PROSECUTION.

"Tnis appears to be all the present

cutting somebody.
"The Department of Justice, de-
clared member of Congress, was a
department of ignorance.
Bringing it close home, the dis
patches announced daily the last week
that the Nashville, Chattanooga & st.
ST. Louis Railway is to be prosecuted
for failure to equalize the service of
white man and black Four or five
niger bishops went to Washington
and told Roosevelt this road did not
sweep out the car the Bishops were
put in, and that the rules of the COM
pany, not counting the laws of the
State, forbade niggers eating and
sleeping with white people, and that
is the whole grievance.
"The complaining negroes do not
want equal accommodations. They
want to share the same accommodate
tions.
Roosevelt listened to the Bishops
and told the Department of Justice so
the dispatches say, and suit was or
dered. Why not submit to the Inter
state Commerce Commission or to A.
M. Tillman for the purpose of learning
whether there's any distinction OF
cars and service on the Nashville
