Savannah Tribune: 1t is graft
flying to note the two colored men
who appeared last week before the
highest tribunal of the country
the supreme court of the United
States and there pleaded for the
recognition of Negro manhood
and citizenship. The lawyers
were Mr.. Jones OF Mississippi and
E. M. Hewlett Of Washington, d.
G. They were there in the inter
est of two colored men who were
convicted for murder in Missis-
sippi and who were tried by a
jury that members of their race
were excluded. This is the main
plea made, and the attorneys
showed good grounds for it too.
The decision is awaited with much
interest.

| A writer in the Iowa State Reg
lister, who is evidently too COW
ardly to sign his name, has an
article on the affairs of the First
precinct of the Second ward. He
says that "M. Halloran is the
regularly elected committeeman
"that since his removal j. A. Hal
loran has been recognized as act
ing in M. Halloran's stead" and
that R. N. Hyde has been OPP
pointed in M. Halloran's stead by
some mysterious means. By
what authority did j. A. Halloran
act for M. Halloran? In the first
place NJ. Halloran never was a
member of the city committee.
He has been a member Of the
county committee. r. n. Hyde
has been a member of the city
committee nearly ten years. These
facts we learn from good author
ity. The writer uses this following
language: ''1t now appears some
body has crucified and buried Hal
loran and appointed R. N. Hyde
as city committeeman for the pre-
cinct. 1t is no longer true that
AN Irishman, if he behaves him
self, is as good as a colored citi-
ZEN The animus of this quota
ton is apparent. 1t has nothing
to do with the formation of the
city committee. If there was any
thing irregular in its formation
there is a remedy. Whether M
Halloran is an Irish-American or
R. N. Hyde is an AfroAmerican
is not germane to the point that
the writer's attempts to make.
One thing is certain and that is
that is that the Irish Americans
and Afro Americans have given to
this country and the world the
best example of valor on the fields
of battle and the best example of
Judgment and honor in the var
ious avenues of life. This writer
and others are using more vehe
mence than Judgment in their anx-
iety to defeat some particular

as far as it goes. But what is the

are wrong when perpetrated by
Armenians, are they not to be
equally condemned when perpe
trated by Americans?

The question of having colored
men represented on the police
force according to their merit and
rank by long service should not be
allowed to sleep. There is moth
ing dormant in good politics or
good government. The time to
see about these matters is now.
The way to do it is to talk, act and
vote to the best advantage. At
tend the caucuses. Be present at
all the meetings. Do not be rep
resented by proxy. Do not let
one or two do all the work. No
one should be too old or too
young or too busy or too selfish
to be good, honest, hard work
ing Republican. The workers al
ways get the benefit. The men
who only come out and attend
meetings when seeking place for
self is sure to go down in defeat.
