Entered at the post office in Cleveland, Ohio. Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE, Wick Block, Cleveland, Ohio. Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1896 1896 to 1898 1900 to 1902. ALLIED PRINTING TRADE SCHOOL COUNCIL CLEVELAND CLEVELAND, SATURDAY, MAR. 22, 1902. 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. However much the white press and persons of that class may publicly felicitate themselves as a result of the belief that the Afro-American, south or north, or both south and north, regards Mark Hanna as his friend, they are very much mistaken and very foolishly "jollying" themselves. They are not misleading a single intelligent, honorable and loyal member of the race, either. The race's experience with Hanna and McKinley is entirely too recent and distressing to be forgotten, if forgiven in the case of the latter. HANNA IS NOT NOR NEVER WAS A TRUE FRIEND OF THE AFROAMERICAN! As far as we are personally concerned, this is no news to us, because we learned it long ago, as the result of years of personal knowledge and experience with him. THE AMERICAN PULPIT. The perils of our republic are not without cause of serious alarm. The trend of the press discloses no sandbars from which shall come the wreck of state. But the danger lies in the absolute indifference so manifest in our own self national security. From within arises our greatest danger. Since the time of our national independence, our government has been one of trial and experiment. The strength of the nation has never been put to its greatest test. In wisdom, power and achievement, we have attained the highest excellence, yet like Greece and Rome, our duration may be only for a few centuries. In a review of the evils incident to our present critical condition, we are reminded of the duty of the American clergy to signal due warning in rescuing and saving the nation from deterioration and dissolution. The gospel best needed, we do not get, for there is lack of a regulating principle to dominate and guide the better impulses of the people. We need a saving, moral power that shall assert with unerring certainty the highest integrity and the purest patriotism and unless the American pulpit shall declare the gospel in its application to all manner of sin and rebuke wrong in high places, in vain shall we perpetuate the institutions of our country. The light of increasing knowledge cannot avail against the more powerful tendencies to disintegration. The power to save, if it comes at all, must come through renovation and the regenerating influences of the true, Christian civilization. No idle theory of government can guarantee the stability of republics. It remains with the people to preserve it, and unless there is a universal principle of freedom and justice permeating our entire civil and social system, the spirit of faction and discord will strengthen with its strength to the final overthrow of government. No country to-day is beset with the environments and evils which so much threaten the peace and perpetuity of our free institutions. The people are not blind to the situation, nor are our pulpits unconscious of the duties which rest with them to inculcate a pure and ennobbling sentiment of humanity, liberty and patriotism. Possessed with opportunities so rare and at hand to proclaim the blessed gospel of Christ, no nation is better prepared to ingraft into the soul of mankind influences more Christianizing and reformatory. Yet when we consider the mission and possibilities of the Christian churches whose instrumentality for good is everywhere recognized, it is painful to discern the mental bondage as manifested in the display of rhetoric and literary genius which now characterize the great pulpits of our country. It is painful to find the ministry of God, that might rise above environment and force accepting compromise through silence touching the iniquities and practices of the age. It is painful that the American pulpit living in an atmosphere where freedom is allowed, is given to tergiversation, hesitancy and evasiveness upon issues most vital to the nation. The savagery of silence becomes painfully pathetic that our great divines can become so thoroughly spiritual, and in an appeal can rise and fall with impulses and emotions so natural, while they drift into channels quite remote from the subject so mandatory of public attention. The crying evil of Sabbath breaking, mob violence, intemperance and official corruption calls for more than a passing notice. They call for severe and unreleasing treatment. They require the most incessant blows. But the evil of mobocracy is the sum of all villainies. It is the curse and shame which blackens the American name. Let the pulpits of the United States declare that they shall be heard, that lawlessness shall be repudiated and men acknowledge the solemnity of religious obligation, stand in the high places and proclaim as once of old, to be a people whose God is the Lord. DR. PARKHURST'S "KEEP QUIET." The eminent divine, Dr. Parkhurst, of New York City, in a recent sermon, holds that the best thing for Afro-Americans to do is "TO KEEP QUIET." Dr. Parkhurst has acquired high distinction as a leading clergyman, but the Roman maxim "humanum est errare" is as applicable to him as all living mortals. The Normans in their most depressed condition were untiring in their efforts for relief from Caesar's rule. The Commons of England were incessant in their agitation for equal rights and the struggling colonists believed that resistance to tyrants was obedience to God. They demonstrated the fact, that every cardinal principle of humanity and every measure of justice comes only to those who will battle for them. Americans were not less manly, not less brave and patriotic when they fought for national independence, nor should Afro-Americans be deemed less worthy in their aspirations and desire, when they contend for the rights and privileges of a common country. Imbued with the same love of liberty and justice and endowed with all the powers of mind and soul that belong to God's humanity, the Negro does not relinquish the great task of his mission in life without surrendering himself as the slave to a cruel and merciless tyranny. He who would be free must do his part in order to assure to himself the fruits of victory. Adown the ages, there comes a note of warning to the oppressed of all lands: "Cry Aloud and Spare Not." In the midst of the present trying ordeal when the teachings of the gospel of Christ are being perverted and the principles of moral truth are being distorted and atheism and infidelity are applauded and Jehovah is mocked and the black man is persecuted, robbed of his God-given rights, mobbed and killed all the day long, does it not seem a madness unnatural that the Afro-American should be commanded to hold his peace? Is Dr. Parkhurst so blind to all moral reasoning that he does not see that our cause is just, and will he espouse the cause of righteousness among men while he panders to the wicked sentiment of caste, prejudice and hate in riveting chains of oppression upon those whose rights are as sacred as his and who, knowing their rights, dare defend them? The great man Franklin has said: "Where freedom is, there is my country," and if America is the land of the free and the home of the brave, should it not be commended on the part of all citizens, irrespective of race or nationality, to preserve intact and in fact the American idea of a full and absolute freedom to all the inhabitants of our beloved country? Is Dr. Parkhurst a true patriot; is he a statesman of the kind and is he a minister born of the Holy Spirit; a man of God emulating the life and teachings of the Savior and Redeemer of mankind? Then why should he draw the line of discrimination against the race; why bridle the tongue of the black man while his cause rests largely and mainly with himself? No! No! Rather let the Afro-American be heard on his own behalf; let him speak for his cause and like Paul before Agrippa, feel himself proud that in God's name he can declare the righteousness of the word as proclaimed through the thunders and smoke of Sinai. Too long has the nation bent the knee to Baal, and American divines have in weakness and practice shared in this apostacy. But on the darkened past there gleams the light of the souls of a Tappan, a Beecher and a Finney which still feeds the lamp of hope, and nerved from a 'sense of right to ourselves, our race and country, we will battle on till death. A voice from the upper world calls every Afro-American to duty and he feels in his soul the impulse of that voice impelling him to press forward. Against every storm and conflict, we shall ring out the word of eternal truth, shall waft it upon every wind, we shall sound it alike in the tyrant's ear, we shall press it home to the people's hearts. No glittering generalities, no sophistry of reasoning can shut out the light or crush out the rising spirit of freedom and hope which today animates the bosom of the Afro-American in the land of our nativity. The star of destiny leads onward. Then let our purpose be onward and upward. A Horrible Accident. Lockland and Wyoming. — Harry Wilbrink, the boy preacher, is holding revivals at the A. M. E. church. He preached two able sermons Sunday and gave a panorama Friday evening. It was well attended.—The A. M. E. Baptist and Christian churches are preparing Easter services.—The installation of Rev. Orr, of Mt. Zion church, was conducted by Rev. J. J. Jackson, of Cincinnati. Mr. Monroe Morris was ordained by Rev. Smith, of Glendale, and Rev. Orr. Many from Cincinnati and Glendale attended the services, which were impressive.—Messrs. Moses Tandy and Peter Smith, of Glendale, were Rev. and Mrs. Coleman's guests.—Miss Bush., Mr. L. Williams and Mr. and Mrs. Anberg, of Cincinnati, were Mrs. Sarah Odren's guests Sunday.—Frank Marshall, aged 14, only son of Mr. and Mrs. John Marslill, was killed on the C., H. & D. railroad Wednesday by a freight train.

Horn, inspector of oils in the fire department; Daniel Morrison, inspector in the dock department; Richard Ross, stenographer in the dock department, and 40 more other clerkships and messengerships, not forgetting 200 appointments in the "White Wings" street cleaning department in the city of New York. All told, the colored democrats of New York City have been receiving $100,000 a year in salaries. The best showing in the country. Mayor Low, republican, has appointed only one Afro-American since his incumbency, (January 1, 1902.) George L. Archer, messenger in the mayor's office. On the other hand, Mayor Low dropped Samuel R. Scottron, republican, of Brooklyn, who succeeded T. McCants Stewart, democrat, and for the first time within 20 years no Afro-American is a member of the school board of Greater New York. Gov. Odell. Senator Timothy Ellsworth and Speaker Nixon and the republican powers at Albany have provided ten or fifteen very poor and insignificant places for the colored patriots in the state departments at Albany. Richard Croker, as the leader of Tammany Hall, made Edward Lee the "Colored Croker" of the town, and it was through Croker and Lee that the United Colored Democracy club was organized at 148 West Fifty-third street. This club includes a restaurant, billiard room and reading room, and this was all done by Richard Croker, who believes that the AfroAmerican should have a few of the fancy biscuits of life. Just as Afro-American republicans are snubbed here and by the Roosevelt administration, so were they snubbed by the McKinley-Hanna administration in favor of the "lilywhites," north and south, and so are they being snubbed all over the country. Tammany Hall's recognition of our people, right here in New York City, is simply wonderful! Remember, it is the mightiest local democratic organization in the country, too. Food for thought in this.

MISS VIRGINIA GRANES Tells How Hospital Physicians Use and Rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM: —Twelve years continuous service at the sick bed in some of our prominent hospitals, as well as at private homes, has given me varied experiences with the diseases of women. I have nursed some A. MISS VIRGINIA GRANES, President of Nurses' Association, Watertown, N.Y. most distressing cases of inflammation and ulceration of the ovaries and womb. I have known that doctors used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound when everything else failed with their patients. I have advised my patients and friends to use it and have yet to hear of its first failure to cure. "Four years ago I had falling of the womb from straining in lifting a heavy patient, and knowing of the value of your Compound I began to use it at once, and in six weeks I was well once more, and have had no trouble since. I am most pleased to have had an opportunity to say a few words in praise of your Vegetable Compound, and shall take every occasion to recommend it."— MISS VIRGINIA GRANES.—$5000 forfeit if whose testimonial is not genuine. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has stood the test of time, and has cured thousands. Mrs. Pinkham advises sick women free. Address, Lynn, Mass. Easily Swallowed. "I don't quite know what the lady meant," says an elderly physician, "but whatever it was, she meant it hard. She came to my office last Tuesday, and after considering her case I wrote a prescription, which was to be put up in capsules of very large size. I explained the why and wherefore of this to her, and asked her if she could swallow anything so big. She looked at me in an acidulous way. "'Swallow it!' she said. 'Why, my husband belongs to two whist clubs and more lodges than you could count. Swallow it! Humph! I reckon I haven't been married ten years without learning to swallow bigger things than that.'" -Washington Post. $25.00 TO CALIFORNIA.

A Car Load of Dimes One would naturally think that the package dye business was a small industry, but there is more than one million dollars worth of package, dyes sold in the United States every year. One of the largest package dye factories in the world is that of the Putnam Fadeless Dyes Co., Unionville, Mo. In this factory alone, three million packages of Putnam Fadeless Dyes are made every year. To put up this amount of dyes requires the handling of seven million of envelopes, think of it, seven millions of envelopes laid lengthwise would reach a distance of seven hundred miles; if laid one upon the other they would make a pile of Putnam Fadeless Dyes miles high. As each envelope has to be handled five times before a package is complete, the completion of three millions of packages requires that they be handled thirty-five million times. This of course gives employment to a number of people, the Putnam Fadeless Dye Company alone employ almost a hundred people, 90 per cent. of whom are young ladies. As each package retails for 100 the weight of the retail price of the three millions packages in dimes is 18,000 pounds, or almost a car load.

Starting with 50 Men, Eleven of Them Died from Exhaustion -- The Party Suffered Countless Hardships--Expedition a Failure. Washington, March 20.—The navy department has made public another report from Maj. Waller, recounting in detail the stirring events of his tragic effort to cross the island of Samar. Maj. Waller begins with a statement that Lieut. Williams, Seventh infantry, who had returned from a 12 days' trip in a fruitless search for a trail, and Capt. Pickering urged him not to make the attempt to cross Samar on account of the difficulties. But he decided to make the attempt in view of the commanding general's evident desire to find the trail and run a wire across, starting with 50 men on December 26 from Lanang. The rivers were much swollen and it took a long time to get the boat through the rapids. Trails were picked up only to be lost again and the rain came down in torrential bursts. The river the men were following curved almost to a circle, and the banks held no trails. The route crossed and recrossed the river every few minutes, and the men began to develop water sores and chafes. The knowledge that they made four or five miles in direction for each 12 miles of march was depressing. On the 30th reduced rations were issued. A raft was built, but sank with one man on it. Starting down the river, word came to Waller that many men could not keep up, so he decided to forge ahead for relief with 13 of the strongest men, leaving Capt. Porter in command of the main body. Word from the rear was that the men could make only three miles a day. There was only enough bacon to fry the potatoes. The natives were reported to be threatening Porter and altogether the expedition was in a bad way. Two natives were captured and pressed into service as guides. Finally the Spanish trail was found, but simultaneously a large boat was discovered and the start was made for Basey. The report says: "The men, realizing that all was over and that they were safe, and once more near home, gave up. Some quietly wept, others laughed hysterically. Most of the men had no shoes; cut, torn, bruised and dilapidated, they had marched without murmur for 29 days, and had accomplished what no white troops had done before." At Basey Waller was taken sick with fever, and suffered also from his injured ankle. He says that the expedition was of no value except to show that the mountains can be penetrated and that there are no insurgents there. Waller says that he was the only one of his party able to move on February 8. Ten of the men died of exhaustion and one in the hospital. All of the others, except Capt. Beares, Lieut. Halford, Lieut. Lyles and Xuj. Waller himself, either were or had been in the hospital at the date of the report. The length of his march was 250 miles. QUESTION OF TITLE. The Senate's Isthmian Commission Argues It. Washington, March 20.—Senator Morgan, from the committee on isthmian canals, has presented to the senate the majority and minority reports of that committee on the question of the validity of the title of the new Panama Canal Co. and its right to transfer the Panama canal property to the United States for $40,000,000. The objections of the majority to the title held by that company are based largely on the relations of the canal company to the governments of France and Colombia, but the committee also discusses at length many other phases of the question. Among these is the relation of the shareholders who subscribed $260,000,000 to the old Panama Co., whose interests, the report holds, cannot be lightly regarded. On this point the report says: The spectacle of the United States congress authorizing the president, as the agent of our government, to conduct a trade with such a corporation (the new Panama Co.) without consulting France as to the claim of independence it (the new Panama Co.) asserts, will be entirely new in the history of nations and its consequences cannot be lightly disregarded. "Among these is the serious danger of the United States being drawn into disagreeable relations with a large and influential body of the people of France whose friendship for us has been cherished during the entire life of our republic, and had its origin in magnanimous sacrifices for our country when this government was in the travail of its birth. Unfortunately the report of the isthmian canal commission reveals the fact that the men who make us the offer are chief among those who defrauded these 600,000 or 800,000 Frenchmen of $250,000,000." The minority report completely upholds the title of the New Panama Co. Found No Clew. Indianapolis, March 20.—Adams Express Co. officials say, concerning the disappearance of L. S. McKee, of Indianapolis, their messenger running from Indianapolis to St. Louis, on March 3, that absolutely no clew has been found. The whole country has been covered with pictures and descriptions of McKee. Fertilizer Plant Destroyed. Columbus, O., March 20.—The warehouse of the Ohio Farmers' Fertilizer Co., covering about two acres, was burned last night. Loss $60,000; fully insured. A Great Estate. New York, March 20.—The Tribune says: The Collis P. Huntington estate, now being inventoried by the state's transfer tax appraisers, acting with the executors, will amount to about $28,000,000 or $29,000,000. The transfer tax will approximate $800,000. Have No Power to Erjoin Boycotters, Jefferson City, Mo., March 20.—In the supreme court yesterday an opinion was handed down declaring that courts of equity have no power to enjoin labor organizations from enforcing boycotts on corporations, THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 22, 1902. THE CRUMPACKER RESOLUTION A Strong Argument in Its Favor-Why Every Afro-American Especially Should Support It. Detroit, Mich.—Replying to an editorial that appeared in The Informer of this city, it seems to me that before any Negro attempts to discourage wholesome legislation in congress or elsewhere he should first well consider the real motive and probable effect of the proposed law that forms his subject matter. There are, as a rule, two great political elements in every community, to witt: an element for doing good and an element for doing evil. The former springs from a general desire, inherent in much the larger proportion of humanity, to accord strict justice to all men, but is less assertive than the opposing element. The latter is born of pure selfishness both as to the gaining and retention of power and of using this political power to serve private ends and is always aggressive. Now all law had its origin in the Bible and was based largely on the Ten Commandments and indeed formerly was administered by the church dignitaries. The spirit of this law of holy ordination was embodied in our Declaration of Independence and excepting as to slaves was adopted in our constitution. After the abolition of slavery the constitution was amended for the purpose of extending to the ex-slaves all the benefits of so just a constitution, and this was done with the almost unanimous consent of the American people. Since that time the selfish element, in some communities, has pursued a bold policy of intimidation against ex-slaves for the purpose of eliminating them from the field of political action on the one hand, and for reducing them to a condition of semiservitude on the other, and as a result of this policy, successfully carried out, many laws have been passed with a view to giving legal effect to the reduced condition of the latter class of citizens, among which is the law disfranchising a very large number of voters in the communities affected, most of whom are Negroes. The constitution provides that when the right to vote is denied to the male inhabitants of a state, being 21 years of age and citizens of the United States, "the basis of representation therein SHALL be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens, 21 years of age in such state." Inasmuch as the Crumpacker resolution seeks to obey this plain mandate of the constitution by reducing the congressional representation of such states as have reduced their voting population, it is difficult to understand how anyone can term it "class legislation," much less to deny it the hearty support it deserves. The south has circumvented the constitution by adopting a "Grandfather clause" voting qualification, and the only remedy provided by that instrument is the offset of reducing the representation which it commands. As the laws restricting the suffrage affect, for the most part, Afro-Americans, they ought to meet in mass convention in every state and petition their representatives in congress to support this measure and thus remind the republican majority that they are alive to their rights and that they resent the denial of their brethren in the south. But people are prone to slumber while the thief plys his calling at night, and it is safe to say that many of the politicians will act upon the Crumpacker resolution as best suits their personal interests.

Washington Tells of an Interview With the Kalser's Brother. Boston, Mass.—Booker T. Washington was in Boston recently in connection with matters relating to Tuskegee institute. When asked concerning his presentation to Prince Henry of Prussia, he said: "As I understand it, the prince asked Admiral Evans to nave me presented to him mainly for the reason that he wanted to talk with me concerning the work of the Tuskegee graduates who are introducing the raising of cotton in the German-African colony. The prince also spoke of being deeply interested in the progress of the Afro-American in America, about which he asked many questions. He also asked me to send him a copy of my book, 'Up From Slavery,' and a volume of the Hampton institute plantation songs. He said that few things had pleased him so much as the singing of the Hampton students, and expressed an earnest wish that the songs might not be permitted to die." FATALLY SHOT. West-Patterson and Jackson-Manly Marriages-Other Personal and Social News. Steubenville, O.—Larry Mumford, aged about 25 years, single, while at the Pan-Handle station Saturday night was pounced upon by P. H. R. officer John Jester. The result was a rough and tumble fight, in which the former received a severe bullet wound in the breast. They had fought over several hundred feet of ground to a saloon, where two city officers helped to overpower Mumford. It is customary for a city policeman to be at the depot during the arrival and departure of all trains. Where were these officers at 9:30 p. m. and a train due in eight minutes? How is it they did not hear the shot? Various excuses for one thing or another are offered by all the officers. Mumford is in the hospital in a dying condition—all because while under the influence of liquor he was vomiting at the depot in the presence of Office Jester. Our people of this community should employ the best legal talent to be secured and not only see that Mumford gets justice, but that all of the officers receive their just dues for his mistreatment and any failure to do their full duty.—Miss Jennie West and Mr. David Patterson were married Wednesday evening at the bride's. Rev. T. C. Lewis officiating. Only the family of the bride and one or two friends were present. The young couple received many handsome and useful presents. They will reside on S.

A Boer Envoy Says the Alliance with the Irish Has Helped the Boers. New York, March 20.—Messrs. Wolmarans and Wessels, the Boer envoys, will sail for France to-day on the steamship La Gascogne. Mr. Wolmarans, said last night in the course of an interview: "Since we have been in this country it has been said that our alliance with the Irish has hurt our cause. On the eve of our return we must deny the statement and declare that the alliance has been profitable to us, both on the battlefield and by the fight which is being waged for us by the Irish members in the English parliament. First we have to thank the Dutch, next the Irish and then the Germans. We know also that the people of the United States are with us heart and soul, and we believe that a few words of sympathy from the United States senate and house of representatives would go a great ways in helping us with the nations of the old world." Added $3,000,000 to Tax Duplicate. Added $3,000,000 to Tax Duplicate. Toledo, March 20.—County Auditor Godfrey added $3,140,390 to the tax duplicate on the personal property of the Toledo Traction Co., which is now controlled by the Toledo Railways and Light Co. The returns of the Traction Co. were $240,000. The auditor's finding was made up by the evidence furnished by the tax inquisitor, which showed a complete inventory of the stock and property of the companies and the alleged true value. As the companies put in no evidence there was nothing left for the auditor to do but make his finding in accordance with these figures. The Reciprocity Bill Is Framed. Washington, March 20.—Chairman Payne, of the ways and means committee, has framed the Cuban reciprocity bill as decided upon at the republican conference Tuesday night, and introduced it in the house. The bill has two sections. The first gives the president authority to negotiate a reciprocity agreement with Cuba, granting 20 per cent. concessions on all goods. The second section covers the so-called Sibley amendment limiting the duration of the reciprocity period to December 1, 1903.

The authorities have refused to copyright a Scotch whisky label that bears in large staring letters "King Edward VII." They claim that the names of living people are their own property, and that other people have no right to demand a proprietary interest in them. They also suggest that it would be well for whisky men to get King Edward's consent before taking any such liberty as the one proposed. But who expects that the king will consent to the use of his name? He would be foolish if he did. Just picture a line of thirsty men ranged along a bar. "Fill your glasses, gentlemen," says the man who buys, and they solemnly pass the bottle of "King Edward VII." along the line. "A toast, gentlemen. Up with your glasses. 'Are you ready? Then down with the king.'" And they solemnly down him.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. $33.00 to Pacific Const.
