A CURRENT item declares that the owner of
the now famous trotter Jay-Eye-See has re-
fused an offer of 500, 900 for The animal, hold
ing him to be worth not less than 500, 000
No horse, from Pegasus to the veriest plug

what his qualities for speed may be- A hun

interest on it at 4 per cent is $4,000
per annum. This would support
family of ten from now until the day of

promises to trot a mile in 2:10, and even
better in the near future; but were he to

ager. AT the close of the performance that
gentleman went upon the stage and an
nounced the joyful tidings that white peo-
pie were no longer in danger Of being con-
taminated by association or contact with
members of the colored race in theaters
railroad trains or hotels. AS related by the
local chronicler:
THE audience instantly grasped the full
purport of the announcement and burst
into such thunder of applause as was never
before heard within the walls of the opera
house This was no sooner subsidized than it
was repeated and prolonged with even greater
JUNCTION. The people smiled at each other
with beaming faces, and congratulations
were exchanged all through the audience.
1t was welcome news to every one, excepting
only the dusky occupants of the coored gal
leries. These were silent and evidently
smitten with dumfounded CONSERVATION.
Not a note of applause came from those
solemn rows OF benches, and their occupants
evidently believed that the decision meant
the total abrogation of the chief blessings
that are involved in the facts of their eman-
cipation and citizenship"
Luckily for the occupants of 'colored gal
leries," the decision does not mean loss of
all their legal rights, but there is no reason
to doubt that the applauding part of that
audience would be glad if it were otherwise

THE First National Bank of Chicago has
inaugurated plan that will probably be-
come common soon. 1t has issued an order
that all clerks must give security bond in
sums ranging from ST. 900 to $4,000 1t is
expected that the bulk of these bonds will
be furnished by the Guarantee Company Of
North America, which makes speciality of
such business, charging therefor premium
of one per cent. In the aggregate the amount
thus paid will be quite considerable, the
bonds required by this one bank only being
$500, OO0 necessitating the payment of So, 900
annually in premiums. Thus the good have
to pay for the shortcomings of the evil, and
the burden of thefts is put upon the inno-
cent. But capital is memorable, and will
probably insist OH this new rule.

A TOWN has been found that has the nerve
10 pronounce against the Jesse James dra-
matte company. The city council of Rock
ford, ILL.,, has requested the management of
the opera-house to refuse to open its doors to
the performance. 1t is evil in its influence
from beginning to end, and should be driven
from existence. No government can afford 10

cious upon the youth of the land, about whom
there are too many evil influences already.

A LAWYERS GRIEF

1t is diverting spectacle to see Colonel
Ingersoll bewailing the decision of the Su-
preme Court on the civil-rights law. He
thinks it should have been allowed to stand,
since it was clearly the intention of the four
teenth amendment to guarantee colored peo-
pie every right enjoyed by the white race in
hotels, theaters and railway cars. Nobody
more than Ingersoll would be quick to take
advantage of technicality of law favorable
to his client, yet in this instance
he urges that common sense should
override the constitution. There are times
when it is exasperating that technical objec-
tons are allowed to defeat the manifest pur-
poses of law. But since it is established that
the law must be interpreted as it reads moth
ing remains but to abide by it, and fit be OBJ
jectionable let it be amended. 1t is to be
was not written properly but the court
could do nothing else than it did. There
is little cause for alarm, however,
since if the proprietors and managers
of public places of amusement and accom-
mediation and public carriers do not treat
the colored man fairly such sentiment of
condemnation will be raised that new
amendment will be easily passed. Thus far
there has been little trouble. The good sense
of all concerned has made the races har-
monious, and this good feeling will doubt
less still prevail. 1t is useless to denounce
the Supreme Court The result should be
accepted philosophically and the best made of
it. Colonel Ingersoll is undoubtedly sincere
in his professions of friendship for the col
ored race, and his good sense is creditable to
him. But ne is in error when he states, or
intimates that by this decision the govern
ment discriminates in favor of white men.
This is not true. A hotel-keeper who could
refuse accommodations to a colored man, has
as much right to make the same refusal to
white man. Both races stand exactly alike
before the law, and the colored man can hold
public carriers or inn-keepers to the same re-
sponsibiity that white man can.

1t has often been mystery how the Nor
mon missionaries can so extensively impose
upon the public in nearly all the countries
of Europe The arguments they use are ex-
clusively those that appeal to the poor
and ignorant. According to the story of a
Swedish girl who was converted to Mormon
ism but relapsed when she got to New York,
the Mormon Bible played the least important
part in the inducements held up to her. She
was fed with visions Of worldly paradise.
She was told that the Utah weather was al
ways pleasant that the population was COM
posed exclusively of rich men, many of
whom were unmarried and wanted wives,
and that, finally, one man in particular was
waiting to marry her and to shelter her in
palace and to put at her command dozen
carriages.

JUDGE FORAKER, of Ohio, in a recent
speech, gave utterance to common sense
views of the civil-rights act before the Su-
preme Court made known its decision. He
declared
1.-THE cvil-rights bill does not confer upon
the colored man a single legal right which he
does not already possess For every color ed
man in this country has already the full legal
right to sleep and eat in any hotel in the
land, ride upon any common carriage, at
tend any public school, in short, do and en-
joy any and all things that any other Ameri-
can citizen, as such, can enjoy. Here in the
North he enjoys these rights. The civil
rights bill does not, therefore, affect US here"

loved Ella and could never think of living with
out her. He got two friends to steal her out of
the house one night and roust out preacher.
When it came to the point, however, Charley
weakened before the awful contamination, and
said he didn't believe he'd marry for month or
SO. The fellows who had puroned the girl were
too smart to get married themselves, and not
being willing to shoulder the RESPONSE
bility of their share of the fun,
quietly covered the recalcitrant bridegroom
with their revolvers, when he went through the
ceremony as cheerfully as men generally do
nowadays The old folks at home pocketed
what little aversion they may have had for the

see that the whole scheme was prearranged on

on Ella,

THE willy widow is abroad in the land this sea-
son in great force, but the one with talent for
sacred music is the one who is doing the great
est execution, The latest victim reported is
Rev. Matthew Newkirk, one of the most prOmi-
nent Presbyterian ministers of Philadelphia,
where he has had charge of church for ten
years. The widow in the case is singer in the
choir, beautiful, of course, and of hitherto M
blemshed reputation. A mutual fondness for
each others society gradually developed itself
between the fair singer and her pastor. Very
likely she needed spiritual consolation and piOus
advice to sustain her in her loneliness, and who
so capable of giving it as her minster9 How
ever this may have been, watchful members of
the flock thought the lady was monopoizng too
much of the shepherds attention in
view of the fact that he had a large
flock of lambs to look after, to say nothing of a
wife and four children. 1t does not appear that
anything more than indiscreet conduct has been
proved, but the scandal has grown to such pro-
portions that the officers of the church have de-
cided that it cannot be silenced by the pastors
denial OF anything worse than imprudenoe, and
have intimated willingness to accept his resg-
nation. Great sympathy for the pastor is ex-
pressed by the brethren over this impairment

and that the widow alone is guilty. When Rev.
NewKirk takes charge of anC.her fold he will
heed the advice of the wise man, and "bevare of
yldders,"

A PHILADELPHIA woman dragged her meek

and wanted something done to him because he
only earned ten dollars week for the support
of himself and sixteen children. He turned over
every cent of the money to her, the wife admit
ted, but 1t wasn't enough, and she wanted him
punished. The society couldn't do anything TO
relieve the complainant, and sent the couple

did not know who, and left the matter till an
other society could be formed to ameliorate the
