What We would like to know lie: Why
were Professors ond Princip .ls not half
90 hard to please in the way of accomo-
.dations as some under tor hers whose

dollars? When you find ,ople so hard
to please all you need do is to 20 TO their
homes and you will prob IDLY 6nd them
living in garrets or Easements. No we'll
bred pelson will ever forget their stand
ing, There is no city In America whe re
| Afro-Americans live better in their
homes than in the city OF Milwaukee.

open their homes to strangers. They

Hon. w. T. Green delivered an able
address of welcome at Lincoln Hall en-
the 9TH inst to the Afro-Americans
visitors. Prof Thomas of Washington D.
c., responded ably in behalf of the
visitors. The only ur p easant occurance
was that scme one of the committee
over stepped his authority by not
allowing Ill Arc Americ ADS Of respect
ability to enter the hall. We should like
very much to obtain water from the
same spring as did the committee in
order that We might grow in greatness,
for they certainly were modern Alexan-
ders presumably from the manner in
which they debarred respectable people
from q hall which was furnished by the
local com mittee. ..-. 49,.
