This certainly is cosmopolitan
country. in parts they cannot treat
us brutal enough, while in other
parts they will recognize merits and
ability, but We trust ere long that
those brrtes who treat US 50 shame
fully vii. be severely punished for
their actions.
We ,sabhor the idea Of criticising
our own people the way they con-
duct themselves at clubs meetings
Of our race, an We are going to take
the liberty now to censure some Of
the members of the Mems Sunday
club, for a person who had never at
aended a meeting Of this club, and
to have been there last Sunday it
would certainly have given him a
poor conception of the clubs meet
ing, in fact he would hate to admit
that he belonged to a race that could
not meet two hours without having
discussion. On the % ult., there
was some amendments adopted to
the constitution that did not meet
the approval Of certain faction, so
they rallied their supports and came
last Sunday prepared to run things
their way, but the president would
not recognize thsm so they were SO
petit that they would not keep order
or take their seats when asked by
the president, and after asking them
time and again to resume their seats,
they would not respect his entreaties,
so 3 motion to adjourn was in order
which was carried and the consquen-
ces are there was no program rend-
cred, and good loyal members Of
the club that had spent car fare and
lost time in preparing their speeches
and coming there expecting to hear
good program were disapp ointed.
It's time that such men as John P.
Jones should be expelled from the
club, itwould certainly be q bless
ing; he would not take his seat after
shAinp hissed and ieared NV time and
