THE RETROGRESSION OF THE
NEGRO.

The following extract from the
news department of the daily press
explains itself
Providence. r. l., Jan. 1O.-To-
day saw the elimination Of the ne
gro as a hotel waiter in this city
The last OF the big hostelries gave
its colored walters notice several
days ago and today white men TOOK
their places at the tables.
A representative of the hotels
said: Yes, we have put on all white
walters in our dining rooms and
cafes. AS a matter Of fact, We have
been behind hand, for you will find
that all the first class hotels on the
European plan have white walters
today, and all we have done is TO
fall iptO line, and not only on the
question of walters, but in several
other lines. That's all there is to it, Z"
The explanation given for this &C
tion is practically no explanation to
the conservative colored man who is
seeking information as to the causes
for these changes. There is no allie
cation that the old employees were
incompetent. All there is TO It is
that the guests seem to demand the
change in order to be in line with
the most modern hotels of the
country.
Some of our people take a
pessimistic view of the situation and
they see in It the deterioration OF the
colored man as an employee. We
see in It the spread of the dark cloud
of Tillmanism that has swept from
the South over many sections OF the
North But the question with us,
is what will be the result of this in

couHtry schools need teachers, our
farms need cultivation, our colored
contractors need competent help and
Southern Democratic white men need
common laborers IN their business.
Honesty and politeness are the
most valuable assets TO obtain EN-.
ployment and faithful service is the
main feature necessary to ensure
good pay and long employment. II
these open-eyed, disgruntled, eolored
walters are being turned down by the
white folks OF the North, let them
come home, where the sun shines hot
and where the hum Of the machinery
OF industry is music to the average
colored mans ear. Moreover, we
are so arranging il here that under
the cordial cooperation of the better
class of Southern white folks. we are
building better than we knew for by
the exercise Of a principle Of political
economy, we are employing ourselves.
We hope to see the dawn of the
day when organizations viii be put
