on complaint of woman that he had in
suited her,
1t will be observed that the mans class
designation is pointed out in this brief dis
patch seven different times, when one, if
any, would have been ample Had Cotin
been mad dog or an escaped tiger instead
OF human being his designation would not
have been more pronounced. But, what
all warns white men Of the danger Of going
after bestalized Negro and to always be
ready to shoot him down like beast, and
secondly, in writing about him to educate
the public up to the fact that "Negro''
and beast should be kept in the same class
Had Cotin been a japanese, an Indian,
Turk or any of the other darker peoples
of this world he probably would have been
class designated in the beginning of the
article and that would have ended it. In
the United States it seems almost as diff
cult for the colored man to get an even
break in life's routine as it is for the pro-
verbal "camel to 60 through the eye Of a
cambria needle.' He is always looked upon
as guilty Of any crime that he may be
wrongfully accused Of and is always bad
brazen beast though he has given no evil
dence Of actually being such Once upon
a time the editor hereof called upon the
publisher Of the Post Inteligencer to register
protest against similar article, which had
appeared in it's columns, but Of local ma
ture, and the publisher admitted the in
justice of such articles, but plead the in
ability Of either the publisher or editor of
remedying the evil, because the reporters
turned in their news stories so written,
which was but admitting that the average
white reporter not inclined to give a
colored man a square deal, and that reminded
us of the old, old story Of "the niger and
the pc white trash.' We have it by hearsay
that the present managing editor of the
ost-Intelligencer is man, who has all of
an hundred dollars laid away for rainy
day, is largely responsible for such articles
appearing in that publication, but why in
dividualize, they all do it, and the ideal
colored citizen gets no more consideration
than the really Objectionable one. But being
so fair and generous in so many instances it
does seem to us that the educated Christian
white man would refuse to try to beastalize
even black skinned human being.

speaking about What fools we mOrtalS

at the New Richmond hotel of this city
few days ago. DR.. Leroy Bundy and his
wife, both light mulattoes in complexion
and with features varying between an In
dian and an italian, walked up to the coun-
ter to register for rooms. The clerk gave
them the once over to decipher their anthro-
poogy and not being able to satisfy his curl
oslty or perhaps antipathy for colored per-
sons, refused to longer remain in ignorance,
and then looked them square in the face

When we think Of sugar selling today at

In changing her residence from Seattle to
New York City Bette Brainard is accused
of saying, 'the great white way of New

in the daily press about her be true, the
great white way was entirely too pacific for
her and she quickly shifted from the great
white way to the great black way.
Despite the fact that the Democratic

In this country we can fully understand

For the Republican voters Of the State Of

absurd that all such alleged Republicans

The affair was over in an hour and half after the ne groes had been taken. The killing of Hodges and his son is said to have resulted from a dispute over money claimed by the farmer to be owed him by his negro tenants.

 Arriving here in company with Mrs. Cox and Mrs. John Root, Miss Eleanor West and Mrs. Perry Shep- bard, all of Chicago, the governor found a platform erected in the pub lie square and a crowd of several thousand people awaiting him. AS he ascended to the platform, the crowd started a great ovation. It was soon cut short, however, as the weather man at that instant let go a torrent which sent the crowd to cover and the governor with them.
 The rain fell for half an hour. Slackening a little. the governor was escorted to a theatre by the recep- tion committee and a crowd surged
