COSTUMES FOR EARLY SPRING IN UNION THERE IS STRUGGLE TWENTY-FIFTH The Sea COSTUMES FOR E One of the late and sensible Parisian ideas in tailored costumes is the attaching by the tailor of a narrow belt matching the skirt to the skirt itself. Sometimes these are stitched all the way around, closing where the skirt closes under a pointed end or other suitable termination, and sometimes, but more rarely, they are fastened on one side only so that the belt may be closed in the front or at the side, while the skirt's opening is in the back. This fashion was in vogue there a year or so ago, and many women adhered to it, or their tailors did, but others who would have looked far better with it went in for belts and girdles of all sorts. Now, however, that Parisians are having the belt of the material on their smartest street costumes, one will be sure to see it here. The narrow belt of the gown material is far more becoming to the short-waisted or large-waisted person than the fancy belt, whether of leather, ribbon belting, or any of the numerous varieties that are always wider and far more clamsy. The narrow belt is so much more becoming to the slender figure, and few are so long-waisted that they need object to the narrow waistband. However, it is easy to have the belt made an inch wider, and that makes a very considerable difference in one's apparent length of waist. Of course, the extremely short-waisted person that is short-waisted in proportion to her height and width, should eschew any sort of girdle so far as possible, and the ideal finish is no visible belt, but the skirt finished so it will not stretch, and a narrow cord or straight fold not over an eighth of an inch wide at the top, this being straight. This is almost never seen, so few women have the originality and common sense to choose what is suitable. Short sleeves are still to obtain considerable favor. On walking dresses I find this a great pity, for the short sleeves in coats have my distinct and definite hatred. I realize that they spoil the outline of the figure, that they are as indiscriminately worn by the woman who has an ill-shaped arm as by the woman who has the well-shaped arm, while I am content to gloss over the fact that long gloves are among the involved essential extravagances. I am by no means satisfied that the short sleeve has any become virtue to commend it. Greek outlines are being revived, including embroidered tunics, the draped sleeve for evening wear, and the crossed and folded bodice., The empire style continues meanwhile—and I hope much longer—to enjoy generous patronage, and of the making of silver and golden trimmings duly burnished for the most part there is no end. Many of the new hats are draped with veils of plain Russian net, innocent of border or binding, and these thrown back to form a frame for the hair, must be voted infinitely attractive. Plain cloth puts a better face on it than ever, and undoubtedly by merit recalls its first position, though many shades of dull yellow and dull green Cowper's Home & Museum Cowper's Home a Museum. The home for many years of the poet Cowper at Olney, Bucks, England, has just undergone a thorough renovation conducted on reverent lines, at the hands of the trustees in whom it is vested as a museum. Previously only a part of the building was so used, but now all the rooms are reserved for the exhibition of the many interesting relics of the poet that have been presented. The museum is especially rich in manuscripts, early editions of the poems and the personal possessions THE GAZETTE are endeavoring to obtain recognition, and should not be encouraged, for they do not possess the supreme attractiveness of becomingness. A costume for immediate wear which has considerable charm is in dull blue with a long coat, cut into panels under each arm and down the center of the back, and outlined with an embroidery of dull silver cord, the panels being held together with straps of the silver. This coat, which is of full three-quarter length, hangs quite straight from the shoulders, and is turned back in front with small white silk revers traced with silver, the sleeves terminating just below the elbow and being of the Costume of Dark Blue Cloth, Trimmed with Military Braid. modified bell shape; the skirt is quite plain and short, its only adornment being a very narrow trimming of the dull silver cord about three inches from the hem. The skirts are growing narrower. The slim long outline is essential to the success of the newest cloth gown, and the skirt which touches the ground at the back is to enjoy as much popularity as the straight round skirt. The embroidered waistcoat is to have considerable influence on the spring costume, light cloth and light watered silk will be called to its service, and its most attractive shape will be that which we associate with the cavaller coat and the lace cravet and the sleeve ruffle. Waistcoats are also made of fanciful brocade, and some of tapestry are novel, while the Oriental embroideries are not banished from recognition, although they have occupied the pedestal of popular favor for some four seasons. of Cowper. The exterior of the house has also engaged attention, and now as the result of a careful study of old prints, a restoration to the appearance presented in the days of Cowper has been effected.

ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. WORKDONE! SHOWS HOW HE HAS STOOD MANY YEARS FOR THE RACE. REV. J. S. JACKSON'S TURN-DOWN—WOULD NOT REPUDIATE BRYAN STATEMENT—A HOT MEETING. Steubenville, O.—We, the colored citizens of Steubenville and Jefferson county refuse to longer be pulled around by the nose by the local organization of the Republican party. We refuse to be whipped, cajoled or clubbed into line by the big stick, or any other interest other than that which stands for the benefit of our race as well as the white. We condemn Tillmanism, Vardamanism and Brownville Big Stickism and all otherisms that would deprive the Afro-American of his rights under the amended constitution, which makes us citizens and voters and entitles us to a fair trial by a jury of peers when criminal charges are brought against us. Such in brief, are the sentiments expressed in speeches, and the resolution adopted at the mass meeting of our citizens' of this city at the court house last week Thursday night, of which B. J. Guyder was chairman and F. B. Thompson, secretary. Senator Baker was praised repeatedly by overseeing the Roe v. Wade veltism given the "hoof" about as often. The following resolution was unanimously adopted: "We, the colored voters of Stenbroughville, while we still adhere to the principles of the Republican party, wish it understood that we admire that grand patriot, statesman and soldier, Joseph Benson Foraker and commend him for his efforts for the benefit of our race. We condemn Tillman and Jordan Brownsville and all other wrongs. The race has been subjected; and we further condemn the un-Republican spirit shown by those in control of local political affairs, such as neglect in proper representation on the committees, delegations and all bodies controlled by them." Committee: B. J. Guyder, Ambrose Kent and Rev. J. S. Jackson. It was made perfectly clear that our citizens, with the position of all other wrongs, are not only opposed to the Taft candidacy but would not support him in event of his nomination, something not looked for by any person familiar with the condition of any person familiar with the conditions that were most enthusiastically received. When it came to appointing the resolution committee to appoint the president, some one inquired what had become of Rev. J. S. Jackson, who had been so active in drafting the resolutions that were approved by a local Daily Taft sheet, after that paper had the report sent to a Cincinnati daily support for Bryan in event of Taft's nomination. McCullough promptly replied that in all probability Mr. Simpson the minister off and back, was wing. Mr. Guayder came to his feet and in a speech that was approved condemned the resolutions drafted at Rev. Jackson's church. The minister arrived shortly after this and in spite of his protests. Brownsville was mentioned in the resolution. He also, proposed an amendment to the resolution into which he had formulated a denial of the Cincinnati newspaper story. Mr. Guayder made a hot speech and manifested his interest in his amendment did not meet with proval. Mr. McCullough made a motion that the minister's amendment be tabled. Rev. Jackson arose in defense, but the amendment was tabled in the snap of a finger. Thus out of the meeting of our citizens that would not endorse Taft, that declared its allegiance to Senator Foraker and that refused to deny a story sent to the Cincinnati paper placing them in the light of Bryanites, the Afro-Americans of Steubenville stand as an unknown entity so familiar to the local this fall is concerned. They have simplymitted themselves to politics that will encompass the welfare of their own race and have declared independence of Taftism and the county organization. Col. S. S. Clements of the K. of P., has sent The Gazette the following: "I saw in the last issue of the Cleveland Journal (Toilet-paper) where it referred to The Gazette in a slighting manner. One thing is sure, and that is The Gazette for nearly twenty-five years, has stood for and has always advocated the Negro cause. It has always advocated the White cause and privileges for our people. Its editor voice was heard in the legislature of the state, after that dastardly crime of lynching "Click" Mitchell at Urbana, when he forced through the anti-lynching law that has been so signally effective throughout Ohio ever since its enactment. The Ohio civil rights law is also his work. He was always fighting for his people in the legislature as he has so very effectively advocated. He has passed twenty-five years in the column of the old rebel "Gazette.

WANT SOLDIERS TO STOP And Be Entertained—Organized Effort at work >Excellent idea. Buffalo, N. Y. — Messas, Wm. H. Talbert, Wm. Bartlett and J. C. Bell constitute a citizens' committee (of our people) to invite the Twenty-fourth regiment (602 men) to make a short stop in this town on March 20 when en route east. The war department has been written to and an answer was expected in time to submit it to a meeting held at Mr. Talbert's place or business. 79 Clinton street, on Wakefield, Tenn. The of the Twenty-fourth industry was offered and helped to save Roosevelt and his Rough Riders' lives on a certain memorable occasion. The regiment left the Phillipines last month and is expected to land at Oakland, Cal., on the 15th. There will be to stop on its way east, except at Chicago. Two battalions of the regiment will be stationed at Sackett's Harbor, which will be its headquarters. The other battalion will be stationed at Fort Ontario, near Oswego. Adderman Farland has produced a resolution in the common council of the city implementing the efforts of our committee, with the war department. The Twenty-fourth, like the Twenty-fifth infantry and Ninth and Tenth cavalry, our regiments in the United States army, is noted for its bravery and more than a dozen of its men have received honorable mention from congress for conspicuous gallantry in action against the warring and trouble-tolerant tribes of the Philippine Islands ladies of the G. A. R will provide refreshments when the Twenty-fourth stops here. The war department has left the decision as to stopping here with Col. Wm. Paulding of the Twenty-fourth, from whom we expect soon to hear. ************************************************************ Miss Meta Warrick. Canton, O.—Artistic talent is not a question of sex or race it would seem, the latest evidence of this fact being the extraordinary work of Miss Meta Warrick, a young Afro-American of Philadelphia, whom, the art critics say, will bid fair to rank with the leading women sculptors of the United States. Her name is already mentioned in connection with those of H. O. Tanner, the painter, and Paul Dunbar, the poet, as eminent in our own race. Like Tanner, she does not work along conservative lines, but gets her effects in an original sort of way. She lives in Paris with Auguste Rodin, and has exhibited in the salon, and is regarded by the best critics as having talent of phenomenal kind.

In the churches, in the barber shops, in business offices, in the saloons, on the street, in the courtyards, in our mutterings against the administration at Washington. We never before heard so many Negroes swear that they will vote for Bryan if Taft is nominated. And they mean it. The common Negro is aroused. He has no hopes of office and is not for sale. He will stick to principle when the office seeker and the big Negro would readily surrender. He has declared his independence of parties. He would as soon be imposed upon by Vardaman the governor by Boeckel. In fact, he is willing to take some punishment himself in order to punish his betrayers. The spirit of political independence is in the air—Chicago Conservator. Bradford, Pa., Brevities. Rev.

His recovery after being out of the game for three years is really wonderful. Ought to Be Ashamed! Columbus, O.—The few Negroes who attended last week's Taft state convention included Geo. H. Jackson and a man named Anderson of Cincinnati Charles Cottrell of Toledo, Aleck Marlton and Tom Fitzgerald of Cleveland who be ashamed of theselves. There are not a dozen Taft Negroes in the state.

The following editorial from the Charleston (W. Va.) Advocate is not only interesting and true, but timely: "Whether or whether not one fancies and favors for the presidency Joseph B. Foraker, the sworn effort to eliminate him from public life is the shame and scandal of American politics. In many ways the senator is the leading member of his party. For 20 years he has sounded the note of the Republican campaign. Spellbinders have waited on his deliverance, nor needed further word or instructions to convince and convert the multitude. Four times the nominee of his party for governor of his state, he was twice elected. He it was who brought Ohio safely over into the Republican column; it seems that the persecution of him will swing it back to DePauw. He is not the world knows. He has adorned the high office and enriched the heritage of the American youth of to-morrow." "The Negro feels a peculiar interest in Senator Foraker's future. He has been their special friend and champion, and they understand quite well the fact that no being hunted and hooted is necessary for his independence. The fact is, he is to be driven from public life, if he is to be driven at all, simply because he demanded a fair hearing and a square deal for the discharged Negro soldiers. Time and events have vindicated his wisdom and his courage." Benjamin Evening Star, the organ of the Republican party, contained recently this significant editorial observation; Olean, N. Y., Items.

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. For President Senator J.B. Foraker What a pitiful figure, the two or three Negroes of Ohio's forty thousand Afro-American voters, cut in that Taft state convention at Columbus, last week. Point the finger of shame and scorn at them. Not one was given even a committee assignment, it is said. The Taft state "Republican" ticket, nominated at Columbus last week, has received a very chilly reception all through the state and its prospects are anything but bright, even if this is "presidential" year. All that is now needed to cause Ohio to go Democratic this fall is the nomination of either Roosevelt or Taft at Chicago this summer. The poor white lumbermen of Louisiana are trying to drive out of that state their Afro-American and foreign co-laborers. This means more trouble for the state and national governments as soon as the foreign governments are notified of the treatment of their subjects in Louisiana. It cannot come too soon, because if will prove helpful to our workmen being mistreated. Somebody, particularly Fortune's Freeman and the N. J. Age, should tell Bill Taft to give the Negro a "square deal," at least as fair as he does the south to which he continues to toady. In his discussion of disfranchisement, the "Jim Crow" car and Brownsville, he has always favored the Negro-hating south and given our people decidedly the worst of it. Even the Freeman and the Age should recognize this fact and stop "truckling." The National Cash Register Co. of Dayton has shut down, throwing three thousand employees out of work. This number includes the young white men "who could work their way up in the business" that last year replaced the eighty Afro-American janitors, some of whom had grown gray in the service of the company and, because they were not white, were never given an opportunity "to work their way up in the business." The Lord works in mysterious ways his duties to perform. The editor of the N. Y. Age in his weak effort to warm up to the alleged Taft candidacy for the Republican nomination for the presidency, is at times amusing. Some one ought to tell him the recent Ohio primary was a farce because of the insignificantly small vote cast. The Foraker Republicans refused to vote. That doubtless explains the smallness of the primary vote and also the real weakness of the alleged Taft boom in Ohio. We assure our esteemed confrere that Ohio Afro-Americans have not been and are not in the habit of making "blatant boasts." A dispatch from Washington, D. C., last week, to the daily newspapers of the country announced that a draft of the Ohio platform of the recent Taft state convention was submitted to President Roosevelt and that he had approved various planks of the same which were enumerated. No mention was made, however, of the Negro disfranchisement plank. We presume such an expression would hardly meet the approval of half-southern "Teddy" of Brownsville notoriously, or his able assistant in that matter, Mr. Taft, who so loves the south that he can find excuses for everything it does to the Negro. Last week's Taft state convention in its platform denounced as "unfair, un-American and repugnant to the supreme law of the land" the disfranchisement acts of southern states, which Secretary Taft condones and practically endorses. It doubtless had forgotten the act of the fourteen members of the state "Republican" committee which disfranchised thousands of Ohio Republicans, both colored and white, at the recent alleged state primaries, simply because they were for Senator Foraker and not for Secretary Taft. The "sop" won't be assimilated, gentlemen, rest assured of that fact. U. S. Senator-elect ex-Gov. 7. O. Bradley of Kentucky said, in an interview, last week: "Judge Taft is a man of winning personality and signal ability, and would, if elected, make a great president. But, while this is true, it seems evident that his election is by no means certain. With the labor unions and the Negores (and the Jews) against him, it is exceedingly doubtful whether he would cover the states of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, New Jersey, New York and possibly others. There can be no hope of carrying Kentucky, West Virginia and Maryland." Mr. Bradley states the facts, concisely, and they are very generally known and recognized, too, in spite of all the paid newspaper and other Taft tom-toming. When the national Republican convention meets in Chicago, this summer, it will dispose of the Taft boom so quickly by puncturing it thoroughly, that some people will get a sudden awakening that will last them a lifetime. Shouting and making a noise that was heard all through the neighborhood and the church, the members of the Christian and Missionary Alliance opened their winter convention in the chapel on E. Forty-ninth street, between Cedar and Central avenues, S. E., Sunday afternoon. Rolling over the floor and crying aloud, the members of the sect appealed that the gift of tongues be visited upon them. W. A. Cramer, the pastor, was in charge of the meeting. Preparations for the winter convention have been going on for a month. The convention will last all week.—Monday's Leader. Somebody else's religion is getting "too noisy" and "too boisterous." Somebody else is getting "very imitative" and must become "less demonstrative in serving God to show the later day culture and refinement in church circles." Isn't it really amusing how the so-called "white" people imitate some of ours? When they are dancing, they never feel that they are really having a good time until they are trying to imitate the Negro minstrel. And now, please God, they have gone to shouting so loud and long that they are "out-heroding herod" and proving a nuisance in the neighborhood. To an enquiry as to his attitude, Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Cleveland Gazette, made the following postal card reply to the editor of Fortune's Freeman: "If Taft is nominated, will not support him, as I wrote you. And I will have plenty of Afro company. Will support Democratic candidates in the election or or Taft in ours. That's the determination in Ohio. Ohio has not endorsed Taft." Now, the public prints declare that Ohio has endorsed Taft. As to Mr. Smith's attitude, we put him on record, and we shall see what we shall see. The leaders of the Republican party should be made to understand that never in the history of the party have Afro-Americans, and the whites have Afro-Americans, and the whites in opposition to any man and his diocritical policy in race matters as they are to President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft.—Fortune's Freeman. Ohio Republicans have not endorsed Taft; only an insignificantly small portion of them have done so. The rediculously low primary vote proves this statement beyond all question. As to our card to Editor Fortune: we meant and mean just what we wrote, and were "on record" along that line before Fortune's Freeman was born. We have preached that doctrine through the columns of The Gazette for many months, and last year from the rostrums of most of the cities and towns of Ohio having any considerable number of our people did the same thing, always being "cheered to the echo" by audiences that thoroughly understood what they were doing and that mean to live up to that expression when the time comes, if it ever does, and we are free to say we do not think it ever will. Taft will never be nominated for reasons so well expressed elsewhere in these columns by Senator-elect Bradley. And there are other, many additional good reasons, as the able editor of Fortune's Freeman well knows. This country, especially its mass of sensible Republicans, has had quite enough of Roosevelt, and will have none of big big, fat man, Taft. Mark our prediction! AS TO EXCLUDING DELEGATES. Persons or papers, like the Portland Oregonian, that charge only southern colored delegates to national Republican conventions with "selling out," life wilfully, knowingly and maliciously. Hundreds of poor whites have done and continue to do the same thing, and they are not all from the south, either. In recent years, very few, if any, Afro-American delegates from that section of the country were open to the charge. If Republican delegates from the south should be excluded because their states furnish no electoral votes to the party, then those in northern Democratic states must be treated likewise, and of course that will not be considered for a moment. The Republican party, and it alone, is to be blamed for the southern Afro-American's loss of vote, both because it has, and has had for years, the power to wipe out disfranchisement and has not done so, and because the Afro-American was disfranchised primarily because he was a Republican. A Republican president sworn to execute the laws, a Republican congress and a Republican U. S. supreme court have not done their duty in the matter of disfranchisement, though it is weakening the very foundation of this republic in its pernicious and successful attack upon the fundamental law of the land. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O., SATURDAY. MARCH 14. 1908. FOUR REPORTSARE SUBMITTED TO THE SENATE IN REGARD TO THE BROWNSVILLE AFFRAY. Majority Report Blames Negro Soldiers for "Shooting Up" Town, but Fails to Identify Guilty Persons. Washington, D. C.—Reports from the senate committee on military affairs were presented Wednesday in regard to the investigation of the affray at Brownville, Texas, which resulted in the discharge without honor of three companies of negro soldiers of the 10th Infantry Division time a message was received from the president calling attention to the fact that the testimony taken by the committee sustains his position in discharging the negro soldiers. He recommends extension of the time for repositionment of the discharged men with nighttime training in the terms of the order. There were four reports from the committee, the majority being signed by Senators Warren, Lodge, Warner, Dupont, Tallferro, Foster, Overman, Frazier and McCreary. A minority report was also signed. Senator Scott Southwick, Bulkeley and Hemenway. The majority report found as follows: "That in the opinion of the committee the shooting was done by some of the soldiers belonging to the Twenty-fifth infantry; that the testimony falls to identify the particular soldier or soldiers who participated in the affray. It is stated that there is considerable contradiction in the testimony, but that taken as a whole and reconvened it wherever possible it was outlined in the majority's decision." The principal minority report was presented by Senator Scott and takes the position that it was impossible to ascertain who did the shooting and makes the recommendation that the negro soldiers be restored. In addition to this minority report, Senators Foraker and Bulkley joined in a supplemental report which was presented by Senator Foraker. Foraker's report declared that the testimony of the eye-witnesses against the negro soldier was not reliable and that the wieldive for its alleged connection with the array had been shown. A supplemental report signed by Senators Warren, Lodge, Warner and Dupont declares that under the evidence it is shown that the assault was perpetrated by members of the battalion, but that it is reasonable to believe that all of the soldiers were not concerned in the commission of the crime, either as principals or accessories. They recommend that the justice team to all the innocent men the rights which had accrued to them by reason of their previous service in the army. A bill is presented authorizing the president within one year after the passage of the act to authorize the enlistment of the men whom he may be satisfied had no connection with the shooting. Senator Foraker included in his report a bill, previously introduced, which provides for the same general purpose. This bill, however, would not entitle the enlistment of any one of the discharged negroes who makes oath that he was not connected with the shooting. The Brownsville affray occurred on the night of August 13-14, 1906. The war department conducted a hurried investigation of the shooting and as a result President Roosevelt ordered discharge without honor of three companies of negro soldiers who were then stationed at Fort Brown. This government's president and its attorney general have in this their really most important sworn duty, and yet ignore it to rush off after far less important, but, in their judgment at least, more spectacular, limelight glory in their fight on corporations, etc. Returning to the matter of the purchase of southern delegates to national Republican conventions, the following editorial from the Philadelphia (Pa.) Odd Fellows' Journal is pertinent: "Now we have had some experience in politics, north as well as south, with white as well as black men, and we know as well as it is possible to know anything that the colored politician of the south is not one-tenth as well as black men in north. The corruption, bribery and theft which have been proven to have been indulged in by white men in New York and Pennsylvania have never been approached by black men in any part of the country. And the perjury, forgery and larceny committed by the heads of insurance companies and bank officials of New York and Philadelphia, to be punished by any dishonest which fourth-rate Negro criminals in the south have done. As a rule the Negro delegate from the south is not for sale and is actuated by as high and lofty purposes as is any of his fellows from other sections of the country, and to be punished by any dishonest daily seems to think that he is privileged to slander the Negro delegate from the south. It is a poor and despicable business. Many a southern white man who talks of the Negro's venality in politics, holds an office, the certificate to which was obtained through ballot box stuffing and in order to put him in charge who man who protects about our failure to live up to the expectations of our friends in the north, has his pockets stuffed with money obtained through corruption in politics, protection to vice or a huge steal such as was committed in building the state capitol at Harlem, is the average southern man is like the average delegate, no better and no worse. Some will sell out; but most of them will not." As to the "venality" editor of the Oregonian, we would call attention particularly to the following letter from an Afro-American, a resident of the state of Oregon: Bonneville, Ore., March 3, 1908. Hon. H. C. Smith, Editor The Gazette: Dear Sir—I enclose an editorial clipped from the Portland, Oregonian of Feb. 28, last. It is needless to say they are ardent admirers of Roosevelt. It would be worth a defeat to clear the party of such beings (they do not merit the name of men) who disregare the name of公爵 (the people they call to correspond what it means). Theyoady to the strong, and only understand the argument of the club. It will be a sad day for our country when such swine (I beg pardon of the hoc) can lead the people or control the government for any length of time. Senator Foraker is honored by their opposition. Yours truly. MRS. PATRICIA ROBINSON. HEAR CALL! FOR A NATIONAL CONFERENCE TO BE HELD IN THE EAST. BISHOP ALEX. WALTERS HEADS IT — THE ROOSEVELT TAFT ADMINISTRATION OUR WORST ENEMY — THE HARM IT HAS DONE US. The positive and notorious hostile attitude of the government of our republic toward its citizens of color under the present republican administration and the approach of the party nominating conventions in this year 1908 produce a risk for one of the citizens of the citizenship of these United States of America. The open alliance between the president and the nullifiers of the constitution in the south constitutes the most flagrant collusion between a republican president and the southern democrats since the emancipation of the American slaves 45 years ago today, save in the case of Andrew Johnson at the close of the civil war or of Rutherford B. Hays at the close of the reconstruction. But it has remained for the present chief justice of the United States to script in officialdom matters inferior grade of education for one class of citizens, and to thus officially brand that class as concealers of criminals and as rapists, while the defaming and discharging in disgrace of more than a hundred soldiers, all colored, without a trial or chance to be heard in the courtroom, and in the office and constitutional rights visited upon colored citizens unprecedented in our country's history. The placing of the nation's sanction upon the segregation of citizens for and because of color in public travel but completes the federal maltreatment of the colored citizens under the present republican administration, leaving him stripped of rights, branded and in contempt. In view of these unusual and extraordinary conditions, in view of the attempt of the present czarocratic regime to perpetuate itself in power in imperial fashion; in view of the open candidacy for the republican party, in view of the desire of one who in his official position as a cabinet officer has in public speech in the south condoned their disfranchisement of citizens for color in admitted violation of the federal constitution, and who has supinely endorsed in toto the brutal and autocratic discharge of colored soldiers with the intent of one of a class which almost from necessity has for two generations by its solid support and with a loyalty that sacrifices friends, the chance to make terms with the enemy and even life itself, kept the republican party almost continuously in power, but one who is free from party obligation, are colored men, and of avowed friends to be held in the city of Philadelphia, Pa., on the 7th day of April, 1908, to counsel together as to the wisest course to be pursued politically by the colored citizens of the country especially those unrobbed of the ballot who are willing to use this weapon for the purpose and abhorrence of their class, under the present abnormal condition of affairs. This conference will have special reference to what demands shall be made of political parties as to the national platform and most particularly to what candida presidental homeland most deserve the protection of the colored voters. Please come perpared to make a stand for equal rights and for constitutional liberty for all in these United States without any discrimination, creed,LEXANDER WAYNE'S President Afro-American Council. WM. H. SCOTT, President Suffrage League of Boston and Vicinity. WM. BONROE TROTTER. President New England Suffrage League. Accuses Count Boni of Forgery. Paris, France.—The public prosecutor has instructed a magistrate to open an inquiry into the charge of using forged documents brought against Count Boni De Castellane by Prince Helle De Sagan. The charge was first made by Prince Helle at the trial of his suit for damages against Count Boni in connection with an encounter which the men had on the street. Helle declares that letters which were addressed to a woman friend of his and signed with his name and photograph contained injurious statements in response to Mme. Gould, were forged at the instance of Castellane with the object of causing an estrangement between him and Mme. Gould. Another Defeat for the Moors. Paris, France.-Gen. D'Amade, commander of the French forces in Morocco, has followed up his previous advantages in his campaign against the Algerian forces, decisive defeat on the Madrakes, the Mzabs and a force of Malai Hafif's adherents, who came to the assistance of the tribesmen. The battle lasted from 6 o'clock in the morning until 8 o'clock in the afternoon, in enormous losses, abandoning everything in their headlong flight. The French losses were very slight. Indicted for Alleged Bribery. Bay City, Mich.—A deputy sheriff from Mason county on Monday served upon City Controller C. J. Barnett, warrant issued under the indictment returned last week by the grand jury in Mason county which has been investigating state affairs for several weeks. Barnett's indictment is the result of charges before the grand jury that he offered money to Representative Adam Walker of Bay county in connection with a bill creating a board of public safety for Bay City. Mr. Barnett denied the charge. Imposes $5,000 Fine for Rebating. Buffalo, N. Y.-Judge Hazel in the United States court here on Monday gave his decision in the case of the Mutual Transit Co., which was convicted at Elmira in January last on the charge of giving rebates to the Camden Iron Works upon shipments of pipe. Judge Hazel said that as this was a primary offense in poration the motion, a new trial should be imposed on a fine of $5,000 should be imposed A stay of execution for 60 days was granted. OUR BISHOPS TAKE A FIRM STAND AGAINST PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND SEC. TAFT AND SPEAK RIGHT OUT IN A RESOLUTION AND AN ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY, THAT MAKE LOYAL AF- RO-AMERICANS PROUD OF THEM. Washington, D. C.—The bishops of the A. M. E. church, in concluding their annual sessions at Metropolitan church here on February 18, 1908, adopted the following resolution, which was concurred in by the bishops of Zion A. M. E. and the C. M. E. churches, who were also in session by the president. "That we enter now and here our solemn protest against the monstrous injustice done 'The Black Battalion' by President Roosevelt when he discharged its 167 brave men without honor or trial of any kind and merely on a suspicion of their guilt in the Brownville affray, and against the hardly less wrong done these same men by the cawdry indignement given by Mr. Secretary Taft to the huge injustice of the president. "That in consequence of the many sins of commission and omission of the Republican party against its faithful black contingent in the south, of its Lilly White movement and the countenance and support given to the Republican party for the intimidation, of the unmerited and illegal punishment of the black battalion by the president and the approval of the same by his secretary of war, we, the colored ministers of the A. M. E, the A. M. E. Zion, and the C. M. E. Zion, of the Republican national convention assembled in the city of Washington, do hereby raise our voice in stern and solemn warning to the coming Republican national convention not to put in nomination for the presidency either President Roosevelt or Secretary Taft on pain of having a government at the polls next November the almost solid colored vote of the north." They also issued the following To enumerate the civil social, moral, judicial and political injustices that today exasperate and annoy the members of our race, would be a hard task. We are American by right of birth; by the blood we shed; by the service we have freely given to achieve the independence and to preserve the life of the republic against foreign and domestic enemies. We are citizens of the United States much for the civil and political rights as all other men before the law. We do not ask at your hands any special favors; we ask at the bar of this Christian nation nothing to which we are not entitled under the law and constitution. We ask for fair treatment that we may rise or fall on our merit like other citizens of the United States much for the civil and political rights as all other men before the law. We do not do these unless we and our children are given equal opportunities with other people to get an education at the public expense; equal voice with all classes in making the laws; unless our laborers are given all other laboring classes. These things are not only necessary to the highest good of our country but are almost good of our common country as well. A labor class in an industrial republic like ours, deprived of the government is at the mercy of other laboring classes which possess that right and that voice; indeed, at the mercy of all thus privileged. In the mercy of all such privileged the are almost good of our common country to obtain work with other laboring classes. We regret the fact that wherever this race turns, that it is restricted to the certain narrow limits of the "color of the national" in the north, and "thus far" in the south. We appeal to the friends of humanity to use their influence to rid this glorious country of mob violence; we appeal to all who believe in fair play to assist us in banishing from our land the peonage and convict labor systems. We appeal to the liberty loving men in authority to end their assistance by influence, the legislature for the national of the "Jim Crow" car laws which have placed a stigma upon the noblest and the best of our race, from the bishops of the church to the humblest. We appeal to the judges of the supreme court to annul laws in violation of the federal constitution, to the several southern states when disfranchisement laws have been enacted, and to the congress of the United States to repeal the enactments which have robbed us of the rights guaranteed to us by the federal constitution which were gained upon the field of conquest by blood shed for the benefit of as well as the legislature of the country. As lawyers of the rights guaranteed to the citizens of this great republic. Signed by the following bishops: J. W. Hood, T. H. Lomax, R. C. Harris, R. S. Williams, E. Cottrell, J. W. Alstork, R. A.

The suffering of the people for the necessities of life is greater for meeting this need make it imperative that no time be lost in quarrelling over how we shall go about it." Despite this statement by Mayor Guthrie, councils last night refused to issue bonds for street repaving, it being proposed to have the city do the work, dividing it among the city's unemployed. Refused to Accept the Request. Philadelphia, Pa.—The board of managers of Swarthmore college has declined to accept land and coal property bequeathed to the institu- tion, which is the Tampa city, on condition that all participants in intercollegiate athletic sports cease. OHIO AFRO-AMERICAN LEAGUE Declaration of Principles. "We are republicans from principle and not because of office or emolument. "As republicans, we demand and insist that equal and exact justice shall be granted to all integral parts of the great body politic. "As loyal and faithful members of the republican party, we have made it possible for victory to be achieved when defeat seemed imminent, without any result advantages to ourselves. "We are as loyal and as true today as ever, but have grown tired of being considered as pawns in the great game of party politics and are determined to call a halt. "The presidential embroglio in Ohio affords us the opportunity of announcing to the world our convictions and aligning our forces for a triumph against the combined armies of hatred, prejudice and indifference toward us within the party ranks. "President Roosevelt has not been uniformly just and square in his dealings with the Afro-American and cannot be deemed a loyal and true American since his speech in the south wherein he said that he was proud of the fact that his two favorite uncles had fought under the stars and bars during the rebellion. If he was proud of the fact that they fought to keep our forbears in servile bondage, he is emblem of our country, the stars and stripes, he is not in a position to recommend to loyal Americans a candidate on the republican ticket for president to succeed himself. "We are faithful to our friends and defenders. We have not forgotten that grand galaxy of heroes, Wendell Phillips, Owen Lovejoy, Garret Smith, William Lloyd Garrison, Charles Sumner, James Patterson, Benjamin W. Tourgeon, Benjamin F. Wade, Salmon P. Chase, the immortal John Brown, the sainted Lincoln and thousands of others who suffered in our behalf; and we know that not one of them, if called back to life, would express a feeling of relief that the victims had fought to dis solve the nation and against human freedom. "We are for Senator Foraker, for anything he wants, whether it be president of the United States, reelection to the senate of the United States or retirement to private life. But whatever his personal ambition may be, we believe in the inherent right of every American citizen to "stand pat" whenever any individual, class or organization of men seek to secure his elimination from public life, whether it be the president of the U.S. or any other American citizen. "Having the most profound regard and veneration for the late Hon. Alphonso Taft—father of the present secretary of war—who, as attorney general in the cabinet of General Grant, was a true friend to our oppressed brethren in the south, we regret that duty to our race and country compels us to state that on William H. Taft, distinguished as he is, cannot and will not obtain the support of the Afro-American voters for the high office of president of the United states so long as he stands admittedly the personal candidate of Theodore Roosevelt. While we are aware of the fact that conditions may bring about his nomination, we also believe the conditions and votes will bring about his defeat if nominated. Where we would prefer to have in the office of president a man of different political faith, than to elect to that exalted office a supposed political friend who would be false to the basic principles of the grand republican party. "We declare that henceforth and forever, so long as we remain identified with the republican party as firm believers in its principles, and active workers for its success, giving to it our numerical support without which, in many counties, districts and state—and even in the national elections—republican victory would not be possible, the practice of our white republican brethren of getting themselves together, holding chamber sessions, selecting candidates, deciding questions, etc., and then looking to us to furnish votes, shall no longer be submitted to us, but instead thereof we demand the full recognition in all the councils of the party that our numbers and intelligence represent. The Resolutions. Whereas, The Hon. W. H. Taft, secretary of war, is being announced as a probable candidate for the republican nomination next year for the presidency of the United States, and is being widely held in office in Ontario, the one most eligible for that exalted honor and position, and Wherens, The Hon. W. H. Taft, in his speeches at Greenboro, N. C. and Tuskegee, Ala., in 1906, viewed without protest the displeiable discrimination against our people, the undisguised violation of our rights, and the disfranchisement of colored citizens, at least condoning the, same, and Whereas, The Hon. Wm. H. Tatt, after the dismissal without honor of 167 innocent colored soldiers as a result of the alleged *Brownville riot*, publicly branded them as criminals, though they had not been tried, and though the entire military manchinery of the police would prove them guilty or justify their unmerited punishment, therefore he gults. Resolved, That we, as law-making American citizens, loyal first to our families and race, next to our country and the republican party, do hereby voice our protest against a consideration of the Hon. W. H. Taft as a republican presidential candidate, for his speeches condoning constitutional violations, notwithstanding the special plank in the republican platform of 1904, indicate a lack of republican principle, integrity, and bestow his indemnity to the bourne and meritorious soldiers, many of them grown gray in the service of their country, in Indian wars and the Spanish-American war, shows weakness and prejudice rather than that broad spirit of impartiality, conservatism and justice which should characterize an aspirant for the greatest honor of our party and nation. Furthermore, Be it resolved, that we call upon our brethren throughout this great state, particularly, and the country to join in our protest and warning to all republicans who support the Hon. W. H. Taft for anything at this time, that they are thus forfeiting the good will and support for the future of all loyal members of our race. Hon. Harry C.

Banges of Toledo, O., his turn for a story having come, "a negro was reputed to have had visions about Heaven and hell. His boss called him up and interrogated him as to what he saw in both places, and first as to what the white men and darkies were doing in Heaven. 'Lord, boss, the white men was all a-titting back in their chairs, with their heels on the banisters, a-smoking cigars, and the niggers was down on their knees a-shining in their golden slippers. Then as to what was going on at the other place. 'If you believe me, boss, every single white man had nigger in his hands a-holdin' him up between him and the flames.'"—Washington Herald. A Slip.

Old Man's Thrift That Led Him Into Ridiculous Action. President J. G. Schurman of Cornell was discussing elective college courses, of which in the freshman and sophomore years, he disapproves. "A freshman of 16 or 17," said President Schurman. "Is too young to choose for himself the courses best for him. His mind is not mature enough. It will make mistakes. "In its immaturity, its proneness to error, it is like the mind of an old man in my native Freetown. He, though old, was mentally undeveloped, and saw nothing wrong or ridiculous in a piece of economy that he put in practice in the cemetery. "The old man had lost four wives, and desired to erect for each a headstone, with an inscription commemorative of her wifely virtues. "But inscriptions, he found, were very expensive. He economized in this way: "He had the Christian name of each wife cut on a small stone above her grave—"Emma," "Mary," "Hester," "Edith." Under each name a hand pointed to a large stone in the center of the lot, and under each hand were the words: "For epitaph see large stone." OLD GENTLEMAN NOT PLEASED. Letter's Inscription Certainly the Reverse of Flattering. In the English club at Hongkong a white-haired old gentleman, who had come down from some northern port, was seated at dinner when he suddenly became very excited. He had been brought a letter by a solemn-faced Chinese butter, and he saw something on the outside of this letter which sent him downstairs two steps at a time to interview the hall porter. When he came back he told us what was the matter. The hall porter had inscribed in the envelope, in Chinese, for the information of the butter: "This is for the old baboon with white fur." Unfortunately for the hall porter, the old gentleman was a first-class scholar in the Chinese language. THREE CURES OF ECZEMA. Woman Tells of Her Brother's Terrible Suffering—Two Babies Also Cured —Cuticura Invaluable. "My brother had eczema three different summers. Each summer it came out between his shoulders and down his back, and he said his suffering was terrible. When it came on the third summer, he bought a box of Cuticura Ohtment and gave it a faithful trial. Soon he began to feel better and he cured himself entirely of eczema with Cuticura. A lady in Indiana heard of how my daughter, Mrs. Miller, had cured her little son of terrible eczema by the Cuticura Remedies. This lady's little one had the eczema so badly that they thought they would lose it. She used Cuticura Remedies and they cured her child entirely, and the disease never came back. Mrs. Sarah E. Lusk, Coldwater, Mich. Aug. 15 and Sep. 2, 1907." Such a Clever Waiter. Two gentlemen dining in a New York restaurant were surprised to find on the bill-of-fare the item, "green bluefish." "Waiter," one asked, "what sort of fish are green bluefish? "Fresh—right out of the water," said the waiter, offhand. Nonsense," said the man. "You know enough that they do not take bluefish at this season." The waiter came up and looked at the disputed item. "Oh, that, sir," he said, with an air of enlightenment, "that's a hot-house bluefish, sir."—Youth's Companion. REDUCED COLONIST RATES.

A Connecticut man tells of two Irishmen from Boston who, while driving through the state named, observed that many of the barns had weather-vanes in the shape of huge roosters. "Dennis," said one Irishman to the other, "can ye tell me why they always have a rooster an' niver a hin on the top of thim barns?" "Sure," replied Dennis. "Its because of the difficulty they'd have in collecting the eggs." Always Time to Reform.

The record of the deeds of the divorce courts of the court of session, Edinburgh, for 1907 she vs that during the year 200 actions of divorce have been raised. In only three of these was a decree refused, while two cases were held over. There were 27 actions of separation and aliment, one of adherence and aliment, two of declarator of marriage and two of declarator of nullity of marriage, making a grand total of 231. In the actions of divorce, decree was granted in 99 instances on the score of adultery, and the remainder for desertion. One hundred and twenty-eight wives were responsible for the rising of actions against their husbands as against a corresponding total of 99. Glasgow easily headed the list among Scottish towns with the large record of 57 divorces. Edinburgh followed with 33, while Dundee had 12, Leith, 8; Aberdeen, 4; Perth, 2, and Greenock, 2. London's Water Supply The water supply of London is derived from the Thames and Lee rivers and from springs and wells. According to the Lancet it is adequate for the present, though the per capita consumption is only 33 or 34 gallons as against a consumption of 200 gallons in Chicago. A WELL MAN, AT 81.

My arms and legs were stiff and I was helpless as a child. The urine was discolored and though I used one remedy after another, I was not helped until I used Donn's Kidney Pills, and I was so bad then that the first box made only a slight change.

"In our business we get many doubtful compliments," said Col. John F. Bishop, deputy surveyor of the port, the other day, "but I do not think I ever received a compliment such as my grandfather got down in my native state of Tennessee. My grandfather was a minister and I was a very small boy when we both strolled down the road one day. One of our fellow villagers came along toward us.

We usually expect the doctor to put us on some kind of penance and give us bitter medicines. A Penn. doctor brought a patient something entirely different and the results are truly interesting. "Two years ago," writes this patient, "I was a frequent victim of acute indigestion and biliosness, being allowed to eat very few things. One day our family doctor brought me a small package, saying he had found something for me to eat, at last. "He said it was a food called Grape-Nuts, and even as its golden color might suggest, it was worth its weight in gold. I was sick and tired, trying one thing after another to no avail, but at last consented to try this new food. "Well! it surpassed my doctor's fondest anticipation and every day since then I have blessed the good doctor and the inventor of Grape-Nuts." "I noticed improvement at once and in a month's time my former spells of indigestion had disappeared. In two months I felt like a new man. My brain was much clearer and keener, my body took on the vitality of youth, and this condition has continued." "There's a Reason." Name given by Ptumum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

That portion of the country in Western Canada formerly recognized as ranching country has developed into one of the best winter wheat districts in the continent. Yields are quoted running from 30 to 60 bushels to the acre, and giving a return to the farmer of from $25 to $50 per acre. These lands are now selling at from $12 to $20 per acre, and pay well at that figure. H. Howes of Magrath, Alberta, Western Canada, had 50 acres of land in wheat, which averaged 45 bushels to the acre; his yield of oats was 35 bushels. The value to him per acre of wheat was $25.00. J. F. Haycock of the same place, says: "I had 65 acres of wheat, 35 acres of oats and four acres of barley. My average yield of oats to the acre was 80 bushels; wheat—winter—60 bushels and red yte, 33 bushels, and barley, 50 bushels. The value to me per acre was, wheat $28.00, oats $23.00, and barley $24.00". J. F. Bradshaw of Magrath, had 1,030 acres of wheat in that averaged 39½ bushels to the acre, his oats, 32 bushels; barley, 53 bushels. He threshed 31,000 bushels of wheat from 542 acres. He also had 250 tons of sugar beets from 25 acres worth $5.62² per ton. W. S. Sherod, of Leflible says: "I came to Lethbridge from Sourls, North Dakota in April, 1974, having purchased 900 acres of land in this district last fall. I had 128 acres of Alberta Red winter wheat which was put in on breaking in the winter, and all was volunteer this year. Lots of wheat is averaging from 50 to 60 bushels per acre on summer fall, and on new breaking, when the breaking was done early in the spring." Writing from Spring Coulee, Alberta, W. L. Thompson says: "I had this year 3,000 acres in crop, viz. 2,000 acres of wheat and 1,000 acres of oats. My average yield of oats to the acre was 30 bushels and of wheat 35 bushels. The value to me per acre for wheat was $27.00 and for oats $15.00."

It is an almost infallible cure when mixed with certain other ingredients and taken properly. The following formula is very effective: "To one half pint of good whiskey add one ounce of Toris Root compound and one ounce of Syrup of Sarsaparilla Compound. Take in tablespoonful doses before each meal and before retiring." Toris Root Compound is a product of the laboratories of the Globe Pharmaceutical Co., Dayton, O. A prominent druggist states he fills this prescription often and has seen its good results. It is surely worth trying by anyone who may be afflicted. What Did He Mean? For a number of years a bitter feud had existed between the Browns and Perkines, next door neighbors. The trouble had originated through the depreduations of Brown's cat, and had grown so fixed an affair that neither party ever dreamed of "making up." One day, however, Brown sent his servant next door with a peace-making note for Mr. Perkins, which read: "Mr. Brown sends his compliments to Mr. Perkins, and begs to say that his old cat died this morning." Perkins' written reply was bitter: "Mr. Perkins is sorry to hear of Mr. Brown's trouble, but he had not heard that Mrs. Brown was ill"—Harper's Weekly.

A Washington man, whose business had brought him to New York, took a run not long ago into Connecticut, where he had lived in his childhood. In the place where he was born he accosted a venerable old chap, of some 80 years, who proved to be the very person the Washingtonian sought to answer certain inquiries concerning the place. As the conversation proceeded the Washington man said: "I suppose you have always lived around here?" "Oh, no," said the native. "I was born two good miles from here." Don't Try Uncertain Recipes.
