BLUE BLOOD BOSTING.

Anent the hotel-jubilee episode in this
city a few days since, comes the aston
ishing announcement of racial preju-
dice in New England. and later in BOs-
ton itself. The Boston hotels refused
TO entertain Bishop Arnett because he
CrOtherS, the Harvard university
preacher. has rebuked their intolerance
in regular wet blanket style. He
was 10 address BOston's cult on "True
Americanism," and at one of these very
hotels. The day was fixed, but learn
ing of the insult TO the bishop, he wrote
them that the discussion of True
AmericaniSm" under such circum-
stances, while tamely submitting to
tourages against the first principles of
true Americanism. would be anincOn
sistency so apparent as to be almost
grotesque."
Who is Bishop Arnett? He is the
senior bishop of the African Metho-
dist church in America, has a soul, a
cultivated brain and is human. He
was in Boston by invitation to address
the Christian Endeavor societies of
Massachusetts. He is really a dis
tinguiShed man. is president of the
board of trustees of Wilberforce uni
yersity. and of the Negro Authors club.
He is a fellow member of the National
Christian Endeavor board of trustees,
being an associate Of President Harper
Of Chicago university, eX-POstmaster
General John Wanamaker, Rev. Dr..
John Henry Burrows, who presided
over the parliament of religions at the
worlds fair. and other men of national
fame. And yet because he had negro
blood in his veins this scholar and
Christian gentleman was refused adj
mission to the leading hotels of Boston.
That is a fine specimen of intolerance,
bigotry and race prejudice in a city
that once prided itself on It's liberality,
its culture and its devotion to human
rights.
A few days before a company of
COlOEtu JublLt0 iiOul tue
ton institute came to Hartford to give
an entertainment in one of the churches
of that city. The pastor of the church,
one of the foremost men Of Hartford
and New England, went in vain TO
every hotel III the city TO find entertain
ment for these colored students. They
were well behaved. intelligent young
ladies and gentlemen, but they had "a
strain of cOlored blood and the doors of
Hartford'S hotels were slammed in
their faces. Hartford has prided itself
on its liberality, its prOgreSsivenesS, its
culture and its devotion To human free
dom. But such intolerance, such
bigotry and race prejudice are dis
grace TO it.
What is the matter with New Eng
land? There was a time when its peO-
pie profeSSed to lead the country in
their devotion to the cause Of negro
emancipation. Now that the negro
has been emancipated from the chains
Of human slavery, they propose to de-
prive him of his civil rights and bind
him with the letters of race prejudice.
Such treatment might have been ex-
pected in South Carolina, but it i'll be-
comes New England.

nent Republicans have since come TO the
same conclusion, including most OF the
veterans of the senate.
Ex-senator Edmunds is the only one
who has retired from the senate before
the Goths and Vandals. but the others
who We're his colleagues have doubtless
felt strongly tempted 10 do so. although.
Ike the Roman senators. they have sat in
their seats trying TO look as dignified as
possible under the rude insults of the bar
barians.
1T is well known now. through their
own admission, that the Republicans ad-
mitted the new states in the former Reed
congress in order to increase the number
of probable Republican electoral votes. so
that they could elect president without
the votes of the state OF New York and
also with the secondary view of increasing
their numbers in the senate with a view
to indefinite control Of that body"
The new senators from the west may
be barbarians. II would have been a
terrible thing for Senator Baker OF
Kansas, ten years ago, 10 have called
the attention of the senate 10 the fact
that they were INDUCING in Justice
court pettifOgging." when he had not
been in the senate himself for quite
two months This he did and no one
took any notice of it. 1t was the old
dignified custom TO make the Junior
senator keep his mouth shut securely
for the first two or three years. This
was in line with dignity, and the young
senator who broke over the custom
was frozen for the rest of his career by
this wonderful refrigerator of dignity,
the United States senate.
But it has changed. A constituency
sends a man TO the United States SEN
ate for the worth of his services as
their state representative. Any rule
or custom or plan by which aggressive
action on the part of that representa-
tive is smothered entirely, merely be-
cause that representative has not been
in the senate as long as some other man
from some other state, is not right and
cannot endure.
The west will continue to send such
men to the senate as it pleases without
waiting on the advice, or needing the
criticism of eastern newspapers or
men. But the east should be far
sighted enough and sensible enough to
see that the present scenes and antics
of the United States senate means
something more important than the de-
struction of the late lamented dignity.
1t means that the well-fed east is to be
reminded of something by the poorly
fed west, and, that something is the
growing evils which the fat stomachs
and surfeited pocketbooks of the east
obscure from eastern eyes. The west
suffers from monopolies and gets not
benefits therefrOm; the west suffers
from a creditor money standard and
gets no benefit therefrom; the west suf-
fers from excessive transportation
rates and gets no benefits therefrOm;
the west suffers from grain option
manipulation and gets no benefit there
from.
And until the does get benefit there
from, it will dispense with senatorial
dignity, if YOU please.

WALLER'S DILEMMA.

Poor John Waller still lanquiSheS in
that French prison, his wrongs forgot
ten in the greater international prob
lens confronting his country. Cleve-
land has been asked by congress for the
papers in the case, but they have not
been forthcoming. Cleveland permit
ted his secretary of state to- slap Eng
land in the face, and then cOwardly re-
Trains from a demand for the rights of
a man who equals himself as Il citizen
before the law. The reason assigned
for the presidents delay in transmit
ting to congress the papers in the Wal
Ter caSe-namely, that he expects the
imprisoned eX-conSul to be released
without further action on the part OF
this gOvernment-prOves the president
to be, in this affair at least, an extreme
ly guilelesS and contiding sort of per
son. We regret that we cannot join
with him in this view of the case.
France has made no concessions in be-
half of Waller except under direct and
vigorous pressure from this govern
ment. She has stubbOrply resisted
every effort TO ameliOrate the distress
of the unfortunate American citizen
now lying i'll and helpless in a French
prison, and the little favor that has
been extended 10 him has been pro
cured by insistent demands from
Washington. It IS only by continue
ton Of the same firm determined policy
that Waller will ever regain his liberty.
The idea of waiting for France to set
him free as a matter Of courtesy l. alb
Surd. The thing 10 do is TO demand
his release as a matter of justice.

A PLEA FOR ARMENIA.


Beyond the sea, there lies a land.
Fair as the fairest, bright and grand;
Yet in this nineteenth century,
There comes u wall across the sea
From lands afar there comes a cryi
Help, help-your pity or We dier'
But while that cry for mercy rings,
II neither help nor pity brings.
And does this Christian Albion'S land
Refuse to lend a helping hand
To poor Armenia'S living dead
To heroes who for freedom bled!
So. from thy contumacious child,
O Albion, a lesson mild
Now learn. Heed PHYS mournful call
Raised TO the God who heareth all.
Be nobler deeds thine 20 record.
And be forever Sheathed thy sword;
Let Peace and Pity play their part,
In ancient AIbion's empty heart.

Get Well and Stay We'll
Get Rid of What Makes You Sick
and Stay Rid of II.

1t is so simple to be well that we wonder
why there are so many sick people.
Come TO think about IL, must be because
they don't know what's made them sick.
If they knew that, they could prevent it,
and when they were sick, in some cases
cure themselves. But, 50 long as we don't
take more care of our health we shall al
ways be more or less sick.
The simple rules OF health are: Keep
clean, take exercise, eat good food, scour
out your stomach.
This last means: Don't tolerate indiges-
tion. Cure 1t with Shaker Digestive Cordial
A stomach full of undigested, fermented,
putrid food is the unhealthiest thing you
can think Of
Half our diseases and troubles come from
the poisons of undigested food. More than
half of them could be cured with Shaker
Digestive Cordial.
More than half, because often when we
think we are sick we are only weak. and a
course of nourishing food dIgested without
effort by the stomach with the aid oi
Shaker Digestive CordiaD would reinvlgorats
the whole system and make us well.
