OVER 3,000 LYNCHINGS IN TWENTY YEARS. LIST OF VICTIMS OF 101 LYNCHINGS THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE IN 1901 AND ALLEGED CHARGES AGAINST THEM. Southern Clergyman's Masterly Discussion of the Lynching Evil.

OVER 3,000 Nearly All the Victims Neg and Great Majority o Crimes Occur in the Southern States. STUDENTS of government believe the lynching problem is fast reaching that point where drastic measures will have to be taken by Congress to check it. The State authorities seem wholly unable to cope with it. It was only a few months ago that THE TRIBUNE wrote to the Governor of every State in which lynchings are prevalent asking for suggestions as to the method of putting a stop to these insults to our courts. Only one in the entire lot offered anything at all tangible. He was of the opinion that if State laws were passed depriving all county officials of their office in counties where lilies would be taken place the effect would be more salariary than the other form of punishment. "Every holder of a public office guards his job as his life," wrote this Governor. "He bent every energy secure it in the first place and he will not be unturned to hold it. Let him know that his job is jeopardy and he will show more knowledge to do his duty." Most of the Governor simply throw up their hands in despair. "When the people want to control their passions then will lynchings cease," was the almost universal dictum. The truth is that in too many cases—especially in the Southern States—the officers of the law make only the feebest attempt to threaten the enemy. The police make loud and make many motions, but when the leaders say: "Turn over that man," the warrior generally compiles without further argument. Again, when the attention of the Southern Governors is called to the fate of the sort of war that man threats about bringing the guilty parties to justice, but the matter usually ends right there. Not in one case in a hundred is a sincere effort made to punish these breakers of law and order. One of the most disgraceful features in the evil is the steady drifting toward savagery. It was not until 1804 that even the most bloodthirsty mob demanded more than a man's life by the rope. Now they are not listened unless they burn their victim at the stake or treat him to the most inhuman LIST OF VICTIM JANUARY.

Samuel Williams, colored, complicity in Southern ONE of the best statements of the conditions in the South is found in the sermon delivered in St. James' Episcopal Church at 'Greenville, Miss., on Aug. 11 by the Rev. Quincy Ewing. He said: "It may be well to preface my remarks this morning with the statement that what I shall say of Mississippi might be said with equal justice of several other Southern States. I speak of Mississippi because I live in Mississippi, and am more intimately concerned with the state of Mississippi than with those of any other State. "My text in the Sermon on the Mount of Jesus Christ and the Constitution of the State of Mississippi. My subject suggested by the author is that it is no pleasure to me to speak upon this subject today. It is very decidedly painful to me, a Southern man, sired and grandmothered, and grandmothered by Southern women, and south of south than the latitude of this town; it is very decidedly painful to me to have to deal with this subject, and, in dealing with it, I am not satisfied with the said. It could give me no pleasure to need to speak out in denunciation of crime, lawlessness, brutality anywhere on earth; but perhaps it is a pardonable infirmity of human nature, and in denouncing and denouncing the sins of one's own land, one's own people, than in holding up the standard of moral protest against the sea or a Mason and Dixon's dike. I confess to such an infirmity. But I should be unfit to stand in this place if I allowed that infirmity to blind my eyes to one of the disasters perpetrated in this Southern land by Southern men; or to seal my lips from denunciation of that crime and the moral tone of the State, and especially of this State, today; the moral and especially of this State, and in certain quarters makes a virtue of it. "If some one were to declare in Boston that there were more Massachusetts murders in Massachusetts outside than inside the city, in temporary, or that the great majority of Massachusetts hanged, or imprisoned, or brought to trial, or arrested—who would doubt that an untrue and foolish thing had been said; that an absurd slander had been uttered against the fair name of Massachusetts? "But if some one were to stand up in Greenville and applaud the murders outside than inside the State prison; that the great majority of Mississippi murders are never hanged, or imprisoned, or brought to trial, or indicted, or arrested, or forced from one county to another, or killed by the police—if some one were to stand up in Greenville and say that, who could be sure that he had an untrue thing? Who could truthfully declare that an absurd slander had been uttered against the State? Who could fairly speak of the crime? Who could be so blind and so dull as to contend that the man of all colors and tortures. It will not be *be surprising* if the mobs next take to drawing and quartering their helpless victims. That seems to be only device of savagery so far overlooked. Many people openly predict a serious race war within the next few years. They point to such instances as the deplorable affair of Pleasant Mo. as well as out their predictions. Here the white people of the town—presumably the lower classes—declared that no colored man, woman, or child should again make his home in that place, or be allowed to work there, they drove out every inhabitant whose skin was not white. The year 1901 has still four months to run, you are the total number of lynchings and burrings. Hardly a day passes but that some poor colored man is denied what Americans are brought up to believe is their malenable right, a trial by jury. In fact, it is seldom reason why he should not be made to pay the extreme penalty. The growing frequency of lynchings and similar crimes by mobs has led THE TRUTH to only only an inductive research into the statistics of the evil. It was found that during the twenty years eating with Dec. 31, 1900, there had been a total of 3,026 cases, and that had been allowed to take its course. During the years 1881, 1882, 1883, and 1884 no detailed statistics were to be found. Beginning with the survey, THE TRIBUNE flies furnish all details of interest. The following table gives the totals by years: 1881 190 1893 200 1882 121 1893 189 1883 107 1895 189 1884 105 1896 131 1885 181 1897 166 1886 123 1898 127 1887 125 1899 107 1888 144 1900 115 1889 175 1901 101 1890 128 — 1891 179 Total 3,130 1892 236 11-George Catter, colored, tape, Paris, Ks 17-Thomas Jackson, colored, murder, SL B Peter, La. 18-George King, colored, appressed tape, Dyerburg, Tenn. 19-Oxenbier Fed, colored, arsen, Mason, Miss.

Clergyma races who have been hanged, or imprisoned, or tried, or arrested, or fined, or bothered for murder have not been outnumbered during the last ten years by the men of one race, and that race the one to which we belong, the count of 14 races who have met to together in bands and crowds and deliberately slain their fellow-men, setting aside all the forms of law and making of themselves murders, as clearly as he who lies in ambush and sends a bullet through the heart of his foe? Let me pass to another fact, which I suppose nobody will dispute; this namely, that white men do not lynch white men in the State of Mississippi, or so rarely as to create no problem for us to consider, that white men would not us by the spectacle of white men angaged again and again in the lynching of negroes. It is safe to say that the lynching of white men by white men would not be tolerated in this State; some way would speedily be found to put atop it to the unintended effect of lynching of lynching would be equally loud in condemnation of it. If lynchings of white men by white men were at all frequent. Now why, let me ask, are there so many lynchings of negroes in this State of Mississippi, and why are these lynchings appalled by so many people who have no hand in them? What is the explanation of, this fact? Is it that we don't want the negroes here, that they are in our way, that we want to get rid of them, and lychn in them to order them, and to make them in order to make it so hot for them, but they will get out of the State, and give us more room; more room to black out boots, to nurse our babies, and cook our dinners, and clean up our houses, and sweep out our stores, and drive our wagons, and labor in the fields, and dig our presses, and pile dirt on our levers in July sun, and plow our fields, and dig our sewer trenches, and plant and pick our cotton? Is it that we want more room to do these things ourselves, and take the negro by the other race of people, better qualified than he to do these things? Nay, this explanation could not explain: We are not trying to get rid of the nengo; we are not longing to pick our own cotton or black our own boots, or pile dirt on our backs; we are not anxious to replace him with any other race of people. We want the nengo to stay with us; his virtues appeal to the intelligence of our pockets, if not to the humanity of our hearts! Go from this county to another county, urging the pegroes to leave there and come here, and you will be likely to get warmer entertainment from the white citizens of that county than you desire. You might get a coat of tar and feathers or be ridden with your effort to rid them of the nengo he predecied by the aforesaid white citizens!

He tried to get rid of us, I have been told, to land in this county; and steamboats were not allowed to land in front of this town to take him away. I have been told that shotguns in the hands of white men forbade him to leave Washington County to seek a more comfortable place; and steamboats we don't want to get rid of the negro; he is our wealth producer; yet we lynch him; murder him: with as little sense of the law's offended majesty as we would possess us if we were killing a rattlesnake or a rabid dog; to get even with him, because we are trying first instance; for coming here and thriving here, and getting us so accustomed to him that we cannot now do without him, in spite of our dislike for him? Nay, for we all know that we were in the instance was not through any choice of him, we wanted him to come, and he thought of coming only when the coming was forced upon him only when he was in the power of white men whose business it was to buy him or steal him, in a salable condition! I buy if you come here in salable condition! ever saw a single negro whose ancestors came to this country of their own will, and not rather by the will of some of our ancestors. Do we lychek the negro because he has invented some new, stupendous crime that white men have no taste for, or because he is prone to indulge in many crimes that civilised white men have quite outgrown? The negro has not invented any new crime; he has not invented only; he is lynched, again and again, for crimes that white men have not outgrown and do frequently commit. We are likely to pick up a paper a day and read, with our any emotion of great surprise, that a negro has assaulted, beaten, assaulted and battery or some offense less than assault and battery! Look at that affair in the County of Carroll—that affair with its mob that couldn't be restrained in its madness, by the Governor of the State, the District, the Circuit Judge, and the '1 leading citizens. A white man suspects a negro boy of putting rough-on-rats in his drinking water. He gets up a party of his friends, and goes to the hospital to see the murders him.

Immediately a lynching mob is formed, and they are not going to kill the innocent. As to whom they lynch!

URING the sixteen years-1885 to 1900 inclusive—that detailed statistics have been kept by THE TRIBUN, the number of lynchings and other illegal executions, a total of 2,516. Of this number 2,690 were in the Southern States and 458 in the Northern; 2,465 of the victims were males and 51 females; 1,678 were negroes, 801 were whites; 21 were Indians; 9 were Chinese$^1$ and 7 were Christians. The crimes, or alleged crimes, which caused the people to take the law into their own hands come near exhausting the calendar. Murder and rage head the list in point of number, but there is a total of 112 other offenses given as excuses for exercising lynchings, of which the crimes were of the most petty nature. The crimes of lynching for slapping a child, another for jitting a girl, another for drunkenness, another for throwing stones, another for colonizing negroes, another for enticing a servant away; two paid the extreme penalty for sloping, two paid the extreme penalty for being, unpopular, two for practicing "doofus", three for keeping saloons, five for swimming, and two for gambling. Ten people were executed for no offense whatever, while 92 were lynched for unknown crimes, and 14 were charged with 14 deaths; white capes, Indians, 1 moonshiners, 1; desperados, 1. RECORD BY STATES Every State in the union, with only five exceptions, has been the scene of one or more lynchings during the last sixteen years, those being Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Utah. The State having the largest number is Mississippi, with 11 lynchings coming second, with 247, and Louisiana third with 221. Georgia has had 219. Alabama 210, and Tennessee 169. The Northern State holding the record for lynchings is Indiana, with 11 lynchings coming second, this Indian Territory having had 33, and Oklahoma—a new state—is 36.

His crime seem to have been that he was a servant—of the aged people he was a servant—of the cabin two hundred yards from their residence. He had prevented the murder of his employers, even if he was quietly in his bed asleep and had no dream that murder threatened them! And while the mob is engaged in this delicate rampage of bacteria the actual perpetrator, the leaders of the mob know that they are putting to death the only witnesses who could help them to a knowledge of the murderers at large, the number of them, and possibly the number of the victims, goes on—proving well enough that the mob was not moved so much by the desire to serve justice in a rude and barbarous way, as by the utterly despicable, brutal impulse to go out and kill a “lot o’ niggers,” because a woman and woman had been murdered by negroes: In the negro lynched in Mississippi because when he hs committed a crime it is hard to convict him of it—hard to convict him in a Mississippi court, before a Mississippi Judge, and a Mississippi jury, compared for the most severe charges, to a white man? Hard in Mississippi to convict a negro accused of crime, and send him to the farm, the penitentiary, or the gallow's. Why, to think the thought even humorously were torench upon the borderland of absurdity? How did the black men of them in Mississippi lest they should get the upper hand of us; lest they should negroize our politics and our government; lest they should forge to the front ahead of us, and thrust us into the backward place now occupied by them? Do we lynch them because we fear them? Do we lynch them because we fear them? If that is the reason, what becomes of our oft-repeated boast of race superiority, our oft-uttered conviction that the white man, by virtue of the natural, inherent superiority, is the lead and rule, and the black man, by reason of the natural inferiority of his intellect and character, to follow and serve? I cannot bring myself to believe that the dominant, white people of Mississippi enteral any such puerile fear! For none of my lessons are accepted is the dominant in Mississippi. He is lynched for the simple reason that in race he is an alien to the people who lynch him, and by reason of the law, as respected and administered, their underling, powerless to appeal to the dominant, replace them in Mississippi by other of all kinds make them also underlings, and as certain as the sun shines they would be lynched just as the negro is.

Can it be stopped? It can be, just as soon as the people of Mississippi elect a Legislature decent enough to want to stop the lynching of black people in all honor crown his head for the stand he has taken in this matter of negro-lynching in the face of his baited and venomous detractors. We have elected a decent Governor; now let the people of Mississippi elect a decent Legislature and the lynching demon will be bound with you. Elect a Legislature with manhood enough, with moral backbone enough, to pass a law simply imposing a big money fine upon any county in which a lynching occurs; and lynchings. I doubt not, would be rare of county in our counties that civilization has most progressed in the pocket of the lyncher and you will speeding get at his conscience!

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1901. AFRO-AMERICANS TO THE FORE In every crisis in the history of the Nation it seems that the hand of Providence has placed the Afro-Am- erican where he could be of the greatest use at the time when there was the greatest need. The first blood shed in the Revolutionary war was that of a black man—Crispus Attucks. In the darkest hop of the slave- holder's rebellion, 300,000 Afro-Am- erican soldiers entered into the struc- gle, and to these re-enforcements must be given the credit of making the victory of the North possible. In Cuba the black regulars fought their way over the bodies of white soldiers up San Juan Hill to victory and fame. Last week at Buffalo it was an Afro-American who threw himself upon the would-be assassin of President McAinley and prevented him from firing a third shot, thus saving the President's life. All honor to the Afro-American. The country can depend upon him wherever the Nation is in peril. GAS Mrs. Jenki - I don't think much of this reference. The Afro-Americans of the country owe it to themselves to give a testimonial to one of their number, James Parker, who saved the life of President McKinley last week at Buffalo. But for Parker's presence and prompt action Czolgosz would have fired and other shot and it is likely the President would have been killed. For several years the southern propaganda of abuse of the Afro-Americans has been constant. Northern magazines and newspapers have been filled with the vilest criticisms of the race. Southern lecturers have pictured the Afro-American as a brute. When James Parker felled the assassin Czolgosz Friday he saved President McKinley's life and unconsciously struck a blow for his race, for the wide publicity given to his noble actions may cause the American people to awake to the fact that the Afro-American is not a brute but a man. They seem to have forgotten that in every war Afro-Americans have fought for the flag. Now Providence has allowed an Afro-American to save the life of the ruler of the greatest Nation on earth. This may cause the American people to stop and think. Parker's action was noble, fearless, patriotic. How much will you give, reader? The attempted assassination of President McKinley has fully opened the eyes of this country in reference to those dangerous 'vipers, the anarchists; and, if congress does not take decided action tending toward their annihilation or subjection we will be very much mistaken. Then, too, the members may be more inclined to do something to suppress the lawlessness that is rife in the land which has resulted in 3,000 lynchings in twenty years, and no doubt had much to do with the attempt upon the life of the President. Just after we went to press last week the whole country was horrified by the dastardly attempt to assassinate President McKinley at Buffalo. The minutest details of the crime have been furnished to the world and every one except, the rew of God's creatures who are entirely devoid of hearts have been bowed in sorrow and sympathy. And, now, except those few heartless creatures, all are radiant with joy that the assassin's purpose failed, and that the President's life will be saved. THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER We reproduce in this issue a full page, article taken from the Chicago Tribune, showing that more than 3,000 mob murders have been committed in the United States within twenty years. It is a bloody record. For many years the Chicago Tribune has published lynching statistics and denounced this national disgrace in no uncertain terms. The Afro-Americans really owe the Tribune a debt of gratitude for its good work along this line. Anarchy is idiocy. If the anarchist could hope to end the existing government by killing the head of the government, there might be some excuse for his actions. This is impossible in America. Though an hundred presidents were killed the government would still stand. Two Southern states—Georgia and South Carolina, are contending over the honor of being the birthplace of James Parker, Afro-American who saved President McKinley's life. OUR MUNICIPAL PAWNSHOP. It Is Located in Manila—Charges 7 1-2 Per Cent a Year. When Uncle Sam took over the Philippines he annexed, among a lot of institutions entirely foreign to American soil and ideas, the municipal pawnbash and savings bank. El Monte Pledad y Caja de Ahorros—the Mount of Puffy and Box of Savings of Manila—is the only municipal pawnbash in the lands owned and operated by the United States. The concern was designed to get money both from the ant and the grasshopper—from the Tagalo humble, who would "soak" his ralent to get money to bet on next Sunday's cock fight, and also from the thrifty Chino mestizo, who would lay up for the rainy day. While the pawnbash charges the extremely low rate of 7½ per cent a year, the savings bank pays 4 per cent a year. In 1882, when the business was started, it was figured out, as well as Spaniard and Filipino could figure, that the difference, in the two rates of interest would be enough to run the pawnbash. Possibly it might in the hands of a more business like people. As it was, the institution ran well, becoming regularity. So, various loans were advanced. At one time the government gave to the Monte $80,000 per month for the earthquake fund of 1883. This fund, amounting to $350,000, was raised in Spain for the benefit of the Filipino sufferers, but in 1884 they hadn't got around to the distribution of it, and this $300,000 is all of the public that the public ever heard about. At first the savings bank didn't flourish. Sunday was the most convenient day to deposit, and the two hours on that day that the bank was open were the ones in which the pupils enjoyed their cock fights. But these hours were changed, and now the bank does a business of $1,000,000 a year—New York Press.

An Elevator in the Monument Not all of us have vieled the national capital from the top of Washington monument, but it will hereafter be easy to do so if on the spot. The shaft has been equipped with an elevator, and the new "lift," which rises 555 feet to the top, is provided with electrical cut-offs and mechanical grips of every kind so as to ensure the safety of the public. In the opinion of the government engineering officers, it would be impossible for the car to fall any distance, no matter how tight happen to the machinery. The vehicle must be put into service for the public for about week. In the meantime the machinery will be run daily and the attendants and engineers practiced in its operation. In favorable weather the view from the top of the monument is a magnificent one, comprehending the city and much historic country. A WELL-GUARDED FIREHOUSE. Sliding Pole Openings and All Protected A New Yorker who chanced upon the house of Truck 6 of the Jersey City fire department of Kayne Street, Jersey City, found there a man who had never seen in a fire-house before, namely, a completely wire-screened bunkroom, every opening, including not only the windows and doors, but the openings around the sliding poles as well, being perfectly guarded. The screening of the windows and doors is done in the usual manner. As to the sliding pole screens there are placed in them screens set horizontally, dividing in the middle around the pole and opening downward on spring hinges. These screens open readily under the fireman's height and close up instantly after he has passed. The purpose of the screens here was to keep out mosquitoes, which, as is more or less commonly found in there are now and then to be found in Jersey; but they serve also with equal effectiveness to keep out flies, of which was not a single one to be seen in the whole, big bunkroom on the occasion of this visit. It might incidentally be mentioned that the company in whose house these screens were seen is the highest-numbered truck company in the Jersey City fire department; that its truck is of the latest model with every sort of up-to-date equipment, including a 75-foot extension ladder and that it is drawn by a team of three big houses driven fast, all three in the metropolitan fashion and finally that Capt. Coleman and the men of his company are as stalwart looking a lot of firemen as anybody could wish to see.—New York Sun. Gladstone Was Orderly. John Morley, talking with a friend about his literary work at Hawarden, said that his labor had been greatly lessened by Mr. Gladstone's personal habits of order and regularity. Through the last sixty years of his life he only preserved every important letter, and the document that reached him, but he did not with his own hand and stowed it away in order of date. Among the papers docketed and stored at Hawarden in order of date Mr. Morley found notes of a speech delivered by Mr. Gladstone at the Oxford union just seventy years A Census of Smiths Approximately, there are now living In the United Kingdom 500,000 persons named Smith, i. e.: Smiths.

Thomas Hardy's Early Days Mr. Thomas Hardy has just reached his sixty-first birthday. He began to scribble, as he says himself, when he was sixteen, and in his early years appears to have acquired some reputation as a writer—as a caligraphist, if not as an author. Long before he was old enough to understand much about Cupid he would love love letters for the village girls to their soldier sweethearts in India. He did not compose the letters, but merely acted as amanuensis; but Mr. Hardy remembers to this day how he came to be regarded in the village as a sort of a writing machine.

The hall will seat 800 people, and the management is so confident that a large crowd will be in attendance that it has placed, the price of admission at the very low figure of 35 cents. The orchestra will be in attendance and numbered as permitted to make the evening pleasant and profitable for all. Owing to unavoidable circumstances the entertainment announced for the Lyceum Theatre last Monday was not given, but will be given at Century Avenue south, Monday night. Sept. 16, those holding tickets for Lyceum Theatre will be admitted upon presenting them at Century Hall Monday night. This will be Rev. Butler's farewell affair. Whether he will be returned or not, he will have two other churches have asked his help in the bishop for him. While his support at St. James has been meagre, he has promised his members that if the bishop wills he will return. A monster petition, signed by all the membcrs, a number of the leading citizens are asking his return. Mrs. D. E. Butler and Master Wall Hamilton Butler will, after conference adjourns, go to Memphis, Tenn. Mrs. Butler's home, to spend the winter, and will spend a week with williams in Springs, Miss, visiting the students. University, her alma mater, Rev. Butler has secured a down-town and has had plans already drawn up for a new church and contract is ready signed with building material at hand. Will he build if no serious objection is issued to conference. The affairs of his church are in such a condition that were he removed at this time it would almost mean an utter destruction to St. James.

The occasion was a farewell reception given by the young men of St. Paul in honor of Miss Florence French, who left Saturday night for Chicago. The concertable method that art could imagine, already attractive residence, and the spacious parlors and reception hall, with their decorations of palms and cut flowers, seemed a veritable garden of the gods. The ladies were all charmingly attired in light, airy evenness in the pallet young men in regulation with palent young beauty and talent vied with each other in making the occasion a most memorable one in the annals of society. A presentation speech was made by D. McCracken, to which Miss French responded, which served but to further endure her to the hearts of her St. Paul friends.

The story of the piece is said to be sufficiently lucid to prevent the performance from being rated as a vaudeville entertainment, interspersed with witty dialogue; the theme is applauded all the time, and is with joy that one hails the absence of those breaks which usually occur in creations of this kind, when a speciality is introduced. The specialties and songs are many and are heralded as being absolutely new and up-to-date, the action of the piece is rapid with no leisure to the fun from the rise of the curtain to its fall on the final act. The supporting company is said to be one of the best that has ever been put together to support a farce comedy, which has been adapted by Kennedy, who made such a decision with Hoyt's "A Trip of Chinatown" last season, in his very unique piano speciality; William Philbrick, also remembered as being one of the leading features in the same comedy; Mamie McKinney, who has the very talented daughter of the Rooney; Daisy King, long identified with George Lederer as a leading figure in his many spectacular productions. A number of very entertaining specialties are promised to be introduced in the action of the piece. The scenic effects are all entirely new and are most elaborate and complete scale.
