ELKS' CASE THROWN OUT. COURT QUASHERS SUIT OF WHITE ORDERS V. G. R. JOHNSON. So In the Man. Who Was Arrested for Wearing an Eik Pin on the Streets of New York—Defended by Manhattan Lodge No. 5 and 65 and Brooklyn Lodge No. 58—O'Relly, and Wheaton He Council—Derision important. On April. 2 Mr. O. R. Johnson, an African American, a member of Manhattan Lodge, No. 45, Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Eiks of the World, was arrested on the streets of New York City. He was held before Magistrate Baker of the Execx Market Court, who ordered a change of venue to the United States Court, under Magistrate Whitman. He first demanded the badge of the order, which was immediately furnished as Exhibit No. 1. from time to time the case was ad-journed, until on June 19 it was called by Magraturte Mickens presiding as attorney by Magraturte Dempel and Olustred. After arguments pro and con by counsel, the case was thrown out of court, as being unproven. The plaintiff was the Benevolent and Protective order of Elks of the United States, the white organization; and more that 300 white Elks were in the court room. The Negro Elks were represented by Counselors Dan O'Reilly, ex-District Attorney, and J. Frank Wheaton; and S. P. Jones, exalted ruler of Manhattan and district deputy of exalted ruler and district deputy of lodge, No 32; D. V. Corcutt, chairman and envoy of the legislative committee of the three lodge; D. W. Parker, secretary of Manhattan lodge, No 40; D. I. Johnson, defendant, and lots of other Negro elks. The issue of this case is highly important as there seems to be a systematic attempt all over the country to persecute EkoLs on the part of the white Elks. LOSING GROUND IN DISTRICT.

Georgia Primary Scandals Worst Than Reconstruction Produced SAVANNAH, Ga., June 10—Shameless buying of votes at the polls marked the Democratic primary here for the nomination of county officers, three Representatives in the Legislature and State Senators. Only white men and Democrats were allowed to vote and the purchase of ballots was carried on at the polling booths. Professional and business men entered the polls in the county buying. They stood at the Court House where voting for the entire county was conducted, waving-huntsful of money and bidding for votes. The peace was among those openly purchasing votes. The prices paid ranged from $10 to $40, although $25 was the amount which was paid in nearly every case. Due bills were given in most cases, but often money was exchanged. It is estimated that $00 votes were handed and that the election cost the People's Democratic League, which won. $100,000. CHIEF BAMBAATA SLAIN.

NATIONAL CONVENTION PERI Talk That National Committee Will Reposition Number of Delegates According to Voter Cast in Southern States — Southern Delegates Have Meld Balance of Power, but Have Not Abused It—Fight Knights, at Pritha. There has been so much fuss and noise made about him that he has no escape, from politics by reason of his having been disfranchised has not been the means of persuading white men to come into the movement of the disfranchising laws it was contended that if the Afro-Americans were denied the right to vote thousands of them would be disfranchised. Theciples of the Republican party would join the ranks. The Afro-Americans has been disfranchised but the Republican party has not any appreciable increase in numbers. If two of the men who are running for the governorship of this State mean that they are African American in the event of the election of either, "This is a white man's country and we want you Negroes to understand it," said one in the event of the election of either. "This is American who were in the audience." "It is not only a white man's country but you have no rights that he is bound to respect the day or at night you are at mercy," said another, "it really says that the Afro-American should be given no education whatever, that his place is behind the plow and that his chances are not candidates for the place who are conservative, but it must be admitted that their chances do not show up so favorably as those of the two first mentioned. In the time the race is becoming very interesting. The Knights of Pythias of this State hold their convention next month. The order has grown to huge proportions, and the Knights of Pythias weeks ago a State charter was applied for by the order and a petition duly filed in court. As soon as certain white Knights hoon of it they got busy in opining and organizing a grand lodge set aside one thousand dollars and engaged the services of a prominent lawyer to fight the Afro-American Knights. As yet nothing has been done, and the are being mapped out, it is undoubtedly In the northwestern part of the State of Alabama some Afro-Americans are at tempting to build a town of their own to house their families. They have named their town Hobson City. There are some interesting facts in connection with this town both as to where they are able to go, and first place, it has been duly incorporated by the legislature just as any other town in the State of Alabama. Now, these African Americans are able to go charter for a town—where they can fact that two political factions existed among the whites; and one of these factions someason helped Afro-Americans to establish the town. The present is not very large but it is steadily growing in population. Not a white man lives in its limits. Afro-Americans are not the only justice of the peace, and in every other official capacity. As is well known, Afro-Americans are disfranchised in Alabama. They are on business in Hobson City, but just now they are a dozen voters. The town is located about three miles out from Amiston on an ideal site. As was said, no white people are on business in Hobson City, but just now they are seeking to get a franchise for its tracks through the town; and while there are many of the citizens who fear that the town will not get a franchise, it is very likely that the railroad company will get the franchise.

Wirbite, Kna, Forbidden by Attorney Gangshu Wax, Fax: Special Law WICHTRA, Kaa, June 15.—Attorney General Coleman has rendered an opinion holding that the Board of Education of Wichita cannot separate the races in the public schools here.

Coleman says that the Wichita schools are maintained under a special act enacted by the Legislature of 1890, and that section 4 of this law requires no discrimination on the basis of race. Daughter of Col. Brockridge of Kaley Hilliars Request. Chicago, Ill., June 15—Among the most interested and interesting of the guests at the Douglas Center banquet to Proff. Kelly Millar last week, was Miss Breckenridge, daughter of Col. Breckenridge of Ankoutry. Miss Breckenridge is dean of the Woman's department of the Women's charity, an active women's social settlement. She is a close student of all social questions. To those who could appreciate the significance of the situation, her presence and passion, and a quality of romance to the occasion. It was thrilling to bear this young daughter of the Conferderacy exult in her own canvass from the south trifalcon in the city, to introduce her prejudice, her new-born capacity for comradeship with kindred spirits, though dwelling on the same prejudice, she ascertained pleasure she sat among the Afro-American people in Quinn chapel and allowed herself to be currupted by the professor of mathematics in Howard University. One could almost carry her new-found happiness in being thus disunfamiliar in the accusations of prejudice and hatred of one's kind. THE GRIMKES IN CHARLESTON.

Tee and Afro- AMALGAMATION:TWO PHASES HONORABLE IN NORTH DIBONQRABL E IN SOUTH. Southern Midsize Horrified by Possibility of Legal Intermarriage of Races in Ohio and Indiana—White Man's Letters to Afro-American Girl Which Proposed Something Very Different From Legal Marriage. Special Correspondence of The Tan Ace. RICHMOND, Va., June 18—The editor of The News Leader, Richmond's apity afternoon paper, has been out West recently—that is, through Ohio and Indiana—and has seen some things which were calculated almost to throw him into complications. Personally speaking, the editor is a great, big, broad-broaded man, of the "Virginia" type, whom to know is to adquire. He is liberal in his views respecting Afro-Americans, but like all newspaper men he has his hobby—his pet theme—which he must harp upon every once in a while, interweaving it in some manner in some of his articles several times every week. Complete separation and segregation of the white and black races, for fear of social equality, amalgamation, assimilation, miscognition and every "tion" that means a mixing of the races—this is his hobby. So bitterly hostile is he to the very thought of an intermarriage of blacks and whites that, like Cato in his hostility to Carthage, he concludes almost every day some leading article with a dictum on separation of the races, no matter what the subject. Well, he went to Ocuncinnati and Indianapolis, and here are some of the things he saw: In Ocuncinnati he saw an Afro-American policeman patrolling the streets; he saw Afro-American and white patrons of an excursion run into the city and leave the station in company with one other man and an Afro-American woman, who appeared to be husbands and wives, strolling leisurely along the street. He saw an Afro-American business man walk up to the desk of a white girl, who is a public stenographer in the lobby, and he saw a girl giving orders as to their destination, and depart. He noticed that the schools are mixed, that white and Afro-American students are mixed, and that possibly go to each other's homes and eat together. In all this the editor saw the idea of social equality spreading; and had marrying the daughter of a white janitor of one of the flats on his beat; the Afro-American business man marrying the daughter of a white man; and termurrying of whites and blacks because the laws of Indiana and Ohio do not forbid intermarriage of the races, but theoretically encourage it by not forbidding Now, this editor witnessed "facts that suggested a possibility" of an alliance in the war against the white people, in the last few days, I have seen a letter from a white man to an Afro-American woman, which, while addressing the war, desiring to enter into that holy estate of matrimony which is commenced of St. Paul to be honorable among all men, as suggested by the letter, suggest a desire to have this young woman validate the Seventh command of the Decolonization, and convicted him of having committed the Monk who speaks of just. The facts in the case are these: A young African American girl, a servant in the company of a white family, had 12 ounces of her morning duties the going to a nearby ice-house each morning for ice. She was always served by the young white clerk, who was very courteous. A trip as usual, but the man being busy serving other customers told her that when he was more at leisure he would bring the ice around to the house. When he brought the ice he handed it to her with a note. She, thinking the note was a statement as to the ice account, paid no attention to it till later in the day, when she took the note to the mistress of the house. The first time she heard of the form of a letter of admiration of the African-American girl, speaking of her ladylike appearance, personal charms, etc., asking for her name and ending by saying he would like to become better acquainted with her. This rascal even had the effrontery to give his home address and name, asking the girl to write to him at that address. The mistress suggested that the girl take the form of a letter with a view to having the man arrested, but her father, an old man, thought it might get the girl in trouble and create a scandal and let the matter drop. Your correspondent saw the letter in question. While there is no desire on the part of the intelligent element of our people down here for mixed marriages, I think that a mixed marriage is not the case. The other one, God and man, than such an unholy alliance as was suggested in this white man's letter to the girl. AN AFRO-AMERICAN MAGAZINE? Nother Barber Nor Brown Named in "Video of the Negro" Position. ATLANTA, Ga., June 15—With a view of finding out just how much sincerity there is in the widely heralded boast that The Voice of the Negro has been organised as a strictly Afro-American publication a copy of the magazine's petition for a charter in the Superior Court of Fulton county, where Atlanta is located, has just been secured. The petition reads in part as follows: 5. That officers and directors of sald can be less than ten per cent. of the amount of the capital stock of the corporation is sub-divided by the directors shall be elected by the sub-dividers. The interesting thing about this is that neither the name of J. Max Barber nor of Dr. Bowen, who are put forward as the president, nor the appointed at all; and another interesting thing is that in spite of the fact that Atlanta is possesses a number of the brightest cities in the country, no one of them is employed to secure the charter for this publication. MANHATTAN Y. M. C. A. GROWTH. Membership Now 511—Committees Re- organized - New Club Formed. The work of the Manhattan Y. M. C. A. is still growing.

OLIVE BRANCH. to Taukegue by Chaplin Ware of Atlanta University. The Atlanta University Bulletin. Has my privilege to be the representative of Atlanta University at the city-fifth anniversary of the founding of Taukegue Normal and Industrial Institute. All who have any interest in the cause of Negro education have doubtless read the accounts of this remarkable event which appeared in the periodical. It remains for me simply to express some impressions of one engaged in the same work though in another department. Two things must have impressed themselves upon everybody present: first, the dimensions which this institution has attained in the short space of twenty-five years under the management of Mr. Washington, and the influence that it exerts through its graduates and its friends among the Negroes. Secondly, the confidence that the man and the work have inspired among the people of the Nation, North and South alike. What, with which they tribute could be paid than the men and women who left them busy occupations, and, in part, with which they were paid by the presence of the men and women who were left their busy occupations, and, important duties to travel and to spend, and to travel to Tuskegee? President Eliot to leave Cambridge and come as the representative of Harvard University, Secretary Taft to be there as the representative of the President of the United States. Mr. Carnegie to be there, who if he wished to could not go to visit all the places that have been established by his benevolence and such men and Bishops Galloway and Mississippi and Ohio. About a month of the University of Alabama to be there expressing the approval and faith of the South—these are the things that deeply impressed me. I feel that every institution for the education of the Negroes ought to be able to rejoice with Tuskegee in this great honor, and I express here the congratulations of Atlanta University. Whatever the cause of humanity in the field a reason for the coming of the part of all others, and for working in the same cause, I do not rejoice with Tuskegee in the great honor which has been accorded her in this twenty-fifth anniversary. If I may do so without being misunderstood I wish to give expression to some other reflections on some of the friends I know. Atlanta university is largely dependent for support upon the annual gifts of private individuals. In order to receive such gifts it is important to understand the work to the interest and support of a large number of people. We need in order to do this simply to gain the attention of thoughtful people who are interested in or want to what we are accomplishing in Atlanta and through the work of the graduates elsewhere in the South. But Atlanta University has not been able to do this with Taskees has attained in twenty-five years. It is not likely that she will in forty years to come. The reason for this is easy to see in the situation can see the value of the work of Taskees while comparatively few will see the value of the Atlanta work. Among these few we may count Mr. Washington, though not all of those who admire him and believe The danger to the work of Negro education that lurks in a great demonstration like that which usurges knowledge in it which the press sends abroad in the land is this: that the one institution or the one method of training which it represents will so fill the mind of the interest in another sort of training which is also vitally important for the development of a race, and which, like that of unskilled workers, is not an anthony. The result of this would be a bhindrance to the whole cause of education, industrial as well asademic, for the two branches are dependent on each other.

Boulden—Rose by Treating Down on Uneducative People. MARK CORRESPONDENCE OF THE AM WARMINSTER, June 16—GOD gives as great scoundrels as texts to anti-slavery sermons. Wendell Phillips mild this more than half a century ago, relative to the apathy and fall of Daniel Webster, when he made his famous seventh march speech in the Senate on the composite measure of 1850. The great apostate to liberty was still living when the great anti-slavery orator launched that bolt at his head. Since Mr. Phillips uttered those stern and memorable words of judgment and invective many an apostate to liberty has held a seat in the NATIONAL Senate, and many a great counsel has furnished texts for reformatory sermons. They came from the people, strutted their wicked hour on that start, and then passed from it to dusty death, nourished by the selfish interests and clauses whom they served and detested by a dark multitude whom they hated and wrought all their lives. In 1804, one of the most sinister years an American history, there hung into political party greatness. The history in America, Stephen Arundel Douglas was a grain example of the survival of pixie machines in the modern one-socket era. The machine was a veritable water dog, daring, unscrupulous, naïve, transmuchidity, nausea and transcutaneous heartbeat. The sight of the machine stood for the good to get possession of it. This was the man who was selected to take the lead in the repeal of the Missouri compromises. The doctrine was misused the pirate boat which carried conservation to many and anxious community in the free States at the time of the removal of that famous It was under this American politician with voting instincts and sea-wolf a blood that Arthur Poe Gorman took his first step toward the "Little Giant" carry became Gorman's local, early became his idol. To the attainment of this ideal, to the shaping of his life and to the creation of the monstrous features of this idol, Gorman devoted himself soul and body—sold himself soul and body to the devil of American slavery. Since the "Little Giant" shook on his moral coil forty-five years ago no more insister of American political than the pupil and initiator of that insister incarnation of race heartlessness and barbarism, than the man-who has just followed him with the musk and dust and silence of the Arthur Poe Gorman has gone at last to his long and evil account. He has gone leaving behind him, and bated by 10,000,000 of colored people, leaving behind him as vile a stench of bad deeds as has ever clung about the grave of his father of iniquity in American public life. He chose wickedness, the persecution and oppression of a poor, weak and despairing man, and he possessed his diabolical purpose for well nigh fifty years. When he died in this city at the age of 80, he was from his head to his feet with the crimes of his long life, with the blood and wrongs of the race whom he hated and hounded himself to the chamber on K street, and then in theomb at Oak Hill cemetery, so still, so stiff, so helpless in the white grief of the woman, woman or child living in the United States who did not send to him their curse, who did not join in the悲痛 of life and of his not less wicked memory. Yes, he has gone, a bad man, to the long and evil account of his evil life. We have glanced over the lynchings eulogies of the black man, and we know how thoroughly bad he was. They were misnaires, false, shameful—all the falsemakers piled about his black beer. They could not make white that which the man could not make black, and could not in death make sound that which the man had made rotten in life. The odor of all these false eulogies cannot swept the heart of such a man which, during his life, was guilty of self-hel�ness, of cruelty and corruption. Theire, the evil deeds, the wicked memory of such a notable example of Machievelian villainy and wickedness in America, the evil deeds of high-baring just so long as the evil influences, the evil consequences of his evil acts survive in Maryland, in the South, in the Republic to curse the poor, in the South, in the Republic to incite the injustice all his wicked days. He will soon be forbidden by his party, which he led and betrayed more than once in the United States Senate for a more believed in him; for he had but one party to which he was ever devoted during his life, and that party himself. He held him fast to any interests but personal ones. Above the voice of duty, above the voice of party, above the voice of friendship, above the voices of patriotism, above the grief of loss, above the loud clamor of self, of ambition, to the fierce cry in him for power, for wealth, for success at any cost—to party, deeply depressed race. He has gone and his power with him, and his success. His outwield could not save him a minute when the grief of loss and the collapse of his chamber on beautiful morning in June. The Governor, whom he hated and fought, has appointed his successor, and the collapse of his majority will speak in the Senate the last words—the last lying cry to which that August body shall be called upon to test his wicked life dithr. not, where he has gone, a bad man, to his long and evil account, leaving behind him as an infamous monument to his evil life in the cow laws of Maryland and the laws of the colored people of the colored country not alone of his own State, but of the whole country as well, the balteous memory of his last accusers, the deprived colored people of that State of their right to vote for no other reason than their race, and because their disenfranchisement would accuse them of the political supremacy of the State. He has gone, a bad man, to the long account of his civil life. The love which into which burns afresh in the heart of 10,000 of people goes his open grave. For if he lived a thousand years he could not have survived the cursed legacy of outrage and iniquity which he has left for them in his black will and testament, written in the civil law of the state. He was the cruelter heart of the white people, who followed him silently, fiercely in his informal crusade of wickedness against a weak and oppressive race, who and we have been so long in conflict, offered bitter injustice at their hands and by their laws. Like a green hay tree this wicked man spread himself tired. With his heart the The Southern States Immigration Commissioners have been deiding themselves about turning the tide of immigration into hard fact No. 2, where Commissioners Wachschen told them that immigrants will not go South until wages are raised. That be truth. The South always been the market for cheap labor. It inherits this cheap labor herefrom the curse of unpaid slave labor. The South is maintaining this cheap labor reputation is known throughout the Northern States and all over Europe. Brother Gompers and the Federal Southern labor problem, drop their race prejudice against the Negro and help him organize labor in the South and raise it. Do this and the surplus labor North must be induced to go South and supply the labor demand there, relieving the under-education problem in the South where hiring out hard difficulty in maintaining a high standard of living against the competition of labor supplied by immigrants who cannot be into going into the Southern States. Hard fact No. 1 is written in big letters around the globe. All the world has read of the uninterrupted reign of Jesus in the Middle East, and these images in the South, and these facts are as well known in Europe as the unsparkle barbarian practices upon the Jews in the United States are known and abbreviated in the United States. There is not an adult immigrant among the millions coming here so ignorant that he does not know about these Southern conditions when he lands and he promptly declines to go into this "hell of a country." Northward and westward the steady stream of immigration flows, cheerfully facing climatic conditions and supersensitive weather, poverty isolation, desolation and race dangers in the beautiful "Sunny Southland" which God has done so much for and which man in his blind fury for aransas and prejudice has done so little to develop. The blight of that cherished barbarian of race caste, the aftermath of slavery, crisis bloom over that beautiful countryside, fall to the valley to make it the garden of the world. Will dear old Dixie take this kindly word of warning from one who has some knowledge of her barbarian and a superior knowledge of the valyry and capabilities of making the Southland an actual refuge for our civilization if the time ever comes when a dearth of lawlessness shall follow the delirious commercial madness in the North? WHITE SOUTHERN TEACHERS. Ludderena Sample of Munders, Made b) Public School Candidates. Candidate of Public School. From the report of an examination in Alabama for certificates as teachers in the white schools, we have a number of excellent examples selected at random. We are sometimes amused at the examination papers in our schools in the South, but the following examples bring evidence new that there is no color line in education, and that wonderful blinders are all of the same color. One would like to see the teacher writes on "Southern Heroes" thus: "Gren. Lee was a man, he was a hero, he was gain, he was watchful. He was one of the best generals the South ever had. Joe Wheeler, did I say Joe I should have said General Joe Wheeler, the Brave little fellow, and I can say and am proud to say that I have worked to his interest in the 7th No. of Alabama and I am proud that I can say that. He did children the free that stood on Urban soil, and I am proud that he is an Alabamaan. But I remember Hobson who slept between the walls of Cuban prison, and have one sentiment for all the Generals of the South both living and dead, that is cheers for the Living and tears for the dead." * GORMAN'S ORBITUARY. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AUCTION It is easy to recognize your master hand, as the writer of the editorial on Arthur Pue Gorman in this week's Acr. In a few words, wasting as little space as possible on an unworthy subject, you say what many think. The grave itself should not silence our maldecisions against such men as Arthur Pue Gorman and those of his silk who still exist; the curse or the race they have harmed and are still wrenng should, and we hope well, follow them in this life and death and all their future precautions. What is pity is that we, a race, regarded as alien, in our own country, with such arch-devils as Tillman, Vardman, Davis and all that hellish crew, leading their cohorts of lesser monsters against us, should ourselves be divided and split in factions, clichés and "movements." In union there is strength; in division death itself to our hopes and ambitions as a race. May the day hasten that will see all Afro-Americans solid in the spirit of "One for all—All for One." It will be a long step in that direction, and there are thousands of Afro-Americans throughout the country wishing it. New York city.

Thirty years ago, when I was a boy in Georgia's central city, one part of the au- urbs given over to Negroes contained an agreement of unfurnished, ill-kept, rented cabine, the occupants untidy and for the most part bittlesome. Recently in company with a friend who was interested in a family residing in the same community, the new home, homes, flowers growing their own, homes, flowers growing in the yards and on the porches, curtains at the windows and an air of homely serenity overflowing the entire district. In conversation with the people of the house and neighborhood we heard good ideas expressed in excellent language, and discussed the subject with many family friends. In contact was possessed of sufficient education to read and write, while many were much further advanced. Just one generation lies between the two conditions set forth, and the change may be said to indicate the urban Negro's mental and material progress throughout the world. The great change in the country is the gloom ahead for the Negro the question may be fairly asked. Where else in the world is there a people developing so rapid? There is no threat to the South in the Negro's presence there. For at last the only Negro who threatens our civilization is the criminal Negro, and the only white American is the black man, and our whole system is a failure if this question is not solved.

Nikkoland in London Serve It Delivered Bryan and Free Silver, Miss Elizabeth Renovated Government of the City Opening the Way to Presidency. From The London Review of Bertie. Mr. John E. M. Millbolland has returned from America, full as usual of national and international politics. Zealous for years in his advocacy of the colored people's rights, as he was of the slaves, this year he is full not only of real but of confidence that at last there has been made a beginning of the end to existing deplorable conditions in 'the South; the utter failure of the Anti-Negro Campaign last fall in Maryland marking the turn of the tide. "The Constitutional League," he burst forth with characteristic impetuosity, "the Constitutional League—" "Stop a minute," I said. "What is the Constitutional League?" "A belated expression of the American conscience, an effort at last to organise in comprehensive, effective manner the country's latent moral and patriotic sentiment on this subject, or, if you would have the speak in less abstract terms, the League represents the binding together of the people by the way, through animated relationship, no less than 16,000 clergymen—who are determined that the Constitution come permanently, as it is at present, a more sectional document—dead, so tar as regards surrage conditions in the South, as the Voeses Vence. The Constitution ignored, and what is the need for the Constitutional League when you have the Supreme Court, which exists to defend the Constitution against all infringes "Yes, that is the theory, but I am merely stating this disagreement. I am not merely stating that the public sentiment in the White South become, and so inductive has Northern opinion that in most of the States south of Mason and Daxon's line the Constitution is trod. But the question is whether practically avoided the question by assisting that the matter is one for Congress, not the Courts. Or wrong, not the Judicial deliverance on southern Suffrage. "Well is Congress the remedial agency?" Certainly is, though not to the exclusion of the Course, for in view of the plain declarations of the Constitution the Supreme Court has its duty also, and has come up in slow getting in motion not only to express its strong support. The Constitution declares explicitly, that no State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges of the States. It also provides that no person shall be deprived, without due process of law, of the liberty or property, and the Constitution in declares cannot be denied by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. There has been in the South during the past ten years an average of three lynchings a week, and that the entire North alone has been in lynchings. The South is this franchised by force or fraud, the conclusion would seem warranted that the Constitutional provisions have not been jealously safeguarded by the courts. “Every intelligent citizen knows that the disfrauching institutions and laws of the Southern States are not in harmony with the Constitution; they are a fraudulent restraint upon liberty, render representative government ridiculous, and were so intended by their authors. By such fraudulent proceedings over 18000 native-born American citizens, as legally entitled to vote as President, Roosevelt himself, were robbed of their franchise rights in Alabama alone, which had been guaranteed to them by the Federal Constitution, rights as set rel. Mr. Blaine once declared, as any could be in the United States.” and without property?" "Certainly not." Of the 18,100 registered Negro voters in Alabama more than 22,000 could read and write. More than 22,000 could own a vehicle and own their own farms. Nearly 2,000 were own art owners. More than 56,000 were cash tenants, and nearly 24,000 were share tenants. There were fully owned schools and private schools of the State. There were colored merchants, bankers, lawyers, officers, physicians, and ministers to the aid of all this army兵力 less than 2,000 have been allowed to vote since the adoption of this infamous new State Constitution. In Tallahassee County, with 3,000 colored people, Negroes was allowed to vote in the entire county. Even Negro principals of colored schools were denied registration." "What can be done? What does the Constitutional League propose?" "Immediate action should come from Congress along the lines of our bills presented by General Keifer and Congressman Bennet. Whatever defence the courts may put forth, Congress has no power to impose such a point on the Constitution of the United States as plain, explicit, mandatory. It imposes upon Congress the duty of qualifying representation in the Government. Whether the State Constitutions which govern the United States are constitutive of the colored citizen are constitutional, in whole or in part, is not a matter of particular concern to Congress in this business of qualifying representation. The State are experts in framing laws for the oppression and degradation of others. "By currently elected plots and electorate funds they can misrepresent successfully, and succeed to a certain extent in bearing the costs this does to the Congressional action. Eighty-fifth degree. Wherever a State has denied to its citizens the right to vote, it is the duty of Congress to细则 the base of representation thereby to the baals of the Constitution. The State shall bear to the whole number of male citizens of 21 years of age in such State. That is what the League is trying to get Congress to show present." "I am not sanguine that it will at this session, but I am confident that such action cannot be deferred much longer. Republican government exists as a form, but not as a foot in the South today, nor as a means of the majority of the population. Oligarchy is the only way to describe the State government of the South. It is the way in which Southeners themselves describe it. The State government allowed to go on. The country is waking up. As a result of the League's activity in the last two years, no less than twenty-three State conventions in the past year, the State form. Among these, it is proper and important to state, was the Democratic State convention of Massachusetts. The question is one that transmits all more half-tail considerations, but as the Reagan administration is his hope in no longer fit and prefer to look to it for redress." "But is not the Republican party committed to this?" "Certainly by every honorable achievement and tradition in its history.

"It prevented a result which would have relatively affected Europe and the Americas, and silver, for which the whole South stood solidly. "Bear in mind that while the South, in the last Presidential election, gave about 40 percent of the votes, nevertheless it has to-day not less than 34 per cent. of the Presidential electors. By taking the representation of the South can offset the entire vote of New England, or negative in Congress and the electoral College the entire white population of all the States of Rocky Mountain, California, Washington, Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Utah, to which we may add North Dakota and South Dakota, and the South will still be overwhelm and negative the white voters of other States." "Is not lynching dying out?" "Political lynching has only diminished because the reign of terror is no complete obey." When Senator Tillman could boast in public that he had helped to save a man from a shot to kill every time you can form some idea of the state of public feeling in the South. The life of a colored man is no more of than that of a jackrabbit. "What you are telling me is equivalent to saying that political, if not physical, slavery is practically established in the South." "Peonage is indistinguishable from slavery. A Negro is fined for stealing a chicken, and then farmed out as a slave until he works off his fine. His owner takes precious good care that he never works it on, but remains the legal peonage or slave till he can work no more." "Won't your Constitutional League raise Can and precipitate another war?" "Oh, no, there will be no war; only some dangerous collisions and bloody happenings until 'Uncle Sam' takes hold in earnest. The existence of the League and the hopes which it and other means arouse among the colored men is the one great insurance that we possess against the outbreak of a war of races. The colored men keep hoping that Constitutional rights may be constitutionally vindicated. If they were once to feel themselves deserted—" "Well, what then?" "What then? Well, then. I guess that despair would unlock the gates of Hell." JOHN G. NORWOOD, PEACEMAKER. Death of Man Who Tried to Avert Wil- mington Race Riots. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK ACE: The death of John G. Norwood, who passed away at his home in Wilmington, N. C., a few days ago, removes from that community a potent factor in its growth. John G. Norwood was a gentleman of the old school: polished, courteous, polite, dignified, whose "voice was never heard in the street" in controversies loud. A carpenter and builder of the first rank, a painstaking instructor of young men in the trade, John G. Norwood was a benefactor of a company of men who will cherish his memory as the tutor who started them upon the road to self-help and independence. In missing over his death, the much regretted uprising in eastern North Carolina in 1858 comes to mind, when he wilted in a fight with a mob pleaded with the leaders of a blood-thirsty mob not to disgrace the fair mase of Wilmington by unprovoked and wanton butchery. He stood foremost among a group of African-American citizens of Wilmington whose voices should have been heard, but who were brushed aside by misguided advocates of "White Supremacy," who abused the word "white" then by the Republicans as a peace offering, rode through slaughter to a coveted throne and put that glorious old State upon the level with States further down. His law and lynchings were already pastimes. Prior to this unfortunate episode, Wilmington was one of the most tranquil towns in the state, with its pleasant continent, and Mr. G. Norwood was one of the adjuvants in bringing about and protecting old men, and the birthing of old and young men of the best families of the white race on that fatal day. On the side of the intimidator and male violence, was too much for this grand and considering old man; he never recovered and took away many years from his useful life. Most of the participants in that awful tragedy have preceded John G. Norwood into the Silent Land. Mr. Norwood and his wife, Mary, and two daughters, viz. Dr. John C.

There was held last week at Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga., the eleventh annual conference on the Negro problems. The subject this year was "Health and Mortality," and many interesting figures were presented. The Negro and white death rate for the country is: While the Negro death rate greatly exceeds the white, the improvement is manifold. The proportion of the race is consumption.

The prejudice against a certain pigment of the skin is particularly idiotic when directed against a member of a great patriarch race, occupants of those "early Aryans," with a Hindu is merely a Caucasian, "of the gruntic type." Mustache not for his complexion, the shadowed livery of the curried sun. in New York despairing a fellow Caucasian for his color is preposterous as men are most of the time, but it a palpable British design, not without secret language for lampy, it is not surpraging.

As a rule the Indian visitors to New York and monocaucas, as they are in earnest or for the distinction of their residence. whether this letter be truth or allegory, it suggests an indisorderly and a beautiful prosaic. Why do you know what we are or despise white men and white men show? Why should Negroes bear the curse, as it is from the white man's standpoint and from that of many men? Ignited and illustrious as these prejudices of color against color are, they are in themselves essentially absolute. The chocolate-colored Savage thinks the white man's true functions. To the eye of pure reason, it seems We're any reason, and it had an eye to sed with, voice colors and every color might be equal to beautiful, ugly or grotesque. MAMPERS' CONCERT IN NEWPORT.

High School Gagowu Hum'lated. From The O' Jour Dr. Wm. J. White Says Ride Champion Find Them Where Without a Buss Into Constitution With a Buss To Fight for Civil and Political Rights. From The Georgia Register. It was but two weeks ago that we meld editorially that the colored people of this country reacted that they were not going out as did the Israelites of old. They need leaders as do the people everywhere, but they need no Mosew, as such, they are not now nor can they ever be a separated nationality while dwelling in this country. They must be Americans as are other Americans; they must be part and parcel of the great American Nation as are all other Americans. Some must tower above others as leaders along the different avenues of human activity and each in his own place will have a following. This leadership in many cases will be temporary, in other cases it will be as long as the life of the individual will be sufficient, and will be the recent place and hick it for a longer or shorter time according to their several abilities. Dr. Dullois shows that in spite of their good leaders the Afro-American people of the country have lost ground in the political realm. To this editor Fortune calls us: New York Aurora replies for us follows: "That this has been due to weakness in the mass of the race rather than in respect to maze disputation over it aapparent, it is one thing to give a man freedom or to have him keep it. If the Afro-American people had possessed the intelligence and rights they enjoyed under the constitution, they would have been able to peacefully face with the reconstitution Act. It they made a brave and intelligent show of patriotism of a majority of the American people, and they would not have not everything Act constitutions. That they were unable to do so in no wise discreditable to do so in respect to maze disputation, ignorance and inexperience self-government with which they were handicapped in the southern States from 1857 to 1876." The difficulty which besets the ablest colored men of the race at the present time is that they have not the necessary self assertive constitutive at their backs to the payment of civil and political rights. The assesses are in large measure dependent upon the white people in one term or mother or finance, financially, intellectually and morally work. Many have not sense enough to stand up like men and in a unify mood most upon having what beats the white man, and others again think only of bread and butter. Those weaknesses are not so much racial as they are the outgrowth of conditions—economic and a new black American, who will have no shame of color or race, but who will be far more proud of being a loyal American citizen ever ready to defend him against the attackers from Africa or that he insults is a black man. These are the men that are to say the hope of the race and of the American Nation. They must be patriotic and this they will shortly do. AFRO-AMERICAN BEAT TO DEATH. Fifth Murder Due to Race Riota Near Johnstown, Pa. JOHNSTOW, J., June 18—For the fifth time within a year the whites residing in the vicinity of the Miller shaft at Portage and the Afro-American employees employed have clashed, the latest outbreak occurring this afternoon, when John Alexander, an Afro-American, was seated in death in front of the Portage hotel.

It is almost performer in every name of it is work the most remarkable proportion ever discovered founded on new skills altogether and is encoded by every one who has used it to be the cat food for the skin, for importing velvety softness and whiteness to the eye and hands, for preserving, freshing and beautifying the Complexion, removes all wrinkles and in death to lockhands and pimple, and makes ew life for the skin. No lady whose complexion is poor or thin then and crinkled can afford to be without this great toilet Preparation. All women save it in their power to renew you and beautiful. It is an easy thing to do if you want it, but one can stay young if you wish to be so, or you grow old and honestly as you please. It is a gift which is almost at your disposal. Staying young and beautiful is not hard work, just that care and attention that every self-pickling woman should have. There are women of 30 who begin to look old. They are not charming as to hair, tooth or complication. They do not understand the nature of self-pickling. They keep clean, as cleanliness is understood—that is a matter of course—but that does not know how to make the most of themselves. To regain a good complexion and make oneself beautiful is a skill pleasing task for one who understands her job, and it is a task from which no self-respecting woman should shrink. Any one who will take the palms can make themselves beautiful. Read what Miss Sarah Smith, of Washington, D. C., writes of our Face Bleach: Prof. D. Roberta, Dear Sir—I have used your great beautifier for the past three months, with the most gratifying results. It has done all for me that you claim it will do, and I would not be without it.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING: New York, Feb. 6, 1902.—Dear Dr. Elliarson I will pen you these few lines to let you know how much your treatment pain, feeling fine. Feel like a sixteen year old girl. When I think of how long I suffered before, I came to you, I felt like I was suffering from your kindness and for what you have done for me in bringing back my health. I remain yours truly, Sarah E. Cox. The 88 Putnam Ave. Brooklyn, N. Y. 30 Arlington Street, Newark, N. J. I was given my pleasure to certify to my 300 students the titles of Dr. Elliardson's medicines. I had been sick for a long time, and had complained, and none did me any good. Since I have been taking Dr. Elliardson's medicines, I have been greatly benefited.—Henry Gaines. I wish to add my testimony as to Dr. Elliardson's medicines, my mysterious influence. I was laid helpless upon my back, unable to speak, or move, and foot, too. Dr. Elliardson, I was able to work with me than a week. I felt as if I had been trained from the dead.—Mrs. Thomas Elliardson, 224 Seventh avenue, Mt. Vernon, N. Y. 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 Myrile Avenue, Brooklyn. Newark, Sept. 14, 1902.—I wish to state that I was sick with a mysterious disease and in great trouble and distress for a long time. No one seemed to understand my case. I went to 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 rooms Dr. Ellarson, a most kind and sympathetic physician of wonderful insight and power, who in a short time cured me sound and well. I can truly and heartily recommend Dr. Ellarson to all those in sickness or distress of any kind.—Moses Jones, 13 Camp Street, Newark, N. J. Dr. Ellison can show thousands such as above.

VICTORIA EARL MATTHEWS 217 East 86th Street New York City may31-3mos Consult the Three Celebrated Mediums Clairvoyants and Palmists Consult the Three Celebrated Mediums Clairvoyants and Palmists If You are Going to See a Clairvoyant, Why Not See the Best? As the best is always the cheapest in the end. Better consult no clairvoyant at all, no one else is unable to help you, as false prophets do harm than good, as they leave you in a worse condition than before by their false advice, based upon guesses; we have an established institution; testimonials and credentials from thousands of your own citizens and friends. If you have already made a mistake, thrown away your money and lost confidence through deating with much-advised and self-styled painists and clairvoyants and their cheap, clap-trap methods, start from the beginning and consult these wonderful mediums. They will tell you frankly your condition and what you may expect; if nothing can be done for you they will not take one cent of your money. Has not this honesty on the face of it? We can tell you all this and more: How can I have good luck? How can I succeed in business or work? How can I have my home happy? How can I conquer my enemies? How can I marry the one I choose? How can I marry well? How can I conquer my rival? How can I make anyone love me? How can I get a good position? How can I remove bad influences? How can I control anyone? How make distant ones think of me? How can I settle my quarrel? How can I hold my husband's love? How can I keep my wife's love? We tell all and never ask questions. No charge if not satisfied when reading is,over. You to be the judge. We do hereby solemnly agree and guarantee to make no charge if we fail to call you by name, names of your family, or your promise to tell you whether your husband, wife or sweetheart is true or false; tell you how to gain the love of the one you most desire, even though miles away; ask for assistance in business, lawsuits; how to marry the one of your choice; how to regain youth health and vitality; remove all evil in the house; do not write, but call; owe to our large office business we have time to do business by writing, or to answer letters.
