F. HOPKINSON SMITH AGAIN. It is hardly necessary that comment should be offered further touching the idiosyncrasy of F. Hopkinson Smith in regard to the effect of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in bringing about the late civil war. True enough, the war ended, Mrs. Stowe is dead and so is Uncle Tom, as has been said. But nearly half a century after all has been said and done, Hopkinson Smith makes the astounding revelation that Mrs. Stowe helped to do just what should have been avoided. The opinion which Mr. Smith advances is a mistaken one most assuredly. Mrs. Stowe, as an individual, did her own thinking. The people did theirs and they acted upon it. Besides this fact "Uncle Tom's Cabin" appeared long before the war, a thing which Mr. Smith stubbornly ignores. Then again he begs the question in the allegation he makes that Mrs. Stowe did not carefully study the situation in the south; yet who understood it better or what makes Hopkinson Smith a better judge? Whether Mrs. Stowe gathered her material from runaway Negroes, who in nine cases out of ten had been abused because their conduct laid them open to it, does not change the truth of the story as told by her. The terrible evil of slavery was upon the country and its continuance was the source of perpetual danger to our growing institutions. It admitted of neither toleration nor palliation, and it were better that slavery should die when it did than survive to infest the life blood of the nation. A thousand times better that war did come than that slavery should live to despoil humanity, and like the leprosy, poison and ingraft itself into the whole social system. Hopkinson Smith is at fault in his knowledge of morals and history. He is not as good as some Negroes, yet for them he advocates gradual emancipation upon the ground that it were better than leave them helpless and untutored, unable to support themselves, to qualify for citizenship or to educate themselves. But the evidence is at hand that they have done marvelously well, even through themselves. Many of them are far more successful as public lecturers than Mr. Smith. He ignores the fact that they have done well on account of emancipation, still urging his theory of emancipation. Mr. Smith seems blind to his own fallacies while he labors to win notoriety. A DESPERATE BLOW. The Associated Press dispatch sent out recently from Evansville, Ind., a slandering and exciting account intended ostensibly to reflect damagingly upon what is termed the "Negro of the North." The charge comes from Evansville, a town notorious for its wicked persecution of the Afro-American not only prior to the civil war, but during and since the war. Indiana was long known for its black laws and its murderous treatment of the poor blacks, even in its best showing. It was the hotbed for the most shameful iniquities in every period of its history. It mobbed Frederick Douglass and drove him from the state because he exercised the right of free speech. It was long known as the mother of copperheads and butternuts, doing violence to every loyal and sympathizing friend of the Union. It mobbed and drove peaceable white citizens from their homes because they encouraged the enlistment of colored soldiers for the Union army. With unmatched virulence it hounded innocent Negro farmers from their country homes because they furnished from Vigo county horses and provisions for the army of the west. Indiana burnt and destroyed Afro-American school houses and churches in time of the war, and Gov. Morton was forced to send armed men to maintain the peace of the district. Indiana has long been the very hades of the northwest in its death-dealing persecutions of the colored man. The whole country has suffered from the ill behavior of Hoosierdom in its inordinate and unmanageable malignity toward the blacks within its confines. The shame is that Indiana has not been placed under martial law to keep the peace of the country. No people to-day know better than they how well-behaved Afro-Americans have been assaulted for simply passing through the state. School teachers, ministers and bishops have been set upon and beaten for merely being seen in some of the country towns. Even now in many parts of the state colored citizens are not allowed toarry. We know whereof we speak, for what our eyes have seen and our hearts have felt cannot be disputed. Indiana is a barbarous state, evincing in its dealings toward the colored people a most revolting and un pardonable criminality. Let the Associated Press seek not to conjure up untenable fabrications which will not stand the test. We grant that there are in Indiana some of the best people known to the country. Her savants and great men have reflected the growing sentiment of the better element. But what of Evansville? The history of this little town is known from the lakes to the gulf. Some of the hardest white toughs that ever lived are found in Evansville. They regarded neither the law nor the lives of Negroes, and thus the spirit of resentment and self-protection has been aroused. Blood is thicker than water and the authorities ordered the arrest of every colored man in Evansville who could not produce a reasonable voucher for his standing. Why this discrimination against Afro-American citizens? Shame on Indiana, and doubly be the shame on American religion and American civilization. Evansville is one of the oldest towns in the state and yet in population, in trade, in commerce and in business enterprises Evansville has done comparatively little in keeping with her opportunities. Chicago has grown, while Evansville has lost. And why has Evansville lagged in the race with our more flourishing cities; because her citizens have wasted their time in hounding and persecuting the poor Afro-American, and such is the record borne of this city for more than half a century. Indiana is hardly noted for fine schools and churches, as the more prosperous states of the Union, because her people have been too busy venting their unhallowed spleen upon the poor and the despised Afro-American. Afro-Americans have long been the prey of the vengeful and illiterate whites of that state. They share in all the fiery bitterness of that Negro-hating element who have so long fostered the idea that a slave was no more than a brute. The white toughs of Evansville have long made the Afro-American the victim of his hate, and because he dares resent the wrongs imposed upon him, he is arrested and placed upon the chain-gang and the rock pile as a convict. In justice to fair play and right dealing, we protest against the outrage. RESPECT FOR THE AGED. There is a measure of respect that is due all persons, the humblest as well as the most exalted, and it must come from individuals of whatever race or nationality. He who professes any regard for the ordinary courtesies of life must prove himself an anomoly indeed not to consider the claims of others upon society. Every man, if he be a gentleman, owes it to our advancing civilization and owes it to himself to respect the amenities of his neighbor and the obligations of society. No man liveth to himself and no man dieth to himself, but whatsoever he would, that should be done unto him; so must he render unto others. Genuine politeness is synonymous with a warm human kindness and it is no respecter of person. The individual who indulges in the merest antipathy or discrimination has rather a narrow conception as to those nice proprieties which adorn individual characters. Our highest sense and duty impose at all times respect for the aged. Especially should the man of letters and refinement exemplify those traits and manners which shall mold and fashion the habits of the young. Young people, who, though they come of good families, are oftimes sadly wanting in those amenities and courtesies which are due their seniors. In short, the coarse and uncouth address so often observed in the careless habits of youth is evidence that at best we share too much in the rude and the vulgar. In other words, we assume to be what we are not, impressing others with no show of sincerity while we offer ourselves as paragons of excellence and models in the art of politeness. We note then very especially that failure in the practice of becoming manners on the part of grown people makes it quite possible for the young to be disrespectful to those who have a right to expect better of them. They are the hopes of our race and country and unless the youth are trained to regard their own obligation to observe and practice those courtesies which are the dictates of common sense, society must lose and the cause of the race must suffer. It is an easy matter to treat with contempt the most needful demands of good breeding, but it must be conceded that they are the highest essentials to a successful and happy life. While Washington and Chesterfield are to-day regarded as the acknowledged standards in polite learning, it will be remembered that P. B. S. Pinchback, B. K. Bruce and the accomplished Charles L. Reason were notably par excellent examples for any race in those ennobling virtues which dignify and beautify character. Genuine courage is a sustaining element of true politeness. The courage of conviction is the highest incentive to conscious duty and refined demeanor. The act of Roscoe Conkling in escorting B. K. Bruce to the speaker's desk of the United States senate was a graceful mark of the courage of the man, as well as conclusive evidence of the most exceptional sense of propriety. Conkling was the man of the hour and he dared to meet it. But the feeling of human kindness and the respect for the aged is always in order and always due. At a recent conference of white ministers in South Carolina, more than a hundred members rose and stood with uncovered heads while an aged colored minister of a hundred years passed up to the altar to invoke divine blessing. Such a demonstration but proves the fitness and tendency of an educated ministry in the propagation of the best thought in its appropriateness to conditions and circumstances. We plead for the fullest measure of respect for our seniors and our superiors, but we would enjoin respect and THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 30, 1901. consideration for the claims of all women, and he who cannot pay tribute to the gentler sex is wanting in the attributes of the soul which allies man with divinity. Lastly, we respect ourselves only in proportion to that respect which we show toward others. No individual who proves himself coarse, insulting and vulgar regardless of others need expect to enjoy the esteem of good and intelligent people. The practice of thoughtfulness with that of a mild and amiable disposition inspires the desire to deserve the approbation of all men. We may desire the regard and esteem of the good and the wise, but to merit them we must reciprocate the courtesies and kindnesses of men, respect the aged most especially and mutualize our most cherished hopes with man's best desires and labor to bless all men.

King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO." Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics. OZONO. which is sold with an iron-clad guarantee to do all that is claimed for it, or we will forfeit $50.00. Now, we ask you a plain question—would we absolutely agree to forfeit $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with our preparations, if they were not true to all we claim for them? We have advertised for several years under this guarantee, and we are glad to say that every one who has used Ozono has been satisfied in every respect. 20,000 people are to-day using our preparations, and every purchaser recommends Ozono as the King of all Hair Tonics. Ozono will positively take the Kinks out of Knotty, Kinky, Harsh, Curly, Refractory, Troublesome Hair. It will make short, harsh hair long and straight. It will cure your head of all itching, worrying scalp diseases. Itch, Eczema, Dandruff, and Scurf can not live after Ozono has been applied. It will stop your hair from falling out. It will restore gray hair to its natural color, making the hair long and soft. Now, right here, let us make a statement. Many firms are advertising remedies to straighten hair, but when they send the preparation they tell you to use hot irons. Friends, do not use hot irons; they will burn up the life of the hair, and cause it to drop out. Ozono straightens without any outside assistance. Nothing but Ozono is necessary, and the hair stays straight forever. You can stop the use at any time. The good effects on the hair are seen in a day or two after the first application. The price of Ozone is 50c. a bottle-4 boxes do the work.

There is a pobapily that Ed Ruthven’s sentence will be commuted from death penalty to life imprison- ment by the state board of pardons. ‘The Heeney verdict has had the ef- fect in Columbus of arousing sym- pathy for Ruthven among peuitenti- ary officials and others. They say that if Heeney, a confessed murderer, is guilty in the second degree, Ruth- ven ought tobe treated with as much consideration. Ruthven is well edu- cated, gentlemanly and bright in con- versation, and his jailers have taken a great liking to him. His fearless- ness aroused admiration, notwith- standing he used it to shoot his way out of the clutches of officers. Co- jumbus men are giving him aid in his effort to have the sentence changed.

A Noted Boston Woman Describes its Symptoms and Terrors.—Two Severe Cases Cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. ADELE WILLIAMSON. "I am so nervous! no one ever suffered as I do! There isn't a well inch in my body. I honestly believe my lungs are diseased, my chest pains me so, but I have no cough. I am so weak at my stomach, and have indigestion terribly, and palpitation of the heart; am losing rlesh; and this headache and backache nearly kills me, and yesterday I had hysterics.

Present a Brilliant Spectacle If the Weather Permits Some Hats and Gowns for Wear on Easter Sunday NEW YORK boulevards will be brilliant with an array of fashionably dressed men and women on Easter Sunday should the weather prove propitious. The Easter display promises to this year be even more gorgeous than is usual, though there will be a considerable sprinkling of somber tones in the fashionable toilettes, worn, no doubt, as a mark of respect to England's late queen, for whom New York mourns out of sympathy for London quite as much as for the queen herself. With the men's clothing we have nothing to do, it is prosaic and uninteresting as men's clothing always is, but the gowns and hats and wraps of the women are not so easily disposed of, nor do we wish to dispose of them in so easy a manner. Some of the hats that will be seen BORN OF THE MASTER THREE STYLES OF THE EASTER HAT. are of what the everyday woman would call the plain and sensible styles, and others will be of the immense Gainsborough order, trimmed with flowers or with cut or applique garlands, and the colors of the brightest hues. One conspicuous and yet pretty hat that will be worn is a large one of black and white braid, tilted up high directly in front, and wound with blue ribbon. Huge bunches of blue roses, and a large black velvet bow with buckle of gems directly in front. The crown is veiled with fine black net over blue taffeta. Another hat of the large variety is a broad white affair of white French A NOVELTY GOWN FOR EASTER. straw. The brim is edged with a silk lace, and the crown is covered with garlands of pink roses and veiled with white silk net at one side, and a mass of green leaves, with a cascade of the lace brought in and out. A third hat on the novelty order is of black mousseline de soie in wee tucks, with rows of black velvet between. At the left side, where the hat is tilted, there is a huge bunch of white rosebuds, and another bunch at the right side of the low crown. Of the charming novelty gowns one that is most attractive is of pearl gray cloth, trimmed with stitched bands of turquoise blue taffeta, edged with a narrow gold braid. The skirt has a plain panel front, with wide strapping of the turquoise blue taffeta just below the hips, extending down the front on each side of a panel, and around the bottom of the skirt, with another similar strapping OF ENGLISH MAKE.

Possibilities of a Change in Men's Attire in England SOME months will yet elapse before the official coronation of King Edward VII. as king of Great Britain and Ireland and emperor of India, but it is not yet too early for New York to begin to take an interest in the affair. Many New York society people are planning to be in London at that time, and among them many who were friends of King Edward when he was prince of Wales.

These same friends (?) are watching eagerly for hints as to the costumes that will be worn at this time, and the suggestion comes to them from London with something of a shock that the men will for the occasion return to the brilliant colorings of the Carolean period. Not only is there a prediction as to these colorings, but with it comes a suggestion of silks and satins, laces and velvets as materials for masculine clothing. One English journal in commenting on this probable revival of a style that has long since been buried with the effeminate array of those days, says: "Certainly modern masculine attire cannot be described as beautiful, and it is quite possible to imagine garb more pleasing to the eye than that to which man has been doomed by conventionality and latter-day fashions. At the same time one cannot but think that as the hour brings the man, so the garb is fitted in this case to the wearer. Nothing is more desirable than the revival of the picturesque and the restoration of pageantry which the new reign is evidently to bring about, and we pleasurably look forward to scenes of great splendor whenever occasion presents itself for the display of beautiful costumes. At the same time it is scarcely to be believed that the Englishman will readily adopt for himself a garb which can be described as picturesque. The gorgeous clothing of the Carolean period would not attune with the character of the men of to-day; and however pleasing to the eye it might be to see our "lords and masters" in silks and satins, velvets and laces, our sense of the fitness of things would rebel against blunt, manly John Bull in such effeminate array. That he may display an occasional fancy for bright waistcoats, and give way a little in the matter of ties is as well; but it would not be to the advantage of the nation that its men should revert to fashions which suggest effeminacy and affectation, and, moreover, to be eminently practical, which are thoroughly unsuited to our climate and pursuits."

Indian Reservations and Other New Districts to Be Opened Up This Year. In the Great Saskatchewan Valley and the Fertile Plains of Assiniboia. To the Editor. Dear Sir: The past three or four years have demonstrated to a large number of Americans the value of the grain-growing and ranching lands of western Canada. Tens of thousands have taken advantage of the offer made by the Canadian government as well as of the exceedingly low prices asked for lands by the railway, colonization and other companies. The experience of those who have been settled there for some little time is of a highly gratifying character. So much so that the Canadian government, who has control of the immigration into western Canada, has decided to open up some new districts this year in the well-known Saskatchewan valley, and also in the fertile plains of Assiniboia. These districts are probably the most productive in the entire west and in close touch to largely settled communities, as well as being situated on some of the most important lines of railway. They are within easy reach of markets, schools, churches and other social advantages. In some of these districts lands may be homesteaded as well as purchased outright at very low prices. Now as to what can be done on these lands. The evidence of the settlers in the neighborhood of the lands now about to be opened for settlement (some of them being located in one of the best Indian reservations) goes to show that the very best results have followed even most indifferent methods. Cases are given where farmers having gone there with most limited means, barely enough to erect a small house and break up a little land, have in three or four years' time become prosperous, all debts paid and money in the bank. The soil in the districts mentioned, Assiniboia and Saskatchewan, is a rich black loam, 15 inches to three feet deep. As a settler says: "It appears like the accumulation of decayed vegetation and ashes for centuries (the subsoil is a stiff putty clay)." On this soil it is possible to raise from 40 to 50 bushels of wheat to the acre; oats, 75 to 100 bushels, all of which bring good prices at the local market. For mixed farming these new districts are probably among the best in western Canada. Stock fatten easily on the wild grasses. Hay is plentiful, and prices splendid. Another settler writing to a friend in Iowa says: "The climate is all that could be desired, plenty of rainfall in summer, with no hot, dry winds. On the 28th of September I saw prairie flowers in full bloom, sweet corn, potato and tomato vines that had not been touched a particle with frost, and the winters are milder than those in the state from which I came. After the holidays the winter sets in clear and cold, with plenty of snow for good sleighing; no high winds or blizzards are known. Horses live out all winter and pick their own living, while cattle live all winter in open sheds and around the hay ricks. Wheat, oats and barley are the principal grain crops. Potatoes and all other roots and vegetables do well, the yield being enormous as compared to those in the states. Wild fruits, such as strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, gooseberries and all varieties of currants yield in abundance. As a reader of your valuable paper for a number of years, I feel that I should inform you of the progress and advancement being made in Canada within the past few years and the inducements and advantages that will follow settlement in western Canada. Those who desire information can do as I did, and apply to any agent of the Canadian government, whose name, I see, appears in advertisements appearing elsewhere in the columns of your paper, and when writing ask particularly about the Saskatchewan Valley or Assiniboia Districts. Yours truly, President John Quincy Adams once asserted that he "would not give 50 cents for all the works of Phidias or Praxiteles;" adding, that he "hoped that America would not think of sculpture for two centuries to come." On hearing of this, William Morris Hunt, the foremost American painter of his day, dryly inquired: "Does that sum of money really represent Mr. Adams' estimate of the sculpture of those artists, or the value which he placed upon 50 cents?"—San Francisco Argonaut. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.
