ALL TRADE PRINTING COUNCIL TRADE SCHOOL CLEVELAND CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPT. 7, 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. OUR BOYS IN THE SOUTH DENIED THE RIGHT TO EARN BREAD. Afro-Americans do not discriminate against Anglo-Americans either in business or otherwise. They do many things for necessity and not for choice, but they are neither offensive nor aggressive. They are the most liberal, catholic and obliging people in the world. As proprietor or benefactor they distribute their patronage to white and colored alike. As much as may be said of the ingratitude and selfishness of the race, these are common to all races; but they are the exception to the Afro-American. He may forget a kindness and he may betray a most cruel and unfeeling resentment, but human kindness is an inate and universal principle of his nature, which make it quite impossible for him to discriminate against poor, struggling humanity, no matter under what skin it may be clothed. A sad and strange incongruity presents itself when we find the poor Afro-American wearing upon his brow the brand of prosecution. Upon every street and every alley and avenue discrimination, fierce and heart-rending, confronts him. It is all wrong and it is unpardonably wrong. Our boys in several southern cities who have been carrying and distributing papers to earn a livelihood have been cut off; cut off because of their racial identity. Denied the privilege of earning bread, denied the right of sustaining life, whoever heard of Afro-Americans trying to drive white people to hunger and starvation? There is a lesson in this dealing, there is something to be gained. Let not our brave and industrious boys despair in achieving success. The Afro-American press is now well known to the country. Let every boy, whether white or black, who means to live and accomplish something in this world, apply to the race press and to those managers who will furnish them papers, and let them doubly dare and dare to do more in the distribution of those journals which admit of no discrimination on account of color. "EQUAL RIGHTS TO ALL MEN AND SPECIAL PRIVILEGES TO NONE." The most disgusting and hypocritical doctrine proclaimed to the ear of the American people to-day is that so oft enunciated by public speakers from the rostrum in time of heated campaigns, "Equal Rights to All Men and Special Privileges to None." From the lakes to the gulf and from either shore, democratic leaders dwelt upon this doctrine with a gravity and solemnity that would seem to express the reality of the soul's utterance. But when it is remembered that this doctrine is almost universally ignored by the very men who feign to be its advocates, we are forced to the conclusion that political manipulation has taken the place of statesmanship and things are not what they seem. The constitution, the declaration, the Bible and God are all held in shameful abeyance, while the most unblushing falsehoods are propagated with daring effect to deluded millions. With a presumption that is at once revolting to sense and reason, we hear this doctrine proclaimed and amplified by the great apostles of democracy who in their very souls know that it is all hollow mockery of the great principle which is contained in the fundamental law of our land, Morgan, of Alabama; Carmack, of Tennessee; Daniels, of Virginia, and their satellites have been foremost and active in elaborating the cardinal principle which underlies our system of government. They cannot nullify the provisions of the federal constitution, they cannot deny the fact of the fifteenth amendment, and yet they stultify themselves in their attempt to teach and maintain a theory so at variance in practice with the very principle involved. They know very well the plighted obligations taken by every son once disloyal to this government. They know the sworn terms under which every rebellious state was admitted under the reconstruction laws and yet stubborn, foolhardy Ben Titman like, they undertake to ignore the rights and privileges of a portion of American citizens and plead "Equal Rights to All Men and Special Privileges to None." Such double dealing is contemptible and loathsome compared with that of the school boy who pledged himself to abide by the rules, yet practiced every manner of rascality when the opportunity was given. But these defiant leaders are guilty of a crime, because they are guilty of actual perjury. In the face of a general amnesty, the southern states were ad mitted to equal privileges under the amended constitution. The rights which they forfeited were restored to them upon terms of a solemn obligation. How have they regarded their obligation and what right have they more than the northern states to dictate the policy of the federal government or to ignore and defy any just and lawful measure of the organic law? They agitate this matter and say to the north "Be still." Yet they talk about "equal rights to all and special privileges to none." With them the doctrine of equal rights is a farce, a sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal and amounts to nothing so far as this government is concerned. The fundamental idea of this government is not to be perverted by a faithless and disloyal element, and that element which would teach a lie in the face of a living truth established by the ruling powers of this nation, can but see the rottenness and abomination of their own wicked pretentions. Equal rights to all men admit of no ambiguity. It means just what it claims, and he is a wretch and a traitor who would misinterpret the spirit and intention of the declaration. The practice of this principle must conform to the spirit of its meaning, and until the people of the south shall learn to acquiesce in the real purpose of the maxim as is implied, perpetual strife shall be the forbidden fruit of our political Eden. We therefore insist that the people of the south alike with the people of the north together with the people of all sections owe it to themselves to harmonize this principle upon a basis or truth and justice and demand recognition in practice of the doctrine designed as a shield and bulwark for all citizens of the republic now and forever. COL. LEWIS' DAUGHTER. Splendid Record Made by a New Or- Splendid Record Made by a New Orleans Beauty in Musical Study. Julia Ellen Lewis, daughter of Col. James Lewis, surveyor general of the United States land office at New Orleans, graduated with high honors in music and drawing at the New England conservatory of music, Boston, Mass., on Thursday, the 25th inst. Miss Lewis is one of the teachers in the public schools of New Orleans. She was appointed in 1893, after an examination in which she passed first on the female list as grade teacher. In October, 1900, she was appointed supervisor of drawing over six colored schools, having 76 teachers. Her work was very favorably commented on in the report of the city school board for the year 1900. A few years ago Miss Lewis developed a taste for music, and, under the tuition of Prof. Wm. J. Nickerson, she became very proficient on the piano, and most of the stringed instruments, the violin being her favorite. She also plays with skill the violoncello and the mandolin. For further advancement in musical studies, Miss Lewis took lessons from Prof. Lenfant, of Paris, and acquired a knowledge of harmony from Profs. Gruneberg and Weis, and Dr. Clark, the eminent professor at the New England conservatory of music at Boston, and took a course for teachers in music and drawing. She attended the session of the American Institute of Normal Methods, the leading institute in this country for teachers, at Babylon, L. L., in 1899. Miss Lewis, after two years' study, has recently graduated in music and in drawing at the New England conservatory of music, being one of the few pupils to complete two courses at one time. She is a graduate of the college preparatory department of Straight university, and also of the normal department of that institution. She is department secretary of the Woman's Relief Corps department of Louisiana and Mississippi, since its organization. A bright future awaits Miss Lewis if she continues to work in her chosen line of art.—New Orleans Picayune. KILLED AT A CROSSING. Two Women, One the Wife of a Congressman, are Struck by a Train. Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 4.—Mrs. S. S. Barney, of West Bend, wife of Congressman S. S. Barney, of the Fifth district, and Mrs. W. H. Ramsey, sr., of Port Washington, wife of a former state bank comptroller, were killed by a Northwestern train yesterday, one mile south of Port Washington station. They were driving across the track and the train struck them For over two hours the remains laid at the station at Port Washington, where they were taken by the train which struck them, no one being able to identify them. Their identification proved a tragic affair. After many had viewed the remains, W. H. Ramsey, jr., who was about to take a train from Port Washington, was asked to see if he could recognize the bodies. Mr. Ramsey picked up the covering upon the body of Mrs. Barney but the remains were so mangled he could not make out the features. He lifted the cover from the other body and fell back trembling with blanched face. He had looked upon the dead face of his mother. A Big Selzure of Jewelry. Chicago, Sept. 5. Jewelry upon which the duties amount to $9,000, is locked up in the Chicago national bank awaiting the decision of the treasury department at Washington as to whether a prominent citizen of Chicago is guilty of smuggling. Secrecy guards the identity of the citizen. Collector Nixon and Agent Crowley said that their lips were sealed by the regulations of the treasury department. Mr. Nixon stated that the high character of the Chicagoan made it impossible to believe that he knowingly had been guilty of smuggling. Cashier and $5,000 are Missing. Columbia, S. C., Sept. 5.—Frank C. Lecher, cashier of the Bank of Timmonsville, suddenly disappeared from limmonsville, S. C., a short while ago for reasons unknown at the time. An examination of the bank's accounts shows a $5,000 shortage. Lucky Klondikers. Seattle, Wash., Sept. 5.—Two Klondikers, Clarence Berry and William Staley, arrived here Wednesday from Dawson. Both men are Eldorado Creek mine owners and as a result of the summer's sluicing brought out nearly $500,000 in bank drafts. A Doubly Fatal Duck Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 5. -At Lexington, Miss., Tuesday night Monroe Hitchford and Spencer Wright, colored, fought a duel with shotguns and both were killed. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O.. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1901. "JIM CROW" CAMP-FIRE! The Second Color-Line Act of the G. A. R. Encampment Executive Committee. Hon. Frederick Douglass' Son and Attorney Pinn, Both Old Soldiers, Denounce the Executive Committee's "Jim Crow Tag Ends"—Our Newspapers Speak Out! From one end of the country to the other our prominent men, newspapers and organizations, including many of our old soldiers and sailors, are denouncing in no uncertain tones the "Jim Crow" attempts of the local G. A. R. encampment citizens' executive committee. This is as it should be. We predicted when the "Jim Crow tag end" committee was first constituted and then reorganized that that was only the beginning and that other color-lines would be drawn as the preparations for the encampment progressed. Now comes a "Jim Crow" camp-fire—just as we predicted—and all the Afro-American veterans who come here to attend the national G. A. R. event will be crowded into the Grays' armory on September 11, if such a thing is possible. Those of the original committee (a majority) who refused to serve on the "Jim Crow" committee are entitled to unqualified praise. Tnose who were appointed to succeed them and accepted show that they are ashamed of their action by keeping their names from the public. That they have that much shame left is all that surprises us. Their acceptance of a place on such a committee shows what they are, and our people should mark them. The excerpts from the newspapers and the letters that follow, are self-explanatory. Messrs. Doughass and Pinn are both old soldiers, the latter being an official upon the staff of the commander of the G. A. R.: "The citizens' committee" of Cleveland, O., would not dare sidetrack colored heroes of the civil war, were it not for a kindred feeling in the G. A. R. ranks. True, there are a few Grants, Shermans, Healys and Butlers left to battle for right and they have the power to enthuse others and gain a signal victory and send the hydraheaded demon—caste to everlasting oblivion. In defense of the Union and the flag, the blood of black and white mingled, and their bones bleached on hundreds of battlefields, and now, in their hoary age and decrepid condition, will the old men—all on the verge of the grave—turn their backs on the black heroes of Richmond, Petersburg, Nashville, Port Hudson, Fort Pillow, Olustee and other famous battlefields? God forbid. Had it not been for these black men's bravery the flag may have been torn to shreds and the sacred cause of right and the life of the Union lost. Read the folling and then swear to God as Butler did, and live and die by the oath as he did, and let us live for all time to come, as we fought, in love together.—Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press. HM CROW IN CLEVELAND True to its record, the Cleveland Gazette devotes considerable space to the action of the committee, in that city, in making preparations for the G. A. R. meeting there this fall. It seems that at first no attention was paid to the Negro at all. When it was discovered that several thousand Negro comrades would attend the encampment, an "auxiliary" committee composed of 18 Negroes was appointed. Out of this 18 only four or five attended the meeting, as will be seen by reading The Gazette article in another column. The World is glad to note that a majority of these Negroes refused to accept the appointment on this "Jim Crow" committee. If there is any place where the colorline should not be drawn it is certainly in Grand Army circles. It was by the bravery of the white soldier that the Negro received his freedom and was admitted to citizenship. The Negro troops were placed on the same footing and received the same pay as the white troops. There was no "auxiliary" committee at Fort Pillow where so many Negro troops were ruthlessly slaughtered. There white and black stood shoulder to shoulder, with their faces to the foe, until overpowered by the enemy. There was no "auxiliary" committee when the 54th Masachusetts, on the 18th of July, 1863, under the leadership of the gallant Col. Shaw, charged Fort Wagner and left half its number dead or wounded upon the field, Col. Shaw being among the killed. Negro soldiers were good enough then to lead the assault and draw the fire of the rebels, and we are sorry to see the situation as it exists in Cleveland. That situation, however, is not of the Negro's making and he ought to be able to stand it if the white man can. Our friend, Hon. H. C. Smith, of the Cleveland Gazette, deserves great credit for the persistent and intelligent fight he is making against this condition, and we are inclined to think that the failure of the majority of the "auxiliary" committee to attend the meeting is due in a great measure to his well directed blows against such things in the past. With enough papers like The Gazette and The World to keep pounding away at the Negroes who show a disposition to play second fiddle in cases of this kind, there are grounds for a faint hope that in time the race will reach a point where all will refuse to assist the white man in drawing the color line in such affairs as a G. A. R. encampment, at least. — Indianapolis (Ind.) World. DOUGLASS' LETTER. Washington, D. C., Aug. 8, 1901. Friend Smith: Your exposure of the "Jim Crow" features of Cleveland's entertainment for the Grand Army encampment is timely. I regret that it cannot get into every paper in the land so that no self-respecting Negro veteran will darken the doors of Cleveland or accept its "Jim Crow" hospitality. Yours truly, CHAS. R. DOUGLASS. (Major C. R. Douglass is a son of Hon. Frederick Douglass.) Massillon, O., August 17, 1901. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: In today's Cleveland Leader under the head of "Program for G. A. R. Week" on page 5 is printed a list of campfires, and among them is the following: "Gray's Armory, Sept. 11.—Camp fire of Colored Veterans. Speakers: President McKinley, Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Gen. O. O. Howard, Governor Nash, Hon. T. E. Burton, Corporal Tanner. I am acquainted with all of these men except Charles W. Anderson and know that they are not "Colored Veterans." Has it ever occurred to you that the managers of the preparations for the encampment are treating the colored people very shabbily? If the colored veterans are to have a camp-fire it seems to me that the speakers ought to be mainly colored men. It seems to me that the object of the committee is to sidetrack the colored veterans so far as allowing them to have anything in common with their comrades. This encampment proposes to be a meeting of all veterans of the Civil War and they are supposed to meet upon a common level and mingle freely with each other. It is neither an encampment of white veterans nor of colored veterans but I am sorry to note the fact that in your city of Cleveland, where, if at any place, we would expect fair treatment, we have seen the color line drawn in all of the preparations. I see no colored men's names on the lists of any of the committees, but instead there is one and perhaps more colored committees. Why is this? Can the people of Cleveland explain? The veterans who propose to visit your city have certainly not asked that any such distinction be made. Very truly yours. R. A. PINN, Attorney-at-law, Aide-de-camp on the staff of the Commander-in-Chief, G. A. R.; Past Commander, Hart Post, No. 134, and Past Junior Vice Commander, Department of Ohio, G. A. R. A FIGHT IN A JAIL. James Howard Assaults Calcb Powers With an Iron Inkstand. Frankfort, Ky., Sept. 5. James Howard and ex-Secretary of State Caleb Powers, convicted as Goebel murder conspirators, quarrelled in jail here yesterday. Howard threw a heavy inkstand at Powers, striking him in the head. Powers was knocked down and bled profusely. Howard's new trial will begin here next Monday. Powers was unconscious for 35 minutes, and it was at first thought his skull had been fractured, but Dr. Demare said late last night that he could find no evidence of a fracture. He remained with the patient till a late hour. Symptoms of concussion developed and a slight paralysis of the left arm and side appeared. Dr. Demare would not state how serious he thought the wound might prove, but intimated that he considered his condition serious. Col. J. K. Dixon, assistant adjutant general under the administration of ex-Gov Taylor, who had just returned from eastern Kentucky, where he collected considerable money for the defense of both Powers and Howard, was in the room with the men at the time of the trouble. A controversy between the two men arose as to a division of the money. Both grew angry and Howard seized an iron inkstand and hurled it at Powers with terrine force. Powers was struck on the side of the head. A branch of the temple artery was severed and a gash of four inches laid open. Both men have been in jail more than a year and apparently have been the best of friends. Howard, in talking to Col. Dixon afterward, expressed deep regret that the affair had occurred. RECIPROCITY. Philadelphia, Sept. 5.—The executive committee of the National Association of Manufacturers, after a session lasting nearly five hours, on Wednesday decided to hold a reciprocity convention at a date to be later named. In pursuance of this decision, the committee adopted the following resolution: "Resolved, For purposes of clear comprehension and expression of public sentiment respecting the reciprocal and trade relations with foreign powers; "That this committee deems it expedient that there be held under the auspices of the National Association of Manufacturers a national conference on reciprocity." The trade relations with Cuba were also discussed and the date for the next convention of the National Association of Manufacturers fixed for the third week in April, at Indianapolis. The question of calling a national reciprocity convention was referred to this committee at the convention of the National Association of Manufacturers held in Detroit last June. It is probable that some western city will be chosen as the place of meeting of the reciprocity convention. AN AMERICAN DESERTER He was Leading Insurgents and Is to be Courts-Married. Manila, Sept. 5.—Lieut. Hazzard, of the Third cavalry, has brought in Arthur Howard, the American deserter who was recently captured by the lieutenant while in command of Macabebe scouts in the island of Mindoro. He was placed in jail and will shortly be court-martialed. Howard denies that he was ever an American soldier. He claims he was born in Spain, that his father was English and his mother Spanish, but that he espoused the cause of the Filipinos. In 1896, after peace was declared, he says, he went to Hong Kong and returned in 1896. as Aguinaldo's chief. He cast his lot with Aguinaldo at the time of the rupture with the Americans and he says that he brought in 16 American prisoners, under a flag of truce, at Angeles, in September, 1899. Howard denies that he commanded the force at San Mateo, which killed Gen. Lawton. He speaks like an educated Englishman. Lieut. Hazzard says he saw Howard at Angeles in 1899. Two former California volunteers have identified Howard as a deserter from their regiment, named Walley, of Company A, who deserted in 1899. Driver's Crew In Safe: Chicago, Sept. 5.—The mystery regarding the fate of the crew of the schooner Driver, which was capsized in the lake near South Manitou island in the gale last Friday, has been cleared by the arrival of all five of the men in Chicago.

Prince Chun Apologizes to the Kaiser for the Murder of Von Ketteler. Potsdam, Sept. 5.—Emperor William received Prince Chun yesterday in the presence of the royal princes, Baron Von Richthofen, the foreign secretary, the principal ministers and generals and the court dignitaries. The prince read a letter, written in yellow ink, to the emperor. The Chinese emperor's letter to Emperor William confessed "penitence and shame" for the crime (the murder of Baron Von Ketteler, the German minister at Pekin), which he had been unable to prevent. Emperor William's reply was that while he was ready to believe that the emperor of China stood aloof from the murder, all the heavier guilt resting on his advisers and the government, the latter must not delude themselves with the belief that they are able to obtain pardon for their guilt by the expiatory mission alone, but will be judged by their future conduct, in accordance with the laws of nations. Will Get Out of Chicago. Chicago, Sept. 5.—Because of the annoyance suffered from strikes, the Robert Tarrant Foundry Co. has leased a plant in Aurora, Ill., and will seek to get out of the "strike area." The new foundry will employ 50 men. The Tarrant foundry has been one of the sufferers from the machinist-molder strike, which has been in force since May 31. On Tuesday the business agent of the machinists informed Mr. Tarrant that unless he ceased work on castings sent into his place by the Allis-Chalmers Co. he would call out the men. Tarrant insisted on taking all business he chose and a strike followed. Clark Will Buy a Big Farm. Butte, Mont., Sept. 5.-The announcement is made that Senator W. A. Clark is about to become the owner of the Bitter Root stock farm, founded by the late Marcus Daly. Mrs. Daly is anxious to dispose of the property and Senator Clark has sent a representative to examine the property. The ranch is famous as having been the former home of such noted horses as Hamburg, Tammany and Montana. It consists of 123,000 acres. Mr. Daly spent millions in improvements upon the property. Senator Clark's intention is to cultivate sugar beets on the ranch. McKinley Offers to Intervene Washington, Sept. 4.

STRUCK FOR MORE PAY. Pittsburg Chainmakers and Electrical Workers Cease Operations. Pittsburg, Sept. 4.—A new strike is on. It is the chainmakers. They refused to go to work yesterday. The men quit work for an increase of wages. The advance asked in the Pittsburg district averages 24 per cent. In the east the advance asked runs all the way from 4 to 100 per cent, depending on the kinds of chain made. The strike has been started by the Chainmakers' National union. The works of the Pittsburg Chain Co. were idle yesterday. Not a fire was burning. The plant has been working night and day, running 16 fires on each turn. At the offices of the company the strike is treated lightly. The strike was termed a "flurry" and it was predicted that the men would return to work in a few days. About 125 chainmakers employed in the plant of the Standard Chain Co. at Rankin, also went out on strike. The move had been anticipated and the remainder of the plant is working as usual. The organized electrical workers of the two cities went on strike Tuesday because of their failure to enforce a wage demand on ten days' notice. The result is that an building operations hinging on the completion of electric work are tied up. While the demand of the workers surprised the contractors, they have agreed to grant them, involving an advance of 50 cents a day, after 60 days. ADMINISTRATOR'S SALE OF REAL ESTATE.

The doctor did not seem to understand what the trouble was and the medicine he prescribed from time to time did not help me. He finally suggested that I have an operation. One of my friends who had been cured of a similar affliction through the use of Peruna, advised me to give it a trial first, and so I used it for three weeks faithfully. My pains diminished very soon and within two months I had none at all. "This is six months ago, and during that time I have not had an ache nor pain. I give highest praise to Peruna. Every woman ought to use it, and I feel sure that it would bring perfect health."—BESSIE KELLOG. The experience of Miss Bessie Kellog, of North Dakota, ought to be read by every girl in the land.

The reason he does not often make a cure is because he does not recognize the trouble. In a large majority of the cases catarrh of the female organs is the cause. Peruna relieves these cases promptly because it cures the catarrh. Peruna is not a palliative or a sedative or a nervine or a stimulant. It is a specific for catarrh and cures catarrh wherever it may lurk in the system. This girl was lucky enough to find Peruna at last. As she says, the doctors did not seem to understand what the trouble was and the medicine he prescribed from time to time did not help her. Peruna hit the mark at once and she is now recommending this wonderful remedy to all the other girls in the United States. Thousands of the girls who look at her beautiful face and read her sincere testimonial, will be led to try Peruna in their times of trouble and critical periods. Peruna will not fall them. Every one of them will be glad and it is to be hoped that their enthusiasm will lead them to do as this girl did—proclaim the fact to the world so that others may read it and do likewise. Mrs. Christopher Fliehmann, Amsterdam, N.Y., writes: "I have been sick with catarrh of the stomach and pelvic organs for about five years, and had many a doctor, but none could help me. Some said I would never get over it. One day when I read your almanac I saw those who had been cured by Peruna; then I thought I would try it. I did, and found relief with the first bottle I took, and after two more bottles I was as well and strong as I was before."—Mrs. Christopher Fliehmann.

Our Leading Men and Women Dounce it-The First Attempt to Hold a Meeting of the "Jim Crow Tag End"Committee a Failure - Another Hot Time Many months ago a citizens' committee of 100 or more of Cleveland's most prominent men (white) was constituted to take charge of and make all arrangements for the coming national G. A. R. encampment which convenes in this city this fall. All committees including the executive committee were made up of members of the general citizens' committee. After the lapse of the many months referred to it finally dawned upon the members of the citizens' executive committee that there would be hundreds and possibly thousands of Afro-American veterans of the War of the Rebellion, members of the G. A. R., in attendance upon the national meeting of the organization here this fall. In constituting the general committee through an overtight or otherwise no Afro-American was given a place upon it. This mistake should not, of course, have been made. For some reason or other the executive committee has failed and refuses to recommend such action. The result is that no Afro-American has or can have any regular connection with the citizens' general committee, the executive or any other of its many auxiliary committees. Recognizing this condition and being desirous of unloading to a greater or less extent the care of the colored ex-soldiers and their visiting friends who will attend the encampment, the executive committee authorized the appointment of an irregular auxiliary committee made up of Afro-Americans with the result that Ed Doty, its secretary, notified the following named persons of their appointment: Charles W. Chestnut, esq., (chairman), Rev. Charles Buny, Rev. J. S. Jackson, A. T. Abbott, J. E. Reed, H. J. Embrey, H. M. Foote, W. B. Wright, Alexander Martin, James E. Benson, T. W. Fleming, J. H. Davis, John J. Bolden, George Vosburg, Willie Green, George Sampson, Willie Clifford, George Myers. On July 12 this alleged committee was notified to indicate their acceptance of the color-line honor (?) and to attend a meeting to be held on Monday evening, July 15, in the committee rooms in the chamber of commerce building. A number of the persons mentioned upon receipt of the notice were bright enough to recognize this "Jim Crow" movement and appreciate the intentional or unintentional insult to our old soldiers and the race its composition implies. Among this number were Rev. Bundy, Rev. J. S. Jackson, Messrs. Abbott, Reed and others. Indeed only four or five attended the July 15 meeting, Mr. Abbott being one of the number. He, however, went for the purpose of rebuking the others for tamely submitting to such an outrageous insult. He paralyzed the alleged meeting, which was hastily adjourned without having taken any action. It will be seen that among those named for membership on this "Jim Crow" committee there are a number of men of color who in spite of their long years' residence in Cleveland have little or no standing among our people here because they have had practically no association with or shown any interest in them. For one reason and another they have held themselves aloof from our people, their organizations, churches, etc., showing absolutely no interest or care for them. They are, therefore, anything but "representative colored men." Then, too, there is one of them that will not even accommodate men of his own class in his place of business, unless the Afro-American seeking the same is a guest of the institution in which his place of business is located. Rev. Charles Bundy and others of our pastors are most outspoken in their denunciation of this latest "Jim Crow" movement. After his sermon Sunday morning, July 14, at St. John's church he discussed and denounced it thoroughly and very properly, taking severely to task the members of the race, especially those on the alleged committee, who failed to resent so open and agravating an insult. Rev. Bundy very properly stigmatizes it as a "Jim Crow" annex to the G. A. R. encampment and general committee! "The appointment of a 'colored committee' on entertainment for colored troops is a terrible blunder," said Rev. Bundy July 16. "It is an attempt to draw the color line in Cleveland, of all places. In Cincinnati or St. Louis one might understand the motives behind such an attempt. In Cleveland it is perfectly inexcusable. Here on the Western Reserve, famous for its love of freedom, liberty and fair play, such discrimination against colored people is an outrage. I do not think that the people will endorse such a thing if it is brought to their attention. "If it was even a question of nationalities there might possibly be no objections. If a committee of Germans and another of Irish citizens had been appointed, for instance, to look after the interests and comfort of the troops of their nationalities, then a colored committee to look after colored soldiers might be in place. "No such thing has been done, however. The general committee will look after the entertainment of all veterans except the colored men. A 'Jim Crow annex' is to care for them. The colored soldiers are members of the Grand Army. They are entitled to care at the hands of the general committee, with other veterans. "No self-respecting colored citizen will serve on that 'Jim Crow' committee. If their co-operation is wished a place could be made for some of them on the general committee. Then if their services were especially desired in the interests of colored soldiers they could be detailed for that work. But it is an insult to ask a man to serve on a committee whose very existence indicates an attempt to draw the color-line against his race. "A serious mistake has been made by this attempt, and the sooner it is rectified the better." Rev. Bundy paid absolutely no attention to the notice placing his name on the "Jim Crow tag end" committee, and he feels intensely indignant because of the act, the more so because, he says, that he was consulted about the matter some time since, and plainly responded with his views on the subject. To a daily newspaper reporter on July 16 the editor of The Gazette also said: "We want no recognition on the executive or general committees unless voluntarily given, but we will not for a minute submit to the apparent plan to put the colored veterans by themselves while in this city. "If the Irish are going to look after the Irish veterans and the Germans after the German veterans, then we will look after the colored veterans. We will not, however, submit to any class distinction." Our people should denounce with every breath this effort to establish a "Jim Crow" committee and the misguided individuals of color who undertake to act on it. The citizen committees will have the honor of caring for the encampment; therefore let them do the work—all of it, including that necessary for the proper care of the Afro-American contingent. The effort to shift it to somebody else simply because these old soldiers belong to our race and are of a little different color, is exceptionally contemptible even for the average prejudiced white person. These old soldier heroes of ours did their part to save the great American government and should be esteemed too highly by the citizens' general committee of this city to permit of any such exhibition of prejudice and smallness as would be a "Jim Crow tag end" committee such as has repeatedly been referred to. That "Jim Crow Annex." With a citizens' committee of two or three hundred members from which all sub-committees are taken, we fail to see the necessity and wisdom of the appointment of a committee for any purpose, the members of which are not members of the citizens' general committee. The appointment of a "colored committee" for the very evident purpose of shifting to our people the care of the Afro-American ex-soldiers and friends who attend the G. A. R. encampment to be held here this fall, ought to be followed by the appointment of Irish, German, Bohemian, Jewish and other race or class committees, for the care of the ex-soldiers of the various nationalities who will also attend the encampment. To be consistent and prove that they are not intentionally drawing the colorline and creating a "Jim Crow annex" for purposes obvious, the citizens' executive committee must at once appoint two or more of these other race or class committees. To say that they are following precedents established in other cities where the national encampment has been held, is no argument in favor of a "Jim Crow tag end" committee in Cleveland for this fall or any other time, or for this or any other purpose, because there is only one Cleveland in the Western Reserve of this country. By this last we mean there is no city of its size in the country where there is so little excuse for such ridiculous action. The citizens' executive committee could have saved itself much humiliation had it conferred with leading Afro-Americans before taking the insulting action referred to. If they do not desire to provide for the Afro-American ex-soldiers just as they do for those of other classes, without any more reference to or consideration for their class or color, they should give way to broader-gauged men who can and will provide for the heroes' of the war of the rebellion without any regard for class or color. We are perfectly willing, and so will be all of the ex-soldiers of color who visit our city this fall, to accept the care and treatment provided for all without reference to class or color. The oversight which resulted in a failure to place leading citizens of color upon the general and executive committees in charge of the coming G. A. R. encampment, should not lead the members of the latter into making a far greater and more aggravating mistake, namely, the creation and maintenance of a "Jim Crow tag end" committee. Cleveland has a reputation the country over for fairness in the matter of the treatment of Afro-Americans which all "Jim Crow" movements mar. This in addition to a personal feeling is what leads the intelligent and manly of our people as well as the broad-gauged whites to oppose such a disgraceful line of action as the creation of a "Jim Crow" committee, upon the part of the citizens' executive committee. We sincerely trust the obnoxious movement will be abandoned and that all concerned will understand that all calls upon the local public for assistance, etc., in the care of the old soldiers who will convene here this fall, will mean the same to and have a like effect upon the Afro-Americans of this community as upon all other loyal residents of every class.

The "Jim Crow Tag-End" Committee of the G. A. R. Encampment Citizens' Executive Committee. Every One of Our Local Ministers Sign Resolutions Denouncing the Disgraceful Attempt to Draw a Color Line. In response to a call sent out Thursday, July 18, Rev. Chas Bundy all of our ministers, except Rev. E. D. Dandridge, met Monday, July 22, in the study of Antioch Baptist church, on Central avenue, to consider and pass upon the appointment of the "Jim Crow" committee appointed recently by the citizen's executive committee (white) which is in charge of the arrangements for the G. A. R. encampment soon to be held in Cleveland. Rev. Dandridge, of Shiloh Baptist church, who was unavoidably absent, is in hearty sympathy with the opposition to the "Jim Crow" committee. The editor of The Gazette was also present at the meeting on the invitation of Rev. Bundy, of St. John's A. M. E. church. A temporary organization was effected with Rev. Bundy as chairman and Rev.F.G.Brookins, of Antioch church, secretary. After the call was explained by the presiding officer, an expression was had from each person present, which included in addition to those already mentioned, Rev. S. H. Ferguson, of Cory M. E. church; Rev. J. S. Jackson, of Mt. Zion Congregational church, and Rev. J. C. Turner, of the Second A. M. E. church, East End. There was absolute unanimity of expression upon the part of all present in condemnation of the appointment of the "Jim Crow" committee "on colored troops" by the citizen's executive committee (white). After a full and free discussion and thorough handling of the matter, the following persons were elected a committee on resolutions: Rev. J. S. Jackson, Rev. Chas. Bundy and Hon. H. C. Smith. This committee met with the chairman of the meeting in the study of St. John's church on Tuesday, July 23, and reported to the general meeting held at 6 p. m. on the same day in the study of Antioch church. The following are the resolutions formulated, presented and unanimously adopted: Whereas, the citizens' executive committee on entertainment for the G. A. R. encampment has seen fit to create unnecessarily "a colored committee on colored troops" and has not created class committees to care for troops of other classes of people or nationalities, and Whereas, The creation of a "colorline" committee is not only unnecessary and obnoxious to the loyal and intelligent Afro-Americans of this community and an unfair reflection upon the splendid reputation abroad of this city for fair treatment of all people without regard to class or color who come within its borders, but will also prove to be most aggravating and distasteful to the thousands of Afro-American veterans and their families and friends who will visit the city during the encampment, therefore be it Resolved, first, That the undersigned do most vigorously protest against the color-line action in the appointment of a "colored committee on colored troops" and respectfully request the citizens' executive committee to rescind the objectionable action. Secondly, that in case this is done, we pledge the citizens' executive committee our assistance in common with all other loyal people of the community without reference to class to do all in our power that may be required to assist in providing for the "wants and comforts" of all the veterans and visitors who may come to our city to attend the encampment.

Rev. Chas. Bundy and the writer esteem as highly as other citizens of this community the members of the citizens' committee and desire no controversy with it. We know that the executive committee has made an unfortunate mistake, possibly on the solicitation of some misguided Afro-American, which ought to be rectified at the earliest possible moment. There is no more excuse for such a class committee than there would be for committees of other nationalities to attend "to the wants and comfort" of the veterans of the various classes or nationalities who will attend the grand encampment. It is entirely unnecessary, because my people of this community will take as much pride and pleasure in doing all they can for the Afro-American veterans as any and all other classes of people for the veterans of their classes and, too, under the direction of the citizens' executive committee. There is no city of its size or larger in this country where there is so little excuse for such obnoxious action as the creation of a "Jim Crow" committee. Cleveland has a reputation the country over for fairness in the matter of treatment of Afro-Americans, which all such creations mar, and I sincerely trust that this latest attempt will be abandoned. Very respectfully, HARRY C. SMITH. FALLING HAIR A Prevented by Shampoos of CUTICURA SOAP and light dressings of CUTICURA, purest of emollient skin cures.

She was a very talkative old aunty and her memory was remarkable. Her nephew from the city soon realized the strength of both of these characteristics. "Say, aunty," he put in when he found an opening in the old lady's continuous chain of reminiscences, "did you ever know the Skeeter family that used to live around here somewhere?" "Knew 'em all," cried the old lady, without a moment's hesitation. "Yes, indeed." "Did you know Amos?" continued the joker. "Amos Keeter!" cried the old lady again. "Well, I should say I did. Many's the party he's taken me to. Amos Keeter? Dear, dear, how his name does call up the good old times!"
