After the performance at the Lyceum
ron the 9th inst, for the benefit of Salem
Baptist church; those who who came up
from Chicago to take part went to tho
box Office and demanded their pay, but
were informed there was no cash in the
offiee with which to pay them. They
then went to their hotel and sent for
manager Young. When Mr.. Young put
in an appearance they again demanded
their mopey but tho professor failed to
produce. They made rush for manager
Young and then: There was hot time
in old town. No one was serionsly in
iured, only q few scratches and BACKED
eyes. The Professor after all was over,
sang, "I'm holding right on to my bo-
odle," aud II was up against the real
thing then"
The neanest people in the world are
those who try to make others believe
that there is nothing in an Afro-Ameri-
can paper to read, and at the came time
he or his wife will go to their neighbors
and read paper thateome one else has
paid for, just because thsy are too mean
to buy paper. One will hesr that same
class of people say that not one of our
race should fight against Spain, and that
we have nothing to fight for. II this
class of the race would read the Afro
American papers, they would he better
informed. Everv citizen is9 bound
to assist in protecting his cou:. 2 ~ honor
An Afro-American has ther~ IA rights
before the United States Gov:i4= nent as
any other man. The Government an
not interfere with state riRhts. Have
orufG,inO n f(.hf FIR? hv If
course you have. We find in tn h
of Mexico that as early az 1929 the Spani
ards had black soldiers there fighting
the Indians. and that thousands ofthems
died with small PIX. Also We find that
in 1916, the Spainards introduced lynch
law on this continent. In the above
year they hung 80 black soldiers in a
row upon piazza, 60 you can readily see
that an Afro-American has something
against the Spainard to fight for. From
14l4 up to 1865: 45l years, the Spaniardss
murdered and burned upwards Of 800,
600 Indians and Negroes. We hope
never to hear another stupid Airo-Am-
erican say that he has nothing to fight
for, again. All such classes of people
should read more and talk less.
The complaint in an action asking for
$4,000 dams ges was filed in the Circuit
court yesterday by W. T. Green an at.
torney, aud j. J. Miles, head waiter at
the Plankinton House, bath Afro.Am-
orleans, against the officers Of the: sMu-
nicipsl league. The defendants named
in the document are John A. Butler,
president OF the league; Charles +. Mon
roe, the secretary. aud Paul Stang, John
j. Miles being the plaintiff. 1t is alleged
tnat the members Of the League consplr-
I'd together and formed political organ
1zation to mold public opinion and give
themselves notoriety and distinction.
The whole document is prepared in a
spirit of sarcasm on the methods of the
league. After the usual legal pre|irin-
ariee, the complaint starts in with its
rony. It says that the defendants are
prominent citizens of Milwaukee, linen
of extraordinary intelligence and exalted
character, members of different political
parties, but each one better than his
party, and were desirious OF forming a
political organization which would bring
before the people of the state of Wiscon
sin in strong relief the exalted character
