Is There More Prejudice Against
Black Men
THAN THERE WAS TEN YEARS AGO?

Gel. John NJ. Brown Says There is Ten
Times Much, But Host Leading
COIOred Men Disagree with Him.
In his speech at the City park on
Emancipation day Colonel John N.
Brown made the statement that there is
ten times as much prejudice against the
negro in Kansas as there was ten years
ago.
The STATE JOURNAL has interviewed a
number of the leading colored men of
Topeka on this question and although
their opinions as to the correctness of
Colonel Browns statement differ they are
interesting.
James II. Guy said: 81 don't see it that
way. 1t is not true that there is more
prejudice against the colored people
than there was ten years ago. The col
Ored people are more advanced fnan-
cially. educationally and morally than
they have been, and I think the white
people see it,
"W hen q white man wants to hire help,
all things being equal, he hires the white
man who applies. and I don't blame him
for giving his own race the preference.
Then the white folks have enough of
their own poor to look after without
paying attention to the poor negroes
ty stricken negroes as there were ten
years ago, and as the negro gets farther
away from poverty he wipes away the
prejudice. Although we may not like to
acknowledge it, any person looks down
on the poverty stricken individual,
whether he is white or black, and we
can't help it, but the colored people are
getting out of poverty and are doing
away with this pref udice.

tain prejudice against colored man, but
it is rot increasing and say let our lead
ing colored men who hold and have
held the fat Offices, and have
got the mohey ont of them, engage
in commercial enterprises and give en-
ployment to our young colored men and
women and open mp avenues of work to
colored people, and they can do more to
wipe out this prejudice in that way
than in any other"
John Edmunds, who has been an en-
ploye at the state printing Office for elev-
en- years, said: There is not ten times
as much prejudice against colored peo-
pie as there WAS ten years ago, but l
think there is more. A few years ago
started in to learn the book binders trade
but was kicked out and never could
learn any reason for it except that | was
a colored man. I see indications of the
increased prejudice about the hotels and
restaurants, but have not given any of
them an opportunity to refuse to feed
me lately"
John B. Jones: "What Brown raid is
true. I think that the reason is because
there are so many more rich people here
than there used to be. There was Il time
in Topeka when a white man could hard
y get JOB in a family around town,
and now it is the colored man who can
rot get tae JOB. The white people have

The Manufacturer and Herald of Trade
Of San Francisco says 'srhe Astorian OF
June a estimates the Columbia River
pack at about 100000 cans short OF 1894"
The Astorian never stated anything of
the kind. What our report did say was
that there would be probable shortage
OF 100000 cases. The same paper states
that 'as the FISH this year have been ex-
ceptionally heavy (they were noD this
estimate must be mistake. Gamers on
the Columbia river above the mouth OF
the Willamette river will be considerably
short In their pack while those below
the mouth os the Willamette extending 20

statement Is OF course deliberate un-
truth. The tower river. as we have be-
fore stated, Is at this time running be-

pressed that would amount to a cut down
In the wages of the British workers, un-
less they were correspondingly raised, In
which case the proffered advantage would
vanish into thin air
On both sides of the Atlantic any
change In the silver policy which would
increase the ability OF producers to sell
in competition with the free silver coun-
tries only could come by means of de-
probation in the currency unit without
a corresponding increase in the nominal
wages pad to the wage-earners. In other
words, all the advantage 1t is proposed to
obtain is by a reduction in the effective
power OF the wages paid TO the toilers.
The free silver agitators count on being
able to cut the unit Of currency in two
without doubling the number Of units to
correspond with the decrease in the value
Of each unit. And many workingmen in
this and other countries are so foolish
as to join them In demand for change
which would be the worst blow inflicted
upon American labor in the history Of
the United States.

AS a first step toward obtaining better
roads In the state, the Rhode Island leg
islature has caused an investigation to be
made of the roads as they now exist.
The commissioners report that some of
the roads are unsafe even for light vehi-
cles. and others are so steep that only
a small part of an ordinary load can be
hauled over them. The total length Of
roads is 242O miles, of which only 24S miles
are macadamized and Sl2 miles covered
with gravel. The remainder are dirt roads.
The report moves an exchange to say If
this is the condition of the public high
ways in one small, rich state, densely
populated and long settled, the reports in
other states. for the credit OF the country,
should be read in secret session.

A CLOSE CALL.
Heppner Gazette.

Heppner Gazette.
Bert Simons, who has long since won
the reputation OF being able to shoe any
broncho that ever grazed on the bunch
grass hills of Eastern Oregon, had an
extremely close call yesterday and had It
not been for the prompt arrival and ac-
tion of DR.. Shipley, it is generally con-
ceded that he would never have recovered.
Judd Rogers brought in rather a fine
specimen of the broncho tribe of sorrel
complexion yesterday afternoon to have
him shod, and informed the boys in the
shop that the animal was very wild, but
they hastened to assure him that none
were two wild for that shop, thinking,
perhaps, that the horse was not as wild
as reported, and In fact many a wilder
and meaner one has been mastered by
them. Joe Masterson, the heavyweight
Of the shop, was dispatched to hold the
horse, while Bert hastily prepared for the
operation, and walking around the horse,
attempted to pick up his front foot, when
the animal lunged by him, and as he did
80 Bert struck him on the hip. Instantly
the broncho kicked with great force
striking Bert with one foot just over the
heart. However, he was not knocked
down, but staggered a short distance and
with a groan fell to the floor. Doc. Ship
ley, VINO was sitting out in the front of
the shop, was at once called, and when
he arrived neither breathing nor pulse
beat were perceptlble, and his eyes and
mouth were both get. In this condition ne
remained for fully four minutes, but by
prompt action life was partially restored,
though the breathing was apparently by
great effort, and the heart beat irregular.
1t was fully thirty minutes before Bert
recovered consciousness and some time
before ne was able to stand. AS soon as
able he was helped into a hack and
driven home, where, we are pleased to
say, ne is beginning to feel like himself
chce more. We congratulate Bert on
his successful escape from so close a
call and trust that in the future he will
not be too friendly with any horse Of the
cayuse or broncho variety.
