The Colored Column writer of the
Commercial says that the Colored peo-
pie of Louisville are pleased with disrinct
representation in the daily papers. It
is possible that some persons like to be
stuck off in a separate corner but no in
telligent, self respecting Colored person
appreciates anything of the kind. The
"Colored Column" is unnecessary, as
there are more than 200 papers publish
ed in the interest of the race, and they'll
furnish more news than the average
reader cares to see or pay for. The
Commercial has no special column for
our Irish. German, French, Spanish.
Italian, Russian, Hungarian, Polish,
Danish, Norwegian and Bohemian fell
low citizens. Ali Of these nationalities
have their organs containing news of
especial interest to them, but in the
daily papers they are not given distinct
repl esentation. The Colered Column
only serves to emphasize the color line.
Ofall the nations on earth the Colored
race is the only one which has aseparate
department. in the Commercial. The
Colored Column is not published for the
purpose Of beneftting the Colored peo-
pie but in order to show them up to the
world as an inferior class, unworthy Of
the treatment other people receive.
