report of the committee of the
Huntsville, Ala., Normal school, in
the cane of the Rev. R. C. Ransom
with Ity three specifications, which
you print this morning, is a remark-
able document, These gentlemen
submitted, concerning Mr. Ransom,
that
*t1, He xeems to be under the
influence of whiekey,
«2, He has created a great ev-
citement on the railroad, which will
or may Le detrimental tothe school.
«3, We do not believe he is the
right character to place before our
students.”
Permit me to say that, whetber
Mr. Ransom was or was not “under
the influence of whiskey,” at Hunts
ville, the *szcondly” and “thirdly”
in thia indictment should be wiped
out at once, assheer Dogberry ver-
Inge. The only real ground for not
believing Mr, Ransom ‘ta right
character to place before the stu-
dents” was the belief that he was at
the time ‘under the intluence of
whiskey”; his general reputation
wae, a8 the directors knew—if they
did not know it they had no busi.
ness to invite him from Boston to
Huoteville—the highest. The third-
ly is, therefore, a mere repetition of
the Gretly.
AstoMs, Ransom having ‘cre-
ated a great excitement on the rail-
road,” didhe? THERE IS NOT
THE SLIGHTEST EVIDENCE
OF IT, Noseneible man believes
it. An eacitement there was, but
he wae not ite creator, but its vic-
tim. Me was kicked and cuffed out
of a Pullman car, where he had the
legal right to stay, by asct of ruf-
fians on their way to a Democratic
convention—where, I understand,
they gleefully boasted of it-—because
he waea “Nigger.” I do not un-
derstand that one of them, or any
body clre on the train, intimated he
was then and there ‘‘under the influ’
ence of whiskey”; yet do we not all
know perfectly well that if there
had beca the elightest ground for
“drunken Nigger” instead of plain
“Nigger” the charges would have
been run on it to the fullest eatent?
Ofcourre we know It,
Onc wervice, however, the com=
mittec’s ‘secondly” doos invidental-
ly render, Certain of the Hunteville
Colored people, anaions to have us
Velieve that they were in no wike
intimidated by the surrounding
white ventiment, have rent the states
ment Lere that at the time they had
not even heard of the ‘great eacites
ment” on the train, but only knew
that Mr, Ransom wan “drunk,”
This could be disproved in many
ways, If necevsary, but the commit:
tee’s own #recondary” rettlew it,
There should be no confusion of
the feeuce jn this grave caso—for
very grave it is, One in of great
pubhe importance and the other is
not. If Mr. Ransom, upon reaching
TIunteville weak and faint after the
outrageous assault which he indis-
putably suffered, took a glaes of
whiskey to brace bimeclf up, and it
went to bie head, why, it isa pity,
and he has grievously suffered for
it. Bat there ie nothing remarkable
about it; at least two or three ex-
cellent white philanthropista have
had similar eaperience In Massachu-
setts einzse the landingof the Pil-
grime, Mr, Ransom saya it was
srot eo. and J think we are bound to
believe him until there fs better
proof to the contrary than any yet
submitted
Thle, however, I say, i« not of
great public importance. It is of
very great importance whether
man of Mr, Ransom's fine talents
and character, with the pre-eminent
position which be holde among the
Colored people of Boston and the
high reputation he has won in the
whole thoughtfal community by bis
eloquence, devoted public service
and passion for human rights, is to
be kicked out of a Pullman car,
where he belongs, because ke aa
“Nogger.”" by a gang of ruffara 2
Tennessee who chanced to get bod
of a eulogy on Garrison whick they
found he had wntten—and Boston,
{the home of Garrison and Summer
and Andrew do nothing about it!
This apathy seema to me the meas-
ure of the degradation which we
bave undergone as concerns our
whole sense of duty to our Colored
fellow citizens in the last eight
years, Ihave heard of noscrious
effort yet on the part of reeponeible
and impartial men to get at the ex-
aet facts in this notorious case,
although it happened a month ago,
and although the circumstances can
certainly be investigated easily by
some young lawyer who will go
down there. 1, for one, should like
to co-operate with others in sending
@ good man down.

The Association proper began
Thureday afternoon. Rey. G. W.

the call was read and the association
settled down to busiuess, The var-
ious committees were appointed.
Rev, White, of the Central Baptjet
Church, srose to some question to
gain the tloor and then began to
talk history. One thing he said was
that, ‘Negroes were cowards” and
that they didn’t talk enough. Mrs,
Lucy Saurders replied by saying,
‘they didn't fight enough.” The
whole church joined in a hearty
laugh at the eypense of the Rev.
He soon subsided as the lady had
taken the sails out of his kite for the
evening.
Mr. Robt. Bell, the artist, and
member of the church made the
welcome address, which waa a
master piece. He aaid, no country

white people in this country and ca

this city, was awarded in the com:
mon pleax court here yesterday
damages againet the Greenville
Traction company in the sum of
#500. He had asked for $5;000,
No other cases were heard in the
court yesterday, It was convened
at 10 o'clock, with Judge R, 0.
Purdy, of the Third cirouit, presid-
ing, for a two weeks’ term, While
tho jury waa out several orders were
taken in discontinuance and refer=
ence, and cousel were heard in argu-
ment on a demurrer and a motion to
amend,
Mudson Johnson, represented by
Messrs. Maudlin «& Townes, alleged
that last October he boarded a belt
car and paid his fare, taking a va>
cant seat and acting in an orderly
and peaceable manner; that the con+
ductor, after having directed him to
go inside and eoon after tho plaintiff
had taken his seat, came into the ear
jerked the plaintiff violently from
his weat, presented a pistol at him,
and kicked and beat him, subjecting
him to grievious bodily hurt and
great humiliation, all to his Jamage
£5,000.
‘The traction company, in its an-
ewer, said that the plaistiff, ‘who
wasn 3 colored man, did enter one of
its cars on the day alleged, but was
intovicated, and instead of taking
hix seat upon one of the benches on
which no one sat, dropped upon one
oceupied by a white lady; that when
told to take another, he began to
curse the conductor, who thereupon
took him by the arm and led him to
the rear of the car, the Negro still
cursing and otherwise miabehaving;
that the Negro was not abused by
the conductor, Grievous bodily
injury iv denied, and it is stated
that defendant had no meane of
knowing thedegree of mental an-
guish humiliation, etc., suffered by
Johuson.
Consideravle testimony was intros
Juced, and ingenious pleadinga were
made. The attorneys for the plain-
tiff iniplored the jury to neglect al-
together the fact that the plaintiff
wax s Negro, or at Ivast to remems
ber that he was an old darky, of the
“alavery-tine” type, not an impus

DISTRICT CONFERENCE.
The District Conference and S. B Convention of the Omaha district, A. M. E. church was in session here June 12-14 in the First A. M. E church, Rev. J. W. Braxton, P. E., presiding. A goodly number of ministers, delegates and visitors were in attendance. The sessions were profitable and pleasant. The papers were excellent, showing careful preparation and much thought. The lively discussions and fine singing added in a great degree to the interest of the sessions. On the morning of the 12th the annual sermon was delivered by Rev. J. W. Braxton, after which the Lord's Supper was administered to the convention.
After the appointment of the various committees each committee promptly executed its part of the work. On the night of the 13th an entertaining program was rendered at Westerfield's hall, to a large audience. Each part was performed creditably. At the conclusion of the third, or last day's session, the following officers were elected; For district conference, Prof. G. A. Gregg of Quindaro, sec'y; Rev. A. G. Terrell of Atchison, treasurer.
The elected officers for the Sunday School convention are: Miss Willa Johnson, Bonner Springs, Superintendent; Miss Minnie Wright, Omaha, assistant superintendent; Miss Jennie Watts, Fremont, secretary; Miss Izetta Colley, Linco'n, corresponding secretary: Miss Cammie Wilson, Atchison, treasurer; S. F. Westerfield of Lincoln and Prof. G. A. Gregg of Western University, Quindaro, were elecfed lay delegates to the annual conference which convenes in Hutchinson, Kans.
Rev. W. T. Biggers, the efficient pastor of this enterprising church, deserves much credit for the work he has accomplished, with the help of his members and friends, and for his gentlemanly conduct and high moral character. The people love him and appreciate his good work. In less than two years a neat, substantial church has been built and all pressing debts paid. The membership and attendance has greatly increased. It can be truthfully said of Rev. Biggers, he is a grand young man.

Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine has been so successful in curing these brain-wrecking diseases that there is every reason to believe that even the most hopeless cases can be benefited, if not fully restored. We will be pleased to refer any one thus afflicted to many who now enjoy the blessing of health, after years of hopeless suffering.
"I have a son that had brain fever when two years old, followed by fits of the worst type, and he was pronounced incurable. I spent hundreds of dollars for him, without relief. After about fifteen years he became so bad that we sent him to Longliff hospital for the insane, at Loganport, Ind. He was seven three years, but he continued to grow. We sent him home July 30, 1902, in an awful condition. He had lost his mind almost entirely. He hardly knew one of the family; could not even find his bed was a total wreck. He had from 5 to 10 fits a day. We were urged to try Dr Miles' Nervine, and before the first bottle we need, We could see a change for him. We could see him ever since, and he had but two very light spells since last August, 1903, and then he was not well other ways. We pronounce him curable as he can work and go anywhere. If any one wishes to ask any questions concerning this, they are at liberty to do so."

The firm of William Green and Son is the first to conform strictly to the law recently passed by Congress against using coloring or preservatives in meats, especially sausage or wiener-wurst. This firm is one of the few first class concerns in the West that does not believe in adulterations. The fact that the people demanded that coloring be used in meats was the only reason why this firm used them at all. Now the people will learn what is healthful and what is hurtful. Wm. Green and Son sell nothing that deceives their customers. If an article is good they tell you so; if not wholesome they quickly tell you know. Fancy groceries, vegetables, fresh and cured meats without any adulteration can be had at Green's grocery.
The colored people of Topeka should do what they can to assist the Salvation Army for the reason that it is the only religious organization organization among the whites which practices the teachings of Jesus Christ. The army gave a picnic last week for the poor children whose parents were not able to give them a summer outing. They paraded Kansas avenue from the army headquarters to Eighth street, where they took the car for Vinewood and spent an enjoyable day. The army furnished lunch and refreshments. We are proud to say that no color line was drawn, and every child, whether white or black was made welcome.

The Sewing Circle held an interesting meeting at the church Wednesday afternoon. After the dispatch of much important business, a splendid lunch was served by a committee of ladies.
The very warm weather does not interfere with the worthippers of St. John; the church was filled with a host of devout worshippers at 11 a.m. last Sabbath and a good congregation greeted the pastor at 8 p.m.
The attendance of the Allen League of C. E. was unusually large and the interest very pronounced.
The young ladies who had consented to unite with and sing in the choir of the church made their first appearance last Sabbath. It was a beautiful sight as well as a delight to hear their sweet voices in the choir. Many favorably comments were heard upon the personnel of the enlarged and improved choir.
At the Sunday morning service the pastor will administer the sacrament of baptism to a number of candidates.
The last of the series of sermons on Women of the Bible was preached last Sabbath evening. Beginning Sunday, the pastor will deliver a series of sermons on The Lord's Prayer. This series of sermons will be of an evangelical character. Good singing will be a feature of the service. Come and help.

the readers of your paper in this
city with mirth and glee,

ersand have already four to report

ored laboring men say they think
we were a little hasty about adser-
Using our efforte and what we aro
atriving to do, but we are under tho
irapression that what {ts done in the
dark will come to the light.
Ido not think 1t worth while for
meto keep my troubles hid any

we are not treated right, especially
the one we work with, and he Just
thinks the black man too Ignorant
to pave out the way to succeed. It
aa no secret about our present poy

of any bencfit to keep secret the
burdens and hardships thatdally we
lave to undergo.
Now, take the black men of the
South; you and they are undrgan-
ized and divided, Together we
stand, divided we fall. Every na.

friendship until hard luck rolls
around and stops at his house. Then
he can feel the need of frienda.
OF course, the colored men of this
country are put to many disadvant-
ages, many hardshins, but still there
are chances for usto better our con>
dition providing we make the right
step and put the right thing before
the laboring class of people.
We want to get our laboring
people on better und more friendly
terms, #0, Ithink the main thing
for colored men to dd is to come
together, save their earnings, buy
more homes, educate our children,
be honest in our dealings, truthful
and mannerable, Then we will
become more familiar by practice
with what it takes to make a good
citizen. I think by so doing the
white Iaboring man will cut off
some of the prejudice he has against
the black laboring man.
We black people are here and I
think we are here to stay. I betieve
that by prevailing with our people to
decide in their minds now to make
ourselves more useful and more
capable and reliable, we will find
more and be‘terchances in this sreat|
mechanical world in the future than
what has fallen to our share in the
past.
I know the founder of this or-
ganization and the National Presi+
dent of the same, President John
N. Davis, of Pittsburg, Pa., 1s
known with usat Memphis, We is
ahard worker in the labor struggle,
and we have so far found him to be
man of principle and morals, and
a true citizen.
Mr Elitor, I know I wishtyou all
the success in your work and trust
your paper will be read in all the
colored homes in our great America
I remain yours,
