Hon. Friedrich Douglass spoke to a

night of the 18th inst. His theme was
"Hayti'' and he replied to all criticism
that had been made concerning him as
related to Hayti and he did it very we'll
and caustically. He not only pronounced
a we'll de- erved eulogy on Haytl and
President Hyppolite but spoke in glow
ing terms of fulsome praise of Presid ent
Harrison and came out boldly for him
for President in 1892. The Grand Old
Man. has lost none of his eloguence and
is as strong mentally today as ever be-
fore. Many Englishmen who were pres
ent at the meeting made speeches and
their feeling showed plainly the esteem
in which Mr.. Douglass is held abroad.
The free all for contest for the consul

The Ohio man is generally out for all he
sees and asks for what is not in view.
He is after the San Domingo place. Mr..
A. L. Beatty of Cincinnati is the new
applicant He is quite promising
young man and in conversation with
him he said that he had the backing Of
the leading politicians of Cincinnati and
Ohio and hoped to secure the indorse-
ment Of Secretary Foster before he re-
turned from Ohio. Mr.. Beatty's father
is the celebrated owbattan Beatty, the
great elocutionist of former years and
without doubt the only Colored man
to study under the renowned James f
Murdoch of "Virginius" fame. Mr.. A..
L. Beatty inh rits some of the genius of
his father and his success in this, his
first endeavor-tos seeure consulate hon
ors, would no doubt be very gratifying
to himself and his Ohio friends.

No Color Line at the Fair.


1t is to be regretted that the Colored
women of Chicago have concluded to
put themselves on record in the follow.
ing disclaimer against the Exposition:
IAN appeal to the representative Negro women
of the United States, urging them to meet at
Washington, D. c.. Oct. 81, 1891, simultaneous
with the Worlds Methodist convention, to take
steps relative to the Negro womens intertst in the
Worlds Columbian Exposition, to be held in Chi
cago in 1893 and to resent the insult hurled at the
women Of race at the last session of the board
of lady managers"
The above quotation is extracted from
a circular issued to the Colored women
of the country and published in full in
many newspapers, Had this step been
been taken by those responsible for it's
circulation after careful inquiry or in
vestigation had been made into the pro-
posed work of the Exposition manage
ment Of all classes, different conclu-
sion would certainly have been reached
1t is also further to be regretted that our
leading women, who have in hand this
protest did not take the time to read
over, at least once, the Act of Congress
creating the Exposition.
