AcANcER IN THE NEGRo's BREAST.

We want to set our foot down good
and hard on an absurd ebuilition of
race prejudice that is cropping out to
an alarming extent among those of us.
who make our living by cooking, laun.
dering, sewing and like occupations.
Complaint is made by numbers of first
class colored families that it is next to
impossible to get satisfactory service at
the hands OF colored house girls and
cooks, there being peculiar disincli-
nation to be servant" in the home
of one of their own race. They resent
the class line, and become highly in
dignant if they are not received as full
hedged members of the family circle.
1t is alleged that some colored dress.
makers can scarcely be prevailed upon
to make garment for colored lady,
and when she does so condescend, the
work is so often inferior to the kind
furnished to white person. The same
criticism is made to the quality of laun-
dry service accorded to ladies of color,
and several have testified that they had
been compelled, at times, to do their
own work from inability to get a wo-
man who would return the clothing in
presentable condition. 1t is remarked
that some of those engaged in these
callings, will not wait on colored per-
son as long as they have awhile custo-
mer to serve.
Now, this is all wrong, and we can
not move forward as people as long
as we harbor such mean notions con-
cerning the disposition of our labor.
One persons money is as good as
another's, and the quality OF service
should be regulated by the price, not
by any such absurd standard as color.
There must, of necessity, be classes in
all races, owing to differences in oppor'
tunities and varieties Of ability, and we
should all strive to do our duty, along
the line of our calling, never sighting
a detail because the employer is a
brother or sister more fortunate than
ourselves. Rather strive earnestly to
reach the goal attained by them, and
seek to be worthy Of the chance they
offer for the accumulation of the money
the acknowledged passport to the favor
that they themselves enjoy. j alousy
gains US nothing, and such petty preju'
dice is positively criminal. This ten
dency to look with disdain upon the
patronage Of member of our race,
and to sneer at the employment he Of
ters, will eventually prove to be cam
Ger in the Negro breast, destroying
slowly but surely, the vitals of race
pride and internal race progress.

can no longer he doubted that a
dangerous condition OF unrest OBJ
aims throughout Italy. This has
-xisted for some time, but has been
brought to a head by the Govern

pressing riots, etc, takes away the
rights of free speech and of public
meetings. For six weeks the Govern
neut has attempted TO pass this bill,
iespite the fierce opposition OF the
Socialists aud Republicans, which
mas now developed into dangerous
evolutionary movement.
The Italian Government s.rove to
BASS this bill by empowering the
President to suppress SPEAKERS but
sitting was su'pended daily owing
to uproar and fights, which Social
lists and Republicans started about
week ago. During the discussion
f the bill Signor Pantago electrified

GIVE US A REST.

While the members OF the Dole
Government are using their Lydditt
eloquence in booming the Court of
Claims in the Council Of State and
turning P. @. jones green, they hav'
evidently lost sight of the all.in
portant matter Of finding a site
somewhere in which heir bones OF
ashes can be laid at rest. What ha.
become Of the Cemetery Committee
what has resulted from our excur
sions in search of graves2 All we
know is that the Board of Health
has notified those who desire to be-
buried that from September 30th
there is tabu on al! cemeteries
within radius of four miles an,
that "corpses" will have to max
other arrangement if they desire /,
be disposed Of outside the ash barrel
We do not believe for a moment
that the Board of Health has th.
right to usurp legislative powers,
and we have no doubt that the auto
cratic gentlemen OF the Board who
have not yet resigned will find that
their c+me cry 'nkas-" is not WORT
the p.psf rs written on. Mr.
Hatch took good care to resign be
fore the question OF the legality OF
his cemetery rule came into effect
Had he not, he might have learned
a 1isagreeable lesson.
No one can accuse The INDEPEND
ENT OF sacrificing common sense t.
sentiment, and we are certaiul,
never willing to appeal from the
head to the heart. Sentiment, how
ever, plays big figure in this world
aud we believe that all decent per.
sons respect the feelings of others,
never mind how absurd their ideas
and sympalhies may ssem to us
We also believe in vested rights and
we doubt that the Board of Health,
bureau simply under the Govern
ment, has tho right to cancel priv.
leges granted to those who own
burial plots in the cemeteries now
in existence. We have nothing to
say against tbs granting of permits
for new lots in our cemeteries but
we hold that the owner Of lot in
which perhaps a father, mother,
wife and child ara laid to rest, and
which is not overcrowded, should br
open to the remains of the man
who, sentimentally perhaps, wishes
his remains to be buried next to |
those Of his beloved friends.

IN THE

Frank W. Vaflle, director general Of
posts in the Philippines, has written to
Perry H. Heath, secretary of the ma
tional republican committee, a letter
from Manila telling of the conditions now
prevailing in the islands. In part he
says:
Conditions here are unsettled and it is
hard to figure out the outcome. but there
is no war. LadrOnes, operating in small
bands against the well-to-do of their own
people and small detachments of our
men. So far as the Philippine war ever
having been. since it's inception, a fight
for independence or liberty, that is per-
feet rot. Educated only in the diplo-
macy of treachery n deceit. with no
other conception of right than that of
might, q republic under such conditions
is as inconceivable as a meeting between
an irresistible body and an immovable
body. I cannot understand how the good
men in the states could have been SO
blinded to the actual conditions as to be-
lieve for a moment that there vas any
course left for us but the n pursued.
Personally, I am ready to go away from
here any time, but sc far as our country
is concerned, possession must be held
for some time to come. What will be lone
with the islands ten, twenty or fifty
years from now will rest with the legis-
lators of that time"
Mr.. Vaille's letter is only one of many
received telling the same story.

BACK TO THE OLD CAMP.

All over the west the silver men are
returning to the republican ranks. Mr..
Bryan's silver play has deceived none
of them. The story of the Kansas City
convention has made plain the demo-
cratic bunco game. 1t worked nee, but
it will work no more. In every western
state citizens who once a confidence
in Bryan are leaving him. His friend
ship for silver is sectional, his anti
Imperialism is a fraud. his mil'tarIsIn Is
a bogy. His free trade alone is real.

DEMOCRATIC

The rumor that a group of mines in
Madison county is about to be purchased
for $3.50, 600 by "a lot of eastern capitalists
who are connected with various trusts
doing business in New York should
arouse the instant indignation Of the
democratic press. The democratic state
convention should not omit a red-hot de-
nunciation of the deal. OF course if the
sale goesit WILDE followedby the employ
ment of 500 men and the erection of a mill
or smelter and the expenditure of several

JACKSON AND M'KINLEY.

In 1882, when Andrew Jackson was
elected president. he was subjected to
much the same kind of abuse and mis-
representation tha Lincoln afterwards
received at the hands of the democrats,
and that Mckinley is the victim of from
the Bryan leaders. At Jacksonville. Ill.
an old political poster has Just been dis
covered, a relic of the Jackson campaign,
depicting Jackson in royal robes, with a
crown on his head and with his feet on
the constitution of his country. Beneath
the picture are the words: King An
drew, Born to Command" The poster
continues:
A king who possesses as much power
as his gracious brother. William ~ land
makes a worse use Of 1t.
A king who has placed himself above
the laws, as he has shown by his con
tempt of our judges.
A king who would destroy our cur
rency and substitute old rags, payable
by no one knows who and no one knows
where. instead of good silver dollars.
A king born to as he has
shown himself by appointing men to
office contrary to the will of the people.
A king who. while he was feeding his
favorites out Of the pubic money. denied
a pittance to the old soldiers who fought
and bled for our Independence.
A king Whose prime minister and heir
apparent was thought unfit for the office
of ambassador by the people.
Shall he reign over us or shall the peo-
pie rule?
There was just as much truth in the
charge Of Imperialism against Jackson
in those days as there is in the present
accusations against Mckinley. There
were Butte Miners and Anaconda Stand
ards in the Jackson campaign as there
now are in that of Mckinley. 1t may be
interesting to recall the fact that Jack
son was elected, as Mckinley will be. 2
