Eur the law c,i,y cuts one way. .t ,,, 0 .,
and that day is not as far off as ODe
.It only punishes one criminal. One
criminal violates the law by selling
liquor to anotner, when the latter is
about as anxious to buy as the former
is to sell. The first criminal gets
the money and the second gets his
liquor. The man who gets the liquor
is a red man and the man who gets
the money is a whUe man, but they
are both subjects of Uncle Sam, and . as
one has no superior rights over the
other. But the man who gets the
liquor usually gets drunk, and then
he gets sick, and then he tells who
sold him the liquor, and then the
seller is punished.
That is proper. The man who sells
an Indian liquor while it is a viola
tion of the law to do so ought to be
told on, and he ought to be punished.
No complaint here. But how about

position held there in 1S95. In pro
viding for the convention he has
been assisted by -10 different denomi
nations and associations of one kind
or another.
While the object of tho meeting is
mainly to discuss the conditions and
prospects of the negro in America,
and to devise a plan of action for pro
moting the welfare of the race, the
time is not to be given wholly to I
talk, lt is the intention of the pro-
moters to make a notable feature of I
music. A chorus of 1000 voices is!
being trained for the purpose by the j
musical director of Tuskegee Insti-.
tute, and it is the intention to render!
not only classical music, but some of
the better old-time plantation melo
dies. America is so much a land of con
ventions that the proposed gathering
of the negro representatives in At
lanta would in Itself hardly attract
much attention. Its interest lies in
the fact that has such an important
and such a complex problem to deal
with. To the white race what is
known as the "negro problem" is but
a theme for academic discussion, but
to the negro himself it is a matter of j
vital importance. The speeches at
Atlanta are going to be earnest, and,
while it is not probable any definite,
solution of the complex problems in-1
volved in the relations of the two,
races will be forthcoming, it is cer-
tain the resolutions which express,
the opinions of so large a body of rep
resentative colored men will be read
with attention and given due heed
by thoughtful men throughout the
Union. San Francisco Call.

THE FAIR The Place to Save Money
!
It is neck and neck with the Ore-'
gonian and the Oregon Daily Journal!
to which is quoted oftenest

gon Daily Journal," is seen about as
often, if not ot'tener than the credit,
"From the Oregonian." The evening
paper has taken its place in the
front rank with rapid strides.
the Indian? He Is not altogether
fool. He was sly in getting his liquor,
He knew he was violating the law.
But when he gets sober he gets to
be a good Indian to the government
and goes and tells on the man who
sold him the liquor. He gets wit
ness fees, too. Is not the man who
gets whisky contrary to law, know
ingly, gets drunk on it, and then in
forms on the man from whom he
got it about as mean as the man who
sold It to him? Is not the fact that
Tie and his friends get fees also, an
Incentive to get some one to buy him
more liquor to get drunk on?
The object of the law it, to deal out
Justice. Is it exactly justice for two
men to violate the law together and
only one of them to be punished?
"Would it not be a good idea to make
it a violation of the law for an Indian
to b-y liquor the same as it is to sell
"him liquor? Would not that deter
Wei to some extent from buying, and
would not that decrease the violations
of law in such cases? It is claimed
by those familiar with the subject
that It would. Do not repeal the law
for prohibiting the sale of liquor to
Indians, but add a clause that makes
his punishment the same as the other
fellow.
But he would not give away the
fellow i7ho sold it to him, is suggest
ed. If yon catch him drunk and Bend
him up for it under tie law made for
the purpose ho would generally tell
where he got It. At least a few sen
tences of that kind would lessen the
number of "consumers."
This was the argument advanced
' by a .government official yesterday
who is posted on the violations of tho
law of this character.

A NEGRO CONGRESS.
reparations are now being made
in Atlanta for a negro congress, which
is designed to be the largest and most
representative assembly ever held by
that class of our population. The
estimates are that upward of 10,000
delegates will be preset. It Is of
course not likely that such estimates
are free from exaggeration, but it is
deemed well nigh certain that the
number of Influential negroes who
attend the meeting will make it an
occasion of national importance.
Atlanta is a fitting place for such
an assembly. It is said to contain
more negro churches, negro schools
and negro colleges than anv other
