Another circumstance having to do
with their failure Is the refusal Of the
government to issue passports to Mexico

Surprise is being expressed at the fact
that no indication has yet been given of
the salary that the Duke Of Connaught
is to receive when he takes up his new
position of high commissioner and COM
mander- in-chief in the Mediterranean. AS
inspector general of the forces he re-
ceives $4,000 per annum, and 1t Is said
that in his new position he will receive
something like twice as much. l learn
that the delay in announcing the figure
Is due to some friction in the cabinet over
the amount, and that, while the secretary

ably a democratic gain. 1t was much
smaller than Mr.. Hilton's figures.

tic way and ended their letter of
thanks with a dissertation upon the
ever present race questions, advising
all the colored people to be good.
The paper in question is one of the
best weekly journals in the South, and
it is surprising that it would use the
Union label. We could never see the
sense in a Negro newspaper, even in
the North, using the Union label,
though there may be an excuse, but
here in the South such a procedure
should be entirely out of the question.
The Unions stand for sanitary con-
ditions and a number of other things
which are good, but one of the basic
or fundamental principles of the
Union here in the South is that no
Negro can join. This is true of the
Typographical Union and we have OBJ
served that in other unions where
whites and blacks belong, a policy of
dropping the colored workmen has
been inaugurated by cutting off all
colored apprentices Our contempt
rary should drop the label If it can
not have its work done in its own or
another Negro office, then it ought not
advertise the fact that its work is be-
ing done by those who will not let a
member of it's owners race learn and
practice the trade.

THE POLICE.

The people of Nashville, who have
sat supinely by and sanctioned the
beating and shooting of Negroes by
those uniformed lords of all they sur
vey, on the theory that 1--WE must
keep the Negro down." are awakening
to the fact that these minions of the
law having had their way so long, will
use their "billies" upon any one who
dares to question their authority.
They have beat up Negroes with such
frequency and have been praised so
often by the city judge, who, as rule,
is an ex-policeman, until they have, it
seems, reached the conclusion that.
like the familiar quotation which holds
good in the case of the English king,
they "can do no wrong"
We hope that while the department
is undergoing fire for the brutality of
some of the officers, the whole force
will be taught their duties. And most
ought it be impressed upon
some of the DULLES that their supreme
duty is to preserve the peace.

THE POPE CASE.

At its annual meeting at Harper's
Ferry, w. Va, last August the Mia
CARA Movement assumed the expense
of defending Miss Barbara e. Pope,
who, as a passenger on the Southern
Railway between Washington, D. c.,
and Paeonian Springs, Va, had been
arrested for alleged violation of the
Virginia separate car law. The mu-
nicipal court of Falls Church, Va,
fined Miss Pope ten dollars, and an
appeal was taken to the circuit court
of Alexandria County, Va, where a
jury trial was had October 81 and 22,
1906. The trial resulted in a convic-
ton and another appeal was noted to
the Supreme Court of Virginia. When
the record reached that court the At
torney-General of the state adopted
the unusual method of confessing err
ror; and the case was returned to the
circuit court of Alexandria County,
Va, with instructions to dismiss the
case against Miss Pope and to remit
the fine By this method the SUI
preme Court lodged passing upon the
validity Of the separate car law Of its
own legislature. This was in effect
a victory for the Niagara Movement.
On the dismissal of the criminal
charge against Miss Pope, civil action
was instituted in the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia against
the Southern Railway Company for
$50. 600 The case came tn trial lime
3, and resulted in verdict of one cent
for Miss Pope. While the damages
are insignificant, the charge of the
judge and the verdict of the jury
mean that the Virginia separate car
law does not apply to interstate pas
sengers. The Niagara Movement has
thus achieved signal victory but be-
cause the damages awarded by the
jury were not proportional to the in
dignity and suffering caused to Miss
Pope, the case has been appealed.

COMNfUNICATION.
SOME INCONSISTENCIES OF NE
GRO PREACHERS.
10 the Nashville Globe:

10 the NaShV1lle Globe.
A few seasons ago a war was Waged
by a number of preachers against the
steamboat companies and a boycott
urged because the police were given the
authority to drive Negroes aboard the
boats and compel them to labor for
what was not considered Just wage
by them, besides being subjected to
the most brutal and inhuman treat
ment. Some of the leading" preach
ers and lawyers were behind a sub
sciptiOn raised for the purpose of get
ting our "just rights" before the law.
A case was singled out to be used as
an example and the little" Negroes
were bled for subscription, which
has never been heard of since.
The season is on now in full blast
and some of these same leading
preachers are leading their crowd
right aboard these same boats where.
according to the daily press, the police
are cracking them over the head and
leading few to the police headquar-
tiers. Some Negro preachers impress
one as being such forgiving animals,
more so than jackass, for he will
kick blow when he has been mis-
treated and not simply blow a kick.
This class of Negro preachers has
done more to retard the progress and
disunite the race than any other set
of men.
Now just watch for the bills making
the announcements and the papers
for the number of Negroes cracked on
the head or thrown into the river,
then go to one of those churches and
listen to a Jim crow" preacher howl
about the "buzzard roost" of some
theatre. All the reason hell won't run
over with these kind of preachers is
because it is a bottomless pit.
