Star, Post and Times have studiously

Star, Post and Times have studiously
refrained from discussing this theater
discrimination and have refused to
publish any of the dozen letters We
know they have received, touching the
incident. The Weatherless case was
so badly garbled and distorted in the
news columns until the public mird
was at loss to see why that estimable
gentleman was not locked up as dan
gerous character to be at large, and
that Chase's law resking tactics were
the acts OF broad'minded philanthro-
pist. The colored journal has been
and is, our only forum. In it alone
have we been able to secure hearing
for our cause. Yet, in spite Of its
manly defence of Negro rights and
Negro manhood, we still have few
smart alecks among US who insist that
a Negro newspaper is "no good"

IHE TENANT PAYS HE lax,

We are delighted to note the
healthy interest taken by our people il
recent municipal contests, large votes
being polled in city elections where no
issue touching color was involved. The
colored man owns property or pays
rent, and is therefore detp interested
in all that concerns the city's welfare
general tax rate, water and gas
charges, railway grants, public light
ing contracts, and the honest admins
tratlon Of these trusts by the officials
elected. On such questions partisan
considerations should count for very
little. They belong almost purely to
the domain of practical business ard
support should be cheerfully accorded
to the ticket or ind viduals that seem
most likely to give the people the
wisest and best government. Municipal
is of high Importance to
the colored man whether he OWLS or
rents, for it must be remembered that
in all cases, the tenant pays the taxes.

psLnERs CHANCE TO MAKE GOOD"

The coming of Congress will make
necessary heavy increase in the force
at the Government Printing Office. In
dispensing this patronage, Public
Printer Palmer should see to it that
the colsred people are not overlooked.
He has almost absolute control over
more places than any other officer in
the government, and the majority of
them call for work that any person OF
average intelligence can fill. There is
room and opportunity to give us many
printers, folders, stitchers, gatherers,
boxers, counters, helpers and laborers,
and it would also be big feather in
MIR. Palmer's cap to name another
clerk and foreman and thus break the
record now held by the democratic Pub
Jic Printer Benedict. The republicans
owe it to themselves to outdo the demo.
Gratis at every point in recognizing the
faithful Negro. The Public Printers
hands are "untied." Let him give his
arm full swing, and the
Negro people will rise up and call him
blessed.

Mr. WHITES BILL,

Congressman Whites bill to pre-
vent lynchlng and to permit the co
operation of federal off ,ials in enfore,
ing the laws when the state is unwill-
n. or unable to afford adequate pro
lection to persons accused of crime, will
be introduced shortly after the opening
of the session OF Congress. Mr.. White
is extremely anxious to draw up a
measure that will accord with the Con-
stitution and command the united sup
port of all who are honestly seeking a
remedy for existing evils, and to this
end he and Mr. Daniel Murray have
held several conferences with Attorney
General Griggs and other gentlemen
high in authority. The President has
promised his aid to Mr.. Whites
measure. The subject promises to be
one of the most signicdnt issues to be
argued in the coming Congress. The
race should stand as one man behind
Mr. White and see that something is
done to stop this wholesale BUTCH ry of
our people in many states of the land
