The Palladium

THE PALLADIUM. Vol. XIX No. 9. DR. D. P. who was selected Chairman of the 178,000 Negroes in Misson and distinguish THE CHURCH DR. D. P. ROBERTS, who was selected Chairman of the Committee to present the claims of 178,000 Negroes in Missionri, which he did in most able and distinguished manner. The Jim Crow Car Bill. Last Monday night prominent Negroes from all sections of the State of Missouri boarded trains for Jefferson City. Their object was to protest against the passage of the Jim Crow Car Bill, introduced into the Legislature by Col. John Crisp, of Jackson County. The representatives of the 178,-000 Negroes of Missouri met at the A. M. E. Church on Tuesday morning and made their final arrangements for the hearing which was to be given them that evening. C. H. Tandy, of this city, called the meeting to order, and upon motion was elected Chairman of the Committee. Rev. J. C. Colwell, of Independence, Mo., was elected Secretary. The meeting promptly settled down to business. Dr. D. P. Roberts was elected Chairman of the Committee which would speak to the House Committee on Railroads. Promptly at 7:30 p. m. the Committee met at the Hall of the Missouri House of Representatives. Such a vast audience never convened before. The hall was literally packed. Prominent Negroes from all sections of the country assembled, displaying great interest in the proceedings. The excitement which seemed to animate every Negro present proved to what depth even the suggestion of the Jim Crow Car effected him. Among those who represented St. Louis were Dr. D. P. Roberts, G. B. Vashon, C. H. Tandy, O. J. W. Scott, of Kansas City, W. H. Farmer, Nelson Crews and J. Milton Turner. Dr. Roberts was the first speaker in opposition to the bill. His address left a lasting impression upon all who heard it. The earnestness of his appeal greatly enthused those of the Committee of Railroads as well as the members of his own race. Dr. Roberts spoke the sentiments of the thousands as effectually as if the entire race had spoken unanimously. In fact, all of the delegates from St. Louis surprised the Committee of Railroads and the entire audience by the commendable display of oratory. Lon Williams, one of the first speakers in favor of the bill, endeavoured to prove that the bill was not merely the desire of any individual, but of the State in general. Mr. Williams was followed by Mr. Wallace of Ralls, who impressed his hearers as being somewhat of an enigma. He refuses to accept pay for Sunday work as a Representative, from religious principles, it is presumed, but still exerts himself to the utmost to secure the passage of a bill which displays anything but a Christian feeling. His chief point was the liquor-habit among Negroes. He was answered on that point by J. Milton Turner, who proved to the amusement of the audience and the diecomfiture of Ms. Wallace, that Negroes did not stand alone in fondness of liquor. Col. Crisp spoke next. He said there was no political issue in view in connection with the bill. He said Republicans were far more desirous of its passage than Democrats. During the course of his speech he remarked quite enthusiastically: "If I were a Negro, I'd be a Republican; if I were an Irishman I'd be a Democrat." Col. Crisp's shot went home, for here and there among the audience could be seen a hurried snatching of coat lapels by Negro Democrats to hide from view their Democratic badges. Col. Crisp, although a very able speaker, failed to prove any logical causes for the passage of the bill. Col. Crisp, during the argument, said that if it were not for the presence of ladies he would produce statistics which would put his race to shame, referring to the mixture of races. CAPT. C. H. TANDY. who was elected Chairman of the Delegation from all parts of the State which met in Jefferson City. He is the best known Negro that is now in the State. O H. Tandy answered him by reminding him that the same blood flowed in his (Tandy's) veins that flowed in Col. Crisp's. For this remark, Tandy was hissed. Later, however, during his speech he received great aplause. Col. Crisp showed his vindictive spirit when one of St. Louis' representatives asked him whether the Jim Crow Car Bill referred to street cars. He replied emphatically: "Yes, it refers to street cars and means a final separation of the races, and if you don't support it, you can go to the Negro race, and I doubt whether they will receive you." Col. Crisp displayed his claws unwarily in that one sentence. The audience had been wondering all evening just what attitude he maintained toward the Negro race, but that one sentence exposed him. Upon the whole, the meeting spoke well for the Negro race. If those of the House Committee and some of the audience would but acknowledge it, the Negro representatives far surpassed their white opponents. The House pestponed the decision for further consideration. ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1903. Among those who attended the session were: Rev. Peck of St. Charles, Mr. J. H. Chaney. Silas J. Harris, I. Wheeler, Thos. J. Campbell, W. B Steward, Crittenden Clark, J. L Cohen, P. H. Murray, J. D. Miller, F. F. Scott, Mr. Carter, J. W. Wheeler, all of St. Louis. Mr. J. W. Baldwin, of Kansas City, Mo.; Rev. Brown, of Jefferson City; Prof. B. F. Allen, of Lincoln Institute; President Scruggs, of Macon, Mo. The delegates of the Jefferson Club were: Jeff Smith, Geo. Williams, James Jackson, Max Cunningham and Chas. Scott. THE VEILED LADY. Read what she has to say each week. ABRAHAM LINCOLN. How odd that Abraham Lincoln's name should now be brought before the public when the race he feed is again causing turmoil? His supposed slayer, in the person of D. E. George, committed suicide, thus bringing to memory the brutal assassination of Lincoln. With the Negro appointments to office and the proposed passage of the Jim Crow Car Bill, comes the recollection of Lincoln. It seems as if his voice, long silent, would speak again to the people in defense of the race for which he died. ONE YEAR'S SUBSCRIPTION We will send the Palladium free of charge for one year to any Negro man or woman who patronizes only those business men who advertise in colored newspapers. There are some grocery and dry goods stores around Market street and Jefferson avenue that Negro men ought not to deal with. If you want to know, look through the St. Louis Advance, Eagle and Palladium, and if these papers do not contain their advertisements, do not trade with them. If they do not send the Colored Orphans something and show no tendency whatever to assist the Negro, don't patronize them. Get your meats at Mauer - Meat Market at 8 and 10 S.

A DISGRACE.—There are a number of girls who come home from school and the first thing they do is to go to the butcher or grocery shops and stand and gab with the men in charge. The mothers of these girls ought to be careful, before it is too late. A colored girl should maintain her dignity in her dealings with men in various stores. "Familiarity breeds contempt."

Miss Townsend was a pupil in the Sumner High School for the past two years. The family lived at 2221 Clark avenue. Last year she moved with her mother to East St Louis. She still attended Sumner but school life became too irksome, so she entered the matrimonial life and today she is a happy young lady whose future we hope will be strewed with flowers.

Loving words will cost but little, Journeying up the hill of life; But they make the weak and weary Stronger, braver for the strife. Do you count them only trifles? What to earth are sun and rain? Never was a kind word wasted, Never one was said in vain. When the cares of life are many, And its burdens heavy grow, Think of weak ones close beside you— If you love them, tell them so. What you count of little value So, as up life's hill we journey, Let use scatter all the way Kindly words, for they are sunshine In the dark and cloudy day. Grudge no loving word or action As along through life you go. There are weary ones around you— If you love them, tell them so. —Mollie L. Clayton. A WOMAN'S REASON. A WOMAN'S REASON.

One has got her mother's eyes, Blue and tender as the skies, With the same clear smile of patience, even tears may not disguise; And the rounded cheek and chin That the dimple nestles in, And the dainty hand, so sweet to woo and win. And the other—well, they say That he has his father's way Of being very serious, or being very gay— That he either cries his best, Or laughs his merriest.— And I haven't heart to tell you half the rest. Look at her! And look at him! Talk about the Cherubim! Roll 'em up in dreams together, rosy arm and chubby limb! O, we love 'em as the bees Love the blossoms of the trees, As they loll upon the bosom of the breeze! THE CONFEDERATE BILL Representing nothing on God's earth now And naught in the water below it.

ANDY McGREW AS A MAN: Probably no one man in St. Louis, or any other place for that matter, ever tried to attend to as many people's business as has Andy McGrew. When Mr. Hayes was post master in St. Louis McGrew tried to dictate numerous shifts among employees, which caused no small amount of discord and trouble. We have nothing personally against McGrew, but years of acquaintance with this man has caused us as well as numbers of others to grow tired of his unceasing and obnoxious ways, and we mean to uncover this man and let the public see him as he really is. For twenty years Andy McGrew has been one continual source of trouble to office holders in St. Louis, and he has ever used a shield to protect himself in case of bad results. In his present venture to shine as a purifier McGrew has shoved one W. W. Howard to the front as the real accuser. Howard is a man densely ignorant and his mental condition will not permit him to see the danger rising from such serious affairs. For the past eight months employees of the Federal building have been noting the meetings composed of McGrew, Pat Clark, Tatum and Howard, held in the corridor of the Custom House just outside the sub-treasury door. These meetings have become the chief topic among the employees, it being evident that some plot or scheme was under way. These meetings have been known to last from ten minutes to an hour, and were held almost daily. During this same period, including the present time, women from the Post-Office and elsewhere have called McGrew at the sub-treasury daily, One young woman calls from one to four times each day, on the 5th day of December 1902 she called six times on the inacade Andy. These facts are known and can easily be verified by a call on the second floor of the Custom House. A personal friend of Mcgrew said in referring to him "I believe it impossible for Andy to tell the truth and if he should tell the truth by accident I think he would apologize. Why does the treasury Department and the Civil Service Commission tolerate in their employee a man so putrid as Mcgrew? The malise of Clark and Tatum and the ignorant action of Howard are indirectly the products of the brain of the shrewd and slippery Andy. Mcgrew is an ingrate and a seandal monger and the people want no more of him, he has long since become a stench to the nostrils of the public and a hindrance to progressive humanity. POINTERS. Look out for them, Andy Mcgrew, W. W. Howard, J. D. Miller, J. J. Tatum, Fickler he is gone, The big four, which is which and who goes next? Mcgrew also has a penchant for borrowing money. He probably owes more money now than he intends to repay this side of the Jordan. We wonder if his friends in the Post-Office have realized anything from their investments Howard, Mcgrew's twin has returned from Washington where he went to confer with the President about Western appointments. We are however constrained to believe that the President did not invite Howard, hence the failure of that gentlemen to lay his greivances before the chief executive. LOOK OUT! Look out for the Palladium next week full particulars of a sensational case. We shall also pay our respect to a recently matured scheme of "The St. Louis Censor. Next week the Palladium will contain a pen picture of Andy Megrew and W. W. Howard the two arch schemers in the Post-Office wrangle. EMPLOYMENT. Andy and Howard will soon be employed by Street and Walker. HOWARD W. W. Howard is described as a large bladder filled with ignorance and cheek.

But the ingrate, who like a leach sucks the blood of his existance from the veins of his bene- factor, then tarns like a slimy poison- ous viper and sinks deep the fangs of ingratitade into the honor and-charact- er of the man who supported him when a weakling, thie man whose heart is black with perfidity and dishonor: can never hope for forgiveness. ‘No country, city or village welcomes the presence ofsuch aman.

Andy McGrew, the aren schemer in this plack and nefarious plot, is @ natural ingrate, born so, and unchanged by association. Years ago General B.G. Farrar took MeGrew from the streets, a ragged, starving mass of humanity: and gave him one of the best positions in hie office. Not only did he do thie, but hie wife sent food and clothing to ‘the junior MeGrews. MeGrew grew fat in his new birth and just three years later he began a relent- Jess war on General Farrar when that gentleman came up for reappointment. Even now docs McGrew boast that he will have the head of the military gentlemen when his present term of office expires. All of McGrew’e rela- tives who are old enough to hold jobs are in the postoffice under Baumhoff. Pat Clark, McGrew’s right hy ind utility man, 18 a fellow whom Mr Filley says that Geo. W. Baumb: ffs.v d from the poor house (quite au uugratefal pau- per). This is character of men who seek to dethrone the best postmaster that St. Louis has ever had. That Mr. Baumhoff is not guilty is aseured by the jebaracter of his accusers. McGrew, by ‘his associations and loye for liquid beverages, has acquired the the title of “Barrel House Andy,” and is often referred to by that title. Only two weeks ago McGrew went into the Federal Court to swear an alibi for a man named Fickler, a self-confessed mail-robbar and murderer. Will the President and Postmaster General pay attention to such exponents of good morals? Watch this prediction, McGrew is near the pen. We are sorry to see our friend, Pat Clark, mixed up with McGrew and Howard. We hope he will withdraw from this common eet.

It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put pon the market and fa met with marked success. Ater a thorough test by the colored people of fl\ that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair ogee N ong and straight, soft and fine, and ae beautiful as an April morning.
