MAY BATTLE ;"

Asbury Park is located in one of the
"loyal' states, to-wit, New Jersey and
is a resort for Northern people, Republi-
can and Democratic. Judging from the
anxiety of certain Northern newspapers
and statesmen concerning the civil rights
posed that the Georgia Ministries stopped
at the Hoffman house, and that no dis
tinction on account of color was made by
the Pullman palace car company in states
north of Mason and Dixon IS line. Disap-
pointed in this, one would feel certain
that, even if Northern hotels and
sleepers did refuse to take the medicine
they insisted upon prescribing for their
Southern contemporaries, in the pure
and purifying waters of Coney, Long
Branch, Cape May, Nantasket, Asbury
and other resorts all men would be free
and equal among people who so siren
uously insisted upon such equality among
other people. Water is a non-cOnduc-
tor and purifier, and if Republcanism
anywhere might practice what it
preached surely it would be amid the
splashing and the splurging of
odorless water. Of all the forms
of contact or association there
could be none less objection
able than that to be found in sporting in
the water that beats upon the beach
But alas for the non existency of North
ern consistency. Not even in Northern
waters is there the freedom and equality
for the black man that is demanded for
him in Southern hotels and cars. An
Associated Press telegram tells the story
of white prejudice at the North:
In former years bathing privileges on the

the beach and the bathing grounds, yesterday |
devised scheme whereby colored people will be
enabled to battle during certain hours of the |
day. He has established branch bathing de-
partment, under the charge of a well-known
colored resident, where the colored people can
procure suits and rooms at a reduced rate be-
tween the hours of and in the morning, which
will be known as commission hours Both

Ballot Reform Marching On.
IhfladeIni,ia Pacnrd

Michigan has fallen into the line of
ballot ferorm, her legislature having
passed on Saturday last a general cleo
ton law which embodies the essential
features of the Australian system. Tick
cts are to be printed by the state, of uni
form size, color and texture. A railing
and gate in front of each polling place,
with gate keeper who shall admit but
one voter at time, are provided for in
the law, and also the construction of
booths in which the voter may prepare
his ballot in secrecy. Governor Luce is
in favor of the bill, and it will doubtless
receive the executive signature The
gradual growth in all the states of the
ballot reform idea is one of the most en-
couraging signs of the times. Although
postponed for time in Pennsylvania, It's
triumph here cannot long be DELAYED
The leaven of honesty is leavening the

TO white jurors. when he might have re-
lected them by peremptory challenge.
It Is not uncommon for white men to
select negro jurors when on trial for
their lives. The reason, as the New
Orleans Picayune points out, is obvious
enough TO those who understand the site
uation. It is that the negro is1ess
under the influence of principleF He
IS more impressionable and open to pa
thetlo personal appeals when il costs
nothing, but gratifes his vanity to
appear in role of public Importance.
de IS more easily approached by the
persuasive influences of a more substan-
tlal nature, and even if there be no
other consideration in sight he realizes
the fact that it is better to play the part
OF benefactor to living man than 10
act as vindicator for one who is dead -
1t Is also worth noting that when negroes
themselves are to be tried they prefer
white jury.
The Picayune puts the case fairly when
1T says that while the law forcing the
negro into the jury box is only part of
deliberate and settled purpose TO hui
initiate the Southern people, like every
effort OF that sort it has resulted in fall
ure, although it has greatly contributed
to degrade and demoralize public senti-
ment in the South. The Picayune con-
tinues:
No legislation can produce a state of equality
among unequal things. In government, IN

morals each individual and each class and race
