‘W. YY. Kuykendall Pays an Eloquent Tribute to Our Lameated President. A Noble American the Mc Kinley club a few weeks ago. We have received so many requests for {its reproduction, that we do so with great pleasure: Fellow cttizens, Iam glad to meet with you tonight and 1 am glad to be here and be able to address you. This is a day that will never be for- gotten by the humblest American citizen, Never, no, never! A great deal has been said in the last three or four weeks about our President dining wh a man of opposite color, Booker T. Washington. Fellow cit- izens, I do not believe any man fit for presidency of this great Republic who is capable of insulting « down- trodden race (cheers), Idon't know Booker T, Washington. I would not know him if I was to meet him but if 1 should meet him, I would feel like asking him forgiveness for the wrongs that my race has inflicted on his. The superior men, the good men, the grand men, are brothers all the world over, no matter what their complexion may be. They are hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart, fighting today the great battle for the progress of man- Kind (cheers). During the war the black people were the friends of the South. They stayed at home and protectd the wife and children of the white man, while he went into the field and fought for the right to whip and steel and sell the rosy, dimple- cheeked children of the black man that was protecting him (cheers) and often times he sold his own flesh and and blood, and to day the South is trying to gain with the ballot what they lost with the bayonet, to whip with the ballot those who fought them in the field; and the question is just as open and unsettled todayas it was then. When Teddy Roosevelt invited Booker T, Washington to dine with him, in my opinion he did right (cheers) That washis business. Whoever does right clothes him- self in a suit of armor which the sharp and poisoned arrows of preju- dice and slander can never penetrate; put whoever does wrong is responsi- dle for all the consequences to the last sigh, to the last tear Kindness is always an evidence of grandness. Malice isthe property of a small soul, and when a man allows the feeling of brotherhood to die in his heart he becomes a wild beast. As tule the populaiiou of the South are turbulent, and the best men in that country cannot control it, so that men are shot down for opinion's sake. It ought to be stopped. It is adisgrace to American manhood (applause), Tam a profound believer in the doctrine that, for a nation as well as for men, honesty is the best, always, everywhere and forever. I am a bahever in the gospel of this world. Ibelieve in happiness right here. 1 do not believe in drinking skim milk all my life with the expectation of butter and cream beyond the clouds (cheers). Fellow citizens, there left this world today aman whose face wa: white, but in my judgment his hear was as black a one as was ever here. metically sealed in the breast of any huaan being. He [Leon Colgoscz] is no more His futile and treasonable attempt ai the destruction of this staggerin; young republic was a grand failure With others of his kind, he joine: hands in an efiort to turn back on the dia) of time the hands of fate. Goc in his infinite mercy has this day drawn the veil of oblivion betwee this vulture and Humanity, and hh now gropes in solitude as awfu and sempiternal as do his friends John Wilkes Booth and Charle Guiteau, + If ever the free institutions ¢ this country, God and civilizatio: are struck fairly in the face it i when the anarchists float that re flag of theirs in the face of America ciitzenship. That dirty rag that cor Sf a Aaa «Diet Ast Ae eke al pil ia ak “S fonkt 9G BEER 065 'Czolgscz, and refused to grant ex- ecutive clemency, as per request of some of the churches of the East. in my judgement he grandly vindicated the laws of God and the dignity of| the United States. I see by the pa- pers that Father Hyacinth says Czol- goscz was a christian; he prayed him into heaven. I wonder if Herod is playing on the banks of the river of life with the children he massa- cred. Oh,I wonder if Joha Wilkes Booth and Charles Guiteau are up in Heaven, sitting around the golden throne with Abraham Lincola, James A. Garfield and William McKinley. I do not now contradict it, although, if itis so, I must say thatfor sucha miserable heaven I have no love nor respect. To the murderer's death bed, in my judgement, there eame nohope. He will die alone. His former associates will come not nigh. When the hour arrives, his miserable soul will go out of his mis- erable life,into a miserable eternity, and as his poor remains pass the great crowds, they will cry out, there goes his old carcass, dead at last. Let him down to his dark grave. Plant no trees to cast their shadows there, for the long, deep, eternal gloom that will settle there will be shadow enough, Plant no roses there nor sweet forget-me-nots, for flowers were never made to bloom on such a blasted heath, (loud and continued applause.) Visit it not in the sunshine, for that would be mockery; but in the night. when the moon is hid, and the heavens are dark and starless, and the fork-tongued lightnings of the cyclone threaten the destruction of ‘the earth, then I would visit the grave of the murderer, and on that grave in the blackness and darkness of that awful night, hid from the sight of God and man, I would plant a rank slip of poison ivy. There it would grow, and its little scarlet run- ners would come lik poems of regret from the sad heart of the earth, and the typhoid odor that would arise from that foul and polluted spot, would warn all mankind to" keep away. God hasten the day when all will-overtake in their desert the de- graded rabble of underground city life as they tumble over the eternal precipice, and the world shall be left clear and clean for the friends of humanity and the worship of Al- mighty God. (Loud and prolonged applause,) I never will forgive the anarchists of this country for murdering Wil- Yam McKinley; nor will I ever for- give the Prohibition party of Kansas for the fact that they slew Mr. Blaine, who, in my judgment, was the great. est orator and statesman ever sprung from American soil (cheers). This country never saw a better patriot. His whole life wae given to reform, Of James G. Blaine it was said, when men heard him speak they were only fearful that he would stop: There cameatime when he felt that he, better than any other man, in the presidential chair, could adjust the difficulties between the sections, and while he was talking about the North and the South bury. ing forever their difficulties, an¢ clasping hands across “the blood; chasm,” American polities pushec | him into it; prohibition and the lead Jers of the prohibition party in Kan |sas defeated him.

William McKinley ‘was an intellectual giant, 2 magazine of political wisdom, an arsenal of ideas, and his life was an honor not only to William McKinley, but to human nature itself, and it could have been lived only by the man who had the generosity, the exalted pat- riotism, the goodness to say, “Itis God's will and God's will be done.” There is in all the ufterances of man- kind no grander, no sublimer senti- ment, It shoula be wroughi ingold, adorned with diamonds of the first water, and impuessed indellibly upon qhe hearts of the American citizen: “It is God's will and God's will be done.” The world is his monument, and upon the eternal granite of her hills should be inscribed these words, “HERE LIES AX HONEST MAN;" and were it possible I would take my Dlacksmith tools, my hammer and chisel, and with untiring hands 1 would carve those words so deer jhto that eternal granite that they never would be effaced by time’ irreverent and relentless hand, President Roosevelt has intimated that the Negroes of the West are to be considered in making up the various federal appointments. Here- tofore, the South has been the re- cipient of practically all the appoint- ments of any importance that have come to the race. The peculiar con- ditions which have obtained in the South, due to the enactment of laws depriving our people of the. right of suffrage has taken from the Southern Negroes much of the power they have heretofore wielded in the conn- cils of the Republican party. President Roosevelt has lived in the West, He is fully cognizant of the remarkable growth and develop- ment of this section. The people of the West have developed politically aswell as financially. The political power of the West, especially those states comprising the Louisiana pur- chase, is one of the revelations of the opening years of the new century, Constant emigration from the East- em states and the large influx of foreigners have given to the Western people marked ability in all direc- tions. ‘The comtng of the exodusters from the South since 1878, has brought the Negro in contact with the people ‘of the West and he has developed much of the hustling quality which stands as a marked characteristic of Western people. The Negro refugee has developed along all lines, He has become a sucessful farmer, and thousands of pounds of his produce goes into the market ‘every day asa testiimonial of his energy and pros- perity. The thousands of Negroes scattered. throughout Kansas, Col- orado, Nebraska, Missouri, Oklaho- ma, and the great northwest, are |solving the problem of life to the | satisfaction of their neighbors. They are opening business houses of vari ous kinds and are seeking to giv '| employment to their own people. A |hundred million dollars will hardl; ||cover the tnvested capital and th |real estate holdings ef the Afro | Americans of this section. Presiden | Roosevelt has lived in the West, anc | possesses actual knowledge of the de ,| velopment of the Negroes. ‘| In a politicel way the Negroes o the West have received very sligh | consideration, From the selectioy }] of Samuel Clark of Iowa, to fill : \|federal appointment, a quarter of : ‘\century ago down to the sending o Seuthora Perity® ‘The Hon. Lewis H. Douglas in the Philadelphia North American, under recent date, says: “According to the cencus of 1890, officially promulgated, there were in this country descended from the white race and the black race conjointly 956,989 mulattoes, 105,35 quadrooxs, 69,936 octoroons. All the first-class lexicons will show that the mixture expressed by the words mulattoes, quadroons,and oc- toroons denotes first, black parent and white parent; second, mulatto parent and white parent; third, qua- ‘droon parent and white parent. A thoughtful seratiny of the above fig- lures will bring out the fact by far ithe largest attraction of the whites jis to the blacks, hence the greatest number of mixed white and colored is mulatto, "The social equality of which the above referred to condition is an un- mistakable and incontrovertible ev- idence, was forced upon the blacks by the white masters of the South. Defenseless black women were vic- tims of theso-called best white blood |—the aristocracy of the South, It is a well known fact that the “com- mon white trash” of the South dared not lay a hand upon the slaves of the tristocratic slaveholder. Hence with avery slight exception the mixed col- ored people of the South are the hal brothers, half sisters, cousins, etc., 0! the best white blood in that section Now in view of the above facts what is it but sturdy impudence fo: the Memphis Commercial Appeal t say, “this is a white man’s country It will continue to be such as long a: clean blood flows through the vein ‘of the white people?” This outburs' came because the president invited te dinner a descendant of the Southert white aristocracy in whose veins flow: the blood of Africa, Whatisit bu John L. Waller of Kansas to Made- gascar, the western Negroes honored by a place nearthe head of the po- litical table, can be counted on the fingers of one hand, The Western Negro is entitled to some considera tion at the hands of the Republican party. Since President Roosevelt has in- timated that the position of Recorder of Deeds for the District of Colum- bia, (a position awarded to Negroes for the past quarter of a century) shauld come to jthe West provided a change should be’ made at the expi- ration of the term of Recorder Cheatham, two candidates have been announced in the West—namely: Dr. J. R.A. Crossland of St. Joseph, Mo:, and Editor J. Hume Childers of i pf! this paper. Tue PLAINDEALER en- tertains the highest regard for Dr. Crossland and takes this opportunity of saying that, should President Roosevelt see fit to honor the doc- tor, the Negroes of America will never have a cause to regret the act. He is eminently qualified and well fitted for the position. In reference to our own candidacy, we aspire to the position as the rep- resentative of the Negroes of Kansas. We entered the race at the repeated and earnest solicitation of friends, who felt that, if the West was to be considered in the giving out of fed- eral appointments, Kansas, with 2 larger voting Negro population than any other state in the West giving jts clestoral vote to the Republican party, should be cared for ina sub- stantial way. ‘When the craze of Populism swept the most sickening hypocrisy to prate about‘ white man’s country, white man’s purity, and natural aversion to the Negro socially, with 956,989 mu- Inttoes, 105,135 quadroons and 69,936 octoroons and their multitude of de- scendants standing in bold relief con- fronting the false pretense of “clean blood” and ineradicable aversion to ‘social contact with the Negro? Is it not time that the people of the North should look the’ facts squarely and honestly in the face? Social equali- ‘ty for base, brutal purposes exiats in ‘the South, while honest and decent junion is punishable by imprisonment and lynching. In the State of Maryland white and colored people cannet legally inter- marry. While this is true more than 14 per cent. of her colored popula. ‘tion belong by consanguinity to the aristocracy of that pure State. It was heralded to the world that the South did not like the social equality which they claim was shown by Pres- ident Roosevelt in dining Booker T, Washington. We have yet to hear 2 denunciation by the South of the crime which punishes holy marriage and gives countenance to the unholy and brutal conditon which fills the land with millions of mixed white and black people. For stalwart hy- pocrisy and collossal impudence the Dlatant defender of Anglo-Saxon pur ity in the South who screams him, self hoarse with unmeaning verbosi ty, stands out as the most promi nent of allthe latter day hypocrites. ‘TWO GARDENERS.

Kansas from the ranks of the Repub- lican party, and the leaders of the allied forces were making all kinds of overtures to the Negroes of Kansas to line up against the grand old par- ty, the Negroes stood firm as the rock of Gibralter, and saved the state to Governor Morrill, to Governo: Stanley, and the first Congressional District to Hon, Charles Curtis. That ‘Kansas stands today in the safe col ‘umn of the Republican party is duc to the fidelity aud faithfulness of the Negro voter. Kansas Negroes are entitled tc consideration. Itis a matter of surprise to the Negroes of Kansas, that some mem. bers of our delegations in congres: should allow the ramor to become current, that representatives of ou: people at Washington have influenc ed them to “sell the birthright o Kansas Negroes for a mess of pot tage.” There has never been a time since the heroicdays of John Brown that there have not been citizens o! the great sunflower state ready, will ing and amply qualified to fill any position within the gift of the nation from president to the humblest jani tor in the humblest building in thi: broad land. The Negroes of Kansa request that the men representin, the race in congress lend their sup port and assistance to a Kansas Ne gro. J.

We take the following tribute | Mrs. J. Silone Yates from the Tope- ka Daily Herald, as a compliment to every intelligent colored woman who is earnestly seeking to lift the race: “The first public meeting of the Topeka Federation of ColoredWom- en’s clubs met in Shiloh Baptist church on Thursday evening to listen to an address by the president of the National Association of Colored Women. The ~ - Jom Yates, is one of the most cultur ed and brilliant colored women of thenation. Her stirring address was sound and scholarly and gives evi- dence of the fact that the colored race is raising up its own great lead ers to bring it out of the wilderness. +1 the distinguished lady that there are now colored club organizations in twenty~ six states and in eight of them they have city and state federations, em- bracing all lines of work calculated to elevate womankind and the race. With such leaders as Booker T. Washington and Mrs. Yates the col- ored people of this country ale surely eTown salvation.” The colored women of Kansas and especially of Topeka are alive to the great needs of the race and are to the best of their ability seeking to ame- tiorate existing conidtions, In their efforts, they are deserving of the aid and support of the of the community. The work of the City Federation, so recently organ- ized, ishighly commendable. The bringing of Mrs. Yates, National pres- ident of the Association of Colored Women's Clubs, and one of the most brilliant women of the race, te the city, is bound to inspire our women with higher ambitions and urge them forward in the accomplishment ol greater things. ‘Mrs. Yates’ lecture was a splendid tribute to the nobleefforts now being put forth by our women, and a clear outline of the work expected to be accomplished. In her lecture, Mrs. Yates pointed out the chief barrier to progress of the race in reaching a higher plane—the lack of correct knowledge ofthe best class of our people on the part of the whites. I! therefore becomes the duty of all classes of our people to aidin the repression of the criminal element: and elevation of race ideal. It is to be hoped that the City Fed eration will keep up the work so wel begun, and that the future will see it organizations of clubs in domestic science, self culture, etc., along line: as outlined by Mrs. Yates. To ac complish this all selfishness must b laid 2side. LAWRENCE NEWS. ‘Mr, William Ashbey, of this city @led in Manhattan last Monday night. He was brought home for burlal Tues- day afternoon.

Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds purs and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of 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 to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics. OZONO. which is sold with an iron-clad guarantee to we will forfeit $50.00.
