whose votes made you Represent
ative.
l can readily understand how
you might have demonstrated
such a spirit in Georgia but it is
certainly surprise to me how you
could find the courage to inflict
such an outrage upon the people
of the National Capital and of the
nation at large.
1t must be remembered that
over three numbered thousand
brave and loyal soldiers, whose
bones are Wondering in your
Southern sod, sacrificed their lives
that the negro might be free and
citizen endowed with his civil
and political rights, whilst the
nation spent hundreds OF millions
in the same cause.
Abraham Lincoln was martyr
in this cause, Charles Sumner en-
dangered his life to declare that
the Save oligarchy must die.
Ulysses S. GIANT the nations
greatest soldier, said, in the South
where | am they can come. 1t is
not strange then that in the face of
all this, and after such signal
victory over a lost cause, that
Southern representative would
dare to to revive these unfortunate
recOllections and may not ask,
must the war be fought over again ?
1t is unfortunate, Mr.. Grimes,
tina: you and others of your Sec
ton take advantages of their
representative positions to force
the hotel keepers of Washington to
submit to barbarous discrlmina-
ton toward such a large class of
your fellow citizens.
I am glad, however, that there
are gentlemen IN the South who |
do not accept or condone these
outrages against our race, scores
of whom [ could name, if neces-
sary.
The South is my home, it is
the home Of my wife, it is the
home of my children, and 1 hope
sir, that in the near future the I,
better element of her white citi.
zens will take control of her pub
lie affairs and purge from her
good name the foul reputation |
made so obnoxious and shameful |
to christian civilization by such !
prejudices as evinced by you at
the Riggs House on Monday
evening.
Hoping that under The new
code of rules of the House Of
Representatives your reformation
will be brought about before the
close of the session, and that you
will return to Georgia, wiser
and better man, [ have to re-
main yours, respectfully

Hon. Thomas J. Grimes,
WaShinotnn n G

Washington, D. c., Feb. II, 1890.
Hon. Thomas J. Grimes
Washington, D. c.,
Sir: | was surprised to learn
thr Oh the public press that you
took exceptions at my right to
dine with my friend, Mr.. Natha-
MEL Mckay, of New York, at the
Riggs House on Monday evening,
making the occasion the subject of
a disagreeable newspaper cOtro-
versy at an inoppOrtune time,
when this distastefnl subject is
being agitated both in the Senate
and House of Representatives., as
we'll as by the national convention
of representative cOlOred men, to
the disgrace Of the South.
While l would impress upon you
the fact that there is no DISPOSE
ton on my part nor on the part
of any self-respecting cOlOred man
to force social equality, yet we do
demand as citizens of the nation
the right of accommodation in all
of the public institutions of the
country especially when our be-
haviOr is in keeping with polite,
gentlemanly manners.
In this instance your behavior
was extraordinary, not alone that it
was unbecoming a national Rep
resentative, but you were infring-
ing upon my right as the guest OF
a gentleman your equal III every
particular, and at hotel where [
have been accommodated more
than once; and besides, Mr..
Mckay and myself were already
seated when you entered, leaving
you the choice of a seat at any
other table, where you might not
have become contaminated by the
color phObia.
You must have been governed
by one of two motives, either as a
personal insult to me or refec-
ton upon my race on account OF
color. If the former, you were
cowardly and ungentlemanly to
take such a mean and despicble
advantage so much in keeping
with the lawless element of your
section. If the latter, then you
are not worthy of the place you
hold in Congress, as the Repre-
sentative of all the people Of your
state, without regard to race, color,
or previous condition, and should
vacate it at once.
Coming as you do from Georgia,
it must be presumed that you were
elected by white aud colOred
constituency, either legally or
traudulently obtained. In either
case you are bonorably bound to
stand by the Constitution, which
guarantees to every citizen his
civil and political rights. Under
such circumstances what sad pic.
ture it is to see you upon the floor
of the National Congress, evinciDg
such a malignant spirit toward a
portion of your fellow-citizen

MINCE PIE RECIPES.
HOW THEY MAKE 1T IN YANKEE-LAND
AND Also IN OLD IRELAND.

AND ALSO IN OLD IRELAND.
The following is recipe for mince pie
mixture, made after the fashion of the
DANES of old New England: Get six
pounds of juicy beef, boil and chop fine.
1t must be borne in mind that the meat
in boiling loses about half its weight, so
for three pounds after it is chopped fine
and cleared of gristle double the guam
THY must be boiled, the liquor making
good stock. Chop fine two pounds of
beef suet, six pounds of tart apples,
peeled and cored, seed two pounds of
raisins and wash thoroughly two pounds
of currants, cut one-half pound of citrOn
i'm thin strips and mix all these ingredi-
ents together with one tablespoonful of
salt, ground cloves, allsPice and CHINA =
mon each one ounce, and mace and nut
meg each one-half ounce. Put three
quarts of cider over the fire with three
pounds of G sugar; skim and pour boiling
hot through a fine strainer over the
mixed material, add one large cup of
New Orleans molasses and the juice and
grated rind of one lemon. Stir well and
pack in alright jars.
And here is an Irish recipe, which,
however, is not for dyspcptics: Keep a
beef's tongue in water four or five days;
boil till tender, when cold chop fine, add
two pounds of finely chopped suet, two
pounds of raisins, two pounds ofcurrents,
twelve large apples minced fine, four
pounds of sugar, the juice and pulp of
two large oranges and The grated rind
of one; cupful of raspberry or straw
berry jam, three fourths of a pound of
citron shaved fine, one cupful of ounce
preserves, two tablespoonful OF CHINA
mon and one of nutmeg. Mix the mince-
meet with the strip from the sweet
pickle jar, and the juice and grated rind
of four lemons. -Philadelphia Record.
