The Richmond Times concludes an
article on the so-called Jim Grow"
cars with this paragraph: 1--WE again
make the point that the white people
OF Virginia have no disposition to hu-
initiate the black man, or to impose
anV unnecessary hardship upon him.
Ii, therefore, the "Jim Grow" car is
established by law, it will be because
insolent and ill-msnnered Negroes
have forced it. If the Negro insists
upon being rude and riotous and inde-
cent in public he cannot expect to be
tolerated by decent people"
Now, we have no doubt that the
writer who penned the paragraph just
quoted really thinks that he is not
influenced by race prejudice, but
every impartial man will see that he
is. Suppose few persons belonging
to any nationality were occasionally
disorderly would the Times want sep
arate ears for them? We have occa-
sionally seen men of all nationalities
commit rude and disorderly acts upon
the cars, but we never heard that all
people OF such nationalities were to be
compelled by law te ride in cars to
themselves. This ought to prove to
the Times that this movement is
founded on race prejudice. This
prejudice, which is always easy to ex-
cite, has been seduously kept alive by
small calibre politicians who haven &
brains enough to comprehend real
questions OF State. OF couse it is un-
necessary TO say that the last sentence
was not aimed at the Times.

Question of Puerto Rice.

What is constitutionally true Of the
Philippines Is true also, of course, of
Puerto Rico. The vital principle at
stake is the constitutional one. All the
rest is QUESTION of what is the wisest
and best thing to do in the way of leg
islation. OF one thing l am sure--that
Puerto Rico in it's present necessity,
needs present and immediate help, and
that help has been given, at the wise
suggestion Of the president, by an APP
preparation of more than $2,0G0000 for
her relief. But l also think there has
been great deal of exaggeration of the
Importance Of the question Of subject
ing imports from Puero Rico to Gus
toms duty. OF the constitutional right
to impose 1t 7 have no doubt. OF its
wisdom congress must judge. There Is
in the argument for this small
customs tariff on imports from Puerto
Rico-that 1t is the easiest way for the
internal expenditures of Puerto Rico to
be raised. If it does not put the Puerto
Ricans on an equality with ourselves by
giving them free trade it is only be-
cause it gives them something more lib
eral even than free trade, without the
relief and returns above stated, would
be-
Rome was not built in a day, and
the republican party Is not to be turned
down because in single year it cannot
make paradise; but it can be trusted
to deal honestly, fairly and righteously
with Puerto Rico"

Mr. Moffett's lecture on Turkey was
listened to last evening by an apprecia-
tive audience at the First Methodist
church. His pictures of Constantinople
and vicinity taken by himself are vivid
and well chosen. An evening with the
lecturer gives one a better idea of the
lland and people than the reading of
volumes Of books without his aid. Ac-
cording to the lecturer, the Armenian
question, from the superior business
standpoint Of that race, is much more
important to the Turks than their re-
Hgious beliefs. The Armenians greatly
outclass both Turks and Franks in mat
ter Of business In closing the lecture
Mr. Moffett gave q glowing tribute to
the patience and faithfulness Of the
American missionaries located in that
country.
