THE GAZETTE to the oldest, and
has the largest bona fide circulation,
double that of any newspaper In the
Interest of Afro-Americans, published
In the state of Ohio, and comparison
with any will Immediately establish
Its rank as one of the NEWSIEST
AND BEST in the country.
Tearful Johnny Green, the stamp
clerk in the departments at Washing-
ton, D. C., some time ago, -where, O-
wliere, is he?
Have you noticed what little things
the big Negro office-holder" at Wash-
ington, I). ( have grown to be? Have
Lyons and Cheatham lost themselves
in the old .-hoes of Douglass, Langston
arid Bruce? My! what an opportun-
ity Congressman White has!
pected Mr. Payne to recommend ac-
tion affording the amplest protection
to this now repressed element. The
plea of the chairman of the national
committee is urged dn support of
purer politics. Purer may be in a re-
strictive sense, but not according to
the idea of absolute right and justice.
Mr. Paype may have desired to en-
hance and solidify the interest of the
party in a way as to gain recruits;
but the better way is to vindicate the
integrity of its dealings and to main-
tain against all odds its covenant.
. If there is to be any political pilfer-
ing, it certainly should not be in a
foul deal against that element now
already robbed, crippled and disfran-
chised through the callousness of a
government unfaithful to its obliga-
tions.
It is a scandal and a reproach upon
our government that so many shame-
ful encroachments have been perpe-
trated upon the liberty of the Afro-
American, and it becomes a matter of
surprise that Mr. Payne should have
resorted to such an unfair and un-
generous plan in order to preserve
what he is pleased to term purity in
politics. Thanks to Mr. Hanna and
to President MeKinJey that the thing
did not materialize.
AS LANDOWNERS, ETC.
First it is Root then it is Bliss, of j
New York state, for vice president. |
Little enthusiasm will be created by j
either as candidates. Jihe next na- j
tional contest between the two great
partics. is not going to be such an I
easv thing as some people seem to j
believe.
George Dixon, the featherweight I
champion pugilist of the world for so |
•many years, has at last been whipped, j
His record, however, surpasses that j
of all champion fighters, and will j
hardly be equalled for many vears to j
come. It is nonsense to say that Mc- j
Govern, the victor, is to-day Dixon's 1
equal when the latter was at his best. |
The little wonder had seen his best ]
days many months ago. He has j
whipped almost a regiment of com- ;
petitors. Remarkable record indeed! j
Ex-Lieut. Henry O. Flipper, in a
two-column article in a recent num-
ber of the Indianapolis Freeman,
makes clear the point made by The
Gazette in 1896 when our Ohio anti-
lynching or mob violence law was
enacted, and that it is a waste of
time and energy to appeal to other
than state assemblies or legislatures
for the enaction of such legislation.
He very pertinently characterizes the
movement on foot to have an anti-
Jynching bill introduced and passed in
congress, as "proposed legislation"
that "is impossib®', unnecessary and
inadvisable," and he is right, how-
ever much we n''iy regret the fact.
We shall give hi A article in The Ga-
zette at an early "ate.
JUDGE» TARVIN.
The more we consider the terrible
arid sad ease regarding the burning
in Kentucky of Coleman the more we
are convinced that, the man, Judge ;
Tarvin, is mainly responsible for the i
awful crime. No* offense more hu-
miliating and atrocious against the
laws of the country lias ever hap-
pened than that o*' the destruction of
the Afro-American Coleman, and yet
the whole affair is cha.rifea.ble to
I
Judge Tarvin of Kentucky, who aid- I
ed and abetted and induced a crime ;
which must forever blacken and curse j
ihis memory as l|>ng as the world I
stands. When Gov. Bradley had ex- j
erted every effort 'and exhausted every !
means in order to maintain the maj- j
esty of the law, this old judge, whose j
word was only to be spoken to be j
obeyed, remained silent at ia moment !
when he might have averted the dis-
graceful deed.
But the fact has since been devel-
oped that Judge. Tarvin is not a man,
as not a judge, but a political dema-
gogue seeking to ingratiate himself
with popular feeling of honor and the
law. Having been suggested for the |
vice presidency, he has so forgotten j
himself as to challenge Gov. Bradley j
for fight with cannon. But why all |
this bluster and hurrah in the face
of a mighty shame? The man Tax-
vin has overreached himself.
We believe in Afro-Americans ap-
plying every means and resorting to
any honorable method in order to ac-
cumulate wealth and maintain a
livelihood. It is not especially neces-
sary that the whole race shall ltecome
land ownners, but it is best that as
many as can possess land should do
so. No matter what be our other
attainments, the possession of prop-
erty in land is one of the most sub-
stantial means for wealth and inde-
pendence known among a people.
Some people sink themselves by own-
ing too much land, when by misman-
agement they fail to meet the burden
of taxation. But by wise and thrifty
management every individual may
realize a handsome revenue from his
lands. In this respect the Afro-
Americans in Virginia believe that in
farming lie the best possibilities of
the race. With might and main and
talent the majority of them have en-
tered upon this determination to own
land, to improve it and so apply the
means of profit as to enable them to
become a. great a.nd growing power in
that state. It is remarkable, and it
is a hopeful sign for the race that in
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Ten-
nessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Geor-
gia and Louisiana our people have ac-
cumulated tracts of land and are cul-
tivating them greatly to tiheir own
credit. But in Virginia very especial-
ly colored land owners are largely on
the increase. In this state they leave
the cities and become the owners ol
land in the rural districts, which from
statistics prove them a valuable acqui-
sition to 'the state. The census offi-
cials call attention to the fact that if
other states make a like s'howing as
Virginia, and the present rate of pro-
gress is kept up, one hundred years
from now will place the race upon
the same basis as the Whites in the
ownership of real and personal prop-
erty in this country. Census official
reports already show that there is an
increase of ownership in lands in
many of the states, and the next cen-
sus will reveal a gratifying progress
along this line.
A FIERCE ATTACK.
MR. PAYNE'S MOVE.
National Committeeman Payne may
have discovered peaceable grounds {
for seeking a chnge in the
basis of representation of a
state in its full representa-
tion in congress irrespective of the"
voting strength of the party in that
state. Mr. Payne designed to make
the national convention, which nom-
inates the republican ticket and for-
mulates platforms representative of
those who vote for republican prin-
ciples and that in subsequent conven-
tions this plan should obtain. But
it was seen by wise heads and those
who were on the alert F?iat a discrep-
ancy quite unfair and inexcusable
would arise, which would virtually
impair the right and validity of the •
colored voters of the south, whose
claims, though infringed, cannot be
justly abrogated. Naturally indeed
it might be expected that leading
Afro-American republicans of the
south would oppose such a change,
for with such a change of representa-
tion whatever advantages thev have
enjoyed in this respect would be elim-
inated. Loyal and faithful t— a fault,
the colored republican could not in
upon their already much a bused righ ts,
upon his already much abused rights.
The number of colored delegates is
duly authorized and exists by virtue
of a legitimate claim. The country
recognizes this fact, greatly to the
eh-ajne of our great constitutional gov-
ernment. So, instead of adopting
measures diminishing the number of
4X»k>recI delegates, we ehc-uld have ex-
Senator Fettigrew "Hakes Startling
Cliarsjes Against tlie Administra-
tion'* Supporters.
Washington, Jan. 12.—A spirited de-
bate wva« precipitated in the senate
Thursday on the Philippine question,
the basis for the speech-making being
a resolution of inquiry offered several
days ago by Mr. Pettigrew, to which
substitutes were proposed. Mr. Petti-
grew attacked the administration's
policy in the Philippines and also
made some startling charges against
those who were supporting the admin-
istration. He declared that a system-
atic effort was being made to prevent
accurate information from reaching
the people of the United States and
that it was a political scheme to fur-
ther the candidacy of Mr. McKinley
for renomination and re-election. The
debate was terminated by a resump-
tion of consideration of the currency
bill. Mr. Stewart (Nev.) made an elab-
orate speech on the question of the
national finances.
Before adjournment the senate
passed the bill conferring additional
powers upon the director of the cen-
sus, and a bill increasing the limit of
cost of the Indianapolis public build-
ing.
Bryan Won't Interfere.
Frankfort. Ky., Jan. 12.—The demo-
crats who are opposing Goebel claim
to have information that Col. W. J.
Bryan does not approve of the cm-
tests which are being prosecuted by
Goebel and other democratic candi-
dates. They went so far to-day as to
say that Bryan had written a letter
to Blackburn discouraging the eon-
tests. National Committeeman Wood-
son, who was in conference with Bry-
an in Chicago last Sunday, denies
these claims. It is said that Mr. Bry-
an feels that the democratic leaders
of this state are capable of settling
their own affairs.
Sbaw Begins His Second Term.
Des Moines, la., Jan. 12.—Gov. Les-
lie M. Shaw was inaugurated yester-
day for his second term as chief exec-
utive of the state. The oath of office
was administered by Chief Justice
Granger, of the state supreme court,
in the presence of 5.000 people. The
ceremonies consisted of a parade from
the state house, headed by a troop of
national guard. to the Auditorium,
where addresses were delivered by
Gov. Shaw and Lieut. Gov. Milliman.
Commissions to be Abolished.
Chicago. Jan. 12.—Representatives of
the eastern and southern railroads
yesterday decided to unite for the pur-
pose of stopping the payment of com-
missions on the sale of tickets. A
meeting of the general passenger
agents of the various railroads of the
east, southeast and south was called
for this purpose and it was decided to
abolish all commissions on February
1. About 30 railroads joined in the
action.
DEMOCRATIC RESOLUTIONS.
Iqdependt-x.aa for Filipinos Recom-
mended by Orynnite Repre-
sentatives.
The democrats in congress have not
been able to agree on a Philippine pol-
icy as yet. A few days ago Representa-
tive Williams, of Mississippi, offered a
i.eries of resolutions which, it is under-
wood. express the views of Mr. Bryan.
Those resolutions propose that the
United States shall recognize the right
of the Filipinos to national independ-
ence, and shall withdraw its land and
sea forces upon "the inauguration of a
constitutional government or govern-
ments by the people of the islands or
any of them."' Were the American
forces to stop fighting, Aguinaldo
would set- up in a day what he and
Representative Williams would call a
"constitutional government," because
there would be a written constitution
which would be so much waste paper.
Then it would be the duty of the United
States to move out.' But under the res-
olutions it would have to protect for
ten years the "constitutional govern-
ment or governments" against the ag-
gressions of foreign powers.
Senator Bacon, of Georgia, has of-
fered resolutions regarding the Philip-
pines which, though they differ from
those of Representative Williams, are,
it is understood, favored by many dem-
ocrats. These Bacon resolutions de-
clare that it is not the purpose of the
United States to maintain permanent
dominion over the Philippines, but that
it contemplates the establishment of
an independent government there ul-
timately, and that when a stable gov-
ernment shall have been established un-
der American supervision, "competent
and worthy in the judgment of the
United States to exercise the powers of
an independent government and pre-
serve peace and maintain order within
its jurisdiction," then national inde-
pendence shall be given the Filipinos.
The difference between these two
A JOB LOT PARTY.
Tfce Democracy at Present Ia a.
Queer Mixture of Political
Odds and Ends.
Recently a member of the house in
debate referred to Mr. Cleveland as the
greatest democrat since Jackson, and
the report says the remark caused de-
risive laughter on the democratic side.
The incident serves to show the torn-up
condition of the party. Cleveland is
the only man the democrats have re-
elected since Jackson's day. He re-
ceivwl the nomination three times. He
is the only democrat who has reached
the presidency since 1856. His second
term expired less than three years ago,
and yet his name excites nothing but
sarcastic merriment among the demo-
crats in congress. The point seems to
be a confession that the one demo-
cratic president in half a century was
one too many. His own partj", after re-
peatedly bestowing upon him their
highest honors through a long term'
of years, have nothing left for him but
a mocking laugh. If tney are right now
they were wrong in 1884, 18SS and 1892,
and are simply acknowledging an un-
limited capacity for making mistakes.
No doubt Mr. Cleveland has some
friends and admirers left in democratic
circles, but they can have little in com-
mon with the element now running the
organization. The party is split up in
so many ways that it is next to impossi-
ble to describe them all. There pre
gold democrats, silver democrats,
greenback democrats, expansion demo-
cats, anti-expansion democrats and oth-
er subdivisions too numerous to men-
tion. Only about 30 democrats could be
mustered to support the pretensions of
Roberts, of Utah, though their new
leader in the house tried to point the
way. It is true that Roberts has a par-
ticularly bad case, and it was therefore
a democratic blunder to attempt to
stand by him at all. As the session runs
on the public will be interested to see if
the democrats can aarree on anything-.

\
PROUD OF IT.
sets of resolutions is considerable. One
set contemplates the abandonment of
the islands by the United States when-
ever the Filipinos set up what they will
call a constitutional government, but
which will be a choice mixture of an-
archism and despotism, cemented to-
gether with blood. The other set pro-
poses that the islands shall not be
given -*p until American authority has
been fully established and the Filipinos
have proved to the satisfaction of the
United States that they are competent
to govern themselves. They are not
now. Humanly speaking, they never
will be. They do not belong in the
category of self-governing races. The
adoption of a constitution will not put
them there.
What is to be gained, then, by prom-
ising the Filipinos national independ-
ence when they are fit for it, when it
is plain that they never will be fit for
it, at least not until generations have
come and gone? The only effect of
such a promise, impossible of fulfill-
ment, will be to encourage -malcontent
Filipinos like Aguinaldo to keep on
insisting that they are fit for independ-
ence and shooting American sol-
diers to prove it. All these democratic
rsolutions—none of which will be adopt-
ed—will contemplate recognizing on
possible or impossible conditions, the
national independence of the Filipinos,
serve only to confirm Aguinaldo in the
belief that he has friends in this coua-
try, and thus encourage him to keep
on resisting the lawful authorities in
Luzon.—Chicago Tribune.
POLITICAL DRIFT.
CHon. John P. Altgeld says gold
is of no earthly use to anybody. If
Hon. John P. Altgeld ever runs for
office again this may cost him the en-
tire dental vote.—Chicago Tribune.
E^Some people do not know an an-
swer when they meet one. Bryan still
insists that there is a money "ques-
tion." With him it is probably "How
much can I touch the committee for?''
—Topeka Capital.
lC?"The Chicago democratic leaders
say that it is -very likely that Bryan
cannot carry Illinois next year. There
is nothing strange about that, how-
ever, for the same may be said of most
every state in the union.—Iowa State
Pegister.
tc^Gen. Lawton's last message to
his fellow-countrymen on the war in
the Philippines should be taken to
heart by all, but it is especially appli-
cable to the anti-imperialists. Just as
Admiral Dewey was misquoted by the
Boston enthusiasts, so Gen. Lawton's
view as to the campaign in Luzon
were grotesquely misrepresented. In
his letter to ex-Minister Barrett and
read at a banquet in New York, he
asks the imperialists "honestly to as-
certain the truth." — Philadelphia
Press
Their readiness to be mirthful over
their past record is not calculated to in-
spire confidence in their present or fu-
ture.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
AN ECHO OF 1896.
Calamity Howl That Is Hernials-
cent of tlie Bryan
Cnxnpaigrn.
The democratic calamity howlers
continue to lift up their voices and re-
fuse to be comforted. Here is the way
in which Hon. James A. Norton, of
Ohio, in a speech to the house of rep-
resentatives recently, lamented the evil
case of the country:
"There is an enormous amount of money
in the country, but its distribution is glar-
ingly unequal. In the vaults of Wall street,
in the coffers of the trusts, there is an
abundance, but amo'ng the toiling millions
there is penury and want. As for labor, all
over the land are seen closed factories.
Every branch of industry that the octopua
grasp of the trusts has gathered in—and
where is there one that has not been taken?
—has had competition destroyed. A fac-
tory here and there in each line of manu-
facture has been selected to continue in
operation, while hundreds of others und«r
the trust control are closed and silent as
the tomb, the operatives discharged by
tens of thousands, their traveling salesmen
called in and told that their services are
no longer needed, in one instance alone,
that of the tobacco trust, 3.000 salesmen,
'drummers,' losing their position in one day
because of trust 'prosperity.'
"Go over the nation, among the farmers
of the land. Are they prosperous? It is
true that nature has given them abundant
harvests, and the necessities of the world,
war. pestilence and famine, have combined
to temporarily raise the price of a few of
their products, but have their farms in-
creased in value, have their prices kept
eqral pace with improvements and the ad-
vancing price of bank stock? Is it not
true that land can b^purchased in almost
every farming comrrrtinity in the "United
States to-day at a price far below the orig-
inal cost of the same and the improvements
made thereon?"
This sounds like an echo of the sil-
verite speeches of 1S96 and is too palpa-
bly absurd to require refutation. — N.
Y. Sun.
^The Mobile Register (dem.) says
that "not many months ago the dis-
play of a Bryan picture to an assem-
bly in a Mobile theater would sure-
ly rouse a storm of applause, but that
time is no more." The other night,
when Mr. Bryan's picture was thrown
upon the screen, some applause fol-
lowed, with a few shouts in the upper
part of the house. Directly after a
McKinley picture was shown, and it
was greeted with applause equal to
that given to Bryan, some saying it
was twice as loud as that given to Mr.
Bryan. "The difference in quantity
is of no consequence," says the Reg-
ister; "the startling fact' being that
a Mobile assembly applauded McKin-
ley at all."—Indianapolis Journal.
