1--WE, unjust discrimination, and satIrical
remarks, HENDERSON TAYLOR
It is far from the intention Of The Times
to indulge in unjust discrimination, in
vectiye, or satire at the expense of any
race OF people; but there is IA considerable
amount of sound sense In the foregoing
remarks The general public does not
care very much, so long as good work is
done, whether the person who does it
is black, white, or yellow. This country
is large enough for all races of people to
find place and Job; and while people
of the same race necessarily have the same
interests to a certain extent the same oc-
cupations and the same character. there
is no more reason why the colored man
should be persstently reminded of his
color than there is In the case of any
other individual, and no more reason why
all individuals of negro blood should be
regarded as equal than there would be in
the case of the Chinese or the Japanese,
the Caucasian or any other race. We
agree with MI Henderson Taylor and beg
him to accept the assurances of our dis
tinguished consideration.

"when the Cats Away.

President Mckinley probably regrets that

little while ago the Administration
secuted a recognition of Cuban bclliger-
ency, because it was alleged that the
patriots neither possessed an organized
civil government, tangible army in the
field, nor seaport. The authorities of
the United States know from indubitable
evidence that the free Republic of Cuba

FERRARI'S BODY BURIED.
Remains of Mrs. GIulianO's Slayer

The body of Jacopo Ferrari, the ItaI

q nameless grave in potter's field yester-

relatives and friends, was inferred also
yesterday in a picturesque site in Mount
Olivet Cemetery, after receiving the last

FerTari's hearse was the dingy dead
wagon, drawn by a bony corporation
horse, and his remains were encased in a
plain pine coffin, made by workfiouse con
victs. Being a suicide, as well as a ,nur-

Catholic church, and there were none
