Black Skin VS.. White Skin.

In Shakespeare we have the fol-
lowing romances: ''Othello the
Moore we find the story of the
sable Moore making love to the
fair Desdemona; there was a white
suitor in the case; the dusky
Moor then said sLet us incision
make, to prove whose blood is red
dest, yours or mine" In this way
they were to prove whose love was
truest, and most worthy to win the
hand of fair Desdemonia Be
meath the outward covering of a
black skin there flows blood Just
as red as under a white skin. In
Holy Writ we find these words:
"Of one blood God hath made all
nations of men to dwell on all the
face of the earth If it is really
true that a Negro is inferior to a
white man because of his color,
why does not the same rule hold
good with other creatures, so that
a black horse is inferior to a white
horse, black COW to white COW,
etc. To conclude the one is as
absurd as to conclude the other.
The accident of race or color had
little or nothing to do with it.
There is nothing great in the
world but man, and nothing great
in man but mind Hence we be-
lieve with Pope, sho said:
"Were | so tall as to reach the poles
And grasp the ocean in my span,
II still be measured by my soul
The minds the standard of the maD."

Senseless prejudice is cropping
out everywhere against the Negro.
1t is enough to make one ask if
the American people are fools,
from the way some of them act.
Take up paper almost any day
and you will find that America has
gone mad because of massacre of
the Jews by Russians, or Armen-
ians by Turks. On the same page
it will also be seen that this or
that community has gone into
conniptions because a Negro has
been treated with civility by some
white man, who knows not man
by the color of his skin. but by
his worth. If this civility is ac-
corded him in the North, whether
in hotel or private family, the
South thinks it is its imperative
duty to lecture both the North and
the Negro on social equality. Ii,
on the other. hand, the Negro is
Disseminated against in the
North, as was the case few days
ago in Springfield, Mass, where
hotel keepers, with two exceptions,
refused to accommodate the Negro
delegates to the State Grand
Lodge of Odd Fellows; the South
ern white press makes it its duty
to lecture the North for not treat
ing the Negro better, and at once
becomes solicitous, sarcastically,
, about-the Northern press lectur-
ing 1.-The perpetrators OF this out
rage upon the man and brother.
And this thing is cropping out
more and more every day, and in
more ways than one. Why. here,
the other day some man made in
.qniry through Richmond paper
as TO whether the Richmond laun-
dries washed the soiled linen of
their white and colored patrons in
the same wash. And the editor of
that paper said that he would like
for the laundry that did to say so.
Reading between the lines of the
reply could be clearly seen the
threats of a boycott. Here, the
other day, in the National Farmers
convention, in plain, practical
discussion upon immigration, a
Southern delegate, and Virginian
injected the "social equality and
trace" question into the discussion
as pass at arms at the Northern
and Western delegates. In Gods
name, we ask is the Negro man
is he human? Is he a lineal de-
scendant of the first man-Adam,
whom God created in his own i'm
age? Does Holy Writ refer to
particular race of men when 1T
says that God "hath made of ONE
blood ALL nations?" Does the sa-
cred Word refer to particular
race when the Psalmist says:

er than the angels, and hast
crowned him with glory and hon

SENSELESS PREJUDICE
By Many of the American White People is Becoming More
Noticeable Each Day Toward the Unfair Treatment
of the Negroes

orr" Which is wrong, the God in
whom we believe and have our be-
ing or the man, Race prejudice
as it exists in America?
The Negro asks not social
equality with the whites as it per-
tains to those niceties which call
for an exchange of visits, etc; the
only equality he asks is that he be
allowed those civic and political
equalities that of right belong to
him, he being part and parcel of
our civic fabric. The Negro is
perfectly content with himself So
cially; separation on electric cars,
steam cars, steam boats, theatres,
hotels or anywhere else is agree
able to him, decidedly so, if the
accommodation is equal.
We know. that Negro washerwo-
men wash their clothes along with
the clothes of their white patrons,
Just the same as Negro cooks
knead their bread and roast their
meat along with their white en-
ployers, or as the black "mammy'
suckles her baby from the same
breast as that from which she
suckles the white baby, who would
otherwise die for lack of proper
nourishment; there is no social
equality in that, nor will there be
if he is given decent accommoda-
ton on public carriers and the
same in public ordinaries. The
whole thing in nutshell is a
mean, foolish prejudice of which
intelligence should be ashamed.

Wills Money and Property to Negro.

Macon, Ga, Sept. 13.-Unless
the higher courts reverse Ordinary
Wiley's decision Martha johnson,
Negro woman, will not partici-
pate in the division of the estate
of John Boardman.
In a decision handed down this
morning Ordinary Wiley allowed
the will to be probated as filed
with the exception of the eighth
provision, which makes a bequest
to the Negro woman, the section
of the will over which the fight
was waged.
1t will be remembered that the
will of Boardman, who died some
weeks ago, was filed in the Office of
Ordinary Wiley for probate, and
almost Immediately Mrs. Broad
man, acting as guardian for her
S-year-old daughter, Juliette, took
steps to prevent the will being pro-
bated
Broadman had one-fourth in

which has been estimated at SIS,
600, and of this he left one-half to
his daughter. He made several
bequests and $1,000 to Martha

"Many have thought says the
Seattle Searchhght, ''that indus
trial training was meant to make
the Negro work, much as he work
ed during the days Of slavery.
This is far from right. If this
training has any value for the Ne
gro, as it has for the white man; it
consists in teaching the Negro how
to make the forces of nature, air,
water, horse power, steam, and the
electric power, work for him, how
to lift labor up out of toll and
drudgery into that which is digni-
fed and beautiful. The Negro in
the South works, and he works
hard, but his lack of skill, coupled
with ignorance, causes him to do
work in the most costly manner,
and this has kept him near the
bottom of the ladder in the bust
ness world. Industrial education
teaches the Negro how not to
drudge in his work. Let him who
doubts this, contrast the Negro in
the South toiling through field
of oats with an old fashioned reap
er, with the white man on a mod
ern farm. sitting upon "A modern
harvester behind two spirited
horses, using machine that cuts
and binds the oats at the same
time, doing four times as much
work as the black man with one
half the labor Let us give the
black man so much skill and
brains that he can cut oats like
the white man, then he can COM
pete with him. The Negro works
in cotton and has no trouble so
long as his labor is confined to the
lower forms of work, the planting,
the picking and the ginning But
when the Negro attempts to follow
the bale of cotton up through the
higher stages, through the mill
where it is made into the finer
fabrics, where the larger profit ap-
pears, be is told that he is not
wanted. The Negro can work in
wood and iron; no one objects so
long as he confines his work to the
telling of trees, and saving of
boards, to the digging of iron ore
and making of pig-iron. But
when the Negro attempts to follow
this tree into the factory where it
is made into desks and chairs, or
when he attempts to follow the
pig-iron into the factory where it
is made into knife blades and
watch springs the Negroes trouble
begins.
And what is the objection?
Simply that the Negro lacks the
skill, coupled with brains neces-
sary to compete with the white
man, or that when white men re-
fuse to work with colored men,
enough skilled and educated color
ed men cannot be found to super

Breaking into the city jail here to-
day an armed masked mob of
"white ribboners" took out Moses
Lovern, a Negro serving 60 days
for assaulting James Butcher.
Taking Lovern and Thomas Black
burn, the only other prisoner, ac-
cross the river in a boat, upon
landing, the mob beat whipped
and stoned Lovern until he pre-
sumably was dead, Both prison
ers were returned to Jail. Lovern
will die. Blackburn gave the
names of eight men in the mob
and Prosecuting Attorney Shep-
ard has issued warrents for them.
The Negro needs a little more
time for improvement says the
Houston Post, "Under the many
difficulties clouding his pathway,
he is striving upward and onward.
Certainly he is seen in the wrong
light Many of the short comings
of the Negro are due to the wide
spread influence which has gained
popularity over the South that he
is clamoring for social equality.
The old Negro IS all right they
say, but the new Negro is the bone
of contention. He wears a stand
ing collar and refuses to lift his
hat and does not as his father did,
answer to the name uncle" In
order to please the white man, it
seems that he must possess just
so much knowledge and that of a
certain kind must strive to be a
good servant and never speak
above whisper on certain topics.
If one Negro commits rape itsis
presumed that all other Negroes
will do likewise and if one steals
all others are thieves. This is
wrong Those who try to be good
and help to uphold the law do not
feel that they have the respect OF
the community when they are con-
sidered in the same class as the
drunkard, the gambler the harlot
and the rapist. Give him chance
let him who will, come. Right
now the Negro does not know what
to do. The Negro needs sympathy
and the industrial caressess of his
white brother that the solution of
this question may be properly
dealt with. There are some bad
Negroes, we admit, but they are
hopelessly in the manority and
have no respect whatever from the
intelligent and thrifty ones of the
race.

Prcnesal Party
Mrs. E. w. VanlIousen G

Mrs. IL. w. Fanl1OuSen en-
tertained several young people
last evening at her home on
Crown hill, complimentary to
her sister, Miss Lydian Schultz
of Schuyler, who is visiting her,
at a most enjoyable Proposal
party. About sixteen were
present. After the guests had
arrived and the usual time had
been spent in talking and visit
ing, cards were passed around
with numbers on. Cozy cor
ners had been made in the diff
ferent rooms, and each girl was
given a number and told to
find her cozy conner. The
young men found their corners
by numbers corresponding to
the young ladies'. Plain white
ribbons were passed to the
young men and each girl was
given a ribbon with several
small hearts on. The young
ladies were to talk for five min
utes without stopping, but if
they stopped a second the
young man proposed and she
had to give him a heart. At
the end Of five minutes a bell
was rung and the young men
moved on to the next corner.
1t was a very hard task for the
girls to be compelled to talk so
much as none of them are in
elm I'd to do much talking, but
they certainly talked last night,
from the weather up. After
the young men had been at
each corner, hearts were count
ed and it was found that Miss
Ute Mckay had succeeded in
talking the most and had re-
tanned the greatest number of
hearts On her ribbon. Reuben
Coulthard was found to have
been the lucky man, having
been able to talk each girl
down and he had received a
heart from every corner. A
very swell mock wedding was
then given, Mr.. Coulthard and
Miss Mckay being the bride
and groom. They, with all
their attendants, formed at the
Cop OIL Ine STAIRS ana came
down to the parlors to the mu-
sic Of Lohengrins wedding
march. After a very impress
sive ceremony a reception was
held. About 1870 delicious
refreshments were served by
the hostess, assisted by Miss
Schultz and Miss Mckay. After
supper, music occupied the
time until a late hour, when
the merry crowd departed,
after having voted this as one
of the most enjoyable and novel
parties.
