Prejudice Should fa Respected. There are negro editors who display more sense about the appointment of negroes to office thsn do some of the ■white editors One such conducts the Indianapolis Freeman, and “doubts the propriety of the administration appointing colored men to positions where prejudice is high and protection inadequate.” The whole argument against tbs appointment of negroes, except where their appointment is desired by the patrons of the office, is summed up in the very words preju dice and protection, here used. No man should ever be named by the fed eral government for postmaster io any locality when there is a prejudice against him among the people whom he must serve, and when be requires protection because of such prejudice. —New York Evening Poet.
