The performance of 40" last evening
at the Opera House was not as we'll pat
ronized as it deserved, but if our show
going people had only known the true
merits of this superb troupe, the house
would mostly surely have been crowded, as
1t is the best company of its class that has
visited Cairo for many seasons. Miss Mary
Ulmer, as Carrots, was charming and
could not have done better, and +. Tame
hill, the "Forty Miner" played his role
to perfection. Mr.. Geo. Ames, in his rep
resentstiOn Of the lawyer" fully sustained
his part. Mr.. Grandin, as the "total wreck, 4"
acted as though he had really been there"
in fact the whole troupe were fully up in
their parts, and the performance close on
delighted and most highly pleased audi.
dence, ShouldMiss Lizzie Timer with her
company ever pay Cairo another visit, We
can assure the pretty and natural little
actress she will be greeted with crowded
house.
Minneapolis Tribune; The states do
not protect, nor pretend, nor attempt to
protect, all classes of citizens IN the enjoy.
ment of their rights. With the civil rights
act stricken down, the colored citizens of
many states will be, with the counivance
and consent of those states, deprived Of
rights, the withholding of which from white
l. n north or south would and should create
instruction and bloody resistance. The
above is a sample of the twaddIe printed IN
some northern Republican journals, This
same Minneapolis Tribune has been for
years declaring that the rights of the negro
are utterly ignored and STRICKEN down" in
the southern states. The civil rights act
has been on the statute book for eight years
and has been an absolute dead letter. In
der it the tribune has repeatedly declared
the negro has had no rights; how is he 90.
ing to deprived of what the Tribune says
he never possessed by the supreme court
decision that the civil rights act is uncor-
stitutional and voidl The fact is, every
person of ordinary intelligence knows that
the invalidation of the civil rights act has
not altered the status Of the American ne
gro particle. There is not state in the
Union which deprves the negro of his
rights as citizen. No state has under
taken to legislate the negro into hotels,
parlor and sleeping cars, barber shops and
the private residences of white citizens, and
the absence of such legislation is Endorsed
by the supreme court, which declares that
the attempt to so legsate is extra-constitu-
tionsl and Unconstitutional
