SUPPLIER OF THE TRADE COUNCIL CLEVELAND 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. 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. President Roosevelt or a democrat will be the next president of the United States. The Hanna talk is nonsense. Ohio's junior senator could neither be nominated nor elected. He could not get a solid delegation from Ohio. Roosevelt will be nominated and elected. This much the masses of the people of this country have decided upon, corporations and trusts to the contrary, notwithstanding. According to President Roosevelt Booker T. Washington has been "dabbling" in the politics of the south to the extent of helping a republican administration turn down the organization and other life-time, deserving and competent republicans in favor of "commercial democrats" and "republican" renegades, mostly white. And all this, to please the unreasonable prejudiced democrats of that section. Both the president and Booker could be in better business. So the pupils of Booker Washington's school at Tuskegee, Ala., have been in open revolt because of the change in program which required more work and less study. It seems that the old order of things gave such little time for study that it hardly netted sufficient intellectual results to enable the students to pursue the study of trades with profit. It is said that many members of the faculty realized this fact but were too afraid of dismissal to take a stand in the students' favor. Well! Well! This hardly seems credible. And yet if true, ought not to be surprising. Those white officers of the twenty-fourth regiment at Fort Missoula, Montana, who prevented their Afro-American soldiers from tendering a reception to their brother soldier, Sergeant Hawkins, the champion rifle shot of the army, on his recent return from the east where he won such exceptional victories in the regular yearly contests, ought to be cashiered and drummed out of the army. Individuals with such an abnormal amount of petty, jealous prejudice, cannot have aught else than a tissue-paper brain and are incapable of making officers of any army, to say nothing of being gentlemen. No where else in the world could such an exposition have taken place. It ought to be signally rebuked from headquarters at Washington. Won't some one call the president's attention to it? The Hawaiian congress delegate and wife, Prince and Princess J. K. Kliiananianole, who were ordered out of a Columbus, Ohio, theater box last week Thursday evening, after coming all the way from their little island home in the Pacific ocean to help Hanna in the recent campaign, and in spite of the fact that Hanna's man Dick was also occupying at the time a box in the theater to which he had in vain invited the prince and princess earlier in the day, can now more fully appreciate what it means to be American citizens of color. Ohio has a civil rights' law, the passage of which the writer secured in 1894, which affords the prince and princess redress in the courts. Hanna and Dick should have so informed them and should see to it that their citizen rights in a public place of amusement, are vindicated. Will they do it? The Cleveland Gazette uses a quotation from The Age in the following manner: "But President McKinley was influenced in his course by the corporate interests (through Senator M. A. Hanna)." Now, we did not use the parenthesis nor the name of Senator Hanna in the quotation. If The Gazette wished to lug Senator Hanna into the quotation why did it not use brackets instead of parenthesis marks? When we have reason to criticise Senator Hanna we shall do so, and there is no reason why The Gazette should do it for us.—New York Age. "We "lugged" Hanna in because it was the proper thing to do, and right. Also because it was clearly evident that our esteemed conferee ought to have done so in his editorial note but hadn't the courage. The failure to use "brackets" instead of parenthesis, was an oversight of our own and is not of such serious consequence to any but one who is trimming his political sails so as to curry favor with Hanna, the idol of the lily-white republicans of the south, and his "corporate" friends, to cause such an affected show of injured political innocence. O! no you won't and don't "criticise Senator Hanna" when you "have reason to do so," and that is the very "reason why The Gazette should do it" for you. The Lord knows loyal THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1903. and fearless Afro-Americans have plenty of reason to criticise him not only for the reason indicated by those terrible (?) parenthesis our confrence so strongly objects to but also because of many injurious thrusts Hanna has given the race, as McKinley's chief advisor and as chairman of the national republican committee. Can it be as the Chicago Conservator has repeatedly said, that The Age has lost much if not all of the manly courage, race love and advocacy, it exhibited in years gone by? No one, except possibly the editor of The Age, fails to recognize Hanna as the most conspicuous and acknowledged representative in public affairs of the "corporate interests" of the country; indeed ever since the first McKinley campaign. Those of us here at Hanna's home who know him far better than does The Age, also know of his vast financial interests in dozens of corporations. Therefore the man who represented "the corporate interests" at the McKinley administration headquarters and who was also the latter's "dictator," can be guessed without much effort. When The Age's editor "roasted" Hanna sometime ago for the appointment of John G. Capers, a South Carolina democrat, to membership in the national republican committee, thereby making it impossible for that state's republican committee to elect an Afro-American to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Webster's death, we had some hopes that the editor was regaining lost courage, race love, etc., but it seems, we were mistaken. pains us beyond measure, to see a once strong race defender persisting in "going wrong." Come back! Timothy, come back. BEN TILLMAN. While "lecturing" in this city last Tuesday evening, "getting off" the same old diatribe against the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution and our people of the south particularly, foul-mouthed, one-eyed Ben Tillman, U. S. senator from South Carolina, was asked by one of the Catholic club's audience at St. Patrick's church hall: "What do you ...ink is the proper relation for the Negro to live in with the whites?" This was his answer: "I would extend to the Negro every liberty and every privilege given to the white man except a participation in government." This was about the only new feature of his "lecture," socalled, and is somewhat of a surprise to many—not those, however, who know Ben. The fact is he did not by any means, mean what he said, as nearly all his talks and newspaper interviews in the past, prove. The reply was only intended to help make northern converts to his appeal for the repeal of the fifteenth amendment. Too often has Tillman indorsed not only disfranchisement but also the "Jim Crow" car system, mob violence and the many other southern discriminations against other rights and privileges of our people, to fool any thoughtful or intelligent American with such a "jolly." It was hard for us to believe that there was an organization in Cleveland, especially a church club, that would extend an invitation to lecture to so notoriously vile an individual. WHITE WOMAN IN THE TOILS. At Covington, Tenn., a few weeks ago, a prominent white citizen died. His wife, a lady of high standing and respectability claimed the estate. She had all along ranked with the best and moved in the first circles. Her absolute identity with the white race was never called in question. That she was a pure Caucasian lady was never doubted. But she becomes heir to a vast wealth, and on account of which interested relatives now busy themselves to prove that the woman has Negro blood in her veins. During all the years of family life there has been the most friendly social relations. Not a whisper has disturbed the harmony of the intercourse that reigned in the community. Indeed this wife was received as the favored and welcome guest in every home. How unreasonable to believe that designing villiany could for a moment conceive the idea of a connivance so base and despicable. Not even the slightest suspicion had awakened the remotest dream that some day would disclose the motive power now actuating the hearts of relatives and friends. But the awful moment came and she who once reigned as queen of the home circle finds herself a poor and forsaken defendant against those who would now demean her as being the child of mixed blood. Of course of whatever birth is no crime. It should not therefore impair the validity of a claim to property. Passing strange that a possible incident should afford a pretext for one race to construe a mere opinion to its own advantage. The wife and now widowed mother, once the joy and comfort of a bright and charming home is alienated and disowned only that she may be dispossessed of a rich inheritance. There is no clue to a fact that the woman is the child of a colored mother. But dark conspiracy lends villainous hand to derive an innocent white woman of her just title. Seeing the opportunity in a time rife with the spirit of a growing animosity against any one holding identity with the unfortunate and despised race, it seizes the advantage to appropriate the wealth to its own ambitious and selfish ends. A cruel and heartless avarice impels the deed and dares to invade the sacred prerogatives of its own race and kind only to gratify an unholy greed. To all intents and purposes, this Covington woman is and has been known only as a white person yet to win in suit, bad men resort to desperate means. It is a desperate pretext to which bad men resort to win in an extreme case. The method of degrading the African name has succeeded and it only remains now to make this method a means to defeat those whom they would, and deprive them of their rightful heritage. They feel no scruples in their indiscriminate assault upon wronged innocence. Gradually our country is nearing a point in its history when all men, irrespective of races, shall for the love of filthy lure make victim the one as the other, unless indeed there shall be a growing sentiment of love and justice for humanity's cause. A SHORT MESSAGE. President Roosevelt Forwards One to Congress. He Wants a Reciprocity Treaty With Cuba Approved - It Will Open a Large Market to Our Products and Benefit Both Americans and Cubans. Washington, Nov. 10.—The following is the message of the president to the extraordinary session of congress: To the Senate and House of Representatives: I have convened the congress that it may consider the legislation necessary to put into operation the commercial treaty with Cuba, which was ratified by the senate at its last session, and subsequently by the Cuban government. I deem such legislation demanded not only by our interest but by our honor. We cannot with propriety abandon the course upon which we have so wisely embarked. When the acceptance of the Platt amendment was required from Cuba by the action of the congress of the United States this government thereby definitely committed itself to the policy of treating Cuba as occupying a unique position as regards this country. It was provided that when the island became a free and independent republic she should stand in such close relations with us as in certain respects to come within our system of international policy, and it necessarily followed that she must also to a certain degree become included within the lines of our economic policy. Situated as Cuba is it would not be possible for this country to permit the strategic abuse of the island by any foreign military power. It is for this reason that certain limitations have been imposed upon her financial policy, and that naval stations have been conceded by her to the United States. The negotiations as to the details of these naval stations are on the eve of completion. They are so situated as to prevent any idea that there is the intention ever to use them against Cuba, or otherwise than for the protection of Cuba from the assaults of foreign foes, and for the better safeguarding of American interests in the waters south of us. These interests have been largely increased by the consequences of the war with Spain, and will be still further increased by the building of the isthmian canal. They are both military and economic. The granting to us by Cuba of the naval stations above alluded to is of the utmost importance from a military standpoint, and is proof of the good faith with which Cuba is treating us. Cuba has made great progress since her independence was established. She has advanced steadily in every way. She already stands high among her sister republics of the new world. She is loyally observing her obligations to us, and she is entitled to like treatment by us. The treaty submitted to you for approval secures to the United States economic advantages as great as those given to Cuba. Not an American interest is sacrificed. By the treaty a large Cuban market is secured to our producers. It is a market which lies at our doors, which is already large, which is capable of greater expansion and which is especially important to the development of our export trade. It would be indeed short-sighted for us to refuse to take advantage of such an opportunity, and to force Cuba into making arrangements with other countries to our disadvantage This reciprocity treaty stands by itself. It is demanded on considerations of broad national policy as well as by our economic interest. It will do harm to no industry. It will benefit many industries. It is in the interest of our people as a whole, both because of its importance from the broad standpoint of international policy, and because economically it intimately concerns us to develop and secure the rich Cuban market for our farmers, artisans, mechanics and manufacturers. Finally it is desirable as a guaranty of the good faith of our nation towards her young sister republic to the south, whose welfare must ever be closely bound with ours. We gave her liberty. We are knit to her by the memories of the blood and in the courage of our soldiers who fought for her in war; by the memories of the wisdom and integrity of our administrators who served her in peace and who started her so well on the difficult path of self-government. We must help her onward and upward, and in helping her we shall help ourselves. The foregoing considerations caused the negotiation of the treaty with Cuba and its ratification by the senate. They now with equal force support the legislation by the congress which by the terms of the treaty is necessary to render it operative. A failure to enact such legislation would come perilously near a repudiation of the pledged faith of the nation. I transmit herewith the treaty, as amended by the senate and ratified by the Cuban government. White House, November 10, 1903. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Italy's Finance Minister Suicides. Naples, Italy, Nov. 10.—Minister of Finance Rosano committed suicide by shooting during Sunday night. Since the formation of the new cabinet the socialists had attacked Signor Rosano, charging him with corruption during his political career, challenging him to disprove the charges and adding that otherwise they would bring the matter up at the opening of the chamber of deputies. Bridge Dealer Charged with Murder. Kansas City, Nov. 10.—Sheriff Love, of Kingfisher county, Oklahoma, created a sensation here yesterday by serving a warrant on J. W. Hoover, a prominent local business man, and agent of an Ohio bridge company, on an indictment returned in Oklahoma charging him with murder. The inductment grew out of the wreck of a bridge built by Mr. Hoover's company in which two men were killed. Mr. Hoover says he has never been in Kingfisher and his attorney has wired Gov. Dockery urging the latter to refuse to grant requisition papers. A Dentist's Crime. Saginaw, Mich., Nov. 10.—Dr. E. W.

The police are looking for Henry Thomas, alias Brock, who they say committed the crime. The deceased was 26 years old and had been drifting about the country, working at odd jobs. His body is now at Glasier's morgue. He was not a relative of the murderer. The latter, the police say, is wanted at Thomasville, Ga., for a shooting which is said to have occurred there some years ago. He has been known as a bad man around the camp. A pleasant surprise was tendered Rev. E. D. Dandridge at the parsonage last week Tuesday evening in honor of his birthday. Nearly 50 members and friends were present, mostly all young people, and all had a good time. Refreshments were served. It was given under the supervision of Misses Lydia Johnson and Mattie Curtis. Bible day exercises will be held at Shiloh after Sunday school tomorrow. Be sure to bear in mind that the Young Ladies' Loyalty club will serve a Thanksgiving dinner at the church and render a cantata, "Between the Acts," in the evening.

The "Little Black Tammany" which meets in Woodliff block and the Twelfth Ward Republican league (club) better known as the "Grafters," held a final joint meeting last week Monday evening in a room at the block mentioned above for the purpose of agreeing, if possible, upon a harmonious line of action on election day. The "Tammany" and the "Grafters" DID NOT dwell in harmony during the recent campaign and this last final effort to get them together proved no exception to the rule, it seems. According to current report, a member of the "Grafters" and an official of a church, and another official of the same church, but a member of the "Little Black Tammany," got into a wordy scrap which resulted in the latter's getting a black eye and the other fellow some slight abrasions of the skin of the face. One says that he fell out of a door and struck his eye, but there are those who laugh knowingly when this explanation of the possession of the injured optic is advanced. In spite of the fact that an exceptionally large amount of boodle was distributed pretty generally during the recent campaign, the Afro-American contingent was not made round-shouldered carrying what they got, as usual. This doubtless accounts for the sharpness of the contest between the "Tammany" and the "Grafters" and the lack of harmonious action upon the part of the two alleged republican organizations.

PANAMA REPUBLIC. It Has Been Recognized by the United States Government. Colombia Will Not Be Allowed to Attack It-Yankee Warships Arrive at Panama - Admiral Glass Will Command Our Naval Forces at the Isthmus. Washington, Nov. 7.—The events of Friday as they developed here relative to the situation on the isthmus were the recognition of the de facto government at Panama; the receipt of dispatches from Commander Hubbard, of the Nashville; the arrival in Washington of Consul General Gudger, of Panama, and the issue of orders to Admiral Coghlan to proceed forthwith to the isthmus with the consul general. Commander Hubbard cabled that the Colombian government troops under Gens. Torres and Tovar, 450 strong at Colon, had departed on a merchant vessel. He stated that the isthmus from one side to the other was in the hands of the revolutionists. This statement is of the greatest importance. The United States government being bound by treaty to maintain order and preserve free traffic across the isthmus, is now under the obligation to prevent any hostile collisions either along the line of the Panama railway or at the termini, Panama and Colon. Thus, the future attitude of the Colombian government towards the new republic of Panama becomes of little importance, for it is practically impossible for it to go to war with Panama. Officials here familiar with the country, declare that it is impossible to move a Colombian army overland to the isthmus, owing to the character of the country. Washington, Nov. 10.—Embarking of Colombian troops from Buena Ventura or any other Colombian port for the isthmus will not be permitted by the Washington government and American warships will be ordered to any port upon receipt of an intimation that Colombian troops will attempt to sail for the isthmus. The Washington government holds that this policy is in the interest of the general good. Secretary Hay, during a call at the White House yesterday placed in the hands of the president the Colombian protest against the course pursued by the Washington government on the isthmus and its attitude toward the new government of Panama. The protest came to Secretary Hay from Dr. Herran, the Colombian charge, and was duly acknowledged in a brief note. The protest is short and to the point. Washington, Nov. 11.—Upon receipt of a report by the state department that several British vessels were to be chartered by the Colombian government to take troops from Buena Ventura to the isthmus, the navy department yesterday ordered the Boston to proceed off Buena Ventura and in the event that the troops start for the isthmus their commanders will be informed that they cannot land. The navy department announces that no attempt will be made to interfere with British vessels on the high seas. The navy department is advised that Rear Admiral Glass, commanding the Pacific station, arrived at Panama yesterday with the cruiser Marblehead and the gunboat Concord, having made a quick run from Acapulco. Their consort, the monitor Wyoming, was not able to keep up with the two other vessels and probably will not reach Panama before Thursday. By virtue of his rank, Admiral Glass will have supreme command over the naval forces in the vicinity of Panama and in case of a juncture of the forces at Panama and Colon he would have command of all operations. Colon, Nov. 11.—The steam launch sent to Bocas Del Toro on Thursday last to capture that place in the name of the new republic of Panama has returned here and the officers report that the place was captured and the flag hoisted without a shot being fired. Panama, Nov. 11.—Dr. Manuel Amador, Frederico Boyd and Carlos Arosemana, left yesterday for Washington with instructions from the provisional government to negotiate canal treaty with the government of the United States. Dr. Amador is 70 years old, yet it was largely owing to his daring and great energy that the independence of the isthmus was proclaimed. Washington, Nov. 12.—The state department has received a cablegram from United States Minister Beaupre, at Bogota, dated November 9, in which the minister states that large crowds were parading the streets on the 8th inst., crying "Down with Marroquin!" There was a mass meeting denouncing the president and calling for a change of government. Hundreds gathered at the palace and the orator, a prominent general, called for the resignation of the president. The gathering was dispersed by the troops, several people being wounded, but there were no fatalities. The city was under martial law and well guarded by soldiers. The legation of the United States was under the protection of the government, but there were no indications of hostile demonstrations. M. Philippe Bunau-Varilla will be received by the president at the White House on Friday as minister plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinary of the republic of Panama to the United States. Panama, Nov. 12.—The United States gunboat Concord, which left here Tuesday, is said to be bound for Buena Ventura. The cruisers Boston and Marblehead remain here. Great Fat Stock Show.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING: New York, Nov. 14, 1902—This is to certify that I was out of work, out of money, and discouraged. I had no luck in anything I undertook. What to do I did not know. A friend advised me to go and see Dr. Shea. I went, but found that Dr. Shea was dead; but I found Dr. Shea's last good friend, the best friend I ever had. That friend was Dr. Ellarson, who took me in and treated me like a brother. Through Dr. Ellarson I got a position that very week. I had been to others. They took my money and did me no good. I bless the day I first met Dr. Ellarson. I would advise all in bad luck, sick or in trouble to go or write to 651 Fulton street to Dr. Ellarson at once and pneumonia. By Dr. Ellarson's advice we were all ill. All of these days, if any one wants to know any more come to or write to Wm. A. Cook, 1855 Third avenue, New York, Borough Manhattan. New York, March 24, 1902.—This is to certify that my husband had gone away and been away for a long time. I knew not where he was. I mourned for him night and day. I gave him a meal he desired in the wonderful things Dr. She was doing, hearing the music I found Dr. She was dead, but Dr. Ellarson was in his place, who told me my husband was alive and well and would come home in a few weeks. To my joy all of it came true. I thank God there is one in our midst who can help me so much, when they are in sore trouble of mind as I was. S. Lenhart, 1790 Third avenue. Brooklyn, May 3, 1902.—I went to Dr. Ellarson when I was so sick I thought I would die. Dr. Ellarson cured me and made me feel like a new person. I am thankful to the good spirit that led me there and to God for pointing me to such a good friend to give me such relief. Mary E. Harrison, 193 Myrtle avenue, Brooklyn, Sept. 4, 1902.—I wish to state that I was sick with my mystious disease and in great trouble and distress for long time, one seemed to understand my case, though many doctors, but none of them seemed to know what was the matter. None could do me any good. Hearing of the wonderful works being done by Dr. Shea, the last few years, I thought I would call to see him myself. I found Dr. Shea was dead and gone, but I found in his old roms, 651 Fulton street, Dr. Ellarson, a blind and sympathetic physician of wonderful insight and power, who in a short time cured me sound and well, and heartily recommend Dr. Ellarson to all those in sickness or distress of any kind. Moses Jones, 13 Camp street, Newark, N. J. Orange, N. J., Feb. 1, 1903.—My Dear Friend Dr. Ellarsson: Your welcome letter safety to hand and I hasten to answer the same. I can truly say your medicines have done me all the good in the world, and you are welcome to use my name in the paper as I want everyone to know that you have helped me so much. I cannot tell you how grateful I am and how much thank you. I was lying helpless in bed and no one could help me; until my brother went to you and got stabbing when brought me right up on my feet and going to work again. I bless God that I heard good you. From your true friend, Amelia Webb, 73 Central place, Orange, N. J. New York, Feb. 5, 1902.—Dea Dr. Ellarsson: I will pen you these few lines to let you know how much your treatment has done for me. I am without ache or pain, feeling fine. Feel like a year old girl. When I think of how long I have been before I came to you, I feel I can never tell you enough for your kindness and for what you have done for me in bringing back my health.
