THE Bedford, Va, BULLETIN in dis
cussing one colored journal rails at an :
other, The PLANET. It declares tina {
the best friends of the Negroes are the
white people of the South. In this, it
errs. If it will amend its statement to
the extent of saying that some of the
best friends of the Negroes are to be
found among some OF the white people
Of the South, there can be no disagree
ment with the assertion.
The trouble with the BULLETIN and
Journals of its stripe is that it is uuwin
ing to concede TO the American citizen
of color the same same rights and priv
ileges that it demands for itself. We
think that it is only fair that the Ne
groes should designate their friends as
well as accorded an opportunity to label
their enemies.

woMAN'S LOT IN CHINA.
With the Exception OF That Of tho
EnDse~s DowAEer IL II Indoea
. Miserable One.


In his lecture on Woman m China, I"
Mr.. Chester Holeombe defined the
status of the womSn IN three different
periods OF her Ete. and explained
wherein lies the grest influence which
the present dowsger empress exer-
eises over tbs affairs Of her nation
In all Chinese history probably no
circumstances have occurred which
might serve 20 illustrate so completely
the natural position and autocratic
power OF a mother as those of the last
few years In which the dowager en-
press has played the most conspicu-
Gus part.
The dowager Is the sole surviving
widow OF Emperor Hsien Feng, who
died an 1851. In later years, by a
process of adoption known only In
China, the present empress dowager
became the grandmother of tho pres
ent emperor. Actually she Is of no
disoernible relationship to him But
by that process OF adoption, constant
ly prGctioed and everywhore recog-
nize1 in China, she IS his only surviv-
ing grandmother. And here is the one
source Of power and authority, alike
over him and over the Chinese race.
Not as empress, but as mother, she has
the full right to rule under every
foundation principle OF the Chinese
governmental system. However un-
wise, absurd and disastrous to the en-
pire any aet or acts of hers may have
been, they have been well within the
limits of her authority, according to
the constitution and laws of the en-
pire. Only death or an entire over
turning of the entire system OF au-
tbority can either relieve or rob her
of her rights, not as empress but as
mother.
In early life many OF the women
I'm China commit suicide. One has no
legal protection against her master,
man he may abuse her and neglect
her, fail TO provide for her wants, de-
sert her and divorce her. In practice
husbands divorce their wives for any
reason and for no reason. Any scrap
OF paper upon which the fact of d.
voree is written, and stamped with the
impression OF the thumb of the hus-
band, Is all that is necessary. The
most serious of all hardships which
fall to the lot OF the Chinese woman
come with her marriage. And these are
often SO bitter as to be uncomfortable,
and to end in self-destruction. She
Is betrothed in infancy or childhood
