SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1903.

D. Prowd. This is a decided compliment to the recipient and our people from @ most unex- vected quarter. The Atlanta Constitution says the republican party is the Negro party. That is ‘no lie. It set him free, gave him the ballot and wow and then gives him a little office and keeps the door of hope open to him. He will continue to vote the same old ticket. —Atlanta (Ga.) Age. This is but lalf the story. Now let Editor Pledger tell »what the Afro-American has done for the re- publican party, and be perfectly fair. ‘Although the government has been ‘by far too direlict as to Its cardinal duties, its duties as théy relate to her enfranchised citizens, and al- though the great north has been al- most criminally indifferent as to its ‘own claims for national duty and preservation, yet it seems only rea- sonable and just, that, if the govern: ment will not bravely assert itself in vindication of the claims of citizen- ship, it should be the part of the vot- ing masses to see that there be no encroachment upon personal liberty and our national constitution. ‘This is the vital issue, Will the people as- sert themselves, reaffirm the action of the founders of the republican party and see that liberty is main- tnined? ~ Ex-Senator Jeter C. Pritchard, of North Garolina, has been appointed ‘associate justice for the supreme court of the District of Columbia. He is a member of the national repub- ican committee, chairman of the North Carolina republican committee and “lily-white” leader of his state. it was at his request that the presi- dent turned down for reappointment the Hon. S. H. Vick, an Afro-Ameri- can postmaster of North Carolina, ‘because the latter refused to support practically a “lily-white” movement during a campaign in recent years in that state. The appointment of Pritchard and turn-down of Vick are among the things the president has done which only serve to pour ice- cold water on the enthusiastic Roose- velt feeling among our people. They are to be regretted. cence WASHINGTON’'S INFLUENCE BANEFUL. After reading the Associated Press report to the daily newspapers of the country of the great Madison Square Garden meeting in the interest of Tuskegee institute held Tuesday evening in New York City and pre- wided over iby ex-President Cleveland, we are convinced more than ever that Booker T. Washington in his efforts to secure funds for his school is ex- ereising @ baneful influence, as far as the race is concerned, over the jeading white men of the country avho favor industrial training for our people and especially the work along this line being done at his school. Mayor Low, of New York City, in his introductory speech on Tuesday evening, and Dr. Lyman Abbott, the successor of the great Henry Ward Beecher as pastor of Plymouth church, Brooklyn, who as a speaker followed Mr. Cleveland, showed this so plainly in their remarks that no room for question is left. Their pfaise of the southern whites’ treat- ment of the Afro-American, and pub- Jiely expressed sympathy and feeling for the former, and too, to the detri- ment of the southern Afro-American, ‘is so clearly Booker Washington that wo one can gainsay it. In his zeal and effort to raise funds for Tuske- institute, its principal is harm- ie our people throughout the coun- tryten thousand times more than the school is doing the race good. We have never been satisfied with some of Mr. Washington's methods of rais- ing funds for Tuskegee and since Tuesday night’s New York meeting we are more dissatisfied than ever. The intelligent, far-seeing Afro-Amer- ican cannot fail to properly appre- ciate wnat we call attention to if he will but read carefully and thought- fuiy Messrs. Low and Abbott's speeches or even the excerpts from ‘the same published in the daily pa- pers of the country on Wednesday of this week, THE MEANEST STROKE. ‘The Commercial Appeal of Mem- phis, commenting upon Secretary Root’s speech, contrary to common sense and general opidnion, takes the ground thet the civil war was fought on eccount of the Negro. The Appeal in ite usuel cherecteristic manner is evasive. The war was fought to gave the Union, a fact well known to ell the world. It eesumes to estab- the “Afro-American. From the very beginning of Negro enfranchisement there has been an expressed deter- mination to handicap ‘him in the right of suffrage. The editor, to- gether with many of the southern whites, knows this, but this they will not admit. They began first to hamper, hound and murder the Ne- gro, and now they attempt to justify their cowardly methods by charging unfitness ‘to enjoy the right of suf- frage. The Appeal ussumes to stand on the record of thé white races of the world, but that conglomerate mixture of races in the south is no criterion by which the right of Ne- gro suffrage is to be determined. There has been a fixed and studied purpose on the part of a certain white element in the south to deprive the Negro of a constitutional right, and The Appeal, bitter and unrelent- ing in this purpose, ‘has resorted to any means honorable or d'shonorable to accomplish this end. With no re- gard for a brave and manly principle, it has aided and abetted in every movement to rob the Negro of his political righits. It now adduces the absurd and ridiculous theory, touch- ing the premature closing of the cranial sutures and lateral pressure of the frontal bone of the Negro to justify the most unblushing piece of robbery ever perpetrated upon a peo- ple. Why doesn’t the editor first show himself an honest man? Why resort to the empty theory of ethnologist to conceal the shame of ‘robbery? The poor rhetoric and lack of logic betrays the fact that even ‘in this day, there are at leadt hun- ‘dreds of Afro-Americans far abler and better qualified to defend the ‘truth than this man, who resorts only to abuse, slander and the per- version of the truth in order to sup- port a pernicious and wicked motive. here are Negroes in America who are by talent, brain and culture far the superior of this malignant tra- ‘ducer and would not descend to the low level of blackguard and robber in order to dkprive ignorant white men of their rights. Without the candor or courage of Tillman, he constructs a spurious proposition out of a vici- ous and muddled brain and asked the student of history to accept it as true, It is all the merest balderdash ho claim that ethnologists have ever taught the nonsense which the ignor- ant editor of ‘The Appeal has at- tempted to offer as so much matter of fact and science—that the cranial sutures of the Negro close much earlier than in ovher races. Over eager to fix the stigma of degenera- tion upon the black man, this un- scrupulous being does not hesitate to indulge ‘his exuberant imagination in substantiating his own mad stupid- ity. As though people know nothing of the recorded facts given from Jo- sephus and Heroditus, he repudiates the truth of history only that he may degrade the Negro. The remarkable native ability, talent and genius of Benjamin Banneker, Tom Bennet, Bunyon, Reeves and George Vashon, all black men of this country, men unmatched and unsurpassed by sei- entists and scholars of any race, af- ford a bold and defiant contradiction to the absurd and malicious argu- ment made by the man of The Ap- peal. He ignores the truth of his- tory, fabricates a tissue of false hood, the creation of prejudice and hatred, which at once brings in ques- tion his own character for truth and veracity. The Negro race was the first to rock the cradle of the world’s civilization. Out of Ethiopia into Egypt, into Greece and Rome came th® torch from which dawned the first light of civilization. Ethiopians built the first cities known in ancient history, established the first govern- ment and showed themselves skilled in many of the arts and sciences of which Americans now boast. The in- habitants in their best days, unlike many parts of the adulterous south, were a chaste, pure and moral peo- ple, and Heroditus, the historian, verifies the truth of this statement. With little regard for recorded facts, The Appeal man ayers that slavery has always prevailed among ‘the na- tives of Africa; but it will be remem- bered that it was not until European nations through ‘the slave trade be- gan their work of plunder and rob- ery, was slavery or the slave trade known among the natives. The Ne- gro cannot justly be impeached for crimes imposed upon him, His sins are largely those of the white man, and his vices and immoralities are in many respects the enforced practices of the dominant race. Is the Negro non-moral ‘by nature, then why in Christian southland is the world ask- ed to confront such scenes of horror, of butchery and unparalleled de- bauchery as prevail everywhere throughout Christendom? Why, should white men versea in the his-| tory of races touch upon a matter so delicate and repulsive? If the Negro is not to be accounted a moral being, then what of the white races who flaunt their worst vices under the garb of a professed and holy re- ligion? The Appeal man, wise in his own conceit, knows very little com- pared with what he should know. Reckless and daring in the spirit of race pride, he offers himself a para- gon of excellence, while in blunder- Another Innocent Lynched.

Bowman, was born in Louis- ville, Ky., coming to Cleveland in 1861, He learned the — plastering trade and followed it a number of years, giving that up to railroad on the Lake Shore for a few years. He then became a musician, ‘following that profession ever since.

He is business agent of the Musical Mutual Protective asso- elation and is on several important committees of that organization, also representing it in the United Trades and Labor Conneil of Cuya- hoga county. Mr. Bowhan is » mar- ried man, having a wife and daugh- ter, a most promising young lady. He is an interesting talker, genial, and is popular in the organization ‘he so faithfully represents as business agent, nearly all of the members of which are of other classes or races. He is one of its founders, and with the editor of The Gazette was one of the association's first executive of- ficers. HERBERT W. TAYLOR. The Interesting Carcer of a Young Man of the Race Who Is Industri- ‘Ine above is a very good likeness of one cf our enterprising young men, Herbert W. Taylor, who was born March ‘13, 1878, at Wrightsville, Pa., entering school at the age of 6 and coming out at 16. During the summer months he worked as errand boy ina grocery store. Mr. Taylor then worked in a stone quarry, on a farm for about one year, in @ lum- ber yard about six months, and in a rolling mill as a laborer for about two years and a half, At the age of 21 he left his native city for Cleve- land and upon arrival here went to work asa building laborer, joining the Builders’ Labor union June 10, 1399. After being in the umm about eight months he was elected presi- dent and held that position until June 25, 1900, wnen he was elected pm “Sy ee, rZ o HERBERT W. TAYLOR. business agent, the position he now holds. At the time ot his joining the union it was a local of good only in Cleveland. Late in 1900 the local went into the international. In De- cember, 1900, Mr. Taylor was elected delegate to the 14th annual conyen- tion of the International union held in Paterson, N. J., in February, 1901, being the first and only Afro-Ameri- can delegate at the convention. It was through Mr. Taylor that the next convention was brought to Cleveland, in February, 1902, when he was elected first vice president by ac- clamation. The next convention was held in Ft. Wayne, Ind., and Mr. Taylor wus re-elected, and in the same manner as before, by acelama- tion. The convention sent him to Chicago to fix up some trouble. He succeeded in restoring harmony and increasing the membership of the unions materially. During his ad- ministration as business agent of lo- cal union No, $ of the Building La- ‘oorers” International Protective Union of America the membership has grown from about 50 to nearly 500 (white and colored), and from a depleted treasury to one of which they ean boast. The union is in a very healthy condition. MAYOR LOW STILL ‘KNOCKING’ Ex-President Cleveland Presides and Low. Abbott and Washington Speak. New York City.—-Maycr Low intro- duced ex-President Cleveland, who presided over’the meeting held here Tuesday evening in the concert hall of Madison Square garden in the in- terest of Tuskegee Normal and In- dustrial institute. Dr. Lyman Abbott followed them. Mayor Low’s speech was characterized by its very evident sympathy for the southern “whites. He had already given us to under- stand this by his steadfast tefusal to recognize the Afro-American repub- licans of this city among his many thousands of appointments. Booker ‘T. Washington spoke at length on the work of the Tuskegee institute. W.H.Baldwin, jr., treasurer of Tuske- gee, announced that since the meet- ing had begun he had received two telegrams, one announcing a gift of $10,000 from a woman in Ohio and the other a gift of $1,000 from a man and woman in the south. He said that $56,000 had been needed to pay the indebtedness of the institution, and taking the gifts into considera- ion there was still $45,000 needed, for which he made an urgent plea, as well as fora further endowment sum. er Emserest ta the Mitehen.

New York City—Former President Grover Cleveland presided at a big mass meeting held under the aus- pices of the Armstrong association, in Madison Square Garden concert hall, Manhattan, on tuesday evening. The methods and work of Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee, Ala., nor- mal and industrial institute, were discussed. It was one of the most notable meetings that have ‘been held in New York in the interest of the uplifting of the southern Afro- American ‘through industrial train- ing. Mr, Washington made the prin- cipal address, Other speakers were Edgar Gardner Murphy, of Mont- gomery, Ala.; Rev. Lyman Abbott and William H.

As would be natur- ally- expected, the melodies to the several songs are simple in form, al- though characteristic of the verbal text. Minor harmonies predominate, and there is an absence of the rhythm so prevalent in “ragtime” music. The music, although the work of an amatenr, displays a natural fund of graceful melody. The titles of the songs indicate their varied characteristics, They are: “The De- serted Plantation,” “Hunting Song,” “Little Brown Baby,” “Christmas is a-Comin’,” “Turkey Song,” “Time to Tinker Ree “A Banjo Song,” and e@ fetching li “Lullaby.” What Newspaper Do You Read? ed ‘ ARE YOU A SUBSCRIBER OF { THE GAZETTE?

SECURE A FREE HOME IN THE FERTILE WHEAT FIELDS OF WESTERN CANADA. To the Editor: RARE ce LL ma Be ee te BT eS ae SL forts are now being made by inter- ested persons and corporations to stem the tide. The efforts are being initiated chiefly by railway and real estate interests in the Slates from which the bulk of the emigration takes place. The movement of popu- lation has taken from numerous sfates thousands of persons whose presence along railways in these states made business for the trans- portation companies. The move- ment has also become so widely known that it has prevented the set- tlement of vacant lands along these lines, parties who might have locat- ed there, being attracted to the free and more fertile lands of Canada. The result of the movement has been that the railway companies not only see the vacant lands along their lines remain vacant, but they also sea hundreds of substantial farmers who have helped provide business for these railways move away and so cease their contributions. The farmers have moved to Canada be- cause they were convinced that it would be to their financial interest to do so. In moving they have been inconsiderate enough to place their own financial interests before those of the financial interests of the rail- way corporations. In addition to the railway corpgra- tions, real estate dealers are wotk- ing to stem the flow of emigrants. Ot course every emigrant who goes te Canada means the loss of com- missions on land deals by real es- tate dealers. Now a person has but to know what the interests are that are trying to stop the flow to know what motive is influencing their course. The emigration means finan- cial loss to railway corporations and to real estate men. ‘These interests therefore are not directing their op- position efforts out of any love for the departing emigrants or out of any-high patriotic motives either. They are doing so purely from self- ish interests. It is a matter of dol- lars and cents with them. They are so petriotic, they are so consumed by love for their fellow citizens that they want to prevent these fellow citizens going to Canada and getting free farms of the best wheat land in the world; and instead they want to make them stay on high priced farms in the United States where they will continue to pour money into the pockets of these railways and real estate men. One of the methods employed by these interests to stem the tide is the distribution of matter to news: papers, painting Canada in the dark- est colors. These articles emanate chiefly from a bureau in St. Louis, ‘They are sent out at frequent inter- vals for simultaneous publication. A writer is employed at a high salary to prepare the matter. Moreover, statements absolutely at variance with the truth have lately been published broad cast. ‘These ap- pear chiefly in what purport to be letters from persons who are alleged to have gone to Canada and become disgusted with it, Only a few of such have been published and they con- tain statements that are absurd in their falsity. Whether the parties whose names appear in connection with these letters haye ever been in Canada and if so, their history while there, is to be thoroughly looked into. The discovery of their motive, like the discovery of the mo- tive of the interésts who are en- gineering the opposition, may prove iiumining. In the meantime, however, it may be pointed out that only a few of such letters have appeared but since 1897 over 87,000 American set- tlers have gone to the Canadian West. Can any reasonable person suppose for a moment that if Cana- do was one-quarter as bad as repre- sented in these letters the 87,000 Americans now there would remain in the country; or, if the Canadian West had not proved thé truth of all that was claimed for it, the papers of every State in the American North- west would not be filled with letters saying so? Imagine 87,000 aggressive Amerteans deceived and not making short shift of their deceivers, ‘The fact is the 87,000 are well satisfied and are encouraging their friends to follow them, Anyone who sees any of these dis- paraging letters should remember that it is railway and real estate in- terests who have from purely selfish reasons organized a campaign to stem the flow to Canada, If Canada were half as bad as represented there would be no need of such an organi- zation. The fact that such exists is of itself a magnificent tribute to Canada. Finally it should not be for- gotten that the letters published are brimful of falsehoods and that 87,000 satisfied Americans in the Canadian West constitute a living proof that such is the case, The Canadian Government Agent whose name appears in advertise- ment elsewhere in this paper, is an- thorized to give all information as to rates, and available lands in West- ern Canada. S A Mistake Somewhere. | It is claimed that most of the ‘South American revolutions are started in New York by pegple who are in the gun business. This must be erroneous, says the Chicago Ree- ord-Herald, They don’t use anything but pole-axes and crowbars in’ those affairs. or ae « DO YOU. ai COUGH DON T:.-BDELAY eee La a oe TRE sy - CSAS eee Tt Cures Colds, Sore 'Throst, enzs, Whooping ‘Cough, Bronchitis oe 4 certain care for Consumption in frst stages, and s sure relief in advanced stages.

Israel Isdaner, owner of a Phila- delphia tenement house in which three lives were lost by fire, has deen committed by the coroner to await the action of the grand jury on the charge of criminal neglect.

Knowledge of What Is Best More Im- portant Than Wealth With- oak kk, It must be apparent to every one that qualities of the highest order are neces- sary to enable the best of the products of modern commerce to attain permanently to universal acceptance. However loudly heralded, they may not hope for world-wide preeminence unless they meet with the general approval, not of individuals only, but of the many who have the happy faculty of selecting, enjoying and learn- ing the real worth of the choicest prod- ucts. Their commendation, consequently, becomes important to others, since to meet the requirements of the well in- formed of all countries the method of manufacture must be of the most per- fect order and the combination thé most excellent of its kind. The above is true not of food products only, but is éspe- clally applicable to medicinal agents and after nearly a quarter of a century of growth and general use the excellent remedy, Syrup of Figs, is everywhere accepted, throughout the world, as the best of family laxatives. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative and carmin- ative principles of plants known to act most beneficially on the system and pre- sented in the form of a pleasant and re- freshing liquid, but also to the method of manufacture of the California Fig Syrup Co., which ensures that uniformi- ty and purity essential in a remedy in- tended for family use. Ask any physi- clan who is well informed and he will answer at once that it Is an excellent laxative. If at ali eminent in his pro- fession and has made a special study of laxatives and their effects upon the sys- tem he will tell you that it ts the best of family laxatives, because it is sim- ple and wholesome and cleanses and sweetens the system effectually, when @ laxative is needed, without any un- pleasant after-effects. Every ° well-in- formed druggist of reputable standing knows that Syrup of Figs is an excel- lent laxative and is glad to sell it, at the regular price of fifty cents per bot- tle, because it gives general satisfac- tion, but one should remember that in order to get the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs it is necessary to buy the genuine, which is sold in original pack- ages only; the name of the remedy— Syrup of Figs and also the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co. —printed on the front of every package.
