EnrToR CoLoRED AArERICAN:-


published in your last issue, bearing
uDon the recent sermon preached by
Dr Grimke, on the subject of temper
ance. in the course of which the good
DoctOr declared that no man who sells
Iiouors in a hotel or restaurant should
he received into the homes of decent
peOple In this matter, as in some 9TH
ers DR.. Grimke shows himself wanting
in practical knowledge of the progress
of the world, and also exhibits mar
rowness which is not praiseworthy-
There is a class of colOred people, in
ending such as Dr. Grimke, who are
continually going into Mysteries over
their loyalty to the race, but immed-
lately condemn any colored man who
aspires to succeed in business by the
same methods which the white man
has used.
There is not a decent white hotel in
Washington which does not sell liquor,
and if this business is no disgrace to
such hotels as the Arlington and the
Riggs House, why is it disgrace for
our colored restaurants and hotels?
DR.. Grimke even goes so far as to con-
denim any one who stops Or eats at a
colored hotel or restaurant where
strong drinks are served. But when
the YP. S. c. E. held its meeting here
some time ago, the headquarters OF
these good people we're at the Airing
ton, where drinks were sold every day.
That, to DIR. Grimke's thinking was all
right; but that Negro should sell
liquors in a hotel gives him mysteries.
The fact that man stops where IL
ouor is sold does not compel him to
drink. unless he chooses. The Man
haitian Hotel, in New York, has two
bar-rooms, the Waldorf Astoria, two or
three and The Fifth Avenue Hotel, as
many Does DIR. Grimke condemn Pres
ident Mckinley Tor stopping at the
Manhattan Hotel, where liquors were
sold? The late Rev. d. L. Moody, and
Rev T Dewitt Talmage, both stopped
at hotels where drinks were sold, and
the writer does not overlook the fact
that Rev Dr. Grimke, himself, recently
called, in company with other Wash
ington gentlemen, upon the Rev. DR..
Babbitt, of New York, who was in
hotel which had a bar-room. OF course,
in DR.. Grimke's estimation, the fact
that he called to pay his respects to a
white man in white hotel, instead of
a black man at black hotel, seems To
excuse him from this apparent incon-
sistency. We presume that he would
have felt himself eternally disgraced,
if he had called upon a black man, how
ever eminent his achievements, in
black hotel guilty of selling liquor.
How does DR.. Grimke, or any other
man expect the Negro to succeed in the
restaurant business without selling IL
quors. when white men do not 10 1t?
Our ministers would place themselves
where they would have greater respect,
and a greater following, if they would
sometimes introduce little common
sense into their sermons, now and then.

In his souvenirs dun Voyage" M
Spoil describes visit to Arabia and
the attempt of an English friend TIC
buy an Arabian horse. The Englishman
was at great pains to induce the Arab
who owned the horse to agree to sell
him. He persuaded the man to make
an appointment to conclude the sale
after employing ''as much diplomacy
as would be used in a year in making
or breaking the balance of power in
Europe"
On the eventful day the Englishman,
with Nj. Spoil and M. Lascaris, rode to
the rendezvous and found the Arab sit
ting by his horse, which was browsing
quietly.

then 10000 more. The Arabs eyes
shone. Ten thousand piasters more won
him. "Ah," lie said, going up to his
magnificent animal, eve must part"
The Englishman began to bride the
horse. The Arab sobbed. Suddenly the
intelligent animal, perceiving his new
owner. sprang away and neighed
mournfully. No one could doubt that
he knew what was going on.
With one bound the child of the des-
ert was in the saddle. "Adieu!" he said.
Your money could never replace my
only friend!' And he vanished in a
cloud of dust
"Stupid.' cried my English friend,
and then we rode home in silence.

May Resist Tax.

It is probable that the Yazoo &
Mississippi Valley, the Gulf & Ship
Island and the Canton, Aberdeen &
Nashville roads will resist. the col
lection Of the special privilege tax
levied on all roads, which claim an
exemption. These are the only three
roads in the State which claim an
exemption. This law was passed
by the last legislature and the roads
took the case to the courts. 1t was
decided against them by Judge
Powell some time ago, and the case
was appealed to the State Supreme
Court, where it is now waiting its
turn. Until the case is decided by
that tribunal it is probable that the
roads will refuse to pay this tax next
year. On the assessment blanks
sent to the collectors of the coun-
ties through which these roads run
there is a column in the assessment
blank for this tax.

Scientists seem to be puzzled that
anyone should carry about so useless
a thing as an appetite and q taste or
ldistaste for certain fruits and table
preparations. All such trivial pecu-
1iarities of the animal man are to be
ignored. Likes and dislikes are to be
1oftily ignored, according to the pro-
fessors. One of the joys of living to
most unetherialized persons is eating.

Land Commissioner Nall makes a
report for the fiscal year ending Oc-

647.39 collected and paid into the
State treasury during the year. This
is an admirable showing. The re-
ceipts which go to make up this
amount come from various sources,
including land sales and fees. These
figures do not quite come up to the
receipts Of the two previous years,
but then it should be considered that
the State lands are gradually becom-

growing less every year.
