Not the Sentiment of the Citizens of the United States WHITE HOODLUMS Responsible for Riots and Such Disgraceful Scenes as Enacted Recently in Springfield. THE PRESS IS FAIR Newspapers, both in the North and the South, Explore Mob Law and Severely Condemn Lynching, Ignorant Blocks and White Census Trouble. That lynch law is not the sentiment of the citizens of the United States, but of only the hoodlum element who, due to ignorance and lack of culture still possesses the interior make-up of a savage, has been shown since the Springfield riot. Not only the leading citizens of Springfield, Ill., have condemned the riots without reservation, but prominent citizens throughout the country. It has also been gratifying to both the Negro and the white who believe in law and order to note that the press, regardless of sectionalism, has declared against mob law and lynching, and asks that the law be upheld at all times and in all places. Tare Ace is reproducing this week extracts and articles from dailies published in the North and South on the Springfield riot. In every instance lynching is severely condemned. (From the New Orleans Times-Democrat) Human nature is the same North and South. Beastly, outrage is no more forgivable on one side of the much-discussed line than upon the other. There is no such radical difference between the white man North and the white man South as the Negrophiles have led, the Negro to believe. Both will protect their wives and daughters, and on dire occasions will take the law into their own hands. Those who have believed otherwise have imagined a vain thing. (From the Mobile Register) A Southern mob confines its attention strictly to the guilty or supposed-to-be guilty; all other Negroes are safe and go about their business as usual. There may be racial animosity down here, but not enough of it to incite the mob to general violence. The reason is that Southerners know the Negroes, and are aware that there are good Negroes and a few bad ones; whereas all Negroes look alike to the Northern whites, and if the Northerners dislike any they dislike all of them. (From the Richmond Times-Dispatch) While in the process of time it is possible means may be found whereby the contact of races will become less terrific and more immediate its obvious. It is not to abuse one section of the country as more barbarous than other sections, but for each community to take on itself the vigorous maintenance of law and order. Let it be known that for every outrage the law will inflict due punishment, and that every attempt at private or mob revenge will be sternly repressed and the offenders treated as criminals. (From the Augusta Chronicle) The crime which provoked the Atanta riot was committed by a Negro but little above the savage in intellect and character; and the mob which vengeance on his race made up his rough part of reckless boys and roughs. We have no doubt the same was true in Springfield—as it is generally true elsewhere. The respectable, representative members of both races are more onlookers; enforced witnesses of acts which disgrace civilization and outrage humanity. As for the solution—it must be to lift the ignorant and vicious, of whatever race, to a higher plane. And until then, and always, the application of the strong arm of the law—whether it be to apprehend and punish the perpetrator of a crime, or to hold in check the savage mob that seeks unlawful vengeance. (From the Philadelphia Inquirer) (From the Philadelphia Inquirer) How is [the Negro] to be uplifted into higher planes if he is to be killed if his house burned because some one [of them] is crying? Is the whole race to be held responsible for the acts of one man? * * * Civilization is not composed of mob law and the lynching principle. Men who parade the streets with murder in their hearts and seeking revenge by attacking THE NEW YORK AGE. the innocent need civilizing peace as much as those whom they aim annihilate or injure. The State capital of Illinois was the home of Abraham Lincoln, and this fact must add to the distress which the race riots in that city the past week have necessarily caused in the minds of the American people. No more bitter desecration of the memory and fame of Lincoln could be imagined than the scenes of race war in Springfield. Almost nothing, apparently, was omitted to make the episode hideous. One might ask, sardonically, why the white mob did not complete its work in arson and murder by lynching the local monument of the great emancipator. A rope around its neck and a strong pull—the Lincoln monument could have been laid low, like the race that he freed. Whatever the original provocation to the whites may have been, the verdict must be that the conduct of the white mob was infamous in its lack of self-control, its furious passion and display of savagery. The whole spectacle makes the blacks look like the white of two years ago are now paralleled at the home of Abraham Lincoln, where the population cannot begin to be burdened by a race problem of such intensity and diversity as the Georgia city. Are the Northern whites even less self-controlled than the Southern whites, when dealing with this question? On the basis of the Illinois and the Georgia cities, the blacks might reach the conclusions, at the present hour, decidedly, unfavorable to the Northern community. That the Negroes of Springfield revealed a combative spirit when the mob began a general attack upon their race is one of the phases of the affair that will arrest attention. More and more, as time passes, and these racial collisions occur, the blacks show a tendency to fight and to make reprisals. Can they resist or will they be their wives? Protection for them and their homes and families by the authorities is often belated or inadequate. A mob suddenly invades their residence and business quarters bent on destruction and the sacrifice of victims, however innocent, to a murderous lust. Put yourselves in their places, and imagine the result. If the whites are the superior race they should be superior to self-control and the home the highest civilization being a thoroughly civilized being. The fact that a black commits an isolated crime against white womanhood can never justify a sudden relapse into a welter of anarchy—but this is so much a commonplace of ordinary, everyday living in a civilized community that the necessity for its constant repetition at such times becomes almost disheartening. It is needful, indeed to guard against discourage when these shocking events occur and remind us of the struggle for order and obedience to lawful authority and a steadfast regard for the restraints of common decency is ever where unending. As to the more local aspects of the riots, it will seem to many that the authorities were very weak in permitting the crisis to get so far out of hand. Besides the police in Springfield, the city is the residence of the governor of Illinois, who commands the entire national guard of the State. Authorities there at the location in Springfield spite of them, the mob was virtually unchecked by strong measures throughout a long period of time extending over two nights. (From the New York Journal) A race riot like that at Springfield, disfigures the country, not only or chiefly bri account of its cruelty, but because the idea that actuates it is anti-American. If left to itself that idea would sweep free government from the face of the earth. The idea that furnishes the driving force of race riots—whether directed against Negroes. Italians, Jews or any other race—is that moral character is determined by heredity. There is go denying that this idea has had a purpose to play in the history of the world. The ancient aristocracies of Europe and Asia were founded upon it. But it flies in the face of Christianity and democracy. If this idea were grounded in the truth of nature, then our religion and our politics would alike be chimerical, the unsubstantial fabric of a dream. And they would come to an end as a fairy tale that is told. There is no question here raised as to whether it is inhuman and anarchic to hang offending Negroes by summary extra legal process, or burn them at the stake. That is a separate question, and must be considered on its own basis. The question here is: Do you think it right or reasonable that the crime of a bad nigger should be committed, all the members of its race that live in the vicinity? Do you think that morality is a matter of race? Are there comparatively good and virtuous races qualified by the moral authorities of the universe to stamp out the evil in bad ones? If you hold this idea, then you are ripe for a race riot when occasion shall arise. For sudden excitement does not beget new ideas; it only throws latent ideas into action. The Springfield rioters were moved by a dramatic incident to give violent expression to an idea that had no doubt been long cherished among them. And if the idea in question had so many adherents in a single Illinois town, it is fair to suppose that it must have a multitude of disciples elsewhere, North and South. Christianity began its career in Europe as a propaganda against race prejudice. There was to be "neither Jew nor Greek, Barbarian, Scythian, bond or free." Egery man was to accept the Gospel as an individual human being, on an absolute moral equality with all the rest. This was the most sensational thing about the new religion.

Those who Desire May Return to the City. Gov. Deneen Commended for Stand. SPRINGFIELD, ILL. August 26.—The mob of murderers, thieves and robbers who have just disgraced our town was composed of the slums and nondescripts of the lowest human strata of our city's composite. A colored man was accused of assaulting a white woman and partially identified. A crowd of ruffians hung around the jail all day, but were no more conspicuous than at former times when suspects had been captured. Decoration of Druld Hill Avesau But as the day passed away the mob became more and more turbulent. Gov. Deneen asked the sheriff early in the day if he thought it advisable to call out the militia, but the sheriff advised in the negative. However, about a 4 o'clock the sheriff asked that a company of soldiers be placed at the jail at 8 p.m., and by that time the mob of boy ruffians were marching on to Loper's restaurant, the finest in town, and owned by the white man in whose automobile the sheriff had a few hours previous taken the accused prisoners from jail to the train where it was flagged and the men taken to Bloomington jail for safety and with the hope of bringing quiet to the city and to prevent the killing of a lot of these hoodlums, which the sheriff would surely have had to done. The crowd accumulated until it became large; it completely destroyed the white restaurant and then proceeded to the colored business section, pillaging and destroying and stealing everything they found, from money to a knife and fork. The Negroes shot into them, and for a while it sounded as if a battle was being waged. Not a Negro was killed in these battles, yet it is said that seven were killed, but this is not confirmed that kept hidden from the papers. They went on, lion-like, from one colored place to another, devastating property and stealing. When they got to another strongly fortified Negro settlement they were again shot down, like rabbits; one old colored man was killed and hung after he had died. He, too, however, shot two of the mob before he was killed. The mob went on to the colored residence district known as "Bad Land." There they began burning the houses. Everything was so uncertain that many people did not have time to think; they did not understand what was the matter. Some thought probably the whole town, good and bad, was up in arms against the colored people; but not so. Before Saturday morning State troops were all over the city, and one company had arrived in time to shoot into the mob and disperse it. Two days after the first disturbance 6,000 soldiers were in the city to quell the rioters, which they did. Out of the known dead four are white and two are colored, both old men. Gov. Deneen is to be praised in the highest for the steps he took in getting the soldiers here so quickly, and for the careful way in which he had the city patrolled and high-minded statements be promulgated. We censure many colored men who were so quick to run in these trying ordeals. The leading colored men must stand, and not retreat one inch. We must have these kind of men. We were surprised to see so many men you will young, and the one you will not do. Get yourself ready and stand. We also preachers of the Gospel of Christ, supposed to be the bravest of men and the most fearless, the first to leave the city. Shame! Great credit should be given some of the men, for they stood the storm. Springfield is quiet now, and will be good, if not better, than ever to live in. All who desire may come to this city for the Fair, and to live as of lore. TO OPEN FARMER'S SCHOOL Four Years' Course for Boys and Girls in Minnesota. MONTAGE, August 24. This town is the first in the State to take advantage of the act of the Legislature of this year relating to as modification of the high school work in the general direction of industrial or agricultural education; the act reads in its essential part as "The commission shall have all necessary powers on the conduct and maintenance of independent industrial schools. Wee During the Sessions of the National Negro Business and money appropriated by the State and municipality for their maintenance shall be expended under its direction or with its approval. Any city or town may also establish independent industrial schools in charge of a board of trustees, which shall have authority to provide and maintain such schools. Such schools, if approved by the commission on industrial education as to location, courses and methods of instruction, shall receive reimbursement as provided in Sec. 4 of Chap. 505 of the acts of the year 1906." The town has for some years had two high schools, one in the manufacturing village of Turner's Falls and the other in the agricultural section. The town at a recent meeting voted to abolish the high school in the village of Montague, giving the opportunity to the children who desire a general high school education in the high school a Turner's Falls, and providing a agricultural school in co-operation with the State commission on industrial education at the village of Montague.

BALTIMORE, August 24.—Dr. Booker T. Washington gave out a statement a few days ago on lynching which was telegraphed to the New York World and published. The statement follows: Within the past sixty days twenty-five Negroes have been lynched in different parts of the United States. Of this number only four were even charged with criminal assault upon women. Nine were lynched in one day on the charge of being connected with murder. Business League, Baltimore, Md. Four were lynched in one day on the charge that they passed resolutions in a lodge approving the murder of an individual. Three were lynched in one day on the charge that they had taken part in the burning of a gin house. The others were lynched for miscellaneous reasons. One was publicly burned in open daylight, the presence of women and children after all had been upon his body, at Greenville. Texansports state that a thousand people witnessed the spectacle in the open square of the town. One other victim was eighty years of age. How long can our Christian civilization stand this? I am making no special plea for the Negro, innocent or guilty, but I am calling attention to the danger that threatens our civilization. Adamus Negro Loafers. For the Negro criminal, and especially for the Negro loafer, gamble and drunkard. I have nothing but the severest condemnation, and no legal punishment is too severe for the brute that assaults a woman. It requires no courage for 500 men to tie the hands of an individual to the stake or to hang or shoot him. But young men and boys who have once witnessed or these exciting scenes of burning stalls often get the idea that there is something in him in attacking some individual in the community who is at least able to defend himself. No doubt the people who engage in lynchings, and excuse them, believe that they will have the effect of striking terror to the guilty. But who shall say whether the persons lynched are guilty? There is no way of distinguishing the innocent from the guilty except by due process of law. That is what courts are fear. Those who have examined into facts only too well that in the wild justice of the mob it is frequently the innocent man who is executed. Terrify the Innocent. These lynchings terrify the innocent, but they embolize the criminal. The criminal knows it is much easier to escape the mad fury of the mob than the deliberate vengeance of the law. But no man is so innocent that he can be at all times from the frenzy of the mob. Statistics show that during the past ten years an average of thirty-two Negroes a year have been lynched on the charge of assaulting women. Granting that thirty-two per year are guilty, is that a just reason for con- demning over 8,000,000 adult Negro men who have no part in such crimes? Are we as a nation to allow thirty-two criminals a year out of a race of 10,000,000 of people to throw us into a frenzy and change the complexion of our civilization so that we are held up to foreign nations as an uncivilized people not governed by law or order? Again I would say. I am not making any special plea for the Negro, but because I feel that lynching is not. only wrong, but a mistake—an awful mistake. Effect of Mob Justice. Mob justice undermines the very foundation upon which our civilization rests, viz., respect for the law and confidence of its security. There are, in my opinion, two remedies—First of all, let us unite in a determined effort everywhere to see that the law is enforced, that all people at all times and all places see that the man charged with crime is given a fair trial. Secondly, let all, good citizens unite in an effort to rid the communities, especially the large cities, of the idle, vicious and gambling element. And in the meantime I cannot not be justified and would not be beaten unless it be justified the betters of the black race could use their influence, especially in the cities, to see that the idle element that lives by its wits without permanent or reliable occupation or place of abode is either reformed or gotten rid of in some manner. In most cases it is this element that furnishes the powder for these explosions. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. FORAKER HEARS WASHINGTON.

Sanford, of this city has received a letter from Judge William H. Taft which gives the Republican Presidential candidate's views on the recent Springfield (IL) riots. Hot Springs, Va., Aug. 19, 1908. My Dear Sir—I have your letter of August 15 in reference to the recent riot at Springfield, III. Every good citizen in the country must deplore the fendish work of the disgraceful mob that has brought the city of Springfield to sorrow. Such an outbreak of lawlessness and bitter race prejudice makes the city this country sad. It should mean a favor of improving the administration of the criminal law to more earnest effort, because I am confident that if all charges of crimes were promptly investigated and convicted criminals punished there would be much less temptation to the formation of such conscienceless and cruel mobs as that which rani riot in Springfield. Very sincerely yours. W. H. TAFT. IT'S NOW ABOUT THE SITE. GUTHRIE, August 26. This town is still having its trouble about the establishment of a public library for the Negro citizens. While the library is assured, the question now at issue is over the site. Mayor Barnes is championing the cause of the Negroes in the controversy, and up to date has come out first best. Last week Mayor Barnes yetored the ordinance relating to the amount of taxes to be levied because the Council at its last meeting had stricken out the clause in the tax bill which related to 2-5 of a milling be levied for establishing the library. After the Mayor's veto the bill was returned to the Council and the amendment was adopted after a warm argument by a vote of five to four. During the argument over the passage of the bill with the amendment the opposition, led by Councilmen Morrison and Hopkins, accused the colored people of seizing a site to drive the whites from that section of the town. The amended bill was finally passed, however, by a vote of seven to four. Twenty of the white property owners who own land in the neighborhood of the site, have presented a petition to the City Council against the library being erected on its present site. It was suggested that a committee be selected from the Council to consult with the committee who has the erection of the building in charge, to see if another site could be secured. Judge Perkins, representing the library people, declared that his clients would not think of securing another site. SOLDIERS AND NEGRO COOKS Cildah at Camp'Perry—Race Riot' Narrowly Ascerted CAMP PERRY, O. Aug. 24—A race riot of serious proportions was narrowly averted here last Tuesday after noon, when the white soldier waiters clashed with the Negro cooks. The officials in charge have closed up like clams over what started the outbreak. Only prompt action of the "non-coms" in charge of the mess tent prevented a riot. Several personal encomiters were pulled off and a number of both races received black eyes and bloody noses. An effort was made toush up the matter and it is improbable that an investigation will be made.

Good Citizens Should oppose all Crimes. RUSSELLVILLE, Ky., August 23.—Since Judge Sandridge denounced mob law in the strongest terms he has received letters complimenting him for utterances from jailers who live in every part of the United States. In addressing the special grand jury regarding the lynching of the four Negroes, brought on by a fight between James Cunningham, white, and Rufus Browder, colored, in which Cunningham was killed, Judge Sandridge declared that there was no excuse for lynchings, and that only courts and juries have the power to take a person's life. Judge Sandridge's charge: I want you, gentlemen, to remember that you are jurors, to remember that you are under oath, to remember that we live in a civilized country, and to remember that that is always best, all ways safest, to be conservative about all things. I can readily understand gentlemen, how a great deal of excitement may have arisen in that community over that killing which you are called here to investigate. I understand that there were very few people present. There is never, under any circumstances, any excuse for mob law. Never! No thoughtful man will sit down and think about this thing and be willing to give his consent to it. Nobody in this country except courts and juries have any commission, to take human life. It does not matter whether a man is guilty or innocent, no man and no set of men other than the constituted authorities have any right to pass on his life. Nobody except the sworn officers of the court. These are the only people who have any right to do this thing. Take, for an instance, these four Negroes who were hung here last week. Somebody passed on their case. Somebody passed on the case of each one of them and decided that he should die. Somebody passed on each and decided that his life should be taken. Who was the person who did this? Who decided that their lives should be taken? What evidence did they have upon which to determine whether life should be forfeited? Was it rumor? Was it hearsay? Were the witnesses sworn? Were the men who were condemned present? Did they have a chance to be heard by counsel, or even by themselves? Did they have a chance to explain that possibly some mistake might be any one of them? Now, it will not do that they were bad Negroes and that they were killed and that it will improve the community that their lives have been taken. I can name you a dozen men whose death some might believe will improve the community, but I don't feel authorized to go out and kill them. Has it come to be true, gentlemen, in this country, that some persons whose identity is unknown can meet in the dark, without the presence of the defendant, without his having an opportunity to be heard, without his having witnesses present, without his having a chance to explain anything, and decide that he is guilty and that his life is to be forfeited? Can these self-constituted go themselves and take him by force and take him immediately? Is that the law in this country? Nobody can defend such conduct. No man can rise up and defend that position. If that is best and the people in this country believe it is well and wise to try men that way, why not pass an act of the Legislature and make it legal? "Why not pass an act and say: 'Be it enacted that whenever a crime is committed any number of men who choose to do may get together and decide to take a man's life and take him out and hang him.' Would you vote for a man for the Legislature who proposed to introduce such a bill as that before the General Assembly? Do you want that to be the law of this State? Can anybody want that to be the law in this country? And then give them, carry it a little further, over what offenses shall this unknown tribunal have jurisdiction? Shall it have the right to try rape cases? Shall it have the right to decide cases of homicide? Remember that it has been less known, which seems to have been less inaccurate in Logan county, that you have not only to try men in their absence and without witnesses, the right not only to decide whether they have forfeited their lives, but this secret tribunal also exercises the right to execute them on the same night. The first notice the defendant has is when they knock at the jail door calling him to the scaffold. This is the first notice to him that he has been charged with any crime. It is his first information that he has been tried for any crime, the first notice that any decree In the 3rd Assembly District in the borough of Brooklyn the colored voters are becoming most interpreting. This district has about three times as many colored voters as any other above Vanderbilt avenue, and the characteristic feature of the Negroes to be unable to make when they are in large numbers has asserted itself in this section very unanimously. Mr. James Ryerson, president of the Garrent Republican Club, has presumed to be dictator in this district, it is said, and not long ago issued a call to the colored voters to meet at Samuel Digg's place of business, 1517-Atlantic avenue, and form the 23d Assembly District Club, which was done with the following officers in line: George E. Wilson, president; Charles Birch, vice-president; Albert King, secretary; Fred. Birch, trummer; Joseph Lefevre, assistant secretary; Walter Smith, sergeant-at-arms; Joseph J. Herbert, chaplain. As an auxiliary to this club Mr. Samuel Digg has an organization of a political party, with all the officers in line as in the previous organization, with the exception of president, which office is held by Mr. Digg himself. Just a few blocks away Mr. Frederick D. Johnson and others have the Colored Republican Club of the 23d Assembly District. The officers of this club are: Fred D. Johnson, president; Elmer Baker, vice-president; Noah A. C Watera, secretary; Thomas Birch, treasurer; William H. Howe, executive member. The cause of this split seems to be that the Colored Republican Club wing refused to adhere to Mr. Ryerson's dictation and have brought sociology into the matter. These gentlemen unanimously declare that men of respectability will not be seen in the place kept by Mr. Diggs, and therefore they will not affiliate with an organization that will not tend to lift the race. They accuse Mr. Ryerson of feeling that his hold upon the voters of the county is wanting and that like John H. Smith, he has begun to delve into the so-called lower strata to keep his little prestige. In his effort to cover the entire ground Mr. John H. Smith also has a Richmond in the field, under the nomenclature of "Political Economy Club." Like all organizations influenced by Mr. Smith, this organization is officered from head to foot by Smith. Mr. Smith, however, is not considered seriously by the popular ones in the district, because he is buckling the regular organization. All are of the opinion that when Mr. Smith returns to his office after his month's vacation that Commissioner N. Swasey, who is a regular organization man, will curb his pernicious activity" and Mr. Smith will step under cover. The clubs in the various districts have not taken kindly to the attempt of the Garnet Republican Club to dictate their policy and question the right of that body in their recent action in sending back the minutes for revision. In the 5th Assembly District, where S. Augustus Walker holds forth and who seems to be close to Leader Wentz, who succeeded Sharky in that district, the colored politicians are not at all pleased with the action and almost threentro to withdraw from affiliating with the central committee. It is unfair to all these circumstances have occurred. To the canal observer it would seem good policy for all of these factions and differences to be settled among them and all come together in harmonious accord. Mews, Glover and Cawthorn have recently opened a barber shop at Rochester avenue and Deane street, where the New York Acc can be found on sale each week.

The many after THE NEW YORK AGE: TERMINAL, AUGUST 27, 1968 PROF. MINES AT ASBURY PARK. Gives Bull Three Which was Largely Attracted. Prof. Moses N. Minims went to Asbury Park a few days ago for a vacation. At the request of many he concluded to give a ball there during his stay, and Prof. Banks did the booking. To his regret, he later learned that Prof. Milton Anderson had a ball scheduled for the same night, and it was too late to change his date. A number of people (knockers) told Prof. Minims that he would lose on his hall because he did not have the right hall, but he told them he thought not, because he did not go down there for investment but for pleasure and it did not matter if he made anything or not, as the expenses were small. He found Lyric Hall avery desirable place and on an appropriate street. On the night of this hall the hall was crowded, earlier than on any other occasion and the hall was a grand success. Prof. Minai, returned to the city on Monday, August 26th, and will prepare for the opening of his dancing class at Salker's Harlem River Park and Casino, on Thursday, October 18th, 1900, with moving pictures, showing all the leading colored business men of the city.

Inquire of superintendent JOHN E. JORDAN 29 WEST 99TH STREET, NEW YORK ```markdown ``` LYSCMXC. During the years of 1986 and 1997 there were 122 Negroes lynched in the United States, all these being in the States that be to the south of the Ohio river. What an appalling number! Since 1985 there have been 2,768 Negroes lynched in the United States. And yet the Christian people of this country throw up their hands in horror when the cable brings news that Russian Jews have been cut down in the streets of St. Petersburg or Moscow by the Czar's blood-thirsty Cossacks. Just think of it, since 1985, in free America, the country that boasts of her civilization; boasts of her spirit of humanity. Negroes to the number of 2,768—sufficient to make more than three full regiments of soldiers in the United States army have been lynched—murdered without a trial. And the method of lynching has not always been so mild that simply a piece of hump was made to encircle the victim's neck, but in many instances they have been first riddled with bullets, their throats cut from ear to ear, their faces stamped into an unrecognizable mass of bruised, bleeding flesh and broken bones, and then horrible the thought—their bodies thrown upon or into a fire to burn, while the perpetrators, in frenzied delight, and in a manner suggesting the most cruel, inhuman pages, danced around the funeral pyre. For every black victim of lynch law thousands of whites become immunes to the spirit of civilization, and sink deep into the mire or immorality, and even cannibalism. The Ace has not one word of excuse for the degraded black brute who assaults woman. No more so than we would offer an excuse for the white assailant of woman. Both are on the same plane, or rather, to be more explicit, both are in the same low valley of degradation. And yet, in spite of this awful, horrible roll of Negroes made victims to the shell-developed spirit of race prejudice, in spite of it all, the race has made, and is making progress, moving onward and upward with the steady precision of a regiment on dress parade. And because of this progress made and being made, even when there hangs over us, like a pall, the glamly record of nearly 4,000 of our race lynched since 1885. It would seem that the boasted American civilization would stay the hand of the mob. Some times we are almost moved to exclaim—Is there a God in Israel? --- EASILY OFFENSER One time Pope asked Addison his opinion of a little literary venture he had in mind and Addison advised against it. His Addison was given in the most kindly and complimentary manner, but Pope disregarded it and went on with his original purpose, and was perfectly successful. Forthwith Pope made up his mind that Addison's counsel was meanly and insidiously given, and his whole purpose was to stagger Pope's career. Macauley says Addison's advice was sincere and sound, but Pope was of such a touchy nature that he imagined that it was given for an unfriendly purpose, and he was bitter toward Addison ever afterward. Which incident is related to illustrate the disposition of some people—alas, too many, who construe every little fact, that will bear two constructions into a hostile event. They are on the lookout for such opportunity and rejoice when they are found. It is very disagreeable to have such people about and one has to be awfully careful what he says or does for fear they will be offended. One time a man told a little joke—a thing that was as innocent as a new-born babe, even if it was "chestnut"—and one of the listeners twisted it to apply to himself, and he made himself no miserable over it that ```markdown ``` It sometimes happens that one person will suddenly get angry with another, and the latter wonder what it could be that turns his friend against him. One is miserable in his doubt and the other in his suspicions. And so it goes on for months, each avoiding the other like two pouty school children. It would be a good thing if society had some good speaking device, and give these easily offended people a taste of it. That is what they need. These easily offended people not only make themselves miserable, but they draw their friends into the vortex of miserableness and little factions that disagree over trivials. CRIME BRIEFING PICTURES Our contemporary, The Cleveland Gazette, is to be commended for the effort its editor put forth last week to stop the presentation of moving pictures, at an amusement park in Cleveland, which are propagators of race prejudice, and race wars. It seems that a certain park in Cleveland one of the moving pictures shown was entitled "The Black Viper," the viper, in this case, being a Negro in the act of choking a white woman. In view of the strained feeling existing between the races in certain cities it is criminal to show pictures of lynching, or pictures of any description that may engender bitter race antipathy. The example set by The Cleveland Gazette's editor should be followed by our people in every city in which such pictures are shown. Take the matter up promptly with the legal authorities in your communities, as did Editor Smith, and have the practice stopped. Thus Ace commends The Cleveland Gazette, and trusts that the good example set will be followed by others until all such pictures will be placed under the ban by the legally authorized authorities in all cities, counties and States. THE COUNTY AT MORRIS THE CONVENTION AT NORWICH We have read the resolutions passed by the Northeastern Federation of Coloured Women's Clubs recently in session at Norwich, Conn. No doubt the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs accomplished much good at Norwich. We regret, however, to see a body of this character, through their resolutions, dealing in so many subjects other than those which relate to the interests of the people right around their own homes. They passed resolutions touching upon matters in Delaware, in Mississippi, in Louisiana, in Cleveland, Ohio, but the real thing that concerns the growth and prosperity of our people right in New England seemed to be overlooked. We are quite sure that these good women cannot forget the fact that in proportion as improvement is made in the home life the industrial life and the educational life of the Afro-American in New England, the whole country will be benefited. We strongly urge that such organizations give more attention to matters in their own communities in the future. EDITORIAL AFTERTHOUGHTS. Communicated articles claiming leadership come high, but they are necessary when one wishes to blow his own horn. Judging from the reports of the meeting held in Washington last Saturday evening, the "Bryanized" Negroes are not so many as they would lead one to suspect. Some people are feuded by the adulication selfish little fellows with an ax to grind bestow him no real leader is ever feuded by such. Most hired to sing your praises never sort great influence. Fame and morality beloved up by self praise is but fleeting. The man who plays you false once will do it twice, thrice and always. It is best to part with his company when he plays false the first time. Friendship surreptitiously gained is surreptitiously lost. GUARANTEEING BANK DEPOSITS. If the system of guaranteeing bank deposits was in vogue, and a bank would go to the wall, where would the other banks get the money to pay the depositors? Why, from the people, of course—the saving mechanics, the honest tradesman, the widow and all other people who use banks to get their returns from and do their current business with. You cannot get money from the air or from a pot buried in the back yard, but must get it from the people who work and save and plan for coming days. The bank guarantee system would tend to make both the banks and depositors reckless. The former would take greater risks because they would not have to face the resentment of the THE NEW YORK AGE; THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1988. people who lose, and the latter would patronize indifferently rockless and reliable bankers because they cannot lose. But the reckless banker would have the preference, because he would make the greater promises, knowing that all deposits were guaranteed. And the subject would turn out to be a scheme to encourage wild-cat banking. So far as the national banks are concerned, the law is now against the guarantee. And so far as the present constitution of congress is concerned, a guarantee law would be impossible. Therefore the advocacy of guarantee cannot be for no other purpose than to curry favor with the few who think they need it, in utter disregard of the rights of many who don't. When you guarantee the deposits in a bank, after all you are simply guaranteeing the few with the savings of the many hard-working common people. In another portion of THE AGE we publish a description of a farm school which has been recently opened in the State of Massachusetts. Our readers will bear in mind that this school is not for Negro students in the South, but for white people right in the State of Massachusetts. A GOOD WAY The organization last evening in Chicago 'of a "Law and Order League" by the respectable Negroes, of that city is a wise and honorable step, which should make the decent whites of the State of Illinois more ashamed than ever of the brutal lawlessness at Springfield. For this league to promote the maintenance of law and order does not aim at the prosecution of those who have done violence to the blacks, much less at the defense of their own lives and homes by force. It is directed to repressing and preventing lawlessness and vice among the members, of their race. The Rev. H. E. Stewart, the pastor of one of the largest Methodist Churches of the city of Chicago, is the leader of this movement. He said, in the appeal which summoned the meeting, "Our people are judged by the worst element of our race, and unless we rise and condemn and fight against this lawless element we will be rightly judged." There is a generous fervor in this statement that in reality goes a little too far. The Negro race cannot "rightly" be judged by its worst element any more than the white race can similarly be judged. But it remains true that the very best way to allay the animosity, so widely felt against the Negroes, is to assert the latter has to seek as as possible to control the war. That is what the more intelligent among them have been trying to bring about for some time. The occurrences at Springfield will undoubtedly aid their efforts—New York Times. The View of a Reader Editor of the New York Age As a reader of your paper, and an American citizen, I highly appreciate the stand you have always taken in directing and moulding sentiment. It is very much to be regretted that it is necessary for you to call to repentance so many of the high clergy for their shortcomings. We are proud of such a newspaper that has the courage and manhood to take such a stand. We should regard the minister as a messenger of God, a disciple of the Holy Nazarene; but from some of their actions some of them seem to have special commissions from Hades, and instead of a blessing in the salvation of men, they often prove a domination. I think Tirat Aat is right, and wherever they, as any other law-breaker, peace-disturber, demikard or moral repellate, are found, they should be exposed, discarded as useless and dangerous. The attitude that many have taken to advise the Negro to leave the Republican party, to my mind is worse than foolish. I think you should continue to cry aloud, and stop them in their mad rude. These persons have a peculiar hold upon our people, and many of them know just how and when to exercise their powers. It is their mission to save souls, but by their teachings and actions they seem to be willing that the body be damned. Where are the Negro leaders who are friends of the race? They are entirely Christian, the minister, the disciples of Christ, the Christ and lowly, the man of character, God of love and peace. Where are the representatives of Christ? Are men actuated by love for their followers, or the love of popularity, get and gain? My friends, we need to stop and consider. They advise the Negro to forsake the Republican party. For what and for whom, pray? If we have any grievance, fight it out in the party. If the party leaders are forgetting the principles, call them back. Put in the man or man who will adhere to the principles of the party; but to leave the party would be worse than ingratitude; it would be an insult to the spirit of Lincoln; Grant, Sumner, Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Donglass and to Joseph Foraker. No sane or sober voter who has, ever voted the Republican ticket can afford to do otherwise in this election. The age of progress demands it; Christianity argues it. Therefore, the human race needs the Republican vote. Since we can not vote for Thoreau Roosevelt, we should elect W. H: Taft as President of the United States. George Young. WHAT THE NEORO PRESS HAS TO SAY What's in a name; *Springfield*. Don't even enter the words for it has come to stand for the meanest and most inescapable entangles. *Springfield*, Ohio; *Springfield*, Missouri; and now *Springfield*, Illinois, each and all are infamous spying and house burnings—Star of Zion. The uncalled for slaughter and burning down of the homes of a number of colored people in Springfield, IL, on account of an alleged assault perpetrated by one of our race is a disgrace to our ancestors of being "the home of the free." Governor Dencen, of Illinois, justly said: "It is as intolerable as it is inexcuseable. The idea of wreaking vengeance upon a race for the crimes of one of its members it utterly repugnant to all law and justice. No government can maintain its self-respect and permit it. Our State will not permit it. The entire resources of the State will be drawn upon if necessary to protect every citizen of Springfield in his person and property, and those who violate the law must suffer the consequences."—Wilkes-Barre Advocate. The fact that practically the entire National Guard of the State of Illinois—more than five thousand, soldiers—should have to be summoned by the governor to restore law and order among a savage, mob-spirited citizenry who self-identify as people who claim to be loyal subject of a public form of government, and when we further consider that the city in which the disturbance occurred, contained a population numbering less than ten times the size of the troops engaged to quell the trouble, the enormity of the disgrace is all the more enhanced. We believe and assert that, as in the case with all forms of crime, the perpetrators should be brought to trial and punished according to law; but the practice of mob-spirit and must be obliterated from every nook and corner of these United States of America, if she would maintain the position which she holds among the civilized nations of the world.—Providence Advocate. Order has been re-established in Springfield, Ill., but Governor Denene has announced that no effort will be spared to punish the ringleaders of the riots and to vindicate the law. This the governor rightly regards as the next most important duty to that of actually punishing the ringleaders. In all such convictions as Springfield has passed through many offences are committed by persons who are confident that, after order has been restored, no fruitful organized effort will be made by the authorities to bring to account the offenders. This confidence may be justified on too many occasions, the degree of law feeling satisfied with having overcome actual riot, and making no systematic comprehensive investigation and prosecution afterward—Cambridge Advocate. "Serratch a Russian and you will find a Tartar," might be paraphrased to read: Scratch an American and you will find a savage Savage is too mild a term to apply to the citizens of Springfield, Ill., who last week, wreaked dire vengeance upon thousands of innocent, defenseless Negroes for the alleged brutal crime of one. There is not in the history of Indian warfare a deed more brutal, more shocking in details than the cold-blooded murder of decrepit old Donegan. For 50 years a citizen of Springfield; he was what is termed a "good" Negro. The only crime of which he was guilty was the possession of a black skin, for which he was no more responsible than the rivers which run down to the sea. His 50 years of exemplary citizenship counted for naught. His ownership of property raised him not an inch above the vagabond. His politeness, his soft answers turned not into a rude mob, which deaf to his appeal raised him, strung him up and fired his home while his terrified kin, cowering in dark corners feared so much as to utter a sound in protest against his dabalical murder. At the same time, in other parts of the city, black men and women, bent with the weight of years, shuffled along the streets on their way to mobilization points, where they could find a haven in the city. In fact, many of their repondent, in fact, most of them, find in their years of upright living, won the steem of their white brethren. But this was forgotten during the black days of horror when the blood crazed mob swept aside continued authority in the city made famous by the gregg emancipation, all too plausibly howIBLE is the form of government he did so much to say. The shame is not Springfield's alone. Her sister States can not, if they would, point the finger of scorn at Illinois. Neither the East nor the West, the North nor the South, may justly put on the bother than thou air. Each has its clash of races, each its period of longer or shorter duration when light fins and force was law. The shame is national, for the United States, like Russia, is unable to protect one class of its citizens against another, thereby exhibiting a weakness in its foundation which is among the greatest dangers to its stability. Charleston Advocate The recent riots and wholesale lynching of Negroes at Springfield, Illinois, has emphasized two important facts that have been discussed over and over again. one is that the spirit of mob violence section, the other is that State troopers reason of their sympathy with the mob, are wholly incompetent to restore order. The spread of mob violence all over the United States has been due solely to the fact that State authorities have tolerated mob violence. Even where State-officers have shown a disposition to put down the mob, they have received but little support from municipal police and State troops. Springfield, like other communities in the state, like other communities, has good citizens who take no part in the mor are they in sympathy with them. They describe such happenings, knowing that they reflect on their city where they live and who naturally suffer by the reflection the terrible consequences are condemned by the better, disposed, including the officers of the State and community, and who promise to take steward bringing at least the ring-leaders to justice. Society and civilization demand an accounting for such happenings or else it will be worse for society and civilization—Indianapolis Freeman. At Springfield the State utterly failed to protect the lives and property of innocent Negroes and whites who fell under the wrath of the mob. The injustice of punishing an entire community of Negroes for the guilty acts of robbery and murder, and disliking too much of Brownville, and displays a woeful sense of justice, that does no honor to the Caucasian. We repeat, that determined men could have prevented the trouble at Springfield. Had a squadron of cavalry from the regular army galloped into town at any time during the rioting, it might not have been possible. But no mob would have dispersed and the town would have become as quiet as a country graveyard. Why? Because the regular army shoots to kill, and no mob would dare to trifle with an organized body of men who mean business. State troops will never enjoy this respect as long as their sympathies are with the people. State governments will remain impotent as long as the militia is inefficient. Yonkers, Standard. --- The sporadic outbreak in Springfield, Illinois, which resulted in the lynching of Scott Burton, colored. Saturday morning before daylight and William H. Honigan, colored, eighty years of age and inoffensive, whose throat was cut and a rope tied through the wound will be a revelation to tens of thousands of people, who live on in fancied security, unmindful of the fact that the storm of lynching is now passing northward as the result of the lecture systems of Senator Benjamin Tillman with his ilk who urge an archaistic and venal rebellion elements throughout this republic to deeds of violence which will put these northern sections on a par with those of the Southland. It has been demonstrated too that the Northern communities are not as well prepared to cope with these outbreaks as some of our Southern cities seem to be. The alleged crime of a *Aegyro*, who is said to have committed an assault upon a white woman is not to be taken into consideration. These things are only taken as excuses for the lawless, violent and to bring shame and disgrace upon the communities in which they live. We have read with interest the reports as to the attitude of the State militia and it seems to us that politics was to an extent mixed up in the whole affair. The authorities seemed to be too amorous to avoid blood-shed and as a result of dallying with the mob other excesses followed. Seven were killed and 60 injured up to this writing. The English Illinois Regiment, a colored organization was not ordered to the scene of the disturbance. It may have been wisdom in one sense, but it was wisdom in another. Rifle to have been wrenched from the hands of some of the white soldiers. This would seem to indicate that it was known that the local militia would not fire on the mob. That it was surprised is evident by its demand that the soldier, who stabbed Earl Nelson, a white man, who boarded a troop train and attacked him shall be delivered up to the civil authorities for indictment and punishment. Governor Deneen has held that the soldier was in the discharge of his duty and the blood of the killed man was on his own head. The mob got the notion that because their soldiers, those residing in Springfield, were disinclined to shoot, that those outside of that city were "built the same way". Had the Eighth Illinois Regiment been ordered to Springfield, they would have serpulously obeyed orders and just the appearance of them would have convinced them of the truth that they were there too business. As a matter of fact no one man will stand before one of those high power rites now used by the National Guard unless he has secured a ticket to heaven with his luggage checked for the other world. But these officials at Springfield dallied with the mob and endeavored by a show of force to overweave the lawess elements. Much damage was done before the lawess elements saw a sufficient force to satisfy them that the guilty rioters and murderers would be punished. This brings us back to our offended declaration that the only proper way to deal with a mob is to shoot the life out of it. The ringleaders should be taken into custody, be the cost what is may. It seems that the indisposition of the State troop was more than counterbalanced in one case at least. Then it is the boldest thing done for the colored people so far as the newspaper reports are concerned. The launching disease and the orders of lawlessness cannot be confined to any one location any more than can a deadly disease be limited in its scope unless the proper means are taken to check it. The district attorney, Titus Hamm, district enforced to attain the North to a race war. He has arisen the worst prejudices and now we find the home of Abraham Lincoln in the throes of a race war, with the thieves, hirs and murderers losing stores and hanging innocent people. Besides the damage done the community in advertising it as a lawless locality, which damages estimated in dollars and cents will run up into millions of dollars we note that the troops alone are costing the State Station a day and the taxpayers will be burden upon to foot the bill. One thing has brought into prominence the chief executives of every Southern State from Virginia to Texas. Democratic Governors have done just what Governor Deneen of Illinois has done. Governor Swans of Virginia, with all of his Negro-hating notions prevented a lynching in Portsmouth, Va., just a few days before the trouble occurred in Illinois. We are frank to confess that we feel safer in Richmond after this surprising exile than we would in Sortingfield—Richmond Planet. TAFT LEABS IN CANVAS Judge Taft will receive a decisive majority over William Jennings Bryan for President in New York City, according to the New York Times, which has been making a straw vote canvass. Following the report published by the Times: "The Times continued its Presidential canvass last week. In considering results it must be remembered that only men employed or those who are employees were asked to mark a ballot, and that there are voters in the great army of the unemployed. As stated, the canvass is not wholly among workingmen—the rich employer marks his ballot, the clerk, and neither knows the political preference of the other." The canvas was made in Manhattan, the Bronx, and Astoria. It took in the big dry goods houses, the typewriter factory, the piano factory, the drug factory, the cigar factory, the publishing house, the wholesale butchers, the chemical house, the box factory, the brewery, and the gax fixture manufacture, so that the clerk, the salesman, the laborer, and the skilled artisan all contributed to the total. The ballot distributed was as follows: NEW YORK TIMES NEW YORK TIMES. Please indicate by a cross in front of which of the following Presidential candidates you will vote for: Tuft Leeds All Candidates So far the Republican candidate leads all the other candidates, notwithstanding the fact that New York is regarded as a safe Democratic city. In the Presidential election of 1904 Roosevelt had 42 per cent. of the vote: The Times canvass last week shows that Taft has a trifle over 52 per cent. of the ballots in the Democratic candidate of 1904, had 51 per cent. the city vote. From the figures of The Times canvass so fat Bryan has a little over 21 per cent. Four years ago there were two Socialist factions in the field, their combined vote being 20,010, or .057 per cent, of the whole. For years past the Socialist vote has been increasing. In the present canvass Dabs shows .102 per cent. of the whole, a considerable increase. Among the brewery employees the Socialist vote is overwhelming. Most of the men applaud the brewery would not mark a ballot, although expressing their intention to vote for Debs. In fact it would seem that the Socialists are afraid of putting themselves on record, even in a "straw vote." The same is true of the butcher, piano and cigar trades. While Taft seems to have no vote among the brewers, he is quite popular with the workmen of the three former trades. The dry goods district always was Republican, and is very much so to day. The changes in party are also noted. The Republicans have lost to Bryan and Hisgen. 00069 per cent. of the whole, but the Democrats have lost to the Republicans. 0041 per cent. of the whole. The Times reporter found many men who, were not eligible for their second papers of citizenship. They bewailed their inability to cast a vote at the coming election, and when asked why said they had been months out of work or on short time because business had been dull, they blamed the present Adminis-ration for their troubles. Some thought Bryan, if elected, would make matters worse. Political Club Organised in Interest of Republican Party. Missouri, L. I., Aug 26—Pursuant to a call of the Lakeville Colored Republican Campaign Clubs, a meeting was held at Similies' Hotel, New Hyde Park, a purpose, formulating plan for the campaign and to form a general organization of the county. Mr. Silas M. Smith called the meeting to order and stated the object and Mr. Daniel M. Hicks, Jr. and Mr. William Edwards were elected temporary chairman and secretary, respectively. The committee on credentials reported the following clubs represented by delegates: Lakeville, Miss. S. M. Smith, J. Smith, Richmond, Chapel of God, Chapel of God, Walker art; Chapel of God, Minola, Messrs. C. L. Lawton, Wm. Edwards and Arthur linton; Glen Coe, Messrs. D. M. Hicks, Jr. J. H. Williams, S. Simmons; Westbury, Mr. Elenzer Watches; Jaricho, Mr. Alfred Jackson. The permanent organization was formed and the following elected officers for the meeting year: President, Mr. M. Smith of Lakeville; 1st President, Mr. D. Hicks, Jr. Jr. of Glen Coe, and vice president, Mr. Jackson of Jaricho, secretary, Mr. Wm. Edwards of Minola, treasurer, Mr. C. J. Lawton, Wm. Edwards; assistant secretary, Mr. G. J. Smith, of Lakeville. The organization will be known as the Nassau League, having for its object the development and fostering of the principles of the Republican party; to promote interest in political affairs; to promote voters; to encourage attendance at political events; in the nomination of honest and capable candidates; to guard and defend the purity of the ballot and encourage a straight Republican vote of our members for candidates for public office; to promote the cause of good government; to secure recognition and representation; to perform all other work represented; to serve the interests of our members and party with which we affiliate. After a fine repast, adjourned to meet subject to the call of the chair at Mineola, L. When a bull market is on, when the prices of stocks are mounting upward day by day, it is then that the public is in a buying frame of mind, and it is then that the professional stock vender offers to that same public stocks in all kinds of wild-cat schemes. I have shouted from the housetops time; and again that the public let alone, for when one puts his money into them about all gets in return is a little piece of paper and a big piece of experience. That those who are inclined to buy stocks may know what to buy, I call to their attention as the first of the number of stocks which I shall recommend, The Mines Company of America. This company was incorporated in 1902, with a capital stock of $2,000,000; paired with the rest the West Colorado Mines, at Texas Mines, which has 15 mining claims comprising 564 acres in addition to surface rights to 7,000 acres. More than $000,000 has been spent on the plant at the mine. From October 1st, 1906, to September 30th, 1907, the mill crushed 67,497 ton of rock, the gross receipts from which was $1,163,356 and the net receipts available for dividends, $488,855. The ore was treated at a cost of $9 a ton, but has to be new equipment installed this cost. That means a cost of $9 a ton. That means that a larger percentage of the gross receipts in the future will be available for dividends. The dividend record of this company is a most remarkable one, which is as follows: Fifteen per cent in 1903; 18 per cent in 1904; 48 per cent in 1909; 31% per cent in 1906; 24 per cent in 1907; 24 per cent in 1908. It is now paying dividends at the rate of 2 per cent monthly, from 1902 to August, in dividends of $2,350,000 or more than 1 1/2 times its stock. It has a cash surplus of $00-208,66, besides $2,009,200 invested in the capital stock of other companies. In 1906 the price of the stock ranged from $1.18 to $3.25 per share, and from $1.25 to $2.625 per share in 1907. It is now selling around $1.50 per share, and at that price it yields a return of 16 per cent. on the investment. It is rumored that an extra dividend will be declared in the near future, and if that rumor proves true the price of the stock will much higher than the price at which it is sold. At any rate, I do not believe that any one who buys it at $1.50 per share will have cause to regret the investment. THE MINE COMPANY OF AMERICA is a Gold,Silver proposition. In my next article I shall tell of a good copper stock, for, in my opinion, those who put their money into good copper stocks now will be the ones to realize very large profits a few months hence. DEMAGOGUES SOUTH'S CURSE. Commercial Secretaries' Convention Hearts Protect Against Pollutants CRAVENWOOD, Tenn., August 25 — The inauguration of the Commercial Secretaries of the South was devoted principally to addresses by the secretaries of commercial organizations. C. G. Daw, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce of Montgomery, made the principal speech. In part he said: "Commercial bodies of the Southern States distrust demagogues and charge them with misleading our young men and some of our unthinking men of older years, so that they look upon the friend of the South as the enemy of the South. "In one of the Southern States is a man who is supposed to have designs upon the Government of his State. Under proper condition of excitement this will show at the top of his voice, that amusements constructed. The demagogic character of this man is found in the face that this man was not born during the Civil War, and would rise to power by keeping alive the duties that resulted from the most dreadful calamity in all Southern history, the death of Lincoln. "The monotonous vehicles voters in the one State of Alabama will be heard from now bewailing their own sins of omission for which the demagogue is a punishment. The commercial bodies will lead in the awakening. We distrust the demagogue; we despise the demagogue. He is not a friend to his country or to his time, and we here deride him as an unwhole-surface symptom of a vital purifying that is going on in the South." DELEGATES FOR TAFT Canvass Taken at Session of National Negro Business League BALTIMORE. August 25.—During the session of the National Negro Business League here Col. W. R. Rucker, collector of Internal Revenue, Atlanta, Ga., made a canvass of the political situation. A straw vote was taken among the delegates relative to their favorite candidate for the Presidency. It was found that there was nothing but Taft sentiment everywhere. Some delegates who had been lukewarm toward Judge Taft declared that after his speech of acceptance, declaring for the Negro opportunity and the observance of the war amendments had won them over beyond a doubt. It is wonderful how, despite the hard times, so much loose change appears on an occasion like this. This convention week has unearthed many secret tills. "Bruce Grit" drifted in town the first of the week from the wilds of Yonkera. It was explained to him that the excitement noticeable in the various colored sections of the city was due to the expectation of a few hundred visitors to the several conventions being held here. He hadn't heard of them. Oh, yes, and he runs a newspaper (?) up there in Yonkera, too. It is apparent that one or two white real estate firms are gradually usurping the business of renting in the Harlem district that was formerly almost exclusively in the hands of the colored agents. This is especially true in West 133d street and the adjoining blocks. Our attention was called to this only by a casual observation. If this is really true it is to be regretted. The matter goes further than the mere fact that two or three men are losing out in competing with the men of the other race. We believe that the men in the renting business in that vicinity are representative business men of the race and if they cannot successfully compete in renting and leasing these houses that are the finest type occupied by Negroes in the city there must be something radically wrong somewhere. Is it because some Negro tenants still prefer doing business with the white man or is it the fault of the Negro agent who has not yet learned how to conduct himself properly in such matters? It would be indeed a shame if this line of business should also be allowed to slip from the colored man's hands. Mr. Norman Richardson and his wife, Miss Hallie Anderson, are busily engaged remodelling the new Palace Hall. There is to be a balcony running around the entire four sides of the hall, with a seating capacity of 400. The management plans to make this a very popular resort this winter. The mariner in which the citizens responded to the doctors' request to help entertain the visiting delegates is an object lesson to those who say the professional men and laity are not in harmony. The doctors will always be grateful and there will be no more grumbling about the professional men not patronizing the colored business men—that is, we hope there won't be any occasion for such complaint.

BOSTON, August 24.—The last week of summer is witnessing an exodus from the city of many people prominent in professional and social life who are leaving to attend the various conventions which are being held this week. Unless Bostonians are very careful they may be compelled to resort to "home remedies" and other nostrums, for the ranks of the medical profession is greatly depleted by the absence of Drs. John B. Hall, C. N. Garland, B. E. Robinson, C. W. Harrison, H. W. Ross, S. E. Courtney, T. E. A. McCurdy, W. C. Lane, Frank Davis, W. A Cox and Eugene Wright. Dr. H. G.

As you said, we all know for what and why that bloody battle was fought between the States, and we know why we were slaves, so let it be buried so that our children—younger generation—won't be branded as we are to-day, as slaves. It seems to follow us like Banquo's ghost; it will not down; it tends to show that we are expecting to be pitted and petted as a child. It has been forty or more years since we became freemen, now let us try and make the best of the opportunity that comes within our reach. There is nothing ever gained by whimpering and fretting. Let us launch our boats and become factors in this mighty race for a high place among the men of the country. W. CLARK TOLBERT. New Orleans, August 21. Brooklyn, N. Y. Miss Fannie M.

Music and the Stage ```markdown ``` In New York City the "Salome" crane is raging. Of course there are other things demanding the attention of the populace, but the sensation of the hour is "Salome." For a short space of time you can hear the residents of Manhattan refer to "The Devil," which is being played at two theatres and drawing large houses; also of the race for the championship between New York and Pittburg National League baseball clubs; then mention is frequently made that Taft and Bryan are each making a strong fight in the Presidential race. But such incidents are considered secondary to "Salome," which is the chief topic of conversation. Just how much attention "Salome" is attracting can be readily judged when this week there are least seven dancers giving their respective versions of the dance at that number of theatres. At Hammerstein's Gertrude Hoffman is on the bill; Eva Tanguy is crowding them in at the Colonial Theatre; Isadora Duncan is entertaining at the Criterion Theatre in a dancing program; Aida Overton Walker is being featured this week in "Bandanna Land." La Sylph continues to please her audiences at the Fifth Avenue Theatre. At the Casino Theatre one of the successes of the "Minic World" is the "Salome" dance, and at Huber's Theatre Vera Olcott has been the hit of the bill in the sentational dance for weeks. Gertrude Hoffman, Eva Tangtay and several dancers have been appearing in "Salome" for near two months. Aida Overton Walker was the latest to give her interpretation of how it should be danced. This week at the Grand Opera House, where Williams & Walker are playing, the public is informed that "Salome" is an extra attraction—a feature of the show. Monday evening a large audience greeted the popular actress, and there is not much doubt that the "S. R. O." sign was due to the previous announcement that "Salome" would be danced by Aida Overton Walker. It is hardly possible for us to say that Aida Overton Walker will be a sensational success in New York City in "Salome"; neither do we think she would "go big" (to use the vernacular of the stage) in the dance outside of New York City. While her attempt is a very ambitious one, it is not likely that she will create any unusual flurry over her version of the celebrated dance. Much could be said about the staging of "Salome." Eva Tanguay, Gertrude Hoffman and the other dancers cannot boast of a more pretentious stage setting. The costume worn by Aida Overton Walker, the music, which, by the way, was composed by Joe Jordan, all come up to expectation, but in a comparison with some of the other dancers Miss Walker's interpretation showed to a disadvantage. After all, "Salome" is a dance of contortions, accompanied by an exhibition of varied facial expressions, in which the dancer is supposed to show emotions of joy and terror at certain intervals. As to the facial expressions of Aida Overton Walker they were very good; in fact, her face gave a more intelligent exhibition of the dance than her body. The other dancers the writer has seen in "Salome" danced more with their body. Of course by so doing there was more of a vulgar suggestiveness. In this particular instance Miss Walker should be congratulated on her desire to make "Salome" a cleaner dance and void of suggestiveness, but in so doing she gives a version that is mild in comparison with Gertrude Hoffman, La Sylph and others: for some of these dancers at times remind one of a burlesque show—yet they say this is the original interpretation of "Salome." "Salome" is not a new dance. In 1904 Isadora Duncan and Marie Madeline created a sensation in Berlin and Munich by giving different versions of the dance. The theatres and newspapers of Berlin and Munich recked in 1904 and 1905 with the war of the dancers. Miss Duncan sought to make visible the beauty of old verses by Sophocles by artistic circle winnering interminally onward. On the other hand, Marie Madeline's specialty was dancing in a trance. Learned persons were invited upon the platform to pinch her calves and convince themselves of her unconscious state. Such a rivalry was created between the two dancers that each created a large following of her own. In this country "Salome" will not prove the sensation it did abroad. New York and possibly a few other large cities might become affected by the "Salome" craze, but there is too much suggestion of vulgarity about the dance to commend it to hundreds of theatre-goers. We all are glad to note the ambition achieved by Aida Overton Walker to do something along artistic lines. She has been so highly successful in dances of her own creation that we regret that she has sought to make a grand success in something where a brilliant success has been already attained. There is nothing like being original. "Salome" became a craze abound because it appealed to the temperament of the people. More than likely it is a success in New York City because it was a success abound. There is too much imitating being done nowadays. When a certain song becomes a hit-every song writer endeavors to write a similar one; the same thing applies to playwriting and dances. But hard as the others try it is seldom that they are as successful as the originators. In Aida Overton Walker we have one of the most graceful dancers on the stage to-day—barring none. Every move she makes while dancing is a picture. That she is exceedingly popular goes without saying. However, if she desires to prove a sensation in her work she must continue to create as she has done. It was the cake-walk, which is now in America something of the past, but which in Europe is even the rage to-day that showed the possibilities of the Negro on the stage. There may not have been such an artistic effort shown in the cake-walk, yet it was originated by the Negro and became a fad in two continents. During the life of the cake-walk Aida Overton Walker was one who assisted in making it popular. As a race we are oftimes put to a disadvantage because of our racial identity; but we can also reverse matters and gain success because we are Negroes. There is much that we can do in the idealization of the race that will prove to the world that we possess individuality and characteristics that are admirable. The stage is doing much and can do more toward showing the good traits and capabilities within us as a race. The cake-walk evidenced what success we could obtain by originating something peculiar to ourselves. No white performer ever came into prominence walking for the cake. On the other hand, it is doubtful if any colored artist will make a sensation in a dance created by a white performer. Their respective performances may be mediocre, but they will never startle the world, so to speak. Aida Overton Walker, as talented as she is, can create dances (and artistic ones at that) which will create as much furore as did the cake-walk; but not in "Salome." SALOME DINNER DANCE. Tale of London Society Women Dining in Mouge Allam Undrens. BRUNW, Aug. 26.—As evidence of the "insidious effect" Maud Allan, Isadora Duncan, and other American "classic" dancers are having upon public morals in England, the British delegates, at the International Dancing Congress, which has just ended in Berlin, have been telling a remarkable story, which they vouched for in every particular. If a stormy debate on the subject of classical dancing had not been choked off by the chairman of the congress, with a view of preserving international peace, the story would have been sprung at one of the sessions. It seems that Miss Allan's Salome dances have so fired the imagination of London society women that one of the great hostesses of the metropolis: a few weeks ago issued invitations to twenty or thirty ladies whose names figure in court and other fashionable lists, to attend a "Masud Allan" dinner dance, which would be undesecrated by the presence of any man, and at which the guests were bidden to appear in Salome costumes. The idea created intense interest and much enthusiasm among those honored with invitations. Each of the ladies proceeded to outlive her sisters in providing herself with a costume matching in all details the undress effect of Miss Allan's scanty attire. The party passed off successfully, and beyond the hostess's fondest expectations. Dinner was served to an accompaniment of Salome music tinkled by an orchestra hidden discreetly behind the fortification of palms and flowers, and when the coffee and cigarette stage had been reached some of the most graceful members of the party demonstrated that they had not only succeeded in matching Miss Allan's costume, but had learned some of her most captivating steps in movements. It was the intention of the British delegates to the international terpichorean conference to tell this story in horror-stricken accents, as convincing proof that the classical dances make for public immorality. CARUSO WINS WAGER. Bet That No One Would Know Him in Paris. PARIS, August 25 — Enrico Caruso, his wife having deserted him, was in Paris one or two days last week at the Grand Hotel. One day he was sitting at a table with a friend in the Café de la Paix at the corner near the Place de l'Opéra—perhaps the busiest place in Paris. "I don't believe any one in Paris knows me," said the tenor. "Ive sung here so little." The friend demurred, but Caruso offered to make a wager that nobody would recognize him in one hour. The friend took the wager, but lost. Of all the people who passed none took the slightest notice of the tenor, who sat with his hat off. When the hour was up the friend spoke to a waiter who was bringing him drinks. "This is the famous Caruso," he said. "Ah," exclaimed the waiter, looking bewildered; and then questioned: "Is he with the Italian Embassy?" The friend of Caruso tells me that he is really heartbroken over his wife's clopeam, and would welcome her back with open arms. "His assertion that he is glad she has left him and all that is more pretence," said my informant. "I shouldn't be surprised to find he was looking for her now in the hope of winning her back." BEERBOHM TREES "FAUST." Vernon by Stephen Phillips and Comyns Carr to Be Given at His Majesty's. Loynow, August 26.—Considerable interest centres in the forthcoming production of "Faust" by Beerbolm Tree at His Majesty's Theatre. This new version by Stephen Phillips and Comyns Carr of Goethe's story is said to be the boldest of the many English renderings of the famous poem. In Mr. Tree's opinion the drama, as written by Goethe, is unsuited for stage production; the theme is too vast and the range of acre and action is too wide THE NEW YORK AGE.

CLEO DESMOND --- for the concentrated production required by the physical limitations of a practical theatre. The adapters, therefore, aimed at presenting the story of Faust and Margaret in simple, direct dramatic lines. They take the first part practically as it stands, rounding it off with Goethe's own concluding lines, proclaiming the redemption of man through self-sacrifice and the influence of a pure woman's soil. Mephistopheles will not be altogether deprived of supernatural powers, but he appears on earth-in human garb, a man of the world, reveling with martonic humor in the foibles and frailties of humanity, yet never quite losing the character of a fallen angel. Mr. Tree of course will play Mephistopheles, while the Margaret will be Marie Lohr, the 18-year-old actress who CLEO DES sprang into fame in "My Wife." The Faust will be Henry Ainley, the handsome husband of Constance Sheldon. WOMAN . LEADS ORCHESTRA. Meredith's Daughter-in-Law. Saves Concert When Conductor in Taken Ill. Losnow, August 26—Mrs. Meredith, daughter-in-law of George Meredith, the author, whose musical abilities are well known, appealed in the role of a public conductor last week at Herrowgate, owing to the illness of the regular conductor of the Municipal Orchestra. Mrs. Meredith took up the baton and led the band through the program, which included two new works and several songs composed by herself. GERALD TYLER GIVES RECITAL Appears at the Residence of County Recorder at Columbus. COLUMBUS, August 24. -Gerald Tyler gave a recital recently at the home of County Recorder W. T. Pierson which proved to be an artistic success. In speaking the affair, the Columbus Dispatch said: Those who had previously listened to him were unanimous in their praise of the artistic development, so manifestly certain, as to excite almost unbounded enthusiasm, and not until he had sung more than thirty songs, including a cycle, besides the rendition of a number of the classics on the piano, could the desires be sufficiently satiated to bid a reluctant farewell. The home was tastefully decorated and dainty refreshments served. Misses Mabel and Fay Pierson were assisted in the serving by the Misses Mary Schaad and Lucile Belmont. STOCK COMPANY OPENS SEPT. 6. Several Well Known Performers Have Been Secured. CHICAGO, August 26—So great have been the throngs nightly to see the lady minstrels and big vaudeville going on at the Pekin that policemen have been detailed to keep the crowd from blocking the sidewalk in front of the house. This style of entertainment has caught on immensely with the Pekinites. One white act has held the bords in vaudeville for the past week, and they all seem to have been received by the patrons. A big act opened this week. Mair Dale and De Armond and company change their act twice a week Monday they opened in a new act entitled "Scenes on a race track." Change their act on Thursday in a comedy skit entitled "Will's Visit." Both proved very entertaining. This house is undergoing numerous improvements for the opening of the season. The Tobly is being enlarged into one of the finest lobbies in the city. New chairs in the boxes, new carpets, beautiful electrical decorations. A strong stock company has been engaged for the opening consisting of Wise and Milton, the famous Golden Gate Quintette, Caroline Boyd, singer; Gate Quintette, Caroline Boyd, singer; Lamar, comedian; Jim Ousley, comedian; Minnie Carrultures, soprano; Lottie Grady, and a big chorus of twenty singers and dancers. The policy of the house this season will be entirely different than from any previous one, as two 'shows' will be given nightly. Prices also have been changed, the entire lower floor being 15 cents, gallery 10 cents. All box and lodge seats 25 cents. NEW FACES IN "BANDANNA LAND" Beside the daring of "Salome" for the first time is "Bandanna Land" Monday evening there were several other new features. It marked the first appearance of Anita Wilkins with the company. She is singing the "Red, Red Rose," which was sung last season by Abbie Mitchell. As a whole her first appearance was a success. As is usually the case she displayed signs of nervousness which affected her work to a small degree. Miss Wilkins has a very sweet voice, in fact, it is sweeter than Abbie Mitchell's, but she lacks the artistic temperment possessed by the latter. We feel sure, however, that under the direction of Will Marion Cook Wilkiffs will not be lacking in temperament long. Monday evening she made a high note that sounded like "D," and she was compelled to make it "a" second time. Muriel Ringgold is a pleasing addition to the show, and John Hill is making more of a success in his part this season than even last. He is doing very good work. We thought the show very good last season, but it is even better this season. There are only two protests the writer would like to enter. First, we do not see enough of Aida Overton Walker, who has given her lines to Muriel Ringgold, and secondly, that the show is too long and should be cut. FUNERAL OF TOM LOGAN. Remains Shipped to Kansas City— Burial by the Freem. The funeral of Tom Logan, well-known performer, who died Tuesday evening, August 18, was held last Friday from the chapel of the C. Franklin Carr Burial Company. 266. West 63d street. Services were conducted by Rev. C. L. Brown. Many friends of the deceased, including members of the theatrical profession, the Masons and the Elks, with which he was connected, attended the funeral. After she services the remains were shipped to the mother of the deceased in Kansas City, Mo. Although he was not a Frog that organization took charge of the body and had it shipped to Kansas City. Tom Logan was held in high esteem by all. He was prominently identified with the theatrical profession, and last season was stage manager of the Smart Set company, besides playing one of the principal roles. LESS HOSTILITY SHOWN THE THEATRE. Question Raised as to What Will Church's Attitude Be in Future. Recently the Congregationalist and Christian World, published in New York, devoted considerable space to an article on the changing, attitude of the church to the theatre. According to the writer there is less hostility shown the theatre to-day than some years ago. The article is: "Protestant churches have for generations held an antagonistic attitude toward the theatre as an institution. It is still classed by evangelists with the other three great temptations which they say destroy the multitudes of souls—the wine-cup, the dance, and the card-table. In recent years less hostility has been expressed by aggressive Christians toward the theatre than formerly, though it is still tabooed by several religious denominations. It remains under 'the han in the Methodist Episcopal Book of Discipline. In England this season, however, the theatre has been adopted by the Free Churches as a teaching agency, and with unexpected success. The 'Pageant of Darkness and Light,' connected with the 'Orient in London,' was in every respect a spectacular theatrical performance. The London Missionary Society, when it decided to present the piece, did wisely in putting the management of it into professional hands. It was staged superbly by an experienced theatrical manager. The training of the performers were entrusted to persons who knew their business, and enough of professional actors were employed to save it from an appearance of amateurishness. The pageant succeeded on its own merits. It would have drawn crowded audiences in any theatre in any city in England, quite apart from its connection with missions. * * * To multitudes not accustomed to attend the theatre it was, a revelation, and it was interesting to watch their faces. Unless we are much mistaken, there were hundreds and perhaps thousands of young people in the daily audiences who will go to the theatre hereafter who had not before been much interested in it. The singing of 'Old Hundred' by a great chorus deploying on the stage, following that, magnificent stage spectacle of the Hawkins volcano, the brave queen and her attendants daring the wrath of their god, jarred on some ear, but seemed to many in entire harmony with what had gone before, and no doubt hundreds of thousands have been taught the meaning and glory of missions by the theatre as they never would have been taught by the pulpit, the Sunday School, or the missionary concert. The question raised is 'What will hereafter be the attitude of the churches toward the theatre as an institution?' THEATRICAL JOTTINGS. "The Watermelon Trust" is at Shea's, Buffalo.

NEWS OF ODD FELLOWS Alpha Lodge, 1381, which owned and occupied the building 129 Nassau street, Brooklyn, as a hall for more than twenty-five years, has sold it to the city and will move to temporary quarters, 119 Lawrence street. The location and house temporarily leased are not what was desired. It is said that Alpha Lodge, through its P. S., Edward Henry, did well financially in the sale of its property and will have quite a large amount to purchase elsewhere. District Grand Treasurer Thess Poole has been kept busy lately. We understand he is hard to find, otherwise than at the meetings of Mt. Zion Lodge, 1870. He was exported in Manhattan Friday night to attend the meeting of the delegates. As he did not put in an appearance it was rumored he was busy looking after the widows of the lodge in the great City of Churches. We know if you desire to learn of the whereabouts of many of them all you have to do is ask Brother Titless. It is remarkable how long our good brother remains a widower; something, will drop soon and great will be the fall. Morning Star Lodge, 1470, under the leadership of its P. S., is keeping up to its standard this summer. Everything thereabout is life and activity. It is said that the P. S. serves the members with ginger ale to keep them spurred up. This lodge a few years ago was nearly ready to close shop. Now it is forging ahead of all others in the Borough of Brooklyn and soon will be the banner lodge. At the meeting of the delegates held on Friday evening at 160 West 90th street, a very large number of delegates were present and seemed enthusiastic over the coming B. M. C. The expected contest for the officers of the delegation faded away like a shadow. The following were elected: Brothers James F. Adair, 1363, Chairman; Chas. S. Lewis, 1470, secretary; Jos. F. Pritchard, 1864, treasurer. One of the features of the meeting was the report of the picnic committee, which reported having over one hundred dollars. The proceeds of the picnic are to be turned over to the delegation for their support and maintenance of headquarters at Atlantic City. New York's favorite son, W. David Brown, was chosen unanimously as New York's choice for the office of grand treasurer. All delegates present pledged themselves to work for his nomination and election at the coming B. M. C. Quite a number of delegates from out of the city were present, among whom were Brothers W. H. Myers, 1941, Nyack; S. Giddings, 1520, Yonkers; Edward Morgan, 5546, Hillburn; Rev. J. W. Griffin, Staten Island. It is reported that Brooklyn Patriarchie, under the leadership of Brother E. W. Gassaway, is making preparations to take part in the great parade in Atlantic City on September 17th. Great things are expected from Brooklyn. It is said that the New York Patriarchie had better look out and keep stepping. for Brooklyn is coming fifty swords strong and out to win the prize. The committee appointed from Morning Star Lodge, 1470, to organize and drill the association formed at Coney Island to be instituted into an Odd Fellows Lodge, is progressing nicely with its work. They speak very favorably of the men who are joining the association and expect to make them into a Lodge about the first part of the winter. All delegates and friends who expect to leave for Atlantic City Sandy, September 13, are requested to notify Jas. F. Adair, chairman, so arrangements can be made for private coaches to accommodate the party. The time the train will leave and over what road will appear in the next issue of this paper. LYNCH LAW IS CONDEMNED thing that carried the gravest menace to the kingdoms of the old world. For all monarchies and aristocracies are based upon the assumption that moral character is determined by heredity. The state politics of the old world were safe from the shocks of democratic revolution only so long as society at large rested under the general persuasion that the legitimate kind could do no wrong, that the noble-born would behave nobly, and that men of base blood must continue to be base. Now we know for a fact, from some centuries of experience, that all that is unmitigated nonsense. People who insist that "blood will tell" have bloodied up the world quite long enough. Over against the European "college of heraldry" America has erected the public school." And if there is a single fundamental idea that we as a nation are committed so, it is the idea that moral character is not determined by heredity, but by education. Bring up a black child, or a white one, in an atmosphere of suspicion, hate, idleness and general rascism and he will turn out "bad"; bring him up so soberly, happily and industriously and he will turn out "good." The Negro servants who kept such faithful watch and ward over the women of a million masterless households in the South during the dreadful war years were not monsters of lust and murder. And if any are that now, it is due to their abominable miseducation, for which neither their sentimental friends nor their censorious enemies are wholly irresponsible. The question of "social equality" is beside the mark. That will settle itself in process of time, if only we can get rid of this antediluvian notion that moral character is determined by heredity. We must quit moralizing and generalizing about Negroes en masse. There are about as many kinds of Negroes as Russians or Frenchmen. And every single man of them all has a right to be hanged or acquitted on his own case. In Springfield the question whether a Negro really did assault a white woman must not be complicated with the question whether a hundred harmless Negro households were entraged by a white mob. The fat augurs of Pultocracy may well shake their sides in exultation at our stubborn atavistic race prejudices. For privilege has never loosened the clutch of its hand on any country so long on the sums of the people have believed this withering lie—that character is determined by hardship. (From the Cleveland Press) In this Presidential year, when the politicianess of every party are seeking office, we shall doubtless hear much of the words "law" and "right" and "justice." Doubtless some of our campaign orators will quote—as they often do—a national document which is extremely fashionable in campaign years, and which says: "All men are endowed with certain inalienable rights—among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." And yet— Night before last, in the capital city of one of the greatest of the Staten, a citizen living under this very constitution met death in this manner. The man's name was William Donigan. For many years he had made a living for himself and his wife and children by mending shoes in a humble shop two blocks from the State House of Illinois. There he was stoned and as he staggered he was seized by the men who made up this mob. Next William Donigan's throat was cut. A rope was then run through the wound, and the victim was bound to a tree. What was the offense of this feeble gray-haired man of 80 that he should be driven from his shoemaker's bench and tortured? He was a Negro; and in the city where he, a simple, inoffensive man, had lived for years, another Negro whom he did not know and perhaps had never seen, had been accused of assault against a woman. White men have committed the same crime in that same city; but no white William Donigan was ever lynched for another man's offenses. Seventy-one years ago, in this same Springfield, Ill, then a little Western frontier town, a young men's lyeum used to meet on winter evenings to discuss public questions. On January 27, 1837, the topic for the evening's discussion was "The Perpetuation of Our Political Institutions." At Vickiburg, a few months before, a mob had lynched a number of white men, and in St. Louis, a few weeks before, a Negro, about to be executed for murder, was seized by a mob, dragged through the streets and lynched. The young men of the Springfield lyceum on this particular evening discussed these matters. The principal speech of the evening was made by an awkward, rawboned young man who had recently come to the little town, and who had only that year been admitted to the bar. This young man said, among many other interesting things, that evening: "The innocent, those who have ever set their faces against violations of law in every shape, alike with the guilty, fall victims to the ravages of mob law; and thus it goes on step by step, till all the walls erected for the defense of the persons and property of individuals are trodden down and disregarded. "By the perpetrators of such acts going unpinned, the lawless in spirit are encouraged to become lawless in practice; and having been used to no restraint but dread of punishment, they thus become absolutely unrestrained. "By the operation of the mobocratic spirit, the strongest bulwark of any government, and particularly of those constituted like ours, may be effectually broken down and destroyed—I mean the attachment of the people. "All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined with all the treasures of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest, with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force take a drink from the Ohio or make a track on the Blue Ridge in a trial of a thousand years. "If danger ever reaches us, it must spring up among us; it cannot come from abroad. As a nation of freemen we must live through all time, or die by suicide." Seventy-one years after this speech was made by this awkward young lawyer, a mob of citizens cut the throat of another citizen who was innocent of crime—and then they ran a rope through his gaping wound. And this was done within earshot of the grave of that young lawyer, Abraham Lincoln, who later became the sixteenth President of the United States and emancipator of the Negro slave. In 71 years we ought to have become civilized, but we haven't. In 71 years we ought to have learned the horror of hanging, burning and riddling with bullets, during every Presidential term, one thousand victims of lynch law. But we haven't. Looking at this latest outbreak at Springfield, it seems impossible that a courageous governor, seated in his State House, and with thousands of militia at his beck, could not have stopped rioting such as this before it ran three days. Governor Deceen can only redeem himself by seeing that all the members of the Springfield mobs are brought to justice New Haven, Conn. New Haven, Aug. 26—The annual convention of the New England Sunday Schools of Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church will convene Thursday, the 27th inst., in Attleboro, Mass., and continue until the 13th inclusive. The delegates from the church are Miss Bessie Biddle, of the Christian Endeavor Society and secretary of the convention, and Miss Elsie Thompson from the Sunday School. They will be accompanied by Mr. George Biddle, a native of the town. Miss Alice Davis, of Hartford, spent a pleasant visit of three days last week with Miss Edna Biddle, of 167 Goffe street: Rev. Mr. Chinn, pastor of John Wesley M. E. Church, and Rev. Mr. Hollis, pastor of St Paul's U.A. M. E.

Martin, of this city, and her sister, Mrs. William Cross, of Hartford, have returned from a visit to Pittsfield, Great Barrington, Lake George and the foot of the Adirondacks. Mr. Stephen Handy, of Hudson street, is ill. Mrs. Laura Frazier, of 10 Webster street, who is sick, was taken to Springfield farm last week. Letter carrier and Mrs. Jacob H. Anderson, of Stapleton, N. Y., are visiting relatives and friends in Highwood. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson were entertained at tea last Saturday evening by Letter carrier and Mrs. Louis A. Fenderson at their new home, 458 Elm street. Madame E.
