 senator Tillman took occasion to de- liver before the Senate yesI erday one of nis lectures on the race question. and Incidentally to rap the President gro soldiers who shot up" Brownsville. The Senator really added nothing of value to tho controversy. He devel- oped no new fact and advanced no new consideration. Reports Of his speech convey the impression that he spoke rather because he felt 1t incumbent upon himself to opcse the President because he had anything really valua- ble to say.

A COLORED MUSICIAN.

1t has been said, and perhaps
truly so, that the colored race is
naturally musical. This. fact is
strongly emphasized in the person
of Lee E. Greenway of Muscatine,
Iowa, who is sure to become one Of
our great Musicians. He.is celloist
and has organized the llrgest orches-
ira in Muscatlne, in fact the only
first class one in that part of Iowa.
He is the only colored boy in it.
The Muscatine Daily Journalpub
lished very nice story about the
organization and spoke very highly
about Mr.. Greenway.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Greenway spent last winter here
taking special course under Prof.
Nagle. We are proud to learn of
his success as he merits 1t.

Current Opinion with Editorial
Comment.
POTTER HONORS COLOR
ED MAN.

Richmond, Va, Oct, 19. -Bish-
op and Mrs. Potter of New York,
who have leased residence here
during the general convention of
the American Episcopal church,
last evening entertained at din
ner Bishop Ferguson of Africa,
the only negro entitled to seat
in the house of bishops conven-
ton.
The dinner given in honor of
the African bishop in the heart
the south, has been the occasion
of considerable comment among
those who dave heard of it.
This act alone commend the
depth and bredth of of a real true
christian man. It shows the lofty
spirit of real manhood. Like
President. Roosevelt he simply
had the opportunity and then had
the moral courage to do his full
duty without fear. We hope and
pray that Bishop Potter's act will
inspire other weak christians to
stand up land do the manly and
right thing.

Color Line in Real Estate.

White citiznns of the District
of Columbia have combined to
secure a legal Interpretation of
their right to draw the color line
under written agreements relat-
ing to real estate transfers an
attorney has been employed and a
test case will be fought through
the courts. Whenever a new ad-
dition to the city of Washington
has been placed on the market
the written pledge has been made
that negro residents shall not be
permitted to make purchase, In
each of the trunsfers it is covenat-
ed that the purchaser shall not
sell or rent to negro. But buy
ers have not hesitated to sell
when the price satisfied them.
1t has been taken for granted
that sale having once been
made to a negro and the title
transferred to him, any effort to
dispossess him because of agree
ments not to sell would be futile.
Moreover, it has always been
comended that the Fourteenth
constitutional amendment would
render abortive any attempt to
prevent a transfer of property to
a negro where the two parties at
interest we're willing to make the
deal. The particular case in
issue involves the sale of a piece
Of praperty in Bloomingdale ad-
dition to Francis Smith, a civil
engineer and a negro. Among
others who have contributed
money to fight the case through
the conrts is Samuel Gompers,
president of the federation OF
labor, whose home is in Bloom
ingdale.
It no doubt must be excruciat-
ing to the colored advocate OF
labor organization when the very
