Is Sunday Conviction and Sentence
With tho Authority OF tho Law?
NORFOLK, Va, July .3-TSpeciall-
George Mcintosh has sued outa writ of
habeas corpus in behalf of client who
was sentenced to a term in jail, the
writ being to test the legality of the
prisoners convictionh, having been
convicted and committed on Sunday.
The point will be made that Sunday
is not legal day and that the act Of
tho Justice who tried and convicted the
prisoner on that day was illegal and
that any judicial act performed on Sun
day is without authority of the law
The case will probably be heard by
Judge Brooke next Monday. The qucs-
ton at issue is an interesting one, us it
involves the legality of the Sunday
sessions of the police court which are
held evory Sunday in this city.

Unusual Enterprise.

The Monday hotel edition of TIE
ROANOKE TIMES is ono of the finest evil
dences of enterprise that has been ex-
hibited in Virginia within our know
ledge. We are no. surprised to learn
that it is largely the work of James A.
Pugh. the worthy president of the Vir-
GINA Press Association. The beauty
of Mr.. Pugh's effort is that it not only
advertises the city of Roanoke, but tho
entire section of Southwest Virginia.
THE TIMES Is the leading paper of the
mineral belt of the two Virginias. Ifyou
want to keep posted on the development
of this secti' you cannot afford to be
without it.

The statement of the city comptroller to
the Board of Public Works as to the con-
dition of the water fund is serviceable but
contains no surprise. The Board has been
compelled by the demands of citizens to
extend the system beyond the original
intention. and the cost is a gain to the city.
A plentiful supply of wholesome water
Is so essential to health and comfort that
nobody viii begrudge the expense, pro-
vided the money be economically spent.
There is no suggestion that this
is not the case. A vast amount
of work has been accomplished, the only
additional outlay incurred beyond the esti-
mate being the result of the eight-hour
law, which has added Is per cent. to the
price of labor. This, however, is dispo-
sition of the money which can be justified
by the highest principles of economy. 1t
has put few thousand dollars more into
the pockets of men who were not too well
paid, and good money has been put into
general circulation.
Still more money is needed to extend the
water service; but it will be an excellent
investment

There can be little doubt that Mayor
Clapp. Of Memphis, Tenn, considered that
he had reached the climax. not only of ora
tory but of polite hospitality, in the re-
marks with which he greeted President
Harrison last Friday. Though somewhat
lacking in originality. there was no room
for criticism of his declaration that This
Is restored. harmonious and indestructi-
bic union" Restored and indestructible
Il certainly is, and fairly harmonious. In
the latter respect there might be improve
ment if Mayor Clapp were more nearly of
one mind with him whom he addressed on
the subject alluded to in his next following
remarks.
In dealing with the greatest problem
that has ever confronted our people" said
this grandiioquent Mayor. cit is our inten-
ton to be just and law-ahiding, while at
the same time, with the instinct which
pervsdes our race. the paramount aim is
10 guard our social purity, preserve our
civilization, and maintain Caucasian pres
tige and supremacy" That this was in
execrahle taste, and in gross defiance of
enlightened hospitality viii become appar-
ent on very brief analysis and reflection.
This Memphian oracle was addressing
the Chief Magistrate of this great country,
the President of all the people. He is
known to be firmly in favor of securing 10
all citizens OF the United States the full
enjoyment of all their constitutional
rights. The closing clause of the above
remark Of the Memphis Mayor implies.
and was meant to imply, that in maintain
ing Caucasian prestige and supremacy
il WA essential to maintain negro in
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1891-04-19

1eriority. The language u capable Of NO
other construction.
And his language implied, and was
meant to imply, that this "law-sbiding'
of1cial, and those for whom he assumed to
speak, could only guard their "social
purity and preserve their civilization by
maintaining Caucasian prestige and SUI
premacy, even, when necessary. by debar-
ring colored citizens from exercise Of the
elective franchise guaranteed to them by
the federal constitution. This to m of5cer
sworn to support the constitution, and
who is in favor Of enforcing il on this par
ticular problem" and who il sworn to
''see that the laws are faithfully executed !"
It must not be forgotten that large
part Of the welcoming throng on that oc-
casion, and perhaps not the least sincere
and cordial in their welcome, were Ameri-
can citizens who had not been blessed with
Caucasian prestige and supremacy, but
were none the less of President Harrison's
and Mayor Clapp's constituencies, equally
with any other of the lstter's constituents
entitled to be represented and spoken for
in the welcoming address to their Presi-
dent no less than his.
Very properly. and as was to be expected,
the President made no allusion, direct or
indirect, TO these malapropos remarks Of
the Memphis Mayor in his response. He
congratulated "the people" on the pro-
gress they had made, and it is highly inn
probable that he had only Caucasians in
mind when extending these congratula-
tons. And there Is just the difference be-
tween truly American observation-disclosures
and its reverse, Is most narrowly Illus
trated in the race-vaunting and race-in-
sulting fanfaronade Of the Mayor. The
contrast is an object lesson which cannot
fail Of . healthy educating effect upon re-
fecting citizens.
