Does the Negro Get Justice In Our
Courts!

Does the Negro Get Justice In Our
Courts!
Charlotte News.
II he Charlotte Observer
makes the sweeping state
ment regarding the negro:
He is not ill-treated nor
Disseminated against except
in the courts, and for the in
Justice done him there, there
seems to he no remedy"
As the courts are supposed
to he the final recOurce for
the obtaining ofjustice, wher
ever else injustice may be
done, this rather astoDish~
ing statement would m e a n
that the negro has no redress
for injustice anywhere in the
South. The statement is as
tonishing for another pr0po-
sision concealed within it,
namely, that the very same
men who will treat the negro
fairly and without discrimi-
mating elsewhere, become his
oppressors just AZ soon AS
they take their oaths of of,
fire.
And this statement goes
out to those who do not
know the South, to any Nor
thern exchange, for instance,
with this Wholesale accusa.
tion against our people and
with the note OF despair that
there is any remedy.
We suppose that the igno-
rant and defenceless class ev'
cry where are sometimes the
prey of the petty tirants who
TOO often get into the insig-
nificant positions where they
can fattpn on the fees which
it is TO their interest to col
lert from those that t h a t
they fine Yet it is seldom
that any deserving negro can
not get some friend among
the white people to see that
he is not Imposed upon in the
petty courts.
When a negro is able to
hire a lawyer it is nonsense
to say that his lawyer is not
as able and as willing to pro
tect his client "a though that
client were white. And as a
matter OF fact. in all the less,
er crimes for which the negro
is constantly appearing in
court, there is a very strong
feeling t hat he should not be
Judged too strictly, that he
should not be judged by the
white mans standard, even
though he is condemned by
the white mans laws. There
is a sentiment of pity in the
breasts of all decent white
m IN for the negro in trouble,
and the lawyers know how
to appeal to that sentiment.
I'm fact so evident is this that
we have sometimes heard the
question mooted, whether
the lpnioncy of the Southern
iuries toward the negro for
theft, drunkenness, end the
loose sexual relations that
obtain among them is not
a bad thing for the negro.
Who does not know that a
white man convicted of larce
ny would not receive just as
heavy a sentence ns a negro,
perhaps hea vier, and that
the sentence would he impOs-
ed with a good deal more OF
righteous Indignation than
in the case of the negro.
The only ground for all
this sweeping indictment OF
q whole people is in the mat.
ter Of those crimes in which
the negro IS envoIved with a
white man or a white wO-
man. 1t cannot he denied
that the race feeling enters
here. In the case Of crimes q,

The Washington Society of the Archaeo-
logical Institute fof America inaugurated
it's series OF public lectures for this season
with lecture Saturday afternoon in Co.
lumbar University Assembly Hall by Prof.
Joseph Clark Hoppin of Bryn Mawr Col
lege. II -
Professor Hoppin is specialist of note
in Greek vase paintings. and assisted a few
years ago in the American excavations of
the Temple of Hera in the ArgolId, having
supervision over all the pottery that was
discovered The results OF his work appear
in the recent publication of the Temple of
Hera issued by the American Archaeology
cal Institute.
for this lecture was Greek Athletic
Sports, as Illustrated by Vase Paintings"
Athletic sports he said, twere prac-
ticed by the Greeks for many centuries, and
many of these were older than Homer s
time. The great games, especially the
Olympic, were chief features of Greek ma
tional life. The successful athelete in these
games was a noted parsonage for the RESI-
of his life. General athletic sports were
practiced In the Palestra, or exercise
ground; Others more technical. In the gym
nasium, which contained baths
Running was the simplest and earliest
sport The chief forms were the long and
short distance runs. race In armor and the
torch race. The long jump was made with
the use of weights, and was preceded by a
rum Phayllus OF Crotus II said to have
jumped ffty-f1ve feet. Throwing the tave-
lin was also very popular, as were throw

TEACHING DEAF TO TALK.
Meeting of Directors of American As
ISOLATION for It's Promotion.

Meeting of Directors of American As
ISOLATION for Its Promotion.
A meeting of the board Of directors of the
American Association to Promote the
Teaching of Speech to the Deaf was held at
the residence Of DR.. A. Graham Bell. 1881
Connecticut avenue. Saturday afternoon.
The board members are DR.. Bell and Mrs
Gardiner G. Hubbard Of Washington, Miss
c. A. Yale of Northampton. Mass; Miss
Sarah Fuller Of Boston, DR.. A. L. e. Crou-
ter of Philadelphia, Mr.. Edmund Lyon and
DR.. q. F. Westervelt of Rochester, N. ".
Mr.. Richard o. Johnson of Indianapolis and
DIR. Joseph c. Gordon of Jacksonville ILL.,
One of the most important features of the
meeting was the action taken by the board
on what the members regard as the unwise
move Of the authorities of the st. Louis
Worlds Fair exhibition with reference to
the classification of schools of the deaf. A
resolution was adopted in which 1t is spe-
officially stated that all American schools
for. the deaf are distinctly educational In
character, being an integral part OF the
great school system of the country. In
view Of this fact 1t was resolved that the
placing of the exhibits Of these schools In
the department of charities and corrections
at SIT. Louis lis regarded by the board of
directors OF the American Association to
Promote Teaching Speech to the Deaf az s.
serious mistake. and the board earnestly re-
quests that the school work and living ex-
hibfts OF schools for the deaf be placed with
the purely educational exhibits. and sepc-
rated entirely from the department Of char
tiles and corrections at the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exhibition. and they especially re-
quest this In behalf Of all the day schools
for the deaf. wt1ich have at no time In their
history been under the direction OF boards
