his antagonist is at large, a fugitive
from justice. The fight drew a large
crowd and among others who came
to look on was a prominent city Off
cial. He hastily inquired into the
cause of the commotion and on being
informed that two colored men had
been involved in a fight and one had
severely, if not fatally, cut the other,
soliloQuizingly chuckled: ooh, is that
all. thought it was something, but
it is just two niggers. Such a small
matter ought not to cause such a
crowd as is here collected, for it
amounts to nothing" This city Off
Ger, generally speaking, is pretty
fair minded man and the writer is of
the opinion that he would favor a
colOred man if it was convenient to
him, but the disposition to make a
crime not a crime when the parties
are both men of color is here so well
illustrated that it was well to repeat
it, A few weeks prior, however, a
young colored boy and young white
boy got into a scrap down in the Ten
derloin and the colored boy got the
best of the white boy and was chased
to the very doors of the police head
quarters by an angry mob of white
men determined to lynch him because
he had hit or beaten white boy, and
the police were none too anxious to
save him from the angry mob. Now,
it is barely possible that both of those
young men had taken the law in their
own hands, and if so they both de-
served the same kind of treatment,
and perhaps the one that did the
cutting deserved even a worse punish
ment than the boy who merely used
his fists on his opponent, but one in
jured black man, which was not a
crime, and the other hit a white man
which was a heinous crime

SPOKANE PERSONAL.

Mrs. Emmett Holmes is now able

y on Take the Lead.

Rev. E. E. Makiel, who is now pas
tor in charge of the A. M. E. Church,
at Brunswick, Ca, is out in long
letter to Bishop Turner in the Voice
of Mission, advocating that the United
States is not the home of the Negro
and that he will never be other than
a slave, for which purpose he was
originally brought to this country, so
long as he stays here. If this be
true, DR.. Markell las you are pleased
to have yourself calledD, why in hea-
vens name don't you take the lead in
this matter and leave this country at
once for some point in Africa, where
luxury, home and happiness awaits
you and yours for all time to come?
It is strange that men like Bishop
Turner, DR.. Markell and others, who
are advocating the transplanting of
the American Negro to the shores of
Africa, do not lead the way in that
grand migration scheme and stand on
the sandy shores of sunny Africa and
beckOn to the benighted Americans to
come thither, where peace, plenty and
happiness abound, and where they can
make for themselves such a govern
ment as the United States herself is.
The Republican remembers quite we'll
when DR.. Markell was a denizen of
this section of the Northwest and it
remembers the many bad breaks he
made while purporting to be an ardent
minister of the gospel during his stay
in this section. He dabbled in poll
tics, he dabbled in corns, he dabbled
in first one thing and then another
and finally left Portland under a cloud.
This is not said because The Repub-
lican has any desire to do DR.. Markell
any harm in his new charge, but it is
said in order to show the spirit and
disposition of the man advocating the
Negroes pulling up root and branch
and leave the United States for At
RIGA. DR.. Makiel wouldn't leave this
country because if he did he would
be unable to succeed in his peculiar
methods of getting money, not only
from the members of his church, but
from the politicians In his new home
he is denouncing the Republican party
as being no friend to the Negro. Per
haps it is not, but it certainly is no
greater enemy to the Negro than the
dominant party in the state where DIR.
Markell now lives Whatever general
good the Negroes have gotten out of
this country has come through the
legislative hands of the Republican
party and while it may not have done
as much for him as it could have done,
nevertheless, it did what has been
done and it is always right and proper
to praise the bridge that carries you
across.

Just why crime committee by one
man is not just as heinous as that
committed by another regardless of
the difference in the colors of the two
men is what the average man with
common sense can't explain. If a
black man commits a crime against
another black man the officers of the
law are not inclined to give it but a
passing consideration, for, using their
own vulgar vernacular, they are only
nlggers. If, on the other hand.
black man commits a crime against
white man regardless of it's degree
in criminology it at once becomes a
most heinous offense, for which Dun
lshment cannot be too severely admin
lstered. 1t would seem to a fair mind
ed person regardless of his nationality
that criminal is a criminal and he
should be punished according to the
degree OF his crime and not accord
ing to the color of the skin or his
nationality. The officer of the law
should early arrive at the conclusion
that all criminals look alike to them

The officials Of the Bon Marche have
been giving some attention to the col
ored trade which patronizes that
house, and it was so great that they
thought it warranted them in employ
ing colored help about the establish
ment, and at present they have three
persons of color drawing salaries from
the concern. This is a pointer to
other places in this city, who abso-
lutely refuse to give the colored folks
any consideration further than to re
ceive all of their dollars.
Rev. S. S. Freeman, of the A. M.
E. church Of this city, gives it out
cold that he does not intend to patron
ize stores and places of business that
never see anything commendable in
the Negro except his dollars. He has
been very creditably informed that
the firm Of Frederick & Nelson is Just
such concern and he therefore went
elsewhere for furniture for his house.
That's the stuff Let the Negro throw
their trade to such houses as will do
the square thing by them by giving
some of their number employment and
much good along this line will be &C
complished. Spend your money among
your friends is a splendid rule

King county, powerful as she may be,
debating to them. Granted that Kit
sap and Jefferson counties should con-
tinue friendly to King county as they
have in the past even then the
chances would be so small in favor
of King county winning that it would
be too close for comfort. Therefore,
let the Republicans of King county
take tip from what has already been
said along this line and make unit

majority as possible, yes, larger than
ever before.

Treat All Alike.

1t was just such spirit as this that
prompted a high official in this city
at one time to cause the arrest of a
colored man, who edited a newspaper,
and had him thrown in Jail because
he, the colored man, had dared to do
what the editors of the daily papers
in the city had done: "Criticise a
white man." Now, it seems to the
writer that there is altogether too
much of that spirit running riot in
this country at the present time. If
ones public acts are open to criticism
one should expect just as much criti-
cism from one paper as from another
The mere fact that one paper is ed
tied by man who is of one kind of
color, while the other paper is edited
by another man of a different kind
of color should cut no figure in the
administering of justice to all men.
