectable jour-
nal that should take fee for trying 10
make black appear white, that should
undertake the defence of "A murderer,
for instance? Not secretly, and while
pretending to be impartial-that, Of
course, would be intensely hypocriti>
cal and dishonorable-but openly and
VIGOROUSLY. The accused party
would say, for instance,"I want de.
Tenders. l will hire Lawyer such a
one and the newspaper So.and~so."
What an cutlery would go up, and
yet what is it that makes such an act
highly dishonorable on the part of a
newspaper, and perfectly permissible
and proper on the part of an attorney?
Is newspaper honor held too high, or
is legal honor held too low2 l believe
the time will come when lawyers
duties will be confined to seeing that
murderers and highway robbers have
fair and just trial according to law,
and when no amount of money will be
allowed to convert them into paid
culogists Of dangerous men.
The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1883-08-18

At the recent colored convention
in Omaha, the orator of the occasion,
a well-to.do and fairly educated negro,
uttered in the course of his speech an
improvement on the old maxim by
declaring that" the want of money
was the root of all evil" He applied
it especially to his own race, and de-
duced from it the cause of the lack
of prosperity, personal and general,
of his people. He argued that" books
learning" was not the real need of
the colored man, because education
with the colored man did not serve a
means of acquiring wealth. Their
poverty, he said, was the cause of
their degradation, owing to race pref.
udices; although there were many
able lawyers, doctors, ministers and
editors among the black people, they
cannot accomplish financial profes.
sional success; their sphere seemed
to be regarded as limited to the bar
Der, waiter and coachman business.
The colored lawyers and doctors, he
reasoned, were greater failures than
even the colored ministers the peo-
pie of their own race are too poor to
employ them, and the white people
prefer their own color; they are nc
better than educated idlers. He
pursued his views and announced as
plain fact that the future of his
race did not rest in colleges /; that the
problem could alone be solved and
the end attained by the negro adapt
ing himself to practical and skilled
labor that he must be a mechanic
But even in the attaining of trades,
the negro is met with serious opposi
tons; hence the speaker advocated
the erection by contributions of al
industrial school in some congenial
State or territory, where the youne
colOred men and women could b,
taught industrial arts, and fitted Il
trades.
The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1883-08-18

A sensational dispatch from Rufus
Hatch's hotel at Yellowstone Park
says that.one object of the presidents
trip was in the interest of American
annexation of British Columbia. The
statement says the scheme is being
worked up at home and abroad, and
that the powers of the Canadian and
Northern Pacific are straining every
nerve for such result. The scheme
is already under cabinet discussion.
A private conference on the subject
will be held before the president re-
turns East.
The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1883-08-18

Commissioner McWhirter is live,
pushing, energetic officer, and is do
ing good workin the cause of immigra-
tiun to this state. He has just starte
ed new scheme, which will, we hope,
result in boom for the whole south.
He has called on the commissioners
of the other southern states to meet
him in Louisville on the 10th of Oc-
tober, for the purpose of counseling
together about the tide of immigra-
ton flowing to the United States and
devising means to turn the current
into our southern ports. He wishes
to enlist the great southern railroads
in the work, and he feels that success
will he secured. We trust he may
be successful in his undertaking.
