How Trouble Originates Between the
Races.

Races.
Editor Courier: So much is being
said at this time about trouble between
the races that | think it
an opportune time to give
an experience that recently
came under my observation. Recently
| attended the packing house picnic,
where there was great crowd A col
ored man and wife entered car where
all the seats were taken except one,
where newsboy had some papers lay
ing. The party to whom | refer went
to this seat and waited for the news
boy to take his papers up. When the
papers were taken up the colored
woman sat down, but before her hus-
band could do SO a white man who was
on the arm of the seat dropped down
by her side.
The colored man demonstrated with
him for his conduct. but there was a
dozen or so of white men set up the
cry Hold to her, , hold to her,
Now suppose we turn the thing
around. Suppose it had been a color
ed man who had slipped into the seat
in that manner by the side of white
mans wife, would you have heard the
cry of Hold to her, --?" No, but
there would have been a man mobbed
or he would have been thrown through
| car window. But if that colored man
had struck down the man who was in
| the seat with his wife he would have
been murdered or men would have
been out today hunting him with shot
guns. This, Mr. Editor, depriv-
| ing the colored man of his social right
| with his lawful wife. These things
bring on trouble very frequently be
tween the races.
The negroes seem to be the under
| dog. And there are a dozen to hollow
''sic,' where there is one to pull off the
| topmost man. For two hundred an(
eighty years the black people have
been SO maltreated that the lowest o.
! the Caucasans seem to think thai
| they can insult and maltreat them witt
| impunity. But | firmly Believe thai
| there are host of Caucasians il

to be comparatively few who are put

their moral, social and political right!
ever since they have been in America
The injustice of bringing them herr
and making them slaves has, put ;

should be trying to lift off of them in
