Respect Your Place

There are several places in this
city kept by colorel men where
ladies and gentlemen may 90 with
out any restraint. a place is
made respectable by people acting
dec c.ut and where reSpec able peo-
pie are permitted o so. There is
N cause for the colored people not
patronizing their own places if they
are treated we'll and they can OBJ
tain the same service. ColOred So
ciety has not reached that point in
life, that gives it a license to go
to a place where a sample room is
attached. There are three classes
of people or more who visit such
places. The refined lady doesn't
care to come in contact with the
sporting woman. A sporting woman
wants her wines and bear. This is
dis astful to the refined lady, who
likes to go out for quite evening
to first class supper out who doesn't
like wines. Then there is the drink
ing man, who does't care what he
says in the presence of a refined
lady. He doesn't know the rules of
polite society, hence he doesn' care
what he says or does in the pres
ence Of ladies. There is not enough
of the respectable people so called
to support first class place, but
still there are several first class col
Ored places in this city where ladies
are protected if they go. Let pa
irons learn how to respect these
places in which they go and they
will continue t. be respectable.

HAwLEY AND THE NEGROES
From the Dallas Texas World.

From the Dallas Texas World.
Will any Negro be appointed 20
Federal position ? is a question that IS
being asked daily. This IS a hard nut
to crack. Last year, when we were
making the campaign for delegates, to
the National convention, who favored
a candidate for National committee
man with liberal and broad views on
this very question, those who now
seem to be IN darkness upon this ques-
ton essayed To have much light on
the question then lost much rest, night
and day, attempting to COnvenCe the
Negro that if he would cast his vote
for Mr.. lIaWley and elect him to the
position of National committeeman,
such positions as Collectors, Deputy
ships and large paying Clerkships
would, be given 10 the negro, and an
epoch of good times would be in store
for them all. This political Clap-trap
was prOmu gated by Negro men Of
supposed intelligence and influence.
Through the peridy of Mr.. HawIey
and the d sgraCeful acts OF his cohorts
and by the good grace of a more de-
signing National committee Mr.. HaW-
ley was forced on the people of Texas
as their leader with power to fill the
functions of such position. No soon
er than this man HaWley was given
temporary power he assumed a hos
tile attitude toward all Negroes. He
joins in the mad ana insane ClamOr to
put the Negro IN the back ground and
not allow him to hold office. This is
the reward that Texas Negroes get for
eleCting Mr.. HaWley to Congress twice
and making condition such as to give
the National committee a chance 10
make him their National committee &,
man in Texas. In any other person
this would be regarded as the basest
and worst sort of iugratitude. The
World mas in all ages regarded ingrati-
tude as the baSest of all crimes. and
whether there be a god in every star
that shines, gratitude is a virtue.
There must come reckoning day
and the trusting Negro will awake to
find out that every man who prOClaims
sincere friendship, is in fact no friend
at all. Such will come Of M. Haw-
ley'S dupliCity, and what will he do
when he cannot fool the Negro anV
longer. Already Mr.. HaXley has sent
1t down the line that he will not en-
dOrse a single Negro for a responsible
Office in Texas, so It is whispered
around, yet there are Negroes in Tex
as stupid enough to prescribe fealty to
his leadership. The time has come
in the life of the Negro that he must
stand with those who stand with him !
and stand against those who stand
against him, regardless Of whom they
may be or what party they represent |
There is no need to kick now. |
When YOu had Quincy on the
National Committee representing
Texas, yol were dissatisfied and |
kicked HIM off. No sooner was
this done, than you commenced to !

them, Whose fault is it that Mr., |

mittee You had no faith in your

beasts of burden and bearers Of flu
ture slaves, and with scarcely forty
years intervening, the result IS newt
able@*s The Negro woman OF the
lower type still recognizes her subser-
vience 10 the white man and yields
herself quite IS readily now as then.
PTeciGents and habits of association
are powerful factors in directing The
action of these women. There are few
occupations, aside from domestic SER
vice open - them, and prostitutes are
recruited from this class. Continuing
this same question Prof. Kellor, IN
speaking of position of the white
women OF the south, he says
The attitude of the white woman
is conducive to Negro immortality, for
they are generally Indifferent to the
relations of their husbands and broth
erS with Negroes-where a northern
white woman of equal standing would
not be. This is unquestionably due to
the practices in vogue during slavery.
The great trouble with some
negro men, is they don't respect
their women. They are too quick
to suspicion every woman who may
be spoken we'll of or may have el6-
vated herself and progressed IN
the higher wal Ks of life. There are
some noble and good women in
this country and If they are bad,
they have been made so by corrupt
men. COlOred women are not sur
rounded with the inViroments with
which some white women are sur
rounded. Some cOlored men have
no respect for a decent colored
woman and if ne gives one any as
siS,ance he comes to the conclusion
that he owns her and loves to
boast of what he has given her. If
colOred men had more respect for
their women, and protect them
more there would be less immortality
among them. Every avenue is
closed against our worthy colOred
women and girls. They have no
large stores in which they can go
to be employed. Colored men
with means offer NJ inducements
for our girls and women. There
was time. that respectable col
ored girl could not be employed in
a public Office, without comment
while the young white girl ald
woman were respected and encous-
aged. Let the men protect their
women and there will be less I'M
morality among them.
A negro will enter a white mans
office and see a white girl or wo-
man and he will snatch his hat OF.
but he enters a colored mans office
and sees one of the most refined
and highly educa'ed coIored ladies,
he will ask her all kinds of ques-
tions. The first thing that he
wants to know is, how much
money she is getting, where does
she live, do you want to take din
ner. She can't be polite because
negro men will not permit her.
When negro men learn how to re-
spect their women then and not un-
til taen will there be less immoral
ity among them.

DEFEND THE CUP

BATEMAN'S POINT, r. l., Aug. TO-
CONSTITUTION and Columbia, together
with the yawls Ailsa. Navahoe and
Nigilant, the 70-foot sloops Rainbow
and Virginia, started today in a thirty
mile race, the first of another series
of three races off this point The fore
noon was so foggy that for time il
looked as If there would be no race
today, but towards noon 1t began
clearing up until at 1855 O'Clock the
conditions We're such that the warning
signal was given. Interest was added
to the race because ii is the first one
for the Constitution since the altera =
lions To her rig. Since her last race she
has been given new mast. The other
changes which We're designed To I'M
prove the boat have also been made
The race started with the Columbia
in the lead and on the CONSTITUTIONS
weather port. The time of the start Is
as follows: Columbia, l:0l 10; Consti-
tuition, 1:Ol:22
The start was beautiful one for
the Columbia as she came down ana
took up fine position to the weather
of the Constitution, and in that posi-
ton the two boats crossed the line on
the starboard tack very close together.
Immediately after crossing the line the
Columbia seemed To point better than
Constitution, and to foot just as fast.
The course is a fifteen-mlle beat to
windward southwest and return.
Weather clear, wind about three miles
from sOuth-southwest.
NEW YORK, Aug. l0.-Reports hav-
ing been received in this city by cable
message to the effect that Thomas Lip
ton had official information that the
Columbia would defend Americas cup
against Shamrock III, a reporter for the
press was informed that although the
trial races between the Constitution
and the Columbia will not be held for
three weeks, a majority or the cup
committee has agreed that unless al.
terations now under way make the
Constitution much improved boat it
would be inadvisable to select her as
the cup defender.
]. Pierpont Morgan, being asked II
he had heard of the cup committees
views, said: 1T is absurd to talk of
this before the trial races. / decline 10
say anything further
NEW YORK, Aug. l0-Shamrock is
now hourly expected. She left Gour-
ock. on the Clyde, on July 81, and 1--WE
days afterward dropped anchor at the
Azores, after a run Of 1900 miles.
As soon as she reaches port she will
be taken to Erie Basin, where her rae
ing rig. which has preceded her, will
be installed. Men will be set to work
upon II at once, and 1t will not take
long to remove her travel-stained
clothes and replace them with tine fine
raiment in which Sir Thomas Upton
and his advisers hope she will sue
coed in bearing away the cup.
