AThe demand by thu colored people
lat their constitutional Xitfpts be re.
srected in this regard way6Ddid before
Mayor Hindley by John Adams, a local
Afro American attorney. Lawyer
Adams points out that the situation is
becoming such that a colored man
can scarcely have an order flied in
any of the local restaurants, and even
the servers of drinks behind local bars
often refuse sto serve colored patrons
Unionism. according to the attorney,
is at the bottom of the move, and he
contends that proprietors of such
places readily take up the sides of
their union walters and publicly ex-
pose cards as Indicated. He cited an
experience of his own where he en-
tered restaurant for lunch and was
at first ignored entirely by the waiter
Finally he was informed that the wait
er was not allowed to serve him.
He Immediately took the case before
the mayor and asked that steps be
taken to stop the practice. He was
assured Of the support of the mayor.
Speaking of the conditions of affairs
Mayor Hindley said: 8
We are not going to tolerate any
such discrimination. The colored peo-
pie have their rights guaranteed to
them by the Constitution of the United
States, and no union restaurant or
saloon has any legal right to infringe
upon them.
Race trouble must not be allowed
to brew in Spokane. Such actions as
have come to my notice are the To-
menters of race war and threaten the
whole legal fabric of the city and
State do not anticipate any trou-
bic, but the men who run public places
in this city will not be permitted to
practice such discrimination. So long
as he behaves as well as any other
person the colored man has Just as
much business in such places as any
other citizen"
The thing is absolutely contrary to-
the Constitution" said Commissioner
Hayden, land that is all the authority
we need to make them take down
such signs. 1t is not necessary to
have city ordinance TO regulate the
matter"

man ever moved him. When he took
his seat as Justice of the highest
tribunal of the land, he took oath to
always support the Constitution, which
is the supreme law of the land. That
Constitution makes the negro a citi-
zen; and so Justice Harlan, in keep
ing with his oath, felt bound to, and
always did, defend the rights of the
Negro, not because he is Negro, not
because he is deserving or needing our
special consideration, but because he
is a citizen God bless him for it.
Resolved, That we will, living, cher
ISL his memory, and, dying, bequeath
it as precious legacy to our children.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
sent to the newspapers of the city for
publication and copy of the same be
sent to the family Of the deceased, to
whom we tender our heartfelt sympa-
thy in this, their hour of bereavement,
rcinting them for consolation to Him
who doeth all things for the best and
who never need1essly afflicts His chill

Ulrich has continued to have this

pleaded for delay, claiming that lie
had not been able to get his witnesses
into court-this despite the fact that
he has had seven months to do so.
District Attorney Smith opposed the
motion, claiming that UJlrich had 70

was simply an effort to avoid the con-
sequences of his brutal and un called

would give him one more chance, and

stories Of what led to it. To |
the police he said that he had taken
DR.. Washington for a burglar, but to |

LEXINGTON LEADER

A meeting of colored citizens was
held in U. B. F. Hall, Tuesday even.
ing, Oct. II, to pay tribute of respect
to the memory of Justice John NJ
Harlan.
Jordan C. aJckson, who perhaps knew
Justice Harlan better than any other
colored man in the State, was called
upon to preside, and DR.. w. H. Ballard
was chosen secretary.
Mr. Jackson was associated with
Justice Harlan in the early days OF
his campaigns in Kentucky; was a
delegate-at-large to the national con-
vention of 1876 at Cincinnati, aad was
in the conference with the future JUS
tice, when it was decided that Ken
tucky should lead the break from
Bristow to Hayes, which resulted in
the latter's nomination. He was,
therefore, prepared to speak intelli-
gently OF the dead jurist, of his char
acter and career.
Upon taking, the chair. Mr.. jackson

like Mr.. Jackson, had peNbnal ac-
quaintance with Justice Harlan, and
were thus prepared to enlighten their
hearers as to the true worth of the
man to whose. memory they had as.
sembled to pay homage.
A committee was appointed to draft
suitable resolutions expressive of the
great esteem and gratitude of our citi
zens for the man who in all his career
had never failed to. champion the
rights of the Negro. The committee
retired and after due deliberation re
ported the following, which were unan.
imously adopted:
Resolved, That in the death of jus
tice Harlan the nation has lost one OF
its most distinguished citizens, the
court of which he was member, one
of its brightest lights; his native
State, Kentucky, her most illustrious
son, and the Negro, his staunchest
friend and warmest advocate.
Justice Harlan was unique charac
ter. It can he said of him, as was said
of the elder Brutus, the elements were
so mixed in him that nature, might
stand up and say to all the world, this
was a man. Yes, he was man in AL
that the term implies, and because he
was man he dared ever champion
the rights of man. No consideration

The reception and. banquet given to
Bishop G. T. Shaffer, D. D., NJ. D., and
the members of the Kentucky Confer
ence of the African Methodist Episco-
pal Church, Wednesday night, by the
pastor and members and friends of ST.
Paul Church will be long remembered
in the minds of the colored people of
the city.
The speeches delivered and the
music rendered were all of the highest
type, and the presiding officer, J. c.
Jackson, performed the duties OF
Master of Ceremonies in a manner
that reflected credit on bis people
The formal meeting that preceded the
banquet to the visitors was called to
order by his wife, who, after a few
words of welcome, introduced her hus-
band to preside.
The choir of the church rendered a
selection and concluded with the
Lords Prayer which they chanted In
lis opening remarks Mr.. Jackson fur
lished bit of history concerning the
planting of the African Methodist
church in Kentucky, showing that st.
Paul was the first church of its kind
IN the State organized by Father
Smith in 1865, and it was but fitting
that this meeting should be held in
the city. In this connection he said
that another great reason was that
some years ago the present presiding
bishop worked as journeyman plas-
terer in Lexington, and was member
of ST. Paul Church before he COM
menced his ministerial career 1t is
but fitting that he should close, up
ills administration of eight years
over this district right in the
church where he commenced his use

''This is the mother extending well

cause Lexington and st. Paul Church
is the mother OF Methodism in Ken

tonight. We are going to have the
greatest mayor of the greatest city in
Kentucky to welcome you; then we
are going to have Dean Capers, one
Of the best pastors of one of the best

Coach Horton says that the one prob

boys report for evening practice and
he is utterly helpless in training them,
because there are hardly any left over

Thursday afternoon, and about fifteen
young fellows have been out regular

devoted to getting the boys in good

in running, kicking, and falling on the
oval, but the coach says they are hard
