Member Ohio Legislature, 1) 1894 to 1898, 2) 1900 to 1902. CLEVELAND, OHIO, SEPT. 15, 1900. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. One Mr. S. A. Billingslen, of Savannah, Ga., writing to the New York Sun, has undertaken to lecture Editor Timothy T. Fortune and Bishop H. M. Turner, and thinks he has said something. We would be pleased to endorse Mr. Billingslen in what he says, but he reasons erroneously and contradicts himself. He says emigration from the south in any direction means utter destruction. The world knows better, and Billingslen should know better too. Then he says if the Negro were properly trained, he could control one-third of the business in every city in the south. Ridiculous! Putting on his climax, this too ready writer presumes to say that if Bishop Turner would do as he has done, the south would to-day be a black man's paradise. We are satisfied that Bishop Turner means well and has accomplished good in neutralizing the feeling among southerners that the colored man is to depend solely upon the south for home and country. The Puritans asserted their right to emigrate and it is ours to dare. The question of emigration is a perplexing one and we are not inclined to urge it. But we may ask, "Why has not the south become a paradise to the black, if doing what Mr. Billingslen has done could make it so?" He is aware that lynching in the south is the dominant feeling and yet to shun this terrible evil, he says, is worse than folly. Now it really does appear that S. A. Billingslen is anxious to advertise himself. WASHINGTON VS. DOUGLASS. We live in a transition period, when the old is giving way to the new; but no new developments can change the unvarying stability of a truth that is eternal. It is claimed that B. T. Washington has the whole world at his command, but the statement does not warrant the conclusion of absolute moral rectitude. We speak of that rectitude in principle upon which is based the fundamental idea of the highest statesmanship and the perfection of human reason. But when Douglass gave utterance to a thought, men shook their heads and assented, or walked away, because they recognized the almost infallibility of the conviction of the man. Few men ever heard Douglass who were not satisfied that though they were not agreed with him in opinion, yet they were forced to admit that he was honest and that he was right. He entertained the highest moral view to the situation and based his conclusions upon what he believed to be a self-evident duty. He subordinated no principle to expediency and he compromised nothing with wrong. In some things he was purely conservative, believing in a patient and judicious submission to the inevitable rather than incur greater wrongs, but he scorned the idea of substituting things false for things true. He was a temporizer in no sense of the word. He did nothing by halves nor did he hesitate to expose evil-doing and injustice at any cost. Like the needle to the pole, he confided in God and fixed his faith in the eternal law and in the immutable principles of justice. He was optimistic in the idea that it was always best to please God rather than man. Under the guiding law of heaven he labored and plead for the freedom and elevation of a race. He lived in the higher realms of thought, contending for the consummation and triumph of ends which must redcound to the ultimate happiness and glory of all men. A radical and an extremest in his contention for every jot and tittle of justice, yet he was temperate in his treatment of conditions. His manhood forbade the slightest concession of the inalienable rights of our common nature, nor would he surrender an honest truth for the sake of a temporary gain. Parties with him involved not the cardinal measures of supreme government, so he renounced the tyranny of a canting democracy and allied himself with the party next best in advancing and maintaining the principles of human liberty and human equality. He was a philanthropist and statesman; he built his own monument and he died, leaving the impress of his soul upon the bosom of time and unalterable in the faith that one man, with God on his side, is a majority. On the other hand, we have Prof. B. T. Washington taking leadership and working along the same lines for freedom and elevation. Mr. Washington also is a man of results and is accomplishing unquestionable good in the cause of our people. With motives equally as honest, perhaps, he devotes his time, talent and energy in finding a pathway for the race out of the snakes, entangiements and bedements of American life. He has adopted a task, suggested by circumstances and influences incident to the demands of our present condition and with untiring purpose he plies heart and hand for the final solution of the perplexing problem. He has established a system and has inaugurated a movement which commend them- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1900. selves to the better judgment of the people. In short, he has won the sanction and approbation of the most virulent, Negro-hating element of the south. He has taken intermediate ground for the race, subordinating and surrendering in some respects individual manhood for the sake of effecting feasible conditions. Whether these conditions improved or not shall remain a lasting blessing, depends largely upon the wisdom and spirit of Mr. Washington. He labors for the education and elevation of colored youth and in this he lends a high service to the cause of humanity and country. But if in rendering this service he adopts means and methods at a sacrifice of the great principles of equal justice, then it becomes a matter of grave concern to those with whom Mr. Washington has to deal. Unequal conditions do not require the same remedies, nor can the Afro-American hope to enjoy in his present status privileges not attained through his own brain and energy. But there is a moral in every lesson which cannot be eliminated and must not be distorted. Prudence and forethought are essential to every individual. These must be exercised in the interest of self-protection and every man of every race must regard those duties obligatory by the laws of God and man. None can afford to stultify themselves, all must be true to themselves and without which one becomes slave and the other master. Mr. Washington teaches subordination of his own race to another. He means well and deserves much, but whether such an expediency is the wisest course remains yet to be seen. Douglass plead the cause of equal rights and non-discrimination, and he yielded to none in advocacy of these measures. He plead for a universal law and a platform upon which all men might build and shape their own destiny. Women are now qualified to enter as students at the Faculty of Arts at the Vienna university on the same terms as men, and the professors in the Faculty of Law in Vienna have petitioned the ministry of education to allow women to enroll themselves as regular students in that branch of learning also. The citizens of Syracuse, N. Y., have just dedicated a monument to the memory of Philip Eckel, who was for several years at the head of the fire department in that city. The monument is to commemorate his devotion to duty, and its erection, 14 years after his death, well shows local appreciation of that devotion. The first census returns which have come in show that the most rapid growth of the last ten years has been in the border land about the big cities—just outside the heart of the town, but not far enough to be in the country. The trolley car is probably responsible for this development. It has made possible the thick peopling of land which was formerly too far out for the homes of persons whose daily work was in the city. Stories of the trickiness of the Boers have appeared by the dozen, but none of them to beat their little dodge at Magersfontein. There they obtained a number of gas pipes. Each time a big gun was fired with smokeless powder a gas pipe charged with black powder was let off a couple of hundred yards away; and thus the Boer gunners were enabled to go on firing coolly and collectedly, without even a shell falling near them. Within the last few years English people have discovered that the interior of the Malay Peninsula is full of rich tin ore. The Chinese knew this hundreds of years ago, and actually made a road all the way down from their own country, a distance of over 1,000 miles. Thousands settled around the mines and worked them, and to-day there is a little nation of Chinese in the peninsula, in whose hands is most of the commerce of the country. When Li Hung Chang was in Philadelphia during his tour of this country a piece of his silk jacket was torn off in a crowd, either by accident or design. The venerable Mongolian was much annoyed at his loss because the particular piece of silk was embroidered with a figure representing a personal gift from the empress of China. A detective has just found the scrap of garment—he declines to say where except to his superiors—and it will be forwarded to Marquis Li. Australian rabbit exporters are dissatisfied with the methods of the colonial government towards exterminating rabbits. An expensive department, it is said, is maintained for the purpose of poisoning the animals, whereas trapping would be equally efficacious and would bring in a revenue of 100,000 pounds. There is now a large trade in frozen rabbits and exporters would be willing to pay reasonable prices for them, the money to go to the extermination department. Austria is the one country in the world which never puts a woman in prison. Instead of giving a female criminal so many months in jail she is sent, no matter how terrible is her record, to one or other of the convents devoted for the purpose and kept there during the time for which she is sentenced. The convent is not a mere prison in disguise, for its the courtyard stands open all day long, the only bar to egress being a nun who acts as porteress, just as in other convents. Mme. Patti, who recently attained her fifty-seventh birthday, has for many years held the record for the largest sum earned by a woman. Her highest total for twelve months is $350,000. Her present London concert terms are said to be $2,000 a night, but her high-water mark for single performance is $11,000, received in Buenos Ayres. Mme. Patti has written some "Confessions," from which it appears that her favorite novelist is Dickens; her favorite pastime, entertaining her friends. GAGEBACKATSCHURZ Secretary of the Treasury Replies to Open Criticism. Has Nothing to Retract in Former Letter on Danger of Bryan's Election—Quotes Bryan's Statements. In reply to an open letter of Carl Schurz', in which he criticised Secretary Gage's former statements concerning the menace of Bryan's election, Mr. Gage has written the following letter: "Dear Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of yours of the 3d inst., in which you utter some words of criticism upon the statements made by me in a newspaper interview published August 26, in which I expressed the opinion that Mr. Bryan, if elected president, could, by the exercise of considerable 'perverse ingenuity', put the government on a silver basis, ruin its credit and bring incalculable disaster upon the business interests of the country. "You deny that the dangers set forth by me in that interview really exist, and that any president will be able to do what I declare might be done, 'unless the republican party in control of the government in both the legislative and executive branches proves itself utterly dishonest in its professed purpose to maintain the gold standard.' "You say your denial 'is not based upon the reasoning of those of your critics who seek to show by figures that a president desiring ever so much to put the country on a silver basis would lack the means of doing so." "On the contrary, you admit 'for argument's sake,' all I say on that point. It would not seem, therefore, that there is any particular difference between us as to what Mr. Bryan as president could do under the law or in spite of the law as it now is." "It ought to have been apparent to you, as it no doubt was, that I was speaking of possibilities of the case under circumstances and conditions as they now exist; but you proceed to point out how, at the next session of congress, which will meet in December, legislation could be had which would completely forestall unfriendly action toward the gold standard, even if Mr. Bryan were elected, and should still cherish the firm-set purpose declared by him on September 16, 1896, at Knoxville, Tenn., where he said: "If there is anyone who believes that the gold standard is a good thing, or that it must be maintained, I warn him not to cast his vote for me, because I promise him it will not be maintained in this country longer than I am able to get rid of it." "You rebuke me in polite terms for sounding a false note of alarm, disquieting the business community and especially when uttered by one in authority. I am not at all skilled in controversy, and have had no practice in dialectics, but I will indulge in a few words in the way of rejoinder to your criticism. "In the first place, then, no more serious disaster could overtake this country (in this I think you will agree with me) than the breaking down of the gold standard and the adoption of that principle of money for which Mr. Bryan contends. In 1896, you, yourself, are quoted as having said: 'The mere apprehension of a possibility of Mr. Bryan's election and of the consequent placing of our country upon the silver basis has already caused untold millions of our securities to be thrown upon the market. Scores of business orders are already recalled, a large number of manufacturing establishments have already stopped or restricted their operations, enterprise is already discouraged, and nearly paralyzed; * * * and if these are the effects of a mere apprehension of a possibility, what would be the effect of the event itself? There is scarcely an imaginable limit to the destruction certain to be wrought by the business disturbances that Mr. Bryan's election would cause.' "I am unable to perceive why the same consequences, in a minor degree, perhaps, would not ensue now, which you so forcibly foreshadowed then. "Now, when consequences so great as these are involved, the forces operating to inaugurate them should be resisted at every point. Even the possibility of danger should be avoided. It is a familiar fact, and one altogether too much in evidence, that an administrative officer filled with hatred and contempt of a particular law can, by perverse ingenuity, practically nullify its operations. "You point out in your letter that if the course indicated by me in the interview referred to should be contemplated by Mr. Bryan, the republican congress, which meets in December next, could in advance restrain him by new and more effective mandatory provisions. The proposition that in case of Mr. Bryan's election the present congress can tie his hands so that he cannot give effect to his expressed intention appears to me to be fallacious. It would require new legislation by a party whose policy would have been rejected by the people through their last expression at the polls. Further than this, the next session will expire by operation of law on March 4, 1901. The free silver minority would be justified by their constituents in using all the resources of dilatory procedure to prevent such legislation, and against such tactics affirmative legislation such as you suggest would be probably impossible. Can anyone doubt that Mr. Bryan would urge action by his friends in congress to prevent the further strengthening of the policy which he denounces as criminal? "Since you have raised the question of further legislation, let us look a little further forward. If Mr. Bryan is elected president, it is of all things the most probable that the next house will have a democratic majority. But, even admitting that congress, dating from March 4, 1901, will not be able to effect any change in our present financial legislation, what, we may fairly ask, will be the effect of the continued agitation of the question upon business and industry, set in motion by a president bent upon the restoration of free silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, and elected upon that platform? "You end your letter by suggesting that I retract what I have said in fairness to the business community, which should not be unnecessarily disquieted, especially not by those in authority. Thinking as I do that the election of Mr. Bryan would be a real menace to the commercial and industrial interests of our people, because of the purpose he cherishes and the power he would possess, I do not feel at liberty to act upon your suggestion; I feel it my duty to at least wait until after Mr. Bryan has retracted his statement of 1896 that 'It (the gold standard) will not be maintained in this country longer than I am able to get rid of it.' Very truly yours. "LYMAN J. GAGE." A Kansas genius has been turning an honest penny by exhibiting a feathered dog.

There is no bar to it except the alien contract law and the usual quarantine regulations. The Japanese government itself is not friendly to this immigration and has done what it could to discourage it, says the Indianapolis News. Some years ago it enacted a law requiring each emigrant to secure a passport, which is granted only on condition that he provide two sureties that he will not become a public charge or fall into distress for three years. But the Japanese quickly "worked" this as our politicians "work" registration laws in large cities. They soon organized 12 companies to provide sureties and transportation. They have agents throughout Japan, and everyone who wants to emigrate can get his passport within a few days. These companies have furnished a great stimulus to the outflow. Last April more than 8,000 Asiatics, chiefly Japanese, landed at Victoria alone. The official estimates are that 90 per cent. of the Japanese landed in Canada eventually come to this country. Many Chinese, of course, evade the exclusion law and come in through the same channel. British Columbia has no alien immigration laws. But the Chinese immigration has been so burdensome that the country has imposed an onerous poll tax and to some extent has succeeded in checking it. The Japanese, like the Chinese, are industrious and tractable, and large railroads find their services valuable. The Great Northern road, for example, has a close traffic with the subsidized Japanese steamers at Seattle, and consequently Japanese labor is profitable, both to the railroad and the Japanese steamship companies. Thus far we have never felt, that the Chinese and Japanese were in the same social scale, but undoubtedly an Asiatic population is not desirable. CUBA'S CROP OF TOBACCO. American Cigar Dealers Will Soon Control the Island's Entire Output. Eugene Vallens, general manager of the Havana American Tobacco company, recently returned from Cuba, where he investigated the present tobacco situation and the results that may be expected of the coming tobacco crop, says the Minneapolis Tribune. "The tobacco crops so far this year," he says, "have not been as large as those of former years. The cause of the decrease is essentially due to the fact that the inhabitants of the country have have not yet become fully reestablished in the tobacco cultivation after the late war. "The largest part of the tobacco cultivation in Cuba is at present conducted by Americans, and there is no doubt in my mind that in the near future the entire tobacco production of the island will be conducted exclusively by the American people. "The small tobacco crop has somewhat curtailed the exportation of tobacco to Europe, as well as to other foreign countries. This, however, has not caused any trouble, as Europe has never consumed a great deal of good tobacco, especially in the way of cigars. The tobacco purchased by the European merchants is largely of a cheaper quality, of which an extensive supply has been exported from the states. "This country produces about 400,000,000 clear Havana cigars a year in normal times. The total output of cigars in the United States is about 4,500,000,000 annually, of which 125,000,000 are produced from the island of Cuba. About one-third of the Cuban output is consumed right here in our country, and the remainder exported. This will give you an idea as to how extensive the use of good cigars is throughout the eastern world. "The outlook for the coming winter crops of tobacco, however, is very encouraging, and we expect a great deal from the tobacco which is soon to be harvested in Cuba."

Mothers should know the success of their husbands and children; young ladies should know everything about their sweetheart and company, marry or go into business until you know all; do not let silly religious scruples prevent your consulting. Mamae is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, and tells whether the one you love is true or false. Reader, do you ever notice that some people matter what they do they seem to prosper, while others, yourself may be, have such a hard time to get along, and no matter how hard they try, find at the end of the year they are no better off than when they started. This is because they have not consulted the right Medium, while the successful people, in all Mediums, are the ones of the genius Mediums and obtained advice. If you are unsuccessful in business, have bad luck, things go wrong with you, then you should consult Mrs. Marth. She will tell you what your trouble is, as she understands the spells and evil influences. She has spent years helping distressed persons and has brought thou MRS. M. B. MARTH. 246 West 31st.

The Dutch commandant who had charge of all the Britisi prisoners taken after the battles of Glencoe, Dundee and Neholson’s nek has told Mr. Davitt the followmg interesting little story: Going his rounds at inid- aight on one occasion he was as- tounded to see an Engtish suldier acting as oer sentinel over the pris- oners, and on the commandant de- manding an_ explaaation “Tommy” offered the following extraordinary account of his transformation from a prisoner to sentinel over himself and fellow prisoners: “\Well, sir, this ‘er little chap,” pointing to the sleep- ing form of a Boer lad 15 years old, “was dead broke for sleep after two nights of dooty.

Forbes and One of His Audiences, As a lecturer on his experiences Archibald Forbes was very popular, and he was fond of recounting an ex- perience of his debut in that capacity at Leven, Fifeshire. With a thumping heart the new lecturer appeared at the hall door shortly before the start. ing time of 8 o’clock, and, not wishing to crush through a great andience on his way to the platform, he asked the hallkeeper to conduct him to a side door. “Ye needna mind,” replied that functionary, not unkindly; “there's no crood.” When Forbes entered the hall he had to admit that the keeper was cor- rect. There was not a single soul present. After a bit, however, a man strolled in ayd calmly proceeded to choose a seat. It seems he was a commercial traveler, putting up at the place for the night, who had found time hanging heavily on his hands. Nobody else coming, Forbes said to the “audience:” “Will you have the lecture, or will you have a drink?” “A drink,” said the traveler.—Gold- en Penny. A Thrifty Soul.

One Occasion When the Piety of « Michigan Politician Was Not Conspicaous. M. E. Chittenden, the Michigan politician who died recently, dearly loves a joke. His own initials, “M.E. C.,” he always insisted, stood for Methodist Episcopal church, which organization, could it have secured him, would have acquired a very lively member. “Mart,” as Mr. Chittenden was familiarly called, relates the Chicago Chronicle, par- tially lost his hearing some years ago and communication with him thereafter was one of the fine arts. Being the agent of the Standard Oil company for a large terri- tory, he traveled considerably, and on a cer- tain occasion fell in with a couple of friends at Hillsdale, who invited him to go with them to dinner at the house of a resident ac- quaintance. One of them quiet!y said to the host: “Mr. Chittenden is an ‘exceedingly pigus man and likes to have the food blessed efore partaking. You must invite him to ask the blessing. . Accordingly, when all were seated, silence fell upon the company, while the host turned to Mr. Chittenden with “Will you ask the blessing?” k . Up went Chittenden’s hand to his ear, with his usual, quick, nervous gesture, as in a listening attitude he responded in a tone more decided than unctuous: “I've grown so all-fired deaf lately that if you've got anything to say to me you'll have to say it devilish loud.” A roar from the two friends disclosed to Chittenden and the astonished host that they had been the victims of eae joke. But “Chit” enjoyed it amazingly when he un- derstood what had happened. whe ‘Watl of Rabvion. “Now, children,” said the Sunday school teacher, “which of you can tell me why Babylon fell?” There was a long silence. ‘The little ones bent over and: looked at one another and drew long breaths, but none of them said anything. ‘ “Come, come!” the teacher exclaimed at ee “Tm surprised! Isn’t there yo little ay or girl in this class who can tell why Babylon fell?

Intelligent Stage Drivers, A New York visitor returned recently from Newport full of admiration for the in- telligence of the stage drivers who undertake to show strangers the sights of the town. He was driving about in one of the vehicles de- voted to the so aianieat of those who un- dertake to see the sights of the town inex- pensively. ‘The driver stopped before one of the show places of Newport. “This is Mr. SmithJones’ villa,” said the driver, as he turned to the passengers, “and the lady in the red hat by the corner of the Pinsza is the younger Miss Smith-Jones, whose en- gagement to Mr. Brown wae announced yes- terday.” The New York visitor had never before met stage drivers so anxious to have their patrons enjoy themselves.—N.
