SATURDAY, - FEB. 2,1895 Editorial Opinion. God ls raising np white friends for no. To have true religion ls not to lose hope. The jury system of this country la rory defective. I> justice in the courts ls the cry¬ ing evil of the sge. It la natural to do wrong; lt la heavenly to do right. When conscience does its duty, worry of mind follow*. Thc fire* of persecution set m to be brighter and hotter. Oub sinful natures are constantly struggling against upright living. Frowns upon the countenance gen¬ erally Indicate vengeance In tbe heart. The Indian haa his trouble and fights lt out; the Negro has his and prays. Good behavior helps ns much as a people and we should not fall to practice it. Sobriety, even under difficulties will do much towards remedying ev¬ ils. Disappointments aro the order of the age, lt seems and we should not lose heart on account of them. President Cleveland ls sadly In need of a Secretary of the Treasury, bat Mr. Carlisle doesn't seem to know lt. Bb frugal, be Industrious, be God fearing, and be ever ready to keep out of the way of the lynchers. Babah words cause much trouble, and Indiscreet actions, and wasteful expenditures land ns In tho poor¬ house. Every one should Impress upon his neighbor the necessity of sup¬ porting race journals. If we can In¬ crease the circulation, we can im¬ prove the appearance of our publi¬ cations. Afro-American journals are stead¬ ily on the increase. Hard times seem not to wipe out the venturesome spirit. Well, the more the merrier. We aro pleased to see thom come. The bar-roorpc&ie having a larger attendance on Sunday than the churches, and i. .lon* in the first named pla n the Increase. Ir colored people were a race of paupers as some of these preju¬ diced white people would picture thom to be, a building covering as much ground aa the city of Rich¬ mond would not accommodate the indigent of the race.

Wo are pleased with lt, and recommend lt to the public: THE GREAT BROOKLYN STRIKE. The great Brooklyn Street-Car Strike ia about ended, and the com¬ pany won, aa must have boon appar¬ ent from the first that it would do. Ito victory, however has been cost¬ ly, and the lesson taught on both sides should tend to show all parties the necessity for conservatism and tho settlement of affairs of this kind by arbitration. The company was unwilling to do this, and as a result lost thousands of dollars, which will aggregate more money than tho increase of wages In question amounted to. The strikers are heavy losers. Be¬ sides the consequent loss of life, they In common with the people of New York state must bear tho expense entailed In the transportation and maintenance of troops in the riotous district. The decision of Judge Gaynor that tbe companies owe a duty to tbe public first and the stockholders af¬ terwards and accordingly must op¬ erate their lines and furnish the ser¬ vice required under their charters is good law. He asserted that these companies muet secure tbe labor necessary for the ful Oiling of their contracts with the city, even though they have to pay more for lt. If they saw fit to get cheaper la¬ bor, they could do so, but not to the detriment of tho service guaranteed the public. On the other hand, the city and state are under obligations to afford protection and see to lt that the companies are not prevent¬ ed from carrying out the stipula¬ tions In their charters by lawless parties. We cannot understand how the striking motor-men and conductors could hope to win in the face of the financial depression and universal poverty ezlrtlng throughout the country. Able-bodied men in other sections were on the verge of starva¬ tion and the companies knew it. The terms offered were so much In excess of the nothing which they were receiving that they were ready to risk life and limb In order to se¬ cure it. It will be a long time in tbe future before the line between capital and labor will be properly defined. One of the leaders of the strike de¬ clared that the government owner¬ ship of the railway lines would be the only proper solution of the problem. The doctrine is to an extent socialis¬ tic and yet we doubt not, but what during the next generation some such plan may be put on foot which will lead to the operation of the roads upon the same principle that the post-office department ls han¬ dled. This can only come, however, by legislation of such a character as to make the operation of the many lines unprofitable to the capitalists who will hasten to sell out to the government rather than Buffer fur¬ ther loos. RICHARD BROWN'S STATEMENT. The plain, straight forward state¬ ment of Richard Bbown, relative to the treatment accorded him both by his employer and the courts has awakened much interest and caused positive expressions of sympathy. Here ls a colored man who had earn ed $3.33 for the week.. His employer, Charles H. Page paye him fl 33, an amount which ls insignlficent. He retains $2.00 to pay on a fine that he presumed would be Imposed upon him [Page] either for running an unlicensed cart upon the streets or over-loading a mule. Richard Bbown demanded the money which Charles H. Page un¬ lawfully withheld and upon his refus¬ al to give him the same threatened him. Page becomes frightened and pays him the money, and then after, as Brown alleges chasing him a equare with a gun goes and secures a warrant for the arrest of Bbown, charging him with having felonious¬ ly secured from him by threat the money referred to. Bbown did not strike Page. The latter does not even claim that he did, bat a jory after hearing the facts In the case finds him guilty and ascertains his punishment at five ybabs in the penitentiary. Brown's counsel moves for a new trial and Judos Witt seta aside the ver¬ dict. Consternation seizes the white counsel for the accused and he agrees to a verdict of "assault and battery." Now as to where the assault took place or who "got the battery" ls the most interesting question. Suf¬ fice lt to say that upon such a mis¬ leading plea and Indictment. Bbown ¦/as sentenced to one year in jail and to-day gft&ea through, the bars ot the prison, a monui the dis¬ regard of law and tbe visitations of Injustice. If Chas. H. Page had a gun and chased Richard Brown, was he not guilty of oven a more heinous offense than that with which the latter stood charged? uninterrupted, transacting his bu* lneao while Bbown lo con fl oed In the city jail. Moreover, there io no re¬ cord that Charles H. Page has boen punished for running an un¬ licensed wagon upon the streets. There is no record that a warrant has been sworn out for his arrast, although lt is now known that ho had no such license upon the wagon which Brown drove. Charles H. Page did unlawfully pursue one Richabd Bbown with a gun for the purpose of killing him Has any such charge been preferred against him, and If so has he boon punished? Bbown should not hove threatened Mb. Paoe, but tho latter had the former's money and would not give lt to him. Would not any man have acted just aa Bbown did ? If lt was unlawful for Bbown to de¬ mand his money under threat, was it not wrong for Page to retain it without due process of law? We maintain that every official in this state is In honor bound to re¬ cognize the civil and political equal¬ ity of all men before the law. Io dealing with a whlto man and a colored one they muet treat the two just as they would two white men or two colored ones when the aforesaid gentlemen come to them with conflicting Interests. It won't do to say gentlemen that he is a "nigger." It your prfjodiceo will not allow you to administer justice impartial¬ ly, far better will lt be for j ou now, and your souls in the hereafter that you resign the office or decline to accept a position which causes you to live a lie and to practice per jory. We aver that severity In dealing with a Negro and leaning tn dealing with a white man ls In direct antag¬ onism with the oath of office and tn violation of the guarantees of the Bill ot Rights of Virginia. No Chris¬ tian should be guilty of such con¬ duct; no unbeliever, should labor juider such a monument of dishonor. Tynch-law must go! THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. President Cleveland's message upon the financial situation con¬ tributes nothing new to the public, but tends to emphasize a condition which Democratic .imbecility has made possible. The abandonment of the financial scheme of bis Secretary of the Treas¬ ury, John G. Carlisle was in keep¬ ing wita what was to be expected. Helios placed the financial depart¬ ment of hts administration in thor¬ oughly incompetent hands and he now comes forward with suggestions which will be taboed by party associates and regard¬ ed with indifference by the Republi¬ cans. The country is slowly, but surely drifting to another financial parlc, and values of commodities as well as money will be unsettled. The result of this will be tha remarkable spectacle of a Democratic President calling an extra sessslon of a newly elected Re¬ publican Coogress to save the coun¬ try from disaster and to avert one of the greatest financial maelstroms, any nation has ever seen. A COW AND A CALF. Mary Martin, white, charged with stealing a cow was tried in the Hen- rlco County Court Wednesday, Jan¬ uary 23,1895, and sentenced to one monta In jail and fined $5.00. She had been guilty of stealing a cow before. Henry Johnson, colored,] who stole a calf, was tried In the same court about twelve weeks ago, found guilty, and hts punishment ascer¬ tained at five years tn the Virginia penitentiary. Van Perkins, colored, charged with assaulting two white girls, was on Friday, January 18th, tried. The uncles of the two girls testi¬ fied that Perkins was with them at the time the offence was alleged to have been committed. A jory (of white men deliberately brought in a verdict of guilty and ascertained bis punishment at one year In jail. These are samples of j astico aa ad¬ ministered tn the courts of this lo¬ cality. It should not be forgotten that Richmond etty is in Henrico County aud the court.house referred to is within the confines of this municipal¬ ity. A white woman ls given a month In jail for stealing a cow and theodor ed man five years tn the penitentiary for stealing a calf. It ts to be pre¬ sumed that had he stolen the cow and the age of the animal In any wise trebled or quadrupled that of the calf the colored man would have received a virtual life-sen tance for doing the very thing for which a white person receives one month tn jail. The Van Perkins case is one of the most flagrant we have yet been called upon to chronicle. The question of altbt amounts to noshing to these jurors. Here is a practical demonetrat ion of th* theory which we have more than.OLce referred to. 'There are hun¬ dreds of whita men who believe that when an offence has been committed by a Negro, some other Negro should be made to softer for lt. A more pernicious doctrine could not be conceived, a more unjust visi¬ tation of the law could not bo prac- ced. being in the midst of such these that cause us to won- we are to submit to nd be silent in the lon. toland aro bo 1.1.1-¦-.¦.. lng enacted scenes of similar charac¬ ter, and Ethiopia ls stretching forth her hands unto God for deliverance and appealing to tho liberal mind¬ ed white men for oympathy. A chango most como, unrighteous decisions must be rebuked, and tho agitation kept op until justice to oc¬ cured for our down trodden people. Cough ! Cough ! !

President Cleveland ls sadly Inneed of a Secretary of the Treasury,bat Mr. Carlisle doesn't seem toknow lt.

Every one should Impress uponhis neighbor the necessity of sup¬porting race journals. If we can In¬crease the circulation, we can im¬prove the appearance of our publi¬cations.

THE GREAT BROOKLYN STRIKE.

The great Brooklyn Street-CarStrike ia about ended, and the com¬pany won, aa must have boon appar¬ent from the first that it would do.

Ito victory, however has been cost¬ly, and the lesson taught on bothsides should tend to show all partiesthe necessity for conservatism andtho settlement of affairs of this kindby arbitration.The company was unwilling to do

this, and as a result lost thousandsof dollars, which will aggregatemore money than tho increase ofwages In question amounted to.The strikers are heavy losers. Be¬sides the consequent loss of life, theyIn common with the people of NewYork state must bear tho expenseentailed In the transportation andmaintenance of troops in the riotousdistrict.The decision of Judge Gaynor that

tbe companies owe a duty to tbepublic first and the stockholders af¬terwards and accordingly must op¬erate their lines and furnish the ser¬vice required under their charters isgood law. He asserted that thesecompanies muet secure tbe labornecessary for the ful Oiling of theircontracts with the city, even thoughthey have to pay more for lt.

If they saw fit to get cheaper la¬bor, they could do so, but not to thedetriment of tho service guaranteedthe public. On the other hand, thecity and state are under obligationsto afford protection and see to ltthat the companies are not prevent¬ed from carrying out the stipula¬tions In their charters by lawlessparties.We cannot understand how the

striking motor-men and conductorscould hope to win in the face of thefinancial depression and universalpoverty ezlrtlng throughout thecountry. Able-bodied men in othersections were on the verge of starva¬tion and the companies knew it.The terms offered were so much In

excess of the nothing which theywere receiving that they were readyto risk life and limb In order to se¬cure it. It will be a long time in tbefuture before the line between capitaland labor will be properly defined.One of the leaders of the strike de¬

clared that the government owner¬ship of the railway lines would be theonly proper solution of the problem.The doctrine is to an extent socialis¬tic and yet we doubt not, but whatduring the next generation somesuch plan may be put on foot whichwill lead to the operation of theroads upon the same principle thatthe post-office department ls han¬dled.This can only come, however, by

legislation of such a character as tomake the operation of the manylines unprofitable to the capitalistswho will hasten to sell out to thegovernment rather than Buffer fur¬ther loos.

RICHARD BROWN'S STATEMENT.The plain, straight forward state¬

ment of Richard Bbown, relative tothe treatment accorded him both byhis employer and the courts hasawakened much interest and causedpositive expressions of sympathy.Here ls a colored man who had earned $3.33 for the week.. His employer,Charles H. Page paye him fl 33,an amount which ls insignlficent.He retains $2.00 to pay on a finethat he presumed would be Imposedupon him [Page] either for runningan unlicensed cart upon the streetsor over-loading a mule.Richard Bbown demanded the

money which Charles H. Page un¬

lawfully withheld and upon his refus¬al to give him the same threatenedhim. Page becomes frightened andpays him the money, and then after,as Brown alleges chasing him aequare with a gun goes and securesa warrant for the arrest of Bbown,charging him with having felonious¬ly secured from him by threat themoney referred to.Bbown did not strike Page. The

latter does not even claim that hedid, bat a jory after hearing thefacts In the case finds him guilty andascertains his punishment at fiveybabs in the penitentiary. Brown'scounsel moves for a new trial andJudos Witt seta aside the ver¬dict. Consternation seizes the whitecounsel for the accused and heagrees to a verdict of "assault andbattery."Now as to where the assault took

place or who "got the battery" lsthe most interesting question. Suf¬fice lt to say that upon such a mis¬leading plea and Indictment. Bbown¦/as sentenced to one year in jail andto-day gft&ea through, the bars otthe prison, a monui the dis¬regard of law and tbe visitations ofInjustice. If Chas. H. Page had agun and chased Richard Brown,was he not guilty of oven a moreheinous offense than that with whichthe latter stood charged?

uninterrupted, transacting his bu*lneao while Bbown lo con floed In thecity jail. Moreover, there io no re¬cord that Charles H. Page hasboen punished for running an un¬licensed wagon upon the streets.There is no record that a warranthas been sworn out for his arrast,although lt is now known that hohad no such license upon the wagonwhich Brown drove.Charles H. Page did unlawfully

pursue one Richabd Bbown with a

gun for the purpose of killing himHas any such charge been preferredagainst him, and If so has he boonpunished? Bbown should not hovethreatened Mb. Paoe, but tho latterhad the former's money and wouldnot give lt to him. Would not anyman have acted just aa Bbown did ?If lt was unlawful for Bbown to de¬mand his money under threat, wasit not wrong for Page to retain itwithout due process of law?We maintain that every official in

this state is In honor bound to re¬

cognize the civil and political equal¬ity of all men before the law. Iodealing with a whlto man and acolored one they muet treat thetwo just as they would two whitemen or two colored ones whenthe aforesaid gentlemen come tothem with conflicting Interests. Itwon't do to say gentlemen that heis a "nigger."

It your prfjodiceo will not allowyou to administer justice impartial¬ly, far better will lt be for j ou now,and your souls in the hereafter thatyou resign the office or decline toaccept a position which causes youto live a lie and to practice perjory.We aver that severity In dealingwith a Negro and leaning tn dealingwith a white man ls In direct antag¬onism with the oath of office and tnviolation of the guarantees of theBill ot Rights of Virginia. No Chris¬tian should be guilty of such con¬duct; no unbeliever, should laborjuider such a monument of dishonor.Tynch-law must go!

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.President Cleveland's message

upon the financial situation con¬tributes nothing new to the public,but tends to emphasize a conditionwhich Democratic .imbecility hasmade possible.The abandonment of the financial

scheme of bis Secretary of the Treas¬ury, John G. Carlisle was in keep¬ing wita what was to be expected.Helios placed the financial depart¬

ment of hts administration in thor¬oughly incompetent hands and henow comes forward with suggestionswhich will be taboed byparty associates and regard¬ed with indifference by the Republi¬cans.The country is slowly, but surely

drifting to another financial parlc,and values of commodities as wellas money will be unsettled.

The result of this will betha remarkable spectacle of aDemocratic President calling anextra sessslon of a newly elected Re¬publican Coogress to save the coun¬try from disaster and to avert oneof the greatest financial maelstroms,any nation has ever seen.

A COW AND A CALF.

Mary Martin, white, charged withstealing a cow was tried in the Hen-rlco County Court Wednesday, Jan¬uary 23,1895, and sentenced to onemonta In jail and fined $5.00.She had been guilty of stealing a

cow before.Henry Johnson, colored,] who

stole a calf, was tried In the samecourt about twelve weeks ago, foundguilty, and hts punishment ascer¬tained at five years tn the Virginiapenitentiary.Van Perkins, colored, chargedwith assaulting two white girls, was

on Friday, January 18th, tried.The uncles of the two girls testi¬

fied that Perkins was with them atthe time the offence was alleged tohave been committed.A jory (of white men deliberately

brought in a verdict of guilty andascertained bis punishment at oneyear In jail.These are samples of j astico aa ad¬

ministered tn the courts of this lo¬cality.It should not be forgotten that

Richmond etty is in Henrico Countyaud the court.house referred to iswithin the confines of this municipal¬ity.A white woman ls given a month

In jail for stealingacow and theodored man five years tn the penitentiaryfor stealing a calf. It ts to be pre¬sumed that had he stolen the cowand the age of the animal Inany wise trebled or quadrupled thatof the calf the colored man wouldhave received a virtual life-sen tancefor doing the very thing for which awhite person receives one month tnjail.The Van Perkins case is one of the

most flagrant we have yet beencalled upon to chronicle.The question of altbt amounts to

noshing to these jurors.Here is a practical demonetration

of th* theory which we have morethan.OLce referred to. 'There are hun¬dreds of whita men who believe thatwhen an offence has been committedby a Negro, some other Negroshould be made to softer for lt.A more pernicious doctrine could

not be conceived, a more unjust visi¬tation of the law could not bo prac-ced.
