No one knows better than the pub

as could be found.

DR.. Ernest Lyon, former minister
to Liberia, in strong speech oppos-
ing the adoption of the ordinance,
stated that 1T was unconstitutional,
unjust to the race, unjust to the rep
1tation of the city and that it unnec-
essarily stirred up strife between the
races.
eve have every reason" he said.
TO believe that the measure in que
sion is aimed at the colored man, al
though the white man is bound to
suffer if it becomes a law. It is ex-
tremely doubtful if similar legisla-
ton would be introduced in this
Council against any other race in
this community, except the colored
race. And why is this? Surely, noe
because we represent either the
worst or the most Improbable ele-
ment In the community, but be-
cause We are so numerically weak
and have the misfortune of belong
ing to an opposite political faith. It
IS not measure designed to aid a
struggling race, but rather to crush
its aspirations and to deprive it Of
sanitary conyeniences in it's domestic
STRUGGLES.
1t is unjust to the colored Deo-
pie, who in every way have shown
themselves to be thrifty and indus
trlous. In few cities in the union,
# in any, can a better record be
shown in race progress and develop
, ment. In the ownership Of real es-
tate; in our moral and religious en-
beavers; in our business and other
ventures and as factors in labor we
nave won our rights to recognition
and fair play in those things which
are the common heritage of Amer
can citizens. And We are quite will
ing to stand or to fall on the record
We are making in these directions. -
Mrs. Minnie L. Gaines and Rev. J.
A. Holmes also madestrong argu-
ments against the adoption Of the
measure, both urging it's evident I'M
fairness and the unfavorable way in
which it advertised Baltimore.
Councilman G, II. Heintzmann, the
only Republican member of the COM
rnittee,- made An unsHecessfui effort
| to have the ordinance referred to
| the City Solicitor in order that its
validity might be passed upon.
The proposed law prohibits color
ed people from moving into blocks
wholly occupied by whites and, vice
versa. 1t also prohibits a school or
church being opened up to one
race in Il neighborhood occupied by
another raceA and provides pen
atty of from IS to $50 day for its
violation. AS a municipal election
will take place in May, there seems
little doubt Of the measure becom-
ing law.
Among the colored people who at.
tended the hearing were: Rev. c.. G.
Cummings, Hugh e. Macbeth, ed.
tor Of the Baltimore Times; George
sumner White, A. r. Waller, Mrs. VI
e. Cummings, Miss Ida r. Cum
mingso and John II. Murphy, editor
