mayor Doran Changes His Mind
About Female VocaIists.


Mayor Doran has again hedged in

Mayor DOran issued his closing order
oI last week, but this was one of tile
concessions upon which the city's chief
executive insisted when he concluded
ne had made mistake in the case Of
the IIvoh. Notwithstanding that the
mayor mad changed his mind again for
me oeheilt OF the TiVon, the proprietor
Is niue conSoled for the damage done
MS business, for though the female
vocailst or the evening, handicapped by
tle nelght or her collar sang at her
pest, there was no audience to appIaud
beF EFFORTS, except the corps of walters
ana the policeman on the beat who
several Gays ago, had been instructed
70 allow the woman to appear on the
SlaSe. When the vocalist had concIud
ed each Of her turns" the walters
ana the policeman were entertained in
the interim by selections by the orches-
ira, composed of Mr.. Straka's daupb-
tefs, Tor Mayor DOran had also con
serted TO the presence of music at the
I1VOH, and likewise to its rendition
by the Womens' orchestra.
The permission for the reopenine or
the I1Voli and the presence of women
performers was given Mr. Straka
saturday. He had been at a financial
loss since the closing of his place. and
AFTER putting up with existing condi-
tons until his forbearance was ex-
hausted, Mr.. Straka called upon a num-
per OF his friends to whom he stated
the situation. They were INDIGNANT at
me course OF the mayor and a COM
H!lttee was appointed to confer with

Doran without the slightest semblance
OF rear and trembling and asked" that

1t was the city's chief executive, but
with an ease of conversation Of which
ne is regarded as sole proprietor he
came to regard an evil of a few DAYS
previous as a perfectly legitimate en-
lerIalnment, so far as the Tiyou was
concerned, and granted the request
OF the committee. Some kind Of a
front must be put up, however. and
the mayor was like the Rock of GibraI-
tar in restricting the female performers

announcer condition was that there
should be no concerts on Sunday.
The mayors alternative was accent
ed, and the Tivoli artists played to an
empty house Saturday night while a
number of Mr.. Straka's German friends
and their families were turned away
from the place Sunday. The discour-
agement Of last night has decided Mr..

Annapolis applications and entrance
admissions must necessarily be few.
The idea that we ought to duplicate
our military and naval educational
establishments because the ambitious
youths who have been recommended
by their representatives do not wish to
associate with those not of their own
color Is worthy Of the attitude Of the
South before the war.
The astonishing suggestion is all the
more offensive since it proposes that
the United States government shall
confirm the feeling of supercilious hos
tility that has been rejected by the
great private educational institutions
Of the country. Our colleges and uni
versities do not draw the color line.
Through the greatest and proudest of
them colored men have gone with the
approval and sympathy of their white
fellows. High honors have been given
at Yale and other colleges to negro stu
dents, and they suffered no indignity
in their college life.
This, which was true where a whole
some public opinion existed, where stu
dents are young men and not cads,
which prevailed where there was no
sense of elevation above the rest of the
| community, no silly idea Of superiority,
ought to be true of those institutions
which are supported by the whole peo-
pie. If it is not, the 500 er they are
remodeled from top to bottom the bet
ter. If there is any such state
! of feeling at West Point al'd
| at Annapolis as makes It either
! impossible or uncomfortable for
a colored youth who has passed his ex-
aminations creditably to pursue his
j studies, then those institutions stand
condemned, and the people will not be
slow in expressing their opil ION
when they become aware Of the un-
! pleasant fact. Not in the interest Of
either race, but for the credit of the
schools which the bounty Of the nation
has founded and sustained, we hope
that no more will be heard Of pro-
posal to elevate and dignity the color
| line, and to stamp races. by the ma
| TONS hand. with the brand Of Unequal

Charles Smith and Frances La Clair
Were Not DisorderIy.

Lieut.. Babe and Officer Perro, who
arrested Charles Smith and Frances
La Clair Saturday night on charge
of disorderly conduct, were unable to
substantiate the charge in court and
the prisoners were discharged. The

Smith had met the girl returning from
a dance and accompanied her toward
the house of a young lady friend on
Temperance street. The La Clair girl,
instead Of going to her home in West
St. Paul, intended remaining with her
friend. According to her testimony
she and Smith were simply standing
on the corner talking, when the police
officers came along and placed them
under arrest. The police claimed the
couple had taken refuge in doorway
and that their conduct warranted the
arrest Judge Twohy could see moth
ing in the testimony to warrant the
arrest Of peaceful citizens upon the
public streets. even If the hour was
somewhat late, and ordered the prison

Much comment has been aroused
throughout the country by the Juror
following the proposed admission of a
colored youth as a cadet in the Annap-
oils naval academy. 1t is understood
that the unpleasant experiences of that
representative of his race who entered
West Point some time ago will be re-
peated in his case. We have heard a
good deal of what has been said on
both sides, but it remains for a Re
publican newspaper, counting itself the
champion Of the freedman, and loving
every opportunity to preach crusade
against the peace and prosperity Of
the South, to suggest that the difficulty
should be met by IAN additional mill
tary and naval school exclusively for
the benefit of our aspiring eel
ored population" That is to
say, because there are few
prigs at West Point and Annapolis who
choose to draw the color line, the Unit
ed States government should recognize
it and confirm it, at the cost of Great
ing two more expensive institutions to
prepare young colored men for the
army and the navy.
If there could be a proposition more
insulting to the race, more plainly sub
versive of the theory Of equal civil
rights, we cannot imagine what it is.
The establishment Of separate schools
in communities whose population is di-
vided with some equality between the
two races is a practical and desirable
arrangement It is preferred by both
parties. In the case of West Point and
