How Ilored Member Embarrasssd the
Mas. schUsetts Committee


The Boston Herald of Sunday contains
city. giving some interesting informa ton
about the visit South of the Massachu-
sets Legislative Committee on Mercan-
tile Affairs. This is the same committee
entertained here by Richmond people Fri
day last.
Touching the many embarrassments to
which the white members Of the commit
tee were subjected IN travelling in con-
pany with their colored colleague, Tea
,noh the Herald's special says:
There is one phase OF the comm ittee's
s)Journ In the South which is of a char
acter described by De Wolf Hopper. in
his well known song of the mai, VINO
lad an elephant OIL his hands
II so happens that the Committee on
Mercantile Affairs has colored man
among its m, mbers. His name is Robert
1eamoh, and he represents that very
arstocratic section OF Boston known
legally as Ward 9. but better and more
widely the country over a. Beacon Hill.
Representative Teamoh accompanied
the committee. and The trouble began on
the committees arrival i'm Washington
last SUNDAY, for Notwithstanding mis- DO
sition and the theoretical equality of
men before the law, no colored man can
get food or lodging in Washington
hotel. So the committee was forced TO
have private dining-room assigned for
its Sc last Sunday
After This experience. they were frank
~ told BY the ageis Of the railroad com
pany that the committee would not be
admitted To any Southern hotel If Mr..
Teamoh WAS with them.
There was conference. and tho STU
alton was explained.
Mr.. Tesmoh promptly said that he did
not wish 10 embarrass the committee In
any way. and that any arrangement
which the committee might make would
DE satisfactory to hun. He did not
care whether he stayed at the hotels or
not. so long as he was able 10 visit the
mills and otherwise discharge the duties
incumbent upon him as q member of the
committee. 900

Athietins For Women.

In the memoria, building of the Young
Women Christian association in Brook
lyn is gymnasium which was opened
last season. 1t has been constructed to
meet the needs of young women who
can give only the evening hours to ath'
letio exercise and pay only a nominal
sum. In addition to the gymnasium
hall, with its visitors gallery and ele.
vated running track, are dressing rooms,
bathrooms and needle baths. For the
modest sum of cents any woman,
whether member or not of the gymna.
sium, can have bath. The work in
the gym comprises three grades-oalis.
thenic, gymnastio and corrective. Cor
sets and close fitting waists are prohib.
fted in all grades of work. Among the
women we'll known in Brooklyn society
who are generous supporters of the as
gociation are Mrs. Samuel B. Duryea,
Mrs. Clark Burnham, Mrs. g. H Prem
tiss and Mrs. G. w. Ide
One Of the prettiest of gymnastic ex'
ercises-a new one-is that in which
the line of girls moves in an elaborate
arabesque or scroll, winding around in
concentric circles and then unwinding
to form long line moving down the
length of the room in skillfully plan
ned curves The music grows slower
and slower until the line finally comes to
a standstill, when the girls take their
places fol other exercises.

ELECTION RETURNS.

The Enquirer for some few days has
been iptimating that there has been
Irregularities in the election in come
precincts in Utah county which might
affect the result of the election of some
of the members.
We do not believe there is any just
grounds for complaint, but still it will
be wise for our members-elect to be on
the alert and learn bottom facts as to
sll the alleged Irregularities, and Re
fully prepared to meet any contest
that may be offered.
We may reasonably expect that ei-
forts are going to be made to get some
of our Legislators counted out, for al
ready the canvassers have been asked
TO fix day when they will canvass the
returns from Utah.
We do not know what our members
elect are doing, but we do know that
we do not want to let the victory we
have achieved in Utah county slip
through our fingers because we are not
awake to republican trickery that from
present indications is almost certain
to be played, first in inducing the can
vassers to count votes that ought not
be counted and give the certificates to
republicans, and falling in that to con.
test the seats in the house after they
are organized.
Democrats, do not forget the lesson
taught us two years ago when Alexan-
der Robertson was fairly and honestly
elected to the territorial legislature
and after fair count by the Utah
commission, and full discussion lie.
fore the commission of all objections
raised by eminent counsel, Robertson
obtained the certificate and took his
seat, but a republican majority un-
seated him upon the ground that the
boundaries of Mapleton precinct had
been changed so that half dozen
voters of another legislative district
had voted In their own precinct but in
the wrong legislative district, and as
the rejection of the vote of the precinct
would change the result, this was
seized upon as an excuse to seat Il. NJ.
Dougal, who, himself, only the year
before, as county registrar, had ap-
proved the registration of these very
same voters in that precinct, under
exactly the same state of facts, and
without any change of the law.
When the contest was Inaugurated
no mention was made of that point.
1t WAS not until after Robertson had
got the certificate that it was 6rst sug-
gested, hence our experience should
teach us to expect traps to be sprung
upon us that we now know nothing
about.
Our members of the legislature must
not sleep upon their rights and allow
yigilant enemy to fitch their rights
away from them and their constitu- |
ents.
Now is the time for vigilant watch
ing of the enemy, always remembering
that eternal vigilance is the price of
safety.
