THAT ALABAMA CASE. The supreme court's decision, of the first of the week in the Alabama disfranchisement case, was not upon the constitutionality of the now notorious amendment to the constitution of that state. It evaded that and announced that the right to regulate a certain phase of disfranchisement (denial of registration), belongs to congress, which, under the Fourteenth amendment, the house can do by reducing the representation of those states which disfranchise large classes of citizens, and unseat members or refuse seats to members-elect who come from districts in which sufficient disfranchisement is practiced. In the case of the senate, members can be unseated or members-elect refused seats who have been elected by an assembly, a sufficient number of whose members' alleged elections were secured as a result of like disfranchising conditions. Justices Harlan, Brewer and Brown, who dissented to the majority opinion, are emphatic in their statement that the only question involved in this Alabama case before the United States supreme court was that of jurisdiction of the circuit court and that it should have been sent back there for determination. They also insist that the denial of the right to vote, as the supreme court had more than once held, was certainly a constitutional question and that the circuit court, by the constitution itself, were expressly given jurisdiction over constitutional questions which, as a rule, are carried on to the highest tribunal in this country for final decision. While it is true that this Alabama decision is discouraging, yet it is not true that the door of hope has been closed by Monday's ultimatum, to cases questioning the constitutionality of every disfranchisement amendment to state constitutions and every disfranchisement act of the state legislatures. The Associated Press on last Monday, in its dispatches to the daily papers of the country anent this Alabama decision, created the impression generally that the door of hope was closed by the supreme court. This, of course, was in deference to southern sentiment which in recent years has been especially active in an effort to discredit and injure the Afro-American in every conceivable way, and especially in the minds of the northern whites. Do not feel discouraged because the National Afro-American Council's case testing the constitutionality of the Louisiana disfranchising amendment to its state constitution, is pending in the supreme court, and the like test case of our people of Virginia is on its way there. This country's court of the last resort will be given an opportunity to pass upon the constitutionality of disfranchisement acts, something that was not true in the Alabama case passed upon on Monday last. THE MASTER AND THE SLAVE. There are questions which demand consideration as a matter of concern to those who have at heart the best interest of the people. Whether in the career of the nation, the master or the slave has been the more worsted of the two, owing to conditions, remains a question which may be easily answered. Conditions made it possible that the white and black race should be drawn into the common struggle for life and sustainance. Though living under circumstances diametrically opposed, yet the relations were such as to subject the two to influences most hurtful and demoralizing. Two forces were at work, the one subjective, the other objective, the one positive, the other negative, yet the effect in its spread and operation tended only to despoil human nature and degrade both master and slave. While the system of slavery was oppressive and dehumanizing to the latter, it served to engender the most brutal passions in the former. Trained to the practice of brutality and fiendishness, humanity quails under the deteriorating pressure of hopeless degeneracy. There is a decided difference between the white people of the north and those of the south, and this is due to the influence of southern practices which are at variance with the habits and customs of the people in the north. However unwilling we may be to admit the truth of the statement, yet facts are stronger than argument and cannot be brushed away by the mere whim of the moment. The people who once held men as slaves were themselves victims to a demoralizing and destroying influence. Trained to passions at once vicious and brutalizing, no race or nation can hope to escape the baneful effects of the mighty evil. The slave may have learned obedience and a disposition to accept the sanctions of moral law. But of the two, it is reasonable to conclude that though he was reduced to the meanest degradation, yet the man who administered the means of mischief must have embodied in his own nature the vilest element of a human devil. Though taught in the schools of learning, in theology, in the science of government, and in Christian education, yet the master who could brook these teachings and content himself to deal in the traffic of human slavery was of all men the most hopeless in magmanimity, in honor and a high sense of justice to his fellows. Quite willing to perpetuate a system so revolting to humanity and justice, need any fair-minded person wonder at the attempt now at hand by southern white men to reduce the Negro again to a condition of servitude and oppression? Need we wonder that this spirit of animosity and cruelty still seeks to vent its spleen against its victim? We are forced to believe that the southern heart still fosters the burning embers of slavery and that the only question before Americans today is the SOUTHERN PROBLEM. The slave-holding oligarchy still lives; it lives to tyrannize and to disturb the peace of the nation. It lives to press its malicious aims and if need be to overthrow the government to accomplish its ends. Dead to every sense of duty, to the nation and to the races who dwell under the government, they are animated with no higher ambition than that of applying those methods acquired in the school of slavery and oppression. By contact, by education and the gradual tendency to better things, the Afro-American is every day becoming a better citizen, but the hand which trained itself for daring mischief which knew no gauge save the will of the master, still strikes in wanton greed to degrade and destroy him upon whose brow is written the seal A BROTHER MAN. The failure or refusal to pass an anti-lynching bill, of the recent West Virginia assembly, seems to have so soured some obscure individual connected with the Charleston (W. Va.) Advocate that he "made a very nasty face" in a recent issue of that paper at a number of our race publications because they saw fit to publish complimentary notices of the recent favorable outcome of the "Click" Mitchell case, instituted about six years ago, under our Ohio anti-lynching law. Not content, the same individual expressed a hope, anent The Gazette's republication of the complimentary notices, which we see no good reason to gratify because it is absolutely of no consequence to us or anyone else, the aforementioned individual excepted, whether or not he reads The Gazette. He seems perfectly oblivious of the fact that he is giving the race press and The Advocate's readers an exhibition of characteristic childish pettishness and jealousy that is anything but encouraging from a race standpoint. Get busy, young man, and broaden. To say the least, you are too narrow, selfish and otherwise, to have access to the editorial columns of a race publication. He might study Editor J. R. Clifford's conduct of the Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press to great advantage. From the account of the elaborate preparations for the opening of the St. Louis exposition, sent to newspapers throughout the country last week, we learn that the Afro-American has been completely eliminated from any and all creditable participation in the affair. Not even a detail of our soldiers were permitted to take part in the opening festivities. Stay away from the exposition is our advice to all our people. YOU ARE NOT WANTED! That has been clearly shown in every conceivable way up to date. It requires little thought to realize the kind of treatment Afro-Americans will receive everywhere in the city and on the exposition grounds in places provided for the entertainment of the public (Afro-Americans excepted, of course)), such as restaurants, etc. The only place you may possibly be tolerated is at the gate when you purchase tickets, and it would not surprise us to learn that a separate entrance has been provided for the sycophantic members of the race who are foolish enough to attend. From the very inception of the exposition movement to date, Afro-Americans have been given to understand that they were and are not wanted. DON'T ATTEND THAT ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION! Booker T. Washington has alienated about one-third of the friendship for the race held by Grover Cleveland, Dr. Lyman Abbott and nearly every other prominent white friend of the race in the north before he came into contact with them. Booker is certainly winning northerners to the prejudiced southern whites' way of thinking on the race question, or rather the southern problem. As proof of this take Dr. Abbott and ex-President Cleveland's positions prior to that recent meeting in New York and compare them with the new ones assumed at it, and the great change to our detriment will be noted instantly. Washington is unquestionably doing the race far more harm than good. All, that he may have success with his school, which after all is but as a drop of water to Lake Erle, in the great work of uplifting and upbuilding the race in the south. The mob demonstration in Indiana the past week resulting in the brutal whipping of two white girls, sisters, and a young Afro-American who, it was CLAIMED, was too intimate THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1903.

Such demonstrations multiplied entirely too rapidly in this state for four or five years previous to the enaction of our law, seven years ago. Since 1896 we have had but two mob violence demonstrations worth noticing—practically none—and they occurred while the constitutionality of the law was being publicly questioned by at least two Ohio common pleas judges. Greater efforts upon the part of leading Afro-Americans in all northern states at least should be exerted in an effort to secure mob violence or anti-lynching legislation. To those of us who live in Cleveland, his home, and know Senator Marcus Alonzo Hanna, the silly twaddle of a few race publications anent his "friendship for the race," is worse than ridiculous. The most marked differences between Ben Tillman and Mark Hanna, from a race standpoint, are that one is a resident of the south, the other a resident of the north; one is outspoken and the other is not; one is a democrat and the other a silly-white sympathizing republican; one has one good eye and the other two. That is all. Gov. Nash, Major-Gen. Dick and Senator Hanna should be held strictly responsible this fall by Ohio Afro-American voters for the contemptible "turn-down" and snub so gratuitously administered in selecting soldiers to represent the state at the opening of the St. Louis exposition. Let our people thoroughly understand the matter NOW and remember it. Read carefully the Columbus, O., letter elsewhere in this issue. A mob of colored men in Cleveland, O., assaulted the town for the purge of retaliating for wrong done them by some white citizens. Several colored men were injured.—Jackson (Tenn.) Christian Index. This is NEWS to us. We have lived in "Cleveland, Ohio," many years and have never heard of any such demonstration. Our confrere has made a mistake. Where did you get the story? Ohio Afro-Americans are to have a monster demonstration next March to celebrate the passage of our Ohio anti-lynching law. An editorial writer on the Charleston (W. Va.) Advocate is to be the principal speaker. That much of the program has been decided upon. A "Jim Crow" street car law went into effect at Memphis recently. It is an act of the Tennessee legislature and is certainly "special legislation." Our attorneys in that state should at once look up the constitutionality of the law. The Jackson (Tenn.) Christian Index heads an editorial, "Keep Sweet." We agree heartily with our esteemed confere. By all means "keep sweet"—tackle the bath tub as often as you can. Senator Fairbanks nor anyone else save President Roosevelt will get Ohio's support in the next national republican convention. CONTEMPTIBLE TREATMENT. Afro-American Troops Passed by in the Selection of a Regiment to Send to the St. Louis Exposition. Columbus, O.—In selecting a regiment to send to the St. Louis exposition Gov. Nash has ignored the Afro-American soldiers of the state. They and Ohio Afro-Americans generally are highly indignant, and have protested, but without avail. A regiment of 12 companies was to be selected. The First regiment, of Cincinnati, is going on its own account. This left seven regiments from which to pick the companies. It was decided to choose the star company from each regiment, and one company from the engineers. When this was done, four companies were left to be selected. The soldiers of the Ninth battalion thought they should be recognized, and should have been. Instead, the other regiments were gone over again, to complete the 12 companies needed. Nash, Senator Hanna and Major General Dick are responsible for the rejection. The members of the Ninth battalion are well drilled and fine soldiers in every way. Their treatment in this matter is contemptible in the extreme and will be resented at the polls this fall when Hanna, Dick and Nash come before the people begging votes. It is an outrage! "HIAWATHA" SUNG. First Appearance of the Coleridge-Taylor Choral Society a Great Success-Exceptionally Well Sung. Washington, D. C.—The first appearance of the Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Choral society, under Prof. J. T. Layton's direction, occurred April 23 in Coleridge-Taylor's "Hiawatha." The Metropolitan church, one of the largest church auditoriums in the city, was completely filled with an audience that evinced its appreciation by close attention and discriminating applaus. Following were the soloists: Mrs. Kathryn Skeene Mitchell, of Cleveland, soprano; Mr. Sidney Woodward, of Boston, formerly of this city, tenor; Mr. Harry Burleigh, of Erie, Pa., baritone. The accompanists were Mrs. Gay Pelham and Miss Mary L. Europe at two pianos, and Mr. William Braxton, organist, at a vocalion. It was the first time Mr. Taylor's oratorio of "Hiawatha" had been given here, and it was exceptionally well sung. At the close of the second part the baritone solo and chorus were so well sung and with such thrilling effect that the whole number had to be repeated. The other encores came after the male chorus in the third part and the tenor solo, "And the Black Robe-Chief Made Answer." Boston, Mass.—Joe Walcott, the prize fighter, filed a petition in bankruptcy in the United States court. He represented his liabilities at $1,889 and his assets nothing.

He is a tenor of rare quality and his accompaniment is perfect. Dr. Wilson, author and reader, surprised many of his audience with his versitility, and he scored a distinct success both personally and artistically. His original sketch, "De Watkins Fambly," from which he read extracts, teems with humor and action.

C.—By a divided bench—5 to 3, Justice Day being absent—the supreme court denied the application of Jackson W. Giles, on behalf of himself and 5,000 other Afro-Americans in Montgomery county, Alabama, to compel the registrars of that county to place their names on the registration books. The case was brought in the federal court for the District of Alabama, alleging the deprivation of their constitutional rights under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments, but that court dismissed the cause for want of jurisdiction, and on that question it was brought to the supreme court on appeal and by certificates. Justice Holmes, in delivering the majority opinlon, said the question of jurisdiction and the merits of the case at bar were so interwoven that it became necessary for the court to take up both, for it was impossible, in a suit like this, that the relief sought should be granted. It would be an extraordinary and unheard-of extension of political relief. He then discussed the allegations of the appellants that they had qualified for voting under the existing system in vogue in that state under the constitution adopted in 1901, which practically disfranchised Afro-Americans, yet they declare that system illegal and a fraud. Secondly, it was alleged that the state and the people of the state were parties to the fraud, which, in effect, deprived them of the right to vote. But any relief under the premises, he declared, would be beyond the powers of the court. The decree of the circuit court dismissing the bill for want of jurisdiction was, therefore, affirmed. Justice Holmes made only a brief announcement of his opinion from the bench, and did not make its text public. IT IS UNDERSTOOD, HOWEVER, THAT IT DOES NOT IN ANY WAY PASS UPON THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF THE ALABAMA CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT, THE COURT HAVING CONSIDERED IN CONNECTION WITH THE MERITS OF THE CASE ONLY THE QUESTION OF POWER TO GRANT RELIEF BY PROCEEDINGS SUCH AS THE CASE AT BAR. Justice Harlan, "the noblest Roman of them all," delivered a vigorous dissent to the majority opinion. The court, he said, had been asked to pass upon only one point, namely, whether the circuit court had jurisdiction of the case. Yet this court has left the question of jurisdiction in the air and had gone out of its way to take up the merits of the case, which was entirely against a long line of its decisions, many of which he quoted. He was not willing, he said, to be a party assenting to the principle that the court, for any reason, should step aside and consider the uncalled-for merits of a case. Justice Brewer, for himself and Justice Brown, also dissented. The only question involved, he said, was that of jurisdiction of the circuit court over the case. The denial of the right to vote, as the supreme court had more than once held, was certainly a constitutional question, and the circuit court, by the constitution itself, were expressly given jurisdiction over constitutional questions. The circuit court, therefore, had jurisdiction over this case, and it should be sent back there for determination. In explaining the case one of the majority justices said the decision did not pass upon the validity of the constitution of Alabama, but simply held that even if it were unconstitutional a court of equity was without power to grant relief. He added that the suit brought by Giles alleged that by the constitution of Alabama a preliminary registration was provided for, and that those who got on the preliminary list became permanently entitled to vote and would not be subject to property and other disqualifications affecting permanent registration. Although entitled to be registered on the preliminary list, the complainant averred that registry had been refused him, and the effect of the mode of conducting the preliminary registration was to fraudulently disqualify the colored people in Alabama. This was effected by keeping them off the preliminary list, while all the whites had been put upon the list. The court, in brief, had decided that whatever might be an individual right in an action at bar to redress a political wrong, there was no power in a court of equity to redress a political wrong of this kind. It had also held that the legitimate outcome of the complainant's prayer was that the court should take charge of the state government and administer it, which, of course, was an unheard-of proposition. If, he added, the remedy at law was not adequate, the relief must be sought at the hands of the political department of the government—congress.

Southampton, England, April 29.—Gen. J. Franklin Bell, U. S. A., who is on his way home from the Philippines, was shown the cabled digests of the report of Lieut. Gen. Miles. He said to a representative of the press: "I must decline to make any comment on the statement further than to remark that all complaints made to Gen. Miles while he was in the Philippines have been investigated by the war department. In the ordinary course of events these reports of investigations probably have been forwarded to Washington." "I would greatly regret to have the American people believe that any American officers or soldiers had been wantonly cruel or inhuman in their treatment of natives. However, I have said in official reports all I care to say on that subject. I do not believe that anything I can say unofficially will change any one's opinion; nothing certainly would make any one who served creditably in the Philippines think that the conduct of the American army has been characterized by cruelty, nor could I change the opinion of any one who wished to believe the contrary." IS NOT A BAD TRUST. National Wholesale Druggists' Association Is Held to be a Legal Combine. Albany, N. Y., April 29.-The National Wholesale Druggists' association has won by a decision of the court of appeals, its fight over the firm of John D. Parke & Sons, of Cincinnati. The Cincinnati firm are so-called "cut rate druggists" and also manufacturers of proprietary medicines. They brought an action against the Druggists' association (which is an unincorporated concern composed of 125 manufacturers, jobbers and wholesalers of drugs from Maine to California) charging that the latter conspired to prevent the sale of certain drugs to the plaintiff company because they refused to enter the combination. The Parke Co. therefore endeavored to break up the association. The lower courts held that the association under its peculiar agreements was not a combination in restraint of trade and the court of appeals yesterday affirmed the decision. WERE TIRED OF LIFE. Three Residents of Washington Suited by the Corbelle Ace Route. cided by the Carbolic Acid Route. Washington, April. 29.—Three persons committed suicide in this city Tuesday. All used carbolic acid as a means of ending life. The three suicides were Leonard H. Mangum, a former clerk in the census office; Guy E. Padgett, a real estate and insurance agent, and Mrs. Sadie Plummer, a young woman whose husband keeps a lunch room on Pennsylvania avenue. Mr. Mangum was a native of North Carolina, but lived for many years in Arkansas. It is said that he at one time was wealthy, but lost his money and was compelled to come to this city to seek employment. He lost his position in the census office last July and since then has been unemployed. His body was found beneath a tree in the reservation south of the White House grounds. We are anxious for you to remember that it is our aim to give BEST VALUES in reliable merchandise, and get them here in just the right time. A dollar has nearly double its value during this sale. THREW OUT ROCKS. Mountain in Town of Frank, N. W. T., in Fruption. Nearly 100 Lives Lost in a Mining Camp - Houses and Buildings Crushed to Pieces by Immenge Masses of Vancouver, B. C., April 30.—The little town of Frank, situated in the foothills on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains, was overwhelmed with disaster about 4:30 o'clock Wednesday morning. What was apparently a volcanic eruption on the top of Turtle Mountain, overlooking the town, scattered an immense quantity of rock and debris over the town, stopping a mine, imprisoning the miners, crushing a number of houses and killing 112 people. The telegraph lines all went down and news is meagre. The entire top of Turtle Mountain was scatte-ed over the sleeping village of Frank. Immense pieces of rock were thrown high in the air and descending crushed in the roofs of houses and stopped up the mouth of the Frank mine. Most of the buildings in the town and many of the houses were crushed like eggshells and their inhabitants instantly killed. The earth was opened by a gigantic fissure, three-quarters of a mile long. The Old Man river, which runs through the town, was completely dammed up and the railroad track was rendered impassable for a distance of two miles. It is generally thought that the disruption of Turtle Mountain was brought about by a seismic disturbance, although some persons declare that the origin of the upheaval was volcanic. No lava has been seen and aside from the smoke from the mountain, the atmosphere is clear. There is, however, no explanation for the continued upheaval of rock. The eruptive influences seem to center at the crown of Turtle Mountain. Buffalo, N. Y., April 30.—An official dispatch from the Canadian Pacific railroad to the Associated Press says: Latest reports from Frank, N. W. T., via MacLeod, N. W. T., says: A volcanic eruption occurred here at 4 a. m. Wednesday. The earth opened up for three-quarters of a mile in length and millions of tons of rock slid off the top of Turtle Mountain, which overhangs the little town. The coal pit mouth and several buildings near thereto were buried. It is estimated that the loss of life is about 70 residents of the town and in addition about 50 miners are entombed in the mine. The Canadian Pacific Railway Co. at once arranged for trains to convey doctors, nurses and hospital stores both from the east and the west to Frank. EDWARD AT THE VATICAN. England's King Visits Pope Leo in Rome. Rome, April 30.—King Edward visited Pope Leo at the Vatican Wednesday afternoon, going direct from the British embassy in a closed carriage. He was accompanied by Col. Lamb, the British military attache. The carriage bearing the king was followed by another containing members of his majesty's suite. When the royal party reached the grand staircase leading to the papal apartment, King Edward was greeted by the Marquis Sacchetti, who acted for Prince Ruspoli, the introducer of sovereigns, who is ill; Monsignor Mery Del Val and Prince Antici-Mattei. King Edward addressed a few words of thanks in return for the hearty greetings offered him. The royal party then proceeded between ranks of the Swiss guards, whose halberds gleamed in the sunlight that streamed through the windows. The hum of the busy city alone broke the deep silence that reigned within the Vatican. At the Clementine hall the party was met by the papal master of the chamber, Monsignor Bisleth, who was attended by personages of the secret antechamber. Upon arriving before the private apartment of the pope the guard rendered military honors to the British sovereign. At the conclusion of this ceremony the door of the pope's apartment was opened and the aged pontiff was revealed standing at the threshold. King Edward remained with the pontiff for 20 minutes. A bell was then rung and King Edward's suite was admitted and presented to the pope. Stuart Robson Dies. New York, April 30.—Stuart Robson, the veteran comedian, died last night of heart disease at the Hotel Savoy. He was 67 years old and had been on the stage for 51 years. Mr. Robson was taken ill early in March and was obliged to rest completely for two weeks. He resumed his engagement on March 19 and after playing in New York and Brooklyn appeared in various towns in the upper part of this state. A few days ago he was taken ill in Auburn, N. Y., and was then brought to this city. The interment will take place at Cohasset, Mass., on Friday. Payne's Latest Edict. Washington. April 30.—The postmaster general has issued an order in which he says reports have reached him that there are persons doing duty in the department who are carried on the rolls either of the Washington City postoffice or other postoffices, or who are employed under a specific appropriation for other purposes than department services in Washington, and the termination of this practice wherever it exists is directed. As a result of the order four employees of the Washington postoffice were dropped from the rolls yesterday. BEAUTIFUL PACE LOSES ITS BEAUTY WHEN UNADORNED WITH A HAND SOME HEAD OF HAIR.

CONTINENTAL CHEMICAL CO., Sole Owners. 9 Governor St., Richmond, Va. "Uncle Tom's Cabin" Eliminated. New York City.—In revising the catalogue for class libraries in the public schools, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" has been left out. Members of the board of superintendents say that Mrs. Stowe's story of conditions in the south before the war had served its purpose and, that, while it had been read with interest by the generation now grown up, it is of little value to the next generation. Claude C. Leland, superintendent of libraries in the schools, who revised the catalogue of books to be supplied, cut out "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and a motion to restore it to the list was lost by a tie vote of the superintendents.
