Government ownership of railways has proved
deficient in representing strike in the Austria Hun
garian empire. On April q the employees on the
Western Hungarian railway all struck to enforce a
long-standng demand for increased wages and the
men on the other government roads followed suit
completely tying up traffic except the private rail
ways. The nine Hungarian state railways operate
about $500 miles, while the dozen or more private
lines, mostly very small, aggregate less than 1000
miles The government lost no time in arrestng
hundreds of strikers by virtue of their connection
with the military service, and took such vigorous
steps to fill the places Of those who did not promptly
return to work that on the 26th it was announced
that the strike was ended, and that passenger and
freight trains were again running regularly What
effect this demonstration for better pay will have on
the parliament remains to be seen but the event at
least seems to prove that labor organizations have
much less chance of winning in their demands on
railways owned by the government than on the lines
of corporations.

We very frequently are forced to
wonder why some white people get it
into their heads that they can insult
ro-Americans with impunity. They
make propositions to Afro-Americans
they would never think of making to
am other class of citizens. Lieut.. G.
S. Haight (who evidently hates Afro
Americans) of the Fourth u. S. Cav
airy, military aide to President Fran
els and director of the military camps
at the Worlds Fair. after having as
signed the Eighth Illinois regiment to
position in the regular military
camp learned that the regiment was
composed of Afro-Americans, wrote to
Col. John R. Marshall, commander OF
the regiment asking him if he would
consent to give up his assignment in
he regular camp and occupy a camp
in a remote part of the grounds. This
81 course Col. Marshall refused to do
and the regiment decided to abandon
its trip to the fair. The matter was
brought to the notice of the War De-
partment and Lieut.. Haight was re-
ouested to resign his position at the
Fair. Afro Americans are just the
anne sort of human beings others are,
with the same sense of justice and in

Made Rope That Hanged Brown.

Jordan D. Scott, the man who made
the rope that hanged John Brown, is
dead at his home in Tippecanoe coun-
ty, Ind. He was 80 years old. It was
while in slavery, near Harper's Ferry,
Va, that his master ordered him to
make the rope to be used in the exc
cution Scott, with unwilling hands,
constructed the hangman's moose and
witnessed the execution. He asserted
that he. kissed Brown while he was on

Mrs. Terrell in Berlin.

The woman who made the best ap-
pearance on the platform of the con-
yention, according to M. Remy, was
Mrs. Terrell Of Washington, "a lady Of

CT manner, gracefulness and force of
gesture and naturalness of expression
was ahead of all the other, '<oratrices. .
Mrs. Terrell spoke in German with the
same fluency and ease as in her native
tongue. She is the daughter of slave

delivered one speech in German and
another one in equally good French.

made to learn the true status of
case in which any Afro-American is
implicated. but any sort of rumor or
allegation is gladly, eagerly accepted
as true without investigation; and, in
many cases, the fervid Imagination of
some ambitious but prejudiced re-
porter is drawn upon. Any little
clash between blacks and whites is
termed Race War" in which the
blacks are invariably said to get the
worst of it. Ii an Afro-American is
accused of any sort, of crime, instead
OF endeavoring to learn his or her
name. so as to fix. the crime upon
some individual, they simply say a

are used with malice aforethought;
they knowing that it makes no differ

his race color or creed. The Good
Book says it is better that many gull

honest desire on the part of the dom
inant race that lawlessness should
not increase, their newspapers can do
much toward preventing it from so
doing by not making mountains out
of mole hills and by not making black
criminals worse than their crimes, as
they now seem to be Systematically
