THE AFTERNOON NEWSPAPERS.
4onisYilla Post.

Louisville Post.
The afternoon newspaper is the
paper the people read. 1t goes to
the home to be read around the
! fireside by every member of the
! family.
| Each season marks the growth
. of the afternoon newspaper. In
Louisville, as in Cincinnati. IL
dianapolis, Columbus, Chicago,
st. Louis and Nashville, the after
noon newspapers have the cir
eulation and the advertising, and
spend the money.
This is especially true at st.
. Louis and Indianapolis, where the
local advertisers have simply
taken possession of the afternoon
newspapers, which, not once a
week, but two or three times a
week, al pear with seventy five,
eighty five, nin-ty or one hundred
! columns of advertising.
This is in accordance with the
laws of commercial development.
The man of business, with 4 great
plant and large stock, cannot
afford to have dull days any more
than he can afford to have dull
seasons. He must make each day
count, and he must push his bust
! ness if ne does not wish TO have
! his business push him. So to get
, in touch with the buying public,
to lei the shoppers of the city aud
state know what he has for sale,
he must more and more use the
columns of the afternoon news
papers. Thus it is that not here
alone, but all over the country, the
J afternoon newspaper goes for
ward. while the morning compila-
ton stands still or goes back.

SUFFRAGE IN VIRGINIA.

The decision of Chief Justice Fuller
and Judge Waddill that the United
States Court, sitting at Richmond, is
without Jurisdiction in the the action
brought by Negroes 10 upset the dis
franchising constitution OF the state
of Virginia, is a backset to cur enter
prislng and resOurceful friends across
the Potomac. A plucky fight was
made against the canyassing of the
vote for Congressman and the issuance
OF certificates to those declared elec-
ted under the alleged law. Capt. John
S. Wise presented an able argument.
and Lawyer James H. Hayes delivered
an address that has not been sur
passed in the state on a constitutional
question. The Virginians are by no
means discouraged. and Capt Wise and
Mr.. Hayes are determined to carry the
case to the Supreme Court of the
United States, besides instituting sup
Elementary suits in the several coun-
ties Of the state. IN the Court Of last
resort such eminent counsel as Elk
Secretary John G. Carlisle and EX-Sen-
ator John NJ Thurston will represent
the Negroes. Let this fight against
injustice be pushed to the end with
the same vigor that it has started. and
ultimate success will be achieved.
TINS is no time for hating effort or
despair Right is right, and in its
face error must eventually stand hui
inflated and abashed. Let the Ne
groes of North Carolina and Alabama
and Louisiana take heart from the
courage displayed by these sturdy
Virginians.

being made upon the callings previous
" confined TO the whites, where spec
ial education is required. While our
lies have been chiefly in the
field, the blacksmith shop, the mines,
forests and lumber mills, We are
spreading out and are finding higher
grade work in the textile industries,
cabinet making, as architects, setting
up intricate machinery, handling cleo
tricaI devices, Matchmaking and as
superintendent OF construction. We
are learning to guide and initiate as
well as to follow and initiate. The
reports of every scientist who has in
vestigated the labor conditions show
gratifying progress on the part of the
Negroes of the South toward a higher
degree Of skill in the liberal arts, a
keener ambition to become land-own-
ers and masters Of their business, and
a corresponding desire to secure an
education that Will fit them for sta
tions of honor and profit. The situa-
ton, while deploTable from a political
standpoint, shows a silver lining when
we turn to the industrial aspect pre-
sented by experts, and we should not
be slow TO seize the opportunities here
offered to ultimately ameliorate the
shadows that beset our path to full
citizenship.

THE LAW OF NATURE.

These street-car issues now being
fought out in New Orleans, Mobile
and elsewhere in the South. have
drawn out a great deal Of discussion
from the Caucasian papers all over
the country relative TO the separation
of the races. Those which reason are
practically a unit against separation,
regarding the idea as ridiculous, mis-
chievous and impossible. There are
restrictions in abundance, but for an
inf1eXibIe line of demarkatiCn between
whites and blacks, there is nothing
but failure, for the white man himself
will not be governed by its limitations.
A permanent solution of the problem
on a scientific basis mas not yet been
reached-and probably will not be, in
this generation. Here and there a
rabid organ will advise colonization
in a given territory on the American
continent; another will urge depOrta-
ton to Africa or to our insular pos
sessions; but the bulk of sOciolOgistS
admit the impracticability of any
scheme looking to the removal of the
Negro from the warp and woof of the
American body polite, and can see no
way TO acquire for the blacks any ter
ritory which the whites can be kept
out Of
The illogical aspect of the Caucasian
arguments from Dan to BeersheOa is
the refusal of the white man to abide
by the laws of natural selection. which
we cannot evade without producing an
anomalous or abnormal condition.
The race question is enc that should
be permitted to solve itself through the
survival Of the fttest, in an open
field. Society. let alone, can be trust
ed TO distribute itself Color, creed,
race, the language are all swallowed
up in the eternal force of personal
and individual affinity. Legislation
or custom can build. at best. only an
artificial wall, that will totter at
every breath Of reason.
Racial separation is impossible
The natural law is supreme Obedi-
fence to its mandates will do away
with the friction and worries that

DR.. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON

DR.. Booker T. Washington never
opens his mouth that he does not de-
liver a message that commands the at
tentiOn and sympathetic consideration
Of the right-minded people of two con-
tinents. In his latest utterance, this
illustrious example of Negro pOssibili-
ties has addressed himself to the sub
ject Of his life-wOrk, and his relations
TO public affairs. For some time there
has been a disposition in some quar-
tiers to nag" him for alleged interior
ence in politics, and to question the
advisability of conceding his position
as the recognized leader of the c0Iored
citizens Of the nation. There has been
a cIearly-defned jealousy of his
strength at the White House, and the
undisguised admiration of his worth
on the part of the President has been
the causes OF a series of onslaughts
and vicious attacks little short of saw
age. DR.. Washington rarely accords
the filings of petty adversaries the dig
nifty Of a reply, but so widespread did
the Misrepresentation become. and so
Yenomous in their nature, that he was
persuaded to make a detailed state
ment of his attitude toward the work
lngS OF the government and his rela-
tons thereto, as a means of setting
himself right in the eyes of many in
huential friends who might otherwise
remain deceived by the plausible false
hoods Of enemies. DR. Washington
describes himself as an educator
not a politician. and he strongly
proves it to be his duty and his right
as patriotic American and loyal race
man to give such information and to
make such suggestions as will tend
TO promote the educational interests
and general welfare of his people.
His statement is able, straightforward
and convincing. 1t is entitled to. the
credence of the country, and ought to
serve as an estoppel of the mean and
assaults of persons whose in
telIigence give reason to hope for bet
ter things.
Below the Colored American pre-
sents the salient features of DR..
Washington's broc hure, used in con-
nect1on with some significant COM
ments from the Washington Post, the
whole being worthy OF the slosest
scrutiny and most studious contempla-
ton.

ALTRUISM NOT DEAD.

The people Of Washington have
shown commendable spirit of liber-
atty and race unity in the support
they have given the various enter
tainments designed TO aid Richard
Cole IN retaining competent counsel
to defend him against the charge CT
numbering Mrs. Ada Gilbert Dennis.
In every quarter the boy is re-
garded as the victim of a
conspiracy. and the question
able methods employed to hold him for
grand jury action has aroused deep
sympathy in his behalf Contribu-
lions are still coming in, and there
is universal hope hat his release en-
come through habeas corpus proceed
1ngs, or by the grand jury's failure to
hnd sufficient evidence to warrant a
trial. In any event, the good people
OF Washington have shown that they
know when to make common cause in
behalf of a Negro whom they believe
is being outraged, and that they re-
gard an injury to one as a blow to all.
A splendid lesson in humanity has
here been shown. and it revives the
dropping faith of those of US who have
been growing pessimistic. Altruism
IS not dead in the hearts of the Afro
Americans of the nations capital.

Representative Spencer Blackburn,
Of North carolina, is what We call a
man. He went down in defeat at the
recent election on account Of the dis
franchisement Of the Negroes by the
democrats, and the freeZe-out given
them by the republicans. He is not
discouraged, however. and believes
that success will come when his party
returns to loyal leadership and stands
up for its early principles. Mr.. Black
burn wisely declares that he wants no
new-fangled politics in his, and that
he will remain an old-line republican
and await the turn of political events
