Father HarrisOn's Letter.

At regular meeting of St. Peter
Claver's Sodality Messrs. Allen, Ander-
son and Bennett, were elected mem
bers. The society has reason to feel
proud of its members since they are all
able and representative men in St. Paul
Mr.. Anderson's speech was we'll receive
His reference to what Mr.. Loomis calls
the ''charitably extended hand of the
old church" was warmly applaaded by
Mr.. Allen and in fact by all the mem
bers The question of deciding upon
badge was referred to committe of en-
quiry. Mr.. Turner presented beauti-
fully designed badge which can be had
in gold or silver and worn as watch
charm. Upon motion by Mr.. Higman
the Sodality voted to give concert on
discretionary night, April 9TH, at
Cretin Hall. At the instance of Mr..
Henry some little discussion arose con-
corning the nature of the concert and it
was decided at special meeting held
in the Archepiscopal residence to so
change the program of concerts already
held as to make this almost entirely
new. Messrs. Gillard, Hardy, LOOMS,
Talbert, Bloom and Drake, were ap-
pointed as committee to take the mat
ter in charge. am free to say that
those artists who have come to be in
dispensible favorites will be in invited
to take part. The new feature will come
from the very best Twin City talent.
Nor will the entertainers be exclusively
Afro Americans, we believe in encour-
age the same promiscuous gathering on
the stage as will be found in the hall.
The committee on arrangements will be
particular to have all the chairs on hand
SO that if the number present goes be-
yond thousand as before no one will
be obliged TO stand. It is more than
probable that Archbishop Ireland will
be present. From present indications
this will be one of the grandest concerts
ever given in Cretin Hall. -..-.-

An important civil rights decision has
been rendered IN the Federal court in
Texas by Judge Pardee. Certain parties
who mobDed and murdered a prisoner
in custody of United States officers, we're
indicted for con>piring to injure and op-
pose a citizen in the rights secured to
him by the laws and Constitution of the
United States. and while in the prosecu-
ton Of the conspiracy committing MUIR
der. Attorney General Miller says the
decision of Judge Pardee overruling the
motion to quash the indictments, and
declaring that Grand Jury can inves-
tigate and court try under the charges
preferred, is of more than passing in
terest, for the reason that it presents
civil rights in new form. The fact
that it gives rise to the proposition that
the rights Of prisoner should be re-
spected by a mob is itself important.
The decision of Judge Pardee is accepted
as having a decided application to
political outrages in the South. It is
suggested that herein may be found, at
least, partial remedy.

The Lenten Season.

Observance of this period is looked
forward to by many as restful one, and
one in which that recognition only due

ciety life should be Swallowed by obi
cations of such nature.

During the Montana Senatorial con-
test, Senator Vest of Missouri sent let
ter to the Democrats in that state which
contained the following passage: T..
1T only remains for us to have two
contestants here on time, and if we do
nothing else we can show up the
parasitical scoundrelism of Harrison's
conduct in the matter. You know what
I always thought of him. Everybody
now knows the same. I thank God
that he is so mean, constitutionally, that
he will continue to drive away from
him every man of honor and liberality
and good feeling, until the people will
come to the rescue of the Government
from this CONCEALED mass of meanness."
The President has probably offended
the Senator from Missouri by not dis
covering the fact that the latter is con-
gealed mass of greatness, wisdom and
nobility. Such obtueeness, of course,
has driven Vest the vast away rom him,
and when Vest goes every man of hon.
or and liberality and good feeling is
bound to follow. .~., r..

Uttered At PosToFFIcE As sEC0YD-CL IATTEl
SATURDAY, MARCH %, 1890.

There are some white people so thor
oughly imbued with prejudice as to de-
clare, they do not believe their black
brothers are the possessors of souls
We suppose it must be that they come
to this asinine conclusion upon the
hypothesis that because they never saw
black mans soul, nor ever saw any
body that had seen black mans soul,
they don't believe they have them.
Well, the most unfair minded of them
do not doubt that black men have hearts,
even though they never saw one. If
there be any who are in doubt as to the
latter proposition we refer them to the
following excerpt from the Louisville
Courier-Journal:
Raleigh, N. G., March lS.-A decided
sensation has been caused by the ap-
pearance of an old Colored man who
wants to serve out the term of seven
years on the public roads in the place of
Charles f. Cross, the former President
of the State National Bank, Of this city,
who was recently convicted of forgery
and embezzlement. The old man was
at one time the faithful and trusted
family servant of Mr.. Cross father and
the subsequent cratic bank President
had almost literally grown up under his
charge. The old man was persistent in
his demands to be allowed to take his
young masters place, but as there is no
law in North Carolina which will allow
him to do so, the generous hearted old
fellow will have to relinquish his noble
sacrifice
How ma ny white men are there who
would for one moment ever think of
making such an unselfish proposal. This
same unselfish devotion, which seems
to be characteristic of Colored people,
has been noted before; and, the author
of"Held by the Enemy" weaves it in
the plot of his play in so striking man
ner that it never fails to bring down the
house wherever the play is presented.
A people who are the possessors of such
Christ-Iike characteristic must be pos
SCISSOR of other qualities that should Sc
cure for them better treatment at the
hands of the brothers for whom they
offer to die.

Once IN a while-a great while-one
finds Southern Journal brave enough
and unprejudiced enough to tell the
truth in respect to the Colsred man.
We give sample of such truth from
such paper. The Chattanooga, Tenn,
Times says: 1.-THE notion that education
will unfit the Negro for his duties as an
employe of the white man is not borne
out by the facts of history, not even by
the facts of the history of the Negro in
America. The most intelligent among
them as slaves and freemen, have been
the best workers, the most efficient, the
most honest. AS they have advanced
in knowledge in less than 20 years they
have done more and more work, for
themselves and their white employers,
from year to year. They are worth ten
times as much as a laboring force to-day
as they were in 1870; they are great
deal nearer being self-supporting, they
show more thrift, more business ca
pacity; better social sense, as they be-
come more intelligent. The census re-
turns, assessment rolls, ard title records
in almost every county in the South
demonstrates the truth of what we
assert" The above are all fully demon
strated propositions, and they are con-
tradicted, generally, only by those who
are themselves destitute of the very
good qualities which they deny to the
Colored man, and shining examples OF
the very vices they attribute to him.
