Mayor Dunne wrote himself down as a firm foe of the color line, and declared that so long as he was may or of Chicago no man should be barred from the service of the city on account of his being an Afro-* American. This came in response to complaints that Chief Of Police O'Neill was swearing in as special policemen doz ens of Afro-Americans in striking con trast to Sheriff Barrett's refusal to recognize Afro-Americans who ap plied for work as special deputy sher iffs. "We already have fifty or more on the police force," said Mayor Dunne when his attention was called to the policy of the chief who. at the time was administering the oath of office and distributing stars and clubs to a score or more Afro-American men. "If Afro-American men are good enough to be regular policemen, hav ing passed the civil-service commis sion examination," continued the may or, 'they are good enough to serve as special officers now. We need them, too." SEEN AND HEARD IN MANY PLACES. Terrible tales were told not long ago about public and private wicked ness in St. Louis, and it is not gener ally known that the condition of the city as there revealed by the- maga- zines and newspaperswith some in cidental help from various Missouri courtshas since changed vastly for the better. Such, however, is the case and now St. Louis and her peo ple, both black and white, are so ex tremely good that the difference be tween perfection and the state to which they have attained is -almost too small to measure. We make this statement confidently, not because we have received any direct information to that effect, but because we notice that an association, composed of eighteen St. Louis clergymen, said to be "the best known ministers in town," have been moved to make a united attack upon the "at homes" which several well known families are accustomed to hold at their homes on Sunday evening. Now. of' course, if St. .Louis were not in a state of almost excessive sanctifica tion, if its officials were not all disin terested natriots and- its ci-tizens" not 2 i Do You Want to Stvo Monty WE FURNISH THE WAY. ^DDP 7 free from sizable faults and vices, this estimable band of eminent parsons would have something else to do be fore they tackled the Sunday even ing receptions. Mind we are not de fending their choice of a night for these functions. Whatever opinion we may have on that question, unless it happens to coincide with that of the St. Louis ministers, is probably worth less than theirs, except for our own private uses, but admitting for the sake of argument, that Sunday even ing receptions are in some degree reprehensible, obviously they are not as reprehensible as any one of a doz en or more transgressions against law and morals that were until re cently, according to common report, the commonplaces of St. Louis life, and naturally, if all those graver sins had not been abolished the ministers would now be fighting those long de partures frmo rectitude, and not a short one. The "at homes" are de scribed as of the simplest character mere gatherings of friends for quiet conversation, with no other means of entertainment provided. Fortunate indeed, is the city where the expert moralist can find nothing worse than this to war against, and more fortun ate the clergy that can win public at tention for a "movement" for reme dying an evil from which, the public suffering and loss are as small as from this one. They have the milen ium in plain sight. As I write I re member that my morning paper chronicled the fact that a band o'i Philadelphia ministers marched in a body to the city hall to protest against the selling of the gas works to a lot of boodlers. and to ask the mayor to veto the work of the city council. Truly our ministers area progressive lot, and the next procession of the gentlemen of the cloth will no doubt be headed by a brass band.. William Perm. ST PAUL. The Voice of the Negro. Mr. S. D.
