COLOR PREJUDICE ABROAD,

At one time and not very many
years ago, the race hatred and pre-
judice against people of color in
America, was confined to America.
But of recent years all this has
been changed SO much that,
today in London, England, there
are inns and hostelries which
positively refuse to accommodate
colored people. News conveying
this intelligence reached us some
time ago, from reliable and
trustworthy source, and We must
confess that, it did cause US some
very considerable astonishment;
for although we are aware that the
Kafhrs, East Indian, coolies and
merchants, in South Africa, are
treated far worse than the colored
peope Of America are, More par
ticularly the Kaffiirs) on account
of England's remoteness from the
scene, men of Kaffir, Zulu and
Hottentot origin, have never, until
recently, been subjected to invid :
ious personal discrimination in
London, and the American negro
has actually come in contact with
a London prejudice, which he had
enormously thought, was an insti-
tuition peculiar to his own country.
The qu' stion arises, what is the
cause and what is the remedy, if
remedy be required I:
In answer therefore, to the first
interrogatory We would say, that
we do not believe the South Afri
can policy of the British Charter
ed Company, is responsible at all,
but that from our own shores there
90 annually abroad over l hundred
thousand white people, travelling
for recreation and pleasure, who
frequent the principal hotels and
inns in foreign countries and have
gradually lowed the consideration
which the colored people of Ameri-
ca formerly received every where
in Europe. A colored lady now
residing in Washington, who lived
in Berlin, where she was making a
study of the German language,
encountered this discrimination,
in boarding house there, the
land lady of which had serveral
American women stopping with
her at the time.
In answer 10 the other question,
we would say that it is vitallv
important that the negro in Amer
lea, be not allowed to be tictured
to the European intellect, either
as a brute or as being incapable
OF measuring up to the highest
moral and intellectual qualifca-
tions of modern requirements AT
one time in this country, there
was a healthy moral atmosphere
which hoyered over New England
and from which eminated those
potent forces, which liberated the
negro from many forms of legal
and political tyranny and which
eXerted powerful influence, for
equal and exact justice, but alas
New England today is dominated bv
a spiri, Of commercialism which is
neither sympathy for the outraged d
class Of American citizens, nor
likely at an future time to eSpouse
its cause. Therefore, as the
American had his representatives
IN every capital of Europe, stirring
up public sentiment for his massa-
cred and outraged brethren, which
finally terminated in the universal
concert of European powers calling
the Sultan to cease or have his
Empire dlsmembered, so must the
