exports about $3.50, 900 ahead of those
of June, 1899, but the imports were con-
siderably IN excess Of those of last
month, which was, prior to June, the
, largest In the city's history in this re-
spect. This June's imports are more
than double those of the same month
a year ago. Both the exports and i'm
ports, however, would have been con-
siderabiy larger had 1t not been for the
strike OF the 'longshoremen In Liver

sells coming to this port several weeks.

THE Jim GROW" OAR.

The Jim Grow" Oar law went int
effect on Sunday last, and all of the
railroads provided separate cars or
compartments for colored and white
passengers and thus emphasized
again the fact thst the Negotiating
contingent IN this state will have it's
way in any matter which may be pre-
sumed to carry with it the humiliation
OF the citizen OF color.
However, the effect Of the change
hss been anything but comfortable for
the white people of this common
wealth. The experience OF other
states south OF US has been duplicated
here. ~
The accommodations upon all of the
great railroad lines are separate but
equal. A few colored people could be
seen occupying q whole car to them
selves while their white neighpors
were crowded together like "sar dimes
in box"
Our people need not be discouraged.
All radical movements on the psrt of
the Negro haters have finally rebound :
ed to our benefit.
We must continue to respect our
selves and frown upon those classes
amongst us who seem to have not as
yet learned of culture or ever been in
troduced to good manners.
We can win our way in this country
We
persecution. We withstood two hun
dred and fifty years of CALLING slavery
and came out of it stronger for the
test.
We are multiplying both in numbers
and finance. Our progress has been
phenomenal, and while we may not get
all OF our rights at once, we are on the
road to the place where they may be
ultimately secured.
1t has been gratifying to note that
pride existent in the Negro, which
says to white Negro.hater, If you do
not desire my company, can assure
you that 1 have no wish for yours"
However, this spirit of separa tion is
going further and colored and white
people are asking, "WbY should we
have white teachers in col ,red schools9
Why should the white hotels be al
lowed to bar out colorea patrons, TO-
stead of providing separate accom- mo-
dstions for themf Why should they
commingle in the stores and why
should not equal, but separate arrange
ments be made for the two races 2"
But one OF the most prominent char
aeseristics OF race prejudiced person
is inconsistency. The colored people
Of the state have decided to yield an
unwilling scquiescenee to the law and
those who expected trouble find them
selves keenly disappointed. We are q
law abiding people.

In their support of the principle, I will
be found still fighting, even though
alone. There Is one great principle
to be fought for In the coming cam
paign, and that Is whether or not the
dollar shall be placed above the man.
Whenever man and the dollar come in
conflict the Republican party stands
for the dollars first, the Democrats
stand for the man. Where there was
one reason in 1896 for carrying Colo
RADIO for the Democratic ticket there
are sixteen reasons now"
The arrival of the Nebraska delega-
ton, fresh from conference with their
leader, was mainly instrumental in
showing Mr.. Bryan's attitude. They
were hardly off the cars before they
met In caucus and formally put for
ward declaration of principles. This
expressed ''unalterable opposition to
any surrender of the principle Of BIZ
metallism and a demand for a fnan-
cial plank making a specific pledge for
the free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, in
dependently of what any other nation
may do"
When James Dahlman, the next ma
tional committeeman from Nebraska
and a close friend of Mr.. Bryan, was
asked If Bryan was for Towne he said:
Il have talked with Mr.. Bryan re-
Gently and 1 think his attitude could
be summed up in about this way. He
is not favoring any candidate. He
wants us not to make our wishes too
prominent, as it will look as though
this reflected his views, whereas he
wants to keep entirely out of the vice
presidential contest. But we feel that
we should express ourselves for
Towne, who is favorite with most of
the delegates, and our work will be
for him."
Mr.. Dahlman also gave definite as
surance of dramatic climax to the
nomination of Mr.. Bryan by his an
pearance on the floor OF the conven-
ton, for speech that will electrify
the convention and serve as a cam
paign keynote

only great principles and ignore petty
prejudices or will he WELD and join the
multitudes of his party in their denun-
citation of the colored people ?
There is one powerful force which
must be considered in the settlement
Of the contest.
Can the business interests of the
country afford TO permit the Democra-
CT OF the nation to triumph without
any effort to defeat it?
Will its influence be thrown on the
aide of MIR. MoKINLRI or on the side of
Mr.. BRYAN, or will it remain indiffer-
entf
OF course, viewed from . reasonable
standpoint, it would seem that Mr..
MCKINLEY is ss good.as elected. he
has the United treasury practically at
his disposal and his gifts Of patronage
have been practically unlimited.
Moreover, the trusts and the COM
bines between him and Mr.. BRYAN
would accept him every time.

THE TIMES AND THE SEPARATION.

THE Richmond, Va, TINES in its is
sue OF the All inst, says:
1.-THE separate car act went into ef.
feet on July LIST, and reports from all
sections are that the law ia working
admirably we'll The colored people
have opened their eyes to the fact.
which this paper so often asserted last
winter while the bill was pending, that
the law 10 not designed to humiIiate
or inconvenience the n. 1t Ia provid-
ed that each rsce shall have the same
aeeomm odations and the blacks are
as much protected against the pres
ence OF disagreeable whites as the
whites are protected in their apart
ments against the presence of disagree
able blacks"
While admitting that our contempo-
rary is making q fair statement of tn q
proposition, we nevertheless cannos
agree that the great majority of the
white people who clamored for this
pernicious measure did not do 40 for
the purpose of humiliating and in.
conveniencing the colored people.
They made . virtue of necessity
and gave US equal accommod atoms be.
cause the Supreme Court of the Unit.
ed States had decreed that it should
do so.
Who believes that this Negro-hatine
element would have hesitsted to place
Us in the smoking cars if they could
have done SO?
Who doubts that the railroad com.
panies would have accepted such a
proposition and thus save themselves
unnecessary expense7
To tell the whole truth, after sucb
an agitation of the subject, and the
opposition to it on the part OF the be l..
ter class of white people. these Negro.
haters became ashamed of their work
and the companies proceeded to COM
ply strictly with the law.
For this they deserve credit. It il a
notorious fact that in states south of
us the accommodations are not equal.
The TIMES is unusually fair when it
remarks;
There is something to be said on
both sides of this question. Every
now and then it has happened that
black passengers of bad manners have
made themselves offensive to white
passengers on railroad trains, but it il
equally true that white people of bad
manners have made themselves offen-
sive to respectable colored people,"
Oh. IL the TIMES and it's multitude of
Negro-haters would always state the
case as fairly as it has done in this in
stance.
We cannot however accept the fol-
lowing statement as conveying an ides
of the true conditions:
Hereafter there will be better ord
er on our railroad trans, for ill-man-
nered whites will behave better when
they are in . car with people of their
own race only, and ul-mannered
blacks will behave better whsn they
are in car with respectable people OF
their race"
