The storm center Of the inevitable
race question in the District Of Column
bia again hovers about the courthouse,
in which is located the office Of the
Recorder Of Deeds and the historic
lunch room, where Members Of the
Bar"-and othersAare wont to congre-
gate about 1.-The noon hour Notwith-
standing the peTemptory order Of
Marshal Palmer that no discrimina-
tion shall be practiced in this govern
'ment building, the new proprietor has
been serving the races in separate
rooms. Yet, the concessionaire, by the
terms OF his agreement dares not re-
fuse any ,colored person who presents
himself within the sacred precincts
Of the "Bar"-room and asks for a
"tunchette." The other day, according
to the Washington Post, "a dapper,
chocolate :colored man. stalked into
the dining room reserved for white
persons and seated himself at one OF
the tables. The entrance Of the color
ed patron had it's sequel in the rapid
flight of several lawyers and court
attaches, who returned to their work
without their accustomed meal. The
colored man was served, paid the us
ual price and departed"
!, Just what the outcome of the cpl
'Bode WAS the report does not follow,
but 1T is safe to say that CONSERVATION
reigns in the basement Of the City
HALL, and that there is ample work
to keep the fool-killer, occupied for
an. indefinite period, If he should hap
pen along that way. The entire outfit
ought to be- carriedtO a physician and
be ,vaccinated for common sense.
And, let 1t be understood, that the
District of Columbia is federal soil,
and the Sumner CIVIL Rights Law, de-
cided by the United States Supreme
court to be null; and void as to the
states at large, is in full force here.
'fUncle Sam" has hard row to hoe
in trying to enforce his, mandates
upon his subjects, even In the Terrific
ry where he has absolute, positive and
unquestioned jurisdiction. And the.
Negroes who howl lin crow" the
loudest when any useful enterprise
is inaugurated by Negroes for the
benefit Of the race, are as meek and
submissive as lambs while their sa-
cred rights are being tramped upon
before their very eyes. Some sturdy
missi pnary work Is sadly needed
among the "dicty" elements of both
races; in the, District Of Columbia.

instructive, all bearing on, the bet

Ihe spirit of the Alumni Is nothing
1855 nor more than interest in, the
organization and good Of their Alma
mater. No unjust criticism has been
expressed concerning the school or
any member Of the faculty. by the Lo-
cal Alumni The wrong impression
has gone out that the Local Alumni
Dy some misused words, has serious
~ criticised the faculty, and the gen
geral management Of the Institution
some members Of the Alumni, and
especially the old members, have
said that the, faculty Seems indiffer-
emit toward them when they return
To- school; so much so that it gives
them no heart to return, but that is
TOT general. There are members Df
the faculty as we'll as the president
OF, the school, that are kind and
pleasant, and are not working only
for the poor salary they are getting.
but their whole heart and mind are
Tor the good OF the institution. Ev&

Jnstice Versus: the Negro in the Chi
u cago. Courts.

>. Chicago, May 2S.--All honor to
Judge Merritt w. Pickney, sitting in
the Criminal Court, Saturday, May
18th, when he declared that the Ne
gro did not receive square dealT
In the, Chicago courts, and threaten
ed to set aside the verdict in which
Malcolm Brudis, colored, was found
guilty of the murder of Arthur Ke-
hoe Brudis killed Kehoe by an
accident. Brudis and John Fleming,
a barber at West Lake and Roxy
streets, had some trouble because OF
MRS: Brudis. Brudis testified the
barber attacked him, when he remon-
strated, and he shot in self defense.
The bullet went wild, and struck Ke-
hoe, a spectator" e..
"A verdict that found 3 FIJI taii guilty
and sent him to the penitentiary for
Il years, was the occasion for the
remarks Of the judge. He also said:
1T is mans nature to defend his
wife, to fight for her good name.
We applaud the man who does it,
The fact that he is a Negro should
make no difference" If ever there
was man who deserves the thanks
of the entire Negro population Of the
city Of Chicago, it is Judge Pinckney
a fearless, courageous man and one
whose honesty commands respect
from all lovers of Justice and fair
play. Even those opposed to him
feel he has something in him which
they dare not oppose. Judge Pick
ney braved the storm Of his hearers
in the Criminal court to espouse the
cause of Justice for the Negro race
He felt it his duty. He was grand
enough, noble enough to rise to the
occasion and express in language as
strong aS the rocks Of Gibraltar his
utmost contempt for the prejudice
against the Negro in the city of Chi
cago. When he made his dramatic
remarks III open court all was silent.
Not one was prepared for this very
remarkable statement. The center
of interest had shifted from the pris-
oner on trial for his life to this
great man whose sense Of justice and
wrong had come to the surface and
had be]ched forth hot lava that
burned every one with whom it came
in contact. Judge Pihckney has look
ed the facts squarely in the face and
ifis sense Of honor would not allow
him to keep silent any longer. Honor
Will assert itself at any and all times.
One cannot help but be impressed by
IhC hOOlC SID IttNSu NY IH)S RI1L0Q
and honorable man. Uhdaunted by
a crowded court room he boldly pro-
claimed to the citizens Of Chicago
his belief that the Negro does not re-
ceive justice in the courts Of the
city Judge Pinckney is really o
great man. He is fairly entitled to
the highest rank among the benefac-|
tors Of the Negro race, When q man
champions the cause Of justice Tor
the Negro race he is fighting the bat
tie of an unpopular cause and he
must enter into the fight with cour-
age and tenacity' powerful arguments
and great deal Of vituDeration and
personality. BY his remarks before
the court the Judge has given alum
dart evidence that he possesses tall
eDts Of the highest order. When oC-
casiOn calls for them he seems not
to disguise his sentiments or modify
his utterances. Upon justice to the
Negro, no one seems to have spoken
more eloqnent?y than Judge Pinck.
