SON ee aoa ' . VOLUME VIL. ‘ TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 1, 1905. NUMBER 46, CAPTAIN LYNCH IN TOPEKA! Distinguished Statesman and Diglomat Lectured at the Shiloh Baptist Church, “The Cubane are a clannish peo- ple,” eaid Capt, Jobo R. Lynch, colored, paymaster with the rank of ‘eaptainin the regular army, who Jectured last eveniug at the Shiloh Baptist church on “Cuba and Por- to Rico.’ The lecture which con- sista of aceries of personal remin- facence involving the customs and habits of the people, was given un der the auspices of the Cosmopoli. stan club. “The Cubans area clannish peo- pie,” reiterated Mr. Lynch, ‘Be- tween the colored Amencan and the white Caban, the colored Cuban is for the white Cuban, and between the colored Cuban and white Amer- ican, the white Oubso is for the colored Caban. It was a peculiar sonsation which I experieaced when I went among the colored Cuban settlements. I pre: sumedin advance that L would be made welcome on the same basis of hospitality that I would be inthe Waited States, that I would secure da their midet the seme prevaleat feeling as whepever I reach aacttle- mentor colony of my own people im the United States.to find thet I wasno more welcome than a white American, Whethor they be white orcolored, Americans to them are Americans, and color has no influ ence inthe Cuban's treatment of them, | “Among the Cubans themselves you do not find the color line drawa so tautly as you do in this county, Race differences are not so marked asiathe United States, especially as in the southern part of the Unit- ed States. Twothings are respon- aible tor this condition of affairsin Caba, First, the habits of the peo- ple, he distinctions there are eased more on condition than race. A colored person would not be proscribed on account of color, while a white person whose birth and condition was of humble orgin would get no more recognition than the colored person inthis country, The chiaate forms the second reas- on, Very many white people arein pont of complexion much darker than those who have African blood in their veins. It ie difficult there. fore to draw any line between the two people based on the distinction of color; in tact itis impossible to do so, It is comparatively easy therefor to take the colored people for the white and vice verse. On account of these things the colored eater uponan equal basis withthe white inthe political and commer- cial activity of the country. In social affaire there is more independ: ence manifcated there than here, If it wone’s wish or desire to invite a oolored man to Juuch or any other character of social entertain. moat, it is considered a private mate ter and one which interests you enly: comment is therefore supere fluous, The population of the island is about evenly divided between white and and colored. About 45 per cent of the population consiste of colored peoples ia addi- tion about 10 per cent of those who would be classed as colored in the United States, making « total col- ored popniation of about 55 per cont, or over one-half, 'The factthat the land is owned largely by won resident property owaers has kept the colored people from becoming owners of real estate though a great many have acquired property, For generations the great estates and plantations have been owned abroad, in Spain, and this ieatill true toa great ex- come. colored man in Cuba under their independent form of government than under the formar Spanish rule; he haealways played a prominent parton the Island, “One of the great flestaas of the island is that in honor ot Macco, a colored man, general, who fought for thecause of freedom. Wath. ington could not be revered reore in this country than Maceo in Cubs. Today, Jnan Gomez, colored Is one ot the leading men of the islend and one of the most prominent members ofthe committee who drew up the constitution of the island govern ment. Three other colored men, if I mistake not were also on that committee.” Captain Lynch is ons of the most prominent of the colored men of the south. He has been actively in politics sisce 1869, He began his public career asa member of the Mississippi legistamre in 1869 and served two terms. from 1871 to 1873 acting asa speaker of the house. In addition he served three terms inCongress, He served straight through from 1872 to 1876 and then again from 1880 to 1882, During Harrison's administration he was auditor for the treasurer of the navy department. After this he vetired to his plantation near Natchez, Miss., until 1898 when he was appointed as major and addi- tional paymasterto serve with the United States volunteers. In 1901 he was transfered to the regular branch as ceptain. He served three yearsin Cubs, two at Santiago aod ome yearat Havana. REPUBLICANS MAY HONOR COREY. The Hoa. J.N. Corey, Treasuet of Leavenworth county is about to receive a reward that is justly due him from the Republican party of the great atate of Kansas. It was he who caused the old soldiers at the Home in that couaty to now enjoy the electives franchise by contend- ing that thelr vote should be counted for state and county officials. The oase was instituted in the Supreme Court, at the Expense of Mr. Corey, tocompel a Democratic Board to canvass the vote atthe home. The court decided that canvass should be made. This docision gave the old boysin blue aright to exercise the rights of free Americans, which they had fought for onthe battlefield. Thus kind act endeared J. N. Corey to them and increased the Kepubli- can voteto over three thousand in Leavenworth county, wlich was hopelessly Democratic up to the time of the decision. Now the pasty wants to reward Mr. Corey by placing his name on the Republican state ticken for R. R. Commissioner to succeed Mr. Walker. who retires from the board, There is no arr sitionto him as there is an inclina- tion of the party to reward him for the manly etandin dafending a old soldier and the Republican par- ty in their rights, Interstate Literary Notes, | Thiacolumn will beedited by the ebairman of the Executive commit- tee under the direction of the pres- ident.

A footman alighted from the box, opened the doors of this carriage, and a tall, well-built, fine-looking gentleman of ebony complexion, dreased in the prevailing American fashion, with the exception of a red {ez which adorned his towering, in- telligent and well-shaped head, go! outofthe carriage. This gentleman was the Honorable El Hadjie A. Basha, the Special Ambassador of the Abyssinian goverument to the United States. He was surrounded by three ewarthy-looking gentlemen, evidently of Oriental origin, who were accompanying him as interpret- ers. It was later learned that these interpreters were Assyrian, one of whom had beer brought from Ab- yssinia, another isan Assyrian mer- chant in charge of an Oriental busi- ness house in this city, and the third isan employee of the U.S, Bureau of Manufactures. A representative of the Washing. ton News Syndicate met these gen- tlemen just as they were making their entrance into the Bureau, and requested an interview. The Aseyr- ian interpreter (the Basha being uc- able to speak English,) asked that the questions which were intended for amawer to be submitted in writ- ing, as the time could not be taken then to answer owing to an cogage- ment with the Turkish minister, which was pressing them, In obe- dience to this request, the Syndicate later sent to the apartments of the ambassador at the New Willard ho- tel, she following Setter which em- braces the questions referred to: Pursuant to suggestions the Wash- ington News Syadicate has the hon- or of submitting to Ambassador El Hadje A. Basha of Abyssinia the fol- lowing questions: 1. During your brief sojourn in this country, what opinion have you formed of the American Negro? 2, From what you have ceen of American Negro and his life in the United States, do you believe that a general migration of the American Negro would be beneficial to either or both peoples? 3, What opportumties would a young, educated American Negro have in Abyssinia, should he take up hia residence there? 4. Whatisthe educational sya- lem of your country? To the above questions the Iton. El Hadjie A. Basha makes the fol- owing answers, “I vegrettoeay that [ have not been able to form any thorugh or lefinite upinion as to the Negro found in the United States, My ob. ervation of him during the brief ime I have been inthis country has not been such a3 to enable me to make a statement that 1 believe rould do him or myself justice. 1) rust, however, that betore leaving, he United Btates I will be able to wake a study of these people and heir tife in this country, “Asto the questiun whether at would be beneficial forthe American Negro to migrate to Africa, I might say that Africa as itis known today «a continent largely of provinces, yoverned by European states, and it aobvious that the migration of hese people tu any section of that jand would necessarily be a migra- ion to these provinces and, of course, he settlers would also come under the dominating influences and gov- ernment of the states controlliog hese civil divisions. Pike haenekte of «2 ervtifection tay. Thieis a problem which I be- lieve Leiongs largely to the Negro in the United States and their con- dition and life in this country could suggest a better answer to this prob- lem than my limited knowledge of conditions here could enable me to give. “Abyssinia is rich ia minerals and agricultural products, The cotton of this country is equal to the famous product of Egypt, which is conced- ed to be the finest cotton in the world, and on account of the great wealth in minerals, which is yet un- developed, and the vast area of land which could be made to yield the finest cotton in the world, and other products, am of the opinion that Abyssinia naturally offers an invit- ing field fer an industrious class of American Negroes whe desire to take up 8 residence in this country. “The educational system is very’ much nahke that which pertains to the European countries, being of a more restricted and less liberal form.” The Hon. Basha was presented to the president Wednesday at noon and gave to the chief executive a pair of large elephant tusks and a staffed leopard, the gifts of Menelik, king of Abyssinia. The Basha is touring the United Statesfor the pur- pose of interesting Ametican capital in the manufacturing development of Abyssinia. He holds vast con- cessions of valuable mineral and ag- ricultural lands from the king, and is offering special inducements tor Americans tomake{ovestment. He is governor of the province of Harar, and is said to be immensely rich in hisown country. Bishop Henry M, Turner, the stern advocate of Negro migration to Africa, has again delivered him: self upon this theme of his cheriabet! dream. Ina speech madeat Macon, Gcorgia, Nov. 23, the Bishop again advised thecolored race in Americe to migrate to Africa, and he also paid his respectsto the U. 5.Su- preme Court, and to Thomas Dixon, Jr, whom he bitterly arraigns, and says he will give $500 as afund for the arrangement of a joint meeting between hinself and Mr. Dixon, where the discussiun of the race prob- Tem can be had. Bishop Turner is credited with having said: “T am not pleased with the nation. No man hates this nation more theav Ido. When I go to say my prayers Ihave a struggle to getto the place where J am willing for Gud to allow the United States Supreme Court to have part in my prayer, That damnable institution, which robbed the Negro of every vestige of human or manhood's right—the men that compose that body may get to heaven the best way they can, but very lattle help will God give them trom any request that J make, “The Negro mill never be anything in this country buta scullion until he shows his manhvod, Go to Af- rica and build up 2” great nation that will command the respect of the civilized world. We could organ- ize and agitate and pay men to stay at Washington and plead for the cutting down of the southern repre- sentation, while the South is plead. ing for our disfranchivemeat, and much good could Le aceomplished. But the Negroisa miserablecoward. He just stays here and preaches ‘Heaven up yonder’ and ‘Hell down yonder’, and says ‘Wait on the Lord.’ Why wait on the Lord for what you can dy tor yoursels.” The surprising announcement comes from Chency, Pa. ofthe fact that Prof, Hugh Brown, principal of the Cheney Institution, has resigned ot the request of the board of trus- tees of thatinstitution, Mr, Brown {is on of the very prominent colored educators In this section, and was for of the most prominent physicians Inthe city of Washsington. The resignation of Mr. Brown ie received with great surprise. The announcement that President Roosevelt will appoint aoother col- ored man to succeed Judson S. Ly- ons, Register of the Treasury, was made Friday, Mr. Lyons, retire- ment willtake place some time in April when bie present term of office willhave expired. With this an nouncement also comes one that the President intends to appoint in Mr Lyons’ phace a colored man from Chicago, INinoie, A representative of the Syndicate visited the White house Saturday, but was unable to Jearn the names of the probable ap- pointee, bnt itis generally believed that either J. R, Weight or F. L. Barnett will be the lucky man, the chances seeming to favor Mr. Bar nett, Prof, W.T. Vernon, president of the industrial school at Quindaro, was also mentioned, but it ie not thought that the president will ap- point Mr. Vernon. The office of assistant Register of the Treasury, now held by Cyrus Field Adams of Chicago, is also in jeopardy. Itis believed thatit the | president appoints either Mr. Wright ‘or Me, Barnett to be Register. this appointmont will likely create a va- aniy in the office of assistant Regis- ter, a0 it ix mot believed that both the office of Register and Assistant will be held by Chicago men. The assistant Register's office pays $2500, Inquiries made at the office of the Register revealed the fact that Mr. Lyons 4s out of the city and will probably not returo until some time next week, Mr. Harry G.

Noted Bishop Scores United States Government, Fed- eral Supreme Court and Dixon. A special dispatch tothe Topeka Capital from Macon. Ga’ says “Bishop Henry M. Turner, the leading bishop inthe African Meth- odist church, made an impassioned attack upon the government and the United States Supreme court in his annual address yesterday to the Macon conference, “No man hates this uation more than I do," declared Bishop Turn- er, ‘When I goto say my prayers 1 havea struggles toget to the place where I am willing for God to allow the United States Supreme courtto have a partin my prayers. That damnable institution has robbed the Negro of every vestige of human or manhood's rights. The men that compose that body many get to heaven the best way they can, but it is little help God will grant for any request that I make.” Bishop Turner bitterly arraigned the Rev. Thomas Dixon for his writings and speeches against the Negro."* The above expression is right and further more, if more of our leading Christian workers would give vent totheir feelings ae this good and true Bishop has done, there would be a more rapid change in the Unit- ed States of America, Ifthe bhigh- est courts of the country would be fair in their decisions thelr would be no discrimination on the Btatate Book agaeinat the colared people. = discrimination «s considerable advantage for the white man aad other astionalitics but is « bamdé- capp tothe Negro. We are gla to know that there is one brave man who does not hesitate to speak out boldly on these outrages that are being perpetuated on the colored people by the whites and upheld by aprejudiced court. The Supreme Court of United States bas’ been a hindrance to the progress of the Negro since the Dred Scott decision, the Civel Rights Bill. the decision on the Alabama Suffrage. The Jim Crow Car Law has been held by thie court tobe fair and just. Had the highest court ofthis county tor- ever stamped out biack laws by rendering them unconstitutional there would be less strife, The meanest white people on carth dwell in the United States of America. ‘They sow the seed of hatred against the Negro where ever they go. They docverything to make the Negro feel be isnot entitled to anything that a whiceman wants. Every- thing is based on white inthe United States, If you are a convict and white, that ie all is aecessary toelevate you above the Negro. The lowest white person hes a bet- ter show thanthe most highly re- spected Negro. ATCHISON, KAS.

Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills are a most remarkable remedy for the relief of periodic pains, backache, nervous or sick headache, or any of the distressing aches and pains that cause women so much suffering. As pain is weakening, and leaves the system in an exhausted condition, it is wrong to suffer a moment longer than necessary, and you should take the Anti-Pain Pills on first indication of an attack. If taken as directed you may have entire confidence in their effectiveness, as well as in the fact that they will leave no disagreeable after-effects. They contain no morphine, opium, chloral, cocaine or other dangerous drugs. "For a long time I have suffered greatly with spells of backache, that them almost more than once endure. They attack some on every month, and last two or three days. I have never been able to get anything that would give me much relief until I began the use of Dr. Miller' Anti-Pain Pills, and they always relieve me in a short time. My sister, who suffers the same way, has used them with the same results." HRS. PARK, 1000 W. 10th St., South Bond Ind. Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills are sold by your druggist, who will guarantee that the first package will benefit. If it fails he will return your money, 25 doses, 25 cents. Never sold in bulk.

THE ELKS' BALL Over one hundred and fifty of Topeka's upper crust turned out to the Elks' first annual hall Tuesday evening at the Metropolitan Hall, and in the language of a friend, "it was a brilliant success." It has been a long time since the society folk of Topeka have been so royally entertained, and the rivals of this growing and popular organization will find it no easy task to out-do Tuesday night's ball. Promptly at the appointed hour, the Yale Orchestra struck up the grand march, which was participated in by the one hundred odd guests. It was a sight seldom ```markdown ``` witnessed in Topeka, and the array of rich gowns, flowers and spiketailed coats, added grandeur to one of the most beautiful scenes ever witnessed in Metropolitan Hall. It was a delightful affair, and from 9 o'clock until the wee hours of morn', the Elks showed their guests what a royal time really means. Messars. J. E. Harlan, Will Henderson, Fred.
