MRS. JOSEPHINE RuFFIm.
Against Whom the "color Line" Was
Drawn at Milwaukee.


Drawn at Milwaukee.
At the convention Of the National
Federation of Women's Clubs at Mil
waukee the color line" was drawn and
now the question of the eligibility of
cOlored women to white wOmen's clubs
is being discussed throughout the land.
The color line" question was precipl-
tated in this way:
Some months ago the secretary Of the
national federation sent to the New
Era Club, of Boston, an invitation to be
presented at the Milwaukee cODven-
ton. The president and founder Of this
club is a colored woman, Mrs Josephine
St p. Ruffin, and believing that the in
vitation was extended in good faith
she went to Milwaukee to attend the
convention. The officers Of the fedora
ton had not known that the New Era
Club was one for cOlOred women and
when Mrs. Ruffin appeared at the con-
vention there was opposition to her and
her club from the Southern delegates
and from Southern women living in the
| North.
The -bosses" of the convention sought
to shelve the annoying question by re
turning the fees of the New Era Clut
on the plea that the Board of Directors
had not approved of the action of th'
President in having accepted them. b.
this act the utilization of the New Err;
Cub with the federation was denieC
and Mrs Rutfin found herself withou
the right of representation. She is de

at Richmond, Va.
The recent convention OF Confederate
veterans held at Louisville voted to ac-
cept with thanks the offer of 100000
made by Charles Broadway Rouse OF
New York, formerly a soldier of the
COnfederacy from Virginia, for the pur-
pose of erecting a memorial to the Con-
federate dead at Richmond, Va. The
Memorial Committee reported that it
had secured pledges of $124, 1875 in
addition, and that the prospect Of rails
ing an amount sufficient TO make the
total. including Mr. Rouse's donation,
$500, 900 was excellent Upon these rep
reservations Mr.. Rouse has authorized
the Confederate Veterans Association
to draw upon him for the amount
pledged by him at any time it may be
thought advisable to begin the work.
The Confederate Memorial Association,
which has the enterprise in hand, he's
elected Judge George l.. Christian Of
Richmond, Va, as its treasurer, and
the memorial is to be built In Rich
mond, the heart-city Of the COnfed-
eracy and the place where, for four
years, the policies and plans were
evolved in consequence Of which the
South was enabled to make SO memoir
able a struggle against inevitable de-
feat.
The definite arrangements for the
construction of the memorial do not yet
appear to have been completed by the
association, but General ]. G. Under

Col. George w. Balm.

Monday evening, November 18th,
Col. Geo. w. Balm will deliver his lee
ture on Among the Masses or Traits
OF Character and thus inaugurate
this winters lecture course. This lee
turer comes to us very highly recon-
mended by such prominent men as
Russell Fl. Convell and Gen. Gordon,
as well as by the managers of many
lecture courses. The Atlantic COM
mittee engaged this Kentucky orator
last year and by many he was con-
sidered the best in their excellent pro-
gram. This number will be highly
entertaining to all on account of the
subject, its humor, pathos, flights of
oratory and originality Of thought.
Do not fail to hear Col. Balm, at the
Presbyterian church and thus be bene-
fitted and lend encouragement to the
promoters of the Course. Tickets will
be on sale at the stores OF A. Ii. Rob
erts and Prick & Son and the Library
Rooms.

young people who have each shown
their ability to grapple, with the
world. The groom has been in our

REMEMs

In lone bleak wood wild rose gresS,
No eye ever saw it, mind ever knex<
But the flower was none the less as fatsS
As any that ever breathed the air.
It gazed up to the calm, cold sky
And shuddered to think it must die.
1t languished and its heart grew chill;
The caress of zephyr might well nigh kin,
But passing breeze gave encouragement
And bore afar its delicate scent;
The breeze thus laden kissed child
Who played in the meadow and, pausng, smiled
The dear enchantment of that spot
The child, through lifetime, never forgot
The soul of the rose, with its last sweet breath,
Leaped forth to meet approaching death,
And gave to the breeze every crimson flake;
Twas all it had for nemory's sake.
No eye saw it, no mind ever guessed
The sweetness Of its final rest
How came to know it? Twas told by the dew
How sweet is Remembrance, and tell you.

pines with the conviction that We have q
duty to discharge in those islands which
we cannot in honor shirk. "Whatever We
might have done a year or 50 ago. said
he, in speaking to this subject, "there is
but one thing for Us to do now, and that is
to administer the government Of the isl
ands and 10 assume the responsibility fol
their future, as no one else is likely 10 un'
dertake it," Bishop Potter is convinced
that the Philippines are as yet in no con-
dition for a civil government and says that
''if the Philippine government were
enforced a large military force would be
needed to maintain it,"
In the same connection we note that a
resolution was adopted by the Phiadel'
phia Conference of the Methodist EpiscO
pal Church on Tuesday last calling for yOI'
unteers to 90 to the Philippines for evan
gelical work, the preamble of which was
as follows 4:
"Whereas, God in His wise providence
has recently redeemed from bondage, deS
potism and superstition more than ten
million souls for whom Christ died and
has brought them under tie sheltelng
folds of our glorious flag and made them
partakers of our inheritance of liberty at 4
great cost of Treasure, suffering and blood. &"
Just what should be done or what will
be done eventually with the Philippines
is question for future consideration. But
we cannot understand how any conscient-
ious man, how any man who has respect
for the obligations of his government, can
stand up and say that in the present situ-
alton the United States government should
Withdraw its troops from the Philippines
and leave those people to take care of
themselves. From various sources comes
the information that they are conglomer-
ate mass of people ranging all the way
from semi-barba:Ous tribes to men and
women of education and refinement. They
live on innumerable islands and it were al
most impossible to make of them an au-
tonomous State and to establish form of
government that would be satisfactory to
all elements. AS to how far we are JUST.
fable in taking these islands under our
protection, that is not the question now
under consideration. Right or wrong we
took them, and in taking them we assumed
a responsibility which as an honorable
nation we cannot dodge. We must do the
very best that we can for the Filipinos,
giving them the benefit of our influence
and civilization. 1t is the duty of our
government to enlghten them and Ameri-
canize them and fit them, if possible, for
self.government; it is the duty Of the
American church to Chrstianize them.
The Times would be only too glad, for
its part, to see our troops withdrawn and
the Filipinos set up comfortably and hap.
PLY in government of their own. But
The Times does not hesitate to say that
for our government now to withdraw and
leave the Fibpinos to their fate, were TO
commit one of the most cowardIy acis that
ever disgraced nation.
