North marries colored man, she is
merely ostracised by family and friends,
a condition truly unpleasant, but one
which, if she loves her husband and he
is worthy, can yet be borue with con-
tentment, while in the South her hus-

was reversed, the husband white and
the wife colored, they might both stand
a chance to go to the penitentiary, and
in both insta the woman is declared
a concubine and the offspring of their
union are bastards. No such condition
exists in the North.
These things, we opine, constitute a
vast difference between conditions in the
North and conditions in the South, and
people who talk on the social or political
conditions of our country should bear
these facts in mind.

Miss Ida B. Wells lectured agalns1
lynching Sunday night in Roohester, ~ y.
Y. In the coarse of her address sile
made the statement that between looH
and 1899 one thousand colorei people hao
been lynehed in the South-a moderate
estimate-on slight pretexts, and III many
cases the mob's victim were innocents'
giving q number of instances where SUCH
was the case.
In the audience there was a young
Texan student of theology-probably a
young fellow who is learning sophlstry
su Efficiently to uphold lynehing as some
ofIthe older preachers have done-who
became incensed and for moment be-
lieving himself in the land OF the
"Lilies," with right to silence the black
lecturer, he arose majestically and
apostrophized her thus:
"Do you assume that ali Negroes that
have been lynched in the South since the
war were innocent?"
Miss Wells was equal to the unlocked
for and ungentlemanly interruption and
quickly replied that she had said moth
ing of the kind, but merely claimed that
all men were innocent in the eyes of the
law until conviction. IS
This was drawing it fine. The point
is that every man, whether innocent or
guilty, is equally entitled to the protec-
tion of the law, and that it is as much
murder to lynch the one as the other.
But let that pass.
Miss Wells resumed her lecture and
spoke against the Jim Crow laws of the
South, especially the law prohibiting
marriage between persons of different
races.
This exasperated the young man from
Texan wilds. He jumped up and yelled:
Do Negroes want to marry white
folks? If Negroes are go badly treated
in the South why do they not come
North or go West or to some more con-
genial clime?"
This was meant to be a "corker." If
Miss Wells had been white, the question
would have been: ado you want to
marry your daughter to a nigger?" This
in the old saw, by which white per-
sons "loyalty to his rcace" is tested
down our way. The question is not
whether Negroes want to marry white
folks, or vice versa, but whether people
should not be permitted to marry accord
ing to their personal tastes or prefer
ences. This is the contention. We want
no interference with individual liberty,
whether one wants or wants not to marry
this or that person.
Of all oppressive measures, anti-mar
riage laws are the most cruel, unjust ant
degrading, in that they attempt to regu
late peoples happiness according to th
legislators crude notion, while the con
tracing parties, wishes should be the sol
guide, and therefore directly lead to I'M
morality, concubinage and degradation

radiation of the holy sacrament of til

F But Miss Wells was not frightened, as
the Texan doubtless expected. With
great composure he answered that her
people were not able to emlRrate; they
were too poor and were kept poor by
landlords who paid them for their labor
IN plantation Checks" for Whlch they
received only provisions at the plantatlon
store. She could have truthfully added
that by this system they were robbed OF
the larger share of the fruit OF their Ia
Dor, as goods at the plantation store sold
at SO per cent. higher than elsewhere =
and the planter alone kept the accounts,
which it was death to the laborer to dis
pute.
But at this juncture, Miss Susan b.
Anthony, who was in the audience and
whose indignation had been rising since
the Texan's interruption, could restrain
herself no longer. She arose and with
fire i'll her eyes spoke. Said she:
"The colored people receive no better
treatment in the North than they do in
the South. That is why they do not
come here. will relate an incident that
| occurred in our city only last week. A
dance was to be given I'D NO. school
for the hen eft Of children OF the seventh
grade, and tickeSswere issued to children
| for ten cents. Now it happened that
there was one colored girl in the grade,
who wanted TO get in IS well as the Other
children and her mother gave her the
money. But when she went to heI
teacher, Mss Stuart, she was told that
if she insisted on attending, none of Gel
white children would go and the affair
would be given up; so the poor child was
turned away. ! consider that outrage
on the feelings of that colored girl was
the result of the same spirit that inspires
lynchings in the South"
The audience approved, the Texan sub.
sided, Miss Wells finished her lecture,
and Miss Anthony showed that she had
no sympathy with the spirit of proscrip.
ton against the colored people, whether
in the South or in the North.
Miss Anthony is a friend and lover Of
Justice; but while she said good dea
of truth in this utterance, and while il
is true that the spirit that proscri bee
that colored girl from the dance, OF
prescribes the colored mau from socia
intercourse with his white fellows in th,
North, is akin to that which inspires tn,
less civilized people of the South to Lynch
Negroes TO assert their race superiority
yet the condition North andthe condition
South are widely different.

One afternoon, astride diminutive bur-
ros, we left the hotel and drove down into
the cool shadows Of the canyon. We were
bound for a giant fig tree far up the noun
tain side As far as we could see were vast
vistas of mountains and valleys. The de-
nuded sides of Eagle rock rose above q
growth of manZanita and madronyo. A
hawk in gradually lessening circles glided
down the gray walls Of a volcanic slide
and assembled in another moment with
rabbit in it's talons. The sun found its
way in blotches Of light through the net
work Of leaves and wild grapevines above
our heads. The burros, impervious to
our blows and threats, hardly moved along
the narrow trail that at times wound
along shifting beds of gravel where but
one misstep would have dropped the rider
down hundreds of feet among the great
powders in the bed Of the creek. Outlines
the trail was SO steep that we held on with
difficulty, and yet our long cared, short
legged beasts plodded on with the same IN
varying regularity that we had found fault
with on the level.
Vast clouds of steam were issuing from
the "Tea Kettle to our right that met
the sun and formed dozen miniature
feeting rainbows A deep, stony arroyo
separated us from the great man fig We
were forced to dismount and crowd our
burros into this gulch and up the opposite
side. That they resented this treatment
we found on our return, for one and all
positively refused to take one step down
ward into the arroyo. We pleaded and
begged, patted and whipped to no purpose.
They simply braced their four small feet,
laid back their long ears and took it all
alike in scornful silence. At last we ranged
them along the edge of the arroyo, and
then took a run and jump and threw
nv shoulder against the most stubborn OF
the lot The move was successful. Like
a shot the little fellow went over the bank
and landed on his feet at the bottom. The
others surrendered and scrambled meekly
down. Monthly.
