The bill was read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. J The bill is a very good one, so far as it goes, but why have only three colored men? Why not six colore'! men from the various walks of life? and three white men? Or, better still why not a commission of Negroes of nine to r.'wly and report upon conrli tions ? the actual conditions \11\4Jer which the Negro now lives? No white man understands the Negro or the conditions under which the Negro lives as does the Negro himself. The commission of hinft then could re port lo a special committee of the Pronto, who could then onf-s noon lis I the Negro Commiss'on'iO findings. However, we thank Mr. Spencer for 'he introduction of his bill. May If become a law. 1 The Stork's Visit. i 1 I The stork visited the heme of Mr d Mrs. C. V Haver. 1?.r? W. T.eirr'i I {??<)?
