NEGRO RIGHTS.
.Des Xoines Record.

4
A largely-attended and fiery meeting
of Negroes was held at the court house
Thursday evening, to protest against
the treatment accorded their race by
the News, Leader, Mail and Times and
other papers in relation to the affair on
Fourth street. some days since, when
Holleran was wounded. Resolutions
were adopted condemning the journals
named. The meeting developed some
unusually good samples of oratory.
The addresses of Messrs. Hyde. Ross
and Sam Mash showed that in the line
OF experimenting the race has some ex-
eeilent samples The last two coun-
selled moderation, but Mr.. Hyde.s adj
dress was of the fighting order The
meeting is an additional evidence OF
the unrest of the Negro race under
present conditions. The question IS not
one of politics, but of ordinary justice
and humanity. There is no defense
for the Negro that struck the cowardly
bio. but there is less excuse for the.
threatened lynchiug. The trouble is
that north and south, east and west,
has imbibed the one-time purely south
ern view that the Negro has no rights
spect. That theory began in the
former slave states; now Negroes
are shot in Illinois, shot in Washington,
and lynched almost everywhere. AS
race, they recognize that their rights
are subservient to an unjust, senseless
prejudice Courts and iuries lean
toward the white side" The lyncher
selects the black man for his rope and
the bully selects him for his revolver.
The Negro pays his taxes the same as
any other citizen and knows. that he is
entitled TO the same protection of law.
He sees that he does not receive it and
is FESTIVE and fearful. 1t is no answer
to an outrage to say that the victim is
"a id niger Citizenship is the
dearest right. for it includes not only
all other rights but is acquired by
obligations imposed and rendered and
under promises as sacred asany can be,
Is it any wonder that the men of that
despised race seek to organize for the
protection which the law and public
sentiment deny them in the face of the
mos solemn pledges that they shall
have it?

Making Bridal Carriers.

At all times garters have been con-
sidered very important details of
woman's dress, and always associated
in some manner with matrimony. Down
through half dozen centuries comes to
us the custom practiced to-day Of l1av-
ing the garters as finishing touch to
brides toilet. The particular girl
friend who is permitted to slip them
into place is conceded to stand the best
possible chance of wedding happily be-
fore twelve months are out
A prospect of near and blissful matri-
mony is also shared by the friend who
secures the privilege of making brides
garters, the proper pattern for which is
now circle of white silk elastic covered
with embroidered white satin and
clasped by small gold buckle enameled
in white bow knots. The garters Of
Marie Antoinette were pretty pink silk
bands deliberately embroidered on the
upper half in tiny jewels and gold
thread. In an American family are
preserved the bridal garters of a titled
English actress. These are of white
silk, nearly two inches broad, and deco
rated with round buttons made of seed
pearls, from which suspend pearl cordH
and tassels two inches long.

Fighting Spider Crabs.

The blue crab is a natural born fight

little rather fight than not The spider
crab is not so much Of a fighter as that;
still, the spider will put his claws up.
There are eight or ten big spider crabs
in one of the tanks at the New York
Aquarium; the biggest of them four
inches in length Of body and measuring
eight or ten inches in spread of legs.
Two of these spiders of about equal
size met in the tank the other day, and
stood up on their hind legs and faced
each other like two boys meeting In the
street. Then they threw their upper
legs around each other and grap?led.
and began plugging away at each other
with their pincer claws. A moment
later one pushed the other over on his
back and fell on MIN; he hit him once
after he was down, Then they went
