AN ASTOUNDING VERDICT.

For more than thirty years, we have
championed the cause of the colored
people in this country. During 4
period of some fifteen years we have
devoted our time and energy towards
bringing about closer relationship
between white and colored people
realizing that a harmonious relation
ship and an era Of good feeling would
rebound to the benefit of the South
land.
We have discouraged migration to
the North and West, by our speeches,
believing that the final success of the
colcred people would be found with
theii southern neighbors. 1t was ac-
coId!ngly incOnceivable to us that IA
jury Of white men would at one fell!
swoop upon technical claim OF
wrong doing render a verdict. which l..
left to stand would wreck the reputa-
ton of q life time
We are consoled however by the
fact that no white citizen upon whom
W. called failed to respond to our cal
TO testify in our behalf. That we are
honest, possessed of integrity aa1
COOL character was vouched for By
some Of the leading white and colored
citizens of this commonwealth. VIII
that verdict stand? To ask the cues.
tlon is to answer it. Certainly the
legGl machinery of this State cannot
len1 itself to the contamination of an
outrage. We have never kept the books
Of the Mechanics Savings Bank and
we have never been guilty of any dis.
honorable action in connection there
with.
We denuded ourselves for the benefit
OF The Bank, its depos:tors and the
Order of Knights of Pythias. Others
have gotten the benefit Of our hard
earned labor. They have taken our
money and property and would now
rob us of our greatest asset-our repu.

AN INTERNATIONAL
QUESTION.

The decision of the United States
Supreme Court that foreign vessels or
vessels carrying a foreign flag cannot
enter the ports OF the United States
with liquor aboard seems to he the
most radical construction of the law
that has yet been brought to the at
tention of the public 1t seems to us
that it involves the question as to the
rigl- Of search.
BY what authority can the United
States officials board foreign vessel
and see whether or not liquor .is
aboard? If it is found that whiskey is
on board who has the right to take a
cargo from vessel which carries no
consignment of liquor for this coun-
try? 1t seems to us that this decision
is destined t. seen lecome a dead let

The United States Supreme Court

as well as legal one. 1t is useless to

are granted similar privilege. 1t Is
reported that the Shipping Board will

The Board has no need to do so. To

He dwelt upon the fact that a con-
