states alone, but is discoverable in the
very birthplace of the abolition move
ment An incident which occurred in
Havana recently has suggested that
we may possibly be about to learn
something from our new associates,
whatever we may be able to teach
them. ..
An American saloonkeeper went to
Havana and opened an establishment
for the sale of refreshments to the
public. He was patronized by numer-
GUS convivial spirits, and, among
others, by a group Of Cuban gentle
men whose skins were no darker than
was justified by Southern birth and
tropic suns. These gentlemen, sitting
at a table in the American saloon one
day, beckoned to a friend of theirs,
also a Cuban, but a black one, and, as
it happened, a general, to join them.
He was about to do so when he was
informed by the proprietor that mig
gers would not be served" The case
was taken to Senior Mora, civil gov
ernor of Cuba, who consulted with
Gen. Ludlow. The American was or
dered to make amends, race distinc-
lions being against the Cuban law.
He refused to do so, and his cafe was
closed by order of the governor, as Of
course, it ought to have been.
This story reflects SO unadmirably
upon our fellow-countryman tina we
cannot help hoping that it may not
only prevent a similar occurrence in
the case of some other transplanted
publican, but that it may serve,
wherever it becomes known, to show
his attitude and that of others like
him in it's true light. We are the only
respectable white race that carries
this prejudice to the insane point, and
weare the one of them all that has the
least right to do it from any point of
view whatever. Our cousins, the Eng
lish, treat colored men in precisely the
same way as they do white men
drawing the line, but drawing it at
the rank and condition of the individ-
ual, not at the color of his skin. No
Englishman would dream of refusing
to sit at the table with Booker Wash
ington or Paul Dunbar, and the latter,
during his sojourn in England, was
received precisely as any other young
American writer would have been-on
his literary merits, or the effectiveness
Of his advertising, according to the
standards of the persons concerned.
There is some reason to hope that the
new relations into which we are about
to be thrown with other races may
broaden our ideas in this respect and
improve our manners.

An Educational Feature,

- seems possible that there may be
::ore than one desirable educational
feature for the American people in
the management of their new acquisi-
lions. The most easily substantiated
reproach that has been brought
against us in the past has been our
bigoted provincialism, and we have
manifested it in no more Illogical fash
ion than in our respect for our own
color line The hereditary instinct, if
it exists, which bids us observe such a
line is of altogether too recent date to
be eminently respectable in its pedi-;
gree. A few generations of slavehold-
ing ancestors can scarcely Undue their.
descendants with contempt for men.

estors of those men were born in

most irrational and offensive observ-
lnce of the color line is by no means
found in the former slaveholding

that is the reason why two detectives
