CO OPERATION OF BORROWERS TO

Ten per cent a month on small
loans is the excessive rate Of in
terest paid by some government
employees and other nard.up il
dividuals. 1t was stated in the
Star, a few weeks ago that an Or
ganization was contemplated
among these money borrowers in
order to obtain better rates. Such
an organization has been formed
and it is composed mainly of
those in the government service.
The purpose to use the words of
the constitution, sis 20 protect
our members who are compelled to
borrow money from time to time
and to keep them out of the hands
of the 10 per cent brokers and to
negotiate loans for them at the
smallest possible percentage I" 1t
is further proved that 1.-The Or
ganization shall CONSIST, of not
more than 500 members Memb Der
shall not be charged more tnan
3 per cent a month on any mon
eys loaned to or borrowed through
said organization, and no one
shall borrow at any one time more
than $3.50. The president and
and secretary shall not approve
any members note for more
than the above named amount.
Any member borrowing through
the organization aud failing to
honor his note without Lawful!

position assumed in this was
utterly unterable and give sub
stantlal reasons for the seeming
disparity between the two races
in this matter We now learn
from a prominent gentleman who
was present when these remarks
to which We have referred. were
made by Col. Ransdell, that the
report as Published did this gentle
man greatinjustice, that it failed to
give all that he said on that Occa-
sion and the connection in which
he said it.
In accounting fora large num-
ber of persons, in the Police court
charged with petty offences, he
said that in his judgment it was
highly probable that portion of
the Police force in order to make
a record for efficiency arrested
colored men for trivial offences for
which they would not think Of ar
resting white men. We gladly
make this correction for it is
not our purpose to misrepresent
any one, in this, or any other
matter.
Our purpose is merely to tell
the truth. In the matter of
bringing colorei people before
the Police court it is a well
known fact that the Judge of
that court has more than once
lectured over officious policemen
for grossly discriminating against
colored people in making arrests.

MARSHAL RANSDELL.

In our last issue we published
a statement taken from city pa
per, to the effect that this gentle
man bad said that out of every
ten persons who apps ared in the
Police court of this city charged
with crime nine of them were
colored.
The impression conveyed by
this statement was that nine
tenths of the crimes committed
in the District of Columbia, were
chargable to tie colored people.
We showed in an editorial OF
considerable length that the
