We sincerely trust that wthey will do so promptly without waiting longer. Does this mean you, reader? The “colored republican brother” seems to be getting the “hinky- dink” in nearly.all of the republi- can state conventions held through- out the country. It seems worse than ever before. Is this a new re- publican dispensation? Booker T. Washington seems to be the only Afro-American who expects amy goed to accrue to the race as a result of alleged “race” conferences, such as was held in Montgomery, Ala., recently by prominent white enemies of the race and a few alleged white friends from the north. eee Senator Pritchard, of North Caro- lina, secured the appointment of ex- Congressman Henry T. Cheatham as recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia. Recently, he turned down the latter and all other colored men of his state who were aspiring to be elected delegates-at-large to the next ational republican convention, Con- gressman White. managed to “slip through” as a district delegate. Our esteemed confrere, Editor J. R. Clifford, of the Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press, “calls the turn” on our friend, Editor T. Thomas For- tune, of the New York Age, for “roasting” and praising Gov. Roose- yelt and President McKinley, on al- ternate weeks, and says ds a result he “is somewhat surprised.” So are we, The fact is, we have spent con- siderable time trying to find out what it means. It is “up to you,” Brother Timothy. ees That brave Afro-American soldier, Sergeant-Major Presly Holliday, of the Tenth cavalry, stationed at Man- zanilla, Cuba, gave Gov. Roosevelt a mighty “punch in the face” in a re- cent and second communication which completely wipes out the lat- ter’s Scribner Magazine charge of cowardice directed against the col- ored troops that fought in Cuba dur- ing the Spanish-American war. It is about time the colonel was retract- ing and apologizing. ‘The Atlanta Constitution, the lead- ing daily in the south, says the whites of that section outnumber the blacks “four to one.” And yet that paper and others yell “Negro Domi- mation,” whenever they wish to ar- ray about all of their prejudiced kind of the south under one banner for political and other purposes. How ridiculous the “Negro Domina- tion” bugaboo and how large the number of ignorant and credulous whites of that section! _—_—_—— The five bishops elected last week by the A. M. E. general conference are.men of education, ability and race loyalty. The church, as ‘well as the bishops-elect are to be congrat- ulated. They are all strong men, physically and mentally. The death of Key. R. M. Cheeks, editor of the Southern Christian Recorder, _re- moves one of the church workers who was a positive character and will east a gloom upon the remainder of the conference. The treatment the Afro-.\merican voters of Congressman B. B. Doven- er’s district of West Virginia have received for a year past at his hands and those of the other federal office- holders is simply outrageous. How- ever, it is but little worse than that received by Afro-American voters of the state of Ohio and its various congressional districts. There is only one remedy for all this and the @ooner our people are driven to re- wort to it, the quicker will the change come. There surely are enough Afro-American republicans $a Capt. Dovener's district to secure ihis defeat, and they ought to see to it that this result 1s obtained unless the acquiesces in’ their demands be- dare the day, of election, Such men as Dr. Stillyard, Messrs. Robert €lark, Stanley Barnett and Scott Taylor ought not to hesitate to lead eur people of Wheeling, if others of the race fajl to do so. % i said that Bishop Alexander Walters v4il not stand for the pres- ideney of the National Afro-Ameri- ean council at its next meeting. in Indianapolis in August, and that he will undertake to dictate the nomina- tion of his successor. ,We cannot be- Mieve that the good bishop intends to tsy to do amything of the kind for seseral good reasons, among them ‘eing the fact that’sueh action upon his pert would be trespassing upon good treatment accorded him, and secondly, that nothing would so quickly yuin the prospects of that splendid orgavization as the nomina- tion and election of a politician to the presidency. Congressman White may be just the man for the place in the estimation of Bishop Walters and others, but there are those who feel that he is too deeply imbedded in Politics for such a position. The president of the council should be a man who is above political influence. There are over thirty Catholic priests laboring exclusively among Afro-Americans and they have over one hundred and ten schools. Catho- lie Afro-Americans are bunched in Maryland, Louisiana and Kentucky. The only Rational collection of the Catholic church in the United States is taken up yearly for the benefit of Afro-Americans.: The cardinal of Baltimore and archbishops of St. Louis and Philadelphia form a com- mittee to whom is entrusted this col- lection for distribution. So -says Father Slattery, a prominent priest of the church and educator of Afro- American youths, Catholics. He re- cently purchased for his church a large tract of land near Montgomery, Ala., upon which will be erected an- other school for the young men of the race, members of the Catholic church, who desire to become priests, teachers, ete. This is carrying the work “into Africa,” so to speak, and ought to open the half-closed eyes of some of our Protestant church con- nections (white). There is one thing about education received in Catholic institutions the race does not thor- oughly appreciate, and that is that respeet for American prejudice is not taught in them. This is too of- ten the case in Protestant institu- tions of learning for our people pre- sided over by whites. @Rev. Slatters made a good speech at the Montgom ery, Alas, conference. He was almost alone in this, too. A JOB NOBODY WANTS. The following from the editorial columns of the Vicksburg (Miss.) Light, is pertinent: “The northern Negro newspapers just now are writing columns of “hot stuif” about George A. Myers, of Ohio, being elected an alternate dele- gate to the Philadelphia republican convention. Why, boys, that's a job down this way which nobody wants. We strike higher up.”—Dallas, Tex., Express, Only one or two “tom tom” beat- ers, in the shape of “northern Negro newspapers” (alleged), are guilty as charged in the above excerpt from our esteemed contemporary, the Dal- las Express. The only Negro in all Ohio a candidate for the empty honor was Myers. Others at the con- vention contended for the election of one of our people as a delegate-at- large and refused the alternateship only Myers wanted. It is the old story over again. White men can al- ways find a Negro to take what the race does not want and that which will enable'them to turn down with some little show of respect our true leaders who contend for what the race is entitled to and refuse any- thing less. This was the case at the reeent Ohio republican convention. Hon. W. R. Stewart and the writer and all others but Myers refused to stand for the empty honor of alter- nate-at-large when asked to do so by persons representing the “powers that be,” and steadfastly contended for SOMETHING. Our confreres will therefore state the case as it is. The Afro-American republicans of Ohio have been accorded worse treatment since 1896 in the matter of representation in all matters and places political, of a*state and na- tional character, than ever before in their history when Ohioans were in control of the national administra- tion. This is the truth, The very idea of that fellow Myers being placed in any political position of a representative nature, is insulting and almost revolting to Ohio’ Afro- Americans who are true and loyal ‘to the race, and its civil rights and privileges. This is another feason why that alternateship-at-large is such an aggravating and festering sore with Ohio republicans of color. Here in Ohio, confreres, we also “strike higher up,” or at least try to. A NORTHERN “DOUGH-FACE.” Bourke Cockran, of New York City, said in his Montgomery, Ala., speech that where the public sentiment of a state favored it, as is true in all southern states, there should be a greater penalty for an Afro-Ameri- cun’s raping a white woman than for a white man’s raping a white or col- ored woman. He referred to this as a “differentiation which the consci- ence of the state (southern) de- mands.” His use of the word “tcon- science” in that sentence is q libel upon the word, He should have used the word “prejudice.” Bourke was certainly “playing to the galleries” in that Montgomery speech. He was toadying to the south-—bending double like an acrobat before south- ern race prejudice. He is a blatant northern demagogue of the most dangerous kind, as far as our people are concerned: He ulso said: “They (the southern people) have succeeded in nullifying this provi- sion (the fifteenth amendment) by the upproval and support of the opinion of the country, They would not have nullified it without it.” Judging from the failure of one re- publican administration after an- other to enforce the provisions of the fifteenth amendu.nt, even in “fed- eral” elections wherever nullified at the sonth, Cockran but speaks the truth. We have had only two demo- eratic national administrations of four years cach since the close of the war and therefore the failure re- ferred to can be placed at no other door than that of the party whose ofticiais for nearly thirty years have held the reigns aud power of federal government. Cockran’s expression “the opinion of the country” means what it implies, and it is exemplified in the failure of national adminis- trations, for more than a score of years, to carry out the provisions of the amendment referred to, at. the THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 26, 1900. south, even in federal alections. The question therefore is, what are the Afro-American voters going to do to compe! the republican party to, cre- ate ‘the public opinion that’ will awaken its federal officials, both leg- islative and executive, and compel action that will stop the nullifica- tion to which Bourke refers? It cer- tainly is “up to” the Afro-American republican with a vengeance. If any considerable number of white voters were being thus disfranchised and the point was raised and flaunted in the face of the country as the nulli- fication Cockran speaks of and oth- ers called attention to repeatedly every year, something, would be be done. Both parties would be alive to the importance of action. Practically, only “niggers” are dis- franchised at the south, while the de- moeracy that does the “nullifying” laughs, and the republicans of the country refuse to recognize the dis- graceful condition because “blood is thicker than water” (as Jim Blaine once said in congress), and because they affect, to half believe the “Ne- gro domination” lies and rot, sent out by southern democracy. It is high time our people of the country were being taught the truth by our newspapers, ministers and race or- ganizations, so that they will learn what to do and acquire the manhood and political independence to act promptly and effectively all over the country. 4 CLEVELAND AND TOLEDO LINE.

S. D. Brown and wife oceupied seats of honor, with Capt. W. S. Lowry and Capt. Snead, the latter being toastmaster. Short addresses were made by several dis- tinguished guests present and, after due attention to the menu, the guests were left to view the city at their pleasure. All who attended ex- pressed themselves as having been most hospitably entertained and en- tirely pleased with the reception ac- corded them.

Cheeks, of Atlanta, which were held in the Auditorium. The conference adjourned after the ap- proval of the minates Monday morn- ing, in honor of the dead. The Audi- torium was crowded. Bishops Ar- ‘nett, Derrick and Handy spoke of the | deceased, and Rey. J. W. Beckett and ‘a sextette furnished the music. The impressive ritual service was conduet- ed by Bishops Lee, Tanner and Salter. ‘The remains were taken to Washing- ton, D. C., on a train leaving at noon. Funeral services were held at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church at the nation’s capital on Tuesday. Confer- ence re-assembled at 3 p. m. and re- sumed the transaction of routine business, the revision of the disci- pline being the principal matter un- der consideration. Rev. W. H. Mixon, of Alabama; A. A. Whitman, of Geor- gia, or Mrs. Cheelgs. will in all _prob- ability be elected editor of the South- ern Christian Recorder. There seems to be no doubt but that the Preach- ers’ Aid association will be legalized by the general conference. The asso- ciation is a mutual benefit organiza- tion and was started since the last general conference with the endorse- ment of the bishops. Dr. Jenifer, who has so successfully conducted the association, will likely be placed at the head by the general confer- ence. The general conference may also elect a secretary for the Chris- tian Endeavor work of the church. ‘The official young people’s organiza- tion among the African Methodists are Christian Endeavor societies and for some time the young people have been asking that their work be di- rected by a general officer of the church. ‘The devotional exercises Tuesday morning were led by Bishop Derrick. Quite a lengthy business session, pre- sided over by Bishop Tanner, follow- ed, owing to the large number of committees on colleges’ reports which had to be gone through. Al- though some of the reports were long they contained much interesing mat- ter and showed what an advance has been made by the ehurch in educa- tionalmatters. Thefollowing cullegs were reported on at the session this morning: Morris Sowa college, At- Janta, Ga., Rev. J, W. Henderson; Ed- ward Waters college, Jacksonville, Fla., Rev. A. J. Kershaw; Western university, Kansas, Rev. W. T. Ver- non; Payne university, Alabama, Rev. J. 8. Moten; Payne Theological semi- nary, Ohio, Rev. James Woodson; Kittrell college, North Carolina, Rev. R. H. W. Leake; Allen university, South Carolina, Rey. W.D. Chappelle; Paul Quinn college, Waco, Tex., Rev. J. W. Rankin. The bishops met in the afternoon in executive session for the purpose of considering the pro- test which had been filed against the confirmation of Bishop-elect C. S. Smith, by Rev. H. C, C, Astwood, edi- tor of the Defender, the unofficial daily paper published in connection with the general donference. _ Ast- wood did all in his power to defeat Smith for the office, charging that Smith was guilty of intemperance. Astwood insisted that Smith’s case should be referred back to his con- ference for trial, and that Smith’s confirmation be postponed. A num- ber of additional committees were appointed and there was talk of ad- journment this week Friday. Wednesday mornirig’s session was devoted to ordatahy the five new bishops. ‘The conférence had already sustained Bishop Gaines in his expul- sion of Rev. John R: Scott, who was charged with inflicting a mortal wound on the person of Rev. Oba- diah Adams, of the rast Florida con- ference, on November 17, 1897. Rey. Astwood claims that Bishop-elect C. S. Smith has placed his resignation as bishop in the hands of the bishops for a period of 90 days, in order that his ordination will not be opposed. Meantime, the charges fied against him are to be disproved or he will relinquish the bishopric. The ordina- tion service and additional reports from colleges being completed, the conference recessed unul 3 p. m. when Rey. C, A. Phillips, editor of The Index, organ of the C. M. E. church and publishea at Jackson, Tenn., was introduced, making a short address. In the evening Booker T. Washington lectured. Bishop Grant presided at the morning ses: sion. The election of Rev. Cheek’s successor was made a special order for 3 p. m. to-morrow (Thursday). ‘The assignment of bishops and the designation of their districts was the most important business trans: acted at Thursday morning's session Bishop Lee presided. ‘The majority report of the committee on Episco- pacy was adopted by a vote of 217 tc 82, the minority report being reject: ed. The assignment and districts are as follows: First district, Bishop Derrick— Philadelphia, New York, New En- glaud and New Jersey conferences. Second district, Bishop Lee—Balti- Eighth district, Bishop Tyree—Ar- kansas, West Arkansas, East Arkan- sas, South Arkansas, Mississippi, Central Mississippi, North Missis- sippi and Northeast Mississippi con- ferences.

Thirteenth district, Bishop Moore —West coast of Africa including Sierra Leone, Liberia, Gold Coast and Gambia. Fourteenth district, Bishop Coppin —South Africa comprising the South African and Transvaal conferences and all adjacent territory. The sum of $12 was given to the secretaries of the Episcopal commit- tee for good work. The conference decided to get a journal for the rec- ord of the minutes of the conference and for the church historian. After some debate the resolution provid- ing for final adjournment Friday evening was reconsidered and by a vote of 130 to 85 the conference de- cided upon final adjournment Friday noon. ‘There is much important business yet to be transacted. Many of the delegates have already left for their homes. Rev. Max Mannington, of Georgia, who represented South Africa in the general conference, asked that the conference allow him $23.35 for his expenses. This was re- fused by the committee. The con- ference voted the amount for Man- nington. Notice was given that the Mannington resolution would be re- considered. Virginia conference was given the power to divide the confer- ence into two confertnces. The re- port of the committee on boundaries was adopted after a lengthy discus- sion. The case of Rev. J. A. L. Dykes, who qaims to have been improperly expelled from Indian Territory con- ference was discussed. ‘Yhe charges preferred against Bishop Handy by the Norfolk conference were receiv- ed this morning and are now under consideration by the Episcopal com- mittee. It is clafmed that the minis- ters of Norfolk are displeased with Bishop Handy for transferring a New Orleans man to the best church in Norfolk. CONFERENCE NOTES. As a result of the adoption of Rev. W. D. Cook’s resolution, after June 30 all bishops and ordained ministers will wear robes when administering the sacrament of baptism and mar- riage, ete. And so after many years’ wrestling the robe question has been practically settled. A resolution calling for adjourn- met Friday (yesterday) noon was adopted.

The recent war with Spain is fur- nishing a rich field for collection for the National museum, and the mate- rial on hand is already very extensive and full of interest. Campaigns by land and water, in Cuba, the Philip- pines, and Porto Rico have all con- tributed to the education of posterity in the ways of warfare of the present day, says the Washington Post, The collections now at the museum embrace every imaginable thing that pertains to war, from huge death- dealing guns and submarine mines to the buttons worn upon the uniform of private soldiers, Hardly a day goes by that does not see added some things of interest, the latest being four large brass cannon, taken from antique fortifications, which have been mounted upon the front steps of the museum. The Capron loan collection occupies a case by itself, and tells a pathetic story of the horrors of war. This col- lection embraces the uniforms, swords and other relics of father and son, who were both called upon to sacrifice their lives in the defense of their country.

The death of Miss Myrtle Goins occurred at her parents', Mr. and Mrs. George Goins, on Monday evening. She was aged 21 years, 3 months and 21 days. Just in the springtime of her life has Myrtle gone out from among us to bask in the sunlight of eternal rest. We certainly will miss her, out we know that our loss is but heaven's gain, for Myrtle was a dear good girl, beloved by all her associates and many friends. Our hearts go out in sympathy to the bereaved parents, sisters and brothers in the sad loss they have sustained. Funeral services were held at the A. M. E. church on Wednesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. T. Taggairt, of whose church Myrtle was a consistent attendant and member. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful and told more than words of the respect in which Myrtle was held. We loved her, yes, we loved her, But angels loved her more, And they have sweetly called her To yonder blissful shore. The pearly gates were opened, A gentle voice said, Come! And, with farewells unspoken, She calmly entered home. New Brighton, Pa.—Miss Lottie Vaughn, of Beaver Falls, and Thomas H. Dillard, of Lisbon, were married Sunday afternoon by Rev. H. A. Grant.—Rev.

I am highly pleased with The Gazette, the only paper that gives me courage and makes me believe that the Negro of America is still alive. We have some very dark corners yet to be lighted up, and we trust that The Gazette will continue to be one to help lighten them. I love its purpose and appreciate, its desires. I pray the time will soon come when every family will have The Gazette in their homes. All Negroes should read Negro papers. May The Gazette continue to live long to fight battles for our people.

Father Slattery in his Montgomery speech, speaking of our Methodist and Baptist church connections, said: "We know that some of their own bishops have not been ashamed to bring into publicity the shortcomings of the Negro ministers; one of them declaring in the New York Independent that two-thirds of them were immoral; yet, notwithstanding, no one questions their right or power as ministers of the gospel."

Martin was treasurer of the post exchange and canteen. It is charged that Martin forged receipts to bills of goods and retained the money turned over to nim to settle them. CARTER MEDICINE CO. WINS. Obtains Injunction in Case Involving Simulation of Labels. Brent Good, president of the Carter Medicine Company, yesterday received a telegram from his lawyers in Chicago, informing him that a final injunction, with costs, had been granted against the Chicago Label and Box Company. This company makes a specialty of manufacturing labels, boxes, etc., for druggists. The Carter Company has been following them through the courts for two years on the complaint that the label company was making simulations of the labels of Carter's Little Liver Pills. They have now obtained a final injunction, with costs, and the costs are very large, as the case has been submitted to a Master in Chancery for a final accounting. The Carter Medicine Company has been the first and only one to prosecute printers or engravers who have prepared such labels and wrappers. It marks a new departure in infringement cases, and their victory is one of great importance to the whole "proprietary trade," and also of interest to retail druggists.—N. Y. Press, May 2, 1900. The only reason why some people marry is because the woman wants a home and the man wants a servant.—Chicago Daily News. "I see, doctor, that you charge me 100 marks for visits and 60 marks for medicines. That is too much for me. But we can arrange it this way: I will pay you for the medicines and return your visits."—Fliegende Blaetter. St. Peter—"What makes you think I ought to let you in here?" Applicant—"My wife used to clean house four times a year and I always had to stay in the house while she did it."—Syracuse Herald. The Maid—"Mysoldier sweetheart swore he loved me better than life." The Matron—"That's nothing. Being a soldier, he is presumed to care nothing for life."—Kansas City Independent. Guest—"Yes, your wife has a magnificent voice; it ought to be cultivated." Henpeck—"How do you know? You never heard her sing." Guest—"No; but I have heard her talk. I live in the flat across the hall."—Syracuse Herald. An Imitative Dog.—"Bixby's dog is a great imitator. He can stand on his hind legs and drink from a bottle." "I suppose he has often seen his master do that."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. The editor was good-natured. He condescended to read the manuscript. "Not half bad," he said, finally; "but don't you think you've carried this joke a bit too far?" "Well, yes," the humorist replied; "just about the limit, I should say. This is the fourteenth floor, I believe, and the elevator isn't running."—Philadelphia Record. "What a libel! This newspaper says my new play was terribly hissed, especially in the last act." "Isn't it true?" "True! Of course not. When the last act came on there wasn't a soul in the house."—Indianapolis News. Elder Sister (coming up)—"Kitty, what have you been saying to Capt. Coward? He looks dreadfully offended." Kitty (engaged to the captain)—"I only told him if he had gone to the war and been shot I should have been so proud of him!"—Punch. PE-RU-NA FOR WOMEN The debilitating drains and discharges which weaken so many women are caused by Catarrh of the distinctly feminine organs. The sufferer may call her trouble, Leuchorrhoea, or Weakness, or Female Disease or some other name, but the real trouble is catarrh of the female organs and nothing else. Pe-ru-na radically and permanently cures this and all other forms of Catarrh. It is a positive specific for female troubles caused by catarrh of the delicate lining of the organs peculiar to women. It always cures if used persistently. It is prompt and certain. LABASTINE is the original and only durable wall coating, entirely different from all kalsomines. Ready for use in white or fourteen beautiful tints by adding cold water. ADIES naturally prefer ALABASTINE for walls and ceilings, because it is pure, clean, durable. Put up in dry powdered form, in five-pound packages, with full directions. LL kalsomines are cheap, temporary preparations made from whiting, chalks, lays etc., and stuck on walls with decaying animal glue. ALABASTINE is not a kalsomine. EWARE of the dealer who says he can sell you the "same thing" as ALABASTINE or "something just as good." He is either not posted or is trying to deceive you. ND IN OFFERING something he has bought cheap and tries to sell on ALABASTINE'S demands, he may not realize the damage you will suffer by a kalsomine on your wails. ENSIBLE dealers will not buy a lawsuit. Dealers risk one by selling and consumers by using infringement. Alabastine Co. own right to make wall coating to mix with cold water. HE INTERIOR WALLS of every church and school should be coated only with pure, durable ALABASTINE. It safeguards health. Hundreds of tons used yearly for this work. N BUYING ALABASTINE customers should avoid getting cheap kalsomines under different names. Insist on having our goods in packages and properly labeled. UISANCE of wall paper is obviated by ALABASTINE. It can be used on plastered walls, wood ceilings, brick or canvas. A child can brush it on. It does not rub or scale off. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O..

Of course, it was necessary hereupon that he recall everything in his past life in the space of one instant. This he failed to do.

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured with Local Applications, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years, and is a regular prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces.

J. W. G. Read what a Leading Minister, Rev. J. W. Gazaway of Pittsburg, Pa., says: THE GAZETTE. The most healthful signs of life and a highly useful career are indicated in the existence of the above-named paper. That it is a paper of Brain and Culture can not be doubted when the fact is remembered that in its columns are found communications from the wisest and best minds of our race. It is a paper FOR THE PEOPLE it represents and can be relied upon as a friend of every colored man, though his face may be of ebony hue. THE GAZETTE is a practical demonstration of what can be done by the young men of our race. The editor is a young man who, by dint of INDUSTRY and ECONOMY and FAIR DEALING, has succeeded in giving to the colored people of Ohio and the country a PAPER WORTHY THE PATRONAGE OF ALL. Having been a reader of THE GAZETTE since its first appearance, and having watched its course, I feel that in justice to the paper, the editor and the race, I should come upon the people generally, to support the paper that is PRACTICALLY identified with the COLORED people, and is in harmony with the interests and success of all without regard to Complexion.
