That the Indian uprisings on the

By the telegram received by the interior

The telegram was as follows:

One afternoon last week two
South Side Society women were ac-
costed on the street by white man
who persisted in questioning them
concerning their address and when
he could see them. The only reason
the ladies did not order the Sound
rels arrest is because there was not
an officer in sight neither was there
a Colored man about to whom they
could report the mans conduct. In
speaking of the incident one of the
ladies said this is the second time
| have been accOsted on the street by
a white mantle first insisting upon
my leaving the street car and joining
him at supper" The chances are a
hundred to one that these towards
who insult women on the street-pick
their chances when there is not an
other man in sight who might come to
the assistance of the person or per-
sons insulted and give them the
thrashing they deserve. They are the
same low-bred rascals who have a fit
when they discover a COlored man
seated beside them at a lunch counter
or in a street car. Most of them are
Southern born, and the sight of a
Colored man talking to a white wo-
man suffices to make their blood boil
and wish they were down home
where a crowd of us could get tOgeth-
CT and lynch that "Nigger" to the first
tree" We do not advocate lynching

tered to Negro in a town about
four miles from my home. II
used To be that the Negroes,
when they became so in debt 10
a landlord that they could not
see their way out. would run
away over the Arkansas line and
there start a new life. Up to a
short time ago. it was the custom
TO gather a posse of white men
in the neighborhood. ride over
into Arkansas and whip these
Negroes back to Louisiana. if
they could be located. and force
them to go on working the land
from which they had run away.
These Negroes were actually
whipped with blacksnakes. Since
the "Peonage" cases have stirred
up so much agitation the whites
have been afraid TO whip the Ne
groeS. and have been rather more
careful about forcing them to re-
main on the land than they used
to be. However, Arkansas has
set her foot down on the whole
procedure of whipping Negroes
out of her territory, so this mat
ter has been somewhat straight
ened out. Another force which
has made it advisable for the
whites to lay down the whip is
the fact that today, most of the
Negroes carry revolvers. and
they do not hesitate to affirm that
they will shoot a white man who
attempts to whip them, even
though they know they will be
either siI1t or lvnchcd the next
minute for doing it. They prefer
death TO whipping, at least, so
they have told me. At any rate
whipping has rather gone out of
style in Louisiana in two years.
The right of the Negro to vote
is the merest farce. but he is
not so much inundated in the
exercising of his franchise right
as he used to be, and an intelli-
gent Negro can vote without
danger of personal assault. but
the blacks have become so ac-
customed to fearing to vote, that
they have quite gotten out of the
habit. For this reason the Negro
vote amounts to nothing at all
as a factor in politics, unless the
white people wish to vote down
prohibition. when the Negro vote
is made use of. If there should
be evinced the slightest sign of
a general Negro vote, the white

CROWD Kisses STAGE mick"

Last week in New York city. while
Russell Brothers were playing in
Hammerstein's Victoria Theater, and
assuming the roles of Irish servant
girls, more than two hundred people
Kissed and greeted them with, cat
calls, and such a noise was kept up
until the curtain was rung down. and
that part Of the Irish play was elm
mated from the program.
On that same evening it was also
announced that the United Irish So
cieties will pursue the same course
in every local theater where, in thei"
oT:aiCn, actors are holding the Irish
race NJ to ridicule and scorn.
This plainly indicates that the Irish
-aople will not stand for having their
race vilified or slandered. but We re-
gret to say that there are some so
called liberty loving Irish-Americans
n this city, who entertain the idea
hat Colored Americans have no NOR
