Sir-I am an advocate OF woman
suffrage. The women have been chain

said that religion and virtue were in
dispensible supports 10 the perpetuity
Of this nation. Who is to maintain
the churches and the virtues of these
requirements but the women? There
are certain innovations that have
crept into the nation and the States
that can better be conserved by wo-
men. Education. morality and uplift
would be the result Of cnrranchising
them. Take look AT some Of the
achievements of women There was

NEGROES Ann THE MOORS.

TO the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir-Permit me- through the col
umns of your paper TO make few
comments on the bill that was pass
ed in the Legislature in regard to the
separate registration OF Moors. We. as
the darker class of Afro-Americans,
do not feel that we have lost any
great helping hand to our race. We
feel as II You have lifted a great bur
den off our shoulders. These Moors
have been a drawback to our race I'm
stead Of help to II. They have done
everything 20 down it and to get away
from II. and have at last succeeded
They think our color is too black for
them. We are proud to know that il
is an honest color. II the Police
Commissioners would see that their
officers keep an eye on the dark alleys
and on tho lots in tho different parts
of our city, perhaps there would be
fewer Moors and more negroes.
Respectfully yours.
