mittce OF colored citizens. The desires
and hopes of the citizens Of color of
the United States OF America will he

By rash. improper uttoranccs, much

ANOTHER PECULIAR DECISION

The Supreme Court OF the United

its remarkable S 70 decisions in
the cases affecting the validity of

ion to disregard the fundamental
rights and privileges Of Negroes has
led to the curtailment OF the rights
and privileges of white people. The in
volatility OF contracts has been
recognized for more than Il ccnt,u v
and now by one fell swoop or decree,
the confiscation OF property rights
has been affirmed.

decision under the present existence
