We acknowledge the receipt of ao invitation to be prelent on “Col ored People’s Day” at the Minne apolis Industrial Exposition on the 22nd instant. W« welcome to our exchange I list the Messenger of Columbus, Ga., published by Messrs. B. F. Harvey, editor, and G. W. Allen, business manager. The messenger l is a bright newsy newspaper. ■ Senator Wright of this district b made a strong speech advocating the chain gang bill for teachers in the Senate last Wednesday. Ah Mr I Wright you should not be so anx ious to make a “record. ’ It may I prove very inconvenient some time in the dim future. . Thf Savannah Local has been reckless enough to incur the dis pleasure of the Atlanta Defiance which latter editor Completely wipes up the floor with the editor of the former. We would advise nur friend of the Local to be care ful how he writes about colored editor*; perhaps he had better >et ’em alone altogether. The Tribune knows that it is > right when it strikes in defense of the Negro, and it will always en deavor to do right. The People’s Choice of Macon knows it is doing wrong when it seeks to paliate or uphold the disgraceful measures bending before the Georgia Legis lature looking, to the degradation ot the Negro. The Choice having gone in its hole should stay in it. The Atlanta Defiance would like to “hurrah” for Lincoln and Grant in 1888. Mr. Lincoln was secretary of war under President Arthur, and Col. Grant is the Re- Seblican nominee for Secretary of tate of New York. They are sons <>f the two greatest men the country has ever produced and would make a powerful team. The tickei would perhaps arouse more enthusiasm than any other that could be selec ted by the Republicans. CON SIGN PERDITION: The ihiquitous Glenn bill which would have placed refined, cultured ladies on the chain gang for teach ing white and co|ped children in the same school received its final and destructive blow on Wednes day last in the Senate at Atlanta. The colored newspapers of the State, with one exception. were true to principle and succeed,.d in arousing public sentiment against the measure in all parts of the country. Public opinion was de cidedly ‘against it. and it seem after all ’hat common sense has not entirely deserted the ptesent rep resentatives of the people in the legislaiure. The monstrosity crea ted bv Glenn’s fertile brain which had passed the House has been k 1 ed by the adoption of the sul>- sti u e in the Senate bv a vote of 2 to 13. As already pointed out by the Tiibune however, the substitute is no better than the original bill and ' il 6xa ined in al] its bearings it will b< found to be more pernicious and far reaching in its effects. The substitute will now go bach to the House, and it is to be hoped that the colored press of the State will at onca supplement the good work it has already done by turning its united batteries on the foul iegisla tion which K is proposed to enact against tbs rising generation in the 8 ate. It is the duty of everv good citizen to do all in bis power to a prevent any measure from becom ing a law which will have the effect of making its children disloyal. Senator Brantley, made a very able and common sense speech in the Senate in opposing the Glenn bill. Among the many true things he said are the following: “This bill wai introduced simply to break up the practice of the professors of the At lanta colored University of teaching their children. This bill is clearly uncalled for, and there is not a single senator on this floor who apprehends any coeducation of the races among his immediate constituents. * * 1 say that when the Legislature is passing such laws as relates to the private life of the citizens it is opening the door wide for bad legislation. This bill is unprecedented. There was never enacted such a law as con tained in the provisions of this bill. When the State furnishes equal accommodations to the people of both races, then the State could enforce the provisions of this bill. As applied to public schools our constitu- ' tion contains thia clause which the United States Constitution does not contaia* “There ’ all .be no legislation upon the social status of the citizeaa*' ‘Why not say that the white children shall not play with the black children or go to church together. They can live together, interchange visits play together and finally die together, and de all things except go to school together.’ Bishop Taylor has succeeded in establishing a number of successful missions in Africa. A number of these are not supported by any missionary society, and depend en tirely upon the contributions of people who take an interest in foreign missionary labors. Bishop Taylor’s friends have tn the past 18 months raised $45,000, besides S3O, 000. for building a steel ste ,mer t<> be sailed Bn the Congo. Mmy of the st itions are now raising the Ood which is used for supplies, and in this way Hre almost ■eels-support ing. Seven missionaries have died, but seventy remain and are doing good service. Bishop Taylor is now with the last party ol mission aries who left this country, and is supposed to be on the Congo. They will travel up the Kassai affluent to the rich Baluba country for hundreds of miles, establishing stations as thev go along.—Demor est for Monthly for October. CORRESPONDENCE. Editor, Tribune : Dear Sir—l thought as 1 an out here enjoying the good thing; I would just nay to you what im pressions they make upon me ir busy New York. They do not atop to teach one to find out wheth er he has | Negro blood in hit veins or not for I sat in their res* taurants alongside of the white men and ladies, chatted with them enjoyed my repast, paid and walked out, they bowed politely and re quested me to call again. On my way to Philadelphia the conductor compelled me to pile right along in the first cars and in the same seat with the whites and it did not seem to cripple the white man either. I thought then that it the roughs that threw Miss Morehead out of the car had exhibited more common Sens* ; they could have saved the South from some deg radation by letting her ride unmol ested— to their credit. Mr. Editor in Philadelphia (here) 1 mingle freely with both races wi hunt detriment to either. What I want to ►ay most of all. is that with all of the civil liberties enjoyed out here to me, there is no place that can win my mind from the sweet balinv south breezes. It is the land of mv childhood and no portico of the*e U. 8. is as dear to mean the sweet Sunny Smith. I have arrived at th>s conclusion f;"m my travels that what mv people need is not to leave any portion of these U. S. t»go to another Those that are accustomed to the climate of the Sou h remain right there, seek to cultivate industry in sptte of the low wages prevailing there. Let all ol their transactions be governed by strict business princi pies, truthfulness, honesty, integri ty, virtue and intelligence. Above all things be industrious, for we must acquire wealth before we will ever be sought after hr the control ing race. Mr. Editor you ought to preach to our people the need of building 2 and S story houses, tear down the log cabins of 1787 and build th i improved 2 and 3 story cottages ot 1877. They must live decently before they can feel that they are of much importance in this world, in other words they must remove above the level of slavery to that of freemen, they must learn to rise as American farmers and act Amon the consciousness that upon them the Nation depends f or one of her luoat important staples It is true that the State of Georgia has laws upon her statue books that degrade her such as the laws of miscegnation and the present Glenn bill, bnt what we most need is not white wives. They would not meet the requirements of our presents wants. We are in need of true helpmates that are'willing to help us win a place in the world’s histo ry. Then the colored man cannot afford to lose his identity as a race, much is due to him as such in the converting the swamps of the South in to the prolific fields that gladden the hearts of every true southerner and makes prosperous a section that only Negro brawn could for to-day the climate say that no one shall cultivate its fields but tue Negro if he dare venture through it he shall wear the tallow cast of the malarial land cracker. Mr. Editor I agree that we have much to put up with in the way of discrimination, but that will only be overcome when enough colored men make up their minds to die as martyrs in their tracks before they will allow anyone to insult their women in the uncivilized way that Miss Morehead was. Since writins the foregoing I just thought I would drop you another ac count of the impressions that are being made upon ine in Philadelphia. On last Friday night the New Ameri can Party held a met ting. It was t<> get up planks for their platform, they f«re ever so anxious to have the colored men come in and take an active part. One of their planks is the pro tection of American laboieis But Mr. Editor having seen the Monster Parade in Philadephii of the Trade Unions [ noticed the absence of the American Negro. I am led to the conclusion that all of this protective industries means nothing to the Negro unless they are going to open their doors to our sous to become trained in these va~ious industries. Piactically they make protection work against us. Then of necessity we that are agriculturists must look forward to free trade until it is of intereat to us as a people to support protection. We cannot become Demo crats for to be a Democrat is to be a mystery to ones self—they are nothing they have no fixed principles, only prejudiced to everything th it tends to build up the country. Let me illustrate to you an answering incident at the American Party meeting. A southern Democrat sends them a letter of greet ing with a wi«h for their ultimate suc cess, with the request that they wil inculcate in their principles a platform these words;- “No one but American born white men shall fill office.” The members of the new party held up the letter after reading it and said that it was the braying of an ass, that mau they said is not an American in theory or the fact what is wanted is American for Americans without any regard for race or previous condition or servitude. Mr. Editor the R,‘publicnns up here are nxious f»r ’the legi-lature to puss the Glenn bill as a vindication of what they have been saying all the time about the way the Negro are treated in the South. But the democrats are wild ever it, they say that the demo crats by the Glenn bill have stole their cause they cannot elect Cleveland or anyone else if the Smith fails to fall in line with the present condition. Mr. Edit r those outrages that are being perpetrated South are doing more to help ihe colored people than you have an id< a of. The North 8‘ es plainly that life liberty and the pursuit of happiness are really being denied in that section of there free U. S. They c-unm >qly call Glenn, upon the streets here, a fool. Savannah.
