al Conference of Colored Men, which con-
vehes here tomorrow, promises to be one
of unusual and lively interest. The Illi-
nois, Indiana, New Jersey, Rhode Islaad

the neglect of the local committee to Sc
cure suitable hall. The apathy of the

delegation will present their credentials
and demand recognition, and if not ac-
corded seats they will make a vigorous
protest. The objects of the confer
ence, as stated by G. S. Smith, of
Bloomfield, ILL.,, are to secure to the
colored people Nerth and South the recog-
milton under the laws to which they are
entitled. The questions prepared for dis
cusslon are: 'The necessity and value
OF the organization; our grievances, their
nature and remedy" and ssour political
status" An effort, it is said, will be
made to Introduce politics into the con-
ference, but Mr.. Smith says that the ma
jOrity will be able to eonflne the move
ment to the objects for which the confer
ence is called. About 100 delegates will
be present.

accept a reduction. The operators have
threatened to import Hungarians and

Only a few years ago the legislature
Of the State passed a law to prohibit
the sale of Intoxicating liquors in a
town that has in it college or uni
versity. This law was enacted in the
moral interests Of the young men who
attend these institutions of learning.
1t was done that the temptation to
drink and acquire intemperate habits
should not be part of the education
acquired at our colleges and universi-
ties. Now, if it is necessary and prop
er land we believe it is), to prevent
the traffic in intoxicants in towns and
cities as above, is it not equally nee
essary to prohibit the traffic in cities
and towns that have no colleges or
universities in them? And is it not
equally necessary to prohibit the trffic
as beverage everywhere else?
