DAILY DEMOCRAT. THE COLOU LINK. I had started out to writ of Washington street scenes, and here I am gossiping a "bout Washington'! big families. As a matter oi fact tl.e largest, iamilies in Washington are probably always will be unknown to fame. They are African. At h. nKrr It Is said the colored pop ulation of the District of Columbia is con stantly aaininii on the white population and no wonder. Take a peep In sonje oi the alleys of the Capital City, and see the mi'rln.U n!i-V atilniileil runillll" abollt therein. Where they al! come from.where they all sleep, who cares for them, whence coir.es their food and raiment, meager as these articles are, combine to form one of the mysteries of life. A Washington po lice man told me he knew of one of these alleys in which, In a single block, theie were 360 children by actual count. This seems incredible, but it must be re membered that trie building of alley houses Is one of the most profitable Investments capital can lind in Washington. The houses arc coops of brick, about fifteen feet wide and geneially three stories high. Each story may have as tenants an entire family.witii all the way fiocn two to a oozen .hiMren In each family. Imaglr.e the ao- ...-..... ..f an afv flanked bv two rows or tenant houses thus peopled, the thorough fare Itself being no more than twenty feet wide. So great a nuisance has this busi ness of peopling alleys with colored fami lies become In Washington that a western senator has Introduced a bill forbidding the erection of houses In alleys less than forty feet In wldl'.i. It will not likely pass, however, for among the men who have invested money in these houses, and who are getting dividends of 1 5 to 30 per cent, a year thereon.area number of United States senators. Speaking of the colo-ed people of Wash, ington reminds me of a novel sort of contest that Is constantly going on in the city. On the street cars about one half the passen gers arc colored and about one half white. The population of the District of Columbia Is only one-third colored, but the street railway people say a colored man or wo man will ride twice as often as a white man or woman. Tour or five persons you see on the sidewalks are white; on the street cars fully one-half, and I think more, are colored. Just why the colored people give up 60 much more of tneir money to the street railways than their while neighbors no one appears to know, but at a guess I should say it is became the colored people have a constitutional antlnathv 10 walklnu. At any rate, there are so many passengers of both colors that the cars are nearly aUays crowded, and the men have to get up and give their seats to the ladles. Here Is where the war of races comes In. In Washington a wnlte man will not rise and give his seat to a colored weman. In retaliation colored men refuse to rise and aive their seats to white won.en. Thus it often happens 'that one will see all the seats In a M,r nr,M,nl.ft hv white WOlTien atld black men. In all my experience In Wash ington I have never seen but three white men rise and give seats to colored women and in one of these cases the woman was very old and Infirm, and In the other two cases they were young and pretty and stylishly dressed. If all the colored women In Washington were of the working class it wouli! not be such a delicate matter, hut many of them are well bred, handsomely dressed, live In line lio'ases.and are in every way as much worthy of respect courtesy as while women. Hut what is one to do? As to women of his own he makes no illscriminition. lie rises to give a scat to nny white woman, young or old, rich or poor. Hut it is ob vious that lie noes not want to do this as to co'ored women. There are few white men who will carvygallaiit.-y as to give their places to black washerwomen and kitchen maids. One feels tempted to show more courtesy to the colored women who are evidently well Lred and of good station, but discrimination are always dangerous and bothersome, and the w hile men conclude therefore, that they will not discriminate, but will sit while colored women stand The husbands and brothers o' the color ed w omen resent this holly, and claim that a gentlemen who will illscrhnlnale'ag.ilnst a lady simply because she Is dark or black is not a gentleman nt nil. In retaliation, theiefore, colored men doggedly sit while white ladles are standing, and scenes of this description occasionally lead to trouble especially when n southern senator or con gressman Is unable to find seats for the ailies w hom he is escorting.
