Des Moines, Ia, Sept. 30th.-Last
week Scott Wise, the jailor, by au-
thority no doubt of the sheriff, stated
that he would draw the co.or line in
our county Jail having separate cells
for the colored women and white wo-
men and colored men and white men.
A public officer separating the crimi.
mails and vicious of the races! 1t is a
shame to the state, county and city
Of Des Moines to start such a Jim
crow business. We are surprised be-
yond expression that a republican
county official should attempt to raise
the color question In the public dis
charge Of his official duty. 1t is an
insult to every honest, reasonable and
respectable citizen in Polk county. II
is dangerous step for the republi
cans to take.
The Bystander has been very toler
ant about these injustices constantly
thrown at my race, but when public
servants whom we help nominate and
elect, discriminate on account OF color
then we will expose and will continu
ally speak our voice against such
gross injustices and monster inequali
ties practiced anywhere.
