SMITH, Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE, Case Library Building, Cleveland, Ohio. Member Ohio Legislature, } 1894 to 1898 } 1900 to 1902 CLEVELAND. SATURDAY. APRIL 27, 1901. 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. A few republican daily newspapers in the north are very foolishly trying to "pull the wool" over the eyes of Afro-American republicans of this section of the country by denying that the McKinley administration is trying to build up the "lily-white" republican party of the south. They are wasting their time and effort. How do the Afro-American republican leaders of the south like the "stab in the back" the McKinley administration is giving them as a result of his effort to recognize the lily-white republicans of that section of the country? How do Fortune, of New York City; Barnett, of Chicago; Bishop Arnett, of Ohio, and the other northern brethren of color feel as a result of it? We predicted this very thing long ago. THE CONDITION NOT A VOLUN TARY CHOICE. The condition of no people is what it should be under adverse circumstances. Nor is an intelligent opinion necessarily correct, because it comes from an intelligent source. Repressing influences rather impair one's chances to express a free and unbiased thought. Yet President R. R. Wright contends that the Afro-American should have owned a mule and forty acres of land rather than the ballot. The restraints of unsafe environments make it quite apparent how easy it is for an Afro-American to adapt himself to force of circumstances. The president of the Georgia state industrial college is not in a position to express himself without fear or favor. He has adduced no moral argument in support of a position so untenable and he dare not attempt it. No moral right, and no just claim on the part of the Afro-American upon this government, can be invalidated by unjust discrimination. Since it is true that the condition of affairs in the south following the first five years after the war was in a chaotic state, let it be remembered that this condition was due immediately and directly to the fruits of an internecine struggle and not to the contest over reconstruction and the enfranchisement of the freedmen, for had said condition resulted from the above-named causes, that would afford no reason for withholding the ballot from the Negro. On the other hand, had the government done its full duty, and had the south kept faith with their own obligations, there would have been no cause of complaint or censure against the colored man. The fault is not with the Negro per se. Had the government been as faithful in guarding the rights and liberties of the black man as in shielding those of the white man, the opinion which now obtains touching the wisdom of reconstruction need not be called in question. In fact, the whole contention turns to the theory and judgment of our government in its dealing with the practices of this nation and not upon the Negro in his helplessness and repressed state. Liberty is the soul of a people and any restriction in the exercise of personal privileges only degrade and demoralize the individual. Nothing that is calculated to elevate one people can prove hurtful to the other. What is good for one in its broadest or narrowest sense is good for another. We constitute a government of the people and the realtrouble may be found in the fact that the stronger element is concerned too much in fostering invidious distinctions. President Wright has adduced no argument beyond that of an uncandid and patronizing opinion. It is not a question as to what the Negro should have done or might have done, but it bears directly upon what advantages and opportunities were afforded him to accomplish results favorable to his untried condition. The ballot to-day is a most essential power in enabling the Afro-American to assert and enjoy his freedom and, as goes the drift of public sentiment, these too may be found by the Afro-American. Instinctively he follows in the same line of duty and action in rehabilitating and recuperating the growth and powers of the government as does the white man. The better and right way is the safe way, let justice be done at any cost or peril. SEEK PROMOTION IN THE REGULAR ARMY. It is worthy of interest to every young Afro-American, who desires to enter the American army to consider his country's claims and his claims upon his country. Those claims are never more forcibly accentuated as when he identifies himself in every trial and conflict to maintain the honor and integrity of the nation. Aside from whatever effort may be put forth on the part of Anglo-Americans to prove their patriotism and devotion to their country, the Afro-American should more especially avail himself of every opportunity to make common cause with the citizens of the republic. The Anglo-American sees glory and triumph before him. The Afro-American may claim as much for himself, may signalize his life in feats of noble daring and enroll his name with the greatest of American heroes. Strong in every alliance and fearless in battle, he surrenders life for the jewel of liberty. But struggling against those proscriptive influences, which he is yet to overcome, he finds it imperatively necessary that he shall lose no occasion to improve and enhance the glory of our institutions. The bill recently passed in congress which provides for an increase in the army, calls for both officers and enlisted men. The Afro-American more than ever should offer a ready and prompt response. In doing this, he makes valid his title to every immunity and privilege of our government, and indemnifies the race against loss or questionable right. But our right to enter the army is not in question, it is only a matter of wisdom. We need to utilize this right and to enhance it to every possible advantage, that the greatest possible good may redound to our cause. We seek the honors and glory of our country and we contend for the last vestige of right. Then let us qualify ourselves for every duty, dare where Anglo-Americans venture and prove ourselves the peers of the noblest brave men. Out of the 2556 commissioned officers in the regular army, we have only six Afro-Americans filling these places. We want young men to aspire to these positions and rest not till we offer a better showing for ourselves than at present. Let them seek through their congressman this right, prepare and go into the examination to win. English grammar, arithmetic, algebra, geography, United States history, constitutional and international law are the test branches for examination, and the applicant of ordinary ability and proficiency in a knowledge of these branches has only to do as when passing on to a higher grade. Let there be no caviling in this matter. The young man who hopes for higher honors must aspire to them. Promotion is the glory of him who would succeed and we would urge the agitation of this question and invoke the aid and influence of the Afro-American press in bringing about a powerful awakening to the consummation of this end. Scores and scores of young men of the race are yearning for promotion in the regular army. Let the contest begin and let it go on, till we have won. PETER JACKSON DYING. Noted Colored Pugilist Suffering From Consumption in Australia-An Appeal for Aid. New York City.—It is not thought that Peter Jackson will ever return to America again, as was reported. According to the letter received in this city by Sam Fitzpatrick from Australia the noted heavyweight pugilist is slowly dying of consumption at Sydney. "The big fellow is only a shadow of his former self," Fitzpatrick's informant writes, "He is so weak and helpless that it is hard for him to move to and fro without difficulty. When he arrived here from America Peter was sick. He looked pretty bad, but soon began to pick up. He opened a boxing school, but he was not as strong as of old and naturally had to abandon it. We got up a bene fit for him and this helped him out trifle. He has been unable to work since and the money soon went. "Jackson is stone broke and has to depend on the charity of his friends to live. He was examined the other day and the physician said that his case was hopeless. I wish that you could use your influence and have some of his American friends know of his condition. It would be a great act to ask them to aid him, as he surely needs it. Boxing is on the wane in Australia, owing to the death of heavyweights. We have a few good featherweights and light-weights, notable Sam Cohen. He is a good one and clever." "A Thousand Years." Hamilton, O.—Rev. W. H. Coleman, of Lockland, attended quarterly meeting at the A. M. E. church last Sunday and preached two excellent sermons. Rev. Dickerson, P.

She should be encouraged in her effort. Order The Gazette and take it every week. "Color Line" in National Republican Politics. Charlotte, N. C.—At a banquet here last week in honor of Senator McLaurin, of South Carolina, he delivered an address, which is generally conceded to have been inspired by a desire, in various quarters of the south, not only to eliminate the Negro vote, but to co-operate with President McKinley and Mark Hanna in organizing a white republican party in the south. Senator McLaurin's speech was all that had been expected by southerners, who believe that McKinley is cutting loose from the old (particularly the colored) republican leaders in the south.

No.49 THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1901. BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA. King of all Hair Tonics, " OZONO. " BEFORE. AFTER. 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 Topics 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.

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.

Dorsed by leading Spiritualists everywhere; received from them a gold medal and special license to practice his wonderful powers; credentials no one else can show; can give thousands of references to both white and colored patrons. Twenty-five years practice—seven years of experience; can do all he tells of. Can tell you what business you for you and where. Can tell you how to win speedy marriage with one you love. How to be successful in all you doings, in short what is best to do. Her succeeds when all others fail. Positive help and satisfaction or no pay. Call and see. You will find it lucky to be successful and find a gentleman. He has a medicine that will cure drunkenness; can be given patients not knowing it. Thousands through him are now Rich, Happy and Successful in all their undertakings, while those who neglect this advice are still laboring against poverty and inequality. The edge of chemistry he can impart to you a secret that will overcome your enemies and win you friends. His aid and advice have often been solicited: the result has always been the securing of speedy and happy marriage and love. In love affairs he never fails. He has the secret of winning the affections of the opposite sex. It is the curse of Spiritualism that in all large cities there are a class of men and women who claim powers they do not possess. They have neither gifts, credentials nor references. Surely the colored people are not so wanting in sense as to throw their time and money away on such. DR SHEA refers to the Hon. Charles W. Drew, the avenue; the Hon. Wm. Denmore, architect and builder; the Cleveland av. and Arthur Sewell, ship builder, South Brooklyn. All have known him for the past seven years. He gives a free test of his power to all. The Doctor has practiced five years in New Orleans, St. Louis, Memphis and Louisville; understands thoroughly the diseases, spells or influences the race is subject to. He is now and always has been a true friend to the colored people and always had a large patronage from them. "BROOKLYN, June 3, 1892.--This is to certify I came to New York from Albany.

He is home now; came back like one from the dead. I also wish to say that this month I lost the sum of $2.00. I will be very sorry.

THE POPULAR VOTE PLAN Decidedly Preferable-The Old Convention Plan Hotten to the Core-Bossism and Machincism Flourish Under It. HARRY C. SMITH. "Don't Laugh," Says Bryan. Lincoln, Neb.—W. J. Bryan said in the Commoner last week: "Many people smile when Mark Hanna is suggested as the possible republican nominee in 1904; but there is no real occasion for these smiles. "Mark Hanna is the best possible representative of the republican party as at present constituted. His ideas are entirely out of harmony with the ideal of the founders of the republican party, and yet he has brought that party to his way of thinking. "He has shattered traditional notions, he has forced many republican leaders into the background, and he is, to-day, the master of the republican party. This is not exaggeration. It is statement of very apparent facts. Why should the republicans hesitate to put forward the man most truly typical of modern republicanism?" New Brighton, Pa., Brevities. Rev. I. B.

MABEL GOOKIN After years of struggle to attain and merit public confidence, with a firm and steadfast belief that some day others would recognize in us the truth, good faith, and honesty of purpose which we know we possess, what a genuine satisfaction it is to succeed, and to realize the uplifting influence of the merited confidence of a vast army of our fellow beings. Thus stands the Pinkham name in New England, and all over America, and nowhere is the faith in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound greater than in New England, its home. Merit, and merit alone, can gain this. If Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will cure these women — why not you — you cannot tell until you try it. If you are ill, and really want to get well, commence its use at once, and do not let any drug clerk persuade you that he has something of his own which is better, for that is absurd. Ask him to produce the evidence we do.

"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM: I was troubled very badly with inflammation of the bladder, was sick in bed with it. I had two doctors, but they did me no good. A friend gave me Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it helped me. I have now taken three bottles of it, and I am entirely cured. It is a God-send to any woman, and I would recommend it to any one suffering as I was. I think, if most of the women would take more of your medicine instead of going to the doctors, they would be better off. The Compound has also cured my husband of kidney trouble." MRS. MABEL GOOKIN. Box 160. Mechanic Falls, Maine NERVOUS PROSTRATION. "For two years I suffered from nervous prostration, the result of female weakness. I had leucorrhoea very badly, and at time of menstruation would be obliged to go to bed. Also suffered with headaches, pain across back, and in lower part of abdomen. I was so discouraged. I had read of Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound, and concluded to give it a trial. I wrote to Mrs. Pinkham, and received a very nice letter in return. I began at once the use of her Vegetable Compound and Blood Purifier, and am now feeling splendid. I have no more pain at monthly periods, can do my own work, and have gained ten pounds. I would not be without your Vegetable Compound. It is a splendid medicine. I am very thankful for what ithas done for me." —Mrs. J. W. J., 76 Carolina Ave., Jamaica Plain, Mass. His Voiceless Grief.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1901. A Most Creditable Organization--Per- Pittsburg, Pa.—Mr. Henry Taylor, advertising solicitor of The Gazette, paid a couple of visits to our city last Tuesday and Wednesday and was met and chaperoned about town by that whoiesome, good-natured and jovial gentleman, Mr. W. H. Jones, of Wylie avenue, who is geniality itself. Mr. Taylor attended the rendition of the cantata of Ruth at Carnegie hall Tuesday night by Avery Choral Union for the benefit of the Home for Aged and Infinf Afro-Americans. He was enthusiastic in sounding its praises—the various solos, the chorus, the superb playing of the orchestra and the splendid audience of nearly 1,000 ladies and gentlemen. On his return trip from Steubeville, Mr. Jones again took Mr. Taylor in charge, escorted him to the fine drug store of Dr. Jennings and Brown on Wylie avenue and to the famous Leondi Social and Literary club rooms. This club is conducted upon a thoroughly intelligent basis and is indeed a most creditable organization. His treatment while visiting it was so much above the ordinary that it will for many years be a most pleasing impression. Mr. Taylor was in the care of the organization's secretary, Mr. W. N. Page, and W. H. Jones while visiting at the Leondi. The mere statement of this fact is sufficient information for those who reside here and in western Pennsylvania, where they are well and favorably known. Mr. Taylor returned to Cleveland last week Thursday morning and will again visit this city at an early date, accompanied by the editor of The Gazette. The Finney Orchestra Concert and fall. The reception given Finney's famous orchestra of Detroit at Forest Street armory last Monday evening was beyond the expectations of the most sanguine. The fourth annual concert and ball under the direction of Mr. James Yates Gilliam places that getleman in the front rank as a manager and entertainment provider. The crowd present was the largest that has ever attended any social event of our people in that large hall. This was due entirely to the wise management of Mr. Gilliam, who knows how to advertise, and does that very thing thoroughly as the large and numerous advertisements in the columns of The Gazette every week for many weeks past attest. The numbers by the orchestra were well rendered, every instrument blending in perfect harmony, reflecting great credit upon Mr. Fred S. Stone, musical director, and every number, "The Cavalry Charge," deserves special mention, and was most liberally applauded. Hon. Harry C. Smith made a few announcements and remarks, and was cordially received. Mr. A. H. Bowman was unavoidably detained at a previous enengagement and could not be present as announced on the programme. The solo by Madame Beulah Griffin-West secured for her a most pronounced recall, to which she responded very happily. In his whistling solo Mr. J. W. Wills exhibited a remarkable ability, which was enthusiastically acknowledged. Mr. Benj. Shook was slightly hampered in his rendition of "The Holy City" by a severe cold, but the applause given him showed that the audience was well pleased. Mr. John Ward's trombone solo as well as the work of Harry A. Williams and Harry L. Freeman as accompanies, was good. The ball followed—23 numbers, opening with a grand march led by Mr. Frank Mallory and under the direction of Prof. Sterrett. It was cleverness and beauty combined. The crowd was so great that until the early hours of the morning it was indeed a sight. The orchestra's playing was encored until the close. Messrs. W. J. Cossey and J. A. Sterrett were floor managers and Messrs. Tarrer and Thomas caterers. The League's Convention.

The officers of the bank impose unlimited confidence in Mr. Parker, frequently sending him to Pittsburg with large amounts of cash valuable papers, etc. IDEAS OF HUMOR CHANGE. Comicalities Relished a Generation Ago Are Now Regarded as Very Stupid. There appears to have been a vast change in the pictorial work of the humorous periodicals in the last few years, so much so, in fact, that the humorous ideal seems to have been shifted. A few years ago the illustrations in a certain class of these papers were almost invariably of some artistic merit in a serious though often unmeaning way; now they are, for the most part, grotesque and broadly comic. Before the "joke" was to be found in the text beneath the picture. Now it is in the picture itself and often the text is dispensed with altogether. Most of the humorous papers still retain one or two artists whose work is of the finer order, as a connecting link between the old manner and the new and in order that he may furnish a slight counterpoise to the comic preponderance. But the man whose wares are most readily accepted and which command the highest figure is the caricaturist or the "original," who has discovered some distorted point of view of things. Their pictures amuse in themselves and the text, if text there be, is a factitious aid, says the New York Post. A New York artist who used to command a comfortable living by drawing for the humorous papers comments rather ruefully on this change in style. "Have you observed," he said, "that the 'he and she' picture has gone the way of all flesh? There is no market for it now. I used to support myself doing 'he and she' pictures and nothing else. They would take as many of them as I cared to draw. All that I had to do was to put a man and a woman on a bench or a sofa or strolling down a shady lane, or sitting on the seashore, and their funny men did the rest. I would not know what joke was going with the picture until I saw it in the paper. The jokes were always 'He'—then his remark, and 'She'—and her reply. That is the way this type of picture got its name. "Finally, however, the editors of these papers drew the artistic reins tighter. They said that there was nothing in the expressions of the 'he' and 'she' to indicate that they were saying the lines the funny man had given them. Sometimes, you see, I would have a man leaning carelessly over the back of a rustic seat smiling down at a girl, while, according to the lines, she was giving him the 'mitten.' The members of the 'he and she' school were gradually crowded out by the 'comics' and if they could not adapt themselves to the new style had to seek other fields. Of course I do not mean to say there are no more 'he and she' pictures in the comic papers. They will appear, but you will observe that they are not only very well done from an artistic point of view, but that the action in them squares with the sense of the lines beneath. "What is the reason for this change in the humorous papers?" echoed the artist to a question. "Well, it would be hard to say. It is more than a fashion, I think. Call it rather an evolution. One reason, I believe, is the great improvement in the last few years of the illustrations in the serious months and weeklies. The public sees so much excellent pictorial work in these nowadays that it would be surfeited if it found this work in the comic papers too. They turn to them for the 'funny' pictures." A Test of Sanity. A gentleman was once being taken over an idiot asylum. He asked an attendant how they knew when an idiot was considered to be sufficiently restored to sanity to be discharged. "Oh," said the attendant, "it is easily managed. We take them into a yard where there are several troughs. We turn on the taps and then give the idiots buckets to bail out the water and empty the troughs. Many of them keep bailing away while the taps keeps running, but them that isn't idiots stops the tap."—Tit-Bits.

A pedler who was in the habit of visiting the various offices in a large down-town building at regular intervals with a patent shoe-polish was making his rounds one day as usual, when an occupant of one of the rooms said to him: "Say, you've been coming here for about six years. Twice a year I buy a box of your polish, and never any oftener. Six weeks ago you sold me one, and it will last me nearly five months yet; and still you drop in regularly every week to ask me if I don't want another box. You know I don't. What do you do it for?" "I thought maybe you'd git sort o' shamed of usin' so little shoe-polish after awhile, and 'd buy a box now an' then as a matter o' pride," answered the pedler taking the precaution to edge toward the door as he spoke. But he sold that man another box of polish there and then—Youth's Companion. All's Well That Ends Well "Ah. Gwendolynne," exclaimed the impassioned but somewhat obscene author, "marry me!

Prominent members of the clergy are giving Peruna their unqualified endorsement. These men find Peruna especially adapted to preserve them from catarrh of the vocal organs which has always been the bane of public speakers, and general catarrhal debility incident to the sedentary life of the clergyman. Among the recent utterances of noted clergymen on the curative virtues of Peruna is the following one from Bishop James A. Handy, D. D., of Baltimore: "I take great pleasure in acknowledging the curative effects of Peruna.

Four bottles completely cured me of catarrh of the head of several years' standing, and if my husband feels badly, or either of us catch cold, we at once take Peruna, and in a day or two it has thrown the sickness out of the system."—Mrs. Frederick Williams. "I have had frequent opportunities to observe the wonderful curative effects of Peruna especially on persons suffering with a congested condition of the head, lungs, and stomach, generally called catarrh. It alleviates pain and soreness, increases the appetite and so tones up the entire system that the patient quickly regains strength and health."—Mrs. W. A. Allison.

He is a well man to-day, thanks to you and Peruna. He took six bottles of your medicine as directed, and it proved to be just the thing for him. His appetite is good and every thing he eats seems to agree with him. His cough has left him and he is gaining in flesh, and seems to be well every way.
