AN UNREASONAHLK DKMAND.
Tho wlilto employes of a hotel Jn
linker City attempted a boycott of tho
hostelry last week becaitBO tho pro
prlctor employed rfonie colored help,
out It Ib reported Hint tho boycott did
not Biiccced very well. It would bo
ntrnngo If It hnd Bticccedcd in linker
City, whoso pcoplo generally nro rtu
intelligent and liberal ns tlioso of nny
plnco In tho country. They bollvo In
fnlr piny nnd tltoy linvo no objcctlonn
to colored men coining ninong thorn
nnd earning nn honest living, If thoy
cnu find n clinnco to do bo. And to ob
ject to colored help In n lnrgo hotel Ih
ttbotit nn unrenflonnblo nn nny propo
Bltlon over ndvnncod by nnybody.
Trndcs-UiilonUm Ib nil right nB long
hh It kcopB on rcnsonnblo ground
nnd doninndH what Ib fnlr, but
when, nB It hns done repentedly It do
nlea to other men tho right to work
bccmiRo of tho color of their uliln, it
bccomcB Insolently nnd unbearably In
tolerant nnd unreasonable. Merely
on nccouut of their color, Negro In.
borers, who only Bought or accepted
nn opportunity tn mnko nn liontMt liv
ing by hnrd work, linvo boon driven
nut of Bovernl northern RtnteH, and
Republican ntnteB, too. nt various
times; have been assaulted, and many
In tho nggregntu killed. Ah long nn
this occurs nnd tho authorities do
nothing to prevent It or to punish
micli crimes, wo cannot call thin n elv
lllzed, much less a Christina country,
nor ouo of equal or fnlr rlghtH. Col
ored peoplo nro cspcclnlly ndnptcd to
hotel work, nnd nro employed In nil
thu lending caravansaries of tho
country, nnd no rensounblo guest, no
person lit to put up nt n decent hotel,
mnkes nny objection to them. Tho
New Ago In pleaded to notlco tho po
Bltlon taken on thU Incident by tho
Telegram of this city, which says:
"Such n boycott, undor tho clrcum
stnncou ntntcd, Is entitled to no sym
pathy or support whntovor. Why
should not n "colored person" work
in a hotel nB well nB nnybody else?
Nobody but tho guests have a right
to object, nnd luodt of thorn rather
like tho colored pcoplo In such posi
tions. These peoplo do acceptable
Hervlco. Thoy linvo Just iib good n
right to llvo, nnd to work, nnd to bo
employed, and to earn and spend
money, na whlto peoplo. Aro wo go
ing to bar everybody with a dark
skin from employment, from even
menial Hervlco? Ib thin a specimen of
tho civilization with which trades-un-louldin
Is going to appeal to tho world
for moral support? Tho Amorlcnu
people, of whom tlioso of linker City
nro n good typo, love fair piny, nnd tho
colored poison Is entitled to n chnnco
Just us well nnd iib much its tho per
son with n whiter skin. The skin Ib
only a thin covering; tho complexion
Is it test neither of competency or of
chnrncter. nomocracy demands fnlr
and equal rlghta for men nnd women
ut'd children, under tho law, nnd tho
great Democratic American people
will demand, and not vainly, that this
rule bo not merely theoretical, but
put nnd kept In practice."
USUALLY THU CASK.
It Is a noticeable fact that a very
largo proportion of the people who
aro loudest in their condemnation of
tho Negro who commits, or Is uvea
accused upon lnsuftlclcnt evldenco, of
ciliuea of Ignorance nnd brutality, are
tho very ones who object .most
to tho education of tho Negro,
and sneer moat scornfully nt ef
forts to aid him to becomo a
bettor man, Intellectually nnd
morally. Theso men, themselves not
only IncouBlatont but ignorant, con
tend In support of their objections that
the Negro Is not tho equal of tho
whlto man In mental powers. Grant
ing for tho sake of argument that this
Is so, It Is no reason why ho should
not be educated. Kducato him to
develop his faculties nnd let him nnd
his natural place In life. Professor Du
Dots of the Atlantic University, in nn
article lit tho Atlantic Monthly, makes
n strong plea for higher education for
the Negro nB the solution of tho Negro
piobleiu of tho South. Tho Negroes,
he Bays, aro not fools. They have
tasted learning, and they will not
cease to think or to try to read the
riddle of tho world. "Hy taking away
their best equipped teachers and le.nl
cm, by slumming tho door of opportu
nity lu tho faces of their bolder and
brighter minds, will ou make them
. hatisned with their lot, or w III you
Hot rather transfer their leadlug from
tho hands of men taught to think to
tho hands of untrained demagogues?
Wo ought not to forget tho activo dis
couragement nnd ovon rldlculo of
friends, tho demand for higher training
steadily increasing nmong tho Ncgo
youth. There wero In tho yenrs from
1875 to 1880, twenty-two Negro gradu
ates from the Northern colleges; from
1885 to 1890 thcro wero forty-three,
nnd from 1895 to 1000 nenrly 100 grad
uated. From Southern Negro colleges
thcro wero, In tho same three periods,
143, 413 nnd over 600 grnduntos. Hero,
then, in tho plnln thirst for training;
by refusing to glvo this talented tenth
tho key to knowledge can nny sane
man Imnglno thnt they will lightly lny
nsldo their yearning nnd contentedly
becomo he-wars of wood nnd drawers
of wntcr?" .
A DID VICTORY.
Tho elections Inst week went ovon
moro hcnvlly Republican than nt first
nppenrcd. Tho Republlcnn majority
In Wnshlngton mounted up to over
20,000, nnd In Idaho to 7,000, whllo
Colorado nnd Montana nlao went Re
publlcnn. This was n protest against
Democratic policies to somo extent,
but It wns Btlll moro nn indorsement
of tho President. Ho will carry those
states nn well as nil tho others of tho
North nnd West, by tromondoiiB ma
jorities In 1901. 'ino Now Ago con
gratulates tho Republicans of Oregon,
Washington, Idnho nnd Montana, In

Tho dlnloguo of "Pennsylvania,"
tho now heart story of the anthracite
district, by C. 10. Callahan and Daniel
L, Hart, Is always forceful and often
witty, tho characters quaint nnd nat
ural, being drawn from real person
ageB living near Wllkesbarro; and
tho climaxes, whllo very strong nnd ef
fective, nro never overdrawn or be
yond the bounds of reason. The com
edy sltuntloiu nro extremely funny,
nnd thero are no moro humorous bo

man or cards, or llugliy Dougherty,
tho Hibernian American, who despm

nil special, nnd extremely realistic.
