The following address, reported by a special committee of the executive committee of the Council, in recent session at Washington, D.

Pinchback is president, and in the Council, the Executive committee of the Afro-American Council, through your committee, manifested in it by the race since the Chicago meeting. In a great national oratory, you have devoted the council upon the increased interest of the race manifested in it by the race since the Chicago meeting. In a great national oratory, you have devoted the council upon the increased interest of the race, feel is to be found an effective lever for the best interests of the race, future as the conditions in which we live may suggest to those who would oppose the council, and that the council has secured an abiding place in the confidence of the masses of the race, meeting it will be shown that the whole race has been imbued with the value of the Council, as the Afro-American Council presents. We wish to express our satisfaction that since our last meeting President McKinney maintained in the army by the appointment of commissioned officers of two regiments, leaving the way clear to such officers, we will now be able to duct in action and true service, and for the designation of an agent to represent the purpose of the proper carrying out of whose plans for a proper exhibit, we hope Congress will promptly vote the appropriation $15 million for the protest against mob law enclosed in his annual message to Congress at the open end of the month, and we hope he will see the wisdom and policy of urging upon the constitutional warranty of legislation within constitutional matters to protect citizens against such mob violence. We are gratified at the action of the NNW to consider to consider the measure of Representative Payne to reduce Southern representative conventions. The people to be legislated. I WERE ON THE TOP OF A not the loyal Afro-American Republicans of the South who earnestly desire to vote, but the murder, intimidation and unrestraint enactments prevented them from exercising their constitutional right to vote. Because the measure introduced in Congress Representative Crumppacker of Indiana to necessitate the he extent to which voters of the South have been disfranchised "because of race, color or previous condition of servitude," have been disfranchised "appropriate to the findings of the next Congress. But while admit the right of Congress to reduce the representation of a State that disfranchise the constitutionality of the suffrage, color or previous condition of servitude," we insist that a judicial interpreter, the constitutionality of the suffrage, preclude the right of the three States named is of the most vital and imminent moment; we therefore give our endorsement and promise our vote. The Council of New Orleans in its purpose to institute at an early date a test case against the use of the new constitution of Louisiana. The question of mob law is not only condemned, officially, by President McKinley, the public, the Council itself, and the bill which Representative George H. White, of North Carolina proposes to submit to Congress for its action, and prays that the public will be able to bring within conspiracy infractions those people who band themselves together for the purpose of depriving citizens charged with the crime of liberty "without the process of law." We wish also to direct attention to an dalous fact that while we constitute one of the largest states in the district of Columbia we have no control whatsoever of its affairs and are discriminated against by the government, but nowhere more so than in the police courts, where it is no longer possible to be prosecuted and secure the least measure of civil justice or common courtesy. The President of the United States, in his fairness and idelicacy, has said that we have good faith has the power in a large measure to correct this condition with which we are sure he has no sympathy. We wish also to direct attention to an organization which has developed in the Census Bureau While 300 supervisors have been selected to serve in the Census Bureau, and discrimination has been emphasized by the fact that Congressman who was not permitted to designate the supervisor in his Congressional district. South Carolina has not permitted an equal vote in selection of supervisors and we submit that under a Republican rule the Census Bureau has been allowed us. Of the 170 clerks in the Census Bureau there is not an Afro-American, and the labor force have been allowed us. We cannot conceive how such a con- dition could obtain under a Republican administration, as we are sure that President McKinley has not had the facts proved to him. The adoption of a separate sleeping car law by the legislature of Georgia is in line with the laws adopted by the Southern States, and raises another reason for the existence and active work of the Afro-American Council, which is against the whole penal system of the South, and urge the abolition of the convict lease system. The young teenile offenders are untainted and that female convicts be separated from male convicts. Wevoke the Divine favor upon our efforts to be good citizens in the grandest Republic on earth and to secure that meat should be served to the people which should inhere in the entire citizenship. T.

The Afro-American council, in convention assembled, recognizing the grave crisis which this country has reached in the struggle for the highest welfare of this our common fatherland, recommends and indoles the following resolutions: Resolved. That it is the duty of the U.S. government to ensure the life and property of its citizens are not taken from them without due process of law, and to this end we shall solemnly demand such national and constitutional rights that shall secure as great protection from more American citizens as is today afforded citizens of foreign countries resident here. We affirm that the widespread violence and assaults accused of lawbreaking, without affording them judge, jury or legal trial, is an offense against civilization which demands punishment, and we believe that such repressive legislation as shall OFFICE OF THE STATE EXECUTIVE OF KENTUCKY YOU ARE ORDERED TO DISPERSE OR YOU WILL BE COURTMARTIAH ED. SIGNED John Lockh prevent justice in America from becoming a byword and a mockery. Resolved, That we deeply deplore the prevalence of crime in this land. Although we do not believe crime among us, we have not yet perceived under the circumstances, yet we recognize the necessity of making it far less frequent than it is, and we heartily condemn the thief, the despoiler of women, the manhood, be he white or black, high or low. Resolved, That the attitude of trades unions and nearly all forms of organized labor toward Afro-American workers, the slave and crucible, the divine right to work ought to be taken from a people who have already had so many rights stripped from them. We recommend that a committee be appointed to work with the National Industrial commission and seek by every effort to bring about between white and Afro-American laborers that spirit of fraternity and co-operation which is to the best interests of both. Resolved. That we are heartily grieved that the president of United States and those in authority have not from time to time held the high station to voice the best conscience of the nation, to guard to mob violence and the fair treatment of justly deserving men. It is not right that American citizens should be resentful of life and liberty while the nation looks to us for guidance who, with conspicuous bravery, offer their lives for the country should have their promotion result in practical dismissal from the army. Resolved. That we especially recommend that Afro-Americans enter into business life and seek to become factors in the industrial development of America and this council desires especially to mechanics, merchants and inventors all possible aid and encouragement. Resolved. That the determination of some persons to base the right of surplus income on race rather than on intelligence and dangerous and un-American and bound to be the fruit in the future, and we sincerely trust that the good sense of the nation will preserve wisdom of its officers of justice will prevent the further progress of this fatal plan. Resolved. That since we and our fathers and our fathers' fathers were born in America, we should bind for American liberty and have tended for American wealth, it is just and we should enjoy the rights and share the benefits of a freezens, and we declare it to be our unamutable resolution to strive by all power and manly means to vindicate MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

ADDRESS TO THE NATION Adopted by the National Afro-American Council at Chicago, August 19, 1890. "We point with pride to the growth and national development of our country; to the place she occupies among the sisal nations; to the principles she proclaims to the people; to play, and to the doctrine she has amounted to 'governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed.'" "We congratulate ourselves upon the fact that the American people have never done anything against theress of the United States, but have always defended her honon when assailed byoes within or by enemies from withhold that the flag intrusted to our keeping has never been allowed to tilt the dust; that in all the wars in which this nation has been engaged, from Lexington to Santiago, the Afro-American has proved himself to be a good and soldier and the equal of any man in arms, according to his opportunities. "Through all the dark and cruel days of slavery he never raised his hand against the government and since he had defended himself, he has proved himself to be worthy of the new conditions in which he finds himself. His progress has no parallel in the history of the world. FROM POVERTY TO AFFLUENCE. "Giving out of slavery empty hands and ignorance and oppression the language he attempted to speak; hindered and hedged about by proscriptive laws and race prejudice born of a pre-step by the manhood and opposed at every step by the manhood and opposed at Anglo-Saxon civilization, he has forged his way to the front, untill today there are among us men who stand the peers of any in America.

"The Afro-Americans has observed the golden rule in that he conceded unto others what he maintains for himself; he upholds the doctrine taught by the Declaration of Independence as he decries the injustices of the slaves.

All he wants is fair play, and this he demands.

Long as the rights of the humbleest citizen are protected, civilization falls of its purpose and the ends of government are subverted. Men do not respect institutions that are not open to scope and execution. Paper blockades are not a form of nations, nor are they respected by the powers of the world. To receive recognition they must be effective in execution. Men want the thing offered to be a perfect example as a pattern of what is to follow. BLOW AIMED AT CASTE "The white people of this country claim to be superior to the Afro-American, and the Afro-American demands proof of that superiority. The first attribute of a superiority is the consideration for the weak and the humble. "Did the slave trader comply with that condition when he separated husband and wife, and the ancestry of the Afro-American's brethren does the Afro-American's brethren babe from its mother's breast and sold him for sordid gold to distant parts? What wrong had the Afro-American done doing the Afro-American do him now? "Another evidence of superiority is 'to suffer long and be patient.' Had half the insults and outrages hauled upon the Afro-American, the whites of a certain section been visited by Afro-American people of that section upon the whites, the land had hardly been able to contain the graves of the women of the South were oppressed by the 'best blood' of that section, and the mixed blood in our population is largely due to that fact. They were then sowing the women how they are 'reaping the whirlwind.' "When the white men were away fighting to dethrone the stars and stripes and to erect in its stead the emblem of the white men, the women of women at our mercy and could have slain them, but our superior nature asserted itself and not a hair of their heads was harmed.

A SOUTH CAROLINA TEA FARM. Dr. Charles U. Shepard of South Carolina. Is doing something practical in the development of a new industry which gives employment to -many Afro-Americans. It is a tea farm carried on at Pinehurst, Summerville, in that state. It was started in 1880, and last year the crop was 3,300 pounds. The average yield of tea in China is 150 pounds per acre, but Dr. Shepard has confidence that his farm will produce an average of 500 pounds during the present season. This is done by careful cultivation. The cost of cultivation is about 27 cents a pound, the greater part (about 14 cents) being the pay for picking. Every leaf has to be plucked separately from the bush and carefully selected, and to do this work, Dr. Shepard employs Afro-American children between the ages of 10 and 15. In order to secure a reliable corps of pickers, he established a school upon his estate, built a comfortable schoolhouse and engaged a competent teacher. The Afro-American families of the neighborhood were then invited to send their children to the school, with the understanding that they would be taught the ordinary branches, provided they would agree to spend a portion of the day picking tea, for --- which they would be paid by the pound and earn from 30 to 50 cents a day. The picking continues all summer. The tea gardens are picked about once every ten days and it usually takes two days for the children now employed to make the round of the garden. This offer was accepted by every one of the Afro-American families to which it was made, and in consequence Dr. Shepard is now supplied with a competent corps of tea pickers, with a reserve of young Afro-American girls in the neighborhood to be drawn from if additional help is needed. A smart girl can pick about twenty pounds of tea in a day. Dr. Shepard believes that tea can be grown in many parts of the south wherever the climate is not too severe. The experiments at Summerville have opened a new and important industry for the Afro-Americans of the south. THE APPEAL The success of The Appeal is remarkable. From a small beginning it has in sixteen years taken its place at the head of the procession—The Appeal is the leading Afro-American newspaper published and has the largest circulation of any paper of its class. More than thirty attempts have been made to publish Afro-American papers in Chicago since the advent of The Appeal, but all have failed. There is but one other Afro-American paper published regularly in the city. The Appeal has succeeded because it is the people's paper. It is not published in the interest of any particular clan or clique, but is the organ of all Afro-Americans. The Appeal has never claimed to be an illustrated paper, yet as a matter of absolute fact, it has every week, for years, printed more illustrations than any so-called illustrated Afro-American, paper in the country. The Appeal leads all Afro-American journals. Among the recent books is one from the pen of Dr. Theoplius E. S. Scholes, "The British Empire and Her Alliances; or Britain's Duty to Her Colonies and Her Subject Races." In the volume the author turns his attention to the United States, and states a fact in the following language: "It is well known that in localities where Colored American citizens live in large communities, the outrages (against them) have at times become so intense that they have had to flee to other places where their lives and property would be comparatively safe. It is no exaggeration to say that at this very moment the life and property of a respectable Colored citizen of the American union would be safer in so-called savage Africa than in many of the states of this civilized republic." CHICAGO SOUTH TOWN The Republican primaries will be held next Wednesday, and the South Town convention meets Thursday. It is important at this time that good, clean men be nominated, as the voters will scrutinize each carefully, and one whose record will not bear the flash of the search light ought not to receive the nomination. For years the South Town Clerkship has been conceded to the Afro-American voters. A number of the race will be nominated this time and the convention should see to it that a clean, honest, well-qualified man, who will be a credit to his race, is named. If the South Town Republicans make good nominations victory is assured. in the Circuit Court, at Louisville, Ky., last week, Thurston Fox, an Afro-American, was acquitted of the murder of a white man. When first tried Fox was unable to secure the evidence which was produced at the second trial, and he was convicted and sentenced to hang. Some prominent men were convinced that he was not guilty and a second trial was obtained with the above result. In the first case Fox was convicted on general principles, the color of his skin being the principal reason. A policeman, testifying in Judge Baker's court in Chicago, referred to an Afro-American youth as a "coon." Judge Baker said: "Why do you speak of that boy as a coon? He is no more of a coon than you are a monkey." Judge Baker is a democrat who makes no pretensions of love for the Afro-Americans, but he believes that decency of speech should be observed in court. Lynching is no cure for crime. It is nothing but a menace to society. The country of lynchings is the country of Winchester rifles and family feuds. The assassination of Goebel at Frankfort, Ky., Tuesday, is a natural result of the general laxity and a disposition to settle all controversies by force out of court. H. E. Frissell, superintendent of the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute at Hampton, Vn., says that there is quite as much opportunity for the black man as the white. Yes, in some lines. For instance, his chance of being lynched without cause is even better than his white brother's. President McKinley has summoned I. H. Loftin, the Afro-American postmaster, of Hogansville, Ga., to Washington, where he will be given a good department position, as it seems that the Hogansville whites will not become reconciled to have an Afro-American hand out their mail. A Bible trust is the latest in the trust line and prices are to be increased from 15 to 25 per cent. It seems that salvation, which has not been free for some time, is about to go up in price. "It Adam had worked 300 days each year present time at a salary of $80 a day, he would not have earned by this time as much property as is owned today by Rockefeller or Vanderbilt," said Dr. Wright of THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER THE BOOK WORLD A Private Office of Cyrus Field Adams, Publisher THE APPEAL, 323-325 Dearborn Street, Chicago, Ill., the most elegantly ap- "True Motherhood"—By James C. Fernald. There is no theme in which the whole world should be more vitally interested than this. There is a need to educate educational influences, as the sure method of uplifting the race, by planting the seeds of virtue, and checking the tendency to viole that we may neglect in the formative stage of life. It is important to educate the woman of which in any degree unfit hers for home life. On the contrary, it should only develop her larger beauty inherent in woman. It is important to educate the women ambitions for public life, which antagonize the home, that it grows into a wrong. But, this being only the exception, it makes no difference. Ignorant womanhood is far from the true "motherhood" in the best acceptance of that term. Our author has a large apprehension of the grand place women hold. He says: "Murk's heart and life need just the influences in the home which woman alone can provide for that she can add he will applaud and aid." She describes the world's civilization, the mediating the ages to come, depend on the distinctively womanly qualities of mind acting beautiful, best beauty and perfection in human homes. "For (the womanly home) there is absolutely no substitute. Language, which is but the crystallized tales of nations, tells the story, the speech, the military officer has his 'quarters', the sea captain his 'cabin', the herdsman his 'ranch', the student or clerk his 'room', or perhaps, his 'den', associated men have 'home'—and man as associated with her." He makes a comparison between the work of true mothers and that of great artists, and says: "Not all Rose Bonheira's canvas bulbs marbles, are equal to one ruddy, smiling, cooling baby, with just the right antecedents behind him and just the right training before him." The mother of *Charlotte*, a Luther, a Cromwell, a gladiators, or a Lincoln was doing the greatest work there was to do in the world in her time. If it had been necessary to train every woman in her generation to worthy motherhood in order to train that one, he makes a distinctive difference between the influence of men and women, thus: "If woman is ambitious to work for the future, in the home she may lay hold of it at the very end of her life." He makes a distinctive difference between the two sexes upon the world's public life is distinctive, one of the most striking distinctions. Private Office of Cyrus Field Ada moms will be found to be that man's influences is more for the present, woman's for the future. Man commands the existing, woman the coming age. The book is no glimmer picture for women of today and intelligence. It does not cry out against woman's taking an interest in the great work in which the world is interested, but it does claim that by the Great Master's hand she was fashioned to build and make beautiful earthly homes, and there she should mold and educate the coming generation that is to add to the world's wisdom. This is to be her great work, and all other must be seized. The world is both sexes to read and to study, and we might almost say that it is quite as helpful for men as for women. It is not strange that cultured women refuse to enter a home either as menals or ornaments. When woman has taken her place in the world, which she is destined to do, "true" fatherhood will come to the front as a question more important than it is now considered. We may say, in conclusion, that Mr. Fernald, who is master of elegant and vigorous diction, is a true father of women, and in a delicate, considerate, and philosophical way that even those who might be inclined to his views must read his argument with deep interest.

It is printed in clear-faced type, full gilt, with handsomely designed morocco covers, with many excellent illustrations, showing the Illinois of the past as well as the state at its tops. It contains a lot of information, wherein the topics are arranged in admirable order for easy reference. While Illinois does not date back to the earlier great events of the war, it may say, without disparagement to any, that it stands in the front of the states of the great West. It was in Illinois that the first white settlement was made. The state was thus the pioneer in Western civilization, and has continued to hold its advanced position throughout all the years since. Well may the editors emphasize "its stenographic development of its resources, the number of distinguished statesmen, Generals, and jurists it has furnished to the government, and its grand record in the exciting and perilous war against the anti-slavery battle was fought and won, before the marshalled hosts of 1861 entered the field. It gave its great and important role in the whole world acknowledged the wisdom and heroism of its Generals throughout the great conflict. Where so many great states did so well, there was none to mention. The part that did ill Illinois. The Union of today has grown so large as to make state histories a necessity. If the people are to have an intelligent knowledge of the past, there must be a deep and summarize from all reliable sources of information the part any single state has taken in working out the Nation's problems.

"Of Making One's Self Beautiful"—By W. C. Gannett. Mr. Gannett is the author of several little booklets of value, but none more certainly than this, which is deeply instructive and entertaining. The very naming of these booklets there is a desire of millions not alone, and being able to be beautiful. Our author says: "A word and a face are the two arch-wonders of creation." He argues that it is possible to change the face in all its expression from a booklet to its as "face-making." He compares the face to a road or a city pavement. He says: ns, Publisher THE APPEAL, 323-325 Dearborn Street, pointed Afro-American newspaper office in the count. "No scene of desert, storm, or earthquake is so appalling as the human face in ruins. It is because the follies and the sins of genius are added to accentuate them, are focused in this face that terrifies us. A face where sin has plowed its guildes deep is a glimpse of the man who had tought to by, by parentage or by example, with the driving of that plow. Is it not also plain why no sunrise, mountain top fume, pine blow, or snowfall has made its beauty as human faces their best? The intelligence, morality, ideals of the generations, augmented by the aspirations, and endeavors of another thirty years, have made their beauty delight. A smile of the subtest form of beauty in all the visible creation, and heaven breaks on the earth in the smiles of certain "Looking upon noble faces, we admire three things—features, color, and expression. these features, modes of brow and nose and cheek, of face, of personality, as suggested, from far ancestors; color and complexion, too are, in the main, bequests, depending on the quality of blood and health, the peace of God and the kindness of mind, but expression is very large our own affair. "Some Quaker eyes are organized spirituality; they bring heavenly thoughts to the simpleest or the roughest, the peace of God and the kindness of mind, but expression is very large our own affair. "A young girl often met a certain old Quaker lady in the horse cars, and asked her to turn and sald: "Won't you let me kiss you? "Yes, dear, certainly." The friendship, thus beginning, ripened, and then the malden, recalling this quiet first moment of it, asked her to turn and sald: "Won't you let me kiss you? "Yes, dear, certainly."

The work must be "good" and "educated," and that education can be had without college. "The three teachers are work, society, and books."

CYRUS FIELD ADAMS Editor and Publisher of the Afro-American Paper THE APPEAL. (From Chicago Daily Inter-Ocean.) About the time of the successful laying of the Atlantic City prison, when the name of Cyrus C. Pierce was born. The tongue, a child was born in the city of Chicago, was named to the man who linked two continents together. The parents of Cyrus Field Adams were Rev. Henry and Margaret P. Adams. Rev. Cyrus Field Adams attended the private school conducted until he was 8 years old, when he was sent to Cincinnati and placed in the public school. He entered the high school of Oberlin, Ohio, and later the college. He did not come to enter the high school of Oberlin, Ohio, and later occurred and he was obliged to leave the school and go to Cincinnati. His first employer was as office boy for the school. He was as messenger boy by the banking firm of Andrews, Bissel & Co. When the firm went out, he met other curiosities, and he was saved a little money, began business for himself as a dealer in foreign stamps, and coins, and other curiosities, and he was In 1877 he moved to Louisville, KY., where he accepted a place as teacher in the school district. He became curious business. In 1879 Mr. Adams and his brother John Q. commenced the publication of *Brownstein*, a weekly newspaper dedicated to the interest in the arts and sciences, which on account of its great enterprise was in a short time accorded the title of *Brownstein*. In 1882, although kept busy with his newspaper, school duties, and curiosity business, Mr. Adams found time to study German. He began to study for little more than a year, he began the instruction of a class in the language, and he began to teach the teachers of the Afro-American public schools of Louisville, and Mr. Adams used the natural method, teaching a fair co-operative knowledge of the language in six weeks. In 1884 Mr. Adams visited Europe and through the principal countries, spending himself in the language of the Father-meren when he returned to american he was appalled by the language in the State University, Louisville, Ky., where he remained one year. In 1885 Mr. Adams traveled through the United States teaching German-in-six-weeks classes in the principal schools of Louisville, by the fact that he is the possessor of eight gold and diamond medals presented classes in various parts of the country. In 1885 THE APPEAL was launched, the first of its kind in the United States and Dallas. THE APPEAL has built up a large clientele all over the largest circulation of any journal of its class. The paper has been Republican at the time and under all circumstances. During the last three years APPEAL was one of the most vigorously edited Afro-American newspapers, and it brought hard blows for protection and sound money. Mr. Adams has one of the largest collections of books, with 7,000 varieties, and is something of a living being conversant with several modern languages. Seven years ago Mr. Adams published *Afro-Americans changed places*. That is the whites were represented as a decadent group, while the blacks were ward themselves the attitude of toleration and condescension assumed by the whites. Mr. Adams also published *Afro-Americans changed places*. The times were cleverly phrased, white men tailing the place of black men, while black men tailing the place of white men. This issue of THE APPEAL attracted a lot attention because there was, in spite of the satire, the spirit of fun running through the treatment of most of the incidents. Envy is the medicine of fools.

In Palmyra Township, Illinois, stands the church in which the only preachers strike church, a neat two-story building, the first floor being used as a district schoolhouse, the second as a restitutionally furnished church room. This was a scene of the famous strike of the preachers, which occurred only a few days ago, when the order, in which Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians and Congregationalists were condemned for rotting in preaching, the compensation being $5 a Sabbath. One fatal day the matter was repaired, the compensation raised in preaching, signed an agreement not to preach for less than $1 a Sunday. The matter, on being communicated to the congregation, was raised a commotion. It was at once determined that the increase should not be countenanced. The first preachers were was closed for a year.

To stop lynching we must be brought to terms, and they are all white. They need regeneration and that work must be accomplished by some force or force that is then operating in our civilization at that time." "The country is drifting into anarchy. Day by day the lawless and barbarous spirit of the mob becomes more defiant. On Wednesday, as were, he so-called best minister of the Vatican or standing in their midst, without ordering the arrest of even one man, though all, or at least most of them, were well aware of the demolition of the altar of race hatred mounted in front of where George Washington was wont to worship and under the shadow of the capitol a helpless victim, because it was jeopardized that he annoyed a little white girl. "This act was not done by the so-called rough elements in the backwoods of Georgia or the rice swamps of South Georgia, or the pine swamps of the arid ana, but in the ancient city of Alexandria, which borders on the national capital of the great American people. The specter of that murdered man now hovers over that city, and there are those frightened by the stir of the sent to Richmond for Winchester, but Winchester cannot shoot to death nor to sleep the voice of outraged justice civil war. BEES CALAMITY IMPENDING. The lynch law is a national sin, and national sins are punished by national calamities, because there is no punishable for nations in the hereafter. How to put them to rest? The theory which should concern the Afro-Americans alone, but it is a condition which confronts the American people, civilization will call upon them to meet it. "The lynching of five Italians in the state of Louisiana may bring about international complications, and it certainly causes the arrest and punishment of a number of people perpetrated of the crime. Our government is known in international law as an entity, a state, a sovereign power, and we escape the responsibility of affording protection within its borders on the plea that the outrage was committed in a part of the Union and the rest of the Union is powerless to act. That would pervert the power of the Union and make it greater than the whole. We have abiding confidence in the ability of the government to act in every instance, and we call upon those in authority to exert power under the constitution for the protection of everybody within the jurisdiction of the United States. THEIR WANTS ANUMERATED. "As American citizens we expect to receive the same treatment that is accepted by the United States and we are willing to bear our share of the responsibilities. We ask that Afro-Americans in the military service of the United States be given an equal chance with the whites to fight for their country and share alike the emoluments of victory. "We ask for the appointment of an industrial commission to inquire into the condition of the Afro-Americans in the United States that we be given a fair hearing and that the minister of the census of the United States, not only in the clerical force and among the minor employees in the office, but the board of supervisors and among the special commissioners in the minister race be appointed on the board of commissioners to the Paris exposition; that a bill be passed by the next congress appropriating $20,000 as an indemnity to the Baker family of Lake City, S. C., and the resources at stake in Postmaster Baker's justice; that congress be asked to se amend the revised statutes of the United States as to place beyond quibbles the authority of the genial government to act at once in the case of lynchings. "We APPEAL FOR FRIENDSHIP. "We further recommend that our people use all honorable means at their disposal to cultivate a friendly feeling among the races in America; that patriotism be taught in each local Afro-American council and that good citizenship be the watchword in every home where Afro-Americans are assembled."
