white brother. Promotions were given
colored clerks notwithstanding the
murmuTlng of envOuS and prejudiced
whites whose records were less meiit-
oriouS.
Since Capt. Castle assumed charge
OF the Auditors Office the manifesto
tIons OF race prejudice have been less
! pronounced. He set the standard of
treatment firmly upon the solid rock
| OF justice and fair-dealing AMI in no
office has the standard been more rig
oTouSly supported than in that presid-
ed over by Capt Castle.
As Tar as We ale informed, the rela-
tons between the entire colored Corps
OF clerks and the Auditor are of the
most cordial character If this is not
true IN all cases, it should be so; for if
indications and results count for any,
thing, il would be the barest ingrati-
tude on the part of colored clerks to
entertain anything but the most re-
spectful and cordial relations with one
who has led tha vanguard in accord
ing TO deserving and striving clerks the
justice to which they are fairly en-
titled
Capt. Castle has bestowed a lasting
benefit upon our race, not only for his
manliness, fairness and justice toward
the cOlOred clerks who are in his office
but because he has established a pre-
Cedent, set the example v which may in
duce others, who are still constrac' ed
by race prejudice, to become more
liberal.
We hope that Capt. Castle my re
main in office as long as he wishes.
He merits advancement to a higher
and more lucrative position and we
would be pleased to see him advanced.
Al the same lime, we hope th I he
may continue III his noble, treatment
of our people, assured that the race
will honor him and express their graft
tude upon all occasions, in season and
out of season.
Capt. Castle has the heartfelt graft
tude Ofthe cOlOred people in general
and especially those in whose behalf
he has acted SO manfuliy and magnifi-

Judgment Of this decision will bo

of free speech are violations Of law
but at present the "unjudicial' char
acter of the language used by Judge
Jackson is the subject OF almost uni
versal comment. 10 denOunce trades

the rhetoric Of the least responsible
of labor agitatorr whom Judge Jack
son would imprison for melting class
hatred Mr. Mitchell'> comment on the
decision, which has been published in
papers not generally friendly to the
trades-unions, reads in part as fol-
lows:
None Of the defendants in this in
junction case nor our speakers have
violated the law. They were counsel
ing miners on their own grounds.
They were persuadmg them to remain
out until our demands for d living
wage have been granted. and were not
intimidating them at all.
The scope Of Judge Jackson's de
cision can hardly be realized by those
not familiar with the facts. II fOrbids
men to walk on the highways. to talk

TO strike. II takes from the members
