The police of Vienna have stopped the
Tolkspresse from distributing food to the
poor, on the ground that tho assemblages
constitute a public danger. The suppress

imperial idea that the danger of letting the
people get well-fed and frisl>y is one to be
avoided at all hazards.

On Thursday, of last week, in the Cen
eral Conference of the NJ. E. Church
North, in session at Omaha, the Commit
tee on the State of the Church brought in
report calling upon the government, the
State officials, the NJ. E. Church, and all
good citizens "to arise in their might and
abolish the indignities and outrages that
were put upon the colored people and all
white people who love to work for the ele-
walton of the colored race in the Southern
States" The resolution declared that the
colored people were treated shamefully on
the railway trains and at the hotels and in
every way. They were shot down like dogs
and the law of land was trampled under
foot by the people who despised the colored
race. The resolution was the signal for
tremendous cheering. DR.. Queat, DR..
PAYNE and other made vehement speeches
calling upon the Methodist church to stand
firmly for the rights of the colOred race
DR.. Myley advised the conference to be
moderate in language employed. eve are
not perfect ourselves, brethren, except in
words" said DR.. Myley. The report was
adopted by a rising vote, every delegate in
the conference rising to his feet.
This outburst doubtless had reference to
the rather frequent lynchings in the South
ern States within the past few months. We
do not attempt to defend or excuse these
lawless proceedings; but they are crimes
against the communities in which they &C.
eur, not against the colored race or the
wretches thus made to suffer for their out
RACES. Law-abiding people ought to unite
in condemning lynch-law, but sympathy
with negro rayishers, for whom no punish
ment is too harsh or too swift, is worse than
misplaced.
