" House Bills, No. 369 and 629 will supplement the civil rights and anti- Jynching laws of our grand old state, and it behooves every loyal citizen and friend of good government to urge the passage of these bills. Is there #@ man, woman or:child that does not desire the well being of Ohio; is there a person who feels the care of home, who fondly Joves the growing institutions of his state, whose hopes are big for the future, who does not desire to shield his own loved land from lawlessness and mob-violence? It is a matter of duty that every in- telligent and well-informed individ- ual, sharing the fostering care of our great) commonwealth, should contri- bute his best means and infiuence to its support. We owe it to ourselves and to our posterity to strengthen the laws and every means of protec- tion that life and liberty may be made secure to the humblest as well as to the strongest. Shall we over- Jook the fact, that though we may enjoy a temporary protection, yet no man is safe in his person and liberty so long as the laws are threatened and disregarded. And though the strong and the influential may con- tent themselves that it is well with tuem, we ask is there a citizen whose aoul is so little and mean as to enjoy ‘any repose of mind while ke knows that a single man of Ohio has been ‘wronged of his just rights under the Insws. A moment's reflection ought to remind us of the fearful and dis- astrous consequences wiich must be- fali any people neglectful of their first duty to'the state. We live not dor ourselves alone; but for the mil- ions who shall come after us. Lynch dew and its kindred crimes have dar- kkened the fair name of all south Jand and rendered it a hiss and a by- word before enlightened mankind. ‘The south in humiliation and shame gioats in the wanton drunkenness of ‘erime that has stained the record of m= great and powerrul nation. It has flaunted its shame in the face of the ‘northern people and flung defiance in the teeth of the national government. hic has felt the touch of this blast- fing humiliation and in conscious pride asks and demands the rerents ‘and support of every good person to ‘tay the hand of violence and law- Jessness and rescue her name from a arbarism which today has entailed Srreparable mischief and disgrace up- om ihe entire country. As in the past Ohio hes led the van and has in patriotic pride braved opposition for the righteousness of its canse, a0 4et her true and loyal sons and 7 bend their best energies THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1900. may become laws and the nation’s best heritage in helping to stamp out the worst infamy that has ever yet disgraced a people. Yes! Talld about bills 369 and 629, talk about them to your neighbors, talk about them in high and low places. Tell them that the bills involve the cause of the people. Call your meetings and ask your legislators to vote for House bills, No. 369 and 629. Ohio expects every man to do his duty, it pleads with every loving mother and fond father, to lend their voice and sanction to this cause. Your government and your country demand your earnest and untiring co-operation, and only the most in- different and careless will disregard this sacred and imperative duty. Cen- turies are but a day with the Al- mighty and every passing moment only brings us nearer the time when either by neglect or the performance of a righteous duty, we shall realize the fruits of our labor. Let us press the battle and labor on for liberty and law, for humanity and God. . Right knowing is not doing; but right knowing with right doing is the object and end of every growing interest. In some respects our peo- ple have been as clay in the hands ut the potter, allowing others to do our thinking and our choosing. But ow- ing to our adverse circumstances we are confronted with unequal condi- tions and we must bring to ourselves materialism to balance accounts and restore the equation. In other words ‘we must advance on new lines. We must progress. We niust think more, do more, and waste less. Inertia is death, We must break away from the traditions of the past and do that which is wise and necessary for our- selves and the best interest of all con- cerned. Men attain distinction only when they break away from hoary traditions and master conditions which lead to necessary innovations. Wyoming and Lockland, 0..

Zion and Baptist churches of the city of Cleveland have heard that the Rey. 8, C. Morris is about leaving the An- tioch Baptist church and we cannot allow him to go from our midst without some expression of the sen- timents we hold concerning him. We unhesitatingly say that this city has never been favored with a colored minister more thoroughly equipped for his high calling than the Rev. S. &. Morris. He has been in this city for about a year and has added much strength to our ministerial ranks, and by personal contact with him privately and publicly we have found him nothing less than a straight for- ward Christian gentleman and minis- ter and have therefore learned to re- spect and love him. As a scholar, Rev. 8. C. Morris is of a high order, ® profound thinker, and reasoner, As an expounder and preacher of the Gospel, he is certainly one of the best some of us have ever heard. His is a réal teaching ministry and as a public speaker he is not easily ex- ¢elled—a man that ranks in the first order"for eloquence, depth of thought and logical clearness. His leaving this city will be a standing record of the greatest mistake of his church and we will, as citizens, be losing an ideal man of our race. A man strong intellectually, morally, and religious- ly a man able to lift up the race to a higher intellectual moral and religi- ous standard. We need such a man in this city. We still hope that he will not feel forced to leave us just now, but should he really go away, we sincerely hope he will accept this as a public expression of our good wishes for his future welfare, and of our confidence in him as a Christian and a brother in the ministry of our common Lord. We desire a copy of the above sent to Rev. 8. C. Morris. Rev. E. D. Dandridge. Rev. Chas. Bundy. Rev. E. J. Carter. | Rev, W. M. Langford. SHE GAVE $65,090.

The Blind Black Samson still has this broad shoulders against ‘the pillars of ‘the state—Lexington (Ky.) Standard. Secretary L. G. Jordan has issued an appeal in behalf of the Foreign Mission Board of the National Bap- tist convention, calling upon all Ne- gro Baptist, churehes, Sunday schools, Young People’s socieities and Women's Missionary societies to unite in a ser- vice in April to raise money for their workers in Africa. He says: “In four years we have gathered around us Ithirty-five churches, fourteen day schools, three industrial schools, fifty native workers and 2,100 members in Africa. Im Cuba we have a growing school and now comes @ plea that we take under our protecting wing a struggling work in British Guiana, South America,” A large number of thrifty farmers among our people are leaving the state bound for various places. ‘They are determined to do this on account of the lawless element in, the state and the manner in which a. large num- ber of them have been dealt with; not only inhumanly, but much advantage thas been taken of them in business transactions which they have been powerless to resent. On account of this ill treatment and undue advan- tage the state is losing a largé per cent. of tthe mecessary adjunct to its agricultyral prosperity and will be the means undoubtedly of causing some farmers to raise short crops and oitiher- wise hurting the state. The colored citizens of the rural districts will con- tinue leaving the state until they are treated in a becoming manner.—Sav- annah (Ga.) Tribune. In Anderson, S. €., Mr. David Dooly, a blacksmith,—and perhaps, the weal- thiest colored man of the town—has just completed a new hall. It is a substantial brick building, two stories high. The lower story is used as a blacksmith shop, and ‘the one above as a hall. ‘The colored people of \the town naw have a decent place where they can have their entertainments. Hon. John Knight, the som of slave parents on a cotiton plantation in Louisiana, has made a colossal fortune out of bananas. Freed by the war of 1862-65, he migrated south to Gaute- mala, where he found a fortune by starting a farm on which he grew bananas and the costly vanilla bean, He now owns vast tracts of coffee, co- coa plantations, gold mines, a bank and a line of steamers, and lives in a handsome villa just outside the capi- tal. The legislature ‘has passed a bill to gemove the remains of Hon. James neh, colored, ex-secretary of the state, from the white cemetery of Jackson, Miss. Lynch’s remains are resting in that part of Jackson ceme- tery owned by the aristocratic whites. ‘The monument erected by the state to his memory is one of the most. mag- nifieent in the cemetery. Although the remains of over one thousand Ne- groes are resting in various parts of this cemetery, those of Lynch alone are singled out to be removed. The poorer whites must be content to bury their dead near the remains of Ne- groes, but the legislature comes to the relief of the rich aristocratic whites and orders the removal of the remains of one prominent colored man_ from the cemetery. The remains of poor whites and Negroes in Jackson's white cemetery can moulder in the dust side ‘by side together.—Vieksburg (Miss.) Licht. THE REAL THING!

Mr. Coleridge Taylor to-night elected to conduct in person, which, perhaps, was rather a bold undertak- ing, considering that he could have had comparatively few opportunities of directing so large a body of voices. The general performance suffered in consequence, and, moreover, more re- hearsals were apparently necessary. The important baritone part, which contains, indeed, the whole of Hia- watha’s words, was entrusted to Mr. Andrew Black, who gave a very fine reading of the “Farewell” and other portions of the music. On the other hand, the voice of neither Miss Blau- velt, the soprano, nor of Mr. Mock- ridge, the tenor, was strong enough for the Albert Hall. The cantata was, however, favorably, and the end of each part even enthusiastically, re- ceived. If the soprano, Miss Blauvelt, and the tenor, Mr. Mockridge, both of whom, if memory serves me correct- ly are Americans, were in this coun- try and were required to take the parts in Mr. Taylor's compositions ‘they take in London and under the direction of a colored man. it is amusing as well as disgusting to imagine what might be the result be- cause there is little doubt but that they would give in to American pre- judice, governing themselves accord- ingly. House Bill, No, 369, which amends and strengthens our Ohio Anti-Lyn- ching Law, and H. B., No. 629, which amends and strengthens our Ohio Civil Rights Law, are on the house calendar for third reading and will come up for passage possibly before this letter is published and reach the senate for consideration next week, If our people are to do anything at all in behalf of the passage of the above mentioned bills, they must do it quickly, becanse but a week or ten days remain before the assembly will adjourn. Only a few of our people have indicated the material interest in this measure that all should, and it is high time that thousands of them were calling upon and writing their members of the legislature, par- ticulariy their state senators. If we would have the protection to our life, property and rights that we are entitled to under the Lnited States and state constituuons we must in- uicate more interest in what is being sought to be accomplished as a re- sult of House Bills 369 and 629, Please act promptly—call upon or write your represeatatives and state senators at once, 1c. 8 STATE NEWS.

It was a mock trial and ten cents admission was charged, the proceeds going to the town cemetery improvement fund. In the town of Ensley, Ala., eighteen months ago there were 500 people.

Creamer, one of the municipality's largest and most prosperous mixed farmers. Mr. Creamer came to this country in 1880 and settled on a portion of the land which comprises his present enormous farm of 1,280 acres. In common with many others of a similar period he experienced all the hardships and difficulties common to the absence of railway and market facilities. In no wise daunted, by energy, industry and indomitable will he has been able to surmount all obstacles and has achieved an unparalleled success, and is known throughout the district as one of its preeminent farmers. His operations extend over 1,280 acres, two sections (the thought alone of so much land makes the eastern farmer dizzy); 800 acres of this is broken and the remainder is excellent pasture land and wood. This harvest he took off a crop of 500 acres of wheat and 200 of other grains. Four hundred acres are plowed and ready for wheat next spring. Mr. Creamer is, as has been stated, a mixed farmer of no mean proportions, having at the present time 40 horses, 60 head of cattle and 50 pigs. The most modern farm buildings are found on his premises, the main building being a barn 55 feet square on a stone foundation containing stabling for 16 horses and a large number of cattle. The loft is stored with 29 loads of sheaf oats for feed and tons of hay; there is also a cutting box. Another building of large dimensions is the granary, in which after teaming large quantities to market he still has stored 3,000 bushels of wheat. A crushing machine is in the building. There are a number of lesser buildings containing chicken house, pig pens and cattle sheds. The farm residence is a handsome frame structure of ample proportions, in connection with it is a wood shed. The water supply is unexcelled; besides house supply there is a well in the stables and a never falling spring situate in a bluff, which never freezes. Surrounded by a thick bluff of poplars, extending in a semi circle to the west, north and east, the winter storms are broken and accumulation of snow unknown. Added to his farming operations, Mr. Creamer conducts a threshing outfit for the season. His success is only one instance of what can be accomplished in Western Canada.—Baldur (Man.) Gazette, Nov. 16th, 1899. Thousands are going to Western Canada this year to take advantage of the free homestead laws that are being offered by the government. A Bit Rough.

This young fellow is engaged to a pretty Detroit girl, but they don't care to publish the bans until after Lent. This disturbs an irascible old uncle of hers, who has a daughter of his own, too much after his own style to be a favorite. He took it upon himself to send for the young man the other day. "Are you going to marry that niece of mine?" he asked, sternly, when they were alone in the inner office. "Pardon me, sir, but I must decline to answer. She has a father and a mother, and I'm on good terms with them. I fail to see that it is your affair." "There's a whole lot that you fail to see. young man. I'm really the head of our family, and I'll not shirk my duty. Her parents are a couple of chumps. Are you or are you not engaged?" "You force me to say, sir, that it is none of your infernal business and that you are just what I heard you were, a sour, cross-grained old curmudgeon." "See here, sonny, I'll not bandy words with the likes of you, but if you had been going with my daughter as long as you have my niece, I wouldn't do a thing but put a revolver to your head, informing you that if you didn't marry her I'd shoot."

Kalsomines are cheap and temporary preparation, manufactured from whiting, chalks, clays, etc. They are stuck on the walls with decaying animal glue. Alabastine is not a kalsomine. It is a rock-base cement, which sets, and it hardens with age. It can be re-coated and redecorated without having to wash and scrape off its old coats. Alabastine is utilized to a great extent in hospitals, as it prevents the accumulation of dirt and the congregating of disease germs, being disinfectant in its nature. ```markdown ``` PERUNA PROTECTS OUR HOMES.

Walker, Carneiro, Kansas, writes: "It is with pleasure that I report that I am better than I have been for many years. I believe Peruna is without a doubt the best medicine that ever was used in a family. It has cured my nervousness, with which I have been afflicted for a great number of years." "Our boy, James, had the membranous croup, and repeated attacks of lung fever. Our boy, Charlie, was also subject to repeated attacks of pneumonia and pleurisy. Our third boy, John, was subject to fever and ague (malarial) and liver trouble. Your remedy, Peruna, cured my boys entirely, and now I have three of the healthiest boys in the State of Nebraska, which I attribute to your medicine. My wife had a stomach trouble which Peruna also cured. Altogether for my whole family we have used nineteen bottles of Peruna, and have thus saved $500 in doctors' bills.

G. Walker, Carneiro, Kansas, writes: "It is with pleasure that I report that I am better than I have been for many years. I believe Peruna is without a doubt the best medicine that ever was used in a family. It has cured my nervousness, with which I have been afflicted for a great number of years." It is a fact of ever-increasing astonishment that so many otherwise sensible and provident people will, for the neglect of so simple a precaution as to have a bottle of Peruna at hand, bring upon themselves the needless suffering and foolish expense that a practitioner of medicine is forced to witness every day. As soon as the value of Peruna is fully preciated by every household, both as a preventive and cure of these affections, tens of thousands of lives will be saved, and hundreds of thousands of chronic, lingering cases of disease prevented. Peruna is the household safeguard. A complete work on chronic catarrh sent free to any address by the Peruna Medicina Company, Columbus, Ohio.
