he begins to wonder aloud how long
that particular business will be run.
He creates distrust by predicting it's
failure, and prides himself upon his

A plague on such folk! Even if
you do not personally like the Negro

THE LIMIT.

For the whites to draw the color

but what's to do when Negroes them
selves adopt this despicable method
to further their ends
AS stated exclusively in The Ad-
vocate last week, the Colored Metho-
dist church is in the throes of a
campaign leading to the election of a
bishop. The issue is not one of merit
Of fitness, of piety, Of Christlikeness,
but-we blush to say it-color.
Delegates are being asked to sup
port a candidate for bishopric sim
ply because he is black 1t matters
not that his chief opponent is the
more available, better qualified in all
respects. Cruelty him! There are
already too many bright skinned men
on the bench Of bishops"
The spectacle afforded BY these
warning brethren in a church of
Christ would be laughable, but for
the large element of pitiable igno-
rance they. or rather, one of them,
displays. Even the Sphinx could not
restrain a smil lie at the thought of
Negroes, of all people, setting up the
color line as a bar to preferment to
office. This is the limit. 1t there be
any lower depths Of folly into which
an aspiring near-bishop may fall,

BLUEFIELD'S JIM GROW ORDI.
e, NANCE.

Since Bluefield will have saloons,
1t is not such a hardship as appears
from first sight, that the liquor
drinking Negroes in that city should
be compelled to purchase their re-
freshments from the sole saloonist
of color, or pay a stiff fine.
The commingling of the races in
baEFooms is responsible for much of
the friction existing today. There
they come into close contact and their
passions intlamed, their pugDacity
excited by bad whiskey, overthrow in
an hour what the better element has
been months in building. Blueheld's
proposed ordinance will minimize this
danger, for whites will be restricted
to. saloons conducted by men of their
race, while the Negroes must ge,
their "booze" from a Negro, or &c

greater disgrace TO our republican
institutions, the lynching of de-
fensless man by a mob, or his trial
conviction and sentence by the reg,
Hlarly constituted authorities intim-
idated by . mob.
That is what happened in Ken
tuoky a. few days ago. A Negro ac
cused Of criminally attacking a white
woman was brought from George
town to Williamstown for trial, al
though feeling was known to be al
fever heat in the latter town. The
TRIAL was held in a court house filled
and surrounded by men eager to take
the law into their own hands. Found
guilty, the only verdict to be expect
ed under such circumstances, the
criminal was saved from the immedi-
ate death at the hands Of the enraged
ctFizens only by the solemn promise
ofAtha trial judge to order the hang
ing to take place within thirty days
There is no disposition on the part
OF the law-abiding Negro to condone
the crimes of the l5Wless element
Rather they look 'dpon every out
break of this nature as lnimical to
the harmonious relations between the
races which all DESIRE to- see obtain,

know that there is no .semblance of
