The topic before the Nineteenth
Century club at Sherry's last night

Rev. Joseph G. Price, of Livingston
college, in an easy manner and an
expression of high intelligence. He
was born slave and got an educa-

spoke before people, many of whose
ancestors owned slaves. He was fire.
quently and literally applauded. 1t
was conceded that he fully deserved
the recognition given his ability.
Mr.. Prices arguments contained a
number of new points which Presi-
dent Deming, of the club, remarked
ought to be more widely known both
North and South. The prejudice
of the country was not against the
color of the Negro, but his condition,
his character. 1t was a hundred
times better to give dignity and pres
tige to color by elevating and develop
ing character, by changing ignorance
to enlightenment, immortality to NOR
ality. poverty to wealth. A great ele-
ment in the solution of the problem
would be the division of the colored
vote. 1t has been aptly said that the
Negroes looked to Washington for
the redress of their wrongs when they
should have looked to their own
State legislatures. 1t was not neces-
sary to make new laws for the
Negro's benefit, but to enforce the
existing laws for white and black
alike.
Mr.. Price showed that the Negroes
in this country owned 264,0OO,OOO
of property, and it was not left to
them by rich ancestors, either.-New

White Caps Post Notice on a Church
Door, Causing a Sensation.

CALDWELL, Ohio, Jan. 28.-Some
weeks ago Gus Burke, colored, while
riding horse, ran over and fatally
injured Robert Davidson, one of the
most wealthy and highly respected
citizens of Noble county, near his
home at Frederickdale. Burke was
arrested, but was discharged without
penalty other than being bound over
to court. Since that time prejudice
has run high against Burke and his
bondsmen, one of whom is a COM
missioner of this county, and the
others are highly respected citizens.
Last night during the protracted
meeting at Freedom a "white cap"
notice was posted upon the church
door which read as follows
"John Cleary, Charles Craig
County Commissioners), Richard
Cleary, G. Large, G. Spalding, and
all who take the part of Gus Burke,
make him pay Joe Davidson's doctor
bill and damages. Then leave the
country or we will burn you out.
White Caps
The notice has caused no small
sensation in that community, as the
parties named in the notice are of
the first rank of this country. The
reputation of Burke is not of the
best, and he may be dealt with Sc
verely unless he at once makes him.

There were 241 persons lynched in
1892. There were 159 Afro Ameri-
cans among the victims. Four of
this number were lynched in the
North. One at Oxford, Ohio, one at
Port Jervis, New York, one at
Larned, and one at Hiawatha, Kan.
One was reported as being lynched
at Millersburg, Ohio, but that was
evidently an error.
The South claims 2O6 of the victims
and the North 35. There were 80
whites, one Indian and 5 women.
The South has claimed that they
only lynched colored men for com
mlttlng rape upon the white women
of that section. But unfortunately
the record is against them. Here it
IS: Rape, 40; murder, So; rioting,
y; race prejudice, 6; no cause given,
4; incendiarism, 6; robbery, 6; as
Sault, l; attempted murder, 2; at
tempted rape, 8; suspected robbery,
4; larceny, l alleged rape, l; self
defense, 1; insulting women, 2;'sus-
pected rape, 1 for being desperadoes,
6; no offense, boy and girl, 2;
fraud, 1.
The above figures do not in
clude the four colored men lynched
in the North. Louisiana lynched 80.
The population of the State is, L.
119, ,587, dividing that by 20, it shows
that one person in every 1882 in
that State took part in a lynching.
Although the whites have entire con-
troll of the machinery of the law.
If colored men were in control the
world would have an awful howl
about Negro inferiority and his in
capacity to govern. Another thing
is very clearly shown and that is
only about one-fifth of the number
lynehed in the South were charged
with the crime of rape. Probably
100 of the number murdered by
mobs in the South were entirely
innocent of any crime. Mobs are
not organized to find out whether
a man or woman is guilty or innocent,
but they are organized for the sole
purpose to condemn and kill.
There is no doubt but that not less
than 400 colored persons were muir
dered in the South in 1892. In
many cases it is worth a man life
to send one line from certain sections
of the South about an ordinary or pri-
vate killing, especially when the vic
tim is colored man. l had several
cases to come under my personal OBJ
servation in Texas during October
and November.
Early in October a colored man
was picking cotton near Wiley, Tex,
several young white men went out
and shot him dead for pastime and
told the telegraph operator to say
nothing about it, if he did they would
run him away.
Near Temple, Texas, Mr.. Baker
on Nov. End, shot colored man
dead whom he said insulted his wife.
Nothing was said about it.

such doings to go on without putting

The tabulation of the mortgage in
debtedness of the country by the census
bureau does not show that the New Eng
land States are very badly debt ridden in
comparisoa with the other States. The
per capita mortgage indebtedness in
Maine and New Hampshire is lower than
in any other Northern State yet tabu-
lated. The returns of New Hampshire,
which is the State most recently tabu-
lated, show it's mortgage indebtedness
to be fifty dollars per capita. In
Maine it is better yet, being only
forty-nine dollars per capita. In
Kansas it is $107, and in Nebraska
S126. In Massachusetts, the rate is
$144. In the Southern States the rate
in many instances is lower than in the
North, Alabama having mortgage in
debtedness per capita of only $26, while
that of Tennessee is still lower, being
only $23. These figures do not apply ex-
clusively to farms. Lots in. towns are
included as well, and form an important
element in the computation. For in
stance, half of the mortgages of New
Hampshire are on lots.

5.-The extra session should then adjourn,
leaving all further legislation for the regular
session.
Mr.. Harter is one of the most conspic-
uous of the sound money Democrats of
the House. and he has mapped out the
programme which, in his opinion, will
most surely accomplish what the sound
money men of both parties want accom-
plished at the special session, namely,
the repeal of the purchasing clause OF
the Sherman act. 1t will be seen that in
Mr.. Harter's programme there is no ref
erence to the tariff. Mr.. Harter has not
omitted that subject accidentally.
He is one of the leaders of the so called
revenue reform movement, and would
undoubtedly like to see the tariff at
tackled and modified at the earliest pos
sible opportunity. He has omitted the
tariff from his programme because I'M
doubtedly he sees clearly that to compli-
cate the currency question with the tar
iff question at the special session
would tend to defeat the reform of the
former and would not materially advance
the reform of the latter. 1t is a signifi-
can't fact that while Mr.. Harter, a sound
money Democrat and also tariff re-
former, would keep the tariff question
from the extra session, most of the silver
Democrats who have expressed them
selves are in favor of making the tariff a
prominent feature of the session.
