The Stars Timely EdifOriaI
w WASNINGTON. d. c.. December 81 1S9

L,
TO the Editor of The Evening Star:
As member of a race whose misfor-
tune it is to be misunderstood and ma
lgned, l desire to thank you for your very
timely editorial in your yesterdays edition.
in which you condemn the Incorporate,
incendiary and anarchistic utterances de-
liyered by Editor Fortune in Zion Church,
this city, on the 10Th instant.
Such language Mr.. Fortune is reported
TO have used can do no cause any good,
and while for the moment it may have
taken his hearers off their feet
sober second thought will convince every
thoughtful man and woman who listened
TO 1t that the spirit was bad, the sentiment
worse, and that IL can have no other than
deleterious effect upon the negro's cause,
and, on account of your manifest fairness
and friendliness in dealing with all race
questions, no paper in the land can better
afford to say this than yours.
The purpose Of the leading negroes IN this
country is to appeal their case, not to an
Grafton of the American people. Their ef-
forts are now directed toward building up
sentiment, not sectional, but al over
the country, That will protect them in the
full enjoyment OF the rights guaranteed by
the organic laws of the land. This senti-
ment cannot grow out of infamma tory and
incendiaIy utterances; We cannot sue for
peace and obtain II by melting riot, and
| the man or men among us attempting sush
a course will justly bring down upon them
selves the righteous condemnation of an
| outraged people.
| people no one who knows him can have
| any doubt, but that his method Of doing
/ SO is the most effective way to fail will
| suggest itself TO no people quicker than

SAFETY ON IsTEEp GRADES.
A New Contrivancet That VIII BE q
Boon for B&cyclfsts.


Ever since bicycles hrst became popular
riders who are not in the class known as
experts have been confronted with the diff
iculty of safely eontrolling their wheels
on down grades and tin crowded places.
Countless accidents have been due to this
drawback, but study and persistent expert
ment have at last overcome this problem
and the ingenious contrivance known as the
automatic coaster and brake, with which
Eclipse bicycles will beifitted in 1899, is the
result. 1t has stood the vigorous tests of a
year and has proven itself as reliable as n
grindstone. 1t would seem that the simple
sentiment of f-preserva ton should die
tate to every bicyclist, the wisdom of hav
ing his or her wheel fitted with an auto
matte coaster and brake. They may be
seen at 14th and H streets, where Manager
j. d. Lasley will explain all about them.

Only Political ASsnssinatiOn,

Is
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The cOlored people throughout this coun-
try are aware that The Star is their friend.
L know, from my personal acquaintance
with the editor, that he believes in law and
order among all classes of citizens. In an
editorial in your issue of the 10Th instant
you have been led to believe that Editor r
Thomas Fortune, who was introduced to
the National Racial Protective Association
last Monday evening, made use of anarch-
istic uttCrances in that he favored or hnted
at assassination. MIR Fortunes utterances
were in a political sense. He meant no per-
sonal or physical violence to any one.
1t is true that he opposed the method that
the President is adopting in the unifcation
of the north and the south. Mr.. Fortune
may he impulsive, but is harmless The
cOlored people know just how far to go, and
just how far to be led. They will not be led
into danger nor will they blindly follow
man who may be antagOnistic to good gov
crnment.
So far as the National Racial Protective
Association is concerned its objects and
aims are to ameliorate the condition of the
colored people by appealing to the sober
Judgment of the predominant and more
thoughtful people throughout the United
States. 1t Will do that by peaceful means
and not with Winchesters-not with the
torch or the shotgun. If the entire utter
ances of Mr.. Fortune had been reported you
could nave readily seen that he did not ad-
vcCate physical assassination The colored
people are not slow to believe that every
white person is inimical to them They
know that they are here by Sufferance.
They know that the government is in the
hands and under the control of the proud
Caucasians. They know also that any at
tempt on their part, either north or south,
to appeal to arms or to the torch would be
Immediate auuihilatiCn,
Be charitable, as know you are, and don't
judge Mr.. Fortune harshly. The coored
people are law-abidins citizens. They love
their country. They are loyal to the flag,
and true to the President of the United
States, notwithstanding the construction
that may have been placed on the utter
ances of Mr. Fortune.
My people have duty to perform, and
they will perform that duty without vio
lence to any one. They know, to a great
extent, that their leadership is apologetic.
They know that their elevation in life de-
pends on unity of action, obedience to the
laws. education and industry.
