Entered as "We ask Thee, Lord, that Thou wilt raise up a man who will wield a damnable horror that this is a white man's country, and that thorought is no prince of the earth. Raise up some witch's son, who is now at his mother's side. Raise up some the black slave of to-day—not from the shackles of iron, but from the shackles of profit from hatred. Save the white man from his supervillainous oppression if he up him until he can learn to love his fellowman framed in God's own eyes. Rewall Dulight Prayer by Rev. Rowell Dight Millis, pastor of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, New York. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1903. "The Negro National Suffrage League of the United States," which met in Washington this week was a "hot proposition." The officers chosen were: James H. Hayes of Virginia, president; W. H. Riley of Pennsylvania, secretary; J. A. Taylor of Washington, D.C. treasurer. The convention remained in continuous session from 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. There were almost as many factions as there were delegates. There was even a full-fledged Democratic faction which claimed W. R. Hearst as its friend. For hours in the executive session there was excited discussion. At times the delegates hissed and jeered one another, just like white men in a convention. The terms "bodder," "political servings" and "cowards" were used frequently. The convention was not so formal. It was said that in the confusion some one walked away with the collection, amounting to $50. If the press reports are true the "suffrage convention" was a very lively affair. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat is responsible for the following: "Senator Gorman intimates that in the event of his nomination and election to the presidency, the only colored man to be entertained in the White House dining room, will be the one that waits on the table." To be entertained in the White House dining room is a courtesy of which almost anybody might well be proud, and whenever the circumstances make it the proper thing to extend to any man or set of men, it ought to be extended without reference to race, color or creed. And, if Semenorman makes such a circumstance, it will be represented by circumstances will a representative of a class of people, which constitutes one-seventh of the total population of the United States, be entertained in the White House dining room other than a servant, then God forbid that any such an unfair, unchristian, inhuman creature may ever have the power to give or withhold such a courtesy. J. SENATOR MARCUS A. HANNA. Chairman National Republican Committee. who was sent into this world to save sinners, will be celebrated with the usual religious and irreligious ceremonies and customs. It will be a day of gladness to most people, especially to those of whom Christ said: "Suffer them to come unto Me and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." Their little hearts will be filled with joy and expectancy, and in most cases realization. The older children, while they will have their sorrows, will too have their joys in seeing their children made happy with Christmas cheer. We wish all our readers a Merry Christmas. THANK PRE PROTEST AGAINST COLOR LINE IN LICAN PA Sub-Executive Commitee Afro-American Court Washington. Next to be at St. Louis 1904. Senate Require Nomination of Dr. C of Port of Charleston. The sub-committee committee of the Nati By the will of the late Mrs. Frederick Douglass, probated Monday at Washington, D.C., the Douglass home at Cedar Hill will be preserved as a perpetual memorial to the great Afro-American leader. The rooms are to be kept as they were in his lifetime and a fireproof building will be erected adjoining the present library, which his books, manuscripts, etc. are to be placed. This is an admirable arrangement to keep the memory of the great Douglass green. News of a plot to assassinate William F. Powell, United States minister at San Domingo, this week has admired this Minister Powell has been doing some very good work, and of course has made many enemies, and the "American diplomat" is being carefully guarded whenever he goes out. The Republican National committee has appointed a committee to investigate the question of the rights of the Afro-American. It consists of George B. Sheldon, New York; Myron T. Herrick, Ohio; J. E. Adelock, Delaware; J. G. Capers, South Carolina, and J. W. Lyons, Georgia. This has certainly been a year of prosperity for the Standard Oil Company. A dividend of $12,000,000 was paid Tuesday, which makes a total of $44,000,000 paid in dividends during the year. Of this enormous amount John D. Rockefeller receives about one-third. The Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias of North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australasia was incorporated at Washington Monday, by Supreme Chancellor S. W. Harries of West Virginia, and Supreme Attorney S. A. T. Watkins, of Illinois. Syracuse, N. Y., was treated to a spectacle a few days since, which was the result of slavery. Mrs. Caroline E. Hixon, bent and wrinkled with age, arrived in that city, having walked from Georgia, to seek relatives from whom she was separated fifty-six years ago. If whitecappers can be punished as those in Louisiana were by the supreme court, as shown in an article elsewhere, when white men are the victims, why cannot the same punishment be administered when Afro-American are the victims? The next Republican National Convention will be held in Chicago, June 21, 1904, and the nominee of that convention will be the next president of the United States, and unless all signs fall, his name will be Theodore Roosevelt. Lincoln, the first emancipator, who gave freedom to 4,000,000 slaves, was nominated in Chicago; Roosevelt, who refused to close the door of hope to 10,000,000 Afro-Americans, will be nominated in Chicago. So much stealing has been going on in this country recently, that it is not surprising that the Clover Leaf Railroad is accused of having defrauded other roads by collusion with scalpers. The Living Church Annual of the Episcopal church, just issued, shows that there is an alarming shortage of babies in the church. The decrease is 50 per cent. The national administration will be a spectator of the gubernatorial campaign in Illinois, instead of a participant in the fight. President Roosevelt refuses to discuss his nomination with callers. He says it is a matter which must be left to the people. It seems that the Dominicans have been plotting to kill Minister Powel "by accident." THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER. THANK PRESIDENT. PROTES! AGAINST DRAWING THE COLOR LINE IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. Sub-Executive Committee of National Afro-American Council Meets at Washington. Next Annual Meeting to be at St. Louis, September 6, 1904. Senate Requested to Confirm Nomination of Dr. Crum as Collector of Port of Charleston. The sub-committee of the executive committee of the National Afro-American Council met in Washington last week, and appointed committee of five to appear before the platform committee of the next Republican National Convention to urge that it takes vigorous action in reference to the practical denial in a number of States of suffrage to the Afro-American. The following resolutions were adopted: "We are opposed to the unrepublican principle of drawing the color line in the Republican party, which has been inaugurated in certain states to the detriment of the party and the injury of some of the most incompromising supporters of our policy because that the proposed reduction of representation in the Republican National Convention would be an injustice which the party should not perpetrate. "We take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the President for daring at all times to stand up for impartial justice and the manhood rights guaranteed by the Constitution and the laws based thereon. We not only affect the situation in any matter affecting the common rights of citizens, and sincerely believe that he has not sought to give us such. "He has treated us just like other citizens; we have never asked for more, and will not be satisfied with less. By announcing that he would not submit to the closing of the door of hope to us, he played the whole gamut of principles for which the nation stands, and for which its founders dedicated their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor." A resolution was adopted requesting the Senate speedily to confirm the renomination of Dr. Crum as collector of the port of Charleston. The office of national organizer, held by James H. Hayes, of Virginia, was declared vacant, and A. B. Cosey, of New Jersey, appointed to the place. Judge R. H. Terrell was appointed counsel for the District of Columbia. A commission appointed to revise the constitution. The Missouri members of the executive committee were authorized to proceed to make arrangements for the next annual meeting of the National Afro-American Council, which will be held in St. Louis, beginning Tuesday, September 6, 1904. Definite action was taken that the organization should no longer be nonpartisan in character. Saturday the members of the executive committee called on President Roosevelt and paid their respects. VERDICT FOR WHITECAP VICTIMS. Thirty Prominent Citizens of Louisiana must Pay to Each of Three Men $5,000. New Orleans, Dec. 15.—The Louisiana supreme court today gave damages for $5,000 each to Peter Warner, Rube Brown and Edward Warner against thirty prominent citizens of Dodson, in Winn parish, who had whitecapped them. The jury in the district court gave each the damages of the whitecapping $500. The supreme court increased the amount of damages to $5,000, and expressed in very emphatic language its opinion of whitecapping and similar acts of violence. A number of business houses were recently burned in Dodson, and there were threats that the entire town would be destroyed. Peter Warner, Rube Brown and Ed. Warner were suspected of being implicated in the fires. A committee decided to punish the suspected men. It was divided into three branches, each of which was authorized to punish one of the three suspects. They were taken to a lonely place in the woods, beaten, abused and maltreated, hung until unconscious, confessions were extorted from them, and they were then ordered to leave the town. What particularly incensed the supreme court was the fact that the grand jury of Winn parish was in session at the very moment these outages were committed and was engaged in investigating the Dodson fire. The whitecappers not only refused to wait its action, but also prevented witnesses who were summoned by the grand jury from going before the body, taking the law entirely into their own hands. Colorado will have in its national hard a battalion composed of Afro-Americans. Chicago owns the convention—great is Chicago.

"The man who is looked on as the most successful man in this country, is in the last analysis, a gambler or highway robber.

Afro-American Masons are Recognized. Last week the Afro-American Masons of Chicago held a jubilee, the occasion being the receipt of a message from the white Grand Lodge of New York, recognizing them as brother Masons. They exchanged representatives with the Most Worshipful St John's Grand Lodge of Illinois, Ancient and Free Accepted Masons, of which Rev. Dr. Wm. Grary, thirty-third degree, is Grand Master, and Hon. John G. Jones, thirty-third degree is Grand Secretary. This matter has been under consideration by the Grand Lodge of New York for several weeks, and finally it was decided by an overwhelming vote that St. John's Lodge of Illinois was as regular and legitimate as the country of white Masons in the country.

THAT'S THE BUTTER MILTON'S STAR BRAND BUTTER THE beginning of our Famous STAR BRAND BUTTER Is in the selection of herds and the care of the milk on the farm; then a critical inspection of the milk at our skimming stations, doubtful quality cream doesn't go into the "Star Brand" vat. The result of this extra care, at the beginning, is a pure and EXTRA fine flavored butter. Since we began making "Star Brand" in 1888, nearly every store in town has an "Extra Brand" of butter; the paper cap is all the extra there is to it. Grocerymen and butchers don't make butter—they have it shipped from some outside creamery and repack it into jars or prints—consequently comes to you second-handed. Buy our "Star Brand," and you have the freshest, purest and best butter possible. Packed in 2, 3 and 5 lb. jars right from the churn. MILTON DAIRY CO., COR. 9TH and WABASHA STS.
