SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 12. 1904.
THE SPIRIT OF CASTE.
We quote from the pastoral letter of
the. bishops of the Episcopal church
the following sentences which deserve
special attention:
However otherwise we may classify
human society, that classification is
universal which divides it into those
who believe in the spirit of caste and
those who do not.
Journey where you will, the peoples
that are in the thickest darkness to
day are those in which most abso
lutely' the spirit of caste rules.
Touching the race problem the let
ter after referring to the appointment
of a joint commission to investigate
the question says:
ff- by giving them (the negroes)
freedom we have only given them the
power 'to work mischief, and if lynch
ing has come to be defended as a nec
essary protection to families, then
surely we are face to face with a situ
ation at. once desperate and dishonor
ing. We may not ignore our social
situation, and if the church can have
nothing to say about it then- she sim
ply, disowns her duty and her master.
.There, you have it, and we defy
the most censorious critic to show
that the good fathers of the church
v:ere laboring under undue excite
ment, or indulging in intemperate lan
guage. But we must dissent from
some of their conclusions: our own
opinion being that the spirit of caste
rules as absolutely among enlightened
nations as among the most barbarous,
in the United States as much as in the
Fiji Islands. The historian, Macau
ley, argued very ingeniously to show
that at one period, the church did
nntch" to destroy the limitations of
caste but it can readily be shown
that at many periods, the church has
been the most efficient promoter of
caste. As to the, Afro-American, the
good bishops may truthfully say: "We
hid as it were our faces from him he
was despised and we esteemed him
not." The spirit of caste dominates
tl-s nastoral letter.

ground that she never derived any

that was more convenient than to

THE CITY OF ^MAGNIFICENT DIS

A Collection of a Few of the Events
Occurring Among the Afro-Ameri
cans of the Capital of This Great
and Glorious Nation for Our Many
Readers.
Washington D. C, Nov.' 10.
Booker Washington, Jr.. the eldest
son of Booker T. Washington, has
filed an application for appointment
as paymaster in the army.
The application was filed several
days ago. and was dated New Haven.
The applicant describes, himself as
twenty-three years old, and student
at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology. The first indorsement
It is raid that Bryan. Watson and on the application is that of Booker to the President because Smith had

T. Washington, and there) are* others
from prominent residents of New Ha
ven. The application has been order
ed put on the suspended file, to be ta
ken up November 15.
There is an impression about the
War Department that young. Wash
ington has a most excellent chance of
getting the appointment. There are
.at present only one actual and two
prospective vacancies in the grade of
paymaster.
John R. Lynch, now a captain, is
the only Afro-American paymaster
in the army at present. He was at
one time assistant auditory for the
Navy Department. Capt. Lynch is
reported to have experienced some
trouble with the men, because of his
color, in the discharge of his duties
both during the Spanish war and in
the Philippines.
The S. Coleridge-Taylor Choral so
ciety is progressing finely in its prep
arations for the musical festival tb be
given in Convention hall the 16th and
17th instants. The rehearsals of
'Hiawatha" are satisfactory
andgit
believed this trilogy will bev
is
sun ev
en better than in former perform
ances. The three choral ballads that
have bee composed by Mr. Coleridge
Taylor and dedicated to this society
have been' in active rehearsal and.
with the assistance of the author' will
be given in splendid style. The Ma
rine Band Orchestra will give to the
accompaniment of "Hiawatha" a body
and volume that has heretofore been
lacking, and the soloists engaged are
the best that could be secured. The
reservation of seats by the guaran
tors has been very liberal and every
thing points to.a brilliant, result. f?
V"v'
The Washington Post in a* recesnt
issue said:
"It was learned unofficially at ,the
War Department that Private John
T. Smith,. stationed at Fort Mott, at
Salem, Mass., who recently attracted
attention by marrying an Afro-Ameri
can woman, will be discharged from
the army "for the good of the ser-
vice." The order will be issued, it is
stated, after election, some time be
tween November 15 and 20.
"The department has decided not
appealed personally to Mr. Roosevelt.
The President returned the matter to
Gen. Davis without remarks. Under
the law, Gen. Davis is allowed 0 hold
a matter of this sort without action
for only ten days. This period is up
but a special dispensation was grant
ed, allowing the matter to rest ten
days more."

to enter into the question of the right I Randolph Franklin Fortune, a mes-
i of a soldier to marry an Afro-Ameri
can woman if he so desires as far as
army regulations are concerned.
Smith will be put out of the army
simply because he is considered guil
ty of an action which has brought to
Mm an unenviable notoriety and
caused trouble among his comrades
and the citizens with whom he is as
sociated.
"Gen. Davis, the judge advocate
general, sent the papers in the case
senger in the War Department at
Washington, D. C, and Miss Dickie
Joyce, a teacher in the public schools
of. Columbus, Ohio, were secretly
married this summer at Falls Church,
Va., by Rev. G. S. Somerville, rector
of the Episcopal church at Falls
Church. Miss Joyce visited in Wash
ington the past summer for a couple
of weeks and met Mr. Fortune for the
first time. It was evidently a case
of love at first sight, for before she
returned home she was married to
Fortune. Every precaution was taken
to keep the marriage a secret, and
not even the nearest friends and as
sociates of the bride nor her relatives
were aware that they were married.
Rev. Somerville, when communicated
with about the matter, stated that he
had been enjoined by both parties to
keep the marriage an absolute secret,
and for that reason he had not made
it public.
"It is against the rule of the Co
lumbus board of education to allow a
married woman to teach, and the
news of this secret marriage will
compel the brfde to resign her posi
tion as a teacher in the public schools
of the citv. The news of the secret
marriage has created quite a sensa
tion. Miss Joyce is a member of one
of the oldest families in Columbus,
and has been a teacher in the public
schools for some six or seven years.
The groom is unknown here."
Prof. William H. H. Hart, the Afro
American lawyer arrested some time
ago at Elkton, Md., under the Mary
land "Jim Crow" law, and whose case
is now in the courts of that state, ad
dressed a large assemblage of Afro
American people at Lincoln Temple,
Eleventh and streets northwest.
He declared that he had found, in the
interotate commerce act, the method
by which he,would break down the
barriers raised against Afro-Americans
by state laws providing for separate
accommodations on railroad trains for
the white and colored races.
"There is no sense in depending
for redress," said the speaker, "upon
the fourteenth amendment to the Con
stitution. The Supreme Court of the
United States doesn't like it, and the
white people, of this country do not.
Some day the amendment will come
into its heritage and grow, for it is
the masna charta of modern times.
We must consider the interstate com
merce law. Everything goes down
before thatreligion, morality, state
authority, race, and color. I tell you
here, now, that you have found the
man who will free you from this con
temptible, this so-called 'Jim Crow',
law.
"The 'Jim Crow' law is but a svm
tom of a deeper malady pervading
thejentire body politic, prejudicing the
rights of American citizens. I have
seen here at the National- Capital a
desire to refuse equal rights to Amer
ican citizens of colorin the theaters,
hotels, places of amusement, and
comfort. It has been an easy step to
the 'Jim Crow' law. This law has
not received the organized resistance
which the 90,000 Afro-American peo
ple of the District could make against
it with organization and competent
leadership."
