Washington, Nov. 12.-According
to an opinion of Corporation Counsel,
E. H. Thomas, hotels, dining rooms,
restaurants, ice cream saloons, ETC.,
will have to serve GoloreG people ano
charge them no more than white GUS
toners pay. 8, =
The ruling is the result of a pro-
test of DR.. RobertsW, Brown, Of 1877
17th street, northwest, who COM
planned against the Determinations
in the cafe at Union Station. When
the Pennsylvania railroad main
tanned separate station there was
no discriminating g. bpt since the
Southern railroads have been using
the new Union Station jointly with
| the others, a system Of discrimina-
tion has sprung. up
The decision is highly gratifying
TO thousands of citizens, especially
| those who are compelled to travel,
and come here from northern and
western States, .wSere such discrimi-
nation does not exist.
Corporation Counsel, Thomas bas-
es his opinion upon section 3 of the

June 80, 1888, which provides, that
the proprietors of hotels, cafes, res
taurants, saloons, etc., in case Of re-
fusal to serve, sell or Walt upon any
respectable we'll behaved person on
account Of race, color or previous
| condition of servitude shall be deem
ed guilty Of a misdemeanor and up
on conviction shall he fined and shall
forfeit his or her license"
AS a result of this opinion, Major
Sylvester, chief OF police, has for
warded copies of fAe ;daw to Captain

is located, with Instructions to re

| The manner OF Senator Carmack's
sudden taking-off is q source of re-
Fgret to every law-loying American
Icitizen; and to every brave man 1t
was a cowardly deed done by cow
ard from the cradle up, The mean
estTour walking on two legs observes
a warning before he &is shot down. In
the environment Of honor bullets
have their place. For a male gossip
and slanderer the hemp were too
dignitied, but stick him full OF lead
only face to face and see the express
sion of dying snake. " s....
Senator Carmack Is mourned by
countless thousands in his native
State, all Of whom admired his cour-
age and his brilliant intellect, for he
was brilliant, as brilliant, but not as
solid, as Sargent S. Prentiss. But
among those with aching hearts and
tear-dimmed eyes in Tennessee, there
Is. no man Of color no man of sor-
rows and acquainted with grief. This
man, gifted with tongue of fire and
a pen that knew no bounds, might
have blessed q section and saved a
race. But he chose and, wrought
otherwise. He preached hate and
malice and murder, and said he'd BIO
pleased to battle his hands in the
blood of the blacks and .yeilows, half
whites, quarters and eighths. He
abused the innocent and slandered
every Negro VINO. attempted to rise
upon his dead self to higher, things.
He sat upon his throne in, Memphis,
the mightiest in the South, and
taught his gospel Of fear and muir
der and strife throughout Arkansas
and Mississippi and Tennessee. He
taught young men lawlessness and
old men the trick Of suspended con-
science. He arrayed white against
black and the devil against all. This
is the Carmack whose flaming words
inspired the mob that threw itself
against Ida Wells. This Is the Car
mack who wrote that the greatest
sight he could wish to-, behold was
that of every colored person In Mem
phis nailed to. a telegraph pole and
white men working on their flesh
with tailors' scissors. This is he, and
may God have mercy on his soul. Il
He is no more. His bitter tongue
is silenced and his blood-inked pen
is forever laid away He died as he
lived, in the midst of murder and in
the arms Of hate. He was gentle in
his private life and kind to those who
knew him we'll If he was a dema-
gogue, unlike the vulgar Vardaman,
he was a gentlemanlye demagogue.
The manner of his going Off reminds
US that, surely Vengeance is the
Lords, and He will repay.
Musing on the memory Of Car
mack and beholding the activities of
Daniels and Vardaman and Hoke
Smith, we can but thank God for
Henry Watterson, the emulation of
whose example we recommend to the
sons Of the cavaliers below the Po-
tomac.
