1 "“wg give space to a re
ticle on the measure,
| in the
Qm* ey published at
a. S
lation is that occasionally,
though rarely, some dirty, ill
mannered Negro insists upon
seating himself beside some white
lady. For this misbehavior on
the part of some brutal colored
man an indignity is to be put
upon a whole race, for to say
that neatly dressed and well be
haved Negrocs must be penned
off to themselves and not allow
ed to come into a car into which
any white person, no matter
how dirty or ill behaved he may
be, can ride is not just and is
meant to be mortifying to an en-
&re race, the members of which
are as a general rule polite and
weil-behaved.
This Legislation proposes that
the State shall put upon a large
class of its citizens an indignity
which must be mortifying to all
its self-respecting members.
Whenever any passenger,
whether white or celored, mis
behaves it is the duty of the con.
ductor and his assistants to put
such person off thecars,or to put
him under arrest until he can be
turned over to the officers of the
law at the next station. ,
Here we have been riding in
railroad trains with colored per
sons ever since the close of the
civil war and to raise this fuss
about it now seems not only
ridiculous, but hypocritical, in
view of the fact that the colored
people who travel on our cars
now are every bit as well-behav
ed as they ever were,
CONSERSATISM VERSUS RADI-
CALISM.
While we shall never stoop to
kiss the hand that would smite
us, yet we do not believe we can
accomplish as much by extreme
radicalism as by conservatism.
There is a trite but true saying
““‘when one gets his head into the
lions mouth, he must get it out
ag best he can.”_ This i~y . fact
not to be denied, and the man in
such a predicament who would
oet himself out unhurt would be
more than foolish to attempt it
by beating the lion with his
fists.
Qur position as regards any
hostile or discriminating laws
which the present Legislature
may see fit to enact is pretty
much the same as theman whose
head is in the lion’s mouth.
Abuse of the patrons of these
measures but serve to enrage
them and make them more per
sistent in their efforts, while on
the other hand if we reason with
them and point out to them the
injustice of their measures it will
have z .uore beneficient result,
This is our view of the matter,
this is our position and by it we
intend to stand until convinced
by better argument than the
hot heads who would advise us
kick right and left and indulge in
vituperation and abuse.
We were, when some who have
tried to “rip us up the back” in
disguise, were not. We were not
the product of a great confusion
and turmoil, when scheming men
allowed “vaulting ambition to
overleap itsel’’ and in failure to
carry out their selfish aims, tried
to pull down the third part of
the kingdom. No,we are the
child of calm and sober consider
hgon, conservatism, co-opera
tidbn, combination and concen
tration and working along these
lines we hope to keep time to the
progress of the century.
THE PATRONS OF THE REFORM.-
We take this means to thank
our many friends and patrons
scattered all over the country
for the great interest they have
shown in aiding us in the in
crease of our circulatien,
While, as the organ of the Bro
therhood, we have used our
every effort for the building up
and spread of the Order, yet we
have not been unmindful of the
race’s best interests and have
pursued a policy that would at
tract friends and bring the races
more closely together and to
convince all, that as we all have
one common heritage it is to the
best good that we dwell together
in peace and unity.
From letters which we have re
ceived from prominent men inl
different parts of the country;:
from the favorable press notices
which our contemporaries have
given us, and from our increased
circulation, we feel proud to say
that we are not a failure in our
mission.
Our increased circulation is
due much to the activity of our
agents,a more energetic and hon
est set can nowhere be found
and if they are as successful, this
year as in past years, our, sub
_gpgiption Ii 2 by
WOULD-BE LEADERS.
As a rule every community is
afilicted with one or more selfish,
arrogant men who presume to
themselves to stand head and
shoulder above the averagec man.
‘These self-styled leaders are the
great disturbing element in
church and State and by the
gratification of their own selfish
aggrandizement would split
‘church or socizty asunder.
These men possess not onc ele
ment of leadership and whatever
of good they really do, is for self
and the filling of their own cof
fers. Force of character, truc
courage, unselfishness and pa
tience, those elements that char
acterize true leadership, are
wanting in them. We must learni
to shun these men as dangerous
‘elements in the great body poli
tic; as men who are unweorthy of
our support and confidence, no
matter where we find them,
whether in the pulpit or pew,in
the professors chair, or the edi
torial sanctum, in the learned
professions or in politics; it mat
ters not where they be they must
be spurned.
OUR NEW VENTURE
It is our purpose in the mear
future, under our newly acquired
charter, to start a general gro
cery and mercantile business. By
this yenture we hope to open up
a new avenue of trade, especially
to our friends in the country dis
tricts; a medium through which
they will find a ready and pro
fitable sale for their produce.
We have long contemplated
this move and not that we feel
this to be the most opportune
time for it we have ventured to
begin the work at once.
All we ask is a hearty co-oper
ation on the part of our friends
in the country as well as the city
and if we can succeed in getting
this we will surely meet with sac-
VOTES
For the past six weeks one ot
the daily papers of Richmondl
has been daily engaged in mak
ing scurrillous attacks upon the
Negro. |
At one time this paper offend
ed the Jewsof Richmond and
they of right withdrew their
patronage from the paper.
| The management at once be
| gun to cater to the Negro, till
luow more than 8,000 copies of
|it are left at colored homes daily.
| Now that the paper delights in
étrtacking the Ncgrq, should we
do less than the Jew? We must
have the manhood to retaliate.
Do not let sugar-eoated arti
cles on the “genteel Negro,” find
a lodgment in our stomachs,
they are from the same dispen-
sary where nauseating mixtures
are compounded.
The refusal of the State au
thorities to allow the colored
troops to re-organize is a matter
of deep regret and should becon
demned.
Our soldier boys one year ago
to-day returned from the war,
and though occasion called not
for their seeing active service,
yet they sacrificed much when
they volunteered their services to
theircountryjand was an hovor to
their State. Many of the boys
impaired their health for life,
two of them well known in Rich
mond having answered the ‘‘last
roll call” within one ycar asa
consequence of disease contract
ed while in the army.
Refusal to allow the men to be
soldiers again is Virginia’s re
ward to them for their patiot
ism.
The Reformer shall always
condemn professional cake-walks
as not in keeping with decency
and morality.
We are sorry to know that
our exceptions to them givesome
of our friends pain; but we have
decried them in the name of an
outraged public sentiment and
in behalf of the refinement and
progress of the great majority of
the race. ‘

am, however, advised which is very
comforting to me as well as to the
oldest inhabitant here, that the eity
fathers have begun to devise means
and plaps for a more perfect grading
and drainage of the streets and high
ways and paving and macadamizing
of the same; the best wishes of the
community are already out for their
success. 2
Bristol, notwithstanding, is a
most beautifully located city with a
population of 10,800 or more, have
not had time to get exact figures,
wonderfully rich in mineral re
sources, ample railroad facilities, a
number of industries in operation
and several more are now being
projected by mnorthern capital. I
will say tmore concerning Bristol
and its growth in the near future.
I have met several of the leading
men and by them cordially received.
