CONGRESS AND THE COLOR LINE.

signed by the president, admitting
Oklahoma and The Indian Territory as
the 46th state Of the Union, under the
name OF the State Of Oklahoma, the
ect specifically permits the new State
of Oklahoma to separate the Negroes
from the other race in the public
schools.
Separation means discrimination

treatment will be accorded the Negro

Echoes Of the curtisHaII Wedding
Many sores and heart-burnings still
linger with some Of the four hundred
in connection with the Curtis-HalI
wedding, which set the town on IRE
last week. AS a result of this Bit
terness and soreness, the members Of
the Fellowship Club slapped DR..
]. B. Hall square in the face, by alb
solutely refusing to give a stag in his
honor, after his bride and her heal
managers had failed to honor Its
members with invitations to the wed
ding reception.
Entertained DR.. A. NJ. Curtis Of
Washington, D. c., brother Of the
new Mrs. J. B. Hall, by giving a stag
In his honor last Friday evening.
The thing was to come on on Thurs
day night, but it's members held It
over until the first mentioned even
ing In order to give DR.. Hall and his
charming wife enough time to Jump
out Of town, as they left for Boston
Thursday evening.
Some of the snobs and weak-mind-
ed leaders Of the four hundred in
this city are firmly Of the opinion
that inasmuch as Miss Hattie Curtis
or Mrs. Hall, who has in the past
been glad to accept Of Inequalities
from cheap janitors and their wives
and take them on social equality
with herself, never progressed any
further nor higher in her educational
effort than the fourth or sixth grade
in the common schools In this city"
and inasmuch as she never knowingly
received private or public instructions
In music nor in the higher branches
of learning, that "she is amply quail
fed to become the head leader Of the
four hundred Of Boston"

To the Friends Of Right and Justice.

l have no gall for enemies, nor bit
terness for foes, but peace and good
will for everybody. I am prompted
to address you these few words, not
as a strike-back, not as a defense.
but to express my feeling after a
most severe denunciation.
l have seen all in the life of the
Negro since the firing of the first

day; and am forced to say, that the
recent expressions of displeasure
show more clearly the capabilities of

has occurred since the bloody guns Of
Fort Sumter called the nation to bat
tie, which resulted in the humiliation
of human slavery on the American
Continent
For forty years without intermIs-
sion, have labored in the school
room for the advancement of my pee
ple-thirty-two of these forty years
being spent here at this place with
tie same Board Of Trustees, making
''bricKs without straw" out Of which
has grown Normal. Through all Of
the years Of my life to the present,
from the Pine Groves Of North Caro-
Hna, through the Richmond Slave
Pen and the Cotton Fields Of Alaba-
ma, have been true to my race. Ny
ears have been open to the cries OF
the needy; to the struggling school
boy, whether from the distant jungles
Of Africa, or the swamps of my own
country; the pulpit, undenominational
or Observation-Disclosures; orders and
societies Of every description, M
heart has throbbed in unison with
their cause and to their call where
ever saw aspiration or inspiration
for the uplift Of the Negro race. To
every cause and everybody I have
divided my strength and substance as
God has vouch-safed, ungrudgingiy,
my strength and substance TO me,
and without respect to race or con-
dftion, but with respect to my con
ception Of Gods generosity which
dispenses to all as freely as the COM
mon air is given. have tried to BE-
courteous, kind and helpful to every
body, regardless Of race or condition
and God alone knows how well have
cone my duty.
This characterizes my dealing To-
ward all men, white and black, OF
every condition and station. I give %
each justice, truth and right, as well
as the goods Of this world, as God
enables me to see it.
In the great battle for human

the Negro. we have no forces 70
spare, The united Negro race can
sooner come into the recognition Of
the civilized world than a race full
Of the energy Of internecine strife and
