C., SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1886, WASHINGTON COLORED SO- CIETY. HOW THEY DISCRIMINATE. WHY SOME DO NOT RECEIVE NEW YEAK’S DAY., THE SUPPOSED MONEYED PEOPLE, Washington being a cosmopoli- tan city and the citizens being con- genial, all newcomers of any noto- riety are admitted to the social circle. People in good standing from the states, are often surprised on arriving in the city to find some folks, trom the sates: r townin which they live who are notanything at home, taking the lead in the col- ored society. The persons who are attempting to rnn society would no doubt like to establish a blue vein society in this city as a cer- tain class had in certain parts ot Ohio. The white people of superi or intelligence condemn this class of Negroes. Social entertainments given by the better class of colored people in this city are cosmopoli- tan in their character, except a narrow contracted class whose pre- judices are greater than their in- telligence. The Monday night lit- erary is a cast organization. There is more intelligence excluded than there isin the association. Some few doctors who belong toit, re- ceive their support from the poorer class of Negroes. There. are a few holding clerkships who belong to the Monday night literary. Mes- sengers, watchmen and laborers are excluded. It is on the order of the Lotus club. An amusing incident happened one time at one of the meetings of this club, which is very ludicrous A gentleman, who has a white la- y for his wife and a doctor by pro- on, escorted a lady to one of these meetings and he says that he was insulted by the host because he asked for cream the second time. There are a few who will sam nas on New Year's day, have no desire to meet a few objec- tionable upstarts. There is anoth- er class that society has made fools of and avother that has made a tool of society. Parties, card par- ties and receptions are often given by some to gain admission to socie- ty. Another class of people are made to believe that, unless a per- gon is always invited out heis not of a society ¢ This is often among the more ignorant class of the Washington society or a class that has been admitted to the social cir- cle by sufferance. DRESS is a great object among a certain class. This class will dress if they have to go without eating. The greatest fuss and empty show will be found among that class of peo- ple who claim superiority over an- other class and who come from the lowest elements ot society. It is this class that does so much dis- crimination, it is this class that has caused so many social scan - dals. Ex-register B, K. BRUCE never was the man to practice dis- crimination. He is genefous toa fault. He isa man of honor and not one to forget his friends. All classes were weleomed by Mr. and Mrs. Bruce, while he was Senator afterwhich Register of the Treas ury. Mr. Bruce has the respect and confidence of all classes of peo- ple. He is respected wherever he goes. Mr. and Mrs. OHARA are very quiet, they crave less for social netoriety than any of our representative class.. Mrs. O°Ha a has a very gentl- dispo ition and a lady of force and character. Tue supposed moneyed men are, Recorder Douglass, Worm’ey broth- ers, Wm, Syphax, Richard Fran- cis, John and Geo. Cook, R. J. Col- ling and many others. Mr. John A. Gray has been a very liberal man iv his times. He kept one of the finest houses in the city. * He first opened it for white people and was having a success until the Ne groes kept clamoring for a respect- able place to go. He opened his house to the hgh toned colored people and less than a year they broke bim up. WE HOPE NOT. Report says that Mr. SP, Rounds has parchased the Oma- ha Republican newspaper and job because they jr states that Mr, Rounds will prob-| ably resign the office of Public) Printer in a few days. Let us hope so.-—Frree Press. | eC A | CLARA TO LOUISE. | Dear Lou:—I have been sick | for the last week, so much so, tizat | I have been unable to write you. | The girls are very uneasy as to} wis the trustees of the schools; will be.

The fight is very interesting and I ain of the opinion that ove or the otier will weaken before many days. Mr. Nalle is a determined young man and one who will com, el all pariies to respect him. Mr. Johnson and Maj. Fleetwocd are quiet, but very cunving work- eis. Thcy are hard tobeat. Mr. kkobt. Tompkins doesn’t say a word, but works very hard to have success.

[SPECIAL To THE WORLD.] Jackson, Miss., July 24.—Tne WortD correspondent was told last night by one negro man that he was visited in May last by m:sked men at night, his door broken in, dragged out and whip- ped, and in prcof of his statement he bared his back, which showed several ugly.scars. He suid that he knew only two of the parties, whose names he gave to the sher iff, who was present. He said that the “regulators,” or Ka-Klax, toid him that they were whipping him and the other negries, too, because they believed that the ne- groes were concealing and_har- boring a negro named Henry betore shot a white man named Dink Rush, and had made his es- caje. This negro with the s arred back said that he left as soon us he could and would never return to that scetion again. The negroes are leaving as fast as they ein slip away. Many crops have been abandoned beeause of the flight ot the negroes, ne labor remuining to work them.
