A GREAT SPEECH.

The address delivered by DR..
George I'll. Richardson before the
graduating class of Manassas In
dustrial Institute on the 2nd inst,
was said by competent critics to
have been one cf the most power
full and eloquent addresses ever
delivered by a colored man upon the
subject of "Industrial EducaGion."
Commissioner Carroll D. Wright;
who is pres dent of the institute,
stated that the address was the most
eloquent he had ever heard on the
subject and requested DR. Richard
son to have it published in pam
phlet form. Rev. Walter Brooks
coincided with Commissioner
Wright as did Mr.. James Merri-
wether and Rev. Howard. It is a
compliment to DR.. Richardson that
so distinguished man as the q. S
Commissioner of Labor should
speak so fatteringly and we con-
gratulate our friend upon his
success.

THERE WAS A MURDER.

We have anxiously awaited an
editorial from some of our white
local papers on the murderous and
brutal killing of "a soldier of the
5th Immune Regiment by his com
rade, Dock Thorpe, and the wound
ing of one of our most efficient
policemen Of the District. This
killing and assault is only one of
the many that have been commit
ted by white volunteers in many
of the States. 1t is certainly a
disgrace to the volunteer troops
who fought so bravely in Cuba and
are now doing the same IN the
Philippines. some of our white
papers took great delight, notably
the Washington Post, in attacking
the colored soldiers for any breach
of discipline OF misconduct, when
being mustered out. or en- route for
such, but their silence is noticed in
such cases as the brutal murder at
the Sixth Street depot. We con-
denim all crime, whether commit
ted by white or black we want
the world to know that there we. e
brutes, ruffians and murderers
among the white lmmunes. in no
case has the colored soldiers been
guilty of such deeds. They did
their fighting at Ell Caney and
Santiago, and their victims were
Spanish soldiers, they did not wait
to ccme to America and shoot
their unarmed comrades. When it
comes to meeting the enemy and
rendering courageous service,
military discipline in camp or on
the field, the colored soldier has
no rival.

THE NEGRO AND HIS CON
DITI0N.

1t is quite evident that the con-
dition of the negro in this county
is one that demands Immediate
consideration. Instead of so many
seeking social notoriety, they
should look out for their material
advancement. 1t is a matter of
impossibility for the masses to be
elevated above the common level
as it is fo~ the minority to be
placed in the official social circle.
There seems to be something
wrong with certain classes of ne
groes. There seems to be an impos-
sibillty of getting them together.
The northern negro is finding fault
with the material Advancement of
the sou hern negro The negroes
North are shaking their fists in the
face of the southern negro and
declaring that he is no good
politically, but yet they seem to
have al! the offices. The northern
republican negro does nothing but
complain against his white
brother and when he goes to the
polls he repudiates al he has said
previously and falls right i'm line.
What can the northern negro
expect? II the negro South pos
sesses more political sagacity than
the northern negro, the fault is
with the man who doesn't know
how to navigate.

A Moral GanPrena.

Certainty of punishment is the only
adequate deterrent from crime. Dras-
tic remedies prescribed in the sternest
laws will not prevent it when the peO-
pie are not in sympathy with the pur
poses of the lawgivers. They show
that they are not when they allow
sympathy for the accused or the So
phiStries of the lawyers to induce
them to allow q criminal to escape
from the penalties provided by the
law for his crime. 1t is in the hands
of the jurors of the country, of the
men who may be called upon to sit on
petty jurieS i'm criminal cases, to say
whether crime shall increase or the
law be respected 1t is not in the
power of any Legislature to make a
community orderly and law-abiding.
That is matter entirely in the hands
Of the people themselves.
These are truisms. Most persons will
assent to these propositions. Yet the
same person who to-day asserts their
truth may tomorrow disregard them
entirely and do all in his power to
hand the community over to anarchy

a case where man in whom he feels

allows his personal regard for the

full of the harm he is doing the cause
of law and justice and order.
The harmful feature of it is that the
juror who thus allows personal feel

Justice. is not merely voting to acquit

He is paving the way for the acquittai

same or an equally heinOus crime. The
cumulative effect of such acquittals
is promptly shown in the increase of

counsel for the defense and desire to
give him or them the credit of clearing

case. the action of the juror in voting
for the acquittal is a double wrong to
the State. 1t not only turns loose on
the State a man who has shown that
he has not moral principle enough to
prevent him from committing crime,
but it gives eclat to the employment of
elOquence, or questionable means
when used in bad cause.

A MANS PART.

1t is amusing to note how greed
lily some of our big dailies
gulp down every sort of hog wash
they can root mp from the mess of
rot which is circultted by shallow
pated negro phob SITS and small
fry. CAPT. Longnecker who only
acted mans part down in New
Orleans, is how being assailed
because it is claimed that he did
not get down on his knees and kiss
the feet of those who sought to
insult him. Then too some of our
brilliant editors are trying to make
it appear that the captain was try
ing to make reputation for him
self. Capt. Longnecker is a good
and brave man who believes in
doing justice to his men of what
ever color they may be. To seek
to impugn his motives is one of
the small tricks commonly resorted
to by self puffers, gingerbread

LYONS AND HIS TRADUCERS.

The unnecessary criticism that
a few disgruntled editors are max

seem to harmonize with their for
mer statements. No man in public

succeed is to do all in your power

you no harm. There are certain

Heretofore Mime. PATHS claim to the

been the possession of a marvellous
voice. Even now after she has eStab-

to be the chief contributor to the hap

rivalled as it is, 1t ought not to be per-

1t has been the habit of certain cy-
mics, ill-tempered and dyspeptic, to
sneer at the idea that a man or woman
could be happy even in one marriage
Their definition of that blissful state
has been that it is gilded cage that
made people miserable until they got
into it, and then made them more mis-
erable until they got out. The cOnSe-
Guence of the widespread diffusion of
this notion has been deplorable. Many
young men and women have refrained
from marriage. The young men par

ton of some of our greatest and most

wonderful penetration into the future
effects of a given line of conduct so
characteristic of them, they have
painted most vividly the wretched con-
dition of the world with marriage
