To the Editor of the Transcript:
To the colored student in the
North it sometimes seems that he 10
in the land OF the noble free. He
can work, play, sturdy, eat and
drink and sleep with his white col
leagues, and he grows up under the
delusion that he is a man. But just
as he begins to stretch his un-
shackled limbs and perform the
functions Of free citizen, he is pitt
fully reminded that he is, and even
will be, an uncanny being, a strand
ed creature from an unknown sea,
one whose forlornnes and grotes-
queness touches the compassion of a
few
1t happened the other day that a
classmate, white gentleman, joined
me for little outing, and we went
to Kennebunkport, Me. We arrived
at that beloved and favored resort
Sunday morning, and engaged a
room and board at the Parker
House. We got our breakfast with
the other hungry beings. Then,
after taking walk on the beach,
we went to church and Sunday
school, greeted old friends, made
new ones, and then went back to the
hotel to satisfy the inner man once
more. But alasl | was informed,
just as dinner was announced, that

Timely Topics.


You have tried and tested
our AEkMOTORS and prov
ed them to be the best mill
ever made, and you know
that we have them in all sizes
8, 10, II, Ia and l6 both in
gear and pumping mills.
Our geared Aermotors af-
ford you all the motive pow
er you require around your
ranch. 1t will drive machi-
merry, saw wood, chop feed,
grind grain and shell corn
and do anything is the line
besides pumping water.
Having the water you neces-
sarilly require the
AERMOTOR STOCK TANKS.
This desiderata are some
thing novel and just imported
by us, and we have already
sent a dozen of them to
Honolulu and Kahuku
Ranches. These tanks never
leak, and there are no mud
holes around them. They
ship nested, and are just as
sure to drive the wooden tank
out of existence as the Aer-
motor drove out the wooden
windmill. There are many rea-
son why this galvanized Tank
is superior. 1t is light. ships
nested, is easy to handle, re-
quires no setting up, never
leaks and does not dry and
fall down if all the water gets
out Of it; but, of course,
where the Aermotor is used,
his need never happen, as it
runs with so little wind that
a dry tank is scarcely known.

Southerner had entered a COM
plant against me, and hence l must
eat in the kitchen or not eat at all
The young friend who was with me
could eat with the rest; but the
sight OF me in the dining room, eat
ing, was nauseous to some guest.
We both were pricked to the very
heart at the thought of such con-
dition Of things, but we paid our
bills and shook the dust from off
our feet.
1t is indeed both amusing aud
pitifIl that the colored man cannot
eat in the hotels when he is hungry,
even though the summer season is
over and the guests are nearly all
gone; and all this country is the
same in that respect, Maine in
cludedl
They tell us to stop whining and
take our medicine. We have taken
that very prescription for nearly
Fifty years, and yet the pain still
hangs around our hearts, ever be-
coming more and excruciating. The
whim of a single individual will
hinder a hungry colored man from
his dinner; though he can pay for it
twice over. The colored man story
is like that Of the toad which spoke
thus to the boys who were stoning
him: "This, my young friends, 10
fun for you, but it is death for me-"
Indeed, the darkest hour which can
come upon young man Of aspira-
tion is that in which he sees the
world in all its beauties and
grandeur, its opportunities and re.
sponsibilities, feels its impulses, and
yet knows that he himself can have
no part in it. Why should the
negro in America aspire to any
thing2 There is no premium ON his
aspiration! 1t will be the greatest
wonder Of history that the negroes
were not all criminals, for at the
present time all places Of vice and
crime are open to him, but when he
INDUCES his higher nature, the
white man calls him bumptious.
Certainly when they drove me from
the Parker House last week, any
body who did not understand the
matter would have taken me for a
criminal, and secretly felt that l
was so considered. The young man

Mr.. Morgan did not explain what
these rights and privileges are, or
whether the Hawaiians would i'm
prove their political and social con-
ditions by obtaining the same rights
as the 10000 colored people in the
country where the Senator has his
home. 1t is perfectly true that the
Constitution of the United States
contains clause granting to all
citizens equal rights, ETC., irrespec-
tive OF color or religion. Mr.. Nor
gan fought bravely in the battle
fields of the States against the arti-
ole, which nominally gives to the
negro the same political rights as
enjoyed by the white man. His
cause was defeated, hut he and his
party have never ceased their hostil-
ity towards the colored people, and
they have 80 far succeeded in
keeping them down socially and
otherwise, and in their un-Christian
arrogance heaped insults and hu-
initiation on the heads of the colored
races.

In case of annexation the Hawai-
ians will be treated in the United
States, as are the "colored" citizens
of that GLORIOUS" republic. They
may be allowed to hold down the
verandahs of the mansions of their
white brethren on great occasions,
and they may gracefully be asked to
eat in the back kitchen, but they
will very soon receive proofs that
they socially at least are built Of a
different and poorer clay that the
"noble" Anglo-Saxens of the Nor
gan type.

treated as negroes, as he assured
them in his address, that they will
not be treated as indiana Past ex-
perience tells them, however, that
in the United States the white peo-
pie are not over anxious TO find out,
where a colored person comes from.
As long as his skin is not as white
as their own, he will be treated with
contemp pit and as an inferior being.

The Hawaiians are sufficiently
posted to know exactly how they
would be treated if tho islands
should be annexed. Those who be-
lieve in Mr.. Morgan's empty words
and have been blinded by his assur-
ancss, that they will be treated as
all free American citizens are sup
posed to be, ought to carefully read
a letter which we publish in this is
sue, and which appeared in recent
number of the Boston Transcript,
one of the leading journals of the
United States. The letter is written
by Thomas S. Bruce, colored stu
dent, and it throws a strong light
on that portion of Senator Morgan's
address to Hawaiians, in which he
said that colored men in his State
had all the rights aud privileges of
white men. This may be the case
in Alabama, but we have strong
doubts as to the fact. 1t is the case,
as stated in Mr.. Bruoe's letter, that
in the State Of Maine, the State our
United States Minister halls from, a
colored man was refused dinner at
a public house because of the pro-
test OF Southern man, possibly
from Alabama. The colored man
was told that he could eat his meal
in the kitchen. Do the Hawaiians
wish to be relegated to the kitchen
in Hawaii

We could fill columns in enunciat
log instances, where Hawaiians have
been humiliated 10 the United States
as much, as were Mr.. Bruce and his
white friend in Maine, on account
OF their color. A gentleman, related
to President Dole, with a slight
streak of Hawaiian blood in his
veins resided in the State of Oregon,
where he wanted to marry his
fancee, a white lady. The laws of
Oregon prevented such a marriage,
and the couple were obliged to
move to the State OF Washington,
whore the ceremony took place.
Will Senator Morgan arise and ex-
plain to the Hawaiians, whether
laws like those Of Oregon indicate,
that the Hawaiians will have the
same rights as other citizens after
anpexation2

colored American from the North,
who also was in New Orleans on
some official business. Our COM

the club for refreshments, and he
felt both surprised and humiliated,
when the bartender shrugged his

commissioner, that he could serve
him but not the "person" in his

that no man with colored blood
