The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1899-10-07

The whole country has been Dewey
mad for some time and the actions Of
the last few days show that it is still
in the same fix. We do not object to
giving honor where honor is due, and
we have high regard for the Manila
hero; yet it does rile us to see so
much honor heaped on one man who
claims he only did his duty, and to see
number of other men who did their
DUTY, too, almost utterly ignored, and,
in fact, in many cases not even given
credit for what they did. Sauce for
the goose ought to be good sauce for
the gander. Il

SATURDAY OCTOBER, 1889.

The Courier-Journal has consider
able to say because the Afro-Ameri-
cans of Kentucky desire to be repre-
sented in the jury box, claiming that
it is not right to be enforced. This
may be Logically true, but the exclu-
sion of Afro-Americans from the juries
certainly works to their disadvantage
as their exclusion from any thing does.
We have no more desire to serve on
juries than other men, but it is the
invidious distinction which is obiec-
tionable. In the same article appears
the following:
'As to the matter Of railroad accom-
mediation, experience has shown that
the separation of the races is good
policy, and many of the more intelli-
gent colored people favor it. When
they fail to get first-class accommo-
dation for first-class fare. the rail-
roads are to blame. Suits are now
pending to correct this, and until they
fail of their purpose it is not compe-
tent for any one to say that the laws
are to blame. The law excludes
whites from the cars set apart for Ne
groes as rigidly as it excludes Negroes
from those assigned to whites"

Back of this commanding ledge there is
vast sweep of level green which would
be an ideal drilling and proving ground

To those of the Kendall household, who

time In the history of Staten island when
gold has been found there in paying
quantities or otherwise Mr.. Bell, how
ever, who has spent the greater share OF
his life in prospecting through Western
countries and in the mountains Of Mexico
assured the reporter that he had found

Indeed, wherever certain combinations

mems Of quartz in Central park showed
I, traces of gold, as did Some Of the speci

villa is called, shows the largest per

The property has some historical value
being the site of Revolutionary head
quarters, and the mansion was built dur

GOLD FOUND ON STATEN ISLAND.
Country George Assays Thirty
Ton

A little KlondikN has been discovered
exact extent has not been ascertained.
but there is at least one ledge of rock
that proves of considerable value-enough
to bring out gold in paying qualities. how
ever shallow or deep the vein may be.
There is little danger of a wholesale
expedition in the direction Of Staten
island, however, for, as far as is known,
the vein of precious ore is confined to the
park, and grounds of the country seat
Of Mr.. George G.. Kendall, president Of
the New York Bank Note company. of
No. 76 Sixth avenue. The manner Of its
discovery was entirely accidental.
Mr.. Kendall being man of wealth and
culture, entertains a great deal, and a
few weeks ago was the host OF Mr.. James
L. Bell, southwestern mining expert
and prospector. After dinner of the sum-
mer Sabbath afternoon. host and guest
were wandering through the grounds,
when the trained eye Of the prospector
caught glimpse of ledge Of rock that
locked at least suspicious. With casual
interest he clipped off a few specimens OF
the ledge Of rock at different points along
the veins, which were from a few inches
to few feet in width. Taking these tc
the city on it's return, and subjecting
them to a careful assay, he was surprised
to find his suspicious confirmed.
The specimens showed a paying quaint
~ Of gold mixed with silver, copper, pyr
ties and crude iron. The highest speci
men proved to the value of $50 ton, thu
lowest about 81 per ton. AS the averag'
is sixteen dollars to make the mining pay
it will be seen that there is ample re
| ward for the owner If he chooses to max

premises.

The Courier-J Journal is away off.
Everywhere else on earth except south
of Mason and Dixon's line, U. S. A.,
the races travel together on railroads
without particle of trouble. And
there is not one Intelligent Afro
American who favors the damnable
distinction which obtains in the South
on railroads. True the LAW excludes
the whites from the "Jim Crow cars,
but the employees of the roads do not
uphold the law in that direction; for,
any white persons can ride in "Jim
Grow" car if he feels like doing so; it
is only when an Afro-American. who
must always pay frst-class fare, seeks
the rights of first-class passenger,
that the law is enforced. If the roads
would sell first, second and third
class tickets with corresponding ac-
commodations, the people seeking the
several accommodations, according to
their desires, would, barring the pref
udice existing only on one side, and
which should not be pandered to by
common carriers, find congenial COM
panions. There are very many Afro
Americans endowed by nature with
the finest sensibilities and who on ac-
count of environment and education
are as refined, courteous, companiona-
BILE, clearly, etc., as any persons can
be. Now, why should there be odiOus
distinctions to wound their feelings?
Now, the actual truth is that all this
alleged objection on the part of the
whites to Afro-Americans associating
with them is utterly false, and without
foundation. They do not object to
them as private servants, as porters, as
walters or train hands. Only when
they wish to act in the capacity of
men and women and enjoy the same
rights and privileges any other men
and women enjoy for the same price
do they become Objectionable. Color
prejudice is the most inhuman thing
we know of, the most senseless, the
most inconsistent and ought not be
found in the hearts of the people who
claim to be the most Christian and
God-like on earth. When will a man
be a man for a. that and a. that with
the whites of America, which is the
only country that claims to be 'the
haven of rest for the down-trodden and
of all nations?"
