Tub Omaha woman who entered her
infant, in the baby show and walkcdiofl*
and deserted it because it failed to cap
ture the prize, exhibited what the Inter-
Ocean regardti as a “high-water mark”
of maternal pride.
Tub condemned Chicago anarchists are
reported as still "very delimit.” It. is
n defiance which may he pityingly al
lowed them. They have little time left
in which to exercise it.
Tub Knights of Labor convention at
Richmond is through with its credential
contests, and tho “color line” contest is
also happily allayed. Now if they can
got through their work quickly and
wisely it will be well for them and for
the country.
Njsw IIampsiiiiik will have a new sen
ator to choose when her legislature meets
in January. Senator I’ike, deceased, was
a very fair republican, though not a great
one. Mr. lilaine will have a hand in the
choice of his successor.
Hum. progress toward honest revenue
reform has been greater in the last six
months than in the twenty years pre
ceding. The farmers, the wage-workers,
the merchants, even the manufacturers
themselves, are learning the atrocious
iniquity of maintaining a war tarrir in
time of peace.
Ali, industrial and trade pursuits were
•suddenly cheeked in the Hpring and
many of them seriously crippled for sev
eral months hv the Martin Irons’ strikes.
Trade has since then recovered, and
there is fair promise now of active and
prosperous fall business, is this to lie
checked up by a new series of strikes?
If there was a plot to destroy American
industries, no surer plan to elfect that
oiiject could he adopted than by these
frequently recurring, strikes when trade
promises to lie brisk.
As if to exhibit the audacity of strikes,
there is one in the American rubber fac
tory at Cambridge, near Boston, which
was caused by a “spat” between two of
the female employes. The row between
the girls having led to a wider disturbance
they were both dismissed by a sub-fore
man, whereupon the hands struck, de
manding the reinstatement of the quar
relsome girls and the removal of the
sub-foreman to another department. Pos
sibly the more there is of this now the
less room there will he for strikes here
after.
UKTTINd AKTKK A “I'HKKITIKK.”
The colored congregations in Eufaula
have a summary way of dealing with
their ministers who insult them from the
pulpit. Two or three days ago a delega
tion of colored Baptist brethren marched
into tho ollico of the Eufaula Times.
They had a colored preacher named
Hicks in charge. They told the editor
that they were going to make Hicks pub
lish a card and they did. Here it is:
To Tit it Public.— On Sunday last at 3 p. m.
I preqphed nt the court house by appointment of
tho Eufuula Baptist Association then in session
in this city. 1 am charged with having said, iu
the sermon, that “all the praying which the
colored race have done since emancipation was
just enough to sink them to hell.” 1 desire now
to say that I am not conscious of having uttered
jsuon a sentiment; but, if l did, I repudiate it. 1
have too high an opinion of the piety and char
acter of my race to make any remark which will,
in any respect, be to its injury. 1 J. P. Hicks.
Kuftiula, Ala.. Oct. 11, 1886.
11‘the Bov. 1 licks “preeehed” that “all
the praying which the colored race have
done since emancipation” was just
enough to take them to the old Hurry,
he ought to have stuck to it, but he ought
to have given the amount required to
take them elsewhere. Evidently the
brethren bull-dozed the Rev. Hicks into
a retraction. Preachers ought to be paid
by the government, so that they could
say what they think to tlieir congrega
tions. The Rev. Hicks ought to go north
and get him a white congregation. When
n colored preacher abuses his congrega
tion they harness him and make him
take it all back. But when a white
preacher abases and billingsgates his con
gregation, they pat him on the back and
call him a boss sensationalist and raise
his salary. We would counsel the Rev.
Hicks to learn what he is going to
"preech” by heart, before he unloads on
another Eufaula congregation. Cards of
apology and retraction are ugly things
emanating from anybody,but especially
from a “preecher” like the Rev. Hicks.
: AFRICANS AMI ASIATICS AS (TTIZFNS.
To he i^i American citizen is to he in-
vexted with great and extraordinary
! privileges. It 1h to become not only the
; object of governmental protection, hut *o
ho indued with the right to an equal
share in tho exercise of governmental
power. It is to have the right to claim
not only the whole strength of the
government for the protection of person
and property, hut to have equally with
every other citizen a voice in the making
of the laws and tho selection ofitsolli-
cers. Every citizen is intrusted, there
fore, with tlie keeping not only of his
own political and civil interests, hut
with the civil rights, privileges and in
terests of every other citizen.
Privileges of citizenship, therefore, are
coupled with corresponding responsibili
ties and burdens. To claim these privi
leges hence, is to assume an equal share
in the responsibilities and burdens of
society, To ignore these responsibilities
and shirk the burdens, ought always to
work a forfeiture of the privileges of cit
izenship. If good government is a boon
alike to all, then its mainteinance im
poses equal solicitude.
But how do we (hid these matters to
he regarded by the Africans and Asiatics
whose lot has been cast on American
soil? While they are clamorous for all
the privileges of citizenship, they are yet
wholly insensible to its responsibilities.
At first this may seem a sweeping charge,
hut how stands the facts upon dose scru
tiny? Attend the criminal courts, and it
will there he seen that nine-tenths of the
criminals are negroes. Ordinarily this
would argue nothing more than that
as a race they are more depraved
than tho whites. But watch the
proceedings, and it will be seen
that in nine eases out of ten, the
negro on trial, especially if tho object of
his offending was against the- person ' or
property of a white man, as is generally
the ease, then no matter how or in
what degree he has olfended, lie will
have the unstinted and undiscriminating
sympathy of the entire negro race. They
will yearn for his acquittal, no matter
what may be the evidences of his guilt,
and if acquitted they rejoice in it, not as
showing the man’s innocence, but as a
victory gained by one of their race over
law and order. As for the actual guilt
or innocence of the accused they care ab
solutely nothing. If anything,
the more manifest the man’s guilt, the
more intense becomes their interest in
Iuh behalf. And when sentenced, how
ever guilty, he is regarded as a martyr.
Courts, jails and officers of the law are
all regarded as instituted and maintain
ed for the especial discomfort and perse-'
cation of the negro race. The burden
and responsibility of maintaining law
and order is cast entirely upon the white
man, yet equally with them they claim
equal privileges and distribution in gov
ernment affairs.
Another tiling is noticeable. Negroes
do not recognize the obligations they
are under, as citizens, to disclose the per
petration of a crime by one of their race.
They feel that to he none of their busi
ness. They regard it as altogether the
white man’s business to catch the thief,
if he can. They go further—they do all
they eau to conceal the theft,
and throw every obstacle in the
way of its discovery, feeling that
every successful theft committed by one
of their race is to much made out of the
white man. lienee, in communities
where a large proportion of the popula
tion are negroes, and where the chances
to conceal for each other are good, it is
exceedingly difficult to ferret out tile
perpetrator of a crime. Whenever they
do make disclosures of theft or kindred
offenses it is usually after the goods
stolen have been disposed of and because
of some personal grudge against the of
fender. and not from any motives of pub
lie good.
It is hard upon the white nuin, that
he should have to shoulder the entire
burden and responsibility of ma'ntqin-
ing law and order and then he allowed to
have no greater share in the privileges
ol'society than do those who cast them
selves squarely against law and order.
These trails of character, which unfit
the negro race, seem to attach to the
Chinese also, for our exchanges f:o:u the
west const lately, give accounts of the
actings and doings of the people in that
part of San Francisco called China Town.
They tell how China Town is tilled
with junk shops where stolen goods are
bought and harbored and how the
place supports great numbers of
thieves who prowl about in droves at
night, hunting for open windows, and
how expert the Chinaman has become
in using an extension pole with a hook
on one end with which ho robs beds of
their covering, even when persons are
sleeping upon them, and how nearly im
possible it is to catch up with the perpe
trators because of the aid, comfort and
support they receive from the entire
Chinese population. Y#t there are those,
doubtless, who in the face of all these
facts, would insist on investing these
predatory thieves with the entire privi
leges of American citizenship. These
night-prowling, predatory propensities,
seem to belong alone to the Africans and
Asiatics. Few of the Europeans, whether
of Scotch, Irish, English, Spanish,
Sweeds or Germans, ever manifest any
such propensities, but all of these, as a
people, when they seek homes in Ameri
ca and become residents of this republic,
assume their share of the burdens of
maintaining law and order. Chicago, it
is true, has developed some hot-headed,
bloodthirsty anarchists, but they are not
races. They are individuals of all races
and nationalities, and the trouble they
give is political and hold, and in time will
correct itself, for tho children of
anarchists will ho American horn ami
will become imbued with the true
principles of American government.
These things are said, not for the pur
pose of casting odium upon any race, but
our duty as journalists is to represent
matters as they are, and to use what in
fluence we have to correct existing evil-.
Now if tlie ministers of the negro race
would point out to their people their de
ficiencies as citizens, and use their in
fluence to correct the evils of which
we complain, they would greatly benefit
their people. In spite of the evils of
which we have spoken, however, the ne
gro has many redeemable qualities and
is permanently in our midst, and it be
hooves us to do what can he done to
make him recognize his responsibilities
as a citizen. The duty of the govern
ment, however, is to protect all within her
dominions and on her soil in their rights
of person and property, whether citizens
or foreigners.*
