WHAT HON. C. H. J. TAYLOR
WANTS THE NEGRO TO DO.
To Think for Himself in Politics and
Vote the Democratic Ticket—To Give
Up all Idea of Social Equality-To
Call Himself a Negro—The Remarka
ble Career of the Liberian Minister.
Hon. Charles H. J. Taylor, United States
Minister, resident, and Consul General at
Monrovia, Liberia, and Barrister in the
United States Supreme Court, is in the city,
having come here to begin a work to which
he means to devote all his energies for the
remainder of his life. He is a negro and
his career is a remarkable one. He started
in life as a slave, but has risen to a high
position, in which he is respected by all who
know him. He will, in the future, occupy
his time exclusively in the work
of elevating ’ his race. He is by
far the most advanced man of
his race and he dubs himself “the champion
of anew idea.” He became so prominent
by bis appointment to the Ministry of Libe
ria that "a sketch of his life will not be out
of place, particularly as he lived in Savan
nah for 3ome years.
He was born in Marion, Perry county,
Alabama, in 185(5, a slave. At the close of
the war be obtained his freedom, but he re
mained at his ol i home, where his parents
staid, until 1808, when he came to Savan
nah. He began here as a newsboy, selling
the Morning News, or as it was styled
then, the News and Herald ,
and he was soon recognized
as the most successful of ail
newsboys. He sold more papers than any
other boy, running as high as 175 to 20J a
day. Ho left here in 1871 and went to Ann
Arbor, Mich. He had saved his money,
and he continued to do so while there. He
worked in the day, and attended school at
night. Finally lie prepared himself for col
lege, eml by that time he had accumulated
money enough to pay the expenses of his
education.
BECOMES A. LAWYER.
He took a three years course at
the University and graduated in law.
From there be went to Ma
rion, Grant county, Ind., and began the
practice of law. Two months after he set
tled in the town he obtained a case, defend
ing a white man who was charged with
murder, and his defen -e was so able and his
speech so eloquent, that Charles W. Watkins,
the District Attorney, appointed him his
deputy. After living in Marion for a while
he found that the negroes who acquired
money and education invariably
deserted their own race . and
courted the whites, and he was so dis
gusted with their conduct in despising
their own people as soon as they rose above
them, instead of going among them and
trying to raise them to their own level, that
he left Marion and went to Kansas City,
where there were numbers of negroes, and
more were constantly going. They com
posed only one-sixth of the population of
Kansas City, but Taylor’s excellent charac
ter and ability made him so popular with the
white people (hat he was appointed City
Prosecuting Attorney, which position be
held untiil he wa. app-luted to the Liberian
mission. At o< time, when there was a
vacancy on the bench of the district com
posed of Jo inson, Wyandotte and Miami
counties, he was run as an independent
candidate for the judgeship, and he came
within a few votes of being elected. When
he offered himself as a candidate for the
Liberian mission, his cause was strongly ad
vocated by Dr. Morrison Mumford, of the
Kansas City Times, and his strongest
friends in the Senate were Senators Wade
Hampton, of South Carolina, and Seuator
Coekrell, of Mis ouri, though Senators
Vest, of Missouri, Brown and Colquitt, of
Georgia, and Daniels, of Virginia, worked
hard for him, and every Democrat.c Sena
tor on the floor voted for him.
WHY HE RESIGNED HIS MISSION.
The reason which he gives for resigning
his mission is that the climate of Liberia is
so exceedingly unhealthy, and because he
thinks he can do more good for his people
by coming back to this country than Dy re
maining in Africa.
The ex-Minister was seen last night for
the purpose of obtaining his views on the
negro question. He is a man who would
attract attention anywhere. He is short in
stature and stoutly built. He is a dark
mulatto and wears a moustache and im
perial. His eye is bright and he shows his
intelligence in bis face. He is a nervous
speaker and grows very enthusiastic when
he speaks of the question which is an all
absorbing one to him. He limps slightly
and he says that every time he limps he
shows his fealty to the Democratic party,
for he was shot in the leg in 1876 by some
negroes in South Carolina, when he was
working against the Chamberlain dynasty.
He dresses plainly but neatly, but he can
afford to dress well, for he is worth over
#40,000. He says that his rule has been
whenever ho made $1 to save 50c. of it, and
if he wanted anything and could not get it
without spending part of that 50., he would
go without it. Li introducing the subject
of the future of the negro he was asked:
“To what special reform will you, as a col
ored man, devote yourself?”
“I beg your pardon,” he replied, “but I
am not a colored man I am a negro. I
object to the term colored man. It is
apologetic in the first place and incorrect in
the second. It implies that we are ashamed
of our name. We arc not. It is true that
the negroes always call another a ‘nigger’
as a term of contempt. Those who do so
are the uneducated, and they must be
taught better. There is i lothing contemptu
ous in the name negro. If we can make our
way in the world, educate ourselves and ac
quire wealth, we will be just as much re
spected when called negroes as if we are
i -ailed by any other name. It is we and not
our name who make ourselves respected or
despised. Besides negro is our national
name—l do not care whether you spell it
with a big or little n—jnst as Irish is the
name of those who come from Ireland.
NEGRO, NOT COLORED MAN.
“It is incorrect for two reasons. Black is
not a color, and therefore the black man
cannot be a colored man. When you say
colored man it seems as if you implied that
someone hail come around with a paint pot
and brush ami colored us. It is hot so. We
were born lilacs. No, I detest the term
colored man. I want the national name.
But as to the future of the negroes. My
aim and object in seeking to make myself
distinguished is to reach a position to make
them listen to me. lam only 31 years old,
the youngest man in the diplomatic service,
and my jieople .will not pay any atten
tion to a man, particularly a young
man, unless he is known and
to a certain extent distinguished. They
want a negro to be backed by the white
people liefore they will hear him. I have
placed myself in that position, and now I
have resigned to go back among them, and
help them to rise. The doctrines that. I will
teach them, is to abominate miscegenation
and absorption into the white race, and to
•■ease to look to the white race for constant
aid, and to give up this nonsensical idea of
social equality. If a white man and
negro were to sit down to the table
to eat dinner together, the appetites of
neither would be sharpened by tho
company of the ot er. and if a negro Imv
is dull and stupid he will not learn a particle
more if he sits next to a bright, shrewd
white boy in school. I heartily despise a
negro man, who, having risen above his
race, marries a white woman, or a negro
woman, who, if she obtains money and an
education, marries a white man; for, in the
first place, the white people that they will
marry are the lowest or their race, of the
tramp order; and in the second, the negroes
have deserted their people and their sphere,
and turned against their people instead of
using their advantages for the benefit of
their race.
THE SOCIAL EQUALITY (JtKSTrON.
“A want tu make the negro indopcndunt
He can never accomplish anything while he
is thinking of trying to get into white so
ciety. He must learn to make a society of
his own, and ho must consider that society
the best that there is. He must have pride
in his own people and his own society.
Even if he could get into white society, it
would be a bad thing for him, for the best
society for him is the black society. The
Spaniards must succeed as Spaniards,
the Germans as Germans, the Americans
as Americans, and the negroes
as negroes. The Germans could
never accomplish a thing if they, as a race,
were trying to become Americans. They
must remain Germans and look upon the
Germans as the best iieople in tho world or
they cannot progress, and so must tho ne
gro. I want the negroes to cut loos from
the whites and depend upon themselves lor
a living instead of looking always to the
whites for support. I want them to buy
their own farms, build their own homes,
school houses aud churches, run their own
hotels have some insurance companies of
their own, do their own business, be honest
aud have confidence in each other. They
must educate themselves, and they will
learn to make and save money, and after a
while they may have their owu railroads
and banks. Politically, I want to divide
the vote, and I have come here to do it. I
want them to think for themselves in
politics, and not think by proxy. They have
let the Republidan party think for them,
but I want them to stop ihat and do their
own thinking. Then they will learn that the
Democratic party is their friend and that
they have only been used as a club by the
Republicans to beat the Democrats with.”
Taylor will lecture on Liberia at the Second
African Baptist church on Tuesday, Dec.
27, and he will then tell the negroes the
difference between them and the people of
their race in their mother country.
ON RAIL. AND CROoSTIE.

of a private ear. This will be a handsome
Christmas present to himself and a comfort
able companion all the year round.
The annual meeting of the Traveling Pas

fact, no amount of paing or money will be
spared in making the meeting there one of
the pleasantest they have ever held.

•Speaking of greenhorns,” said an old
Virginia conductor recently, “one morning,
just before the war, as my train drew up at
Brandy station, ’a chap in a butternut suit
and a home-made wool hat rushed up and
addressed me as I stepped to the grourd.
“ ‘ls you th’r clerk erthis ye’r kyar;’
“ ‘l’m the conductor; what do you want?’
I answered.
“ ‘I wan’ter go ter Washintun on this ye’r
kyar.’
“ ‘Well, get aboard,’ I said.
“He climbed tho steps and rapped on the
door. When he rapped a second time some
wag inside called out, ‘Come in!’ There
were at least fifty passengers in the car.
He began at the front seat, shaking hands
with every one clear to the back end, and
asking each, ‘How d’ye do?” and then ‘How’s
ye’r folks?’ Of course it was a regular cir
cus for the passengers. He lived forty miles
back in the country, and had never seen a
train before.

THE VACANCY IN THE COUNCIL.
A Suggestion that is Worthy of Very
Careful Consideration.
Editor Morning News: I take this method
of suggesting Mr. Charles H. Dorsett to
fill the vacancy iu the B >ard of Aldermen
occasioned by the death of our esteemed fel
low-citizen, R. D. Bogart, Esq. Mr. Dor
sett is a man of untiring euerg and indus
try, and endowed with unusual good judg
ment in every detail of business. His busi
ness career has been a successful one, and
his devotion to the advancement of the moral
and material prosperity of this his native
city is too well known to make it necessary
to refer to it more particularly in this com
munication The board, whose duty is to
fill the vacancy, would find in Mr. Dorset
a worthy successor to Mr. Bogart, and one
who would be a valuable addition to their
number. Savannah.

TO FIGHT THE PULLMANS.
DRUMMERS KICK AGAINST SLEEP
ING BERTH RATES.
The Pullman Company to be Hauled
Before the Railroad Commission for
Violating the Laws in Regard to
Charges—The T. P. A. to Make a Test
Case.
The Pullman Palace Car Company will
be brought up for trial before the Georgia
Railroad Commission shortly on a charge
of violating the rules of the commission in
regard to the charges for sleeping berths
The rule which the commission has made is
that for distances of less than 100 miles, a
sleeping car company may charge not
more than $1; from 100 to 150 miles
le. per mile extra; for more than
150 miles the charge may tie $3. The Pull
man Company, however, charge $2 a berth,
no matter whether the distance is less or
more than 100 miles, aud the Railroad Com
mittee of Post D, S ivannah Travelers’ Pro
tective Association has resolved to break up
that charge, which it considered arbitrary
and unlawful, and compel the company, if
possible, to comply with the rules laid down
by the Commission.
MAKING THE TEST.
One of the members of that committee
got on a Pullman car at Way cross on the
night of Oct. 29, aud in order to make a test
case he tendered $1 in payment. The por
ter refused to receive it,' The committee
man urged that he was entitled to the berth
for sl, as the distance from Wavcross to
Savannah was only ninety-six miles. The
porter, howevgr, positively declined to let
him have the berth for less than the regular
charge, and the $2 was paid
under protest, and a receipt taken.
The matter was reported to the Railroad
Committee of Post D, which addressed a let
ter to the Railroad Commission stating the
position which it took, and inquiring if its
interpretation of the commission’s rules was
correct.
A reply was received from the Secretary
of the commission in which be stated that
the committee had interpreted the law cor
rectly, and he also en losed a copy
of the rules with the ones
which are anplicable marked. Upon
receipt of this the committee wrote to Mr.
H. Porter, local manager of tho Pullman
Car Company, stating the facts and’ asking
that the overcharge be refunded. No re
sponse was received, and two weeks after
the date of this letter another wa- written
telling Mr. Porter that unless a reply was
received by Nov. 25 the matter would be
closed.
THE T. P. A. IGNORED.
Mr. Porter answered that letter and said
that the first communication h.ul bean for
warded to the Division Superintendent, who
had sent it to the general officers in Chica
go, who were the only ones who had power
to act. The committee waited two weeks
more, not desiring to press the matter, and
then wrote to the general officers giving a
full statement of the case. The letter said
that Post D was not pressing the matter in
any spirit of hostility, but simply
to make a test case to ascertain the
rights of travelers under the rulings of
the Georgia Railroad Commission, and in
closing it said that the committee wouid
wait until Dec. la for an answer, and if one
was not received before then it would take
the matter before the commission.
No answer has yet been received, and as
soon as possible the committee will report
the matter to the commission
and have the matter investigated.
It will probably be a lively
fight for the Pullman Comriany has charged
$3 for berths tor all distances ever since
it has been established, and it will have no
desire to make a change, for if it is com
jielled to regulate its charges iu Georgia ac
cording to tue distance the passenger travels,
it mav be required to do the same thing iu
every other State, and such a reformation
would cause it a loss of thousands of dollars
per annum.

To the Public.
Proptis for Sprii ail Suit 1888.
The unprecedented trade in our Millinery Business dur
ing 1887 is owing to the constantly adding of Novelties and
the immense increase of our stock, which is doubtless tho
Largest of Any Retail Millinery in America, exclusive of
New York, and our three large floors cannot hold them.
Already our importations, Direct from Europe, arc ar
riving, and ox Our Third Floor wc are opening Novelties
for Spring and Summer in Ribbons, Frsncm Flowers and
Feathers in the Most Beautiful and No/el Shadea We
are sorry to be compelled, for want of room, to close our
Winter Season so soon, which has been so very successful,
and from to day all our Felt Hats, Fancy Feathers and
Trimmed Hats will be sold at any price. Our Ribbon Sale
will continue until further notice.
