THR PRESIDENTS VISIT.

PRESIDENT WILLIAM Mckinney was
the guest Of this city on Tuesday last,
and his welcome was enthusiastic.
Politics was forgotten, and the doors
Of Virgins were opened wide.
The distinguished guest seemed to
be particularly grstified over what he
termed reunited country" We pre-
sumed by this that the rancor of the
past has gone never TO return and that
north. and south. east and west will
work for the rehabiimenS and prosper
ity of the union.
We hope that this is so. We have
not forgotten and the trades parade
gave abundant evidence OF it that
when the mills and factories are open
to white men, there will always De
found some kind Of employment for
colored ones as well.
The colered people OF this communi-
ty would no doubs have awaited them
selves Of the opportunity to greet the
Chief Executive Of the nation but the
hoselin which he was domiciled closes
its doors against the citizen Of color
unless perchance he seeks admission
there as a servant.
Self-respecting colored men did not
care to intrude, therefore, where their
presence was not wanted, and made
themselves contented by reading tht
accounts Of the visit in the newsps'
pers.
President MCKINLEY was royalty en-
tertsined and all classes OF citizens,
itch and poor, white and black are
gratifisd at this specific exercise Of
Virginia hospitality. The colored
brother is humble, kind, trActsble, un-
assuming. Call again, Mr.. President
