The T. P. A, at Buffalo.

~ H. .
The Times Dispatch has. without 80
intending, been put in the N position OF
giving offense to the people OF the city
OF Buffalo. There appeared ii, our coll
unns on Wednesday a short article con-
ccrning the manner In which visitors to
the National T. p. A. Convention were
entertained. This article crept in under
circumstances which It is needless to cx-
plain, and Its publication was not intend
ed or approved. but on the contrary
was deeply regretted.
We beg to assure tho people OF Buff
falo. both men and women. and our.
friends OF the T. P. "A. that It was not
our purpose to question the hospitality
and proper conduct Of the one or, To-
arouse unpleasant feelings among the
other. We entertain the highest regard
for both.

a Knock for the University.

In an article on the QllLer ellce IVY "SSAA
college ands university the Augusta
Chronicle says.
"The University Of virginia, alone, SO
far MS we are aware, has steadily held
TO the university or elective system from
Its foundation to the present time, and
as itperhilts d student to take but three
studies each year, 1t can 'readiy be seen
}that-withA the exception OF Flaw and
medicine. which require only two years.
no one, as a rule, can afford to- take q
degree there, those seeking special In
formation being the only logical attend
ants.''
Where the Augusta Chronicle got the
Impression that the University OF Yir-
ginia allows students to take only three
studies a year We do not know, but It
is utterly erroneous. There Is no such
restriction. student Is allowed to take
as many 'tickets"8sas he can keep up
with, and If he be able to take the high
est degree In ono year he, is welcome to
do So.
The University degree OF "a. NJ. has
been taken in two sessions. and during
the present year Richmond student
who had taken his A. B. degree at an
other institution took the University a..
M degree after having attended the
University courses only one session
The Chronicle Is also at fault in say.
ing that only two years IS required for.
a degree in the law and medical schools
Of tho University. That is true Of the
law school. but a four year course IS
required for$the degree OF NJ. D. #4

IA defiance OF popular protest. It may
refuse to follow the example of the

course, because an act Of Congress gives

policy It is RECKLESS stupidity for a
company: which, Is seeking the patronage
{ Of a rich and progressive city like Rich
mond to treat the city laws with con-

people. al
The western Unions wires are dan.

will hold the Western Union responsible
4 for every such accident.
No matter what plea the company may
make, the people will reply, IF you had
put your wires underground the acci-i
dent would not have occurred
The Western Union complains that the
terms OF the ordinance are harsh. But
the Postal Company has accepted it and
seems to be living comfortably and profit
ably under Its operation. II the West
ern Union is wise, It will do likewise,
or. at least. offer a reasonable compro-
mise. The goodwill OF q city like Rich
mond is worth having, even by SO rich
a corporation as the Western Union

The Fifteenth Amendment.

In the course of an address before tho
u Alumni Association OF the University Of
Georgia. on tho disfranchisenent OF tho
i negro, Hon. William II. Fleming. Of
4 Augusta said: @.
How. them are these two purposes,
q 10 put out all the negroes and. put in all
y the whites, to be accomplished In the
4 face OF the prohibition OF the fifteenth
amendment? Clearly, 1t cannot be done
by open avowal In the sody OF the law,
4 because In that event the law would
convict itself in any court In the land.
How then is thlslarowea, purpose TO be
accomplished? Pardon ne. my friends,
but let us face the truth; the scheme
must be to disfranchise the negro by a
fraudulent administration of the law In
no other way Is II possible to produce the
promised results. Legislative ingenuity
must be backed by administrative fraud
a else the avowed purpose cannot be ac-5
compllshed."
Mr.. Fleming has stated an extreme
case. OF course, no State can admit 10
! franchise all the whites and exclude all
the negroes, without violating the spirit
OF the fifteenth amendment, but It is

petent negroes. without such viola ton

against the production of the play,
claiming that "lynchings have been
encouraged BY the play" The mayor
refused to take any action.
About a half hour before the
theatre opened, Ninth and Walnut

Director of Public Safety Mckinley,
who realizing the danger. had hasten

who seemed to have complete control
of the multitude to dispense the mob.
Riot Call Sent In.
A riot cali was sent in and five
police patrol wagons brought half a
hundred policemen to the theatre.
The eolored ministers surrounded
Director Mckinley and demanded
that he stop the play, The director
delivered a brief speech, asking the
crowd to dispense. and saying that
he would endeavor to have the play
discontinued after tonight. This
seemed to have a soothing effect on
the crowd, and it slowly scattered
Early in the morning a colored man

the police had considerabledifculty
