"Jim Crow Car Law

The validity of the new Jim
Crow law, which went into opera
ton on July last, is to be tested be-
fore the Supreme Court. A case has
lust occurred which will cause test
to be made of the new law. 1t re-
mains to be seen, however, whether
II will involve the full merits of the
statute or only some essential points.
The case grows out OF a request OF
Conductor Bailey, of the Peninsula
Division of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad. to permit Guard l. w.
Baker, of the penitentiary force, to
carry colored prisoner in the white
car on his train. Baker refused to so
into the car set apart for negroes, rs
is provided by the new law. Then
the law was produced by the con-
ductor and he assigned the prisoner
to a seat in the "colored' car. The
guard refused to go, saying that he
was acting under instructions, and
Conductor Bailey requested him TO
leave the train, which he did at
Newport News, and the train came
on to Richmond, leaving the guard
and his prisoner.
The railroad company intends to
make a test of it, being confident
that under the law it is intended
that the negro prisoners shall ride III
the "colored" coaches. They say the
whole intent of the law is to compel
the negroes to occupy separate
compartment and that to permit
them in other coaches would both be
violation of the letter and spirit OF
the law.
This is the section under which the
conductor relied for his course" Be 1t
further enacted, that the provisions
of this act shall not apply to employ
ees on railroads, or persons employed
as nurses, or officers in charge OF
prisoners. Fredericksburg Star.

Capt. Michael Prince, of the Norfolk

FOR CONGRESSES District
Hon. VIM. A. Jones.

Hon. William j. Bryan and Hon
Adlai E. Stevenson were formally
notified w Wednesday afternoon In the
open air at Military Park, Indian
oplis. Ind, Of their nomination by
the Democratic party for the offices
OF Preside MT and Vice President OF
the United States. An immence
crowd. including prominent Demo
Gratis from all parts OF the country
were present and great enthusiasm
nrevailed. The formal notification
OF Mr.. Bryan W as made by Congress
man James D. Richardson, OF Ten
nesse, permanent chairman OF tne
Kansas City Convention. Mr. stew
rpson was notified by Governor
Charles s. Thomas, Of Colorado, tenn
porary chairman Of the Kansas City
Convention. Both nominees res>
bonded at length dealing with I'M
perialism as the great issue OF the
campaign. They strongly denounced
Imperialism as the most dangerous
proposition that has ever confronted
this country.
A brief reference was only made Oy
MIR. Bryan in his speech to the cur
rency issue. The Baltimore Sun III
an editorial commencing him for his
conservatism in that respect and
congratulating him for the signal
service" he has thereby rendered to
his party, says of it; 1t is devoted
almost entirely to the paramount
ue"-imperialism-and is a strong
and convincing arraignment of the
boiicy Of the Mckinley Administra-
ton. More than that, it is a clear,
straightforward, and comprehensive
statement of the grounds Of Demo-
cratic opposition to imperialism. NO
one can read this speech and have
any doubt as to what is the attitude
Of MIR. Bryan and the Democratic
party on the paramount issue OF
this campaign" Mr.. Bryan makes
this positive statement as to the
policy he will adopt if elected Presl-
dent:
There is an easy, honest, honor
able solution OF the Philippine prob-
lem. 1t is set forth in the Democrat
ic platform and it is submitted with
confidence to the American people.
This plan unreservedly indorse. II

form Of government in the Philip
pine Islands. just as we are now es-
a stable form OF government in the
Island of Cuba; second, to give in
dependence to the Filipiuos, just as
we have promised to give indepen-
dence to the Cubans; third, to pro-
tect the Filipinos from outside in>
reference while they work out their
destiny, just as we have protected
the republics OF Central and South
America, and are, by the Monroe
Doctrine pledged to protect Cuba

The Assembly Ball Has Been
 Postponed Until After Easter

The Assembly" ball has been postponed. Instead of the ball being danced on the last Monday of the gay season, 1t will usher in the past-Lenten season. At meet ing of the Assembly" managers yesterday morning with Mrs. Jack M Johnson, 1t was decided to hold the assembly" on Easter Monday. The number of brilliant events that will crowd into the close of the win ter season have caused the postponement of the ''assembly." A majority of the mem bers had accepted invitations for dinners and dances on Mar11i Gras Monday, and at the meeting last Saturday of the managers there was considerable discussion in re- gard to the advisabiMty of adding to the already over-crowded list of gayeties that always crowd the late winter season. After discussing the matter, 1t was decided to send the notices of the ball to an those in- terested in the "assembly," and the evert
 was to be one of unusual beauty and bril- liancy Owing to the numerous engage ments however, the ''assen1Sly" invitations have been withdrawn, and the ball will not
 be danced until after Easter
 At the informal gatherings yesterday, a
 number of women who are members of the
 assembly, expressed themselves as de- l lighted that the assembly, ball had been | postponed. They had previous to the an- | nouncement of the ball either sent out | cards for dinners or accepted invitations fo. dances, theatre parties, or other formal events, and to have missed the assembly,
 was not to be thought of. Monday evening wou.d consequently have meant a conttn- ual rushing from dinner to a dancing
 party. and the assembly" would be de- ploraoy late. With the Mardi Gras ball Tuesday evening, the week was entirely taken up.
 A prominent member of the "assembqy'' said yesterday that while the ball would be danced on Easter Monday, the managers had decided to hold future Assemblies" on New Years eve.
 'The managers, she said, wish to estab- fish an annual semi-annual date for the assembly, balls, and hereafter New Years Eve will be the date for the annual 'as-
 sembly.' Should there be two balls year
 Easter Monday would be charming time for the second ball.
 '"The Birmingham assembly," said an-
 other member, ''should be modelled after those of Baltimore and Philadelphia. Each winter notices should be sent to the former
 members In other words, the assembly | lists remain very much the same from year | to year. If at ball there Is at any time
 guests who are undesirable, their names
 are, of course, dropped from the lists for
 the ball the following winter. The assem-
 bly, therefore reserves the right to drop | from its list all names that should at any | time become undesirable"
 At the meeting of the assembly managers yesterday the following were appointed on the finance committed: Mir. Badham Mr. Percy, Mr. Crawford, MT. Jack W. John son. MT. Fulenwider.

Negro Foundrv Beg Operations

Chattanooga, Tenn, February 22.-The negro foundry of the Ross Meehan Foun- dry and Machine company has began opera ton with exclusive negro holders, fifty in number. The local Holders union, hay ing failed to organize these negroes, met tonight and forwarded their grievances to President Fox of the national union of Cin- cinnati and will await his orders as to what shall be done. Local foundrymen say that the negroes have been found to be especially adapted to all coarser and rough CT grades of holding, and some of them have become quite expert. They have been found to be reliable and industrious in their positions and negro molders are being em- ployed in many shops.
