The new constitution of Kentucky recently
ratified by the people of that State contains
some good features, notable among which
is the abolition OF viua Uoce voting, a system
which was abolished in every other Sta to
long ago, and the substitution of the Aus
tralian ballot. The provisions regarding
taxation and railroads are, however, not so
good; indeed the new constitution as a

SOCIAL EQUALITY"

At Weldon Tuesday of last week
colored walters from the Ponce de
Leon Hotel, st. Augustine, Fla,
were given seats at the regular
dining tables in the Atlantic Coast
Line hotel. White people were
mixed up with the negroes, and
for this breach Of AnglO-Saxon
rights, the Roanoke NeaCs of last
Eeek laid some severe structures
upon the management of the Coast
Line affairs. And we endorse every
word our neighbor said; and if 1t
were possible to put it stronger we
would take pleasure in endorsing
anything he would say about the
matter.
The truth ls, it was an outrage up>
On common decency and the per-
petrators of this glarlng insult up
On the people of Weldon especially
and the public generally, are just
" condemned for it.
Neither the South nor the North
is ready for such wholesale social
equality as this. The colored peo-
pie themselves do not deslse it, and
would not have it if they could.
The distinction of race that has
been observed since the first contact
between these two races must and
will continue to be observed, and
this distinction must be observed
in public places as we'll DIS in pri-
vate. Indeed, there is greater ne>
cesslty for 1t at a public place like
a hotel; for guests there have no
control over the circumstances.
whereas a man in his own home
has right to exercise his own
choice
Such thing can not longer be
tolerated. The entire country will
condemn it, and the persons who
are responsible for it are not en-
titled to the slightest respect by
| either the white or colored race OF
this country.
Elsewhere we print from the
Richmond Dispatch an explanation
which we give to our readers fol
what it is worth to Mr.. Emerson
and his defense fo- his conduct
With Us, it is worth very little.
There was absolutely no excuse fol
it under any consideration.

FOLKLORE AND FOLK.CURE,

Some of the scientiest who make 9
speciality Of folk lore haYe lately been
making inquiries about the malady which
the country people called spring fever
1t is malady, through disagreeable
than serious. Yet it should be taken
note of. While the scientist are inquir-
ing about the tone of the malady, those
who are suffering the lasitude, nervous
ness and melancholia, that are it's symp,
toms, should run the disease out of their
systems by means of of that more subtle
scientist and folk curest-S. S. S. This
is particularly necessary, since spring
fever leaves the system in such a condi
ton that it succumbs readily to diseases
that are mere dangerous and less easily
controlled. 5. S. s. is preventive a:
well as remedy.

Richmond Dispatch 12th.}

Major r. M. Sully, superintendent
of the Richmond division OF the
Atlantantic- Cosst Line, and the
only official OF that system in the
city yesterday, was seen at his OIL
fee IN the Byrd-Street station By a
Dispatch reporter and asked how 1t
came about that number Of negroes
were allowed in the railroad dining
roon-at Weldon last Tuesday night
and given seats at the same tables
with white people.
The matter had evidently been
brought to the attention OF Major
Sully before and be gave bis expla"
nation promptly. He said:
"The management Of the Ponce
de Leon Hotel, St. Augustine, when
they engage their help for the win ter
always contract to take them to
Florida and bring them back to New
York.
"These people, nearly all of whom
are negroes, are carried on specials,
the company having plainly intimat r
ed to the hotel folks that it does
not care to carry SO many negroes
in the first class coaches on the reg
ular trains.
"On the day in question this
particular special was expected to
arrive at an hour when no other train
and consequently no other passen'
gers would be at the depot. A telI,
egram was sent ahead to have the
meal read, upon the arrival of the
party.
lowing to the heavy travel on
the road the special train was delay
ed several hours, and when 1t did
arrive the negroes without stopping
pressed into the dinnlng-room and
took seats at the tables. The man
ager was at loss what to do, hay
ing received orders to feed them,
MIR. Emerson was in New
York Tuesday morning, and the Idea
that he in any way fayors social
equality in hotels or elsewhere does
him an justice, as will be readily
understood by anyone acquainted
with him. All orders given were
| with view that the train would be
at the depot while no others were
there, and the affair was entirely &C.
cidental.
"A year or so ago there was some
complaint because our company had
table III each dinnlng-room off by
itself, at which the Pullman porters
| were fed. AS soon as we learned
there was any objection we a. once
put a stop to the arrangement.
"1 tell you positively that Mr.
Emerson no more wants negroes tt

GOVERNOR FOWLE.

Governor Fowle died on Tues
day night, April 9th.
The intelligence of his death
reached us only in time for US to
make the announcement of his
death in last Issue.
He was born in Washington, N.
c., March 3rd, 1881, and was there
fore a little more than 80 years old.
For years he has been prominent in
North Carolina politics, and every
body IN the state knows who Cove
nor F0Wle was and how he looked.
He was educated at Princeton Coli
lega, y. J., and was we'll known all
over North Carolina is scholarl Y
Judge, an able advocate, q wise
counselor, aud heightened chris
tlan gentleman.
His oratorical ability and noble
service rendered the people of the
state in numerous campaigns won
for him years ago the distinction OF
E'tbe silyer-t0ng ued orator"
When he was nominated for
Governor in the Democratic State
Convention IN 1888, we remember
his fine appearance as he was con
Quoted into that great body of free
men who greeted him with deafen
inc applause. And we remember
too, his mastery speech on that oc
casion. We remember also hi!
great speech at Halifax during the
following campaign. His tribute
to North Carolina was touch.ngly
gland. Strong men brushed away
the tears from their eyes as they
listened to the eloquent encomiums
which he poured out upon this
grand old commonwealth which he
and they loved with a common
tenderness.
These were the only speeches We
ever heard from him except a snor
speech at the Rocky Mount fair il
the fall of 1889.
Our personal acquaintance will
Governor FOwle was never intimate
but as far as it extended it was ex
ceedingly pleasant. Added to the
commendable qualities that wen
to make up a well-rounded gentle
man, he was fine conversational
list.
His home life was said to be
beautiful and affectionate in every
thing that could engage the sympa
thies Of a husband and father. Ant
after all, this is the true index to
mans character. In the HON,
where you see the man in his slip
pers and gown, where the alternat
ing annoyances of home respon
sibilites and the pleasures of hOm
associations play upon the chord
of heart and temper, is the place t.
learn what the man really an
truly is. And nowhere was Cove
nor Fowle a truer and grander MAJ
than III the bosom of his own family
lie was we'll beloved by his owl
family and the friends who kne1
him best. He was honored by tn
people Of his state by the highes
