Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1896. 1896 to 1898. 1900 to 1902. ALLIED PRINTING TRADE & COUNCIL CLEVELAND CLEVELAND, SATURDAY, NOV. 7. 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. The campaign and election are past. Now settle down to work and business. Winter is upon us. There are many of our readers who could assist us materially in locating good representatives of The Gazette in cities and towns where we have none, if they would. Give the matter some thought, please, and let us hear from you as soon as possible. Suggest or recommend soon, as many as you can. Our long-time friend, Col. W. A. Pledger, editor of The Atlanta (Ga.) Age, recently commented upon Messrs. T. T. Fortune, W. M. Trotter, and F. L. Barnett in a way that falls far short of doing himself full justice. As the colonel does not often make mistakes, and especially of that kind, we are not only surprised but pained. Pledger is a leader and "gentleman of the old school." Naturally we expect only the best things from him and as a rule get them. Governor Frazier of Tennessee was in mighty poor business when he brought about a conference of southern agents of the Pullman Sleeping Car Company, for the purpose of having them agree upon a proposition to exclude Afro-Americans from the coaches of their company in the south. An attorney for the Pullman Company, located at Nashville, has announced to the Tennessee railroad commission that an order rescinding the right of our people to ride in sleepers and eat in dining cars of the company, with whites throughout the south, will soon be issued. We trust our people of that section of the country will remember that they have rights under the law when interstate passengers that Governor Frazier and southern agents of the Pullman company, cannot abrogate. We sincerely hope that some of them will vindicate these rights in the courts just as soon as opportunity affords. "CLICK" MITCHELL CASE ECHOES. A telegram from Chicago, Ill., tells us that the heirs of "Click" Mitchell have received their proportion of the damages awarded on account of his having been lynched in Ohio. Some of his relatives resided in Cook county, Illinois, and they are now, for the time being, smiling. This result was obtained under the Harry C. Smith Anti-Lynching statute. The beneficiaries were Mrs Lillian Brown and Mrs. Daisy Paine of Chicago, sisters of Charles W. Mitchell, who was lynched at Urbana, Ohio, June 4th, 1897. Each secured one-fourth of a verdict of $5,000. The remainder went to the two heirs residing in Ohio. This is the crowning act in the life's work of Editor Smith and he has been generously praised by the right-thinking people throughout the country.—Richmond (Va.) Planet. Thanks for the kind words, confrere. The court and other costs incurred in carrying the case to the state supreme court, in addition to the five thousand dollars paid the heirs of "Click" Mitchell, aggregated quite another five thousand dollars, making a total of TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS in all that Champaign county, Ohio, was mulcted of for permitting that lynching. This, under Ohio's Anti-Lynching law. More than this and still better, is the fact that this state has not had any other lynching since the passage of the act in 1896. The "Click" Mitchell affair came right upon the heels of a decision of a judge of a common pleas court of Ohio, that the law was "unconstitutional." The state supreme court later decided to the contrary, notwithstanding. A Logan county, Ohio, mob roughly handled three persons, two men of color and a white woman (since the Urbana "Mitchell" lynching), ducking them in a pond in November and forcing them to walk fifteen miles to Bellefontaine, Ohio. For this, under our law, that county which adjoins Champaign, was forced to pay the victims who were not seriously injured, TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS. And the money was prompt! paid, too. About two years ago an Afro-American was arrested in that Urbana which saw the lynching of "Click" Mitchell, also charged with the usual heinous crime. Was he lynched forthwith as in the case just referred to? No indeed! Ohio had a Mob Violence law that had made itself respected even in Urbana, Champaign county, as well as throughout the state. The result was a fair trial and the thorough exoneration of the individual arrested and so charged. This is just what would have happened in "Click" Mitchell's case had the law been allowed, by that now infamous Champaign county mob, to take its course. Mitchell was innocent of the crime charged. Later developments proved beyond all question or doubt that no such crime was ever committed on the woman (white), Mrs. Gaumer, by "Click' or anyone else. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1903. To sum up the matter for Ohio requires therefore but a moment: The Ohio Anti-Lynching law has practically put an end to lynching in Ohio and mutected two counties of the state of quite THIRTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS for one lynching and one mob violence demonstration, both of which were projected while the constitutionality of the law was being questioned or being attacked in the courts of the state. The results are glorious! Thank the Lord! TILLMAN'S ACQUITTAL. Bloodthirsty white men of the south take mean advantage of Afro-Americans, then take advantage of each other in the same way. The south has become a literal training school in butchery and crimes and does not scruple in its summary dealings against whom it would. Presumptuous in its vicious intent to first assert itself regardless of the demands of law, it executes its will, it enters into an unholy alliance with lawless partisans to shield itself in hellish iniquity. Thus in the case of James Tillman, ex-lieutenant governor of South Carolina, tried for killing Editor N. S. Gonzales, the verdict of "not guilty," as pronounced by the jury, stands today as one of the most daring miscarriages of law now known in the annals of American jurisprudence. To release a man from the clutches of the law in the fact of prima facie evidence substantiating his guilt, betrays the inhumanity of a cowardly jury. Tillman reckoned on his probable chance of acquittal even before he committed the crime. It was a base conspiracy, conceived and entered into, that Tillman should murder Editor Gonzales and the court should not harm him. In this unavenged murder, other bad men find license to hunt down their man and shoot him to death. The beginning of these villainous tragedies found its outgrowth in the wanton and reckless killing of black men. It has grown with its growth and strengthened with its strength, until today it has culminated in a bold and indiscriminate slaughtering of citizens and little or nothing done about it. Ex-Confederate General King, of Memphis, murdered Lawyer Poston, and at this time is serving out a life sentence in the Tennessee penitentiary. But today public sentiment inclines to lawlessness and bad men are finding favor with bribed juries. Editor Gonzales was a democrat and so is Tillman, but it is the strong against the weak, or in other words, it is a growing feeling of defiance and mob violence dominating the better element, which stands for law and order. But we contend for the full claims of human justice and whatever may canserve the demands of free government. We have long warned our countrymen to stand firm for the rights of the people and the sacredness of law. Our government under existing circumstances cannot maintain her recuperative power. It may survive, yet dissolution may come. Which shall it be? DR. S. A. STEEL'S TREAOHERY. The Rev. Dr. S. Appalachian Steel finds a well of pleasure in opposing any friendly measure proposed or accomplished in the interest of the colored people of America. Though he be himself a mere handful of struggling humanity depending upon his fellow man for liberty and happiness, yet he lifts the puny arm of rebellion to strike to earth a brother of his kind. Dr. Steel is a man of brain and power, but it is more than a pity that we find that class of men drifting into the very mire of ignorance and degradation only to gratify an ambitious phraseology. Vain ambition is a thing greatly to be deplored among men. But human weakness is a thing that can command only our deepest commiseration. Which of these has become the besetting sin to Dr. Steel may possibly be perplexing to intelligent and fair-minded people. One thing, however, is an absolute certainty, Dr. Steel is or is not controlled by an inordinate desire to seem to be more than what he is, or his soul is possessed with a sort of human weakness that must eventually betray him to the deserved scorn and contempt of men. Just what it is to which he aspires, has not been determined. But in his idle dreamings he sees fame and glory in his attempt to debase and humiliate an fortunate race. A thousand times has the same assault been made against the race, which he now makes. Despising the proud history of a once grand and glorious people in the days of the world's bright civilization, Dr. Steel ignores the fact that they ever had a history. Blindly he beats the wind in the vain satisfaction that "where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise." At least Dr. Steel is willfully ignorant of the record of the colored people in this country. He says, "I applaud the motive of Mr. Carnegie's gift to Tuskegee. But it was a mistake to give it to Booker Washington's school, a mistake springing out of that ignorance of the Negro, which is at the root of the northern effort to help him. But while I am opposed to Booker Washington's disastrous scheme, I am not opposed to the proper education of the Negro. What do I regard as the proper education of the Negro. Why I mean the education that fits him for the only place he will be allowed to occupy in this country. I would have the Negro taught the ordinary branches of English education and habits of industry and above all, the principles of morality." Dr. Steel declares that he is not opposed to the proper education of the Negro and he wants it to be distinctly understood that he is opposed to Booker Washington's plan of educating the Negro, "because I am the Negro's friend and not his enemy." Ah! but the above is all sophistry. Dr. Steel would regard no man as his friend who might actate such a policy of treatment for himself. Under no circumstances would he allow himself to be led into such a belief and regard such a one to be his friend. But Dr. Steel, as is well seen and shown, has played a desperate hand only to be called the champion and advocate of a cause that cannot win. He assumes the right to suit his own whims and no- tions regardless of the wishes of those whose rights are as good as his own and whose claims are equally as just. He approves or condemns men by their actions, but right and might lie in motion. With him the question arises, not "Ought I" but "Can I?" It is the angel that asks, "Ought I to do this?" It is the devil that asks, "Can I do this?" The good does what it ought to do; the bad does what it can do. Right is for the whole, might is for a part. The good dwells in the kingdom of right, the bad sits on the throne of might. Right rules by love and justice, it is the evangel of God. It is unselfish, it reasons like a sage, like a philosopher, but might is the scourge of the world that riots in carnage and groans in blood. It is a royal tyrant that will not be appeased, and like might and in emulation of the maddened spirit which actuates the soul of S..A. Steel, might would rend earth and sky only to accomplish its unholy ends, while the principle for which just men contend will long survive the treachery of Steel. THE RESULTS IN OHIO. Tuesday's election was an equal surprise in many ways to both democrats and republicans. The abnormal republican plurality in the state running over 100,000 is attributable in part to the thousands of McLean democrats throughout southern Ohio who have many grievances against Mayor Tom L. Johnson of this city, the democratic candidate for governor. Then too, the victory was in the nature of a landslide. In this (Cuyahoga) county, the republican victory is attributable mainly to two things. First: The single tax scare which Johnson gave particularly the Catholic democrats. It is a well-known fact that the land value holdings of this church throughout the state are very large. Johnson's threat to carry his hobby into effect in event of the democrat's election of a majority of the assembly, and his election to the governorship, caused the Catholic clergy of this city to generally advocate in sermons on Sunday last, the election of the republican ticket. To this scare was added that of the constitution taxation amendment which thousands of the members of that church construed as meaning the taxation of church property, including that of parochial schools. A study of the republican plurality in the city of Cleveland and county of Cuyahoga shows conclusively that almost all of the former, was made up of votes from this particular source—Catholic democrats. Therefore the republican victory in both state and county is largely in the nature of a double-headed rebuke to Tom L. Johnson. First, because of his frequent attacks upon McLean democrats, and secondly, as a result of his advocacy of the single tax. To us the unfortunate features of the splendid republican victory are, the assurance of the re-election to the United States senate of Marcus Alonzo Hanna, who in all his six or seven years' incumbancy of the position has shown absolutely no practical interest in our people, not even to the extent of arising in his seat and rebuking Tillman and other foul-mouthed senators whose vile abuse of our people is notoriously shameful, and the election of the Afro-American candidate for the legislature who was so generally regarded by our people as unfit for the position that they scratched his name from the ticket to the extent of causing him to receive a plurality fully 4,000 votes less than that given the head of the ticket, over 7,000 votes less than that given the leading republican candidate in this county—Mr. Baehr, and from 700 to about 1,300 less than that given his associate candidates for membership in the same body. This is a rebuke to the republican managers of local politics who forced him upon the ticket in defiance to the wishes of his own people of this community, that ought to and doubtless will be heeded in the future. Had the results of the local election been closer, which would have been the case without the support of the Catholic democrats, it is not difficult to figure out what would have been the result in Eubanks' case, to say the least. IS BOOKER WASHINGTON CRAZY On his recent return from Europe and at a reception tendered him in New York at one of the churches, Booker T. Washington, in the course of a speech, said: "I desire to impress upon my people a fact which I fear we appreciate too lightly, that in all the world there is not the opportunity afforded us that there is in this country. WE HAVE NO REASON FOR COMPLAINT. IF WE DO NOT GET ON, THE FAULT IS WITH US, NOT WITH THE WHITE MAN!" How in the name of all that is good and holy Booker Washington can say that our people "HAVE NO REASON FOR COMPLAINT" and intimate that they have not almost insurmountable barriers to climb in their effort to "get on," is more than we care to attempt to explain at this time. If mob violence, and lynching, disfranchisement, the "Jim Crow" car system and the thousand and one color-lines that our people bump up against daily throughout the country, in their effort to "get on," are not "good reasons for complaint," we would like to know what are. A vast majority of the opportunities to make a living and enjoy life, are closed tightly to the Afro-American. Booker T. Washington must know this and does know it. Yet in the face of the fact, he has the supreme nerve and gall in his effort to play to white galleries to say through the Associated Press to the people of the country that "WE HAVE NO REASON FOR COMPLAINT." Also "IF WE DO NOT GET ON THE FAULT IS WITH US, NOT WITH THE WHITE MAN." This is so palpably untrue that we cannot, for the life of us, understand how even Booker Washington can muster up nerve enough to say it. It is, however, paralleled only by his own infamous declaration that "EVERY REVISED CONSTITUTION THROUGHOUT THE SOUTHERN STATES HAS PUT A PREMIUM UPON INTELLI- GENCE, OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY, THRIFT AND CHARACTER." This, we presume, by the incorporation in the revised constitutions of southern states, of disfranchisement acts, laws favoring peonage, "Jim Crow" cars (both railroad and street cars), and the thousand and one other local discriminations against our people which characterize almost every southern and many northern communities. Is the man going crazy in his effort to cater to southern whites and their northern white allies?

Herrick Gets Probably the Largest Plurality Ever Given to an Ohio Candidate for Governor. Tammany Wins in New York City----Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Iowa are Republican----Democrats Successful in Kentucky and Maryland. Columbus, Nov. 4.—The democratic state committee is giving out no statements. The republican state committee at 10:30 p. m., through Chairman Dick, announced that the plurality for Herrick over Johnson for governor would exceed any plurality ever given a governor in Ohio and that the republican majority on joint ballot in the legislature for the re-election of Senator Hanna would be over 100. Ohio has exceeded 100,000 plurality only twice. In 1863 John Brough, republican, was elected governor by 101,098, when his democratic opponent, Clement L. Vallandingham, was an exile in Canada and the soldiers were voting outside the state. The only other time when the plurality exceeded 100,000 in Ohio was in 1894 for secretary of state. Cleveland, Nov. 5.—Herrick carried Cuyahoga county by 8,520 plurality. The republican legislative ticket went through by pluralities averaging 5,600, while the entire republican county ticket was elected. Toledo, Nov. 4.—Fifty-four precincts out of 102 in this city give Herrick 5,398, Johnson 3,833, indicating a plurality of 3,100 for Herrick in the county. Dayton, Nov. 4.—Montgomery county makes a clean sweep for Myron T. Herrick, and the legislative ticket by about 4,000 majority. The entire republican ticket is elected by a majority ranging from 2,000 to 4,000. Lima, Nev. 4.—Fifteen precincts out of 37 give Johnson 152 plurality over Herrick. Owing to the redistricting of the precincts comparison cannot be made with previous years. Akron, Nov. 4.—Seventeen precincts in city and county give Herrick 1,738 and Johnson 1,065. The tickets were nearly 'all straight, indicating a republican victory for the entire ticket by good majorities. Canton, Nov. 4.—Republicans carry Canton by about 2,000. Stark county by 3,500 to 4,000. All republican candidates for legislature are elected. Steubenville, Nov. 4.—Weems, republican candidate for congress in the Sixteenth district, elected by 6,000 majority. Springfield, Nov. 4.—Total vote: Herrick 4,077, Johnson 2,723. This shows a gain of 400 in the city over the vote last fall. Norwalk, Nov. 4.—Norwalk city gives Herrick 1,120, Johnson 639. Last year Laylin, republican, has 1,006, Bigelow, democrat, 574. Piqua, Nov. 4.—Miami county gives O. E. Harrison, republican candidate for state senator, a plurality of 2,058, which assures his re-election by probably 100. Estimated vote in Shelby county is 1,200 and Darke about 800. Herrick carries the city by 504. Cincinnati, Nov. 5.—The vote complete in Hamilton county for governor stands: Herrick 52,627, Johnson 22,719, Cowen 4,467. Herrick's plurality 29,908. This was exceeded by only two republican candidates—Weidner for clerk of the common pleas court, whose plurality is 30,044; and Swing for judge of the common pleas court, whose plurality is 30,136. Complete returns from the city of Cincinnati give Herrick 44,149, Johnson 17,335, a plurality for Herrick of 26,614, making a republican gain of over 11,000. Findlay, Nov. 4.—It is now safe to predict the election of the entire republican county ticket. There are still several precincts to be heard from, but they cannot materially change results. Youngstown, Nov. 4.—Youngstown complete gives Herrick 4,375, Johnson 3,209. Columbus, Nov. 5.—The republican plurality in Ohio is about 115,000 for governor and the majority in the legislature on joint ballot for senator is 93. Chairman Dick, of the republican state committee, secured reports yesterday from all his 88 county committees and last night announced that Herrick, republican, had carried 62 counties and Johnson, democrat, 26, most of the latter by small and the former by large pluralities. On a total vote of less than 900,000, Herrick's pluralities in the counties aggregate 135,132 and Johnson's 20,476, so that Herrick has a net plurality in the state of 114,706, according to estimates that may be increased from 1,000 to 2,000 by the official count. The plurality on the rest of the republican state ticket will likely be from 4,000 to 5,000 less than that for Herrick. The total vote for Johnson was less than that for any democratic candidate for governor for years. On the legislative ticket the democrats carried four less counties than for governor. Of the senatorial districts, the democrats carried only the Thirty-second, Thirty-first, Twenty-eighth and Seventeenth. The senate stands 29 republicans and four democrats. The house stands 89 republicans and 21 democrats. The majority on joint ballot for the re-election of Senator Hanna will be 93. These figures will not be changed by the official returns. the counties carried by the democrats were all in the rural districts. The republicans carried every county that they had two years ago except Sandusky, which is strongly democratic. Secretary Richardson, of the democratic state committee, said that the result in his opinion was due to the fear of single tax and two cent fare. 'These two things cost the ticket thousands of votes all over the state. The voters were afraid of the two-cent fare proposition and argued that to reduce the railroad fare would be to force a reduction in the wages of the railroad workers." Columbus, Nov. 5.—Returns from a majority of the precincts in Franklin county show the election of the entire republican ticket, including four members of the house, with the exception of Sims, for sheriff, who is defeated by Karb, democrat, by 400 to 500. The republican majorities range from about 3,000 for Herrick to several hundred for Wickham, candidate for recorder. NEW YORK New York, Nov. 5.—George B. McClellan, democrat, will be the next mayor of Greater New York, having defeated Mayor Low for re-election by a plurality of 63,617, complete unofficial returns having been received from every election district in the city. By the same returns Comptroller Edward M. Grout and Charles V. Fornes, president of the board of aldermen, running for re-election on the democratic ticket, though elected two years ago as fusionists, defeated their fusion opponents by 66,790 and 64,973 plurality respectively, Grout leading the city ticket. The sweeping democratic victory was accomplished for the democratic city and borough tickets in four of the five boroughs of the municipality, only Richmond borough, (Staten Island) giving Low a plurality and electing fusion borough officers. William S. Devery, independent candidate for mayor, polled only 2,935 votes in the entire city. New York state gave a majority of nearly 250,000 in favor of the proposition that the state shall spend $101,000,000 for improving its canals. The plan is to widen and deepen the Erie canal so that it will accommodate barges of 1,000 tons carrying capacity, and to improve the Oswego and Champlain canals. NEW JERSEY Trenton, Nov. 5.—Revised returns from New Jersey show that the republicans carried Middlesex county for both senator and assemblymen. This will make the senate stand 14 republicans to seven democrats, the same as last year's representation. The gain of three assemblymen by the democrats in Union county is offset by losses in other counties. The representation in the house next year will be the same as last year—38 republicans and 22 democrats. VIRGINIA. Richmond, Nov. 4.—The elections in Virginia, which was for members of the assembly, have resulted in a democratic sweep of the state. There were few contests, the field as a rule being left open to the democrats. Two surprises appeared, however, in the defeat of the democratic nominess in Botetourt and Fredericksburg. The vote generally was light, being in Richmond city, for example, only about 25 per cent. of the registration. A fierce fight between democrats, one with and the other without the endorsement of the state committee for the treasurership of Henrico county, was a feature of the ejection and led to a heavy vote in that county. The indications favor the election of the man without the endorsement. KENTUCKY. Louisville, Nov. 5.—Returns which are complete save for a few scattered precincts in remote parts of the state, give John C. W. Beckham, democrat, for governor, a majority of 30.408 over Morris B. Belknap, his republican opponent. The missing precincts are both republican and democratic strongholds, yet the assertion seems warranted that the governor's final and official majority will be not less than 25,000. This is the largest majority given a democrat gubernatorial candidate in 15 years. NEBRASKA Omaha, Nov. 5.—Returns show that Barnes (republican) for supreme judge will have a majority of at least 8,000 over Judge Sullivan. The republican candidates for state university regents, Allen and Whitmore, are also elected by a good majority. PENNSYLVANIA. Philadelphia, Nov. 5.—Latest estimates from the country districts indicate that the republican state ticket will have majorities ranging from 225,000 to 230,000. William P. Snyder, for auditor general, has run slightly behind William L. Mathues for state treasurer, while Morrison and Henderson, who were chosen superior court judges, polled a vote almost equal to that of Mathues. Pittsburg, Nov. 5.—Allegheny county with 10 districts to hear from gives Mathues, republican, for state treasurer 71,650; Ill., democrat, 20,468. The balance of the state ticket will run closely with the leaders. The county fight between the republicans and the citizens' (republican-democrat fusion) was hotly contested. The citizens were again successful in the cities, but by greatly reduced majorities. The country districts, however, voted the republican ticket heavily and the republicans elect their county ticket by majorities ranging between 1,000 and 1,500. RHODE ISLAND Providence, Nov. 5.—Complete returns from the 152 districts of the state re-elect Gov. L. F. C. Garvin by 1,587 plurality, a decrease of 6,151 votes. The senate, including Lieut. Gov. Elect Utter, will stand 28 to 11 in favor of the republicans, while the lower house will consist of 39 republicans and 23 democrats. The republicans elect the entire state ticket with the exception of governor. MASSACHUSETTS. Boston, Nov. 4.—Although somewhat pushed by the exertions of their opponents, the republicans in this state yesterday re-elected Gov. John L. Bates by practically the same plurality as last year. The rest of the state ticket was also elected. IOWA Des Moines, Nov. 5.—Returns keep coming in very slowly, but from those at hand Goy. Cummins' plurality will be cut from 83,000 two years ago to 80,000. The democrat have made decided gains in the legislative districts and for the first time in many years the number of democrats will be over 20 and possibly 30. COLORADO. Denver, Nov. 5.—The latest returns from the election in Colorado show that the plurality for Campbell, republican, over Wilson, democrat, for the justice of the supreme court will not be far from 7,000. Wilson carried only 11 of the 69 counties in the state, his only large plurality being in Denver, which he carried by 5,300. MARYLAND. Baltimore, Nov. 5. At midnight the returns of Tuesday's election received from Baltimore city and the state of Maryland had not all been received. Two missing precincts in the city had been counted by the election judges, but owing to the long vigil of the clerical force in the office of the supervisors of election it was decided to close the office. The figures of the missing precincts are promised tomorrow. They will not materially change the result. In Baltimore city the entire democratic state ticket was elected by about 5,000 plurality. The returns from all the counties of the state have not been received, but enough reports are on hand to assure an overwhelming democratic majority on joint ballot in the general assembly, which elects a successor to United States Senator McComas. MISSISSIPPI Jackson, Nov. 4.—The vote in the state in yesterday's election was light. The democratic ticket headed by James Vardman for governor was elected, there being no opposition.

OUR SCHOOLS. They are Attended by More Than 18,000,000 Persons Washington, Nov. 5.—The report of the commissioner of education for the last fiscal year places the total number of pupils enrolled in the common schools during the year at 15,925,887, or over 20 per cent. of the entire population. The average daily attendance for 1902 was 10,999,273, being 69 per cent. of the total number enrolled. This is the largest average attendance on the number enrolled ever reported in the United States. The actual average number of days attended by each pupil enrolled reached 100 days, which was 22 days in excess of that of 1870. The school term for the first time in the history of the United States reached 145 days. The average monthly wages of teachers for 1902 was $49 for males and about $40 for females. Less than 28 per cent. of the teachers were males, or 122,392, out of a total of 439,596. The total enrollment for the year, including public and private, elementary, secondary and higher education was 17,400,000 pupils and to this there should be an addition made for evening schools, business schools, private kindergarten, Indian schools, state schools for defectives, orphans, etc., 620,840, making a grand total of 18,080,840 in general and special schools. Killed His Wife and Suicided Killed His Wife and Suicided. Norwich, N. Y., Nov. 4.—Calvin E. Wade, a prominent farmer of Chenango county, on Tuesday shot his wife and then killed himself. Wade had been vainly trying to drive a hog through a gate and had chased it about until he was out of breath and out of temper. Finally he ran into the house and got his gun, declaring he would kill the animal. His wife laughed at him. Quick as a flash he whirled about and fired at her. She dropped as if dead. Realizing what he had done, Wade placed the muzzle of the gun to his own head and with the other barrel killed himself. His wife died shortly afterwards. Two Men Killed in an Election Row. Candidate Shot an Election Judge. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 4.—In a pistol duel in the voting place of the Thirty-ninth precinct of the Eleventh ward Tom Kiley, the democratic judge, was yesterday shot through the head and probably fatally wounded by Jacob Krieger, the republican sheriff. William Stevens, the republican judge, was crossing the street to enter the polls, when Kiley opened fire on him. Jacob Krieger, who was inside the voting place, says he believed that Stevens' life was about to be taken and he opened fire on Kiley. Kreiger was subsequently released on $500 bail. Russia Threatens: Tokio, Nov. 5.—Reports from Pekin say Russia now threatens to assume sole charge of the government of Manchuria unless China promptly dismisses Yuen, the taotai of Mukden, and decapitates another mandarin who recently punished disorderly Chinese bandits in Russian employ. This, together with the confirmation of the reports of the reoccupation of Mukden by the Russians and the seizure of Gov. Tszang causes intense indignation here, as not conforming with Russia's pacific declarations. Mrs. Hendricks Dies. Indianapolis, Nov. 4—Mrs. Eliza C. Hendricks, the widow of Vice President Thomas A. Hendricks, died at her home in this city Tuesday. She was stricken with paralysis three weeks ago. Mrs. Hendricks was born in North Bend, O., in 1823.

The "landslide" was all that saved them THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1903. church held its regular business meeting. The ten tribes were re-organized with two additional ones. Since the great struggle in June when the entire church indebtedness was liquidated by the ten tribes, there have been thirty accessions. Thus two more tribes of 15 members each were organized.

Bailey's discourse Sunday morning was as usual an able one and was well received and appreciated by a large and attentive audience. The evening was devoted to a song and praise service and communion.

Washington's position is too clear to admit of a misunderstanding. We have stated it in former issues of this paper, but "lest we forget" we repeat it. Mr. Washington says: "EVERY REVISED CONSTITUTION THROUGHOUT THE SOUTHERN STATES HAS PUT A PREMIUM UPON INTELLIGENCE, OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY, THRIFT AND CHARACTER." The revised constitutions of seven southern states, disfranchise nearly all the Negro voters. We find many of Mr. Washington's most ardent and enthusiastic supporters clamoring for the wiping out of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Federal Constitution. When once a majority of the people of the United States subscribes to or indorses the "revised constitutions" of the southern states, the Negro, regardless of his capability, will become practically a slave—disfranchised beyond recall. Mr. Washington knows this, as well also as does every thinking white man and Negro in this country. Coraopolis, Pa., Notes.

Hinton, Ky., Nov. 2.—For over two years, two of the best physicians in this part of the State have been treating Mr. E. J. Thompson, a popular local school teacher, for Diabetes. They told him that but little could be done to help him. He made up his mind to try a new remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and says:— "They saved me when the doctors held out no hope. I took, in all, about ten boxes. I will always praise Dodd's Kidney Pills for the great good they have done for me." Many people, and some physicians, still persist in the belief that Diabetes is an incurable disease. Our teacher, Mr. Thompson, says it is curable, for Dodd's Kidney Pills cured him after two good physicians had treated him for two years without success. A remedy that will cure Diabetes will surely cure any case of Kidney Trouble. A dumb-waiter can't talk, but neither, for that matter, can a speaking-tube.—Philadelphia Record.

Six Men Blown to Pieces at Iona Island, N. Y. Three Shell Houses Destroyed-Catastrophe Occurred While the Men Were Drawing Charges from Shells Sent to the Arsenal from a Battleship. Iona Island, N. Y., Nov. 5.—Six men were killed and ten slightly injured Wednesday afternoon by an explosion at the United States naval arsenal, one of the largest magazines in the United States, which is located here. The explosion occurred while men were drawing the explosive charges from a consignment of old shells recently sent here from the battleship Massachusetts. Three massive shell houses were completely destroyed and a rain of fragments of projectiles of all sizes was scattered in every direction. The force of the explosions, or series of explosions, broke windows at Peekskill, three miles below on the opposite side of the Hudson, and the detonation was heard for many miles. The dead, all of whom were workmen employed by the naval ordnance department are: Fred Ward, Stony Point. George Morehead, Tompkins Cove. Fred O. Locke, Peekskill. Patrick Curran, West Haverstraw. Fred Brown, Haverstraw. James Connolly, Peekskill. The bodies were frightfully mangled, fragments being hurled for hundreds of feet. The island, which has been used as an arsenal for a year, is in the Hudson river, 40 miles from New York, and shells and ammunition of all kinds were stored there. The detonation of part of the charge of a shell being unloaded in shell house No. 1 exploded all the other shells in the house and fragments of shells were driven into the adjoining houses and exploded their contents. There were two main explosions, with an interval of several minutes between, and a succession of minor ones as individual shells went off. Fire followed and for several hours the marines fought the flames in imminent danger from a constantly exploding shells. About 480 thirteen-inch shells were on hand, it is said. A large amount of fixed ammunition stores in two buildings from which the roofs were blown did not explode and the two main powder magazines were at the other end of the island, out of danger. ISTHMIAN CRISIS A Colombian Gunboat Fired a Few Shells Into Panama and Then Retired-Fifty American Marines Were Landed at Colon. Colon, Colombia, Nov. 5.—Gen. Cuadros, the prefect of Colon, and the senior officer commanding the troops which arrived Tuesday on the gunboat Cartagena from Savanilla, are maintaining their position of refusing to acknowledge the authority of the provisional government of Panama and the troops refuse to return to Savanilla. The lives of the American residents are threatened. American and foreign families are flocking for shelter to the railroad buildings. There is great commotion here. The United States gunboat Nashville has landed about 50 blue jackets and a quantity of ammunition. Panama, Nov. 5.—While Dr. Amador was in conference with government generals, the officer who is second in command of the government warship Bogota seet an ultimatum to the revolutionists, giving them three hours in which to restore the Colombian government, the time to expire at 10 p.m. Tuesday, but before receiving an answer the Bogota began a bombardment of Panama. Her fire was answered by the guns of the town forts and by those of the gunboat Padilla, which had declared in favor of the revolution. Shortly afterwards the Bogota left the bay. The cause of the revolution may be briefly summed up as being the result of the action of the congress of Colombia at Bogota in rejecting the Hay-Herran canal treaty. The Panama people are almost to a man in favor of the construction of the canal by the United States, and it had repeatedly been prophesied before and after the meeting of congress that Panama would secede if the treaty was rejected and would probably come to terms with the United States for the building of the great isthmian waterway. Washington, Nov. 5. President Roosevelt's message to the extra session of congress will not be transmitted to that body until Tuesday, the second day of the session. The message is a brief one, containing about 1,000 words, and deals exclusively with the necessity of Cuban reciprocity. The first day of the extra session will be devoted to the organization of the two houses. Kansas City, Nov. 5.—One person was killed outright and 51 others injured, two of them perhaps fatally, in the collision of two cable cars in a fog early yesterday on the steep Twelfth street viaduct. Most of the injured were shop girls on their way from their homes in Kansas City, Kan., to the big department stores on the Missouri side. Sulcided on His Wedding Day. Philadelphia, Nov. 5.—"Tell Lillie she will find my dead body in the bath room, and notify Worthington that he need not send me cab, as there will be no wedding tonight." Haivng written the above on a piece of paper and placed it under the front door of his newly furnished house yesterday, William Warren, aged 45 years, a newspaper man of Chester, went to the bath room and blew out his brains with a revolver. Warren was to have been married to Miss Lillian Robertson, of this city, last night. Blamed the Flagman. Trenton, N. J., Nov. 5.—The coroner's jury which investigated the accident at Washington's Crossing, on the Belvidere division of the Pennsylvania railroad on October 17, which resulted in the death of 17 men and injuring 40 more, rendered a verdict yesterday, placing the blame on Jacob Saums, flagman of the wrecked work train, for not having gone back a sufficient distance to warn the train. The conductors of both trains were censured for not having warned the engineer of the second train that the first train would stop at Washington's Crossing. How a Farmer was freed from Misery Riches of South Dakota More than 60,000,000 bushels of corn, more than 50,000,000 bushels of wheat, live stock to the value of $32,000,000, hay to the value of $12,000,000, and products of the mines above $12,000,000 are some of the returns from South Dakota for 1903. With a population of 450,000 and the production of new wealth for 1903 above $146,000,000 it can be readily understood why South Dakota people are prosperous and happy. For them the horn of plenty has been turned upside down. This year for the sixth consecutive time South Dakota leads all other states in the production of per capita wealth. Why don't you go there and better your condition? From Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Minneapolis, and from many other points in Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa and Missouri, direct service to South Dakota is offered via the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Its main lines and branch lines fairly gridiron the rich agricultural and stock country that lies east of the Missouri River in South Dakota. Its mileage in South Dakota is more than 1,200 miles, and by the building of extensions is being rapidly increased. Some of the best opportunities for success are in the territory of these new lines, but the railway company has no farm lands for sale or for rent. If you are interested, it is worth while to write today for a new book on South Dakota. F. A. MILLER, General Passenger Agent, Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway, Chicago ORTHY of a higher recommendation than I can find words to express." This is what Mr. J. H. Plangman (of Sherman, Tex) says of Doan's Kidney Pills. He ORTHA of a higher recommendation than I can find words to express." This is what Mr. J. H. Plangman (of Sherman, Tex) says of Doan's Kidney Pills. He tells his experience in the following words: He says, "Sometime in September I was taken with a dull aching pain across the small of my back, directly over the kidneys. I paid small attention to this at first, thinking it would pass off. But instead of getting better it became worse and in a short time the pain centered through my left hip and down my left leg as far as the knee." This is precisely what kidney trouble will do with the body. T It does not always show itself at first, but appears just in this way, when some unusual movement or action brings sharp pains and exhaustive aches, telling of sick kidneys. So Mr. Plangman's experience bore this out. Continuing, he says: "I did not know the cause of the trouble, but I am led to believe now that it was first brought about by jumping in and out of the wagon and in some way I may have strained my back. "I was constantly growing worse," he continues, "and I became very much alarmed about my condition. I knew that something had to be done or serious results were sure to follow. I went to a specialist here in Sherman, and underwent a rigid examination." Then he relates how the doctor told him that it was a serious case, but that he could cure him for fifty dollars.
