It is hoped that vve will shcitly learn ^hetlier the Intel state Commission is to follow the lead of the Supieme Couit of the United States and declaieaNegro has no lights that a white man is hound toiespeit. Theie aie se\eial cases be foie the commission i elating to the out rageous disci uniinition practiced upon coloied people on the lailroads ol the South, and we hope the honorable com nussioneis will have back-bone enough to lendei just such decisions as they -would if they had been outiaged in a like inannei Theie aie thousands of coloied people the Noith who never go South unless they are compelled to do so, foi feai of having insults and out niges heaped upon them. The white people ot the Noith are just as white if not wlntei than those of the South, and they do not seem to get any white rubbed off by according equal lights in the matter of unlroad and steamboat tiavehng and it does not hurt them any more to eat, with a black, man what a white cook has piepaied than, it does for the Southeinei to eat, with whites only, the food that has been handled and piepared by black men and women. 'Tis an old but trite adage "Consistency thou at a jewel'" We confess that two hundred and fiftv years of slavery has not been the best way to refine a people, and some of the colored people are very uncouth, boisterous and immoral but all are not so there are some of us, who being first water diamonds, have been polished up by lubbing against the first water diamonds of the white race, and we are the ones who feel these outrages moat. We are perfectly willing to be accoided pnvileges according to our means and tastes just as the whites are. The whites would deem it very terrible if all their good, refined, wealthy people were only accoided the meanest possible accommodations because there are some and very many toolow, degraded, trifling, immoral people among theui. We feel just the same way. We are willing to stand the same tests the whites do to enjoy the same privileges, but we wish our judges to be completely color blind The colored people of Oak Ridge, La., on last Monday, demonstrated the fact that they are tired of the manner in which colored men are treated in the South who are accused of committing rape upon white girls. There seems to be nothing held in such holy abhorrence, by the Southerners, as that of illict in tercourse between colored males and white females, while for years, colored females have been considered by them as the lawful prey of white men and, in time of slavery many a white father and mother has sold his or her mulatto daughter with the full knowledge that ehe was to be the concubine of her pur- chaser. Nine-tenths of these so called rape cases if properlv investigated would fall to the ground, as it would be proved that the females are usually willing victims. Be that as it may, how- ever, it is no more unlawful in the eyes of God in any sense, for a colored man and a white woman to hold illicit sexual intercourse that for a white man and a colored woman or for both parties to have the same sort of cuticle. The law of man should apply to all cases alike. We are all sons and daughters of Adam. We should all be punished for our wrong doings, but don't make fish of one and fowl of another. Punish all alike. *?$ There is a rumor that a clique of real estate dealers in this city are to have an oidinance passed imposing an annual tax of $1,000 upon every firm or indi- vidual in the real estate business. This will close out a lot of small concerns and the big ones will catch all the fish. There is no doubt that there are more men in the business than there is any need for, but believing in the survival of the fittest we do not favor the hogish idea. Let all go ahead, just as at present, and the rustlers will keep on top while the others will sink. Monday is the glorious Fourth of July, but there does not seem to be very much entusiasm among the Colored People of the Great Northwest. Perhaps ?hey feel that they are not treated as citizens of the United States, and, therefore, do not care to celebrate the anniversary of American freedom until they receive the full quoto of rtghts to which they are entitled under the Declaration of Indepenence. It has tianspired that the story which has gone the rounds of the press to the effect that Prof W.H Council with fifteen of his pupils having first class tickets entered a first class car in Alabama and that the whites in the car vacated and went in to the smoking car, is all a lie, gotten up to predudice the case of Mr. Council before the Interstate Commiss ion. The governor of the Empiie State has signed the bill which prohibits railway companies in New York from heating their cars with the old fashioned stove. It will be in ordei now, for other States to follow suit, and thus save many lives in the usual collisions and accidents that occur,from the recklessmannei in which railroad trains are run. After the legislature mixed the public schools of Ohio, the short sighted color ed teachers of Cincinnati, assisted by white men of the School Board who op pose the system, succeeded in getting the colored schools of that city continu ed for another yeai. All suchteacheis ought to be relegated to the shades of oblivion in the future. We acknowledge the receipt of "Justice" and cordially welcome it to our exchange list. "Justice" hails from Chattanooga, Tenu., with Horn, Wilson & Co., publishers. The senior member of the firm is an old timer, and a good one, and we extend a heartv welcome on his return to our ranks. The graduates of the Colored High School of Washington received their diplomas from the hands of President Cleveland. They were the first and will be the only colored graduates that will ever receive their diplomas from the hands ot a Democratic president of the United States. We welcome to our exchange list the Baptist Journal of St. Louis, Mo., Rev. R. H. Cole, editor Rev.S. P. Anderson, business manager. It is a six column quarto and presents a fine appearance. Among the prize winners at the Coai- mencement of Yale College was Yan Pou Lee, a Chinaman, which goes to show that a Chinee man is "allee samee hkee Melican man." BE MORE RELIGIOUS, YOU MEAN. If the Afi o-Americans would cease to be so religious and use a little more common sense and honesty towards each other in their daily intercourse, their white brothers would have a little more respect for them. Practice the same respect towards each other as you do towards the white brother and we will soon rise higher in the estimation of our white friends. Will you try it and see how it works ?Denver Argus. JLeaclville, Col. Mr. Henry Williams took a trip to Denver, last week. Miss Ella Thornton who sprained her ankle recently is convalescent.

Nor ton is captain of the culb, and they should feel themselves highly honored with such an amiable gentleman. Greenville, Tenn. To-day Tennessee is witnessing one of the gravest agitations ever within her border. Not even war days were people so determined and resolute as to-day. This is a moral war, a fight between right and wrong a fight between the home and snloon. During the early part of the war men d'ffering would easily settle it with musket or pistol, not so now, solid arguments are the only weapons used. The colored voting population is about 60,000. On the pro hibition question the whites are nearly evenly divided, hence it is easily seen which ever side the colored people vote, that will be the winning side. The saloon keepers and their friends are doing every thing in their power to con trol the colored vote, while the prohi bitionist are working equally as hard to secure our vote. Most of the colored newspapers favors prohibition. The Free Lanee especially comes out "teeth and toe nail" for prooibition. The bulk of the colored people are in Middle and West Tennessee, still East Tennessee has her full share. Being a prohibition ist ourselves, certainly we are working for its success. We believe the worst enemy of the colored people is the saloons, every attempt to deprive us of our legal rights, even during the time y|f Klu Kluxing.originated in the saloons. ST.
