“I recognize the usefulness of those schools, but I insist that they are entirely inadequate, as any number of them would be, to accomplish what is desired. The Hampton and Carlisle schools no more meet the exigency than Yale and Harvard supply education to the youth of the whole United States. There are 50,000 Indian children. We must furnish means for their education. Hampton and Carlisle will do for the training of teachers. But we must get the schools, which are to educate the masses of Indian children, out nearer to the tribes.” This is our view, exactly. Use these and similar institutions at the South for training the young people brought to them from the Indian country to become teachers and mechanics. Then let them go back to their people and serve as teachers of the home schools and leaders in the mechanic arts. THE reports from our schools have crowded our limited pages for the last two months, and have compelled us to leave over a number of articles which will be found in the pages of this number. Our readers will agree with us that these articles contained so much of spice that they have not become mouldy by the delay. We wish, however, to notify our teachers and missionaries that we desire as speedily as possible the renewed use of their pens. Nothing, however good, can be a substitute for their fresh views and facts. * * * * * CASTE ON THE CARS. Our new-made fellow-citizens at the South are coming to such consciousness of their civil and political rights as leads them to demand the protection of law. The Cincinnati Southern Railway has recently paid a fine of $1,000 for putting a colored man who had a first-class ticket into a second-class car. The Atlanta & West Point Railroad, for a similar offence, has been compelled to pay a fine of $400. The Georgia Railroad, having been sued, thought it best not to stand a trial, and paid $700 to a colored young woman who was put off its train because she was in a first-class car with a first-class ticket. At Nashville two or three suits have been entered in the same line. Bishop Payne, as is well known, having been put off from a Florida road, is seeking legal redress. Bishop Cain, also of the African M. E. Church, having purchased a first-class ticket on the Sunset route, in Texas, was about to enter the car to which his ticket authorized him to go. Some white people who were also getting aboard said that they would not go if the black man should take a seat in that car. He then entered the parlor car, paying the extra dollar for his seat, and now has sued the company for $20,000.
