JUDGE GoFFs DECISION.

The case which has has been pend
| ing and ably argued pro and con in the
| United States circuit court for the
district of South Carolina, has been
decided in favor of the plaintiff. 1t
was case in equity and was entitled
Lawrence p Mills VS.. N. Briggs Green.
1t was case in fact to test the validity
of the registration laws of South
Carolina Mr. Mills is Negro who
has been deprived of the right to vote
and Mr. Green was a supervisor of
registration. Judge Golf promptly
handed down decision. He reviews
at length the cause of the war, the
proclamation of the president of the
United States, the adoption of the
constitutional amendments and the
laws leading up to their proper en-
forcement. and also cites many de-
cisions. The decision is far-reaching
and is a direct blow at the sovereignty
of states The following is one of the
striking passages in Judge Gotf's de-
cision:
''It is also fully determined that
citizen of a state is now simply citizen
of the United States residing in that
state; that his rights as such are those
that belong to him as citizen of the
United States, and that they are not
dependent upon his citizenship of any
state, do not depend upon it's legisla-
tion and cannot be destroyed by it's
power. AS / understand the decision
of the supreme court they sustain the
claim of the plaintiff, that the courts
of the United States are open for the
relief of citizens of the United States
whose privileges have been abridged
by the state in which he resides. Ger
tainly they should be. and / will surely
hold until advised by that court that /
am in error
According to the decision Of the
court the rights of citizens can be pro-
tected by the general government with
out the invasion of a states rights.
The doctrine that an American citizens
can be protected at home as well as
abroad will be well received by all
justice-loving people of this broad land.
President Harrison said there was no
law to afford protection to the Negro,
defenders of the stars and stripes who
resided IN the south. The court says
that a citizens rights are not depend
ent upon his citizenship of any state.
The decision of the court should be
sustained by the American people re-
gardless of party affiliations.

Nearly all the problems are solved
through the open door of the school
house The slave power was afraid OF
the school house and passed laws max.
ing it u criminal offense to teach a
Negro to read or write. But there was
no law prohibiting any one from giving
Negroes so-called religious instructions.
They were taught to believe in the
miraculous that the sun stood still
while Joshua murdered his fellow hui
man beings; that Elijah went to heaven
in a chariot of fire; that servants should
obey their masters and other stuff
unworthy of the thinking minds of this
century. The golden rule as enunci-
ated by Confucius and accredited to
Christ centuries after, was not men

HE HAD NO EAR FOR MUSIC.

Richard Harding Davis Tells Of an Ocean
Travellers Experience with a Band.
Richard Harding Davis tells a good
story of one of his transatlantic trips.
The passage, he says, was made delight
full by music at breakfast, dinner, and
tea, but there was one passenger who
objected to music. For the first three
chair, like mummy, with nothing
showing but blue nose and closed
eyelids. The band played at the end
of the deck, and partly because the fin
gers of the players were nearly frozen,
partly because of the sudden lurches
of the ship, the harmony was sometimes
destroyed. Those who had an ear for
music picked up their steamer chairs
and moved to windward, but this young
man, being half dead and firmly lashed
to his place, was unable to save him

man suddenly sat upright and pointed
his forefinger at the startled passen-

he was dead. Heavens knows, Fm a
sick man." he said, blinking his eyes
feebly, "but if live till midnight I'll
find out where they hide these horns,
and I'll drop 'em into the gulf stream
if it takes my dying breath. He then
fell over backward and did not speak

THINGS WE CAN DO.

Seek work on the street car lines.
Seek work in the carpenter shop.
Seek work in the blacksmith shop.
Seek work as brick layers appren-
tices.
Seek work as cigar makers appren-
tices.
Seek work as printers devils.
Seek to learn some trade. 1t will be
benefit.
Seek employment as drivers for
grocery, dry goods and other stores
and be faithful A promotion will
come. Seek employment of the many
express companies in our city. There
is not a Negro driver for any of them
Do not overlook the transfer companies.
There are many things that could be
done to diversity the employment of
the Negroes of Des Moines.
All should not be hotel men. All
should not be cooks. All should not
be BARRIERS All should not attend
rooms or offices. All should not be
janitors. All Should not be in any one
line of business.
There is not a Negro girl in grocery
or dry goods or any other kind of a
store in the city of Des Moines The
girls have good educations, but they
receive no assistance from those who
could help them in securing positions.
These matters are of more Importance
than all the politics in the state and all
the jobs acquired through political in
tluence. We must rise from the
beginning.
We know of one book keeper in the
state of Iowa. He has held such
place for years in a large wholesale
house in the city of keokuk
There should be a change. Suppose
that fifty families agree to do their
trading with a grocery store if they
will employ a reliable Negro boy or
girl as clerk. Suppose the same is
done with dry goods store and so on.
In this way young business men and
women could be educated. Who will
be the first to fall in line?
We are behind Minnesota, Nebraska,
Missouri and Illinois, not because we
have not just as good material, but
because we do not act together in
matters that concerns us ali.
We would be glad to have an ex-
preston Of opinion on these matters.

round a Man Under Her Bed.

A Cleveland woman has at last sue,
ceeded in finding that man under the
bed for whom all women have been
searching for years. But she was not
looking for him. She accidentally no.
ticed his feet projecting from his hiding
place. She did not scream or faint.
She called to her brother to come and
"f1x the window curtains" and when he
came she pointed to the feet. Then her
brother went over and placed his foot
on the bad mans feet. They were not
so large as the brothers feet He also
remarked in an audible tone: IF you
try to moye / will blow you1 brains
OUT And the woman went out and
telephoned for the police. The police
came and dragged that man out and
carried him away to dungeon. THAT
is what they did. Now everybody
knows just what is etiquette when a,
man is found under a bed. The example
cannot be improved upon.-Indianapolf
