in the way of our progress toward civil
rights. We suggest that the bill be a.

Not A Chestnut.

The Observation-Disclosures tho star of
empire takes it's way" is somewhat old,
but while once it was prophecy only, it
is now an accomplished fact. That por-
ton of our country lying between the
Alleg henies on the east ahd the Rocky
Mountains on the west, contains the
forces which control the nation. The
majority of the population is there, and
there also is the preponderence of poll
tical power. There is the granary of the
nation, and there will at no distant day
be not only the greatest assemblage of
manufactures, but there will also be
the head of financial influence. These
things are coming, as witness the rest
ing of the Worlds Fair of 1893. away
from the East by Chicago, and the phe.
nomenal growth in every element of
power, shown by St. Louis, Kansas City,
st. Joseph, Omaha, Denver, St. Paul
and Minneapolis. These centers of in

is different in the most infnitesmal de-
gree to that which white man would
receive under similar circumstances,
they are woefully ignorant. We know
ourselves, as men, to be their equals in
every respect, and we would advise
them that when they wish to fix a
standard to judge US by in any case, to
take themselves. What would not suit
them would not suit us. Set up any
kind of barrier before us and the other
side of that barrier is just the place we
wish to go. Remove all barriers on ac-

we will find our level. According to
orthodox doctrine, no one wishes to 20

obstacles in the pathways leading there,
we will be found trying to climb over
them. We don't want our right to 90 to

not and we will not be satisfied when
any right affecting out lives, liberty and

A semblance of justice and equity is
sometimes accorded to Colored people in
the Courts of the South as the following
will prove. Mrs. Alice Davis is the wife
of Colored attorney of Washington, D.
c., she is also the daughter, by Colored
woman, of Mr.. Strange, deceased, a
well-to-do and respectable white citizen
of Lynchburg, Va. Mrs. Davis however
was treated as one of the family by Mr..
and Mrs. Strange. The father sent her
to Washington, where she received q
liberal education and qualified herself as
teacher, which calling she pursued for
several years. The father always prom
ised he would literally provide for the
girl and his wife upon her death bed,
make him pledge her to do so. The
father gave his daughter Alice some
property in Washington and $4,000
worth of real estate in Virginia.
When another married daughter
found this out she and her husband
worked on Mr.. Strange until he finally
persuaded Alice to reconvey the prop
erty. She did it with reluctance. The
father gave the daughter $3.50, and a
week later he died. Alice was not provi-
ded for in the will. The deed Of recon-
yeyance is set aside by the Supreme
Court because. of undue influence.
