MbATURDAY, MAY 7. 1887
RIGHTS OF COLORED
TRAVELERS
HlSome days ago Hie Railroad
for the State of
jWeorgia published for public infor-
Watiou the laws regulating common
Barriers. Section 1, provides that
ahull be made
jWgainst any person on account ol
lahce. color or previous condition*”
Hpie publication ol this regulation.
3®'hich is the law of Georgia i- vert
Opportune at this time. Some of
.whe Railroads running from this
Hity have been disposed to conform
bio the law, but latterly there seem>
jalo be a disposition to violate it.
ffifcolored passengers holding first
ktlass tickets have been ordered out
?Si the first class car and ordered to
Jfflake the “forward c n” which is in
Variably filled with the fumes ol
Igobacco smoke, which is so oLnoX
«ous to one who is not a snioi-er
Oliat travel is rendered intolerable.
■lt can hardly be possible that sneh
Borders eminate from general olli-
Ecers. they are too intelligent t». give
Borders which will involve their cor
iporations in numerous vexatious
mitigations* Such acts it is to be in
|Herred are done upon the reapon-i
--fbility of presumptions and preju
diced train employes. When a
Conductor orders a colored passenger
Kfrom a first class car its a bluff, and
Ilf the p»Bsenger goes to the torwad
or smoking car. that ends it, should
he refuse, il ends it also, for lhe
retrain men will reflect seriously be
fore he lays on violent hands, for
he knows that such a r ish proceed
ing makes him amenable to the
’ law. All that colored travelers ask
<fj»r is what the law gives them. L'.-i
therfhdemand it quietly but fir u .ly.
and it \ill be granted. The follow
ing decisions all rendered in the
Southern Spates will bo read with
interest: \
At Memphis a verdict of SSOO was
returned against the Chesapeake Ohio
and South Western Railroad in fat or o!
Ida Wells, a colored school teacher
who had been ejected from a first cl
passenger coach alter having bought a
first class ticket, and forced to ride in
the smoking car. The Judge in his
charge to the jury said the plaint iff had
a right to recover under the commo -
law as well as under the statute of the
State.
At Baltimore, in the United States
Court, Judge Bond nffirmedithe decree
of the District Court awarding three
Colored women damage* ol SIOO for
having been excluded from tint-class
sleeping apartments on the steamer Sue
after they had purchased first class
tickets. This settles the question so
far as traveling on steamboats on the
Chesapeake is concerned.
lu Florida J. J. Norton, a conductor
on the Jacksonville Tampa & Key
West Railroad was found guilty of as
sault and battery for ejecting a colored
woman from a first class car after hav
ing purchased a first class ticket. A
sno of SIO.OU and costs were imposed

From the Atlanta Constitution
*'« learn that the Georgi i Teacher*
Association met in Atlanta on
Wednesday lagi in the House of
Re pt er>ci) tali vcs. Tne meeting wu
oro tded over bv President II S
Walker of Augusta. Governor
Gordon who was on the progn m
to deliver the welcome address was
escorted to the hall and m*de a
very brief address. He Said that
he was seriously indisposed; was
too sick to attempt to make a
speech, and had been warned b\
Lis physicians not to think of
making an address. He would
howe'er express bis plea-ure at
meeting the colored teacher* of the
State. He would assure them that
he would watch their proceedings
with interest. He wanted the
members of the Association to feel
that in him they had a triend. He
was their friend, and he desired
them to be his friend. These re
marks w* re w irmly appreciated by
the mem<>ers.
Prof. M. J. Maddox of Gaines
ville, Fla., responded.
Addresses were then delivered
by Bishop H. M. Turner, and Rev.
Mr. Finch, who alluded to the
many good qualities possessed by
the Governor.
Miss Lucy C. Laney so well and
favorably known as the late princi
pal of the East Broad Stree 8. uool
of Savani a.i, read an admirable
essay entitled ••Our Nation” which
received the plaudits of the ArSoul
ation.
A number of addresses were de- I
livered, among them one from P ot j
Chase, of he Atlanta University
on “The es-entials ol te .ch eg ”
i’liH address War comm- nded in the
high rt terms by R v. F ovd Snel
s.n, Rev W. J. White, Pr<‘.f. R, R.
Wright, and Mr Thorn..s Dem.
Th« Association closed its labors
on Friday after a very ititereSHng
Session.
The mayor of Pittsburg has ap
pointed about twenty colored men

The new mayor of Chicago has

The Negro's freedom and ci izen
ship came about through agiiation,
and it .rill be only through peisist

abled to enjoy all the rights and
privileges of an Ann tic.n citizen.
Let there be no rest lid we gain
ibis end —Southern Leader.
We hope to See the day when re*
spectable colored ladies and gentle
men can enter a first-class ch
without being insulted by the por
ter or conductor. What has been
a mystery io us since uursouijourn
in the South is tn «t coiored ladies
are refused admittance intu first
class cars when they travel alone
but when they g > as servants noth
ing is said, -uch prejudice is p< r
fecily foolish. It a lady is good
enough to ride with in one position
the is gvud ch ugh in another. 1.
is time such nonsense was stopped.
—Normal Index, Hu tsville -
Bishop Henry M. Turner, of Atlanta
is well known as a leader among the
Negroes. In New York, a lew days
ago, he t'»ld a St<r reporter that the
NegiOes JU the Sou h w. re favorably
disp sed toward P.esidwut < leveland,
and that their friendship for him would
be sul-8 initially manifested in 1888,
He also told H.e repoiter that the Ne
groes had tired long ag . of R publican
promises, ini-usc ami hypocrisy. Ihe
white people of the South know that
Bism p Turner tuld the truth.—Morn
ing News.
Bishop Turner, i* a verybtilhant
man, and of great originality, and
President Cleveland may be a very
good man, but we don’t see why the
Negroes of the South should be
pariicularlv friend'y to M . Cleve
land's administration. Mi. Lteve-
I iud bus done nothing for the Ne
groes of the South, and he is at
the head of a party that is the
Negroes greatest enemy. It is true
the white Republican mushroom
leaders of late years have pt everted
the principles of the Republican
party, and u ed the Nigroes to
their own selfish gam and advan
tage, but because the Negroes
have been deceived by a few Re
publicans it does not follow that
they will desert the great party of
■reedoin and equal rights. Give the
Negroes of the bomb a fair suuare
vote and boms' count and their
friendship “would be substantially
manifested in 1888” for President
Cleveland by giving him a rest
from his official labors. .

THIS INTHH OCBLAN has ftom rbe begtan'n* beea
th* defondor of home institutions and ? 'narican
Ideas. It Is rhe advocate of equal rights for all ba
for* the- law, of protection to Ame-iceu labor, and
of the idea that America is for Americans- not neo
essH.rlly American s by birth, bul 'rue citizens of the
Republic. It believes fn the West and Western
man, holds to the idea ’hat the f.ature seat of em
pire will be in the MiHsisßlppt Ve.lley, and is bold
and agfreest ve in its opposir on to the unholy alli
ance between the money-changers of New York
City and the States lately in rebellion.
THE INTER OCHAN ie earnestly in ftavor of the
Republican partfr because it believes the principles
of that party are correct, and that, honestly car
ried out, they will best protect the right* and ad
vance the interests of the whole people. It is not,
however, a blind follower, but is always ready to
denounce Republican wrongr-doing, either Id high
or low places
THE INTER OCEAN has always maintained that
the Nation is under an obligation to the soldiers ot
the late war, who jeopardized their Uvea to protect
It from armed Veasou. which It can never repay,
and, consequently, advocated the establish
ment of Soldiers' Homes and the enactment of
such pension laws as would leave no disabled vet
eran In want.
As a Newspaper THH INTER OCEAN Is not ex
celled in the United States. Aside ftom the service
of the Associated Prase, In which it holds a mem
bership, it keeps a body of Special Corre
