Entered at the post office in Cleveland, Ohio, as second-class matter. ALLIED PRINTING TRADE OFF COUNCIL CLEVELAND CLEVELAND, SATURDAY, SEPT. 5, 1903. 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. It does not even take a political prophet to see Hanna's finish. There will be a democratic assembly and a republican governor in Ohio about Jan. 10, 1904. Mark our prediction! Governor Bliss, of Michigan, is very properly doing what Governor Nash, of Ohio, did a couple of years ago—refusing to honor the requisition of a southern governor on the ground that the Afro-American desired would be lynched on his return to the South. Other northern governors should follow the precedent thus established, at least until the South discontinues its wholesale lynching for all causes, real and alleged. es, real and alleged. As "Uncle" Mark Hanna is charged with all the misdeeds of the Republican party we should certainly give him credit for the good deeds that party does. One such was the nomination by the Cuyahoga county Republicans convention of Mr. H. T. Eubanks of Cleveland for member of the Ohio General Assembly.—Washington (D. C.) Record. The nomination of Henry Eubanks is NOT a "good deed," by any means; nor is it one that reflects credit upon either Hanna or the Cuyahoga county "Republican" convention which made the nomination and which was controlled by Hanna's friends. The reasons have been repeatedly given in this paper and are in brief; that Eubanks opposed the election of the Afro-American candidate on the Republican ticket in 1899; that he supported Tom L. Johnson for mayor as against Hon. W. J. Akers, the Republican candidate in 1901; and that both in an intellectual and representative capacity as well as others, Eubanks is not by far a proper candidate; nor was he the choice of our people for the nomination. The fact is, if the fellow had the education, ability, etc., and was a nominee as is the case, he would still have no claims upon either our people or the Republican party for reasons already stated. He long ago forfeited these and has done practically nothing to regain them. There is absolutely no question as to his overwhelming defeat at the November election. The great majority of our people are bitterly opposed to him and very properly so. Hanna and his friends can foist unfit and undeserving candidates upon us but they cannot make us support them. PLANVING'S DEATH A LESSON. The cold-blooded murder of Prof. Planving, of Pointe Coupee, La., Industrial Institute, by white brutes, because he was too successful in his efforts to improve the condition of our people in that immediate vicinity, recalls vividly to mind Rev. Byron Gunner's somewhat similar experience some years ago in a Louisiana parish (county) known as Iberia or New Iberia, if memory serves us correctly. Rev. Mr. Gunner's school was burned down and under threat of death he was driven out of that section of the state after being for hours in the hands of the mob of white brutes that put him on a train. They claimed he was educating Afro-American children "above theirs;" yet they refused absolutely to send their children to school. It was a similar condition to this that caused Prof. Planving's brutal murder on last Sunday night. It is also just such a condition in the vicinity of Tuskegee, Ala., as will cause the destruction of that institution and the death of Booker Washington, the very moment he attempts to lead our people and stops trucking to the South or quasi-friends (white) of the race in the North. This too explains why the wizard of Tuskegee an never be THE LEADER of our people. His hands, mouth and feet are tied as far as the race is concerned just so long as he and his institution are situated in many ways as they are. This the death of Prof. Planving ought to make clear to every one, black and white. MISSISSIPPI'S DARK HOUR. Major Vardeman, of Mississippi, only equalled by one-eyed Ben Tillman, of South Carolina, as a Negrohater, has at last won the democratic nomination for governor of his state. In Mississippi and other southern states a democratic nomination is equivalent to an election. Therefore it is even now "Governor-elect" Vardeman. It seems to matter not that this very thing is principally the result of the adoption of an amendment to the Mississippi Constitution which abrogates a section of the United States Constitution, for have not six other southern states done the same thing, and too in defense of the fundamental law of the land, the judicial, executive and leg- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5. 1903. islative branches of the government as well as all law-abiding citizens? Vardeman's hobbies are restriction of the Afro-American's educational facilities, disfranchisement, lynching, "Jim Crow" railroad and street cars and every other burden he can impose upon our people. In his speeches he referred to President Roosevelt in the most grossly offensive terms. Indeed if there is one man in this country a bigger fool and jackass because of his prejudice than Tillman, Graves, Dixon, and Sam Jones, it is this man (?) Vardeman. The one ray of light that comes from Mississippi, is the report that a majority of the members of the legislature of the state, are opposed to any change in the laws that would deprive the Afro-American children of Hades-Mississippi of their schools. THE TENDENCY OF THE PRESS ON LYNCHING. The Associated Press recently sent out the following: Lewiston, Idaho.—William Hamilton, aged 24 years, confessed today to the murder and mutilation of Mabel Richards, a 11-year-old girl, whose body was found near Anatone yesterday. Hamilton is a white man and will be lynched before morning, as hundreds of people are assembling in the town. The dead girl is the daughter of Sheriff Richards. Now what right had they to say that the man would be lynched? Why must it be heralded abroad in these days whenever a crime is committed that lynching is in order? Why are we to be told as in this case it "is a white man?" The announcement seems significant; that in these times, we lynch white men, and of course we must lynch Negroes. But this whole thing is a deplorable farce which is fast dragging the country down to shame and ruin. Why does the press teach the public mind to expect or anticipate a lynching "frolic?" Lynching should be discountenanced upon any terms, because it is wrong and is fast bringing the whole country into a state of disorder and misrule. Then to announce that a lynching must follow upon the heel of some heinous assault, simply means that the law must be barred and that mob-violence is the thing to be expected. We very much fear that the white press of today is doing more in this way to aid and abet mob-rule than prevent it. The evidence is everywhere manifest that it seeks too often to be sensational rather than to adopt positive and stringent measures in breaking up a gang of miserable miscreants who set at defiance the laws of the land. Any thoughtful person who studies the tendency of passing events must see the alarming effect of lynching upon the public, and the terrible end to which the nation is drifting. But with a complacency and ease that is at once astonishing, we are told that a white man has committed a heinous assault and that in all probability he will be lynched. The above simply invites the mob to move on to its bloody and hellish work, for such would they encourage. Yes, Negroes need not complain when their time comes, for "we lynch white men as well." The faithful and law-abiding whites can and must offer no protest now when "we lynch Negroes," for don't you see how we demons of midnight darkness, gloned with a thirst to commit murder, hurry on to our death-dealing occupation? But what is the advertisement that is offered to the world? It is this, that in America and in the South particularly, the business of the mob is to lynch Negroes, yet as an apology for its crime, it sometimes lynches white men. At least this is the announcement given out and the killing of white men for an assault has in this way come about. The act of killing white men is the apology for the wholesale slaughter of Negroes upon the merest charge or suspicion. But white men are not lynched every time the announcement is made. A more barefaced and palpable lie has never yet been given out to the American people. The white man recently said to be lynched in Kentucky was not lynched and Wm. Hamilton anounced in the above dispatch, as a man who "would be lynched before morning," was not lynched. The best thing for this Southern wing of the Associated Press to do is to deal justly and to cease this hypocritical method of concocting apologies as an excuse for murdering Negroes. The press in general has but a single duty to perform and that is, to discourage and denounce lynching and to brand the villains, who engage in this business, as the most loathsome beings on God's earth. Human nature revolts against crime, it revolts against the scoundrels, black or white, who would be guilty of the dastardly and foul act of assaulting a girl or a woman, and we are satisfied that no penalty inflicted under the law can be too great, but we do insist for the sake of all that is dear and sacred in life, and for the sake of the peace and happiness of the millions who are pledged to maintain the government of the people, let the law have its course, let the law prevail, and let justice be done. Eleven Whites Arrested by Uncle Sam. Wynne, Ark.—A deputy marshal has arrested eleven prominent white planters of Poynsett county on the charge of "whitecapping." The prisoners will be taken to Helena to appear before the United States district court. The Afro-American laborers employed at a saw-mill in Poynsett county were recently forced to leave under threats of violence by a band of white planters, causing the mill to suspend. The arrests were made at the instigation of the mill owner. Jim Crow Dining Cars. Austin, Tex.-The Texas Railroad Commission is considering the question of issuing an order requiring railroads which operate dining or cafe care upon their lines in this state to provide separate compartments for white and colored travelers. Complaint has been made to the commission that on the Fort Worth and Denver Railroad dining cars Afro-Americans are permitted to eat with white passengers. Terrible! isn't it?

Planving, an Afro-American educator, president of the Pointe Coupee Industrial Institute and intimate friend of Booker T. Washington, was shot from ambush and killed near Oscar, La., last Sunday night. The whites say, Prof. Planving had been recently making incendiary speeches to our people, advising them not to work for white people. In his last address, they say, he told them to buy plantations in Pointe Coupee, and then they would have white people work for them. They also say, the address was made in the hearing of many of the white men of the community in which Prof. Planving lived, and that it so angered them that it was decided to put him out of the way. All of which are LIES, pure and simple, as every Afro-American knows too well. Prof. Planving never said anything of the kind ascribed to him. He was too successful in his school work in that benighted section of Louisiana, and was not "run out" as was Rev. Byron Gunner some years ago for the same reason, but simply killed. That is all! Booker T. Washington was to have visited Oscar and New Roads next month to lecture and was to have been the guest of Prof. Planving. He will doubtless "duck" now. Sending Lynchers to Jail. Sending Lynchers to Jail. A conviction has been obtained in the first of the cases growing out of the recent attack by a mob on the Danville (Ill.) jail and the subsequent lynching. One of the mob leaders has been found guilty of assault with intent to murder the sheriff and will serve an indeterminate sentence of from one to fourteen years. The other indicted rioters are reported to be terror stricken at the realization of the fact that convictions are not only possible but almost certain to follow as fast as the courts can take up the cases. Eleven men and one woman are under indictment. The authorities are encouraged and believe that the instigators and ring-leaders of the riot will soon be placed behind bars and the good name of the city in a measure redeemed. Numerous Personals.

A Lunatic Makes a Persistent Demand to See President Roosevelt-Said He Wanted to Marry Miss Alice. Oyster Bay, L. L., Sept. 3.—A man giving his name as Frank Weilbrener was arrested at Sagamore Hill late Tuesday night while making a persistent demand to see President Roosevelt. The man was armed with a revolver fully loaded. He was taken to the village and placed in the town prison. Weilbrenner is five feet eight inches high, 28 years old, has a dark moustache, black eyes and evidently is of German descent. He resides in Syosset, about five miles inland from Oyster Bay. He was well dressed. It is thought by the officers that Weilbrenner was accompanied by two other men, as their footprints were found in the mud alongside of the buggy tracks. In view of this fact the officer on duty telephoned to the vulture for assistance and was soon joined by two other secret service men. Weilbrenner was arraigned before Justice Franklin on complaint of the secret service operative who placed him under arrest. Justice Franklin questioned the prisoner about his movements Tuesday night. His replies were made in a quiet tone of voice, but they indicated, apparently beyond doubt, that the man is crazy. Asked why he went to Sagamore Hill, he replied: "I went to see the president about his daughter, Alice." "Had you an engagement with the president?" "Yes." "How was that engagement made?" "I talked with the president last night," replied Weilbrenner. "How did you talk with him?" "Oh, I just talked." "A sort of wireless talk was it?" "Yes, that is it, a wireless talk." "Why did you want to see the president about Miss Alice?" The examination of Weilbrenner was continued by Dr. George A. Stewart and Dr. Irving S. Barnes. Weilbrenner was declared by them to be insane. He will be placed immediately in the custody of Sheriff Johnson. of Nassau county. The Weilbrenner incident is the first occurrence of the kind during the president's sojourn at Sagamore Hill. It has demonstrated completely, in the opinion of officials here, the wisdom of the close and systematic guard which is maintained at all times over the president. He is exposed frequently to assault, but every care that human agencies can devise is exercised constantly to insure his personal safety and immunity from danger. Personally he was not perturbed by the Weilbemer incident, but, although the maintenance of the guard is often distasteful to him he thoroughly realizes the necessity of having made as certain as possible the personal safety of the president of the United States. It costs a merchant lots of money not to advertise. - Chicago Daily News. IN MINISTRY 32 YEARS. A Great Celebration in Honor of the Anniversary-Personals-Social and Other Hems.

O. conference, was present during the entire convention and gave to both the school and missionary workers new methods and plans concerning the work. The people were also delighted to meet Mr. James Johnson, her husband. After an excellent address on Sunday evening by Mrs. Johnson, on "Courrage and Faith," the convention adopted resolutions of thanks for the hospitality of the people here commending the grand leadership of Bishop B.

The Bible and the Empire State Express A Bible student has recently been figuring on how long it would have taken the people to make the journey from Dan to Beersheba if they could have had the benefit in the olden times of the Empire State Express. He figured that the train would have made this journey in less than three hours, although from a reading of the account in the Bible one would think it was a long journey, and it was for those days with their limited means of transportation. Ezekiel, the Chaldean prophet, had in his mind's eye something like the Empire State Express when he uttered the words recorded in the first chapter of his prophecy.

He meant that it should, says the Chicago Post. "I won over," she said to herself, "what's in that letter? He certainly was mightily disconcerted when he took it from his pocket." Later he changed his coat for his smoking jacket and lett the coat conveniently near her. The temptation was too great to be resisted, and when he was out of the room she slyly abstracted the letter from his pocket, as he had meant that she should do. Her curiosity was satisfied. It was the bill for her latest gown, with comments on extravagance written across it. She wanted to answer them, but she could not without betraying what she had done.
