Asked by our representative what chance he
really thought he had of running the British
blockade. the jovial skipper smiled and said he
quite expected to be caught. but he was mere

LOCAL MENTION.
Homeless

When the wind blows shrill,
with a deadly chill, and we sit by
the cheerful blaze, do we ever
think of the homeless gink, ago
ing his weary ways? The day
lights gone and we sit and yawn,
and comfort is all around; do we
care whoop for the dismal troop
adrift on the frozen ground? You
eat and drink and count your
chink as you sit in your easy
chair: and you've grown hog-fat,
and beneath your hat there's
hardly a sign of care. Do you
never pause, as you ply your jaws,
devouring the oyster stew, to
heave sigh for the waits who lie
outdoors, all the long night
through? 1t was good OF Fate
that she paid the freight, and
planted you here at ease, while
the other lads, who are shy OF
scads. must sit in the park and
freeze. But she may repent ere
YOUR DAYS are spent. and juggle
things all around, and the bo NAV
sleep on your mattress deep, and
YOU on the frozen ground!

Jim Grow" Legislation.
To the Edito. of The Star:


If the advocates for jim crow cars in
the District of Columbia are really in
dead earnest about dragging the Ma
tional Capital down by enacting such
un-Christian, unfair. un-Ameriean and
unconstitutional laws as have from
time to time been urged by them, it
seems but fair to put that question
before the entire voters of this coun-
try. would II not?
1t seems that the whole country has
become interested in the beautifying
of Washington city, and we believe
that very large majority of the
American citizens would meet with
scorn and Indignation any barbarous
acts which aim to rob their fellow men
out of their God-giveu rights. Further
more. be it remembered by the advo-
CAFES of Jim crow cars, that such a
law, if enacted, would also rob the
street car companies out of many thou
sands of dollars, for the colored peo-
pie would walk, except when 'twould
be impossible to get along otherwise,
before they would ride in such cars
So. turn as you may, you can't hurt
the colored people of this country
without hurting some very good and
just white people also.
When our Lord Jesus was taken be-
fore PLATE to be crucified he (Pilate)
asked the question, Why what evil
hath ne done?" etc. So. during all this
cl&moring for tire humiliation of the
law-abiding colored people of this coup-
try. than whom the white people have
no better friends. we ask. in the name
of a just God, Why, what evil, any
more than any other race, have they
donec The colored citizens of the Dis
trict of Columbia, and of the entire
country alike, appeal to the white
CHRISTIAN public sentiment to aid them
in. their fight for justice during these
days of their unjust persecsItion-for
