There has been one or two occasions
sion when men have attempted to introduce
the nymph du paw into respectable society.
Some people and members ofchurches have
attempted to commit the same offense.
Such men have no respect for themselves
and cannot in reason expect others to re-
gard them as men who are working for
the best Interest of Afro-Americans. So
ciety must repel all such insults. The
ideA that any one should attempt to
foist upon the many good and pure
home in this city notorious character OF
several years standing is disgusting.
There are men who have lost all sensibil-

drawn in their society. 1t is not true

He SAID that ALL over the south Negroes
we're employed in various industries and
trade. snch as blacksmiths printers. car
penters, brick masons. engineers, frsmen.
baggage men contractors. etc. Their ap-
portunities for work are much greater.
In the north the school facilities are much
better, but there is no place in which to
use it. The prejudice in the north takes
another form. and leaves the Negro with
very few things at which he can work.
For instance, there is not Negro driving
team for transfer. express or hack line
company. Whereas in the south there
are plenty Of them Mr.. Mayweather
was born and raised in the south and
came to Iowa several years ago. He Is

mbIc MILEAGE Bill TO be PMsSeN.

The general passenger agent OF one
of the important systems of roads In
the Central Traffic Association terri
tory, in conversation with reporter OF
the indianapolis Journal, said; II see
by the Journal OF Wednesday that the
commercial travellers bill for inter
changenble mileage has been favorabIy
received and will likely be passed at
the next meeting of the Senate. The
Commercial Travellers Association
have spent II great deal of money and
time In pressing this bill. The passage
of the bill will undoubtedly help them
in some parts Of the country, although
in the more densly- populated and busy
parts of the community the demands OF
business are more likely to produce
favorable methods for the free inter-
change of business than can be accom-
plished by legislation, rs, for example,
the recent announcement, that, com
meucing with the lst of January, the
thousand tickets Of the Cincinnati.
Hamilton & DAYTON. which are sold FOR
$50, are accepted for passage over not
only their connections but competing
lines, and this mileage book gives a
man the choice OF II commercial terri
tory covering over ten thousand miles
of railroad. For instance, this ticket
is honored from Cincinnati to st. Louis
over the issuing road, IN connection
with the Vandalia, and also over the
competing lines, the Big Four and the
Ohio & Mississippi 1t is also good be-
tween Louisville and Cincinnati, good
between Chicago and Cincinnati over
two ro ads, good between Cleveland and
Cincinnati over two roads, good be-
tween Columbus and Cincinnati, good
between Cincinnati, Toledo and Detroit,
so that so far as the Central States are
concerned, the field is practically
covered by the liberal action OF the
