Is it due to envy and jealousy, or
is it the result of the contentious char
acter of the blood that goes to make

the pure blacks we can boast of the
blood of nearly every nationality, and

what might otherwies have been a COM

and judgment. That Mr. Morris had

parent-the first speaker who endeav-
ored to defend Mr. Washington was
roundly hissed, and it was necessary
for the President of the Society to
make an appeal for fair play. 1t was

Mr. Morris then constituted him.
self a grand jury and brought in an
Indictment against Mr., Washington
consisting of four counts:
1st That the defendant in a book
written by him stated that the Negro
was inferior in capacity to the whites.
I'd. That he spoke in ridicule OF
having seen Negro boy in log cabin
studying a French grammar.
3d. That he asserted that some col
ored girls up to sixteen years of age
had more use for a tooth brush than
a piano.
4th. That he was in a measure re-
sponsible for lynchings.
After empaneling his hearers as a
jury, Mr. Norris next assumed the role
of Prosecutor and proceeded to prove
these charges. Then putting on his ju-
dicial robes he instructed the jury as
to the law and the Evidence in the case,
and concluded with: Now, ladies and
gentlemen of the jury, I have shown
you so clearly the guilt of the accused
that you will bring in a verdict of
guilty, without leaving your seats.
At this juncture one of the anti
Washington claquers appointed him
self Foreman of the jury and moved
that Mr.. Morris, conclusions be made
the verdict of the colored people of
the District of Columbia. The jury
was so dazed and amazed at the au-
dacity and mendacity of this exhibition
of legal legerdemain that they were
about to allow themselves to go on rec
ord as particeps criminis in pre- ar
ranged coup, when a stay of proceed
ings was secured, and the defendant
given a fair and impartial trial.
The charges were examined into and
it was found: 1st. AS a mass the Ne
groes have not the capacity of the
whites; that the latter have been brain
culturing for hundreds of years, while
the Negroes have been land culturing;
that the door of opportunity has been
open to one and closed to the other;
that the environment. of prejudice and
discrimination has retarded the pro-
gress of the blacks; that while their
advance during forty years of freedom
has been phenomenal, they must ac-
quire mental and material advantages
before they can hope to be placed on a
plane of equality with the greatest race
the world has known. I'd. That the
black boy in the log cabin had more
use for an English than a French gram
mar. Sd. That the use of the tooth
brush is the doctrine of cleanliness
next to Godliness, that the race needs
to be schooled in lessons of sanitation
to reduce the terrible mortality that
exists, especially among children. 4th
That the charge as to the responsibility
for lynching was too frivolous and alb
surd to be given consideration.

Since emancipation no colOred man
has attracted the attention of the
world, commanded the money of phil
anthropists been honored and respect
ed at home and abroad in the same
degree as DR.. Booker T. Washington,
and it is because he is engaged in a
work that is benefitting humanity
He has built up at Tuskegee, Ala,
city upon a barren waste. Is at
the head of a great Industrial Institu-
tion of his own creation that has sent
out thousands of graduates. Is active
ly engaged in the preparation of
young men and women for the activ-
tiles of life, and has indelibly i'm
pressed his personality upon the times.
His is a grand work by a great man.
Now comes Mr.. Edward Morris Of
Chicago, with a lecture before the
Bethel Literary and Historical Soci-
ETY. on "ShamS." Skillful as rheto-
rician, apt in anec Totes, adept in illus
tration and with the impressive and
convincing manner of a welI-trained
and thoroughly equipped lawyer.
Having practised law for number
of years in the Windy City" his knowl-
edge of ''Shams' is extensive, but it
has so impaired his confidence in men
and warped his judgment, as to make
him skeptical and agnostic.
His address indicated that he be-
lieved in nothing human or divine
unless irrefutable proof could be pro-
duced to convince him of his error
He seems a persistent seeker after the
rift in the lutte. Thespeck on the ap-
pie, the slightest and most insignificant
flaw that vivid imagination could
magnify into a glaring 1mperfection.
His audience was entertained with
a generous display of verbal pyrotech-
mics, designating Mr.. Booker Wash
ington as a modern Moses, to pre-
pare them for an X-Ray Exhibition
of the mistakes of Moses in imi-
