Editor and Proprietor Tar Gazette, Case Library Building, Cleveland, Onto Member Ohio Legislature, } 154 to 1698 pallens ee —————————————— CLE VELAND, OHIO, NOV. . 1900. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and thas 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. The Denver (Col) Statesman, the Chicago (I1].) Conservator, and all oth- er papers which urge the passage of the Crumpacker bill, a measure whien if passed by congress, would reduce the representation in that body held by southern states that have dis- franchised thousands of citizens by state constitution amendments, are on the wrong track and should “about face” immediately. Suck action upon the part of congress, before the con- stitutionality of the amendments re- ferred to is determined in the United States supreme court, would be a quasi endorsement of disfranchise- ment. The amendments are clearly mnconstitutional, because they con- flict with the 14th and 15th amend- ments of the United States Corstitu- tion. If they are permitted to remain upon the statutes of the southern states that have adopted them, and the representation of these states in eongress is cut down, citizen rights in this country will receive a fatal blow, and no class will be injured one-half as much as the Afro-American. There- fore the thing for our newspapers, ministers and leaders, especially, to do, is to further the movement pro- jeeted by the National Afro-American Council to test in the United States court the constitutionality of the state amendments anc to have them declared by the Supreme court of the mation, null and void because of their unconstitutionality, Two of the four southern states base their amend- ments upon what is known as the “grandfather clause,” and the other states hase theirs upon an education- al quilification. North’ and South Carolina, Louisiana and Mississippi are the four states in question. The “grandfather clause” has not a leg to etend on if taken into any United States court. This is the consensus of opinion, heth south and north. ‘The amendments based upon an eduea- tional qualification will be harder to have declared uncoustitutionel, MHow- ‘ever, the effort should be made (for the reason stated) before the matter is taken up in eongress. In event that the amendments based upon the edu- citional idea should survive a test ease in the United States supreme court, then, and then only, will the time be ripe for congress to take ac- tion and cut down the representation in it keld by the states having anti- franchise constitation amendments pased upon the educational qualifiea- tion idea. ‘The Gazette insists that its contemporaries give this matter the attention it merits before endorsing the Crumpacker or any other like mensure pending in congress. REJOINDER TO MR. BOLTON SMITH ON THE REPEAL OF THE SUFFRAGE AMENDMENTS. * Mr. Bolton Smith, a northern-born white man, writes a letter from Mem- phis to a friend in the north. The same was criticized by one of the edi- tors of the Boston Journal and now it is held that the Journal finds itself «rowned, It will be seen that Mr. Bolton is urging in mighty effort the repeal of the Fifteenth amendment to our national constitution, Regard- Jess of the great principle of right ‘and justice, the writer bases his argu- ment upon the mere observation of some 18 years’ residence in the south, teking advantage of the existing state of cireumstances and all the adverse feeling emanating against the Negro from the bad elements of social life. Sources of evil over which the Afro- American has no control are charged to him im a manner that betrays either a tendency to open antagonism to the race or a want of due informa- tion. Desiring to shield the south in its criminal aggressions against the unfortunate black race, Mr. Bolton at once assails this people upon the ground of a condition and not a the- ory. He is convinced that the Negro lacks the elements of character nec- essary to the exercise of the suffrage. and he is convinced in what he con- cludes to be a fact from the surround- ings and the situation in which he is placed. Now it must, be borne in mind that chatacter is the emanation of inborn principles of right which gre inherent in all races, because of gnon’s moral nature. But when that nature ix hopelessly perverted and de- praved, then it may be argued that a people is lacking in the elements of character. The evidence is conclu- give thet against all the deteriorating influences of the Negro’senviron- ments he has been gradually improv- ing his condition and that improve- mcht has come about evem mm the face ef © cireumseribed liberty which he hax been permitted to enjoy. But let any pecple be oppressed and hinder- ed in the exercise of their manhond rights, it at once follows that degra- dation ard demoralization will ensue. ‘The force of Mr. Bolton's argument Smpliex that because the Afro-Ameri- ean lives in the midst of a “superior” gece that the former must necessar- fly be circumscribed, oppressed and restricted in their own personal free- fiom in order that the latter may dominate, or, in other words, if the races were living separately they might be weleome to make their own THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1900. frage. We contend then that what-| ever is right is right, and that if it is | just and fair for a race of people to | exercise helpful privileges for their own happiness and security apart to | themselves, it is equally as just that the same privileges be enjoyed rate a homegenous government. All men are ordained with moral powers of. mind and it is simply false reasoning that the writer should presume to deny to the Negro that power of dis- crimination which warrants him the right of choice and sustains him in the maintenance of those normal principles so essential to human character. God never designed that one race shall be subordinated to an- other; he never ordained the relation of master and slave, but simply a pos- sible condition in which men may be mutual helps to each other. In the reply to the Boston Journal, Mr. Bol- ton charges that not a line has been advanced to prove the fitness of the Negro to the right of suffrage, yet in his argument to prove the race un- qualified he himself fails to advance a line to prove this unfitness, because he has dealt only in showing that the race is not possessed with those rare and high attainments which the white race to-day enjoys. In in- stances not a few Mr. Bolton has in- dulged in strong affirmations, leaving the reader te find the proof. He is quite content that so far as himself and his own race are concerned, they are secure in the rights of freemen, but in treating with the rights of the weaker race, it becomes a matter of trivial import. He forgets that as a sworn juror he is passing upon the rights and liberties of ten millions of American citizens whose privileges are just as sacred as his own. For more than 200 years this nation tol- erated the enslavement and oppres- sion of the black man under its gov- ernment. The northern states, on the other hand, deprecating the evil of the slave owner, emancipated their slaves and invested them with the right of suffrage. In a moment of seeming triumph of the national dem- oeracy, this northern-born citizen de- votes columns of earnest endeavor in urging the repeal of the suffrage amendments. Why? Has the Negro wronged him personally, has, he wronged his country, has be proven his disloyalty or shown himself un- worthy the rights and immunities of an American citizen? Has he been less faithful than other citizens in the exercise of the suffrage? Our people have been loyal and conciliatory. They understand that under the amended constitution they have rights and guarantees that are irre- vocable and that no state can justly deprive them of a free and equal suf- frage. He prides himself upon his fidelity to the republican party and in this has been his offending; in this it is demanded that he shall be dis- franchised. But it is charged that Negro votes are purchasable. This is not generally true. But, admitting the charge, we ask, Are the whites more honorable in character or less felonious who buy the votes than the biacks who sell them? Is not the mo- tive in either case just as criminal as |the other, and does not the lack of honor and character disqualify the one as much as the other? It is the one who offers the bribe rather than he who sells his vote and it is the buyer who proves himself less worthy and less stable in character. Mr. Bol- ton submits the following syllogism to the northern white people, from which he draws a’ conclusion: “The mental and moral attainments of the northern people who have removed to the south since the war equal those of the people who have remain- ed in the north and the cpportunity of the former for gathering informa- tion regarding the fitness of the Ne- gro, whether educated or uneducated, for suffrage, is much better than that possessed by the latter. Therefore the conclusions of those northern people who have moved to the south are more reliable on this subject than the conclusions of the people who live in the north.” The above propo- sition is not necessarily and invaria- bly true. It depends largely upon the ability and integrity of the individual. A northern man may go south and live there fifty odd years only to im- bibe southern feeling and prejudice, and thus the longer he lives in the south his hatred and antagonism against those once the slaves to a master becomes more intensified. Such a man is not qualified to deter- mine the fitness of the Negro for the right of suffrage. He may profess friendship for the Negro—such friendship as seeing him enjoy the right to earn his bread. But nothing the Negro can do to elevate or com- mend himse.. to the favor and intelli- gence of good people can ever claim ims pleasure, because he is under any and all circumstances opposed to his being more than a menial or a. serf. Now take a fair-minded northern white man who desires the welfare of all men; let him spend a single year in the south in close observation; let him mingle among the masses and classes of all races; let him have to deal with the colored veople, laying aside all bias and prejudice and Jearn of their humility, docility and oblig- ing disposition to serve their bene- factors; let the visit be repeated a few times at least to satisfy an im- partial and unprejudiced mind, and the evidence of deserving worth will be largely in favor of the Negrc Reare} under the benign influence of gospel-teaching and American civiliza- ernments and hence the impossibility | of the weaker element dominating the stronger. It is not that white men of the south have any dread of Negro supremacy, but on’ the other hand they desire to eliminate his vote to degrade him and to deny him the right of an equal chance in the exer-; cise of his citizenship. It is not that the Negro is a hindrance in any way to southern growth and enterprise, but rather it is the desire to hold him in the relation of the inferior to a superior. If not, then why these “Jim Crow” cars? Why this exclusion fron hotels and other public places? Why this exclusion from the jury box, from the militia, from the fire departments, and other immunities, if they are not intended to suppress the ambition of his manhood and cireumscribe him in his rights. The man who opposes rights so necessary for human happi- ness and human enjoyment does so through no sense of wisdom or expe- diency, but rather in the spirit of a usurper and_a selfish tyrant. He knows bettef. He knows it is unjust, but, impelled by a eruel and unholy propensity to enforce hardships, it becomes his pleasure to oppress those whom he would spurn and despise. We mean not to censure Mr. Bolton Smith for the argument he has ad- duced against the Negro, for he seems to be sincere in his effort. But he seems quite unconscious of the im- mense wrong he is perpetrating against the race and humanity in his mad attempt to deprive them of the suffrages of a free people. Does he realize the terrible penalty he means to impose in this robbery of the right to protection and security, and will he, in the face of all the political outrages already committed against this nation, entail greater wrongs by completing the work of our disfran- chisement? While in the north Mr. Smith was a republican, but on going south and seeing how unprepared the Negro was to exercise the right of suffrage, he was forced to be a demo- crat, The reasoning 1s rather bad logic. The gentleman professes a warm devotion to the cardinal princi- ples of the republican party, he com prehends the force and significance of the mission of this grandest of all po- litical organizations known to this country. Then why should he re- nounce these principles, why compro- mise his convictions of loyalty and patriotism as viewed from a republi- can standpoint, and substitute meth- ods that are diametrically opposed to the fundamental idea of free govern- ment? The truth is, Mr. Smith has never been a republican from princi- ple, but from policy. Therefore on going south he finds it an easy mat- ter to adapt himseif to southern sen- timent. He finds it a popular thing to decry the Negro, to demean, be- little and oppress him and he becomes a patron to southern practices, He finds that even mob law is popular and he yields tacit assent to the same. At least, he has virtually ac- knowledged himself an apologist for the crime, since he demands the re- peal of the suffrage amendments and pleads no word of merey for the pro- tection of the poor Afro-American in his helplessness. The — Fifteenta amendment is well nigh a dead letter under our constitution, the supreme court of the nation haying, throngh its ample provisions, ignored ow claims to an equal citizenship Would it not have been magnanimous in Mr. Smith to appeal to the people of the north to extend to the Negro in his wretchedness some kind help ing hand to resene him from the fierce impending perils which now threaten him in southland? Again, it is derandgd by the writer that the complete elimination of the Negro vote from southern politics is a nee- essary preliminary to the formation of two white parties, and can only ve ‘obtained by a repeal of the suffrage ‘amendments. Such a contention can ‘result only in dire michief to the ‘country, because it would engender ‘a spirit of sectionalism and defiance in the south which would place the two sections in open antagonism to each other. This is the people's gov- ‘ernment, for and by the people, and ‘the idea ‘of a white man’s govern- ment in the south in contradistinction to that in the north would ultimately induce rebellion and revolution. Cer- tainiy if the repeal of the suffrage amendments would aid the colored ‘man in any particular or generally ‘and in the meantime conduce to the ‘good of our southern white brother as well, we might acquiesce in the ‘demand. But the history of our country reveals the fact that wher- ever any seeming act of injustice has been known to exist there has been a feeling of unrest among the people. ‘The time would come when all sec- tions would be aroused, and brave and good men would confront each other in the arena of polities to bat- tle for the rights of their country- men. Touching the educational qual- ification of the Afro-American and the cold and unrelenting diserimina- tion made by Mr. Smith, we -propose to consider in a subsequent leader, _———e Against Disfranchisement.

Removes all trouble and estergements, unites the separated and causes speedy marriages. $1,000 challenge to any medium who can exceed her in her startling revelations of the past, present and future events of one's life. Remember, she will not for any price flatter you; you may rest assured you will gain facts without nonsense. She can be consulted upon all questions. She can be consulted with Friends etc., with description of future companion. She is very accurate in describing missing friends, enemies, etc. Her advice upon sickness, change in business, journeys, lawsuits, contested wills, divorce and speculation is valuable and reliable. She reads your destiny—good or bad; she withholds nothing. MRS. MARTH, born with a double veil, is a seventh daughter, tells your entire life—past present and future—in a DEAD TRANCE; has the power of any two clairvoyants you ever met. She tells whether your present sweet-heart will be true to you and if he will marry you: if you have no sweetheart, she will tell you when you will have, and his name, business and date of acquaintance, clairvoyantly ALL YOUR FURTURE will be written in an honest clear and plain manner, in a dead trance. Mothers should know the success of their husbands and children: young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts and intended husband. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all; do not let silly religious scruples prevent your consulting. Maacame 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 seem to have good luck all the time, and no matter how much they prosper, others, yourself may-be, have such a hard time to get along, and no matter how hard they try, they 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 probabilities, have been to one of the genuine Mediums and obtained advice. If you are unsuccessful in business, have bad luck, things go wrong with you, then you should consult Mrs. Marth.

No. 21, writes the following letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., from 827 Belmont avenue, Chicago, Ill.: "Last year I had a severe attack of la ripe which left me very weak, so that I was unable to perform my duties. Several of my friends advised me to build up on Peruna, and I found it by far the finest tonic and invigorator I had ever used. In two weeks I was strong and well, and if ever I am exposed to unusual hardship incident with my duties at fires, I take a dose or two of Peruna and find that it keeps me in good health." Charles Peterson. Lieut. Chas. Peterson. The above is only one of fifty thousand letters we have on file attesting the merits of Peruna. There are a great multitude of people in all parts of the land who have entirely lost their health as a result of the la gripe; who have recovered from an attack, but find themselves with weakened nerves, deranged question, and with but very little of their former powers. There is no disease known to man that leaves the system in such an outrageous and exasperating condition as the gripe. For this class of sufferers, Peruna is a specific. Peruna should be taken according to directions and in a few weeks the sufferer will be entirely restored to his accustomed health.

Sadie Merritt Discusses the Fashions of PARIS She Tells of the Many Charming Fancies of the Mode to Be Seen in Europe PARISIAN women are partial to fur as a trimming for the winter hats. For this reason golden galloons and tissues naturally figure in many of the model hats and toques. They are daringly combined with sealskin, broadtail, mink and ermine, and in some cases delicately veiled, first with white chiffon, and some with cobwebby black lace. These fur-trimmed hats show a display of flowers, such as chrysanthemums, violets, tea roses and crushed roses in silk velvet in colors of shell pink, tea, white and red. One of these fur-trimmed hats recently seen is a charming affair of reseda mirror velvet andermine fur. The velvet is arranged in encircling tucks to form a flat crown, which is held down by a steel buckle. From this is a white ostrich feather to droop gracefully over the right side. Narrow bands ofermine are most artfully introduced between folds of velvet. A model hat that is attracting some attention in one of the millinery displays of the hour is a startling affair of soft brown felt which is turned up in front with a couple of mink skins, the heads meeting in the center. The back is arranged in practically the same way, except that in A I place of the heads a couple of tails fall over the hair. In catching the brims together there is a twist of brown velvet with a large, curved buckle of cut steel. In this same display I saw a charming toque of Nile green velvet with the brim bordered with ermine, and a rosette of velvet at one side holding a white dove's wing. In another shop is displayed as a piece par excellence a chic three-cornered shaped toque in black velvet lined with white silk and a rouleaux of black chenille. The crown has a border of mink, and a butterfly bow of black velvet caught with a twist of golden galloons. at the opera or there of a few of them wi out of place as it mi For the race wrap the popular color. chine embroidered gold seemed to be a scribe half a dozen in that the shape is straight cape, surm end cape descending length of the first. alone is embroidered having a thick ruchi seline de soie on the interior a rather de same. The lining of silk in shades of crea A nobby pompadour hat that attracts attention is of gray felt, trimmed with three golden brown ostrich tips directly in front and a rosette of gray velvet. A narrow band of sealskin is around the crown. A small toque of sealskin rolls high in front with pompoms of white and seal brown mousseline de soie. N trimmings in PARIS GO TO the Parisian shop for pretty novelties in all lines, and just now especially in the line of trimmings. The latest in this line are the combinations of printed panne or foulard. It is the prettiest when used in bands upon a plain material, and the bands edged on either side by a rouleau of velvet. To secure the best effect the velvet should be the exact shade of the cloth and the ground of the panne or foulard should be white with the design in any one of a dozen shades and colors. The printed pannes which are now being shown are unusually beautiful. As a rule, the ground color is of some very light shade or neutral tint, but the small cashmere designs are brought out in the brightest of colors and almost cover the ground. As a rule these designs are small, though at times one can see them in larger figures, and also where several shades and tints have been worked together harmoniously. Where the larger figures are used the pile of the plain TOLD IN CHURCH CIRCLES. The total income of the Church of England is about £200,030 a week. In a sailors' church in San Francisco the pulpit is a complete reproduction of the stern or a notel clipper ship, and after services on Sunday tea is provided for sailors who attend. One of the greatest difficulties encountered by medical missionaries in China is that patients, after receiving gratis a bottle of medicine, are apt to sell it to some one else for a trifle. NOVEL ideas in ground is often crushed into a design that runs between the variegated figure. A second novelty for trimming that is being extensively used is the relief galloon. It is made with a black or white ground and has a rich design in metallic threads of different colors. The designs formed by these threads do not lie flat on the ground, but are raised, and so stand out boldly. When the ordinary galloon is used it is applied rolled, the two sides caught together. For the latter method nothing but the wider varieties are being used, as it requires a galloon of some two inches in width to produce the desired effect. G ARMENTS worn at the PARIS races NOWHERE else in the world are the races so popular among the swell set as in Paris, and so long as the weather permits the fashionable woman displays her choice costumes at these places. She will wear the same garments later at the theater or on the driveways, but she prefers that they be first shown at the races. It is rather late in the season to write of even late fall styles, but as some of the handsome garments that were worn at the races within the past two or three weeks will be seen during the early winter THE HAT at the opera or theater a description of a few of them will not be so badly out of place as it might at first seem of a few of them will not be so badly out of place as it might at first seem. For the race wraps white has been the popular color. White crepe de chine embroidered in self-color and gold seemed to be a favorite. To describe half a dozen in one I would say that the shape is that of a long, straight cape, surmounted by a second cape descending to half the length of the first. The upper one alone is embroidered, the other one having a thick ruching of white mousseline de soie on the hem, and in the interior a rather deep flounce of the same. The lining of both is brocaded silk in shades of cream and flesh tints. The collar is high, with a row of white ostrich tips rolling over the top. The fur boas seen at the races show a marked tendency for a preference for entire skins with natural head and long, falling tails. The fox-gray, silver and black—are the favorites for this kind of wear. Another is called the white fox, though it is quite possible that it is a bleached skin, but it has many admirers. The late Henry W. Payne, of the Massachusetts bar, was once defending a charity case in which a boy of 15 was charged with arson. He made a strong case to prove the defendant an alibi. After a charge from the judge, which was practically an acquittal, the jury brought in a verdict of guilty. The judge asked Payne if he would move for a new trial. "I thank you for the suggestion," was the answer, "but I am oppressed with the gravest doubts whether I have the right to move for a new trial. Your honor. I have already asked for and received for my idiot client the most precious heritage of our English and American common law—a trial by a jury o' his peers." Uncle Allen. "My boy," counseled Uncle Allen Sparks, "always strive to be at the top of the heap. Especially you are in a game of football."—Chicago Tribune. QUESTIONS ASKED OCEAN STEAMER CAPTAINS.

What causes the fogs off the banks? What time do you get up in the morning? Do you know a good tailor in London? SADIE MERRITT. She Knew the Shape of the Hieroglyphs and Surprised Her Friends. A young woman at a watering place this summer made a reputation as a profound linguist in a rather odd man-r. She called one day at a Chinese laundry, where she had left a shirt waist, but it could not be found, as there was no entry in the book of hieroglyphics corresponding to her pink slip. After a half hour's search the Chinaman found the entry. A mistake had been made, the entry crossed out and a new set of hieroglyphics in tiny characters placed below. She was told that that waist would be laundered immediately, and she could have it the next day, says the Kansas City World. The next day the young woman called for it, accompanied by three other young women. At the seashore the excitement of a visit to the Chinese laundry is not to be despised. The Chinaman to whom the pink slip was presented was not the laundryman of the day before, and he experienced the same difficulty in finding the identifying characters, finally saying: "Not in book." The girl answered, calmly: "I can find it," and the Chinaman allowed her to take the book. Turning the leaves until she came to the one that had had an entry crossed out, with another in tiny characters under it, she handed it to the Chinaman. "There it is," and, to his surprise, he found it. "You only lady I know spik Chinese," he added. "You only lady I know spik Chinese," he said. And the other girls looked upon her with admiration.

Sometimes she is nearly overcome by faintness, dizziness, and palpitation of the heart; then that bearing-down feeling is dreadfully wearing. Her husband says, "Now, don't get the blues! You will be all right after you have taken the doctor's medicine." But she does not get all right.
