could bo shown unfit on nom'o other
ground thnn tnat ho was n NoRro. Tho
people of tho North will Bustaln the
President. It Ih time that It wan Ron
orally undorntood and conreded that
colored cltlzcno have an much right to
bo In tho country, nnd to participate
In tho Kovornmont, according to their
numborB, wealth nnd ability, ns other
pooplo. It lii truo that mnny Southern
Negroes nro aB yet unfit for flolf gov
ernment, but UiIh defect Ih not alto
gether or ovon cllolly duo to rnclnl

nnd opprrsHlon by tho very pooplo, or

their natural nnd acquired rights.
"Whenever, In tho fnco of tlio ob

A UNION'S IIR80LUTI0N.
Tho Cooks' and Walters' Union of
Bncrauinntn composed of whlto men,
lias ndnpted a resolution asking the
rommlttco In chnrgo of an lunugurnt
Vnll and bnuquot to stipulate In Its
rontrnct thnt "nono but whlto holp nnd
members of that union bo employed,"
provided thnt In case tho local Union
nhnll not ho nbln to furnish n BUtllelent
number of men tho cnteror shall havo
tho privilege of employing additional
"whlto" help. Why should there bo
nny rucIi discrimination between
whlto and colorod citizens on an oe
cnslnu of thin character? Shall n com
mittee HiippoHod to bo representative
of tho people of Sacramento undortnku
to draw tho color lino In such fashion?
Surely tho Fifteenth Amendment to
tho Federal Constitution has not yet
lieou forgotten, In letter or In Hplrlt.
Not content with asking thnt the local
Union shnll hnvo tho preference, tho
innkera of this extraordinary tequest
mnko plain their discrimination
ngaluut colored men by tho further de
mand that In enso tho local Unlot:
tthnll not bo equal to tho occasion
other "whlto" help may bo permitted.
This astonishing request Is tendered
nil tho moro absurd and odious by the
fact that colorod men nro recognized
ovorywhoro ns superior waiters. They
nro usually employed In that cnpnclty
on rallioads, stenmboatH and in mnny
leading hotels nnd prominent private
families. What would this tyrantcnl
Union, that has not n spark of gener
osity, liberality, fraternity or com
mon eomtesy, In their souls, havo No
Kroos to do? Rtmvo. probably or per
haps they would enjoy going out nnd
lynching n few Nogioes. A Union
thnt would pass bueh n resolution ns
this ought Itself to be ostrneUed, mm
its members go hungry to bod for want
of a Job,

A HIDEBOUND HOWL.
Tho Memphis Sclmltnr Ih one of tho
radical Negrophoblst papers that on
several occasions have Insulted the
President because of his recognition
of the rights, tho citizenship, of tho
Negroes, by appointing one of them to
a federal ofllco; but bis lnltlnl offense,
which such hidebound Ncgro-hntors as
the Scimitar enn never forgot nor for
give, was Ills Invitation to Hooker T.
Washington to luncheon. Thnt was n
mark of distinction which tho Scimitar
cannot suffer to bo offered to a colored
mnn, but tho North will hardly permit
tho South to fix n code of ethics for
all parts of tho country, for burnings
hanglngH nnd mutllntloiiB nro n part
of their code, nnd wo do not enro for
that sort of amusement up hero,
President Roosevelt very properly
paid duo respect to tho greatest mnn
in tno Houth touny, and tlio proper
thing for the South to do Is to ratso
a whlto mnn who Is grcnter that
Booker T. Washington, and The Now
Ago will guarantco that ho will bo
wined nnd dined ns freely In the North
ns the great up-bullder nnd enlighten
or of tho blnck rnco hns been. Tho
South ban not todny ns useful a man
In Its borders nn this man with Negro
olood In bis veins nnd the Southern
mnn who does not npprovo nnd encour
ngo his work of prnctlcnlly educating
his raco Is the mnn, rather than tho
Negro, who ought not to hnvo the right
to vote.
Prince Chowfn, etc., ninny bo qulto
a fellow in his own country, but ho
would rocolvo only bnro civility If ho
over comes to Portland ngnln,
Congress Is in session ngnln, but
tho country Is "all right," In snlto
of that.
You havo most of a month yet to
help niako this a good year.
Scnttlo Is a good town, hut It did
need reforming some.

ONYX FIELD IN NEW YORK.
Imprisoned Hotiller HoIiU the Hecret
of ItH Whereabout.
One of Uucle Sntu'i soldiers, who Is
n prisoner on Governor's Island, la
looking forwnrd to the day when he Is
to be set tit liberty with ti good deal of
eagerness nnd plensnnt anticipation.
He holds tho secret to an onyx Held In
the northern part of this State, and
his detention on Governor's Island Is
the only thing that stands between hint
and a handsome reward for locating
the field for n company thnt has been
formed by a number of capitalists to
quarry the stone. The soldier has a
standing offer of $1,000 In cash. $2,000
In stock of the company, and a place
with the company ut a salary of jl'O a
week ns long ns the quarry pays,
A stranger visited Governor's Island
Inst week nnd obtained permission to
talk with the prisoner. It was then
the offer wua made, and the story
leaked out A Tribune reporter met
tho visitor on the boat coming oor
from the Island to the Mattery.
"We have made a substantial offer to
the soldier." he said. "If he will direct
uh to the onyx field, but he steadfastly
refuses to dlvulgo a syllnble until lie is
released. The soouer he obtains Ills
fredoin tho sooner we will be able to
renp our harvest. We realize that
thoroughly, and will mnke every effort
to have his term shortened. Powerful
Influences will be brought to bear on
the authorities nt Washington, nnd we
hope to free hltu soon. He Is wldo
awake to this fact, and makes his re
lenso one of tho conditions,
"He discovered the onyx field neel
deutnlly. Ileforo he onllstetl In tho
nrmy he lived In the upper part of the
State, and was an ardent hunter after
big game. One day, whllo out with his
gun, he spied a deer and gave clinse.
The deer led hi in over u rocky hill.
The sides of this hill were very steep,
nml to ascend It the hunter had to cut
niches In tho stone to get a foothold.
He was attracted by the brilliancy and
beauty of the pieces of stone, nnd
placed several of them In his pocket.
When he returned lo Syrneiiho, where
bo lived, he gave these pieces to some
of his friends as souvenirs. A piece of
tho stone, with Its history, came Into
my possession, nnd I recognized ut once
that It was valuable onyx. I had It
tested, nnd found that It was of the
very best quality, and that tho small
piece which I possessed, measuring
perhnps a square Inch, was worth 50
cents, uncut nnd unpolished." New

A NatRblo Kxeoptlon.
The thing that moat Impressed Mar
garet on her first visit to the Old
World was the tombs of noted people
who bad met n violent end. Klug,
queens, princes, princesses, lord", la
dles, sohllers nnd priests all, It hooiu
ed to her, had been poisoned, stabbed,
beheaded, drowned or burned at the
stake. In Paris most of the celebrated
dead hnd been beheaded, and after n
few days In that city the little girl be
gan to bo really depressed by the list
of horrors which sho deciphered from
the various tombs and monuments.
One day, says the New York Tribune,
she was tnken to Napoleon's tomb, and
soon became plunged In deep thought.
"Was he a nice man, papa?" she nsk
cd, at length.
"Yes that Is well, on tlio whole, he
wasn't so very bad."
"And he did lots, did he?"
"Of course he led armies and was
made consul of France nnd flnnlly em
peror, but Waterloo finished hltu, and
then "
"Did bo die?"
"Afterward but first they sent him
to St. Helena."
"What I meant was, did ho die plain,
papa? Oh, Just tell me that he died
plain!" and Margaret clasped her
hands,
"Perfectly 'plain,' I'm hnppy to say."
"Ohl" said Margaret, unclnsplug her
hands nnd drawing a deep breath of
satisfaction.
