The people on ■Mars are possibly finer engineers ghhan we. Then, the men who live there, we judge, are much stronger ( for we presume them to be about | ten feet high, weighing from seven Ito eight hundred pounds each— | Southam Recorder. By persistent agitation and un- | tiring efforts, the leading colored ?|citizeDßof this city, supplementing Fthe bold fight of the Leader, have i paved the way for the ultimate en joyment of equal accommodation , for eqaal tare on all public carriers j<D this State. Hereafter, when a J colored person rides in a first-class coach with ease and comfort un molested by railroad roughs and 1 hirelings, let him remember that < the change has been brought about through agjtation and through the | efforts of the Southern Leader. * * * iThe movement is grounded on the great principles of justice and fair play, and success is already partly achieved. We must remind our people that they must conduct themselves and make such an appearance as will j command respect when they navel. I Untidiness or rough conduct on the , | part of a passenger, white or col lared, is objectionable, and should i|be avoided. Genteel colored pas- Lsengors don’t want to miugle with and disorderly whites, £j|k' th er do genteel whites like to mingle with disorderly or untidy colored people. Don’t lose sight of this fact. If your conduct and ap pearance are genteel, nobody has a reasonable right to object to your riding in a first-class coach. Railroad and steamboat corpora tions and managers are beginning to appreciate the great injustice committed on colored passengers, and they show a disposition to cor rect the wrongs wo have suffered, and to give us decent accommoda tions hereafter when we travel cn cars or on steamboats.—Southern Leader The Union of pastors as now or ganized in Jacksonville and the Leader have done some good work in bringing to pass better privileges and accommodations on public con veyances for the race in Florida. — Flotida Sentinel. The Queen of the Hawaiian Islands wh<» is on a visit to this country has been the object of much attention from the Government and dignitaries at Washington. A few days ago a government steamer was placed at tier disposal for a vis it to Mount Vernon, and because the commanding officer received her with the most respectful hom age, the Ailanta Constitution writhes and twists itself in pitiful agony and for no other reason than that the Queen happens to have a daik complexion. Because a colored queen is treat ed r< spectfully and is called a beautiful woman by one of our government officers, this great jour nal of the “New South” goes out ot the way to make ugly flings prejudi cial to the colored race. The Con stitution objects to colored ladies being treated as such. Chivalrous Georgians have been in the habit of treating colored women as wives from time immemorial, and it is hard to understand why any ol them should speak c mlemptiously of ladies became of their color. Following is the speech said to have been made by Lieut. Cowles on board the vessel which has so annoyed our Atlanta Contempora ry: “I ask your gracious majesty’s per mission to speak. [The queen bowed her head.] His excellency, the Secre tary of the navy, begs that your majes ty will accept his respectful homage, and begs that your majesty will accept of this vessel to convey you to Mount Vernon, the resting place of the illus trious founder of this country The Secretary is always glad to render any service to a beautiful woman and is doubly plea-ed to day in the fact that that beautiful woman is your graciou majesty, the wi>e ruler of a nation near and friendly to the United States." The South must construct its new building on the foundation of jus tice. No class of its citizens must be subjected to undue prejudice for the elevation of another. Our laws and business transactions under them should know no race nor color. It does not matter what men may say, and how sections are boomed, prosperity will not stay long where injustice rules.— [Nor mal Index. Editor T T Fortune and Rev. W B Derrick tendered a compliment ary reception and banquet to Hon. HOC Ast wood, U. S. Consul at San Domingo, at theS'evens House New York, on Mav 6 which f-om the report in the New York Free man was a grand affair. Speeches were made by Mr. Astwood, Lawyer T McCants Stewart. Hon. J M Langston, Gen’l Horatio’King, Mr. Fortuno and others. Every lady will be interested in the June Number of Demorest g Monthly, as it is an exceedingly interesting one. The steel plate, “The Fate of Nydia,” is novel and very beautiful, both in execution and design, and the other illustra tions are also very fine. The Fashion Department of this excellent publication is so well edited as to lead many to suppose that it is a Fashion Magazine, but this is a great mistake; for in reality it is a Literary Magazine of the highest order, with hII its depart ments so ablv conducted that every member of the family watches with interest for its arrival. We know of no magazine better deserving to be called a Family Magazine, and it ought to be found in every household. That the publisher is a Prohibitionist, tells i where it stands on the Temperance question. Published by W. Jen nings Demorest, 15 East 14tb Street, New York. THE NEORO AND POLITICAL PARTIES, Editor Savannah Tribune: In our judgment nothing is stranger than the multiplicity of views expressed by all classes as to the Negro and politics. The Dem ocrats seem to think he should vote with them, but for what reason God only knows unless it is because they have always been his worst enemy. The Republicans on the other hand argue that the poor Negro should vote with them in season and out ot season, because as they say. they freed him gave him the ballot, etc., and we are sorry to see on the part of some intelligent Negroes a dis position to pander to both of these policies* The fact of the whole matter is the colored citizens of this country owe nothing to either of tne two great parlies, for neither has done anything for them that they were not forced to do and even that little has more than been repaid; conse quently we are free to do jus a.- we please so far as the past is con cerned. But in all future contests it should be our chief aim to so use our ballots as to produce the great est amount of good to onr people and country. In plain words we believe the time has come when we as a people should live, think, and act for ourselves, regardless of par ty or party names. When we do thi.- our assistance will be sought by all and we should help the one giving the best g laiantee of protection in all of our political and civil rights. Observer.
