AFRO-AMERICAN SUFFRAGE JUSTIFIED. WHITE MEN'S ASSAULTS ON WOMEN. SOME ANTHROPOLOGY FOR BEN TILLMAN. THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1- It aims to publish all the news possible. 2- It does so impartially, wasting no words. 3- Its correspondents are able and energetic. VOL. 19. NO. 40. (From the Boston Herald.) To the Editor of the Herald: In a letter published in the Herald March 11th, I attempted to show that the incorporation of impartial, or, as it is better known, Afro-American suffrage, in the organic law of the United States was not only an act of justice, but political necessity. It is true that the Dereral southern states, by secession, terrorism, and succeeded to a great ext Afro-Americans from when they have allowed have nullified their vote, stuffing, dishonest count fraudulent methods. You What would have occurred had military rule been established and maintained in the South until social conditions improved and both freedmen and white men were better fitted for self-government is now a matter of pure reflection. It is not the public sentiment North and South, and was necessarily abandoned. The disloyal attitude of the ex-rebels toward the federal government and their passionate determination to deny all civil and political rights by the debates and the acts of the provisional conventions and legislatures, made it impossible for Congress to restore exclusive political power to white men and the resuscitation of their government and existing social and political conditions is ever warranted, it is safe to assert that, that the reorganization of the rebel states been intrusted exclusively to white men, the resuscitation of their government and the practical re-enslavement of the Afro-American would have resulted. In that event the immense waste and destruction of property incident to the civil war, the devastation of a nation, the horrors of Anderssonville and Libby prisons, would have gone for naught. Let us say, rather, they would have stood for all time as the ghastly record of a naive an unholy renewal of the old Union only to be dissolved a second time, and not to be permanently renewed until the fundamental law was made to govern and protect impartially every citizen and to race, color or previous condition. The Afro-American was emancipated from slavery by the war. His enfranchisement was not a "mistake," as you and many others believe. It was the inevitable sequence to his enfranchisement and its necessary confirmation. Neither has it been a "failure" unless in the sense that all suffrage is a failure,—a proposition from which, were it under discussion, I should earnestly dissent. BASE CONDUCT OF A FATHER. Macon Man Behind the Bars on a Shameless Charge. Macon, Ga., Sept. 14.—Fourteen-year-old Pearl Blanche, a well-developed, attractive-faced girl with a wealth of golden hair, when the Bible country grand jury convenes, recite before that body a story telling of the shameful conduct of her father. Sheriff Westcott was sitting in his office when a grown son of Blanche entered—Blanche, it seems, has three children. Blanche, Jones county, from which county the elder Blanche moved to Macon with his wife, daughter and youngest son and asked for a private interview. The sheriff led the way to his private office and without any inquiry, a narrative like of which is rarely heard in a section of the country where morals prevail and where law is upheld. The younger Blanche went into details of the base conduct of his father. It was a story to be recited only before a visitor knew well. With the completion of the complaint Sheriff Westcott convinced of its truth and decided to act at once. Summoning Deputy Stephans to his office the sheriff instructed him to take the once and hold him until accusation panels could be obtained. The arrest was kept quiet for a short time, but when it became known in the section in which Blanche resided there was deep indignation and some decidedly caustic talk. For the mother and girl, however, only expressions of sorrow were heard; the women were heard their failure to have taught the matter to the attention of the neighborhood—Special to Atlanta Constitution. On Serious Charge William M. Marcott, who says he recently came here from Shreveport to enter the employ of an advertising agency, was arrested in a lodging SOME It is in no offensive sense that Senator Tillman may be said to know less about the Negro than he thinks he does. It is our hope to enlighten him on this point and bring him to a more shrinking estimate of what he thinks he knows and of what he knows he thinks. In an address before an Illinois audience last week the South Carolina statesman repeated his familiar remark that "God made the earth and Africa proves it." What it proposed to show is that God did no such thing; on the contrary, that Bent Tillman himself, according to the latest scientific theories, is probably dependent on mankind. If there is scientific authority for such a conclusion, it may be surmised that Senator Ben might feel somewhat frazzled, for he holds no answers to the questions he God did two distinct jobs when white and black men were made. The study of race origin has been emphasized in the book *Race Origin*, surely, not to mention race and mas- sage. THE APPEAL. It is true that the Democrats of several southern states, by a resort to persecution, terrorism, and murder, have succeeded to a great extent in keeping the South from allowing them when they have allowed them to vote, have nullified their votes by ballot-box stuffing, dishonest counting, and other fraudulent methods. You may call this Afro-American suffrage. Afro-American suffrage is a prostitution to criminal uses, the mildest of which would justify the disfranchisement of the guilty parties. Afro-American suffrage in the North is a success. In the South it is not fully successful. With white suffrage in that section, notwithstanding the brutal and senseless obstacles it has encountered, it has justified a hundred-fold the action of the statesmen who are responsible for the murder of a reference to that part of the political history of South Carolina pertinent to this subject, recorded in "Governor Chamberlain's Administration in South Carolina," and other histories of the recon- Under the authority of an act of Congress passed March 2, 1867, and supplemented by an act passed March 23, 1867, the male citizens of the state, not only the white men, but ever race, color or previous condition, were asked to vote for or against calling a convention for the purpose of framing a constitution and civil government. In October, 1867, a total of 12,472, of whom 46,882 were white and 80,550 were Afro-American. The vote was taken in the following November. Exactly 2,350 white men voted; 1,050 were black men; 300 convention; that is, about 90 per cent of the registered white voters sullenly stayed away from the polls, and of the remaining 10 per cent nearly one-half emphasized the importance of the Afro-American as a citizen by opposing the convention. Of those who voted for it a large number, probably a majority, were "Yankee carpet baggers," and of the Afro-American as a citizen by opposing the convention.

Birmingham, Ala., Sept. 19.—At 3 o'clock this morning Mrs. William Blackwelder, wife of the Bastard master, visited the Bastard home conducting a revival, was awakened by a crash of glass and saw a well-dressed white man enter her window. She screamed once, but a pistol was put in her face and death to self and children and outrage of her person. She gave the thief her purse, which he opened, and finding only $3 in it, disgust threw it at her head without touching the money. After a vain search for money he emptied a five-gallon can of oil oil, which he found in the house, on the floor. She gave Mrs. Blackwelder and three children with the revolver. When the oil ignited he left on a bicycle. Mrs. Blackwelder was barely able to get herself and children out of the building before it burned to the ground. A $5 reward was offered for the invader.

In so brief a space no adequate statement of the various theories that have had their day can be presented, and for present purposes no such statement is necessary. Ethnologists and anthropologists have developed their science along a new line which does not make color of skin and eyes, texture of the hair, habitat, or language the supreme tests of racial origins. Shem, Ham and Japhet no longer have the great varieties of human beings. Even the modern classification of Huxley, by which the color of the hair and eyes was made to determine the race of European peoples, has gone into decline in the 19th century. It is likely the more scientific test of race is the shape of the skull, and this furnishes two fundamental divisions, the long heads and the broad heads. By measurements of many thousands of skulls in various countries, the lead authors have established an entirely new classification of races and to indicate their habitats in both ancient and modern all such regenerated voters shall have voted on the question of holding such convention." Of the Afro-Americans 66,418, or about 15 percent, were solidly for the convention. Not a single Afro-American vote was recorded against it. Of the delegates chosen 34 were whites and 63 were Afro-Americans. In other words, 63 were Afro-Americans in their group with 66,418 Afro-Americans called a convention, were accorded over 35 per cent of the entire delegation. This generous allotment certainly does not suggest any conspiracy to secure Afro-Americans from participation. It is frequently said that the significantly small white vote for the convention was due to the disfranchisement of a large number of men by Congress. Let us examine this plea. It is true that the act of disfranchisement was very sweeping, but it is also true that every man could have had the full rights of citizenship restored to him at any time by the law. Such applications were frequently made, and so far as I am able to ascertain, not one of them was ever refused. By an amnesty act passed by Congress May 22, 1872, the disabilities of every one were annulled except in the case of a few leaders, and in the case of a convention was called, the number disfranchised in South Carolina was 8,244. Had all of these men been registered voters and voted for the convention, the total number of whites in favor of it would have been 10,594, or less than one hundred, if admitted that such an assumption is entirely unwarranted, for there is no reason to believe that have a small proportion of them would have sympathized with the Afro-Americans and carpet baggers or pursued any course different from the native whites, who either refused to vote or voted against the convention.* The convention was held and a new constitution framed which compares favorably with that of Massachusetts or any other state. It was adopted by a large majority vote at a popular election in April, 1868, all state officers to initiate its operation being appointed the same time. The majority polled 35.553, the minority polled 27.28, 289 votes for the rejection of the new constitution, but they were of no avail MINISTER IN STRIPES.

WHITE MAN ASSAULTS CHILD. Sheriff Protecting Alleged Criminal at Greenville, Ga. Greenville, C., Sept. 12.—Last night, in West Greenville, about sun-down, Robert Gunnelis, white, criminally assaulted a 4-year-old Negro girl in the yard where the girl was play- times. Thus it happens that to-day the most advanced scientists divide the inhabitants of Europe, which we have been studying for centuries, into three races—the Teutonic, the Alpine and the Mediterranean. As these are all either long-headed or broad-headed, speaking in averages, according to the most fundamental classification, it is obvious that some subsidiary test comes into play in esculpting the Alpine race. The Alpine race, which resides chiefly in central Europe in countries around the Alps, is predominantly broad-headed, while both the Teutonic and the Mediterranean races are predominantly long-headed. The scientific discipline of the Mediterranean races thereupon is based mainly upon color of skin, eyes and hair and the physical stature—the northern Europeans being predominantly blondes and large-sized, and the southern Europeans being modest and comparatively diminutive. In working out the origin of these three great races of Europe, conclu- against the 70,758 ballots in favor of it, of which it is safe to say 90 per cent were cast by Afro-Americans. The new state officers, most, if not all of whom were white men, took office July 9, 1868, and the first legislature assembled on the same day. The senate, then, included seven Democrat, were white men, and only nine Afro-Americans. This gave the whites a majority of 15. The house of representatives consisted of 124 members; 48 of them, including 14 Democrat, were white men and 78 were Afro-Americans—an Afro-Canan minority of 29%. A joint ballot Afro-Americans had a majority of 18.* Thus ended the first chapter in the history of impartial manhood suffrage in South Carolina. The ballot restored the right to vote, but failure for the purposes of reconstruction. Out of a registration of 46,832 only about five per cent for a constitutional convention! Does not this tell us why the South Carolina dom of Afro-American suffrage was completely vindicated. The first use made of it was to put South Carolina back into the place made vacant when the rebellion was ratified the rebellion. The southern confederacy was destroyed by force of arms in the hands of federal soldiers. The Union was restored by the force of the ballot in the hands of the loyal white people. Had the intelligent and educated white men of South Carolina loyalty accepted the invitation of Congress to aid in the formation of a new government, the record of the six years following the establishment of the institution might have made one of the brightest pages in the history of the state, but they refused. They either sulked or actively opposed every effort to accomplish a reconstruction that did not recognize the old fetish of state rights and restrict the Afro-American to social mobility. The government they could easily have won and retained the confidence of the Afro-American, but by harsh, cruel and contemptuous treatment they taught him to fear and distrust them. Easily and naturally, very many of the freedmen adopted the standard of political morality set for them by the government, and scrupulous white men who entered the political field.

The Alpine or broad-headed race is supposed to have entered Europe from Asia and have cut like a wedge through the primitive inhabitants of the region. The primitive races of Europe were long-headed, as appears from the skulls found in many prehistoric graves dating from the stone age. It is believed that the present Teutonic and Mediterranean races are the survival of that primitivism, and the evidence in two by the broad-heads from the East; and that the blondness of the Teutonic peoples, as well as their exceptional stature, which now make them appear so different from the Mediterranean race, has been deemed "having been acquired" according to Prof. Ripley, in the relative isolation of Scandinavia through the modifying influences of from 1888 to 1874 was composed of honest and dishonest men of both races. Some of the whites were from the North and others were of the South, and the latter were prevailed, and for a few years extravagant expenditure, bribery, corruption and robbery were the rule rather than the exception. During the four years' administration of Gov. R. K. Scott the funded debt increased, and the importance of importance had been begun or completed. The increase largely represented theft, profit current expenditures, and, as a consequence, oppressive taxation. The succeeding administration of Gov. F. J. Moses, Jr., is said to have been a native of South Carolina and was known to be a thief. His election was opposed by the Republican bolters, by Hon. Reuben Tomlinson, a Philadelphia Quaker and as honest a man as such. He was a native of Quakerism. Here was another opportunity for the native whites to help redeem the state, but such their hatred of the Republican carpet bagger that they openly said they "preferred a native thief to an honest Yankee." Tomlinson received 25,000 In 1873, during the Moses administration, the public funded debt, amounting to $17,445,000, was divided into two parts; $11,480,000, called valid, was scaled 50 per cent upon the ground of a legal obligation to have "put on the market without any authority of law and to be 'absolutely null and void.' Apparently, public sentiment, without regard to race or party, approved this measure, is unnecessary to give an account here of the corruption under what was known as Afro-American rule down to 1874 inclusive. As has been shown, the whites had a majority in the Senate and a large majority in the house. The corruption was shared by whites and blacks. The whites, yet not blacks, were the more guilty. it is manifestly unfair to ascribe this political degradation to Afro-American suffrage and not to admit that white suffrage was fully as responsible. In my judgment it was in part due to the disloyal failure to vote in the 1873 election. The state that enabled scoundrels to obtain political control for a time and FOR BRUTAL CRIMES. Russell Bolles Is Being Taken from Westminster, B. C., to Denver Jennifer B. White, to Russell Bell who is being brought from Westminster, B. C., to stand trial in Denver for the murder of Harold Fridborn, was a huckster in this city when the ermes of which he stands accented on his life. On the evening of Dec. 31, 1901, Florence Fridborn, then 16 years old, went to a pond in North Denver to skate, accompanied by her brother Jennifer B. White, on their skies they were approached by a man, who pretended to search the boy's clothes for money and then turned to assault the girl. Harold, who was in the knocked down car, was told to the aid of his sister, who was fighting desperately. Thereupon the man struck the boy on the head with an axe, the blow killing him. The murderer then brutally assaults the girl beside her dead brother. Bolles left the city within a month after the crime was committed. After long search he was arrested at Westminster, B. C., through the efforts of Town Marshal Willis, of Sullivan, Ind., who accompanied him. Bolles was Westminster, where she yesterday positively identified the prisoner as her assailant and her brother's murder. A special from Vancouver says that Bolles bears a scar on his thumb where Miss Fridborn says she bit him when he assaulted her. In British Columbia the male was Bolles. Willis positively identified him as Bolles, whom he had known all his life. YOUNG GIRL ASSAULTED. Unknown Man Attacks Daughter of Buffalo Jones at Yellowstone. Helena, Mont. Sept. 23. A report just received from Yellowstone Park says that the 14-year-old daughter of environment and artificial selection." The more Tillmann part of the question is now presented: Where did those primitive long-skilled inhabitants of Europe, who gave to us out of their ancestry, ever long-skilled "Anglo-Saxons," come from? What was their ancestry? The answer is that probably they came from Africa. Follow the path of the long heads, and it will take you down the Iberian peninsula, where the ancestry of the land of the black races, who are overwhelmingly long-skilled. Senator Tillman shall not escape us, and, consequently, it is desirable to quote directly our authority for the claim that as an "Anglo-Saxon" he is directly descended from the German nation whose attention is directed to the chapter on European origins in Prof. Kipley's "The Races of Europe," and particularly to the following passages: "It would seem as if if the earliest race in Europe must have been very ancient." "The European aborigines of the stone are not Mongoloid like the to practice fraud only less disgraceful to our American civilization than the slave-driver's whip and the human auction block that had so recently been abolished. Daniel H. Chamberlain succeeded Moses as governor in December, 1874. He was a Republican carpet bagger, and had held the office of attorney, and was a member of the government. With the advent of Gov. Chamberlain a new legislature was elected. The Democratic vote was much larger than at any previous election. The House had 124 members, the Senate had 116, the Democrats, were white, and 61 were Afro-Americans, the latter all Republicans; a white majority of two. The Senate had 33 members. Of these 17, including 11 Democrats, were whites and 16 were blacks. Of the remaining of one. Thus, it will be seen that the two races were about equally represented in both branches. In point of intelligence and ability the Afro-American leaders were quite equal and often party. Gov. Chamberlain was a man of splendid ability, of absolute integrity and great resolution. In his inaugural address, referring to the reform efforts of his party, in particular campaign, he appealed to the Legislature to redeem them and promised his hearty co-operation. From the very beginning and down to the end of his administration, the corrupt wing of his party posed him, but it was generally defeated, sometimes by his use of the veto power, and at others by the majority votes of the Legislature. During his tenure, the party warmly indored by the entire Democratic press of the state. The Charleston News and Courier, which then had a larger circulation and greater or influence than perhaps all of the other newspapers, was his especial champion. In the month of July, 1876, it published a series of very long articles, ten in number, in which, in glowing terms, it named specifically the many reforms that had been proposed. The list was, in part, as follows: The contingent funds of the executive department, legislative expenses, legislative contingent expenses, cost of services, officers, tax levy for the current year, Buffalo Jones was assaulted by an unknown man at Mammoth Hot springs. "Buffalo" Jones is the caretaker of government bison in the park. He left the camp when he went to attend the herd of buffalo. Upon returning home he he found his daughter in an unconscious condition, as the result of severe treatment at the hands of an unknown man, who had attempted to assault her. She was attended by Fort Worth police. It is believed that when she regains consciousness she will be able to give some description of her assailant. On the discovery of the crime, both troops of cavalry were called out, and made a thorough search of the entire surrounding country. Two men were found at the resting place, who is direct evidence connecting them with the crime. PENSACOLA. Serious Charge against Stevedore.

The increasing long-headedness and extremaity of the African race led us * ** to derive it from some type parent to that of the African Negro." (Page 474). "It is certain that, after the partial occupation of western Europe by a dolichocephalic Africanoid type in the dolichocephalic population, the headed race of decidedly Africanities took place." (Page 470). There are numerous indications today that the primitive inhabitants of Europe were Africans. Thus in Sardinia, which has been ethnologically different from the rest of the population betrays to-day strongly African characteristics, such as the flattened nose and thick lips. It is an old saying that Africa begins with the Pyrenees; and Prof. Ripley asserts that the inhabitants of the Spanish mainland are "rarely important anthropological respects with the peoples inhabiting Africa north of the Sahara from the red (ta $2.40 PER YEAR.

The character of the officers of the government appointed by the executive has been improved. The tax laws have been amended so as to secure substantial uniformity and equality in the assessment of property for taxation. The settlement of the public debt has been maintained unchanged, and taken with the public creditor, so far as dependent upon the executive and legislative action, has been fully kept. Gov. Chamberlain richly deserved all the praise awarded him. The Legislature, however, was deserved by the corrupt and demagogical as any of its predecessors." This charge cannot be sustained. Unquestionably the legislative leaders of the corrupt wing of the Republican scrupulous men, and had a powerful influence over the rank and file. This was especially true of some of the Aro-American leaders, but by the confession of the News and Courier "back door" of the Democratic Democrats and stanch Republicans. In its list of the misdeeds of this Legislature there is not one charge of robbery. Most of them were deeds of omission rather than commissioning a crime in a party sense worse than crimes." Under the intelligent, honest and courageous leadership of Gov. Chamberlain the political atmosphere of South Carolina was fast being cleared. The governor, a former American suffrage was being rapidly vindicated. The Bourbon or "straight-out" section of the Democratic party was confounded by the prospect of a successful and prosperous administration of political affairs by the Republican party, composed as it was so largely of Afro-American voters, and popular indignation over the appointment by the Legislature to judicial office of two very irrelevant men, one an Afro-American named Whipper, and the other, ex-Gov.

But it is not necessary to go farther. Having shown, on scientific authority, that the Mediterranean and Teutonic races are probably descended from an early African-old type, we have carried the position that Stewart Williams himself if he is "Anglo-Saxon," is in a real sense, descended in no inconsiderable degree from the "nigger." The Senator is in error, finally, insaying that "God made a Negro inferior to a white man." What God did was to make a man; the various kinds of men have been the product of natural, earthly conditions. It has so happened that the man who entered the developed world in Africa, the man left in Africa, particularly that part of tropical Africa isolated from the rest of the world by the desert of Sahara and the oceans. A scientific writer named Marshall has the truth in his statement that "the white man and the Negro have been differentiation of selection and environment." Give the black race a chance, Mr. Tillman, and it will leap forward. Springfield Republican. Defective Page HAVE YOUR THE APPEAL ADAMS BROS. EDITORS AND PUBLISHERS 49 E. 4th St., St. Paul, Mn.

The pages of history fail to show a more horrible scheme than the attempts made in recent years by a number of Caucasians all over the country to prove the world that the Afro-Americans are a race of rapists. There is every reason to believe that if you plan to make a plan to make Afro-Americans appear as a lot of brutes by charging them with crimes of which they are often not guilty. That members of the race commit assaults on women cannot be denied, that women are not planned, that women is greater for the Caucasian than for the Afro-American. It must be remembered that many black men who are charged with assault with intent to commit rape are really guilty of nothing more than assault sections of the country "insolent." Negroes have been accused of rage and then trapped. In many cases white men have black and their faces, assaulted women and then poor black men have been charged with the crime and have been murdered. The Chicago Inter- Ocean has shown by the court records that white men in Chicago, last year, committed twice as many rapes as were charged. There are 1,033 convicts in Sing- Sing prison, New York. Of these 61 whites and 2 Afro-Americans were sentenced for rape; that is 6 per cent of the whites, but 1 per cent of the Americans who were guilty of assaults on women. Senator McEnery of Louisiana said recently in the Independent that "few white men are guilty of rape." The attention of the senator and others of his race who have misrepresented the state's views in the first page of this issue of THE APPEAL. The matter presented ought to prove instructive reading. The items are taken from the daily press and where no credit is given they are associated press despatches and are taken from the newspaper as they were published in the New Orleans Times-Democrat, New Orleans Picayune, St. Louis Globe Democrat, Atlanta Journal and other papers. There was no attempt to give the stories "scare head" as is almost invariably the case when the Pro-American is charged with crime. Recently in Minneapolis a black man was accused of abducting a white girl, and although physicians testified that the girl had not been outraged there was a great hue and cry about the matter. The black man is now serving a twenty-five year sentence for his crime. The next week a white man accused a girl of thirteen years yet the papers scarcely noticed the case and there was no excitement whatever, and the incident is about forgotten. The worst story in the list of crimes committed by Caucasian brides comes from North Carolina, where a white man has been sentenced to death by the judge, a daughter. The evidence presented proves that white men are guilty of crimes against women and children and during the past month they have been especially active in the nefarious work. During the past month, a black woman guarded the wives and children of the men who were fighting to rivet their chains more firmly, yet there is no record that a white woman or child was ever assisted. The man, who guarded the wives and children, he is a plain human being just like the Caucasian; he has his virtues and his vices just like the Caucasian he is no worse, no better, than his white brother, though a record of his crimes shows that white men commit more offenses proportionately against women than black men are guilty of. HE HAS MADE GOOD. The Portland Oregonian a northwestern copperhead paper says in a long editorial: "The Negro Must Make Good" and the howl has been taken up by the Southern press. In the darkest hour of the slaveholders' rebellion 200,000 Afro-Americans to the assistance of Northern arms and after saving the Nation proceed to "make good." "Ignorant, they up" the spelling book and they up the percentage of literacy had dropped from 95 per cent to 48 per cent. That's making good! Without property of any kind the race began to accumulate and in one generation the assessed value of personal and real property as shown by statistics had mounted to $1,000,000,000. Isn't that making good? Cotton is still king and two-thirds of all the cotton raised in the world is produced by the black labor of the South. That's making good! One of the assistant librarians in the Library of Congress, after years of investigation, told Afro-American the authors of more than 2,100 books and if those written by men of "colored" blood in other countries were included, the number would reach at least 2,600. It is evident that the Afro-American author has made good. Before the war, there were not half a million Afro-American surgeons and physicians even among the free Afro-Americans of the North; now there are thousands commanding incomes of from $1,000 to $10,000 per annum. One of these a surgeon who lives in Chicago was the first heart surgeon man. The Afro-American surgeon and physician has made good. An Afro-American artist has painted pictures so well that several of his productions have been purchased by the French government and now hang in the Louvre. That's making good. When a message comes over the telephone, its transmission is facilitated by an improvement on the original Bell receiver, invented by a pure Negro. Isn't that making good? The lightning express comes thunderby, drawn by a powerful locomotive whose working parts are biuricated by the firefighters. That's making good. An Afro-American lawyer who makes $20,000 per year is a rara avi, but he exists. There are no others in his class but hundreds of the race are proclaimed fair incomes and "making good." Thirty thousand Afro-Americans are teaching in the separate schools of the South and about a thousand in the mixed schools of the North. They are all middle schools. Afro-Americans of Richmond, Virginia have more than $1,000,000 deposited in the four banks in that city owned and controlled by Afro-Americans, and there are many cities. The Afro-American banker is making good. The 400 newspapers and periodicals issued by Afro-Americans have a combined circulation of more than 1,000,000 copies. The Afro-American is helping the race to "make Cotton mills, factories and industries owned by Afro-American and operated by men of the race, are making wealth for the proprietors and the workers and "making good." In every avocation business and profession in the country the Afro-American has his part and he is "mak- The Afro-American has already "made good!" ^^ MR. WINNETT OF CHICAGO. "There is a growing anti-Negro sentiment in the North," remarked Mr. J. M. Raleigh. "I see evidences of it not only in the schools, but also in all the big States of the Central West. In our Northern towns where the white patrons are beginning to despair their offspring to pay schools rather than be compliant even in regard to occupy the schools." The above is a specimen of the rot on the race question given out just for the purpose of making sentiment against the Afro-American people. The story given was evidently made out of the whole cloth. Three different persons represented the three APPEA leaders to the Raleigh hotel in Washington and inquired for "Mr. Gwinnett." In each case the hotel clerk said that no person by that name was at the hotel or had been there during the month of September. The name "Gwinnett" does not appear in the new Chicago city directory issued by the city. "Mr. Gwinnett" resides in Chicago he is evidently a new comer, who reached the city since July, but THE APPEALI is forced to conclude that the name is one assumed by an envoy of evil, whose mission is to create strife and race antagonisms. There may be a few persons in Chicago who hold the race question to "Mr. Gwinnett," the number is not great enough to menace the race harmony which now prevails. "RAYMOND" OF THE TRIBUNE. There can be no doubt that "Raymond," the Chicago Tribune correspondent, who has been writing letters from the South on the "race problem," has told some truth, but he has not told the whole truth. He was not the proper person to send on such a mission, for his references to "darkies," "saddle colored darkies" and the "tone" of his writings prove conclusively that he entered upon his work with a prejudice against one side of the problem (?) he is endeavoring to Raymond's pictures have been of the most degraded class of the race in the black belt. He made no attempt to give to the world the story of the independent farmers, the businessmen, the医务 and professional men of the race. Raymond was in Charleston but he failed to see the many beautiful homes, nicely furnished, presided over by educated and refined mothers—homes in which the problem has already been solved. Interviewed Prof. Du Bois, but he was described as an "intellectual abnormality," when as a matter of fact there are in the South hundreds, yes thousands, of Afro-Americans who will measure well with Prof. Du Bois. Like the average Caucasian, "Raymond" regards Washington, Du Bois, Council and a few others as people apart from the masses, and so they are, but there are thousands of Afro-American teachers, preachers, doctors, lawyers and others to the leaders in general intelligence, education and culture. Some of Raymond's statements are ridiculous, for instance, he wrote: "For every Booker Washington there are 500,000 debased Negroes." According to that, as there are about 10,000,000 Afro-Americans in the country only, the booker "would" ought to cut out the word "dark" and look up a few more of the intelligent, well-to-do Afro-Americans of the South. MR. NANCE OF ATLANTA. Wade H. Nance, who claimed to be a leading merchant of Atlanta, Ga., went to the police headquarters at the courthouse where he sensational story of having been drugged and robbed of $80 in money, a watch which was an heirloom, and a diamond ring worth $260. Of course he was a Negro. After having been fleeced, he said he was placed on a train and ejected in an unconscious condition at Alexandria, . . . across the river in Boston, where he was taken to a hospital. It now turns out that Wade was a plain, bar. Detectives were assigned to the case, and soon learned that Nance came with a woman named Mrs. Sanderson, and there was reason to believe that if Nance had any money or property, the woman had taken it from him for safe-keeping and the police there wired to Atlanta making inquiries about the woman. A reply came saying there was absolutely nothing in Nance's story. When Mrs. Sanderson left him he had nothing of value but his ticket to Atlanta and never had a diamond ring. Nance still had his ticket and when the police were going to investigate his story he quietly took his departure. The story has a lesson. When Nance told his lie the papers came out with black head lines—one paper had it: NEGRO DRUGS ATLANTA MAN. Prominent Atlanta Merchant Robbed of His Cash and Diamond Ring by Light Colored Negro. It is but one of many cases in which the sensational papers of the country injure all Afro-Americans by printing in flaming headlines accounts of crimes which were never committed. Nance is not a prominent merchant but a small dealer on Decatur street, the loafing place of the toughest characters the city affords. The Louisville Courier-Journal in an editorial on "The Negro in the North." says: "In what city in the North is there any avenue of employment except a limited menial position or a limited service for them as cooks, waiters in hotels or in apartment elevators. But no one can find a Negro plying a trowel, a plane or a handshaw, driving a public vehicle or pursuing trade when they could not attempt it with safety to their lives." Now that's amusing. As a matter of fact Afro-Americans are working at all the trades in the country and in many other occupations, they could not attempt it with safety to their lives. There are hundreds of union laborers among the Afro-Americans of Chicago and numbers get employment as clerks, stenographers, typewriters and other higher occupations from which they could not attempt it. The Afro-American lawyers, doctors and dentists of Chicago number, more than one hundred, and the bulk of their practice is among white people. One lawyer says that a physician makes not less than $10,000, and a dentist, who was elected president of an alumni association, tion, of which the 1,200 members, but he're white, and whose clientage is almost wholly confined to the most aristocratic Caucasians, is credited with an annual income of $9,000. These students are taught in the Afro-American professional incomes, but hundreds of other men of the race are practicing their professions; making from $1,000 to $5,000, and they are not in danger of their lives, either. Edward W. Carmack, the junior senator from Tennessee threatens to try his hand at solving the so-called "Negro problem," by offering a bill in the senate asking the repeal of the fifteenth amendment to the federal constitution. The senate passed a plea to the greatest civil wars the world has ever known resulted in the passing of the amendment. With a bill Senator Carmack hopes to wipe it off the constitution, * * * And doubtless the fifteenth amendment will remain on the constitution of the North. * * * * Senator Carmack and the Southern Democracy had better give it another try before they ask Uncle Sam to go back on his word. For this bad habit of going back on his word is one that Uncle Sam has never acquired and you should not. Let us hope that Mr. Carmack will do with his bill what little Bo Peep's sheep did with their tails—leave it behind him. White, the white people generally in this "land of the free and home of the brave" seem to have gone stark, staring mad on their idea of drawing the color line, it is the color line of the Presbyterian church on that subject. The committee on territorial limits of presbyteries appointed by the last general assembly has decided that the word "Negro" will not be used in the laws of the church laws or regulations. By this action the 15,000 Afro-American members of the denomination will not be set apart as a separate organization. This is the proper sort of Church, and the denomination being CHRISTIANS of all denominations, for of one blood God created all mankind. Then Peter opened his mouth and said, of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons. He is not a respecter of Him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with Him" Acts, X—34, 35. The Nashville Americans says: There will be no repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment, and if its repeal were accomplished a reduction of the South's representation would follow. But there are many Democrats who hold that even that the South to pay for the elimination of the Negro as a political factor." Or in other words, many Southerners would be willing to give up some of their power in Congress if the Afro-American could be reduced to slavery, for that's just what the repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment would mean. All thinking persons look at the deportation proposition of John Temple Graves from about the same jocular point of view as did Bushyhead, a famous Indian chief, who while visiting Washington years ago, was asking what he thought, "What is the Negro being bled by Senator Morgan, "It's the Flight thing to do," said he, "send all the Negroes back to Africa, where they belong, and the white folks to Europe, where they belong, and leave America for the red men to whom it properly belongs." The Roman Catholics of the country ought to feel kindly toward the Afro-American, for two Negroes have occupied the papal throne. Pope Victor, who reigned in A. D. 190 (Antiquates Apostolical by Rev. Wm. Cave, D. D. Vol. 1, p. 369), distinguished himself for zeal in an effort to ecclesiastical uniformity, the matter of celestiality. Easter. The 32d Pope Mechiaides was also an African (Cave Lives Vol. 1, p. 371). Chairman Dick of the Ohio State Republican Committee hit the nail squarely on the head in his letter Chairman Salen of the Ohio State committee he said that: "Mr. Hana's party has but one set party, that Mr. Clarke's party has a vast assortment of principles, sounding the entire gamut from doctrine to dogma—Democratic. Populistic. Agrarian, and Socialistic." The New Orleans Times Democrat says: "A Negro may commit any crime from pet larceny to criminal assault or murder without losing caste among his fellow blacks." This is base slander and the man who penned it knew that he was lying. The good Afro-Americans—and they outnumber the bad by a large minority—have no sympathy for criminals. This week the mighty city of Chicago has ben celebrating its one hundredth anniversary, but as a matter of fact the first settler was a San Domingo Negro, Jean Bain Bainte Point de Saible, who built 1777 where Chicago is. Chicago now has 2,000 inhabitants and the Afro-American residents own property assessed at $2,000,000. It is said that there is some discussion over the question of admitting Afro-American students to the federal school to be opened at Johnston City Tenn. in November. It is a question which ought not be discussed. If a man is good enough to risk his life for his country he ought not in his old age be the victim of hellish prejudices. Seventy-five per cent of the world's cotton is raised in the South and about ninety per cent of the actual labor in producing the cotton is performed by Afro-American in other cities, by African migrants," as they are called by men of the bentilman stripe, really produce two-thirds of all the cotton raised on the earth. President Roosevelt has put a quietue to the story, that he considered the Washington public schools "a failure" by giving the system the highest praise an American father can give it. He has entered his youngest son Quintin in the Force school, where his brother Archie was a pupil last year. The Charleston News and Courier continues to howl about the "crime against civilization," the "greatest mistake of modern times," the nausea of the nausea. The news of the occasion and Courier is called to the article on our first page. "Afro-American Survage Justified." Marriage brokers are having no trouble with white men who are trouble with black women to marry the Chocot girl, each one of whom is to Defective Page receive 220 acres of land and $2,500 in cash from the United States treasury. Money breaks the color line. The Socialists of Louisiana recently held their state convention in New Orleans. In their platform absolute equality for all men is declared a fundamental principle, but further on they demand a complete separation of the whites and the blacks. Bishop Candler in his recent denunciation of mob law, referred to the Josephine by the quality of the stuff for which these gentlemen (7) are paid $100 per talk it seems to us it is rather high priced. The Czar of Russia says that the Jews are responsible for the hatred felt against them; some of the Southern Caucasians who hate Afro-Americans claim that the race is responsible for the hatred which blackens their souls. Col. Youngblood of Alabama says that 90 per cent. of the Republicans of the South are opposed Roosevelt velt. The Republican few "lily whites" are opposed to the President but they cut no ice. Although the United States minister to Santo Domingo, the Hon. Alexander Powell, is an Afro-American, he seems to be representing this country in a very acceptable manner. We suppose he is another "freak." The evidence at the trial of the Daniell vynchers showed that five of the mob were wife beaters, while they claimed through their acts to be protecting the sacredness of womanhood. The Boston Transcript calls Bishop Turner "Mistaken Moses," and that's what any man is who attempts to lead away from their native land any class of American citizens. Representative Rodenberg of East Saint Louis, Illinois, says that there is a strong desire in Illinois and West for the nomination and election of President Roosevelt. There are bad Afro-Americans as well as bad Caucasians, but it is a monstrous injustice to hold an entire people responsible for the misdoings of individuals. Bishop Brown, the latest apologist for mob murders, should read Emerson. To Brown we say: Go put your creed into your deed Nor speak with double tongue. The Fifteenth Amendment was written in the Constitution with the blood of Northern patriots white and black. It will never be repealed. The suffrage cases brought by the Afro-Americans of Virginia will come before the supreme court of the United States this month. Harry Loomis Nelson writes that the great Northwest is enthusiastically for Theodore Roosevelt for President in 1904. Race prejudice must go, and go it will when the American people conclude to accept true Christianity. MYSTERIOUS ASSAULT. Made Upon a White Woman—Attempt to Burn Her House Also. About two weeks ago an attempt was made to burn the house of Mrs. Emma Russell, a housekeeper and friend, and 2 Seventh street South, Minneapolis. The fire was discovered and extinguished before it gained much headway. Last Saturday night, shortly after 11 o'clock, a tall heavily built man with dark hair and moustache entered her room and insisted on remaining. She attempted the room, but the fire entered her, threw in a couch and choked her. His foot slipped and she escaped from his hold and succeeded in rousing her landlord and his wife in another room. The man caught her again and dragged her back into her room, swearing he would kill her. The fire brought the man out of the house and he caught Mrs. Russell and tried to drag her out of the house. He finally went away. Sunday night another man came and insisted upon seeing Mrs. Russell. He was small, slight and smooth-faced. The landlord sent him aimy but he chased away. The identity and the motives of the visitors still remain a mystery. Detectives have been put upon the case. Oconomowoc.

The Most Debased of All American Citizens. A writer in the New York Sun, a Caucasian, says: 1. A study of Dr. Walter Lidawl's statistics and conclusions, as set forth in to-day's Sun editorial, leads one more surely and directly to the source of "the poisoning of the wells" of our moral and political life than do commissioners, who act as husbands and wives, such as immorality, cruelty and others of a similar character, which have to be proved before divorces are granted, and are doing so much to debase the nation, are almost entirely confined to the Anglo-Saxon or native American element. 2. That the Anglo-Saxon element is criminal of consent is proved by the race in this country is not reproducing itself. From an average of six children per family 100 years ago to none at all, or but one child, now, and that a regretable accident, is proof positive of degrading and demoralizing practices. 3. More than 95 per cent of the lawless criminal participants in lynchings and burnings, North as well as native American Anglo-Saxons. 4. The debauchers of the franchise (the purity of which your correspondents desire to preserve), the men who trade on the poverty, weakness and ignorance of the poor man and tempest of the poor, the men who them, are, as a rule, of the Anglo-Saxon race, and, being educated, they are the greater criminals against the moral well-being of the nation. 5. Those of our people who bought and sold human beings and lived by them, are the people with the greatest material and moral progress and the least effort. 6. In the cities, North and South, where the Anglo-Saxon element constitutes the greatest part of the population with the material and moral progress and the least effort. 7. In the cities, North and South, where the percentage of the Anglo-Saxon is smallest and European immigrants since the 50s the greatest there is the greatest progress, material and moral. "9. The greatest and most persistent enemies of our religious and political institutions who have done most to pull them down are mainly of the Anglo-Saxon race, themselves relapsing into the practices of paganism. WHITE BRUTE Rapes and Horribly Mistreats a Little Girl. Portland, MN. 21—The authorities have succeeded in tracing to this city the man wanted in Gorham for criminal assault on the 9-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Ham The crime was horrible, almost beyond belief. The man met his victim on a lonely road, picked her up and carried her into the woods. He then poured whisky down her throat until she was insensible. He was taken to a hospital, left her bleeding and senseless on the ground. The man came out to Gorham village from Portland on the car from Portland, arriving there at noon, and is believed to have returned early in the evening. He is dead. He was 70 years old, and fairly well dressed—Special Dispatch to Boston Herald. AFRO-AMERICAN SUFFRAGE JUS TIFIED Continued from First Page to make party nominations for the incoming state government with the hope of recovering control of the state. Fortunately for the Democrats, the state legislature had the support of their northern allies, who regarded the electoral vote of South Carolina as necessary to the election of Sam Houston as president for the Presidency. They were vigorously opposed by the conservative Democrats, led by the Charleston News and Courier, who pleaded with them in behalf of the honor and the best interests of the state not to oppose but to support Mr. Chamberlain's term by the Republicans was assured. The Bourbon strength combined with that of the national Democratic party, overpowered the conservatives, and Wade Hampton was nominated for the Governorship. Unequal to the occasion, the conservatives. Including the Republicans, fell into line and maintained their party allegiance. Race hatred, fraud, brutality, terrorism and murder were revived. Aluding to the campaign Gov. Chamberlain said: "I denounce the conduct of the recent election on the part of our political opponents in this state as a vast brutal outrage. Fraud, prosocialism, nongovernmental — ranging through all its degrees up to wanton murder— were its effective methods." Notwithstanding the infamous methods of the Democrats, they were unable to overcome entirely the majority of 30,000, that under honest and peaceful conditions belonged to the Republican in the Republican column. The electoral vote went, to Rutherford B. Hayes, the Republican candidate for the presidency, and the gubernatorial vote to Gov. Chamberlain. The Democrats, however, claimed the election, and the bitter contest followed. The Republican election. The electoral vote was given to Hayes. Gov. Chamberlain and the Republican party of South Carolina were betrayed and sacrificed, it is alleged, by Hayes through the mediation of his political friends. At all events, soon after the election, the federal support of Chamberlain was withdrawn. He was compelled to yield, and Wade Hampton was duly recognized as Governor. It was understood that Hampton had 20,000 armed men behind him, eager to gain the federal government the moment it was deserted by the newly elected Republican President.* Thus ended the second chapter of the history of Afro-American or impartial suffrage in South Carolina. Its successes and its failures are to be credited and charged with a major effort by an American can well afford to challenge a comparison of his record during that period, as a voter, a legislator, and an office-holder, with the record of the white man. It is true they shared the responsibility for fraud and corruption, and for the unjust stand condemned. But the fraud, and corruption, and theft, of which he was guilty, were mere political finesse and petty larceny when compared with the colossal fraud and wholesale robbery that are now the rule rather than the state and municipal governments. Judged by the same tests, he was then and is now as well fitted for the suffrage as mili- lions of other American voters, the mere suggestion of whose disfranchisement would be regarded with indignation and horror by the same men who parade the Afro-American's alleged low standard of civility and social conduct as conclusive evidence of his incapacity for self-government. The South Carolina freeman's political record, questionable as some of it may be, was fully as good as any one had a right to expect, and was better than the whites since then. It certainly was as good as that of the white men of the state during the same period and was better than that of the whites since then. The Afro-American used his political power to restore South Carolina to the Union. He annuled bonds obtained by the state to the Union to the rebellion. He abolished the whipping post and other barbarous forms of punishment which previous white state governments had established. He reduced capital felonies from about two to two or three. He abolished the laws of taxation laws with reference to Afro-American passed by the legislature in 1865 and 1866. His amendments legalizing former slave marriages were wise and important contributions to the development and maintenance of social order. He amended laws controlling juries by opening the jail床 to afro-Americans who had been debarred from it by property qualifications. He amended laws under town governments could borrow money at any amount. Some of the towns paid as high as 20 per cent. He prohibited them from borrowing at a greater rate of interest than 5 per cent. He limited the control of the state treasurer over the funds of the state by paying taxes of taxes for specific appropriations. By his acts of financial reform he transmitted to the Hampton government in 1877 an indebtedness which was only $2,500,000 greater than the bonded debt of the state before the Republic of the United States government in 1868. During the few years of his active political career he built school-houses, established charitable institutions, built and maintained the penitentiary system, provided for the education of the deaf and hard-of-hearing children, rebuilt the bridges and re-established the ferries. The whites had always regarded the public school system of the North with contempt. The freedman introduced and established it, and it stands today a living testimony to his failure to socialize.* As legislator he never discriminated against either race or class. His legislation, good or bad, applied equally to every citizen of the state. Whatever political power he had he shared fairly with male men, and there is not a single man who has socialized a loosely attempted to establish Afro-American supremacy as is so frequently alleged.$ At the close of 1876 Gov. Chamberlain declared his confidence not only in the "capacity" of the Afro-Americans and the necessity of good government in South Carolina. The Afro-Americans fully justified that confidence by indorsing Gov. Chamberlain's reform administration, and by nominating and electing a new governor, notwithstanding the fierce opposition of the corrupt wing of the Republican party and the brutal and mauritan campaign methods of the Democrats. The downfall of Chamberlain and the restoration of white supremacy sounded the death-knee of personal and political liberty in South Carolina. Under white supremacy the 15th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States has been nullified by dishonest and tricky legislation and the Afro-American has been practically disfranchised, regardless of character or qualification. No white man today, as I know from personal experience, can be a member of the Afro-American as an ordinary citizen of the United States without making himself liable to lawsuit and cowardly assault. Having vindicated his right to the suffrage, the Afro-American for over thirty years has carried out an effort to force him against force and fraud and race prejudice. The outlook at the moment is dark and discouraging, but he will triumph in the end. His rapid advance in the development of character and his acquisition of all the qualities that conduce to good citizenship will be a major success. Exclusive white suffrage is doomed. It must fail before the demand for a higher and more humane civilization. How much lower down it will drag the state before it is relegated to the list of political and social crimes that the white population has been in the second office of the state, from which he has recently resigned because he shot to death an unarmed political opponent in the open street. It has sent to the United States Senate the political boss of the state, an unarmed political opponent in the open street. He honorable Benjamin R. Tillman. One would think the lowest depth One would think the lowest depth had already been reached. Richard P. Hallowell. "General Wade Hampton, referring to the mistakes made by the whites, said that the amendment ratified the amendment of the United States Constitution known as Art. 10, which slavery was forever prohibited in the United States, said that "every man should register and cast his vote against the convention." In 1877, the annual American Cyclopedia, 1877, p. 697. Hampton became governor in 1876, and subsequently was a United States senator. "The preceding statistics, including those of the cavalry station, indicate that Hampton's son's institution was the Reconstruction, p. 374. Some of them differ from those quoted in the previous chapter, because in some respects they are more Carolina than those originally used. The latter were quoted from Allen's Governor of Carolina than those originally used. The latter were quoted from Allen's Governor of Carolina, pp. 5 and 6.

Rose Melville, that talented and artistic comedienne, in her unique characterization of the awkward country girl "Sis Hopkins," with her pigtails, fancy stockings and her mania for borrowing things, will be the attraction at the Grand following the engagement of "Across the Pacific." Theatre goers would complain if Sis failed to pay them a visit each season, and the bookings would not be complete if this attraction was not among them. This will be the fifth year of this successful comedy drama and it has been presented all over the United States and Canada to immense business. The story of Sis is too well known and no extended account is necessary. Suffice it to say that the laughter commences from the moment Sis Hopkins makes her appearance climbing over the fence to borrow all her neighbors household goods, and the laughter never lags until the curtain drops. The play abounds in strong drama and dramatic qualities. The presentation of the play this season will be the largest and best that has ever been given. A new scenic dress has been provided and the company selected this year is by all odds the most expensive one in the history of the play. The engagement is for the entire week with the usual Wednesday and Saturday matines. --- First-Class Laundry Work. Best In Every Respect. 509-511 Second Ave. 509-511 Second Ave., So., - Minneapolis.
