Persistently, and despite all the cruelties and per- secutions which they have so long theaped upon the Afro-american, they dasist that they are the friends of the eelored people of the south. To-day the feeling of enmity and prejudice swells the volume of caste and pro- scription. They have no scruples in boldly declaring their friendship and good will toward those whom they wickedly seek to humiliate. By no ‘act on the part of the colored people do they ‘find themselves a part of the ibody politic. Known as citizens en- titled to all the rights and privileges ‘of a common government, yet they @re goaded and hounded by the white people of the south with a vicious- mess that is at once appalling to say @he least. ‘Though the better im- pulse of humanity revolts against these outrages, still the south insists that they are the only best friends. to the Negro. But the southern ewhites are unlike a generous, a hu- mane and Christian people, and are Ancapable of dispensing a kind and magnanimuos treatment to those whom they so much despise. Blind to the nobler sentiments of human- fity, they utterly fail to bestow the ordinary amenities even of a barber- ous race. They tell the natiowand the world that they are our best friends. But in the face of present mani- @estations on the part of the sbuth- ern press a most bitter animosity is ‘gain made palpable. Only a few years ago it was customary for the feading southern press to announce ‘their readiness to support a southern Negro for office in preference to a northern carpet-bagger. Their atti- ‘tude then would seem to indicate a feeling of partiality to the Afro- rican. But the almost universal cr that is now being made against Negro governmental officials feetray the basest hypocracy from fthat same people once professing friendship for the black man. The trhth is, that the southern white Re felt no sincere desire for the Ifare of the Afro-American and to- ay we need no efter proof of their awn bad faith than what is seen in their recent utterances and treach- rous dealings. Southern disfran- ehisement reveals the mad apostacy of these professed friends, but the ergument now urged that Negroes shall not be allowed to fill official po- sitions nor serve as jurors proves the perfidy and real intent of the south- ern mind, They go so far as to cen- ure and denounce the president be- «ause he has reappointed Dr. Crum, @ capable Afro-American, as collector ef customs for the port of Charles- joon. They now impugn the motives ef the president in his appointment ‘ef men of color to official trust, and they signify their purpose and intent te discourage and defeat, as far as Posible, the appointment of Afro- Americans to any place of emolu- a under the government. The th can no longer be disguised that @he professedly fair dealing and Christian white people of the south @re openly and unblushingly opposed to the Afro-American being anything more than a hewer of wood and a drawer of water. It is idle to believe that they are even willing to allow him to be what God and nature de- signed him to be or that he shall en- joy and improve his own possibilities. More recently the southern mwhites dared not avow their intentions. To- day they have openly declared them- selves. Pisses SN THE LYNCHINGS DURING THE PAST EIGHTEEN YEARS. ‘The Chicago Tribune gives the sta- tistics of crime for the year 1902 and enumerates the lynchings in the last eighteen years, Of these lynchings for 1902, 87 occurred in the south and nine in the north. The alleged crim- Smal assaults were 19, attempted as- sault 11. The facts at hand prove be- nd question that the tendency te ea has deen inspired @brough a wonton disregard for the Tiwes of the poor and weaker class the law dares not defend. smd are es possible in the north @s im the south. But it is not true fehat the most flagrant crimes have jbeen committed in the north, nor ahat black men have been the actual jassailants, as is alleged. On the con- , this lawlessness has arisen nad hatred, fury and passion, wwilich spurred th) oad element to the pempeisetion of mob violence apd murder. We have all along insisted that as many innocent men (if not more) have suffered through lynch law as the guilty. The spirit of the mob found its origin and growth in the south. It emanated mainly from @ beastly feeling of spite and animos- ity toward the so-called inferior race. The mere fact that this race has as- piration and a desire to rise, at once is awakened a disposition to oppress and destroy them. Reason as we may, or adduce whatever seeming proot we may in palliation of the brutal outrages imposed upon the Negro, it cannot be denied, that in al- most every city, town and village in the south there is a disposition to re- strain him of his just nights and privileges as a citizen even at the sacrifice of his life. The charge that the Negro is a born criminal and brute cannot be sustained in the face of the long array of facts in his favor during the last’ one hundred and fifty years or more in this coun- try. The south is replete in schem- ing, and has entered into a dastardly conspiracy to humiliate and outlaw the Afro-American since he is no longer to be regarded as a slave. The idea to them is most repulsive, that a Negro shall be regarded as a citi- zen upon equal terms with them un- der the law. Hence to consummate the ends of the conspiracy, that his humiliation and worthlessness shali ‘be assured, the worst element of the south is enlisted to affect and com- plete his ruin, It is quite remark- able that of the alleged criminal as- saults in the north, the Negro is found to e no more involved than white men, yet in the south he is criminated and butchered without trial, judge or jury, and that, too, without the slightest evidence to con- firm his guilt. Prior to the past eighteen years such criminal charges ‘were unknown, but from 1884 down to the present time an unparalleled record is given out to blacken and anathematize the name of a race hitherto without blame or censure in this respect. In all the years of the two and a half centuries of his dark and wretched history nothing so lamentable and unnatural in his life has been charged against him as the alleged crimes during these past eighteen years, Does it not appear that something outside the order of nature has conspired against him? Having schools, colleges and churches and a growing wealth to aid in his elevation and the perfectability of a high moral nature, his place in the social compact was all the more re- assuring. But designing villainy, re- alizing the growth of a universal and equal citizenship as well as a more exalted manhood on the part of Afro- Americans, finds in this the only ap- proximate and absolute reason for the torturing and burning of black GOD'S PUNISHMENT, The ¥. M. C, A. of Cleveland as Con- ducted by Secretary Shurtleff a Sort of a Religious Farce- The Bailey Co. Grossly Insulted—Trustee Palmer's ieee eae aeeyones The burning of the Y. M. C. A. building on last week Wednesday evening, even in part, ought to be taken as evidence by Secretary Shurtleff and his assistants that God Almighty is displeased with an alleg- ed Christian organization that draws a color-line. It was about ten days ago that the association, after asking the Bailey Co. to recommend five of its employes for study, refused to accept one of the five recommended, merely because ef his race or color. Tt refuses to accept our youth as members. This, however, has been the rule only since the advent of Sec- retary Shurtleff. §ome of our young men ‘who were membeyg of the insti- tution before his ooming were drop- ped afterward, and the others would ibe let out if he dared to do so. Great Christianity this! Our only wonder is that God Almighty does not cause the entire building to be burned. In @ conversation some months ago with Mr. Palmer, a trustee of the in- stitution, he quoted some of Booker Washington’s talk.to justify the dis- crimination and said, “although a ehurchman,”he too thought theword Ohristian should be dropped from the name of the association. What a gigantic farce from a religious stand- point is the Cleveland Y. M. C. A. un- der the direction of Secretary Shurt- leff! If the managers of the associa- tion do not soon overrule Shurtileff’s color-line nonsense, it may not be long before God Almighty will send a fire that will destroy the entire $250 FOR IMPERIAL BELLBOY Who Begins Practice of the Law ar Plaintiff, Not Counsel. New York City.—Doane McMahon, a law student, recovered in the su- preme court last week an award for $250 against Morgan Ross (white), proprietor of the Hotel Imperial, and Joseph McMullen (white), the hotel detective, for false arrest and impris- onment. McMahon sued for $10,000. He came on here several years ago after graduating from Oberlin col- lege to enter @ law school. While studying he served as a bellboy in the Imperial to pay his expenses. A guest's watch was missed and he war arrested and locked up over night. ‘The next morning he was discharged for lack of evidence. Here is a pointer for other Afro-American hotel employes so treated.

W. Cordin, a vright, intelligent young colored man, a former resident of Norwalk and nephew of the late Francis Cordin, of this city, was in the city Monday and paid The Re- flector a pleasant call. Mr. Cordin, while aresident at the Sandusky home, also represents ‘The Cleveland Gazette, the organ of the colored peo- ple, as collection and subscription agent. Mr. Cordin, who wears a soldier's uniform, is a veteran of both the Spanish and the Philippine wars. He was a member of Company K, Sev- enth U. S. colored infantry, in the Spanish war and in the Philippines, where he served for two years and ten months, he was a member of Company B, Twenty-fifth U. S. color- ed infantry. He was discharged from service at San Francisco, Janu- ary 21 last, and has been a resident ot the Sandusky home since last May. The Twenty-fifth regiment was the command with whieh Lieut. William T. Schenck (a son-indaw of Gen. E. R. Kellogg) was connected as first lieu- tenant of Company K, being after- wards brevetted captain for gallant service at the battle of Santiago. Mr. Cordin knew Lieut. Schenck very well and speaks of him in the highest terms, saying that that he was a very brave and gallant officer, a man who knew no fear, who was always ready for duty and who was one of the most popular officers In the com- mand, Cordin tells The Reflector that he was with a detachment of the Twenty-fifth about 20 minutes’ walk from the scene of the conflict where Lieut. Schenck and his men, a detail of 20 men from each company, were attacked by a large party of Filipinos in ambush and where Mr. Schenck and a number of his men met their death, the former being shot through the forehead. Cordin and his men reached the point of the attack and made a fierce assault on the Filipino lines, reiting and driving them back several miles, with many killed and wounded. A detachment in the meantime was left in charge of Lieut. Schenek’s body and those of his men who were killed. When Schenck's body was found he had nothing on but a pair of trousers. He had on, when going into the fight, Cordin says, a suit of kahki, with a sword and side arms, a silver flask and some other personal effects, and also four $20 gold pieces in his pocket. The sword and flask were returned to his relatives, the flask weing sent by a Filipino general, who obtained pos- session of itand whowrote a letterto Mrs. Schenck, in which he spoke in the highest praise of Mr. Schenck’s daring and bravery. Mr. Cordin, while in the , Philip- pines, was in ten general engage- ments and many skirmishes. We are glad to be able to state that Mr. Cor- din will favor The Reflector with some account of his experiences in the Philippines as a soldier in Uncle ‘Basis avmvy.Norwalk (0) Retectos: THEY TOOK HEROIC ACTION. Citizens of Bellevue, 0., Seized Sev- eral Carlonds of Coal. Toledo, Jan, 14:—A special to the Times from Bellevue, 0., says: “The fuel situation in Bellevue on Tuesday reached an acute situation and a conference of the mayor, coun- cilmen and coal dealers was held. It was learned that there were eight cars of anthracite coal in the local yards of the Wheeling & Lake Erie railroad and it was decided to contfis- cate the coal, The fire bell was rung and the mayor and councilmen, fol- lowed by a small army of citizens armed with shovels marched to the railway yards and unloaded the cars in record-breaking time. The mayor issued orders with the village seal and the coal was distributed to citi- zens through the local dealers at the rate of $8 a ton. “A further search was made and several cars of soft coal were found and unloaded in a like manner. About every wagon in town was pressed into service and the work of deliver- ing the coal was kept up until mid- night.” A Murder Miystery. Carbondale, [l., Jan. 15.—Develop- ments at West End, where the 9-year- old son of Frank Stucker is alleged to have killed his mother and then killed himself, point to a double mur- der and the exoneration of the boy. Notwithstanding that the mothér in a statement an hour before death said her son was her slayer, the mem- bers of the coroner's jury after be- ing discharged said that the child was not guilty. Opinion is general that an unknown third person is guilty. ‘To Please the Beet Sugar Men.

St. Louis, Jan. 15.—A defective flue in the Christian Orphan Home caused a fire yesterday that imperiled the lives of the 100 little inmates, but all were rescued.

He then brought forward a. fetter asking the public for’ more money, and said that as the people were already under the impression #hat Mrs, Belle Bolden was treasurer, “why not let it go so?” But this sug- gestion did not meet the approval of the members, Then Mrs. Belle den felt hurt, shed tears freely and said: “As there seems to be a feel- ing of, discord, I refuse to have my name used as treasurer.” Myers made another plea for her and sug- gested that Mrs. Bolden’s name be signed to his begging letter ax treas- urer of the entertainment commit- tee.

An uptown reader tells of the "break" made by a little tot of the family who was one of a party of little girls at a recent strawberry festival in the vicinity of her home. She had been valiantly boasting of the manifold advantages of belonging to her family, and had managed to hold her own against the vainglorious and ingenious discourses of her companions, relates the Philadelphia Times. They had gone from clothes to personal appearances, then to interior furnishings, then to the number of tons of coal consumed in the home of each during the last winter, and finally brought up at parental dignity. The minister little girl boasted: "Every package that comes for my papa is marked 'D. D.!'" "An' every package that comes for my papa is marked 'M. D.!'" retorted the daughter of a physician of the neighborhood. Then came a fine snort of contempt from the heroine of this anecdote. "Huh!" she exclaimed. "Every package that comes to our house is marked 'C. O. D.!' There now!" "A lawyer and a doctor were conversing. The doctor said: 'Your profession doesn't make men angels, sir.' The lawyer answered: 'No, it is yours which does that.' The anecdote is 2,000 years old," said Dr. Keen, "and is reputed to be the parent of all the myriad of medical anecdotes that now exist."

The Chinese gunboat Kwongyuen, which was sent against the West river pirates after the attack on the junk in which Mr. Evans, a Britisher, was murdered, found a pirate steam launch towing two captured junks and sent her boats against the pirates, who drove back the boats, killing three men. The gunboat then opened fire with Gatlings, sinking both launch and junks. The pirates tried to escape to shore by small boats, but every one was sunk and the pirates drowned.

In South Bend, Ind., anthracite or bituminous coal cannot be had at any price. People are burning beans at $1.50 a bushel, and are satisfied that they are getting the worth of their money, as the beans make a hot fire. Active operations will shortly begin toward the erection of the largest gas plant in the world in the Astoria section of Long Island City. The plant will cover 300 acres, and it will probably take five years to complete its erection. At Sour Lake, Texas, a new oil gusher broke away from the drillers and is spouting a solid stream of oil. It is estimated that the well is running 75,000 barrels a day and the quality of the oil is much superior to that hitherto found in the field.

Rockefeller, in purchasing nearly all the land in Pocantico Hills, East View and Hawthorne for a series of parks, is planning a chain of artificial lakes, to be formed by the historic Sleepy Hollow brook, which runs through his large estates near Tarrytown, N. Y. Several waterfalls have been constructed along the brook. Mr. Rockefeller intends to spend more than $200,000 on this work. The railways in St. Louis have set aside about $85,000,000 to be expended in improvements in that city. Many of the extensions are already under way and the great bulk of the enormous sum will be paid out before the opening of the world's fair. William Shepherd, a carpenter of Lynn, Mass., while dredging for stray pieces of coal along the water front, is reported to have come across a lump of ambergris valued at nearly $2,500. A remarkable revelation of child labor in New York City is about to be made, which will show that more child labor exists in New York than in all the states of the south combined. The facts on which this revelation is based have been gathered in the last six months by the child labor committee of New York. Two new Cumarders have been ordered. Each of them will cost $6250,000. It is stipulated that they shall be ready for their maiden voyage in June, 1905. The vessels must do 26 knots for six hours and 25 knots for two days continuous steaming. Kung Hsiang Hsi and Fei Chi Ho, the Chinese students whose exclusion by the treasury department has excited the interest of the missionary world, have finally been admitted to the country.

The other 21 lodgers escaped, saving only their night clothes. Managers of all the western railroads have agreed upon a plan to effect a great reduction in operating expenses. The plan is to reduce the speed of freight trains about 20 per cent., so fewer but longer trains can be hauled, thereby reducing the cost of transportation. At Caseyville, Ky., 500 pounds of powder in the powder and dynamite house of Harth Brothers blew up, shaking the country for miles around. Joseph Newkirk, a boy, was killed, and Walter Newkirk, a companion, was fatally injured. There was a fire in the residence of George J.

Near Lanark, Scotland, the thermometer fell to near zero, being a lower temperature than recorded for ten years. Traffic on the railroads of Scotland is impeded by snow drifts. Even the islands of Jersey and Guernsey are covered with snow. The Rock Island railroad management and the board of adjustment of the locomotive engineers have reached an agreement which establishes a new schedule of rates. The increase of wages granted is estimated at $180,000 a year by the company and at $250,000 by the men. Ten per cent. is the average advance provided for. After two years' experimentation with nickled steel rails, the Pennsylvania railroad has decided to place them on the heavy curves through the Allegheny mountains. An order for 5,000 tons has been given at a cost of $370,000. The nickled steel rails cost nearly three times as much as rails of standard steel. Twin daughters of Ole Thorson, a farmer living 12 miles west of Sisseton, S. D., were frozen to death in a recent blizzard. They set out for home with their father and wandered all night, perishing before dawn. The father was not badly frozen. Two Indianapolis factories, employing 500 men, have been compelled to shut down on account of lack of fuel. They are unable to secure coal. One man was killed, half a dozen injured and the women's wing of the house of correction partially wrecked by the explosion of several sticks of dynamite in No. 3 shaft of the new filtration plant at Holmesburg, Pa.

By a vote of 85 to 54 the lower house of the Illinois assembly adopted a resolution to bind candidates for the United States senate to vote for a constitutional amendment for the election of senators by a direct vote of the people. Thomas Dormady, one of the oldest railroad engineers in the United States, is dead at Schenectady, N. Y., aged 75 years.

Y., for stealing coal, was found by the warden to have strapped around his legs over $220 in bills. Asked why he did not buy coal with his money, he said the dealers refused to sell to him and so he stole it, and that, as he did not believe in banks and had to carry the money, he thought he might as well use it to protect himself from freezing. The senate on the 14th passed the bill abolishing the tariff duty on coal for one year. The house also passed the coal duty bill. the coal duty bill. HEALTHY WOMEN MISS. ELIZABETH UBER MISS.: SYBYL A. HADLER A. MRS. M.J. BRINK FIRST STAGE OF CATARRH A Serious Mistake Which Thousands Are Making. The first stage of catarrh is what is commonly known as "catching cold." It may be in the head, nose, throat or lungs. Its beginning is sometimes so severe as to cause a chill and considerable fever, or it may be so slight as to not hinder a person from his usual business. In perhaps a majority of cases little or no attention is paid to the first stage of catarrh, and hence it is that nearly one-half of the people have chronic catarrh in some form. To neglect a cold is to invite chronic catarrh. As soon as any one discovers Insurance Haa Ita Humor. An enterprising insurance agent induced an Irishman to take out an accident policy for his wife. A few days later, while conversing with a friend in his office, he was startled to see the Irishman rush in, brandishing fiercely a stout cane. "Ye rascall" he yelled, springing toward the agent, "ye wanter cheat me?" Fortunately the enraged man was disarmed and held fast by the agent's friend, who was a powerfully built man. The Irishman, struggling to get free, shouted: "Let me git at the spalpeen. Think ov it, chargin' me fove dollars for an achident ticket for me ole woman, an' she jest broke her leg a-fallin' down stairs. Wot's the good of the ticket, anyhow?" --N. Y. Times.

Unless this is done the cold is almost sure to end in the second stage of catarrh, which is making so many lives miserable. If Peruna was taken every time one has a cold or cough, chronic catarrh would be practically an unknown disease. Miss Elizabeth Uber, No. 67 Bassett street Albany, N. Y., writes: street, Albany, N.

"I have always dreaded unsettled weather because of my extreme liability to catch cold, when a catarrhal trouble would quickly develop through my entire system, which it would take weeks to drive away. I am thankful to say that since I have taken PERUNA I do not have any reason to dread this anymore.

Mull's Grape Tonic Cures Constipation. When the sewer of a city becomes stopped up, the refuse backs into the streets where it decays and rots, spreading disease-creating germs throughout the entire city. An epidemic of sickness follows. It is the same way when the bowels fail to work. The undigested food backs into the system and there it rots and decays. From this festering mess the blood saps up all the disease germs, and at every heart beat carries them to every tissue, just as the water works of a city forces impure water into every house. The only way to cure a condition like this is to cure the constipation. Pills and the ordinary cathartics will do no good. MULL'S GRAPE TONIC is a crushed fruit tonic-laxative which permanently cures the affliction.
