JOHN BERRY 10 HANG.

John Berry, the fifteen year old
colored boy who killed Miss Clarke
near Marlboro, March 10Th, was
tried and convicted in Baltimore
last Monday, verdic' and sentenced
to be hang, being given on Tues
day. Here is lesson to our
intelligent Maryland negroes who
seem indiff, rent to damaging Gus
toms held over them. The negro
reform school is a place where they
send little childen who have no
parents or home, from the age of
five years old up. Here they are
kept in prison and restraint to be
hired out as servants and slaves all
over the state to any white person
who want servant. This was
John Berry's case, neglected when
a babe by his white father and
black. mamma in Frederick City,
his unnatual grandmother sent
him to the reform school without
proceedings at court, at seven
years of age because lie spent few
pennies of hers
He was sent there in 1891 and
hired out in 1897 as a servant to
the Clarkes, one whom he kille, to
effect his freedom, a thing he had
not tasted since he was child of
seven. Is this what our reform
schools are for? Has Maryland
negroes any stamina to ask the
humane Maryland white people
to change this evil: Miss
Clarke's death is directly to the
evils of the Maryland convict sys
tenn that permits taking child
and i'll place of parent care given
him the horrors of prison life
which will make any child desperate
and unba ance when grown up.
Berry says he wanted to get away
and knew he had to get rid of them
Of course he wanted to get away
from prison and of course his lack
of instruction led him to think he
must kill them. He has never had
one colored person to come and see
him since his first Imprisonment.
He plead hard to have the trial
wait till DR.. Johnson should arrive
from Washington to defend him.
After the trial he declared that if
he had beeiI defended by the color

POLECAT HOSPITALITY.

The q. S. Cruiser New Orleans,
is probably as fine craft as bears
the insignia of the majesty and
power of this government. Certain
ly the service performed by its
gallant captain and brave crew dur
ing very recent has won for them
unstinted praise wherever they
have gone. They are the true and
tried defenders of the 'tion who
left their homes and took chances
for life and honor in raging seas
and elemental storms anil the
thick hail of deadly missils in
order 10 demonstrate the manhood
valor and dignity of the American
people.
Genuine hospitality has received
them in many places and they have
been treated as Americans and
heroes. 1t remained however for
the people of the city after which
the splendid cruiser was named to
insult The flag and seek to humll-
late the brave soldiers.
The cruiser touched at New
Orleans for the purpose of recelv
ing silver service and bell in
acknowledgement Of its name. In
addition preparations were made
to provide feasts and other enter
tainment for the captain and crew,
when it became known that the
crew contained quite a goodly
numb,r of colored sailors, this
fact set the noble and truly
hospitable and patriotic people of
New Orleans to tongue wagging
and protesting. They were willing
to ride in the same carriages,
suckle at the same breast, drink
from the same bottle sleep in the
same bed, eat the same food with
the colored people; but to live in
city where brave colored sailors are
to be entertained along with their
captain and white mates, at pub
lie hall, in public manner was
more than the mudsill aristocracy
and apeing would-bes could stand.
AS a consequence Captain Long
necker was waited upon and in
formed that the patriotic and truly
people Of New Orleans
would in no wise consent to permit |
the colored sailors to eat In the |
same apartment with the whites, but |
that they must be separated from
the whites. if the show was to pro-
ceed and the animals 10 be fed. Of |
course the charitable creo es
thought their demand was modest
and truly noble and patriotic
and expected ready acquiescence
on the part of the captain. But
the captain did not propose to
separate his men. They had served
the government bravely and effec-
tively as true Americans. They
had fought together, eaten together,
prayed together and had agreed to
die together if need be in defense
of right, justice and humanity.
The captain found them black and
white together and would not now
WELD to the senseless demands of
land-lubbers whose only ground OF
objection was that of foolish,
mean and un-American provincial
ism more becoming Patagonians
than civilized people. Captain
Longnecker said as all truly brave
and just men would have said that
ssno such discrimination could be
drawn in the Navy and that the
crew would have to be taken as it
,ame." We thank Capt. Long
leeker for his manliness. The
,olored people as a class have no
pecial desire to eat with white

RESPONSE

The Executive in Washington Is
placed in delicate position, regarding
the labor questions which have arisen
here. While the Newlands' Resolution,
so far as that document, containing
general and in some respects vague
language, is concerned, permits Ha-
wall TO assist" immigrant labor, there
still remains decidedly the spirit
though not the letter Of the Federal
law which fOrbds it. AS the President
has assumed the power to suspend our
laws, as he has done in the election
case, he is open to the charge by his
enemies Of not suspenGing our assisted
immigration laws, so that neither Asia
tics nor Europeans can be aided to reach
these Islands. While the protection of
our own interests justifies him in per-
hitting us some latitude or privileges
in securing labor, during the transi-
ton period, it may not help him in
carrying his political possibilities
Congress, especially the Democratic
party, will attempt to hold the Pres
ident responsible for the policy pursued
by his officers in the local government.
Congress will not attempt to holu the
local government or the planters to
account for any violation of the spirit
of the American laws. The President
has, according to his own interpreta-
ton of the Resolution, arbitrary power
in our affairs and the whole respons-
Utility of what is done here will be put
upon him.
The lack of good representative in
Washington, from the hour of annexa-
ton until the transition period is COM
pleted, is deplorable blunder. No one
can be held especially responsible for
it. The public sentiment of the mer-
chants and the sugar interest has been
indifferent about it, and the govern
ment has been crippled by a lack of
appropriations. An active representa-
tive, acceptable TO the Washington
authorities, would have prevented these
misunderstanding winch have lately
occurred

for what remains. And then Mrs
(Betsey) Darlington, on her return to
Richmond writes TO her sister Nancy
OF the earlier years of their lives, of
their infirm mother, and of their father;
for Notwithstanding the father
held an office which afforded little
leisure for such employment, every
hour from business was devoted to u.s.
And he educated these courtly Nir-
ginia girls. But she writes; The Rod
at that time was an instrument never
to be dispensed with, and our dear
father used it most conscientiously."
she also writes; We were forced to
industry, to appear genteelly; to study
manners to supply the place of educa-
ton" She mentions incidents which
interest every American who knows
and reverences the character of the il
| lustrious Marshall, first Chief Justice
| of the United States. He was a captain
| in the army, and had taken a three
months course of law study. Mrs. Car
rington writes that he was expected
in town, and all of the girls wanted

| younger sister Mary, only fourteen
years of age, set her cap for him. y

| trivial now seem such objections.

THE OLD DAYS
occurred.

There is a pretty picture of life in
drawn in AN Old Virginia Correspon-
dence,' and published in the Atlantic
Monthly. The young people, who
should read it, will find that with all
of the innumerable accessons of
modern improvements, brought to us
in these later days by the restless in
ventOrs and promoters, the human
heart beats as it did of Old and it
finds none of these marvellous modern
conveniences add much ecstasy to it's
beatings.
These letters are occasional, and
cover long period. Miss Willard
Smith who lives in Yorktown, Va.
and is only sixteen years of age writes
in 1850, to Miss Betsey Amber who is
only fifteen years of age, and lives in
Richmond, Va Miss Mildred shows in
her letters the high breeding and form
ality of a Virginia girl and tells her
friend that the French war ships, I'M
der Count Rochambeau (the time was
just before the surrender of Cornwall
lis), are in port, and she confides to
Miss Betsey some observations on love
affairs. Miss Betsey, aged fifteen. re-
plies at length in choice and stately
language. which few of the college
bred girls of today could excel. She
tells Miss Mildred that she had been
TO a ball at the Palace in Williams
burgh, and played off a thousand airs
which would have provoked lecture
from YOU an hour long" And then
she speaks of one Marshall who was
devoted to her sister at the ball. Miss
Betseys father, Richard Amber, was
first treasurer of Virginia, and with
his numerous family of girls, is driver
