SE0po SOCIETY.

Nero Society In Washing ton. Is th ne
subject Of an entertaining article IN nc le
last issue OF the Saturday Evening Posl,
OF Philadelphia. by Paul Lawrence Ou w
bar, the negro poet. Hero exists says
he, "a society which IS sufficient urlo
itsclf-a society which is satisfied WIN
its own conditions, and which is not ast>-
ing for social intercourse with the whites.
Here are homes finely, beautifully aeiu =
tastefu!ly furnished. Here come toge'iiel
the flower OF colored citizenship from ai
parts Of the country.
With this introduction he enters INTO
description Of various social functlons
among the hish-class colored folk OF
Washington. and says that one from DC
You'd the city limits would be no mus '
able to secure admission or recoghltiOn'
without perfect knowledge OF MS soclai
standing in his own community, than
would Mrs. Bradley-Martin's butter come
to an Astor ball. I'm aims ana hopes ~
orr race" he adds, 'swc are all at one
but it must be understood, when we coii'c
to consider the social life, that the Siiis
who cook in your kitchens and the men
,-bo serve In your dining-rooms do not
dance in our parlors.
We commend this article to those COL
ored citizens Of Richmond who are non
estly and earnestly endcavoring to pet
ter their condition. Numerous articles
have appeared in these columns from time
to time on the subject under review anu
we have urged upon our colored readers
that if they hope for better social condl'
tons they must make q society Tor them
selves among themselves. 1t is simply
impossible that there be social intercourse
in the South between the races. 1t is ao-
so1,,tcly necessary, for reasons which need
not here be given, SO plain they are, tha'
where there are large numbers Of negroes.
as there are in the Southern States, the
races must be kept apart, and any ap-
proach to social equality, as that term Is
understood. must be discountenanced.
Sensible negroes understand this as well
as the whites understand it, and sensible
Southern negroes laugh at such tax as
is INDUCED in by the Boston Transcript,
ard papers of that stripe, about breaking
down the barriers. Upon purely scientific
principles, as we have before pointed out.
the mixing of the races is impossible.
But this does not mean that the colored
race shall be cut off from the refnements
and the refined social cnjoyments Of life.
The colorcd people of Richmond, and OF
every Southern community, may, as the
coIored people of Washington have done,
make society for themselves, and they
must make such a society and draw the
lines against the coarse and unclean If
they would improve their social condition.
There are grades of society among the
whites, there are little social cliques Ill
every community, and there must be
grades and social cliques among the
blacks 1t all comes back to this propo-
stion, that the black man must lift him.

rise by his own endeavors and upon his

Invariably the case when the Legislature
attempts to make restrictive laws Of this

their affairs according to the well estab-

regulated by the laws Of trade. When

insurance business, the railroad business,

us on its face to be an absurd proposl-

able to make satisfactory rules and regu-

that every newspaper which makes such
