THE APPEAL wants good reliable agents to canvass for subscribers at points not already covered. Write for our extraordinary inducements. SATURDAY. APRIL 11. 1903. That the Southerners intend to close the door of hope for the Afro-American, if let alone, becomes more patent every day. A few days since Thomas Rankin, an Afro-American, who had shown his superior fitness by standing at the head of the eligible list for appointment, was appointed as clerk in the postoffice at Alexandria, La. There was trouble over the appointment. The postoffice authorities ordered Postmaster Hunter to appoint Rankin at once to the clerkship and to discharge the white man temporarily filling it, refusing to admit 2w ti,ev -w,ttvc fusing to audit his accounts until he did so. After various changes of position, Rankin resigned the clerkship to which he had been appointed under pressure of the postal authorities. They accordingly withdrew their order to Postmaster Hunter, and a white man now fills the place. The curtain has been rung upon the great farce which is about to be played in Columbia, S. C. The grand jury on last Tuesday returned a true bill against James H. Tillman, charging him with the murder of N. G. Gonzales last January. The indictment also contains the charge of carrying concealed weapons. The law against carrying concealed weapons was enact- ed to prevent Afro-Americans from being armed, and white men were never molested under it. The case has been continued until next July. One M. Nabarrot, a French merchant of Paris, has asked the civil court to annul his marriage with his wife, who is an Afro-American. He claims he married her in Louisiana, and, in view of the fact that marriages between Afro-Americans and whites in that state are illegal, he wishes to take advantage of that law to have his marriage annulled. But 'it's hardly probable the French court would take advantage of such an unprincipled law. The March number of the Gazetteer and Guide Magazine, published monthly in Buffalo, N. Y., by James A. Ross, has just reached our sanctum and is a very creditable issue. It is an undisputable testimonial of the push progress and ubiquity of its wide awake editor. MUST SAVE HIMSELF. Booker T. Washington Discusses Race Question at Trenton N. J. Trenton, N. J., April 7.—A large audience assembled last night under the auspices of the Contemporary club to hear an address by Booker T. Washington on the race problem and its solution. "The Afro-American," said Mr. Washington, "must work out his own political and social salvation. The Russian seeks freedom with dynamite the Irishman with his rebellion, the African with his victories by his midnight prayers and his faith in God." National Business League. Editor, The Appeal:—I take the liberty of asking the use of the columns of your valued newspaper to remind our people of the fourth meeting of the Negro League to be held in Nashville, Tenn., during the coming summer. The people of Nashville have already begun making thorough and elaborate preparations for the next gathering League, and from every point of view the next gathering promises to be the largest and most important in the history of the organization. I especially desire to request that local League organizations be organized and sustained in every community where there are no such Leagues at the present time; and in this connection, to express the wish that new life and vigor be put into the work of the League. It seems to be the universal verdict of our people that since the organization of the National Negro Business League at Boston in 1800, the business community stimulated and increased throughout the country many per cent., and all agree that the National Negro Business League has more than justified its existence. It is important to loot the business community to send delegates to the national meeting to be held in Nashville. In this connection, I wish to call attention to the fact that the report of the proceedings of the third annual meeting of the National Negro Richmond, has been published, and that copies of the report may be secured by writing Mr. S. Laing Williams, compiler, 113 Adams street, Chicago, Illinois. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. President. The Newspaper Deadhead. Why should people ask for free newspapers, asks the Toronto Evening Telegram, any more than they look for free cigars, free umbrellas, free walking sticks, free collars, free cuffs or free beetseaks? Every copy of a newspaper is a product with the tobacco, the仓健, the仓健's furnisher or the grocer is not called upon to supply free copies of the products which they handle. The people who are aggrieved if they cannot get a free copy of a newspaper would not think of struggling for a place on the free list of a grocery store, a dry goods store, or butcher's shop. It is the principle more than the cost of the free newspaper idea which is repugnant to all sound business no Too Good to Lose. He fell on his neck and reminded him of the good old times. He mentioned the old playmate, and spoke tenderly of those who were dead. After the fifth one they were as long lost brothers, and so he ventured it. "Sam," he said, "lend me $50 till tomorrow. I'm a good friend of yours." "You are," the other murmured with enthusiasm. "You are the playmate of infancy, the friend of youth, and the impulse of the manhood of big boys, and a strange sadness greets into his voice so that it vibrated like the tones of some rich instrument. 'I can't lend you $50. Bill. You're too good a friend to lose.'" British Veteran in Poorhouse. Alexander Park, an inmate of the Onondaga county, New York, almshouse, is a survivor of the great Indian mutiny of nearly fifty years ago. The British government has learned of this and has informed State Charity Commissioner McCarthy that the English authorities will pay for the transportation of Park to England, where he is named for the fatal or English Veterans. Park was a member of the Bombay fuseliers and went through the awful scenes of Lucknow and Cawpore. He will be sent home at once. Congressmen Have New Joke. This is the latest jocular remark among members of congress when constituents press them for unobtainable positions: "I guess I'll have to get him a job as lineman with the Marconi company." About the Same Thing. "Do you think that our civilization tends to lengthen men's lives?" "I don't know...about that," answered the practical man; "but, with the increased facilities for travel and communication, a man can come present twice as much in given space of time as he used to."—Washington Star.

As an evidence of the change of view in which the South now holds Lincoln, the Southern States largely under the authority of the Union would have restored the personal and political representation in the Union on liberal or representative terms.

Letters and fragmentary sketches of John James Ingalls, and tender quality in the nature and character of his life, are manifest to the world in his public career. The country looked upon him as a man of tendency to satiate and keen exoration, which made him greatly feared by his contemporaries and which drew to the Senate galleries thousands of auditors whenever it was necessary to hear his words. But it is with Senator Ingalls as a man of deep and responsive affection, and as a man interested in the man interests of existence, that the book follows the letter affords an illustration of the phase of her husband's character, which Mrs Ingalls needs to emulate. *Dearest Wife: "Blue Grass" seems to that world will not willingly let doze.

Permanent organization was effected by the election of the following officers: Mrs. J. E. Porter, president. Mr. A. J. Bell, vice president. Mrs. V. D. Turner, secretary. Mrs. W. R. Godett, treasurer. A resolution was passed making all Afro-Americans in the state, members of the society, who signify a desire to become members.

Miss Lillian Beasly is still confined to her home by illness. Tomorrow being Easter Sunday the churches will have special services. The Appeal is on sale at Faulkner Afro-American news stand, 3104 State street. Mr. A. E. Manning of the Indiana- wors World, spent a few days in the city last week. The city council stands 35 repul- cans, 33 democrats, 1 independent an- 1 socialist. Mr. F. T. Reese, a popular society young man, left the city last week for West Baden, Indiana. Miss Fannie Smith, 3210 Dearborn street, is visiting friends and re- tatives in Kentucky and Ohio. Alonzo Malone and Charley Rice have returned from a two months' trip through California and the Southwest. THE APPEAL is without question the best advertising medium through which to reach the Afro-Americans of Chicago. The socialist ticket received more votes than the labor ticket. Cruice seems to have been a failure as a drawing card. Mr. Frank George, the well known locutionist, who is now residing in the East, is in the city visiting Mr. and Mrs. Joe Sheecraft. Subscribers for THE APPEAL who wish to discontinue the paper must send written notice to the office, properly dated and signed. Mrs. I. B.

Grace Stewart carried his own ward by a handsome majority, Honore Palmer, the democratic alderman of the ward, was elected. By the way, Carter Harrison and Boby Burke are also residents of the same ward. There must have been some "doins" up that way. Prof. Smallwood, who is begging money for some kind of a school in Virginia, is raising the Afro-American politics issue, and in a recent speech said he had no objection to "Jim Crow" cars. Such talk may go in "ole Virginy," but he ought not come to Chicago with such rot. Prejudice against the Afro-American is on the increase here, and such talk by one of the race serves to convince the Caucasians that the race is not worthy of good treatment. Grace Presbyterian. Tomorrow, from 12:30 to 2 p. m., a rare and instructive Easter program will be rendered by the young people of Grace Presbyterian Sabbath School, 3409 Dearborn street. Orchestra music, recitations and singing, "Rock of Ages" will be illustrated and sung as a solo, with violin accompaniment. There will be a chorus of children's voices, under the direction of Prof. W. A. Johnston. Come early, as our church is small. The committee in charge of the program consists of S. D.

After the hardest fought political battle ever waged in Chicago Carter Harrison has been elected for a fourth term as mayor. Although his plurality of two years ago was cut by about 20,000 votes he will be at the head of the city government two years more, and he positively promises that at the end of that time he will, for a while at least, "give us a rest." John Smulls, republican candidate for city attorney, and Fred C. Bender, for city clerk, beat their democratic competitors by handsome majorities. The result of the election is a great giveaway to the republicans, and at the next election they will "clean up." It is claimed that much fraud was practiced in several wards by the democrats, and a recount of the votes would, doubtless, greatly reduce Mr. Harrison's small plurality. According to Mr. Harrison's pre election statement, there will be no change in the government of the city; so we will have two more years of filthy streets, poor transportation facilities and general mismanagement of city affairs. Graeme Stewart made a great race, and only unfortunate circumstances over which he had no control defeated him. Two years from now he will be an easy winner. He conducted a vigorous, clean campaign, and demonstrated to the public that he has the ability and desire to give the city a business-like government. A study of the result shows that the Harlan vote went almost solidly for Stewart. IMPORTANT NEWSPAPER CHANGE. Henry Watterson's Courier-Journal Announces a New Policy. During Three Decades the Louisville Courier-Journal has stood unalterably and conspicuously before the public as the representative of the great commonality of the people against both the Robber Baron, seeking through the accretion of ill-got money to steal away the people's liberty by stealing away their franchise rights, and the ready-tool of the Robber Baron, the politician, masquerading as a Statesman and a patriot to serve the ends of his master. In fulfilling this high function it has sometimes had to go fast and sometimes to go slow, demanding it cry "onward," and sometimes to cry "halt," sometimes to drive at the root of things, and sometimes to drive ahead; but never changing the direction of its movement and always true to the underlying principle of its being, expressed by the simple demand for "The Greatest Good to the Greatest Number." With the advent of the New Year, that is on the first of January, 1903, the Courier-Journal began a campaign from which it looks for commanding results, and the better to reach the objects it has before it, the twice-a-week edition was changed to once-a-week, returning to the old Weekly Courier-Journal, which for a quarter of a century was literally a political book to millions of Americans who knew they could trust both its presence and its disinterestedness. The new Weekly Courier-Journal is modern in every respect, and is a paper for the course. It is issued every Wednesday, and its ten or twelve eight-night pages are filled with the best work of the best writers. The price of the paper is $1 a year, in advance, and it is well worth it. By a special arrangement with the publishers of the Courier-Journal you can get that paper and The Appeal one year for only $2.00. The National Afro-American Council ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY. It is evident to the thoughtful among us that we are passing through one of the most critical periods of our country this country, and that immediately we are liberty and well being of one-eighth of the United States and scarcely to less degree the whole population of the country are pressing for the right to be accorded experience of mankind teaches that in public matters the equality of each is the surest guarantee of the liberty and safety of members of society. It is also clear that the half slave it follows as a necessary corollary that the manhood of no state can with safety be divided equal to non-voters. A systematic effort has been inaugurated on the part of the South African government to form a branch from the Afro-Americans of that section, and their reduction to a position of seniority, and their reduction to a position of men of life. Even college graduates and men of business and wealth have been denied the right to be called members of the most prominent leaders of the South that it was the intention of the Afro-Americans to disaffess as many Afro-Americans as possible and leave every Caucasian in full possession of the right to vote. Only has the Afro-American been disfranchised but also that a very large number of Caucasians have participated in elections, have ceased to register and vote, and thus the very foundational institutions have been rendered insignificant. We contend for our constitutional rights on the basis of which, in the basis of the individual sovereignty of the American citizen, which in turn is the basis of the whole body politic, has been conferred upon its citizens by the Federal Government. The fact that not conferred by a single state but by all of the states, therefore the National Government can enforce the provisions of the Constitution, We heartily commend the Afro-America and other states, who are seeking redress through the courts of the land and we pledge them our moral and financial sup We denounce the mob murders now so prevalent in this country. We call the attention of the country to a condition of service on many farms in a number of the Southern states resembling the North and in violation of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution, and ask for legislation looking to the remedying of the issue. We submit our protest against the unfair practices in the transportation of passengers in Southern states, discriminating unjustly against Afro-Americans; traveling in the United States to travel and providing in return the poorest accommodations in carriage; and we invoke the exercise of the powers of the Court by that tribunal, to prevent discriminations in rates and accommodations against inter-state passengers. We call the Congress of the United States for favorable action upon the several measures now pending therein for the appointment of a commission to inquire into the condition of the Afro-Americans. We heartily endorse the deliverances of President Roosevelt with references to the attitude of the Federal Government toward all of its citizens, regardless of race or color. He has imparted new life to our nation through the traditions of human rights, and has given hope and inspiration to a people struggling heroically to benevolent the people of hate. We command Theodore Roosevelt to the affection and confidence of our people regardless of party affiliation. ALEXANDER WALTERS. Chairman Executive Committee. CYRUS FIELD ADAMS. Secretary. WILLIAM A.
