the line of their county pledges.
That the work of the Hahn Democratic

Bernard Silver. head of the Silver Roof
ing Company, was fined $40 and $2.05 costs
in the Fourth Precinct Police Court today
for obstructing the streets in front of 100,
102 and 104 Wickliffe street. The complain
ant was Street Inspector Gottlieb Hanle.
Colonel Abraham Jenkinson, who lives a
block away from where the violation oc-
Cured. was a witness for the complainant.
The court had given Silver ample time
to produce a permit he claimed he held,
but when he did not do so today decided
that 1t was evident that he had no permit.
HE hasn't a street or sidewalk permit,
your honor" said Hanle.
"I1l put up a hundred that l have" re-
sponded Silver.
'In the absence Of proof I'll consider
that you lave not got the permit" said
the court. land I'll impose a fine Of $40
and costs"
The testimony showed that dirt that
caused the obstruction had been in the
street for three weeks and that the pile
extended Eve feet out from the curb ana
was at times three feet high.

PROHIBITION IN TENNESSEE.

In a special election held this week
GAINESVILLE has decided to abolish her
saloons. A merry war is on in Knox
vile between the saloon and the anti
saloon forces to have that city change
it's charter so as to come under the
provision of the Pendleton Bill which
would eliminate all the saloons. In
Chattanooga stringent laws regulating
the operation of saloons, eliminating
the chairs and card tables have been
adopted. Memphis is for higher IL
cense and segregation while in Nash
vile the fight for segregation and
Sunday closing has been crowned
with success. In striking contrast to
the fight in this city for the Sunday
closing is the fight being made in
Chicago. In that city Mayor Edward
F. Dunno was renominated on a plat
form endorsing open saloon on the
Sabbath. Chicago, however, is a cos
.mopolitan city. The temperance peo-
pie are in the saddle and from their
work is bound to result much good.
Fanatics, however, should be kept in
the background.

The Colorado Statesman, published

business of colored people, says: I'm

Der these articles are not printed to

He firmly believes that it is only a
matter of time when genuine merit
will be generally appreciated and lib
orally rewarded; and herein he is fur
nished abiding consolation and hope.
When Justice returns from british
beasts and our nation comes to the
place where it will recognize capacity
because it is capacity, then the now
glowing flames of prejudice will be ex-
tinguished and the good and wise Of
both ace will love and help one an
other in every possible way.
So it is not social equality that the
Negro of to-day contends for. He sees
nothing in it that could afford either
beauty or strength; and he is con
cerned only about the tangible things
of life. While law and order are be-
ms Knocked and Dixon and Page and
others of their stamp are preaching
on the Negro and social equality, we

fail Of our aspirations than God and
justice can fail.

LEGISLATIVE MOB LAW.

Texas, through it's state senate Mon
day gave an excellent exhibition of
mob law, when the charges against
Joseph Bailey, United States Senator
from that gate, were cast aside even
before the committee which had been
appointed to make an investigation
had time to draft its report. The
same spirit actuated this performance
as that which in defiance to all laws
and customs take a mans life.
AS to whether Senator Bailey is
guilty of the charges which were
brought against him, it is not for us
to say. But the reasonable thing for
the friends of the accused man, who
are in the majority in both branches
of the legislature, to have done, was
to let the committee appointed to hear
the facts present its conclusions and
then be governed by it's findings.
Bailey's probity concerns a greater
number of people than those OF his
immediate constituency, for as a
Senator of the United States he must
legislate for us all. The snap judg-
ment of his friends, instead of
placing him in the light of a perse-
cuted man, really makes him appear
as a shrewd, designing politician, pull
ing wires to have himself endorsed at
all hazards and gives color to the
many charges brought against him.
Since the Senate has the power to
Judge as to the fitness Of its members,
it is to be hoped that an investigation
will be ordered by that body.

COMMUNICATION
WHAT THE NEGRO OF TO-DAY
CONTENDS FOR.

To the Nashville Globe:
Or late much has been written and
said about social equality. Prejudiced
writer's and orators say that the SUI
preme desire of the Negro of to-day is
TO m1ngle with the white race in all
OF the various social circles of life.
ina great breeder Of race prejudice.
Ihomas Dixon, Jr., has said that the
Negro reaches his climax of sainthood
When he marries a white woman.
Again, Thomas Nelson Page. of whose
bitterness toward the truly rogre
slVe Negro all readers know, discusses
social quality at some length in the
March number of the McClure's Mag
azine. He says that the Negroes for
he most part understand by social
equality " = the right to stand with
white women on precisely the same
ground as that on which white men
stand with them" And in another
part of the same article he says. For
the new Negroes aspiration is to mix
with the whites" Numerous such
expressions constantly issue from
those who make it a business to stir
the baser passions Of men and thus
intensity the spirit of opposition and
riot.
1t is absolutely false to say that
the new Negroes aspiration is to mix
with the whites" The representa-.
tive members Of the race take a Just
pride in our rae identity and seek
vigorously and continuously to main
tain it. In our yearning for a HIGHER
and better state of things, social equal
ity does not come in for ever the
slightest consideration. In the light Of
facts the whites have done far more
in the way of mingling the two races
than we have; and if the great South
ern leaders and admirers would do
more Christian work among the male
members of their race and thus re-
press the desire on their part "to
stand with" black women, there would
be less of friction and more of pur.
ity.
What the Negro of to-day contends
for is an opportunity to exercise fully
all of the rights Of manhood and citi-
zenship. He contends for the spirit
Of the American Constitution. He
contends for virtue and peace and hap
piness. His aspiration is not ito mix
with the whites" but to prove himself
their equal in matters Of true educa-
ton and merit. The goal of his am
bition is to make his a race great and
powerful on earth-one which will ex-
alt civilization to grander heights ard
quicken the spirit Of Christian broth.
erhood.
The Negro of to-day contends for
amicable relationship between himself
and the white man, and he will do
any honorable thing to maintain and
strengthen that relationship. But he
will not in order to have great show
ers of appreciation sent down upon
him from the so-called superior race,
sacrifice any of the principles of man
hood. He believes that each race has
rights which the other is morally
bound to respect; and so in respecting
he looks to be respected. He believes
that individuals ought to be accepted
on their worth, and 10 the extent that
