THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and ‘has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the €nterest of Afro-Americans, published im the state of Ohio, and comparison ‘with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the-country. —— Eee FLANK THE COWARDLY jwORK OF THE “LILLY WHITE.”" ‘There are thousands of Afro-Amer- Scans quite unconcerned in regard to their political status .as.u voting ele~ ament, but it behooves them as men and citizens to awaken from this dethargy to a full sense of their duty ‘and apply their soul’s best energy in furtherance of righteous claims and tthe maintainance .of ‘our manhood rights. We.are men:among men, and thrown amid the activities of this hustling American life, we must do ‘our part to conserve the primary ‘ends of human governments. ‘The right way is the best way, and it would prove iadishonest deal with tthe parties concerned for either the ‘ene or the other to surrender those claims to which all citizens are justly ‘entitled. We simply cannot do this. Where is a community of interest in- wolved which demands of every mn an honest exercise of his politi- te influence. ‘The moral law pre- geribes our duties and it should gov- ‘ern our actions even in our political ain This law exists primarily for securing the rights of the people end without these rights the law is wbrogated. The Afro-American,is a part of the government and the peo- ple in common, and the law exists as much for him as it does for the more vored of the republic. The: fact jat_ some are more favored than oth- @%s is no proof to superior claims un- ler the government. Our country is wifty and prosperous, but it is so ‘because Aifro-Americans have helped ‘to make it so. Shall we be proscrib- a and denied the privileges of an equal government on account of mere racial distinction, and that, too, con- trary to the moral and the fundamen- ‘tal law of the land? Shall a haughty and impeious oligarchy assume the control of our political machinery and dictate the management of af- fairs in the interest of seJfish and despotic tyranny? Kather should not ‘we, whovare. citizens, receive due en- couragement and’share an equal part in the protection of the law and the government, Now we are forced to ask who is this modern Caesar that dares offer this personal affront. to Afro-American citizens? Who is Senator Pritchard and who is mil- lionaire Hanna that they should pre- sume in the face of the law and com- mon justice to eliminate the Afro- American from the politics of the American people? The effort, how- ever, can ‘in no wise promise good to the republican party nor to the coun- try. It savors only of incalculable mischief and turmoil to the advo- eates of Taw and free government. ‘When the states of the Union ratified the action of congress in fixing the political status of Afro-Americans in this country, the decree was final and «complete. Why should Americans re- sort to the mean and ‘loathsome task ‘of pilfering him out of his well earn- ed rewards. The friend and benefac- tor of thenation anda tried and trust- ed patriot who has svood unfaltering- ly for the cause of Americans and the republic, why should Afro-Americans ‘be thus hounded, goaded and jaded about a well merited legacy? Our government is in many respects as strong as an impregnable wall and ean well afford to be generous to all of its citizens. But many of her boast- ed citizens disloyal and ungrateful to-day are proving themselves its worst and most persistent foes. Blind ‘to the most saered demands of the hour and nerved by an impulse than animates the heart of traitors, they Tend themselves to a service, beeause ‘to persecute and degrade Afro-Ameri- cans seems to be the winning ecard and the one thing most popular. ee ee ree TO THE RESCUE. If Afro-Americans mean to be in earn>st, if they mean to be alive in regard to the immense duty which now confronts them, they will lose no opportunity to strike well direct- ed blows agafast a deceitful foe, which seeks to strip them of their political strength wherever it is pos- sible to do so, The enemy is found in’our own ranks and it behooves us to organize against him and to bring him to see the folly of his heartless treachery. Treachery in no way has ever been honorable and fair dealing. Unfaithful party leaders never have and never can do more to disrupt the party. They ean do nothing more or less than traitors and being false in ny respect to their own Obligations, they prove themselves false to the érust reposed in them. For the first time in American polities hasgt been known tuat the leaders of a party have sought so defiantly to prescribe @ portion of thelr followers in fur- therance of designs so futile andemp- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, 0., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1902. ty Conditions everywhere prove the| imstability of our present party lead-| ers. Men little scruple to engage in dishonest deals in order to conserve | the ends of an inordi1ate ambition, But when party leaders join in an unholy alliance against their own fol- lowers in order to conciliate a bold and open enemy, wé have at last reached the climax of unmitigated villainy. Democracy itself has never in all its history betrayed such lack of consistency and fealty to its army of followers. The republican party under the leadership of Mark Hanna, Senator Pritchard and President Roosevelt have attempted a game at which they cannot win. Without the semblance of fair dealing, they have inaugurated a movement to displace Afro-Americans from the party of their first love and drive him from the face of the earth. But whether consulted or not or whether admit- ted into the councils of the party, he nevertheless remains a power be- hind the ‘throne, will assert his strength and prove his availability in ‘the moment when he is most needed. ‘To-day -Afro-Ameficans must stand together, they must ponder well the ‘situation before them, determine | their course of action and make such ‘terms as will best conserve their rights and immunities as citizens of a great republic and members of a great party. We can and we must do our part and guard well those rights to which we are entitled under a com- mon government. ‘We need not hesi- tate and we must be as ready to flank our foes as they are to flank us. He who would be free must himself strike the blow. Let us enter into a concert of action in the north and let our votes be so cast as shall neu- tralize the force of the action of the “lily white” republicans of the south and their northern allies, in their narrow and selfish designs. If repub- licans in the south mean to ignore Afro-Americans, then let Afro-Ameri- cans in the north ignore republican leaders in the north who dictate this action. We have nothing to lose on our part in taking a bold and fear- less stand for the cause of justice. We have everything to gain by prov- ing our loyalty and our devotion to those principles upon which the great party of Sumner and Lincoln and Grant was founded. Great is Hanna: and great is Roosevelt, but it is the’ consummation of supreme madness for these embryo statesmen to in- augurate a movement so hazardous, to the safety of the party and the, cause of the government. As citizens’ let us maintain our vested rights; let us prove ourselves as faithful to our integrity, our manhood and the cause of free government as any other class of Americans, and let us do so with- out compromise or the sacrifice of principle and honor. The motive ac- tuating the men who now seek to disarm the Negro is of the sordid and meaner kind and availeth nothing un- der republican system. The rigut of citizenship demands a fair and hon- orable discharge of duty to every citizen. But when men of either party, meet in: conventions to caucus against rights which are the common heritage of all, it indicates a rotten- ness that calls for ‘the severest re- taliation, AfrosAmerican delegates in the south are being turned down in republican state conventiozs. The fight seems to have just kegan. The “lily whites” are resolved on the elimination of the Afro-American from the republican party in the south, Let us be as wise as serpents and as harmless as doves and hold ourselves in readiness to bafile a de- sign so cowardly and base. In the northern states we constitute a strength of nearly a half million of voters. At least we poll the vote of 478,000 strong. To make the republi- can party in the south respectable, we are there denied the right of rep- resentation in republican conven- tions. Let us therefore know the leaders who are engaged in this eru- sade against Afro-Americans, let us adopt methods most advisable and re- sort to such means in the exercise of the franchise as may preserve to our- selves unimpaired the blessings of liberty to the citizen. RECOVERED HIS VOICE. Eclipse of the Moon. Washington, D. C.—To some pe- culiar and inexplicable lunar phenom- aes accompanying the total eclipse of the moon, on last week Thursday ‘night, Howard Merriman, the aged “Afro-American messenger of the tréasury department press room, at- ‘tributes the recovery of his voice. For ‘months past Merriman has been ‘hardly able to make himself heard in a whisper, his vocal cords apparent- ‘ty being paralyzed. But last week ‘Friday morning, when he reported ‘for work, he greeted his chief in a elear, strong, youthful voice. Merri- man solemnly and seriously asserted that during the eclipse he found his voice changing, and when the moon had passed out of the earth's shadow his voice was as clear and as strong as in the days of the reconstruction period following the war, when he was a sheriff in lower Mississippi and aided in running down members of the infamous Ku-Klex Klan. pep Ne Flushing, O0.—iMrs. Albert Cole drove to Trenton Sunday after her daughter, Miss Aliee—Mr. Lewis Carter was in Cleveland last week.— |J.

The National Republican and Congressional Committees Responsible. They Can Stop Republican Disfranchisement in the South-—It is Now Up to Chairmen Hanna and Babcock--The Bundy Interview. Won. H. C. Smith, Editor Gazette: Dear Sir—In reply to your card in- viting me to give my views on the po- litical condition confronting the Ne- gro voters in North Carolina and other sections of the United States, I would say that the actions of Sena- tor Pritchard, of North Carolina, who poses as the mouthpiece of the white southern republicans is cowardly, brutal and wanton. I say cowardly because none but moral cowards are ungrateful. All that Senator Pritch- ard is to-day (politically) he acquired at the hands of the Negroes of North Carolina, for at the time he was a candidate for a seat in the United States senate none could rival him in obsequiousness to the Negro mem- bers of the general assembly and their friends., He was a veritable Pecksnif to some and an Abinedab Sleek to others, and at present would fill the roll of a Titus Oates were it in his power to add to his betrayal of ‘those who aided him in the hour of his dire distress, persecution and even extermination. But the senator is. not alone ¢ulpable for his acts; he and his henchmen are but the out- growth of a sentiment that grew out of fusion and its attendant evils. 1 have seen some screed in the press stating that the president of the Uni- ted States has said some soothing words to certain clergymen who vis- ited him a few days since, and the Rev. gentlemen are satisfied (so states the press). However this may be, we have yet to’hear a word of condemnation from the republican national executive committee, that body which absolutely controls with- in the party such matters, nor has the republican congressional com- mittee, now engaged in endeavoring to persuade the people of the sev- eral states to elect republicans to the next congress, had a word to say on the subject. Both of these organiz- ations should tell the Negro voters of the several states how the repub- lican political machine is acting in this all-important matter. They cannot shift the responsibility to the president, for, saving in the distribu- tion of the loaves and fishes, he is un- able to dictate the party's policy in treating its members. Speak out, gentlemen, election day is at hand, and you are appealing to the Negroes of some of the states to come over and help you élect your candidates, while you smile at Pritchard and his ilk inthe south, as they damn and eject the Negro from the councils of the party. Speak out and condemn o1 condone the action of Pritchard as you like, but don’t hide in the bushes of silence. The Negro is en. titled to know whether you are his friend or foe. The question for the Negro to consider, as I take it, ts, how will they meet and successfully overcome the conditions that con. front them? I would advise thorough organization in every county, con: gressional district and state. Let: it be understood and strictly adhered to, that the Negroes are independent yoters and will vote only with the party that advocates and practically puts into effect and enacts measures according to them the full recogni: tion of American citizenship. Cease sending through the press high sounding resolutions that are mean. ingless and forgotten before the ink with which they are written is dry. but ACT with promptness and mean. ing what you say, nothing more nor nothing less.: Do not be led astray by promises, or compromise princi: ples because Mr. A..or Mr. B. has been given or promised an office. Let it be fully understood that we are not clamoring as mendicants for office. but that we insist upon the. ful recognition of our rights as Ameri: can citizens and that nothing less will suffice. In North Carolina the conditions to be filled precedent tc acquiring the right to vote, I am of opinion will in the main be beneficial to the Negro, in that it will cause him to study and at least acquaint himself with the organic law and its requirements. ‘The payment of a poll-tas; which applies to both races alike, is, I take it, no great hardship, ‘ especially as the largest portion of the tax is applied to the support of the common schools of the state, and under the present administration facilities for a common school educa. tion are at the disposal, in every county of the state, to all persons over the age of 6 and under 21 years, All persons should cheerfully pay the necessary taxes’ for the support of the government. Citizenship with its privileges carry also its responsibili- ties, and these should be assumed and discharged as faithfully as the privileges are demanded and enjoyed I am opposed to the so-called “grand- father clause” in our state constitu- tion as ‘recently amended, for I be- lieve that an ignorant white man is as unable to intelligently discharge the duties of citizenship as an ignor- ant Negro is said to be, and the law should apply to both races alike, and this will be so after the year 1908. Let us organize, depending solely apon God and ourselves, ever remem- bering that “he who would be free must himself strike the blow.” J. E. OHATA. New Bern, N. C., Oct. 12, 1902. Hon. H. C.

Birmingham, “Ala.—The Alabama republican state eonvention was held Sept. 16 with not an Afro-American participating in the deliberations. There were about 300 delegates in at- tendance. It is the first white repub- liean state convention ever held in Alabama. James Bowron, of Birming- ham, was temporary chairman. He made a speech of an hour’s duration, after which Senator J. C. Pritchard, of North Carolina, was introduced and spoke for an hour. He is chairman of his state republican committee, and was chairman of the recent North Carolina state republican convention which also barred out Afro-American republican delegations. (regularly elected) headed by ex-Congressmen Cheatham and O'Hara, and_ other prominent men of the race. ‘That is why he was invited to the Alabama convention of last week. Senator Hanna, of Cleveland, chairman of the national republican committee, con- dones the elimination from republi- can politics of the southern Afro- American. Wilf our brethren in Ohio please remember this fact and help us by opposing him? It is our only hope for the future. OUR COMPLAINTS. In ae Caustic Interview Presiding Elder Bundy Enumerates Them. Rev. Chas. Bundy, president of our local ministers’ union, said a few days ago in an interview published in a daily paper that “the republican leaders have not treated us fairly, and we are disgusted. The colored ‘people hold the balance of power, and they can have their rights if they demand them. We might as well be- gin the fight in this city as anywhere else, so we are preparing this open letter to colored voters. Our griev- ances are striking and of a nature to appeal to every colored voter. We have been disfranchised in several states of the south and the republic- an majority inggongress refused to do anything. Tohied refused to legis- late against the “Jim Crow” ear laws of many southern states and against the monstrous cancerous crime, lynching. It passed the reapportion- ment Dill increasing the congress representation of several of those ‘disfranching’ southern states, when the federal law explicitly says it should be decreased in proportion to the number of citizens disfranchised. It also refused to do ANYTHING for my people and capped the climax when it re-enacted and amended the Chinese exclusion act, which robs every Afro-American of the citizen- right of testifying in the United States courts as a witness in certain cases. Then, too, Senator Hanna chairman of the national republican committee, appointed a democrat. by the name of John G. Capers (white) a member of the national republican committee when he knew “he great majority of the members of the state republican committee of South Caro- lina had indorsed for the place its chairman (Deas), an Afro-American, whom he also tried to prevent being elected to the chairmanship. Hanna and McKinley, an@ later on Roosevelt, recognized and recognizes southern democrats for appointment to tne best federal positions in that section of the country and turn down loyal black republicans, thousands “of whom in years gone by have been shot down in their tracks like so many mad dogs, simply because they sought and were trying to vote and support the republican party, now disgraced by such miserable, insult- ing and hurtful leadership. Here ir Cleveland the black voter has not only been ignored and refused places, but insulted, and grossly, too, in ways too numerons to mention. It is simply an insult to any intelligent Afro-American for Hanna to approach him in the interest of the party or its candi- dates, when the treatment of his peo- ple by McKinley, Hanna, Roosevelt, the national republican committee and the recent republican congress is remembered. The thing for the loyal local Afro-American to do this fall and next spring is to NOT vote the republican ticket whatever he does— it, indeed, he does anything in the way of voting.” AMEN!

BEATE CH Utes RSs eee news New Orleans, La.—After a session of several days the white and colored serew men who are engaged in load- ing cotton in the holds of vessels have agreed upon a division of the work and scale of wages which they will force upon ship agents. A strike has been impossible before because the Afro-American screw men had signed a three years’ contract with the ship agents. This agreement they have finally abandoned to join forces with the white screw men. The cotton loading will be divided equally be- tween the two forces and each ship will be required to employ exactly the same number of colored and whites. ‘The two races, however, will not work together. The former will be in the front when the whites are working in the stern of the boat. Tne serew men will also object to the use of chutes which slide the cotton into the ship's hold and facilitate and ex- pedite the loading and will establish 180 bales as a day’s work, whereas by using chutes, they have been able to load 400 bales a day to each hold or opening. ‘The screw men believe that they can enforce their demands with- out a strike now that they have all the screw men in their movement.

Americans In a Moorlsh Town are Sur onnded by HMostile Fanatics. Gibraltar, Oct. 30.—A letter received from George C. Reed, a Kansas mis- sionary at Mequinez, Morocco, with several other Americans, indicates that numerous interior tribes have broken out in rebellion. The roads, it is added, are infested with bandits and travel is unsafe, native senti- ment taking the form of a geneva anti-foreign crusade, Fanatics have torn up the survey flags maraing the line of the-sultan’s railroad, clanning anat they were emblems of foreign suzerainty over Morocco. Mr. Reed continues: “[ consider the situation grave in- deed. If the sultan is able to call the loyal tribes to his aid and thor- oughiy punish the rebellious Girwans, who were the ehief movers in the re- cent raids and robberies ae will make his position all the more secure; but if he does not succeed in doing so the trohble is bound to thicken.

The first two broke in part, or whole, pledges made our people when they ran before, relative to representation in their offices. Kennedy is notorious with our people as a result of the remark he made the past summer when sentencing an Afro-American by the name of Carter to the workhouse. It is not necessary to repeat what he said relative to colored people being south "where they are lynched," because that is too well known. Walter Meals Is not and never has been any friend of our people and showed it in the county convention of last year. These men are on the republican ticket. Scratch their names off. It was a mistake to ever have nominated or renominated them. Mrs. J. S. Thomas has pneumonia. Mr. J. Norris, of Youngstown, was here a few days this week. Miss Blanch G.

There were only a "handful" of our people at the republican meeting, the chief speaker of which was Hanna, at the Forest street armory Monday night, October 20. Good. Mr. Samuel Jones died and was buried recently under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias, to which order he belonged. His wife, Mrs. Prudence Wilson West Jones, died about a year ago. It is currently rumored that John D. Rockefeller has withdrawn his $500 provisional gift to the Old Folks' Home pending the publication of its financial report for the last two or three years. Don't forget the date, September 20. Why? Because on that date the Young Ladies' Loyalty club of Shiloh church will give their second entertainment. Come out and help them. Bring your friends and your friends' friends with you and help them in their cause. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Daw, of Beechwood street, have returned from Washington, D. C., where they attended the G. A. R. encampment, visited friends and relatives. Mrs. Daw was gone about three weeks. Her sister, Mrs. Van Brackle, of Washington, is here visiting her. Many attended quarterly meeting at Cory chapel Sunday. Rev. Smith, of Bainbridge, Ga., and Rev. Johnson, of New Orleans, assisted the presiding elder. Miss Effie Copes, president of the sub-district Woman's Home Missionary society of Oberlin, was present and organized a society. The society met at the parsonage Friday afternoon. Rev. J. H. Smith, of Bainbridge, Ga., preached ably at Cory chapel Sunday, Monday and Tuesday evenings and lectured Wednesday on "Race Pride and Conditions in the South." Rev. Smith is a very strong speaker and had large audiences. He was here attending the missionary convention and visited The Gazette sanctum on Wednesday. S. E. Woods, J. P. Green and other ex-local Afro-Americans holding petty jobs in the departments at Washington were hustled home the past week to help carry the election. Poor John has been floundering around like a fish out of water, evidently fearful that he will lose his job. Thus doth Hanna crack his whip over the back of his political slaves. The. Jewett Anti-Lynching league will meet at St. John's church Monday evening, November 3, in mass meeting to discuss the outrages perpetrated against our people by lynching and mob violence. Messrs. J.

The annual ingathering of the Old Folks' Home, held Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last week, was a success in point of donations and attendance. Dinner was served from 12 to 3. In the evening the Mendelssohn orchestra furnished music. Those present were also entertained by little Miss Irene Hammond, a promising reader; Mrs. George Jones and the East End trio. The financial report of the home is still "coming." Afro-Americans who do not feel like voting either the democratic or republican ticket on election day next week can vote the prohibition, socialist or any other ticket except the two objectionable ones. Hanna is kicking Afro-American republicans out or the party in North Carolina and Alabama. We can help "bump his head" here in Cleveland and show him that THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1902. such a despicable and ungrateful course is not only obnoxious to us, but also hurtful. Ex-Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback, formerly of Louisiana, now a resident of Washington, D. C., was slated to speak at the armory on Thursday night with Senators Fairbanks, of Indiana, and Foraker, of this state. The governor is one of our most distinguished citizens and one of the few remaining members of the "Old Guard." He has our highest respect and esteem, regardless of the fact that he is lending aid and comfort to Republican Disfranchisement Hanna. This we regret. The republican meetings held in Woodliff hall on various evenings the past week by the Fulton-Sam Moore-Myers-Eubanks-Clifford "Little Black Tammany" were poorly attended and anything but successes. This is as it should be. Stay away from the meetings until "big chief" Hanna is taught a much needed lesson, and that is, that even the Afro-American can resent positive injury whether meted out to him by individuals, the chairman of the national republican committee (Hanna) or any other party organization. Be sure to read ex-Congressman O'Hara's letter on Page 1 of this paper. An employment agency is being conducted by Mrs. J. D. Jackson at No. 628 Central avenue. 'Phone M. 2077 (Cuvahoga). J. W. Crawford, of $100\frac{1}{2}$ Prospect street, has repainted and repaired his restaurant and will keep open nights until after the theaters. Anyone wishing oysters in any style should call on him. His prices are reasonable and he has the best. All agree that 20 years' experience in one particular line of business ought to make a man competent, and competent workmen do the best work. Therefore, when your shoes need repairing call on Mr. George H. Turner, of No. 627 Central avenue. Patronize him. My! but that Old Folks' Home report is a long time coming. It certainly begins to look as if there is something "rotten in Denmark." Mighty long time explaining what was done with that $950. Six or seven hundred for repairs is a little "raw." What became of the $250 or $350 balance after the "six or seven hundred for repairs?" Mr. S. Grant, the tailor, has opened an establishment at No. 490 Central avenue, where he remodels garments and makes a specialty of ladies' tailoring. Here is another opportunity for our people to patronize one of our own class. He does only the best work and at rates as reasonable as any. Let our men and women take their work to Mr. Grant. John P. Green says in Wednesday's Leader that the republican party freed us. Therfore we should vote its ticket forever, matters not who is on it. "Wouldn't that jar you?" The republican nor any other party freed the writer—Tearful Johnny to the contrary notwithstanding—and the thousands of Afro-Americans who were freed by Lincoln's proclamation and the war, owe their freedom as much to the 200,000 black soldiers in the war of the rebellion as to the white soldiers (republicans and democrats) and Lincoln. Then, too, the government and country, including the republican party, owe these black soldiers much for helping to preserve intact the United States of America. Their services, history says, was invaluable, the tide of battle in favor of the government not setting in until they were admitted to the army in 1862 and 1863. John should go way back, sit down and keep quiet, because he is a back number. "sartin suah." There were hot times on the Public Square at noon on Tuesday. "Tearful" Johnny Green made a few minutes' harangue in which he took occasion, for the second time this week, to either charge or insinuate that the editor of this paper was a democrat or had democratic leanings. Walter L. Brown, who was one of his small audience, immediately mounted the little platform about 50 feet away and drew to him a majority of those listening to "Tearful" John and denounced John's statement as a "—— lie," assuring his listeners that Hon. Harry C. Smith was not only a republican of the old school, but a thorough race man who could not be bought with dollars or a job to oppose the interests of his race even to please Republican Disfranchisement Hanna, chairman of the national republican committee and junior United States senator from Ohio. He also told the crowd that Mr. Smith stumped the city for Hon. Robert E. McKisson and Hon. W. J. Akers, republican candidates for mayor, when Hanna and his friends were opposing them in favor of the successful democratic candidates, Mayors John H. Farley and Tom L. Johnson. "IN DAHOMEY," Written and Performed by Afro- Americans-Williams and Walker, the Stars-The Authors and Composer. New York City.—An extravaganza written and performed by Afro-Americans is new at the Grand opera house this week. The big theater was packed with people at Wednesday's matinee, and they were tremendously noisy with laughter and applause. That was mainly because Bert A. Williams, of the familiarly funny firm of Williams and Walker, was the mainstay of the show. Mr. Williams is a born actor. With a twist of his big mouth, a motion of a long hand or a lift of a broad foot, all quietly and easily, he tickles you more than Mr. Walker can by violent exertion; and Mr. Walker is an amusing fellow, too, with a brown little wife who beats most of the white soubrettes at singing and dancing. Those three could give an hour's vaudeville show without helpers. But "In Dahomey" is a play with 16 definite characters, as many more who figure in the background and material enough to require three hours for delivery. Its authors are Will Marion Cook, formerly of Washington, D. C., and Cleveland, O., for the music, J. A. Shipp for the prose and Paul Laurence Dunbar for the verses. Their work averages up to a level with that shown in the touring extravaganzas, and much that is no better gets into Broadway. The layout and the outfit of the show are, in a general way, like those of its class, except that all is Afro-American. A party start from Boston to colonize in Dahomey and stop for a while in a Florida town on the journey, each of those places providing the scene for an act. Thus the subject is altogether racial.

If you are unsuccessful in business, have bad luck, things go wrong with you, then you should consult Mrs. Marth.

North Carolina White Republicans Who are Backed by Senator Hanna _ Resont His Interference in Their ae Washington, D. ©€.—The North Carolina republicans, who are endeav- oring to make the party in that state a white man’s party, are greatly dis- gruntled over what they term the in- terference of Surveyor James S. ‘Clarkson, of the port of New York, in the polities of their state. The re- publican state convention early in the fall, which excluded Afro-Americans | from participating in the convention, was notable for the prominence of many of the delegates in the business and social affairs of the state. Afro- Americans, although practically dis- franchised by the constitutional lamendment which goes into effect | this fall, did not take kindly to gheir exclusion from the party convention, , and have endeavored to place in nom- | ination candidates of their own race. In the Second congress district S. H. Viek, of Weldon, the only Afro-Amer- ican postmaster in the state, was nominated recently, and at the con- vention in the Fourth district at Ra- leigh, which adjourned Friday with- (out nominating an Afro-American candidate, great stress was laid on a letter read by W. Lee Person, one ot the delegates, which he had received from Gen. Clarkson. This letter fol- lows: New York, Oct. 13, 1902. ‘My Dear Mr. Person: I am glad to have your letter, I need no thanks for what I did in opposing the “Jim ‘Crow party” in Alabama and other southern states. No self-respecting republican ean tolerate any such at- tempted departure from the cardinal doctrine of the party. The president has no, sympathy with it, and you may assure all your friends and your whole race that he is as sound on the doctrine of human rights and man- hood suffrage as I am. I shall be glad to hear from you whenever you have anything to communicate. Sincerely yours, JAS. S. CLARKSON. ‘The “Lily “White” republicans, in addition to condemning Gen. Clark- son for interfering in the politics of another state, are inclined to ques- tion Gen. Clarkson’s authonity to speak for the president in the matter as, they say, Senator Pritchard had the approval of the president and Senator Hanna in his movement to build up a white man’s party in North Saatndindk’ HIS OLD HOME. A Clevelander Visits It and Sends a Glowing Account of the Progress of Our People There. Fulton, Mo., Oct. 27, 1902. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: I con- cluded while here on a visit to my old home to drop a line to the readers of The Gazette, knowing they are inter- ested in the condition «f our people ‘here. Iam surprised at the rapid | progress my race has made here dur: ing the last 15 or 20 years I have been a citizen of Cleveland. They are engaged in every line of business that small capital will permit, and judging from appearances, it will not be long before they will be engaged in the higher branches. This is a town of ‘about 6,000 inhabitants, one-third Afro-Americans; about one-third of that number own good, comfortable homes and many fair bank accounts, ‘There are three good churches paid for, ranging in value from $2,000 to $7,000 each. 'The education of boys and girls is amply provided for. There Is a seven-room brick school house and an equal number of teach- ers, all of whom are graduates from reputable colleges. Each of the pas- tors of the churches have diplomas from colleges and stand the equal of their white contemporaries. An Afro-American physician, Dr. Coston, stands at the head of his profession in this city and the other physicians (white) consult him in difficult cases. He has a fine office, well equipped and keeps an office boy busy. His practice is the best in the town. He owns both town, property and farms. Urecery stores “and restaurants are managed by our people, and in the country fine farms are owned, and inj the majority of instances are paid for. Again, I must confess my sur- prise at the progress. I shall be able to say more Ypon my return. | leave | bere to-day. will stop at Jacksonville, Ill, and thence to my Cleveland home. J. H.

Boies, deal- er in grain and feed,,505 South Water Street, Akron, 0., made the following statement in 1896, he said: “Ever since the Civil War I have had attacks of kidney @nd bladder troubles, decid- edly worse during the last two or three years. Althongh I consulted physicians, some of whom told me I was verging on Bright’s disease, and I was continually using standard rem- edies, the excruciating aching just across the kidneys, which radiated to the shoulder blades, still existed. As might be expected when my kidneys were in a disturbed condition, there was a distressing and inconvenient difficulty with the action of the kid- ney secretions. A box of Doan’s Kid- ney Pills, procured at Lamparter & Co.'s drug store, brought such a de- cided ¢hange within a week that I continued the treatment. The last attack, and it was particularly ag- gravated, disappeared.” Three Years After. Mr. Boies says in 1899: “In the spring of 1896 I made a public state- ment of my experience with Doan’s Kidney Pills. This remedy cured me of a terrible aching in the kidneys, in the smiall of my back, in the mus- cles of the shoulder blades, and in the limbs. During the years that have gone by Icanconseientiously say there have been no recurrences of my old trouble. My confidence in Doan’s Kidney Pills is stronger than ever, not only from my personal experience but from the experience of many others in Akron which have come to my notice.” A FREE TRIAL of this great kid- ney medicine which cured Mr. Boies will be mailed on application to any part of the United States, -Address Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N.Y.

A CHARITY FIB. nae Young Idea Was to Set the Sen- | sitive Person Perfectly at Ease About His Nose, | Notwithstanding the man knew how he had come by his red nose, he was extremely sensitive sent it, and oy reference to it was resented promptly and with emphasis, One day he was calling on some ladies when ‘the small boy of the family was present. The youngster was strangely attracted by the radiant nose, and kept watch on it from the moment the visitor entered the room until he had a chance to gar to his mother, re- lates the New York Herald. | “Is it wrong to tell a FOr mamma?” he asked so that everybody could hear. “Of course it is,” she replied, with a proper degree of horror. “But isn’t it right to tell one just some- times?” he pettisted. i “Well,” she hesitated, “possibly if one is told to spare the feclings of some persn it might be excused.” "And why does my little man ask such a question?” inquired the gentleman very coaxingly. “Because,” responded the boy, “I wanted to say your nose wasn’t a bit red, if some. body elae wasn't going to say it pretty soon.” ‘Later when the culprit was going to pun- ishment he atked his mother if she wouldn't have licked him just the same if he had told the truth. Moral—Don’t monkey with morals. COULDN’T BOss HIM. A Clergyman Who Wouldn't Submit te Any Orders from aa Un- dertaker, Rev. R. Perry Bush, of Chelsea, who was present in a ministerial capacity at the open- ing of the convention of the Massachusetts Embalmers’ association recently consented, in the absence of Mayor Collins, who was to address the body, to speak a few words of greeting. He related an instance of a svufiy undertaker aud a funeral, says the Boston Herald. “As I entered the church,” said Mr. Bush, “I was greeted by the undertaker in charge of the tuneral, who said: ‘I want you to stand there,’ pointing to half-way up*the pulpit steps. “"T prefer to stand either at the top or the bottom,’ I replied. ‘Then I can see my audience,’ “You ‘stand where I tell you,’ was the re- tort, ‘I’m running this funeral.’ “But you are not running me,’ I an- swered, ‘and I will give you just one minute to withdraw Pie! order or get another min- ister.’ And I took out my watch and com menced to count off the seconds. At the thirtieth he said: ‘Well, stand where you darn please!’ i “And I did,” exclaimed Mr. Busl. St. Jacobs Oil.

The wonderfu penetrating power of St. Jacobs Oil en ables it to reach the adhesion of foreign matter which lines the bronchial tubes and which makes breathing more and more dif ficult. As these adhesions become inflamed and enlarged, St. Jacobs Oil causes such ad hesions to break away,, making expectora tion easier and more free. Dr. August Koenig’s Hamburg Breast Tea, drank slowly and very hot, soothes and heals the parte, is comforting’and quieting, stops the cough and relieves the breathing. This manner of treatment (and there is no other two remedies that will work together so suc- cessfully) ‘reaches the difficulty from the outside and the inside at the same time. St. Jacobs Oil reaches the roots of the ad: hesion, and assista Dr, August Koenig's Hamburg Breast Tea in clearing them; then och remedies act in unison in healing and curing.

Letters of congratula- tion and commendation testifying to the merits of Pe-ru-ma as a catarrh remedy are pouring in from every State in the Union. Dr. Hartman is receiving hundreds of such letters daily. All classes write these letters, from the highest to the lowest. ‘The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti- san, the clerk, the editor, the states- man, the preacher—all agree that Pe- ru-na is the catarrh remedy of the age. ‘The stage and rostrum, recognizing ca- tarrh as their greatest enemy, are es- pecially enthusiastic in their praise and testimony. Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca- tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent. Pe-ruma is the only abso- lute safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent-colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures catarrh, but prevents. Every house- hold should be supplied with this great remedy for coughs, colds and so forth. The Governor of Oregon is an ardent aduiver of Pe-racha, He keapeit cop- / The Preferred Stock of the W.
