Member Ohio Legislature, {1894 to 1896. {1896 to 1898. {1900 to 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. Gov. Merriam, who as director of census at Washington, D. C., repeatedly showed our people how prejudiced he could be, has resigned. It is a pity he did not see fit to do this many months ago. Good riddance! President Roosevelt has given the prejudiced whites in the south another "bat" in the mouth. They have been begging for such treatment for a long time and, thank the Lord, they are getting it at last. Good and a plenty, too. Now Bishop Turner has "gone and done it"—patted on the back one-eyed Ben Tillman, the abusive senator from South Carolina. We cannot abuse the bishop; only pity him. He has been a great man in his day, which clearly is not this day and time. President Roosevelt has reappointed Dr. Wm. Demos Crum collector of customs at Charleston, S. C. He said he would do this if the senate adjourned without taking action, when assisting upon either Mr. Crum's confirmation or rejection. The senate's committee on commerce to which was referred the Crum appointment decided to report adversely on it. The senate failed to take any action in the doctor's case and in order that he might continue to hold the position, it was necessary for the president to reappoint him immediately upon the adjournment of congress, March 4. Senator Ben Tillman said last week that the senate would never be allowed to take any favorable action in the matter as long as he was a member, stating that he could prevent such action by continued talking, assisted by others opposed to Dr. Crum's confirmation. If the senate continues to fail to take action, the opinion prevails that on each adjournment of that body President Roosevelt will reappoint him, and thus enable him to hold office just the same as if he were confirmed. The president is to be commended on the manly stand he has taken and maintains. SOUTHERN MORBIDNESS. In 1820 the southern mind was greatly inflamed, owing to the institution of slavery, which, as a natural consequence, incited men to deeds of violence and rage. In 1850 the fever of excitement was intense and the strong men of the nation rallied their best efforts in order to alley the growing feeling of defiance and rebellion incident to the terrible influence of domestic institution. To suppress this morbid spirit, our best statesmen gave warning of the danger which must be averted. The highest wisdom was in demand to restrain the passion and rashness of heedless men. Webster and Clay and Benton were foremost in their endeavors to check the rising tide of resistance to governmental authority. Then came Seward and Chase and Hale and Sumner calling the nation from danger and to duty. Madness seized the southern heart and in wild impetuosity the demon of slavery sought to break asunder and destroy the union of states. People little believed what they were soon called to experience. The people of the south little dreamed that they were provoking a war which would soon involve the lives of millions of America's brave sons. But they dared to venture, they dared to invite the bloodiest war ever known to civilized man, and in 1860 the whole American continent stood in martial array while men in the gray and the blue confronted each other in deadly conflict. Through a sheer morbid frenzy southern men asked and demanded sacrifice at the hands of the nation. A terrible, fearful sin was upon the people and an atonement was to be made. The result of the late war has been given to history, yet the lesson of that sanguinary struggle remains unlearned. The south is still joined to its idols and the demon of caste, of prejudice and slavery still impels the southern heart to dire mischief. After thirty-seven years of peace and growth the nation has not redressed her wrongs, has not righted grievances too heavy to be borne. An atonement suited to our offenses will be demanded at the hands of the nation, and the maddened south, heedless, reckless, vindictive and defiant, will ensnare again our country into interminable evils unless by some providential intervention we are rescued. But to-day the south is courting the destruction of the nation. Hard-headed, supercilious, proud and vain-glorious, they challenge God Almighty and seek to reconstruct His omnipotent and immutable law of right. They abuse the president of the United States and in their supreme wrath assume the right of regulating the affairs of His family. What care they whether we have a government or not! All the day long they sing of social equality and shout the story of their superior blood. For such folly and foolishness they must answer sooner or later at the bar of retribution. For more than a hundred years the Dutch republic so lived and finally went down to inglorious defeat. God grant that the southern people may see the error of their way, turn from their evil and live. NOT IMMORAL, BUT NONMORAL. So determined is the southern press to make a case of the absolute unfitness of the Negro to fill positions of honor and trust under the government that it is argued that the African is not only immoral, but nonmoral. But this is but an attempt to seem to be wise upon pure ignorance. All men possess a moral nature and though the Memphis Appeal man has upon his own ipse dixit declared the Negro to be non-moral, yet the truth of his moral qualities is admitted upon the assertion that brain development continues with the Negro till he reaches the age of 14. This is prima facie evidence that the purenative African possesses discriminating powers, which are just as keen and susceptible as those of any other race. The editor of The Commercial Appeal admits this fact, and in admitting so much, he is bound to admit that he has only stultified himself in his imbecile endeavor to deny to the Negro faculties of mind which are inherent in his nature. He claims that the sutures of the skull have a premature closing, a thing which is the very bugbear of superlative nonsense. But even were this to be admitted (and it cannot be), then what becomes of the mind, which is the composite of intellect, sensibility and will? What becomes of the soul, the very attribute of our spiritual being? Certainly these must remain forever as a characteristic element of ourselves. The present age of letters and learning is its own argument that all human minds acquire growth and development and the mind of the Negro is no exception to this law. Every manifestation of mind is a clear demonstration of the fact, that humanity is progressive the world over, and though it gathers growth by virtue of association and contact, we need no stronger proof to establish the fact that the argument of the premature closing of the sutures of any race of people is a base subterfuge and is illogically untrue. It may be admitted that men sometimes when demented and prejudiced have proven too much and in so doing prove nothing, but the editor in his wild attempt to degrade the Negro has only succeeded in slandering his own race and damaging his cause. MOB VIOLENCE COSTS $9,000. The people of Champaign county have finally been compelled to pay $6,500 for the lynching of "Click" Mitchell at Urbana in 1897—$5,000 of the amount was the judgment under Ohio's anti-lynching law, $500 interest due on that amount, and $1,000 costs and extra fees in carrying the case from the common pleas court of that county to the supreme court of Ohio. An editorial in the Plain Dealer of Sunday, in referring to the effectiveness of the law which has certainly commanded "more attention from the mob than any other law" against lynching and mob violence in the country, rather questions its effectiveness. In 1893, 1894 and 1895—three years—there were more lynchings and mob violence demonstrations by several times over than there have been (with the occasions for the same even more numerous) in the last seven years. It was in 1896 that the editor of The Gazette introduced and secured the passage of an anti-lynching bill which is now Ohio's mob violence law. The deterrent effect of the law upon officers and citizens alike is clearly exemplified in the experience of the state during the last seven years and for the three or seven years previous to 1896. The law is no longer an experiment, as the Plain Dealer would lead one to believe. The $6,500 paid by the officials of Champaign county and the $2,500 Logan, an adjoining county, was mulleted of because of a mob violence demonstration during the pendency in the courts of the "Click" Mitchell-Urbana case, have had their effect, not only upon the taxpayers and officials of the two counties named, but upon those of every other county in the state. The proof of this is the practical blotting out of lynching in Ohio since the court judgments in the two cases mentioned. The mere knowledge of the fact of the passage of the bill had its effect for good, because there is absolutely no doubt of the fact that its deterrent effect was most marked during the interim of the date of its passage and the "Click" Mitchell lynching which came immediately upon the heels of the decision of a common pleas judge of this state, attacking the constitutionality of the law. The Logan county affair followed closely the Urbana demonstration. But since the state supreme court's favorable decision anent the constitutionality of the law, we have not only had no lynchings but practically no mob violence demonstrations. A comparison of the last seven years with the seven years or even three years preceding the year 1896 will establish beyond all question or doubt the fact that the law is and has been effective, and is a perfect success. OUR GREAT SLANDERER. The despised Commercial Appeal of Memphis devotes its editorial columns mostly in caricaturing and deyring the colored people of the country. It will be observed that THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1903. this viperous sheet, while claiming the friendship of the southern whites for the race, applies itself sedulously in denouncing them, and that, too, in the same spirit as if they were brutes. With calous indifference to the merest claims of humanity, the Commerial Appeal in unmixed brutality strikes the race with a malignity unmatched by the most depraved and vicious of the untutored savage. A betrayal of such inhumanity illustrates the hatred and contempt which the editor of the Appeal feels for the weaker element of the human family. But if the editor of the Appeal possessed those finer and nobler attributes of soul which characterize the higher order of mankind he could never descend to that lower plane whence eminates the worst and meanest qualities of inferior races. The Appeal man seems well adapted to these demeaning practices, hence it would seem needless that we should find it necessary to offer our protest. But mingling among the same people under one common government and bowing alike at the same sacred altar of prayer, it must be not a little goading and even crushing that we should be subjected to such humiliation and shame. It is certainly beyond human comprehension to determine the import of action so inhuman and unnatural that the black man may be thus sailed, insulted and outraged, as though he possessed not the ordinary instincts of the dumb brute. On the one hand, the Appeal man offers treaties on philosophical subjects, discourses in seeming wisdom upon statecraft and economics, pleads the cause of the poor and has even given himself as the champion of the exslaves for pensions. But the plea is a blind pretense. The Appeal man knows only too well that a bill to pension ex-slaves will never become a reality. If the Appeal man would prove his friendship for the race, let him show himself just and generous; let him cease his vilification and denunciation of a people who stand today almost helpless and defenseless under the mightiest republic known to the world. If he would be magnanimous let him not play the hypocrite, and when black men in the north convene to declare their sympathy for their southern brothers or to express their grievances, let him not hasten to proclaim to the world that the south is being denounced by northern Negroes. But the Appeal man is not only hypocritical, he is ungrateful in the extreme. To-day more than a thousand Afro-Americans are subscribers and constant readers of that journal. They watch eagerly to catch the news. But imagine their chagrin when they find themselves traduced, dehumanized and deceived by the very journal to which they find themselves giving patronage and support. Is not this brutality of the meanest type? Seldom, indeed, de we find just such a type of humanity. But it reveals itself in the loathsome character of the individual denominated CIVILIZED MAN. We therefore add that since the Commercial Appeal is incendiary, that since it shows nothing of the spirit of magnanimity and justice to the race, let Negroes patronize their own journals more and shun their traducers. JACKSON-WALTON Officers Elected—Don't Sell Your Votes -Very Few Afro-Americans Holding Office-Personals, Etc.

A Flood Record Is Expected to be Made by the Mississippi. Flood Situation in Nebraska Is Much Improved—Rivers in New Hampshire and Malne Rising—Portions of New York State Are Submerged. New Orleans, March 12.—It is generally admitted by government, state and city authorities that the Mississippi river probably will break all records before the present flood shall begin to recede. Though all the authorities admit that a record stage is probable they maintain that the levee system is higher and stronger than ever before and that the banks are prepared to withstand the extra strain. Lincoln, Neb., March 12.—The flood situation in Nebraska is improved and the worst is believed to be passed. For 15 years railroads have suffered no such damage as during the past four days, and it will require a week with favorable weather to put the roadbeds in as good condition as before the flood. Caruthersville, Mo., March 12.—This city, containing 2,300 inhabitants, is threatened with destruction by the flood.

The Merrimac, the cotton mill river of New Hampshire and Massachusetts, and the Penobscot and Kennebec, in Maine, are rapidly rising and threatening serious damage. In Maine there is apprehension in the lumbering sections. There are 20,000,000 feet of logs ready to be hauled to the rivers which, it is said, will have to be left in the yards, unless the floods subside and freezing weather comes. TURMOIL REIGNED. Violence Attended the Strike of Kansas City Teamsters. Kansas City. March 12.—Violence entered into the strike yesterday of 211 drivers employed by the 14 transfer companies of the city, who went out in the morning for an increase in wages and recognition of their union. Perhaps a half hundred men were employed during the day to take the places of the strikers, though but little work was accomplished by them. During the afternoon strikers and their sympathizers gathered in large numbers at several points in the west bottoms and held up wagons driven by non-union men. At the Burlington freight depot the police were forced to draw their revolvers to disperse a crowd that had cut the traces of teams hitched to two loaded wagons. At another point, George B. Evans, an employee of the American Express Co., in attempting to disperse a crowd that was throwing stones at a driver, fired a shot into the ground. N. N. Latin, a striker, interfered and made a move to draw a knife, when both men were arrested. Mrs. Evans, wife of the man arrested, struck with a whip the lenders of a crowd that interfered with the course of a wagon on which she was riding. Later Mrs. Evans took charge of a wagon belonging to the Swofford Dry Goods Co. and, unaided, drove the team through the crowd. Her progress was uninterrupted. A Madman Sulcides. Syracuse, N. Y., March 12. After sitting in a window of an apartment house and taking pot shots at the people passing below, Henry C. Friend held a party of policemen at bay for an hour with a revolver last night. Then, forcing the janitor to roll cigarettes, Friend played the piano with his left hand and held the gun in his right. Soon thereafter, Friend sent a bullet through his heart. Ratified the Treaty. Washington, March 12.—Senor Quesada, the Cuban minister to the United States, last night received a dispatch from his home government saying: "The reciprocity treaty was approved by the senate by 16 votes against 5." The treaty referred to is the Cuban reciprocity treaty with the United States. A Forger's Sentence. Ottawa, Ont., March 12.—A.

The participants were Cora Annis, Maud Brown, Lenora Wilson, organist of the B. Y. P. U.; I. A. Lawson, president, and Albert Jones. The judges, Rev. White, Messrs, Samuel Hill and Wm. Jackson, awarded the prize (a book) to the latter. All the poems were exceptionally good. Miss Wilson's was short, but was couched in pretty language, and told of the revivals at Shiloh church this winter, of the good work Rev. E. D. Dandridge had done and appealed strongly to the sinner. All the poems were original and showed that those participating had talent along that line which might be well to cultivate. At St. Andrew's church to-morrow Rev. Edward S. Doan will preach at 7:30 p. m. on "The Resurrection of the Body," the Apostle's Creed series. At the morning service the choir will render Warner's "Benedictus in C" (special).

He Went West and Prospered. Freeland, Kans., Mar, 9th—One of the most prosperous farmers in Harper County is Mr. N. H. Mead. Some thirty-four years ago he left his home near Clarence, N. Y., and came to Kansas. Here he has thrived splendidly and last year harvested over one hundred and forty acres of wheat alone. But everything has not gone well with Mr. Mead, for his health has not been good for the last few years. He has suffered a great deal with Kidney and Bladder Trouble and could get nothing to stop it. Lately, however, he has improved a great deal and he says that he has none of the old symptoms left and is feeling splendid again. He used Dodd's Kidney Pills and this remedy seemed to work wonders in his case. He says himself: "Dodd's Kidney Pills have made me well. They are all right and a reliable remedy for Kidney Trouble. They helped me right from the start, giving me great relief, and finally cured me." He chooses night who refuses light.—Ram's Horn.

The difficulty between the hat manufacturers and their engineers at Danbury, Conn., has been satisfactorily adjusted and the threatened shut down of factories will not take place. Never in the history of the window glass industry in this country have manufacturers and jobbers been confronted with such a serious situation as at present. If the plans of a number of leading producers to close down their factories temporarily are successful, it is said, higher prices are assured, while if it fails, it is predicted that the most ruinous price war which has ever been inaugurated will be a certainty.

The decrease of $5,284,925 reserve reported in the New York bank statement for the week that closed March 7, brings the excess surplus down to $666,975, by far the smallest recorded at this season for many years, and the lowest actual figure, with two exceptions, noted within 12 months. The court-martial which tried Lieut. Chester Wells for casting away his vessel, the naval tug Leyden, on the south coast of Block Island, January 21 last, has acquitted that officer. The ferry boat Neptune, plying between Allegheny and the West End, was sunk in the Ohio river near the foot of Chartiers street, Allegheny, by the steamer Margaret. The Neptune is a total loss and the crew and passengers had to swim to the Allegheny side in order to save their lives.

Lynch, who is undergoing a sentence of life imprisonment for high treason. The police caused a sensation at Pittsburg by raiding the Keystone Development Co., closing the offices and arresting six officers on a charge of conspiracy to defraud. The company has been in existence about two months and has been promoting a scheme to procure homes upon small monthly payments. Fire is raging in the coal mine of the Northern Pacific Railroad Co. at Chestnut, Mont. As far as possible all approaches to the fire have been bulkheaded and it is hoped to smother the blaze. All operations at the mine have been suspended for two weeks. Over 200 men are idle.

The Farmer In Western Canada Achieves Wonderful Success. One of the first things that the man who wishes to change his residence endeavors to find out is where he may go and succeed. It need be a matter of little doubt or indecision now. During the past four or five years the development of Western Canada has been so rapid, and the conditions of life there so widely known, that upwards of 100,000 Americans have taken up their homes there, and the experience of these people is that they are thoroughly satisfied with their choice of home. The methods of farming there are similar to those adopted in the United States, but the operations are simpler, the yield of grain greater, and the profits more satisfactory. Ranching is carried on with lots of success. Mixed farming is always profitable, while the results in grain-raising are as certain as splendid soil, excellent climate and lots of sunlight can give. The yields of — but nothing is as satisfactory as the experience of the farmer himself, and extracts are selected from one. A good, intelligent farmer, named Mears, John Mears, to be exact—left Cavalier County, North Dakota, two years ago, and followed the thousands who had already gone to Canada. He had twenty-five years' experience in Minnesota, in buying grain, including flax. But in all his experience, he never saw a district so well suited to the growth of flax as Western Canada. The financial results of Mr. Mears' operations in a single season are as follows: Wheat, 3,000 bushels, 1 hard at $7 1/2 c, $1,785.00. 2,680 bushels, 1 Northern at 54c, $1,457.20; oats, 1,750 bushels, at 35c, $612.50. Speltz, 154 bushels at 75c, $115.50. Flax, 324 bushels, at $2, $628. Total, $4,598.20—A return of more than $4,500 from a little over 250 acres, an average of $18 per acre—is surely testimony sufficiently strong to satisfy the most incredulous as to the money to be made out of the soil of the Canadian West. It is to facts like these—arguments expressible and demonstrable in dollars and cents, that the steady northward movement of American farmers is due. Mr. Mears is settled near Arcola. Assa. A number of Amerleans who have chosen Western Canada as a home had the idea that a man enjoyed less freedom in Canada, but they soon found their mistake, and say the laws of Canada are the most liberal in the world, and such as prevent the litigation which breeds so much bad feeling between people in the United States and costs them so dear in lawyers' fees.

Threatened with Loss of Hearing, Sick and Sight From the Ravages of Catarrh. Pe-ru-na Cured Him. "I Feel Like a Young Man Again." Mr. J. W. Fuller. A GREAT many remedies to temporarily relieve catarrh have been devised from time to have been devised from time to time, such as sprays, snuffs, creams and other local applications, but, as a rule, the medical profession has little or no enthusiasm in the treatment of catarrh. It is generally pronounced by them to be incurable. to be incurable. It therefore created a great sensation in medical circles when Dr. Hartman announced that he had devised a compound which would cure catarrh permanently. The remedy was named Peruna and in a short time became known to thousands of catarrh sufferers north, south, east and west. Letters testifying to the fact that Peruna is a radical cure for catarrh began to pour in from all directions. Thousands of such letters are on file in the office of The Peruna Medicine Co. Rev. E. Stubenvoll, Pella, Wis., writes: "I feel obliged to extend you my personal thanks for my complete restoration. All through the winter I suffered from throat and lung trouble, but recovered my entire health by the use of your excellent remedy, Peruna." The following letter from a prominent gentleman of Los Angeles, is a case in point: Mr. J. W. Fuller, President of the Jewelers' Association of Los Angeles, Cal., has been in business in that city for seventeen years out of the forty-five that he has been engaged in business.

I spent lots of money with doctors and the use of local applications to relieve me but to no purpose, until my attention was called to the wonderful effects of Peruna.
