COLORED CAR DRIVERS TO
SUPERSEDE STRIKERS.

Mr.. III. Price Williams Of this
CITY has received an order from the
officers of the Belt line of Street
Railroad Co. i'm New York to secure
few hundred laborers to be em-
ployed as car drivers and stable
men In the service of the said com
pany. The cause of this order is
Oh account of the strike of the car
drivers and stable men lately in
the employ of the Belt line company
and the management proposes to
supply their places with new men.
It is understood that the new men
TO supply the places of the strikers
will be culored men. They are to
go at once and enter upon their
work. This step will naturally
arouse the animosity of the strikers
and according TO past experience
"A row will be planned to stop the
new men from going to work.
The fact of their being colored
will not abate the opposition OF
the strikers. GA the other hand
their color may intensity the bit
ternesS against those who are tC
take their places.
We believe that labor has rights
which capital is bound to respect
and cab sA mpathlze with all classes
of working men who are STRIVING
10 receive IA fair days wages for q
tair days work. In doing SO it Is
their right to refuse to contract
to work for less than fair wages
liz is also the right of the coloreC
men who are TO SuperStde the
strikers TO contract for wages
which they may consider as fall
and proceed To work.
But we would not have it tha
the colored man can always be ac
counted upon as ''cheap laborers
like the Chinaman to under wOrl
the white laborers of this country
1t would be preferred if our col
ored working men would upholt
the dignity and value of labor TIN
same as the whites, especially sine
they have been admitted into tel
lowslip with the labor organiza
tiOns of the country.
The Washington bee., 1886-09-04

excellence so high that though it
it forever recedes they may forever
pursue.
The colored man is no wors-
than the white man. Indeed,
when we compare hlm with pesti.
lential surroundings out of which
he has recently come, he has made
greater progress than his white
brother similarly situated. And
yet it is potent fact that entirely
too many eolored people have legal
business before Judge Harper in
the Police Court. 1t is here that
the prejudiced chronicler extracts
the warp and woof of the materi-
al out of which gaugrene OF
public sentimens is woven against
the colored man. We must not
aim to be as good but to be better
than the white man, if We hope
to be rated as even tolerable C I'll
Zens.

The four ministers that have been
appointed TO the LIberian Mission
were J. Milton Turner, Jno. II.
Smythe, Rev. Henry Highland Gar
net aud Moses Il. Hopkins.
The first two named gentlemen
served eight years with credit to
the government and are now liv-
ing in good health and circnmstan-
ces and esteem Ol their fellow
countrymen. Revs. Garnet and
Hopkins served the diplomatic
service hut few months each,
havii G So cumbed to the inevitable
and dreaded African fever.
1t is the scourge ofmalarial tevers
in Liberia which makes the office
of American minister to Liberia
to "go begging as but few citizens
here care to risk the attack OF fev-
els which so often prove fatal TO
the unacclimated. So that as be-
tween the official dignity anu
salary proffered in the one hand ana
the death bed on the other the
majority of patriots willing to
serve their country for a "good
round sum- cast their wisttul eyes
TO some more favored cline.
The government is at present
represented in Liberia by the vice
consul. No one seems to know who
the lucky or umlucky successor to
Mr.. Hopkins will be. The Wash.
ington Sunday Capital says Rev.
E. f. Smith OF \. G. will probably
succeed the late minister.
But the President is away troll
lug for trout in The mountain
streams and lakes of New York and
the vacancy will not be filled until
after his return to the White House.

There are many reforms needed

We believe that our trustees will

ty years since Mr.. Douglass visited
Great Britain. 1t was tnen he
went on a mission in behalf Of his
suffering and euslaved race in
America to secu e the sympathy
of England in the abolition mo, e.
ment of that period. Du,irg that
visit he electrified the English,
Scotch and Irish pc ,ple with the
power of his etoquence in his
championship of freedoms caue
He there cemented friendship,
which has never b, en- broken aud
in many cases correspondence has
been continued until now.
He returns now to join in the
reunion of his many friends and
acquaintances, in the 10th year OF
his age aud i'll the full vigor Of
his manhood, crowned with homo
rable distinction He does not 90

All this the young colored vo er
has read of aud acts as a III, ans of
enlightenment and basis for
judgment and afh iation. He finds
that toe sentiment of both arties
is about the same, as regards the
colored people. 1t savors Of an ac-
acknowledgement on their part, of
certain rights which, under prof.
table condition, they would will
ingly protect; but that the c,lored
voter must shift tor him self, make
his own terms, exercise his own
intelligent discrimination aud seek
such combinations as will promote
the welfare of the colortd people.
The young voter understands that
he is the ward of no party, the
TOOL OF none, but that he has been
told, aud fully appl eciates the ia t,
that he must be man, to act as
other good and CONSCIENTIOUS m.n,

are sought as other men seek
them anu withheld for the same
reasons that they are withheld
from other men. Taking up the
