THE FRIENDS OF THE NEGRO.
They Live south of Mason and Dixon's Line-Negroes Seen ar Their
 Worst in the North.

The Washington Post, of a late date, says: 'eWe are bound to ad- nit that there is some justification for the hostile attitude of the whites toward the blacks in this part of the country. Unquestion- ably the negro is seen at his worst North of the Potomac and the Ohio rivers. Whether it is that he feels himself among people who neither like or understand him, we do not pretend to say. The fact is, however, that here in Washington, for instance, one encounters more rudeness from colored people in 8 single day than he would find in a whole year in any Southern con- munity. There are negroes in this city-not one or two, but hundreds of them-who make a point when ever opportunity offers of being offensive to whites with whom they may come in contact. Those are not of the poor, ragged and un- fotunate class, but of the smart, o well-dressed. and, in a small way, prosperous variety. Tn the street cars, in the parks, on the sidewalks wherever they find the chance they exhibit qualities of rowdyism, truculence and animostity, which necessarily create a deep and lasting prejudice against their race. At the South, where the races under stand each other, this would do little harm. The offenders would be treated as individuals. At the North, however, it is different. The offenders are regarded as the rep resentatives of the whole race. The underlying cause, we fully believe, resides in the negro's conviction that the Northern whites are not his friends, and in the personal sense that is altogether true; but the fact is as we have stated it, and one can readily realize that such conditions do not tend to mutual sympathy and mutual respect.
 Meanwhile, the incident narrated by the Suns correspondent tells it's own story and conveys it's own moral. 1t illustrates the position so often and so confidently advanced by the Post-that the best friends the negro has-the trust, most sympathetic, and most hopeful friends-are to be found in the old slave-holding class of the South or their descendants"

YET AT LIBERTY.
The Posse Falls to Capture the Men Who Killed Deputy Sheriff Harris
 and D. H. Stint.

Parties who came in from England this morning report that the posse which started out yesterday morn ing to capture the men who, at an early hour on that day, shot and killed Deputy Sheriff Harris and his father-in-law D. H. Harris, had failed to accomplish its purpose, and that the murderers are yet at liber- ty. The murderers are believed to be Owens and Nichols, who were committed to the Arkansas county jail to await trlal on the charge of grand larceny. The men escaped from the jail several weeks ago and Deputy Sheriff Harris, of Lonoke county, traced them to the home of MT. Lacy, near England, relative of Owens. Near there he attempted to arrest them when he and Stifft were shot to death.

The wheelmen have left Memphis for Cairo and the riders are in splendid health and enjoying their ride im- mensely.

WILL SWEEP THE STREETS
And Do Away With the Mud That is Such
 Nuisance.

Mr. Sam Franklin has purchased a machine that will sweep our paved streets. The machine is the latest invention of the kind, and wherever used it has given the greatest satis- faction. The machine was ordered some weeks ago but it's shipment was delayed on account of some i'm provement to be made in it. It will arrive here about the first of next month and will at once be put in operation. The arrival of this machine will be hailed with delight, for it will do away with the water and mud made by the street sprink- Ter which is such nuisance to pedestrians and bicycle riders.

WORK OF AN INCENDIARY. The New Home of Mrs. L. P. Donelsou, Near sherrin. Burned to the
 Ground.

Mrs. l.. ?. Donelson, of this city. is just now in peculiarly bad streak of luck. A few nights ago she had a residence burned in this city on which she had very little in- suranee, and last night she suffered another severe loss by fire.
 Only a few days ago she had commodious residence built on her plantation near Sher- Till. The building was only con- pleted last week, and on yesterday she removed . part of her household goods from her residence in this city into 1t, and expected to remove the remainder today.
 This morning the new residence was burned to the ground, with all of it's contents. Mrs. Donelson did not have a dollars insurance on the building, and the policy on the household goods not having been transferred she will get no insur- anee on them. There is not the feast doubt but that the house was fired by some miscreant to whom death by hanging would be too easy and end. The GRAPHIC deeply sym pathizes with the lady on her loss.

claims of the city to said premises. To my mind the unquestionable effect of the resolution in question, ii the same should be passed over your veto, would be to preclude the City from pleading said contract in future, and to compel her to stand by an ordinance to diyest her of all right to or control oyer the premises in question.
 And 1 said at the last meeting of the Council, there was grave doubts as to the validity of any ordinance granting the railway company con- trol over South Common. but the City cannot afford to rely upon in- validity of her ordinances to secure her rights in future
 As to some of the statements of this letter 1 thought best at last meeting that they should be made only on the trial of the City's ease in court, but have decided that it is best to lay the matter fully before you. l trust that this statement, more deliberately made, lays the matter before you more clearly than l was able to do at the last meeting of the Council.
 Respectfully submitted,
 F. M. HUDSON, City Attorney.
 Alderman Goza moved that the veto of the Mayor be sustained, and said that he believed the railway company could be forced to grade Fourth avenue under the old ordi- nances.
 After explanations from Aldermen who voted for the resolution, Alder man Boyce, to get the matter prop erly before the Council, moved that the Mayors veto be not sustained. The vote resulted hayes and ayes, thus sustaining the veto.
 Resolution of Alderman Well rel ative to allowance of accounts of Water and Light Company and ordering Finance Committee to can eel warrants issued to said company, was unanimously passed.
 Ordinance increasing salaries Of officers of Police Department and patrolmen as follows: Chief, $SS.50; assistant, S76.5O; patrolmen, $59; taking effect October 1st, was read twice and amended to $90, $77 .50 and $60, after which it passed.
 Nothing further being on the Clerks desk, the Council adjourned.

FREEDOM FOR IRELAND.
Irish Societies in America in Convention Discussing the Best Means to Se- cure Independence In
 Ireland.

CHICAGO, Sept 24--The discussion of the best ways to secure the inde- pendence of Ireland is the purpose of the great international Irish Par lament which opened in this city today. Fifteen hundred delegates, representing Irish societies, mili- tary and civic, in every State of Che Union, together with delegates from Australia, Mexico, Canada and other quarters of the globe, crowded the Y. M. c. A. auditorium when the convention was called to order at 10 o'clock by John J. Emery, President of the Confederated Irish Societies of Chicago, under whose auspices the convention was called. Among the prominent delegates are John Fitzpatrick, Mayor of New Orleans; James Killala, of Nashville, Tenn. ;, Hon. s. M. Hover, of Altoona, Pa. ;; John M. Clark, of Milwaukee, ONeil Ryan, of St. Louis; Judge P. J. O'Connor, of Savannah, Ga.; James M. Graham, of Springfield, IL; Col. Gerald Dougherty, of Louisville, Ky, and Morris F. NYilhare, of Philadel- phia, Pa.
 The hall in which the convention is held is elaborately decorated. Shields representing the counties of Ireland adorn the walls, with four larger ones bearing the heraldic de- vices of the four provinces, occupy ing the corners. Over the stage is the largest shield of all, with the forty-four stars and thirteen stripes blazoned upon its eonvexity. The four days sessions of the convention will be held behind closed doors and the proceedings and deliberations will not be easy for an outsider to find out. Consultations of Irish revolutionary leaders from different lands have heretofore been held, but none of so open and general char aeter as the present gathering, and as a consequence some interesting results are looked for by Irish pa triots the world over, whether in sympathy with the present move ment or not, for there is a large ele- ment of the Irish American party that regard the present convention with extreme disfavor. It is clear that the object of the promoters is the inauguration of a policy of phys icaI force, and the unequiyocal con- demnation of all parliamentary pam aceas for Ireland's relief. Home rule is to be pronounced farce and fraud It is the opinion of the leaders in the movement that the present conference will create an en- thusiasm among the Irishmen in America that has not been eoualled since the Fenian days. Whether this statement is verified or not. it seems certain that the meeting be- gan today will prove to be the Eopen- ing of a renewed fight in the cause of Irish liberty.
