SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2l, 1891.

A New Orleans paper gives the an
nexed account of ball at the Spanish
Fort Casino: "There was no slipping,
no sliding, no hunting for dark corners,
but in this broad hall, under the glare of
myriads of brilliant electric lights, be-
fore thousands of witnesses, scores of
white women laid their heads caressing.
" on the broad shoulders of dark hued
sons of toll. A half hundred or more
white males seemed to experience great
pleasure and delight in having the honor
of being permitted 70 indulge in the
Terpsichorean art enveloped in the arms
and basking in the smiles of the dusky
daughters of Ham," All of which
prompts the the query, whether, or not,
some OF the talent which was expended
in inventing the Jim Crow car law might
not have been more profitably employed
in restraining such debauchery as is thus
described.

We have heard of only one lynching
apiece in Mississippi and Louisiana last
week. At Like, Miss, Bob Wallace, a
sleeping-car porter was taken from the
train and carried off to the woods with a
rope around his neck by twenty masked
Regulators" He has not been heard
from since. At Bastrop, La, w. S. Fell
ton and ]. T. Smith, residents of Mer
Rouge, were taken from the parish Jail
by 100 or more determined men and
conducted three miles east of the town
and hanged to tree. It seems probable
that these parties were white men. If
80, the circumstances may attract some
attention and suggest some reason why
it may be undesirable for lynch law to
secure recognized standing as an ele-
nent of our civilization.

Many of our race journals were much
offended at the insulting signs "For

But, with singular Inconsistency they
seem to delight in labelling some of our
most prominent men with that very

refers to Lynch and Bruce "a few big

of the 'Wiiey Jones street railway A
few months since, he acquired, also, an

Still later he purchased the balance of

In Austria women are employed to
carry the mortar and brick to the build
ers. They work from 7 in the morning
till at night, with one hour at noon,
and receive twenty cents day, most
of these female hod carriers are unmar-
ried and homeless.
Despite the fact that women lead the
van in the crusade against the good old
institution of matrimony there is not, I
am convinced, female citizen in the land
whose appetite for weddings and all that
pertaineth thereto is not absolutely vor-
acious. The t,nkling of marriage bells is
to a woman as imperative summons as
bugle call is to soldier on duty, and
however advanced" they may be in the
Dry upon the subject Of the hymeneal
knot, it is part Of their practice to
shun the festivities with which the sac
rifce is ordinarily associated.

of the M. E. church South, expresses
the hope that the Colored branches will
"overcome all obstacles,'' but says, also,
that there is no possibility of such union
between the white "North" and the
white s'South." The reason assigned is
"We are a totally different people and
rejoice that we are"

A recent case before the Supreme
Court of mississippi is, in these lynch
law days, of special interest. Maufy, a
Colored, and Nicholson, a white man,
had fight. At night Nicholson, went
without any warrant, to arrest Maury,
broke open Maury's house and was
killed by the latter. The lower court
convicted Maury of murder, but the Su-
preme Court reversed the decision, upon
the common law MAXIM, that every
mans house is his castle. Such de-
cision is of great value in Mississippi.

We notice in some of exchanges
bitter complaints in regard to the man
agement of some of the Southern schools
for Colored youths. The great societies
and churches which manage these insti-
tutions should thoroughly investigate
these matters and ascertain the facts in
the case. We have good grounds for the
opinion that some of their employees are
not what they should be, nor what the
employers think they are. At any
rate, charges coming from reputable
sources should be investigated.
