Entered at the post office in Cleveland, Ohio, as second-class master. All communications should be addressed: H. C. SMITH. Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE. Case Library Building, Cleveland, Ohio. Member Ohio Legislature. } 1904 to 1908 } 1900 to 1902 ALLIED PRINTING TRADE & COUNCIL CLEVELAND 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. There is no doubt but that the Ruthven matter caused Gov. Nash to lose both Cuyahoga and Franklin counties. The defection among the Afro-American voters of these counties resulted in a loss of "colored" votes many times greater than the plurality by which Kilbourne, the democratic candidate for governor, carried them. It was the large rural republican vote of the state that rolled up the large republican plurality for the state republican ticket. The New York Age claims that the Hon. H. C. Payne, of Wisconsin, vice-chairman of the national republican committee, is responsible for the new southern policy born under the McKinley administration and adopted by President Roosevelt. Granting that this is true, does our esteemed conferee, Editor Fortune, think for a moment that President McKinley would have adopted Mr. Payne's suggestion or recommendation without the endorsement of Senator Hanna, who was all-powerful during the life of the McKinley administration when it came to such matters. Even if Mr. Payne did originate or suggest the new southern policy which was adopted by McKinley, Hanna and Roosevelt, is there any sane person who understood or understands the conditions referred to as far as Hanna is concerned, who would undertake in all fairness to shift from the latter his responsibility in the matter? With due respect to the New York Age's statement, we still incline to the opinion first expressed, that Senator M. A. Hanna, of Ohio, is more responsible than any other ten prominent republicans in the country for the adoption of the so-called new southern policy upon the part of the McKinley administration. The Age says: "Senator Hanna gave his assent, of course, to Mr. Payne's program, but we do not believe he inaugurated it as The Gazette says." The only man that could inaugurate it at that time was the president of the United States, the Hon. William McKinley, of Ohio, who would not have done so under any circumstances had not Senator Hanna given his assent. To this we believe even our esteemed conferee of The New York Age will agree. --- It is simply remarkable the number of mistakes Editor Lewis, of The Freeman worked into an editorial in the last issue of that paper. He referred to the editor of this paper as an "ex-member of the Ohio legislature." We are not an "ex" as yet, but a real live member of the Seventy-fourth general assembly of this state (for a third time). The Gazette has never had anything to say or made any charges relative to the "manner" of any one's selection or nomination to office in this county nor have we "abused" a defeated candidate. The fact is, Editor Lewis read, but does not seem to have understood The Gazette's editorial headed "Retribution," which he reproduced in his paper and tried to comment upon. We suggest a re-reading and a careful consideration of it, and assure our confrere that the editorial in question was understood by every one who read it except The Freeman's editor, who either did not or would not understand it. The extremely low vote the fellow in question received was a correct estimate of the man's standing among his people, his ability to hold, and claim upon the office. No one claimed aught else for it, although our confrere would create a different impression. Again we assure "Brer" Lewis that he could not make small of The Freeman or any other paper for reasons obvious. The Freeman says: "The editor (of The Gazette) has won fame for work done in the Ohio legislature, notably the anti-lynching (and civil rights) laws of that state. Will he abuse this fame?" There is no danger. HONESTY BETTER THAN INTRIGUE. The Chicago Times-Democrat, if it be in truth the brainy organ of the northwest, it is reputed to be, ought in sheer sense and propriety give us a rest on the Roosevelt incident. The country is ashamed and has long since grown weary of the nauseating comments touching the matter. Such organs work untold mischief to the country, while they convince the people in nothing. But if the entire eighty millions of Americans agree with the Times-Democrat that it is right to prosecute an American citizen, that it is right to decry a man of one race for dining with one of another, that would not make it right. Americans fail to see that this outcry by the southern press is criminal and hollow mockery. But when the great Times-Democrat, litherto the champion of brave and THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1901. broad principles, steps from its high level to engage in a rancor in which only the lowest and most ill-bred might indulge, we do not hesitate to warn all intelligent, cultured and pure-minded people of our race against certain social tendencies. It is that which vitiates. That very sheet is a temporizer, too ready to do the bidding of a master. The Commercial-Appeal, of Memphis, raised the howl only because of its own vain desire to hold leadership, and the southern press took it up. But had the Roosevelt matter passed unnoticed, the milk and water press of the north would have been strictly silent, offering no word in condemnation of the act. Or had the southern press commended the president for the courtesy shown the Afro-American, the Times-Democrat would as readily have credited the people of the south with a growing spirit of magnanimity as manifested toward our race. We understand too well the disposition and whims of the politician not to see that men make capital out of a thing more with a view of finding a stepping-stone than that of serving the cause of truth and justice. We abominate the practice of a large number of American journals, taking sides against a righteous principle through sheer sinister motive. An honest conviction expressed and proclaimed deserves the respectful consideration of the people, but the doctrine of caste, steeped in villainy and sustained through the practice of a century of shameless crimes finds no true and honest advocates. Then all this insane hurrah against a brother and a fellow countryman vested with the same rights and privileges of a common government, becomes an affront to the faith we practice and a thing most revolting to our civilization. The man is a knave and nothing less than a fool who, in the face of his many imperfections, boasts of his individual superiority over men. It is the integrity of principle and honor that makes men. We therefore question the sincerity of the press and we doubt the honesty of individuals when they assail the great cardinal principle of liberty or barter it away upon grounds of a false and wicked dogmatism. The Creator has drawn no dividing lines between the races nor has he instituted planes other than upon which all his creatures may stand. We have one earth, one heaven and one God over all and each soul may aspire to reach the goal. We pray for the same blessing upon us, and we invoke divine guidance from the trials and conflicts of life, obligating ourselves in solemn vows to keep the holy commandment, yet in the face of all truth and our most plighted vows, we find white men of America betraying themselves to ambition, sin and the devil. God will not be mocked. Let the Times-Democrat beware! Special Hunters' Rates.

Jones Furniture Transit Co. was burned Monday, the loss being $50,000, with $40,000 insurance. Thirty-four horses perished in the fire.

He was nearly overcome soon after while trying to rescue the horses stabled on the second floor. He saved only one horse. More Bisfranchisement Atlanta, Ga.—The Georgia house of representatives has taken up the Hardwick bill, which seeks to disfranchise the Afro-American voters of the state.

Cincinnati, O.—Bishops of the Methodist church in America, in biennial session here, made a start towards the work of blotting out Mason and Dixon's line, so far as the Methodist church is concerned.

In an interview with the Baltimore Sun reporter, Mrs. Barnett answered in Yankee fashion a question put to her with reference to amalgamation in the south: "Why," she asked in return, "is not amalgamation going on as it is? The white man passes laws against what he is pleased to call miscegenation, but in that, as in all other things where his passions are concerned, he pays no attention to the law, and it is the southern white man who is responsible for the intermixture of the races." "Do you believe in social equality and' intermarriages between the races?" was asked her. "I believe in allowing people to do as they please in the matter of who they shall associate with or marry," she replied. "To pass laws does not stop the intermixture; it only makes it secret and unlawful." She is a great little woman—the equal of any.—Atlanta Age. TWO BIG BARGAIN DAYS.

Freeman furnished sweet music. The deceased served in the civil war as a corporal of Company B, Tenth United States cavalry. The floral tributes were beautiful. Among them was a handsome pillow contributed by the Journeymen Barbers' International union, of which the deceased was a member. Miss Minnie Davis, of Mrs. A. S.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. Gatling's gun is computed to have killed 250,000 men since 1862. The five stock of the country represents a value of nearly $250,000,000 over last year. One out of every 49 deaths in Minnesota is due to accident or negligence, according to the report of vital statistics for 1894 to 1897, inclusive. Of the surviving ex-mayors of New York—there are now seven—William R. Grace was born in Ireland in 1832, Smith Ely, Jr., in New Jersey, in 1822; Edward Cooper in New York, in 1823, and Abram S. Hewitt in Haverstraw, in 1822. One of the newest things in the way of foods is fish powder, which, it is claimed, is a highly nutritive article, easy of digestion, and, therefore, particularly suitable for invalids. It is intended, however, for ordinary household use. Miss Alice De Rothschild is one of the richest women in England. She owns a villa at Grasse and a London house in Piccadilly. At Grasse 70 gardeners are required to keep this southern paradise in a state of perfection. On the estate she has a collection of zebras, llamas and Hindoo bulls. An arrangement has just been made whereby the Berlin gas lamps in the streets will be lighted automatically and simultaneously by means of an electric attachment. The current will be switched on from the central station and a spark will ignite the gas, which will be turned on by a special apparatus. Seven American presidents were born in Virginia. The Adamses, John and John Quiney, were born in Massachusetts; Andrew Jackson, Andrew Johnson and James K. Polk were born in North Carolina. Pierce was a native of New Hampshire; Buchanan, of Pennsylvania; Cleveland, of New Jersey, and Arthur, of Vermont. Abraham Lincoln was born in Kentucky. A POLICEMAN'S DIPLOMACY. Most policemen would have come up and slapped the three roysterers on the back and said gruffly: "Here, no smoking allowed in this depot." But the officer who was on duty before the ticket window of the Exchange street station was a diplomat and worthy of a wider sphere than he will ever have, even as a depot policeman, says the Buffalo Courier. There were really four in the party, but there were three of them who were seeing the other man off. All of them are exhibit attaches at the Pan-American exposition, and the fourth man was leaving for his home in a far western state. With his three companions they had started for the train several hours before train time, and they had spent most of the intervening time in drinking his health. Naturally, they were in a mood to be a little careless of the depot regulations. About half an hour before train time one of them discovered that there was a later train which their friend could take and arrive at his destination just as soon, while the new arrangement would lengthen the time they would have to express their regard for him at sundry bars. They repaired to the depot to have his ticket changed. While he was going through this formality at the ticket office, they stood a little way back in the waiting room, puffing vigorously on strong cigars. A policeman approached, but he wasn't gruff at all. With a pleasant smile and a strong Hibernian brogue, he remarked: "It's ivident none of ye gintlemin believe in soigns." "Why not?" asked one of them. "Because," replied the diplomatic policeman, "there be wan over there which rades: 'No smoking allowed in this waitin'-room.'" Three cigars came out of three mouths with a chorus movement, and there was no more smoking. All Hands Smoking Tobacco is in Tehuantepec a great industry. One evening some of our party of 16 were kindly given a night's shelter, Mexican fashion, at a hacienda or farm house. Hotels—except in the large towns—are unknown. It was about nine a. m. when we arrived. Sitting on the wide veranda to receive us we beheld the entire family. On the right of the door was the lady of the house in a white cotton gown, smoking a cigar; below her were the daughters and hand maidens, also smoking. On the other side of the door was the ranchero or master himself, with his sons and men servants. Every one was employed in rolling the tobacco leaf into cigars, and every one was smoking, including a little boy not quite three years old, who had a full-sized cigar in his baby mouth, which he puffed at most professionally, while in his left hand he held a banana from which he took bites be tween the puffs, occasionally stop ping to play with a small puppy dog! "Does he often smoke?" I asked in amazement. "Si, Senora, he smoke three or four cigars a day; all our children have done so at that age Adaptability of temperament to climate!—Fortnightly Review. Twenty million pounds of fishes, yielding $625,000 to 5,000 professional fishermen and affording a livelihood for 25,000 persons, is the remarkable record for 1901 of the Illinois river. Of all other American rivers, the river Columbia with its wealth of salmon excepted, none has fisheries equal to that of the Illinois. Fishing is a great industry on this river, which is wholly within the state of Illinois. It is the life of a hundred river towns; it lattices the river with seines and nets; it gives 500 loaded cars a year to the freight business of the railroads, and thousands of barrels and boxes of freight to the railroads and steamboats; it costs the state of Illinois $12,500 per annum in its regular appropriations for protection and promotion, and requires the constant attention of an attache of the United States fish commission.

Transportation Lines Gratified at Profits from Pan-American Exposition Travel. Now that the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo is at an end the railroads are figuring up just how much profit they derived from the exposition travel, says the Times. The exact figures have not yet been compiled, but it is known in a general way that the general results were highly satisfactory to the roads. The weather during the first two months was inelement and restricted travel during those months. The assassination of President McKinley was also an unfavorable element. Of the three rates made from New York by the roads, the highest and lowest being $16 and nine dollars respectively, were not the most productive of revenue. The best returns were received from the $13 rate, which was good for two weeks. The five-dollar rate of the last few days of the exposition is said to have been a success, the Lackawanna road alone carrying 1,824 persons on this rate. 10 Ten Years on an Errand. Ten years ago John White, a substantial farmer near Mattoon, Ill., sold his farm and with his wife removed to Janesville, ten miles south of Mattoon, to lead a retired life. One day his wife sent him to the grocery store to purchase a package of soda and he disappeared. By many he was regarded as dead. It transpires that he went to Texas and purchased a cotton plantation and later went to North Dakota. The other day he stepped off the train in Janesville, went to the grocery store, purchased a package of soda and entering his home said to his wife: "There's the soda." She was overjoyed to see him and they are living together again. White offered no explanation for his ten years' absence. [Girl Studies Architecture. When the Ecole des Beaux Arts at Paris was thrown open to girl pupils four years ago it was little suspected that the fair sex would invade the section of architecture. San Francisco has the honor of providing a solitary exception in the person of Miss Julia Morgan. She refused to enter the painting and sculpture section like the rest of her sister pupils and determined to solve the mystery of building palaces. Miss Morgan has brilliantly succeeded and will soon take her flight, with honors, to rival the exploits of Inigo Jones. ABSOLUTE SECURITY. Genuine Carter's Little Liver Pills.

CURRENT TOPICS King Leopold has abandoned his intextion to visit America. Sir Thomas Lipton says there are "no girls like American girls." No large comet has appeared within our environment since that of 1882. The hide of the hippopotamus in some parts is fully two inches thick. In nine of the great cities of the United States there are 200,190 telephones. An ordinary railroad engine will travel about 1,000,000 miles before it wears out. The United States produces about four-fifths of the total of corn reported for the whole world. Experiments have demonstrated that doors of wood covered with tin resist fire better than those made of iron. The shark holds the record for long-distance swimming. A shark has been known to cover 800 miles in three days. Sarah Bernhardt says that she rehearsed "Cleopatra" 500 times before it was finally presented to an audience. Nearly a half billion pounds of tea were consumed in the year 1900 in countries other than the sources of production. The late Richard P. Bland will have a monument erected to his memory in Lebanon, Mo., by the citizens of that place. A statistical item of interest to women is that to-day women are two inches taller on an average than they were 25 years ago. The corn crop of the United States in 1900 (2,105,102,516 bushels) was larger than for any other year since the record crop of 1896. During the Franco-German war 23,-500 French soldiers died of smallpox, while the Germans, who had been all vaccinated, lost only 268. A two-year-old colt, the Duke of Westminster, was sold in England the other day for 21,000 guineas—considerably more than $100,000. Out of every 1,000 English people there are 68 Marys, 66 Williams, 62 Johns and 61 Elizas. No other name claims as many as 40 in the 1,000. In some parts of the north of Scotland fisherfolk turn back if a hare or pig crosses their path; and at sea they never pronounce the name of the hare, the pig, the salmon, the trout, or the dog. The longest horse-drawn railway in the world runs from Buenos Ayres to the town of San Martin, a distance of 50 miles. Thirteen hours is allowed for the distance and trains run every hour. A mountain which walks is a curiosity in France. During 48 hours this mountain, which is near Nimes, slid over 30 meters, and great was the excitement among the people living in the neighborhood. The United States produces only a small part of the barley crop of the world. For 1900 the total for this country was only 58,926,000 bushels, out of 921,076,000 bushels for the countries whose crops are reported. All rivers of Africa have several remarkable peculiarities. They seek the ocean that is farthest away from their source; their course is always broken by falls, and their mouths are stopped by numerous sand banks. A man-made volcano exists in Belgium, which has been burning continuously for nearly 100 years, and emits vast columns of black smoke, rendering the neighboring country barren, baked and utterly unprofitable. D. P. Simpson, a horse buyer in northwestern Kansas, has adopted a new plan of buying horses. He pays so much a pound. Good drivers are quoted at 11 cents a pound, farm horses 10 cents, and ordinary plugs 5 cents. A petrified forest, covering an area of 1,000 square miles, has existed for centuries in Arizona. Thousands and thousands of petrified logs strew the ground, and represent beautiful shades of pink, purple, red, gray, blue and yellow. Fashion is less conspicuous in China than in any other part of the round globe, but even there a sentiment is growing in favor of allowing women's feet to grow to a larger and more nearly normal size than has hitherto been the practice. The wheat crop of the world for 1900 was nearly 167,000,000 bushels, about 6 per cent. short of the preceding crop and about 341,000,000 bushels below the big total of 1898. It exceeded the crops of 1896 and 1897, the latter by 367,000,000 bushels. The total acreage of prairie dog town in Kansas, according to the returns to the agricultural college, is about 2,000,000. The college assumes that there is a population of 50 dogs to the acre and that the prairie dog population is at least 100,000,000. Caravan robbing in Tripoli seems as profitable as holding up pay trains. One captured by Arabs at a place called Damerghon consisted of 13,000 camels, laden with corn, ivory, ostrich feathers and skins, all valued at $825,000. In the fight 210 men were killed. Russia and Austria are the only large European countries which produce more meat than they eat. Their yearly surplus amounts to 105,000 tons. In Siberia rivers flow over ice, old and solid as rock. A tributary of the Lena river has underneath the soil which forms the bed of the river a bed of pure ice over nine feet thick. It is stated that when Lord Salisbury rests his elbow on something his speech flows unchecked, but that when the rest is taken away from him he is halting and undecisive in his speech. In Corea the medical profession is hereditary, passing from father to son. The basis of medical study is a work in 19 volumes, written about 2,000 years ago. An effort is being made by the authorities of Indiana to stock the fields and forests of that state with Mongolian pheasants, said to be the finest game bird in existence. The hop crop of the world reported for 1899, a total of 1,286,460 bales, was the largest in five years, and the crop of the United States the largest since that of 1895, which was 55,000 bales greater. RENAMING THE BIRDS. English Names Being Given Some American Species by the Smithsonian Institution. "The Birds of North and Middle America," by Robert Ridgway, chief ornithologist of the Smithsonian institution, is the name of one of the most remarkable publications of the new century, says a Washington special to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Some eight months ago, Prof. Ridgway, to employ his own words, realizing the fact that English is fast becoming the language of commerce all over the world, and that the demand for plain English terms in all walks of life is growing stronger day by day, decided, that of all sciences, ornithology was one in which English could be employed to the best advantage. He was then preparing the work above mentioned, which gives a summary of the birds of North America as far south as Ecuador, and, finding that there were some 5,000 species of birds on this continent, known only by their scientific names, of Greek and Latin derivation, he decided in view of the fact that very few people, aside from ornithologists, are acquainted with birds by their technical names, which are, as a rule, difficult to pronounce, and impossible to remember, to undertake the task of giving English names to all of the aforesaid 5,000 or more species of American birds, popularizing a science that, for this reason alone, has long remained dull and unattractive. The book just published is a monument to his forethought, and a thing altogether new in science. In it the North American birds are given by their English names, such as "canvasback duck," "blue jay," "wren," "crow," etc. Prof. Ridgway had to invent English names for the 5,000 birds above mentioned, but so far there have been no criticisms passed on his taste in the matter, a result, no doubt, of his having striven to invent for each bird a name that would be short, easy to remember, and at the same time appropriate and descriptive. This is the first time such a thing was ever undertaken in science, and had it occurred as late even as 50 years ago, it is safe to say that the Latin-worshiping savants of that day and time would have thrown up their hands in horror over such an innovation. The scientific men of this city are, however, rapidly reaching the conclusion that the best way to interest the masses in science is to strip it of its mediaevalism. The result of Prof. Ridgway's work will be watched with interest by Washington scientists, many of whom are in favor of applying the same general principle to zoology, palaeontology and geology and of using English in place of the long Latin names, which very few people care to learn or to remember. Johnny Obeyed. "Children," said the teacher, while instructing the class in composition, "you should not attempt any flights of fancy, but simply be yourselves and write what is in you. Do not imitate any other person's writings or draw inspiration from outside sources." As a result of this advice Johnny Wise turned in the following composition: "We should not attempt any flites of fancy, but rite what is in us.

The trials of the experiment electric military railway from Berlin to Zossen are reported to be perfectly successful. The speed of the trains has been gradually increased until now 85 miles are comfortably covered in the hour. The cars run smoothly, and the engineers express confidence that they will attain a speed of 125 miles per hour. The wires have been tested to a capacity of 14,000 volts, but hitherto only 8,000 volts have been necessary. It is expected that a current of 10,000 volts will suffice to give a speed per hour of 125 miles. Best for the Bowels.
