All communications should be addressed: HARRY C. SMITH, Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE, Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio. Cleveland, Saturday, Dec. 17, 1904. 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. UNPARDONABLE VULGARISMS. The brain, culture and backbone of the American people are found undoubtedly with the better class. Yet it would seem that with this class, as well as with those of the lower strata, there is a disposition not only to unfair discrimination, but to underate and lower the standard of native excellence and character among Afro-Americans. Such a disposition is needless in view of the fact that the better classes have and do enjoy advantages over Afro-Americans far superior to theirs in many respects. Americans boast of their high attainments, their rare possessions in wealth and power, their improved system of free government, and their wonderful achievements in the arts and sciences. They have a thousand splendid opportunities to lead the world, for it is in evidence that upon these western shores, the most wonderful progress of any age has been made. But Americans today with all their glorious triumphs and successes betray in their education and literary training some sad vulgarisms and alarming defects in their manner of address and style of conversation. They resort to practices which ill-become them and which are not at all taught in our schools and colleges. Therefore, these practices are repulsive and unpardonable. Education means to draw out all the latent and native powers of the mind and to fit the individual for the highest and most important duties of life. But is the mind replete in erudition and learning when it is encumbered with vulgarisms unworthy a grand, and noble character? Would it be pardonable in a lord or duke or a princess or potentate of England to indulge in the use of language unbecoming the dignity of their rank? But Americans disregard their rank or standing, however exalted, only to gratify an idle and foolish prejudice. All prejudice is malicious; therefore it is unpardonable. All men, learned, or unlearned, understand the motive of design; therefore in such instances are strictly responsible for their actions. We refer now to the common and evil tendency of Americans to insult and degrade the Afro-American without cause or provocation. We refer to that ungentlemanly and ill-bred habit of wounding the sensibilities of the Afro-American regardless of his just claim to deserved respect. To speak of an Afro-American as "that darky" or "coon" is as revolting and unjust as it would be for the Afro-American to speak of a high born American as "that whity, that 'possum' or "scrub." Either case is low bred, unbecoming and utter violation of the rules of etiquette and the Golden Rule. What truly intelligent and magnanimous white man would attempt to justify the act? Yet all over this broad land, learned Americans with an air and assumed wisdom indulge in such vulgarisms even in the presence of those whom they would offend, as though they were licensed from high heaven to do the loathesome deed. Again and again the Afro-American, day in and day out, is insulted with impunity by men of the south and of the north with an ease and grace becoming their best pretensions. Let it be remembered however that few Afro-Americans would be for a moment guilty of the act. No Afro-American in his right mind would stoop to the cowardly and ungentlemanly act of imposing insult and abuse upon a weak and defenseless race. We denounce the practice as a relic of barbarism, we denounce it as an evil designer to breed mischief, and we denounce it as a gross encroachment upon the rights and liberties of the people. LET THE LOYAL SONS RALLY! The Morrell bill introduced in the house of representatives November 19, 1903, and which was referred to the committee on interstate and foreign commerce, will be a foremost and prominent measure for consideration in the present congress. The bill provides: That it shall not be lawful for any railroad company engaged in business as a common carrier in transporting passengers from one state to another to make any discrimination in the accommodation to be furnished passengers traveling from one state to another, on account of race or color, whether such discrimination be by requiring such passenger to be carried in cars specially allotted to persons of certain races or colors, or otherwise. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1904. Sec. 2. That any officer, director or employee of any such corporation who shall make, publish or undertake to enforce any rule, or any organization discriminating against such passengers, on account of race or color, shall be guilty of an offense against the laws of the United States and shall be liable to indictment in the district court of the United States for the district in which such offense is committed, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by the imposition of a fine not exceeding $5,000, or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years, or both, at the discretion of the court. Congressman Morrell, as a citizen, statesman and patriot, has a right to feel himself justly indignant that piratical clans should institute rules and regulations in any part of the United States discriminating against American citizens on account of race or color. He has a right to repel such an encroachment upon the rights of any individual exercising privileges guaranteed under the national constitution. But such regulations have been enforced by a fanatical and disloyal element, seeking to nullify the authority of our federal government. We do most gratefully commend the endeavor of Congressman Morrell and hope that every true American, every journal loyal to the principles of free government, will lend effort and service in support of the measure. It should be the ambition of every patriotic and loyal son of the republic to relieve the nation of every taint and blemish, and of every act which degrades the nobility of the people, and to wipe out every foul blot that humiliates and mars the beauty and dignity of the American name. This is the propitious moment for Americans to assert the freedom of their volition and to declare again for the liberty and the independence of a nation struggling to maintain its true integrity. The supreme court, the highest court under our government, has declared that congress has power to regulate commerce between the states and to secure to all citizens traveling between the states absolute freedom from discrimination on account of color. Especially does the supreme court forbid this kind of discriminatin so prevalent in all parts of the south. Hence we are to invoke the interposition of federal authority touching interstate travel to prevent this infamous wrong and glaring outrage upon the civil rights of the Afro-American. Faith in the growing Christian sentiment of the American people impels us to the belief that in the face of our present attitude before the civilized world, an evil so revolting and so extremely unjust will not be tolerated. The Civic club of the District of Columbia pleads the cause here espoused and invokes the active influence of Americans everywhere to aid in bringing this matter at once to the immediate attention of your congressman. To this end let signatures be secured in the several districts throughout the country urging the passage of the bill. We entreat every loyal son to be up and doing that victory and glory may crown the effort, and crown it to a glorious and signal triumph. 8. Coloridge Taylor's Itine 8. Coleridge-Taylor's Itinerancy.

Chadwick returned to Cleveland at 2:30 o'clock Wednesday. A huge crowd of curious people surrounded the train and was forced into a long lane by the police. Mrs. Chadwick was assisted from the train to a carriage in waiting by the United States deputy marshals. Her maid, Freda, walked ahead of her through the Union passenger station, while Emil, her son, tagged behind. Mrs. Chadwick was placed in a carriage and driven at once to the federal building. On reaching the federal building Mrs. Chadwick was taken to the office of the United States district clerk, where the deputies from New York made the formal transfer of their prisoner to Marshal Chandler. Shortly afterward District Attorney Sullivan saw her. The interview lasted for a moment only. Attorney Kerruish talked with Mrs. Chadwick and then she announced that she would not be arraigned Wednesday afternoon. She was accordingly taken to the county jail. Mrs. Chadwick reached the jail at 2:35. As she was helped out of the carriage in the midst of a crowd of 2,500 people the crowd began to jeer and yell. Mary MRS. CASSIE L. CHADWICK. Sheriff Barry escorted her into the women's prison and introduced 'her to the matron. Her maid followed her and dropped her mistress' wrap in cell 14. In the corridor upstairs Mrs. Chadwick fainted. Dr. Lohmann was called to attend her. The United States grand jury indicted Mrs. Chadwick, President Beckwith and Cashier Spear, of the Oberlin bank, Wednesday afternoon. There were five indictments against Mrs. Chadwick, charging her with having aided and abetted officials of a national bank to misapply the funds of the bank and with having entered into a conspiracy to commit an offense against the national banking law. There were four indictments against Beckwith and four against Spear. Two of these were for misapplying the funds of a national bank, one for certifying to a check when there were no funds in the bank, and one for conspiracy to commit an offense against the national banking laws. The jury reported just as Mrs. Chadwick's train was pulling into the Union station. Reclining on a couch in the corridor of the county jail and looking the picture of content, Mrs. Chadwick was seen by a representative of the Associated Press last night. "It seems very good to be back in Cleveland," was Mrs. Chadwick's greeting, "for now I feel that I am among my friends. I am delighted at the treatment accorded me on all sides. Sheriff Barry has been courtesy personified, and he is surrounding me with every comfort. "Let me make it plain why I do not seek bail. It is not because I cannot get it, for only to-day I received a letter from one of the wealthiest men in the country who has known me since I was 12 years old. In this letter he assured me that he would sign my bail bond for any amount. I shall refuse his kind offer, for while I am in jail I am free from the annoyance of curious people.

If you are unsuccessful in business, have bad luck, things go wrong with you, then you should consult Mrs. Marth. She will tell you what your trouble is, as she understands she still and will influence eight years helping distressed persons and has brought thousands to success.

It was Mr. Joseph Richardson, of Chicago, who was in the city last week. Mrs. John Harris, of Steubenville, visited her grandmother, Mrs. Swayne, who was quite ill. Mrs. John Mercer, of Chicago, Mrs. Manuel and James W. Carter, of Dayton, were guests of Mrs. Sadie Simmons recently. Mrs. Eubanks, sister-in-law of Henry T. Eubanks, formerly of Pine street, is critically ill with dropsy at the city hospital. She has a young daughter. The Dreher Piano Co., in The Arcade, is the oldest and best in the city. You can rely upon proper treatment, the best prices and goods there. They make you welcome. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation to attend the Bachelors' third annual reception to be given December 29, at South Side Turner hall, Pittsburg. Little Delbert, the son of Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Callahan, of Hackman street, is much improved as the result of an operation at the Cleveland General hospital last week Tuesday. Current rumor has it that F. W. King, of the firm of King & Gee, has gone to Chicago to take charge of an undertaking business there, leaving Mr. Gee in control of the local business. A Mr. Wilson, of Mt. Vernon, was in the city last week looking for a Mrs. Amy Williams who has a daughter, Miss Jennie, and who lives near one of the city parks, presumably Wade Park, he said. Those advertisers and subscribers who some days and weeks ago promised "to call," and have not yet done so will have the rest of this week in which to do so. They have doubtless forgotten their promise. The New Leonard Sofa Bed Co., so Manager S. C. Green tells us, does not longer control the property it occupies, True Reformers' hall, and the house occupied by Dr. E. M. Grant. All has passed into the hands of a "company." Cory Chapel Literary society is circulating petitions favoring the passage of the Morrell bill referred to in the editorial in this issue (on page 2) headed "Let the Loyal Sons Rally." Read it carefully and be sure to sign one of the petitions. St. Margaret's Auxiliary will hold a social at Mrs. L. H. Jones', corner of Pine street and Sterling avenue, Wednesday evening, the 21st, at 8 p. m. Admission five cents. All are invited. Miss Gladys Smith, president; Miss Mamie Wilson, secretary and Mrs. Louisa Cooper, director. The Washington (D. C.) Record, of Dec. 9 contained the following: "Mrs. Chas. W. Chesnutt, of Cleveland, was in the city last Saturday on her way home from Fayetteville, N. C., where she attended a reunion of the Perry family Thanksgiving week. Mrs. Chesnutt left for Cleveland last Saturday night." The editor of The Gazette is indebted to Ohio's senior United States senator, Judge Joseph Benson Foraker, for a splendid photograph handsomely framed and ready to hang upon the wall. Size nearly 3 feet by $2\frac{1}{2}$. The photograph is a perfect likeness of the senator and the gift is thoroughly appreciated by The Gazette. The only way you can get each week the cream of the news relative to our people in Cleveland, Ohio, and the country at large, is by taking the old reliable Gazette. This is admitted on all hands. So subscribe! A years' subscription will be a Christmas gift any of your relatives, friends and acquaintances will thoroughly appreciate. Try it. The Mohawk Realty Co. had a very small attendance at its meeting last week Thursday evening at True Reformers' hall on Cedar avenue; only about a half dozen or a dozen persons being in attendance. An effort to sell "stock" was to have been made, so its circular announced. This "stock" selling business seems to have been "worked over time" among our people here in Cleveland in the last few years. The Minerva Reading and Friday Study clubs will give a banquet at Woodliff hall, Jan. 13, in honor of Principal Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee, Ala., Normal and Industrial school, who comes to Cleveland to speak in the Jewish Temple Course of lectures, concerts, etc. The number of guests are to be limited to 125 and the admission price is $1.25. The editor of The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation to be present. Memorial post, G. A. R., No. 141 will hold a bazaar at Gray's armory from December 19 to the 23. Owing to the fact that there is a large number of our old soldiers, members of the post, the concert program Thursday evening, Dec. 22, will be given largely if not entirely by members of the race. Mrs. Anna Smith and the Empire quartette will render a soprano solo and vocal selections, respectively. Miss Emma Talbert will read and a cornet solo will be given. The Aeolian Chorus scored a distinct success at Germania hall on November 22 in the dramatic cantata, Ruth, The Moabitess," under the di- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1904. rection of Prof. J. Z. Jones (white). By special request the musical treat is to be repeated at the same hall on Tuesday evening, the 20th of this month, with the same cast of characters with the exception of one. Many people who were not, as well as all those who were present on November 22, are anxiously awaiting the repetition. As given by the Aeolian Choral society the cantata is really a grand treat. There was no meeting of the Rover Safety Rack Co. last week Thursday evening as anticipated by a few. Nearly $2,000 were sunk in this effort, one of the weakest, we ever encountered. Many still question whether C. H. Garland ever had any invention, to say nothing of a patent on the same. And then there is the alleged Douglass Automatic Straw Binder! Thousands of the hard-earned dollars of local and other Afro-Americans have "gone" to purchase "stock" in that company. What was the result? The same old outcome. Now comes "Breer Blew with his 'stock'" in spite of the fact that some people are pretty well known already in this community. The definite changes in fashion to be noted affect the bodice and sleeves, the bust being raised, the lines of the waist fitted and the shoulders wide and high. The graceful full skirt has had a long reign, and now we have as a possibility panelled skirts with short overskirts in panier style. These are, in fact, promised for spring. The dart is back again—the old-fashioned seam that runs in pairs at each side of the bodice front and fits it to the figure like a glove—as is also the princess dress, but in modified form, the latest designs showing straighter lines below the hips and the popular high sleeves, which bring the curves at the waist line into greater prominence. This season the separate wrap forms more than ever an important part of a complete outfit, and it is essential that the wrap should harmonize perfectly with the general color scheme if it does not match exactly the shade of the dress. The dolman, which found its way into favor last spring, has been given a definite place. Indeed, the big sleeve vogue, the end of which is not yet, finds use for cape and flowing sleeve effects. Even in dressy bodices is the leg-o'-mutton sleeve introduced, and the softly drawn down effects have displaced the exaggerated blouse modes formerly in vogue.—From The Delineator for January. The Bachelor Benedicts, a new social organization, is creating quite a stir. It seems there are twenty-two members and that at recent meetings they have been making preparations for a ball week after next. Members are required to submit the names of those they desire invited. Rumor has it that although Gussie Eubanks is a member of the club, the name of his step-father, Henry T. Eubanks, was blackballed when someone proposed it. Also that of Will Hunley, notwithstanding the fact that Willie Green, president of the club, is his friend. If what we hear is true this thing is going on ad infinitum. The personal of the organization is hardly such as to give it much social prestige or a very high social status although there are a number of the members who are in good standing along this line. There are, however, enough of the other sort in the club to weigh it down very considerably, from a social view-point. Quite a number of the "blue veins" have succeeded in "passing muster" with the assistance of Willie Green and a few others and are to receive invitations. One of their number said that very few, if any, would attend owing to the fact that there would be such a miscellaneous gathering in attendance. An exceedingly hot time is brewing. Additional information will be given next week in these columns. "S. A. Tan" had the following in a recent issue of the Chicago Conservator about a former Cleveland boy who for many months has been teaching music at Wilberforce college: "Harry Lawrence Freeman, of Cleveland, is in the city. Mr. Freeman is a musician, and Tan was down to hear him play. Mr. Freeman sings and plays his own music; in fact, he has composed several operas, one of which (providing he can find the talent) he proposes to put on in Chicago. It is a sacred opera entitled 'The Martyrr. Tan, in company with a few real music critics, was favored with a short recital from this opera. The music started off gently, then there was a biff! bang! br-r-r-du-lurn-dum! and a rolling sound for all the world like a flat car loaded with railroad iron and broken bottles running off down the hill. 'He certainly has technique,' whispered Tan's companion. 'Well, I should say he has,' answered Tan. 'He has technique, touchique and other iques, it would seem, from the way he goes about it.' But he is great! Take Tan's word for it, the man is simply wonderful. He plays a piano so everybody can hear it. You may not understand what he is playing, but you can hear it alright—alright! Mr. Freeman expects to remain in Chicago, and those who have heard him play and sing—those who know—insist that he is an artist of unusual merit. Tan does not attempt to gain say this; for Tan knows about as much about music as a frog does about religion. He wishes Mr. Freeman, however, a long life and a merry one." Insulted One of Our Wome There was quite a stir among the North Carolinians when it became known that Hunter Arnold had been summarily relieved of his duties as inspector of rural free delivery. Arnold, it seems, wrote a letter to the wife of an Afro-American teacher at Asheville, and the husband, feeling that his wife had been insulted and injured sent the letter to the post-office department. When asked for an explanation Arnold said that the letter had been written to a white woman but had fallen into the hands of the other by mistake. Whereupon Postmaster General Wynne, who made a personal investigation of the matter, said this was much worse than no explanation and that he must go.

Our readers can oblige us greatly by sending the address of any good person or persons in any of the cities named above or others, to whom we can write relative to the matter. Preaches to Texas White People Georgetown, Tex.—Three services were held by the central conference of the A. M. E. church. Bishop Evans Tyre preached to white people at the courthouse in the afternoon. Mrs. M. L. Jones, president of the mite missionary society, made an address, in which she appealed to the women of the race to organize a crusade against vice and the devil. She urged that the young girls be kept out of the ballroom and that social games not be allowed in Christian homes. Carnegie's $10,000 Library. Atlanta, Ga.—The financial committee of the general council voted unanimously recently to accept Andrew Carnegie's offer of $10,000 for a library building for Afro-Americans on condition that this city donate the building site and provide for the maintenance of the institution. Our people here will provide the site and the assembly voted $1,000 per year for the library's current expenses. Same Justice for Both. Charlotte, N. C.—Because her alleged partner in crime, M. W.
