A Southern Outrage.
Memphis Commercial-Appeal.

Memphis COmmercial-Appeal.
The New York Mail and Express gets
very red in the face over a Southern
outrage that recently occurred in Hart
ford, Conn. 1t seems that Prof. Fris-
sell, of the Hampton Institute, was on a
lecture tour in New England and had
with him five negro youths, graduates of
the institute. All the hotel proprietors in
the city refused to admit the negroes.
and they had to be cared for by private
citizens, probably of their own race
Commenting on this truly damnable
outrage the Mail and Express says:
"The treatment received at Hartford
yesterday by a party of five colored
graduates OF the Hampton Normal and
Agricultural Institute, who accompa-
MED Principal Frisseli on a lecture
trip, is a repr0ach and a disgrace to a
New England commonwealth which is
accustomed to comment with commend
the negro in many of the Southern
States. Hartford's broad mindedness
is apparently confined to theory, for in
practice every hotel and boarding
house closed it's doors to these young
colOred people, leaving them without
a refuge until several indignant citi-
zens opened their houses and sought by
private hospitality to remove the sting
of the public insult. Let Hartford
he%nceforth be silent on the negro prob
lem in the South, and let Connecticut
be equally silent until it %repudiates
the outrage perpetrated by it's capital
city,"
Tie hotel proprietors are not to
blame, however. They said that with
them it was purely a matter of bust
ness. Their guests would not allow it.
So strong was the public prejudice
against the negro that it would destroy
the patronage of any hotel to receive
negroes as guests. The Mail and Ex-
press therefore is right 10 laying the
blame, if blame there be, on the gene
raj public rather than on the hotels.
But what is the use in kicking up a fuss
over such matters7 Race prejudice is
strong in every part of the country,
and it is a part of the white mans ma
ture to tolerate nothing like equality
with an inferior race. You can't reason
with this prejudice MOI howl it down
with abuse. The only really signii-
cant fact about the matter is that this
was done in a section and among a peo-
pie who would have foamed with rage
il it had occurred south of Mason and
Dixon's line. It has simply served to
exemplify the thorough hypocrisy of
those who love the negro only 80 long
as he doesen't come within nose-shot of
tIemsel ves.

Our community was greatly shocked on Sun
day morning when it was nown that Mrs.
Emile Donate had died suddenly the night
previous.
This worthy lady, whose maiden name was
Helen Roberts, was the wife Of one of our ster-
ling c0l0red citizens, Emile Donate. She had
lived in our midst since 1867, being q native of
the West India Islands.
I Since that time she has followed successfully
the avOcatiOn Of teaching.
Mrs.ID0na t0 was . woman highly respected
by all classes, her loss will be severely felt
by all who knew her, and. especially by the peo-
pie OF her own color.
She had done q great deal towards advancing
the educational interest OF her people and espe-
cially that Of her own immediate family. The
community at large will extend their sfncerest
sympathyt to. her Borrowing relatives in this,
their hour Of great distress.
N Peace to her ashes. 49, ~
