In Twenty Years

To the citizen of the Old World who
is observant on his travels in the United
States, this is country where develop.
ment is marvelously rapid. In Europe,
family, town or a city, which cannot
trace it's history back more than two
hundred and fifty years is as hard to be
found as black swan. Old towns have
grown, but new ones have not been
founded. Sixty millions more of people
are here than hundred and fifty years
ago. But if the development of hun.
ured or two hundred years seems won.
derful to the European what shall we
say of the material progress of the last 20
years? A single illus ration is enough
Twenty years ago, this week, Chicago
suffered an unparelled loss by fire. The
business district was destroyed and thou.
sands of people left shelterless in the
streets. What is Chicago now? The
second city of the United States. What
were the States West of the Mississippi
twenty years ago? What they are now
can beet be ascertained by taking trip
over the Burlington system of roads,
which reaches all important places in
ten Wee ern and Northern States. For

Sashes will be worn with gowns this
winter, large velvet ones especially on
WOODEN dress IS will be very pretty.
BY the fall fashions nearly all the
tailor dresses for general wear have two
substantial pockets, one on each side.
Pond lily is the latest tint in cream
white, felt, cloth and cash mere, and the

The white silk sailor is one of the pref
test hats shown for many seasons,
whether untrimmed or sporting white
cocks feather in a puff of white velvet.
The skirt seem to be growing longer
and real trains are seen in the street.
Flatness is the effect desired, and where
drapery is used it is done with this
point in view. "a.
The real novelties and. elegancies in
dress trimmings are in the direction of.
different kinds of open and solid en-
broidery, and the magnificent cloak gar
niture in fur and feathers.
The skirts of many new gowns are
without foundation skirt. They are
fitted plainly at the top, are full and long
at the back, and are lined throughout.
The French skirt all in one piece, with
a bias seam down the back, is most often
seen.

One of the funny things connected
with the Jim-Crow carsystem is the rush
it sometimes creates. For instance a
train traverses Texas decorated with the
signs "For Negroes" For Whites"
AS it approaches the Indian Territory
line, the porters begin taking down the
signs and the whites begin getting close
to the Colored car. The instant the line
is crossed, the whites who have been
standing up rush into the Colored car
and the Colored brother has to relin-
Quish his claim to whole seat much to
his disgust.

The Jim Grow Car Must Go.

The Minnesota Civil Rights C mmit.
tee this week sent out several hundreds
of lis address in pamphlet form, and in
various other ways is endeavoring 10
bring the public up to proper conce o.
ton OF the Importance of it's undertaking
and the earnestness of it's members in
the work before them. Letters have
been received from various parts Of the
country containing substantial encour-
agement. Rev. J. M. Henderson writes
from Detroit, stating that he will en-
deavor to raise something for the fund.-
Messrs. A. F. Hilyer and S. A. McFar-
land have been empowered by the Com
mittee to solicit funds in Washington,
D. c., and write very encouragingly of
their prospects. Negotiations are under
way tending toward the holding of a
monster mass meeting at an early date
which will be addressed by several gen
tlemen of national reputation. work
of The magnitude and Importance of that
in which the Committee is engaged
must of necessity, move slowly, but it is
moving right along, and ultimate success
is beyond the question of doubt.
A capias has been issued by the
United States District Court of the lis
trict of Tennessee in the case of Samuel
E. Hardy plaintiff vs.. the E. Tenn, Va.
& Ga Ry. Co. The plaintiffs damage is
laid at $4,000. Lawyer McGhee states
that the complaint has been filed during
the past week. From this it can be seen
that the committee is moving right
along, snd loosing no time in it's effort
to test the validity Of the un.American
Separate Car Acts.

all other professional speakers do. To
get salary for services Is the rule.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1891.

The Troy, N. Y, correspondent of the
Boston Courant says:
."Harry Winthrop, a Colored barber of
this city, who for the last three years or
more has been keeping a mixed barber
shop, declares that he no longer intends
to shave Colored men in his shop. This
is drawing the color line very strong by
one wLo is an Afro-American. So much
interest has been aroused in the matter
that the John M. LaDgston Atro-Ameri-
can Club has appointed a committee to
wait on Mr.. Winthrop to ascertain the
cause Of his action, and if it was on &C.
count of color that he excluded Colored
men from shaving in his shop. We
hope the gentleman in question will 20
slow and consider we'll what he is doing
before it is too late"
If there is one thing, which more than
any another, is an obstacle in the way of
the Afro-Americans receiving civil
rights it is the operating of barber shops
by Afro-Americansi in which Afro-Amer-
lean customers are not wante d and will
not be waited upon if they happen in
such shops. And strange to say some of
the loudest-mouthed advocates of civil
rights are men who operate such shops.
Does anybody suppose that civil rights
will be accorded by the Anglo-Saxon
when We do not accord them to our
brothers?

The recent Democratic convention Of
New York passed the following resolu-
ton:
"Resolved, That this convention views
with qualification the growing friendly
feeling toward the Democratic party of
our Colored fellow-citizens in this State,
and they are welcomed to our ranks with
the assurance that within our purity dis
elimination on account Of race or color
is discountenanced."
To make the assurance douply sure,
some facts might have been added to
show that the Jim.Crow car laws of
Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana. M:ssissip pi
and Tennessee, were enacted by Repub-
licans and that the Mississippi constitu-
ton was formed by the same party.
