The Struve Block Rapidly Near
ing Completion.
The Genial Proprietor Happily En-
sconced in His New and Comfor'
table Quarters.
The New Building is an Ornament to the
City and to the Progressive SPIRIT
OF Mr.. w. F. Sruve.

Last Thursday Mr.lW. F. Struve, one OF
our substantial and patriotic citizens, who
has nearly completed business block on
the Northeast corner of the square,
moved into his new quarters and is
new comfortably located in his old
home, and his business latch string
and hospitality is still extended and hangs
at elbow touch to his numerous friends.
The stately and metropolitan looking
block certainly reflects credit upon the
enterprise aud ambition of our worthy
and clever citizen, and is an ornament to
our city.
The architects Of this commanding
structure are Messrs. Thompson and
Gibel, of Nashville, Tenn and the build
ing itself shows plainly that the above
firm understands their business thor
oughly, and got up a plan that for COD
venience and appointment in detail cans
not be easily improved upon.
The stone contractor was Mr.. John
Oman, also Of Nashville, and his designs
and workmanship of that character that
none but first class mechanic could per-
form, and his labor has been honestly and
very expertly done.
The brick work under the direction of
Mr.. Joseph w. Winston has been man
aged with masters hand, and the ap-
pearance of this special work convinces
one of the substantiability of the splendid
Job.
Our young but able and efficient con-
tractor, Mr.. Chas. E. Hutchens, had
charge of the carpenters work and had
general supervision over the construc-
ton work of the entire building, and to
| him much credit is given for the salts
| factory and expeditions work, and in
| future he can Ioint to the handsome
building with feelings of pride, that ''it
was one of his jobs"
The roofing and cornice work was skill;
by the firm of Timberlake & Nance.
Messrs. Hutchens s. Murdoch, the sold
leliables" saw to it that the plumbing
work was neatly and properly completed.
The attractive building fronts fifty six
feet on Washington street and ore hundred d
and fifty feet on Randolph street. 1t is three
stories high, with large basement; six
store rooms are on the ground floor and
twenty two Office rooms; also two large
halls 26x7S are on the upper floor. A
latest improved hydraulic elevator will
be used as carriage for the stories; and
the top floors will be supplied with iron
fire escapes.
The iron and steel material used in the
construction of the building was specially
manufactured by The Cahill Co., of Chat
tanooga.
We congratulate our esteemed citizen
upon such substantial evidence OF his
prosperity, and one that rebounds to tie
credit and upbuilding of our magnificent
city.
Mr.. Strives new building is splendidly
located and we doubt not but that by the
time his entire house is ready for occu~
pancy, he will experience no difficulty
whatever in finding ready renters of his
many convenient and well appointed
offices and business rooms

That Problem.

What can mean this great commotion
That we hear in every place?
Is it Ham in his deyotion
Asking justice for his race?
What crime has his race committed
That blind justice may not reign?
Has it shown itself untitled
To have rights that Others may?
Nay. Nay, oppression brings reply,
"Tis because the negro's black,
And what'er means his people try
Justice they must forever lack.
Now, this problem claims attention,
OF wise Hamites for and wide,
And white pens defyiug mention,
Do often work on justice side.
But till there be less contention,
'Mong the Hamites who do lead,i
Persecution will hatch invention,
To see that negroes burn and bleed
The negro should not condescend,
To wish nor seek amalgamation.
1t could not gal to him friend,
Japeth says, ''twould shame the nation. "
We think ourselves 'twould kill ambitions,
Removing causes for his striving.
The bee herself in such condition,
Becomes loafer az stops hiving.
Some there are for swift removing,
To far Afric's glooming shade,
To begin home improving
With the ready pick and spade.
We but say-without repining,
Till bridges span the oceans waves
The honest blacks, in years declining,
Will find in this broad. land their graves.
Let the negro bow imploring,
Help from God who fashioned ALL
Earnestness in thus adoring,
Will bring triumphs great and small.
The spirit of God to suffer condoning,
Will whisper to nations in some trance,
sSuccor those OF long time mourning.
AS He did to liberty-loving France.
Thus, Great God in thine frowning,
Thou leadest through crimson sea.
Turn back the foe, from future drowning,
But save Gl save, me and mine own.
Long may the GAZETTE live uplifted,
For wretched Fam intreats your.
With deepest love and speech, both gifted,
Go on great sheet in all thy power.

The Louisiana Lynching.

The details of the account of
lynchirg, in Jefferson parish, Louisi>
ana, publishing in our dispatches
Monday morniug, were SO shocking,
so disgraceful to the people who did
the murders, that we could but sus>
pact the account had been colored,
despite our faith in the care and
veracity of the Associated Press
Holding the matter in this light we
gave the lynchers the benefit OF our
doubt until we could get and ex-
aaejaaay 4uHn1rnga Tnese we have
seen, read their accounts with care
only to find that they put the lynch
ing in even worse light for the white
people Of the parish, than did the
Associated Press account. The
Times-Democrat says;
"The lynching was not only the
cold-blooded and brutal affair that
the generality of lynchings are, but
it had the added atrocity that the
three lynchees were, so far as known.
innocent of any crime deserving
any serious punishment, let alone
the punishment OF cruel and ig-
nominious death. The three men,
in fact, were not, and are not now
after the event, charged with any
Offense more heinous than the al
legged attempt to carry provisions to
their brother, the murderer, sup>
posed to be in hiding in the swamps''
Further on the same courageous
aud manly newspaper, with all the
facts before its editor, says:
"The Times Democrat ventures to
direct the immediate and earnest
attention of his excellency, Gov.
Foster, to the atrocity of this gratui-
tous and unprovoked lynching Of
negroes in jefferson parish, and to
the negro-persecating spirit which
is evidently pervading the :parish as

desirable citizens they may be. are
entitled to protection from outrage.
His excellency will be doing the
commonwealth and justice service,
and he will earn the gratitude of all
rightminded people, if he will rigor-
ously investigate the circumstances
attending this atrocious lynching and
take immediate and adequate steps
to put an end to the lawless crusade
which has been inaugurated a few
miles from this city"
The same tone pervades the Picay-
une and the other newspapers of
New Orleans. 1t is made plain to
their readers that the lynchers had
rot scrap of proof that the kins-
men and kinswomen of the assassin
of the judge, had seen him or rem

a band of Comanches, or the crue-
lest Italian banditti, and terribly dis

ty. 1t will be still more disgraceful
if the hideous murders are allowed
10 go unpunished.
The general lesson this horror in
culcates is one the Chattanooga
Times has often laid down in treat
ing of similar outrages on law, by
mobs. 1t is this: Once communi-
ty admits the right offs mob to lynch
men for peculiar crime, that COM
munity virtually turns 'over all ad.
ministration Of justice to the mob.
The liberation of lynch law is as the
letting out of water. If man may
be hung for a capital offence by a
band of rioters, and it is "all right" "
by parting of reasoning the same
band may whip an alleged thief or a
frail woman half to death for their
offenses. If a murderer or rapist
is to be turned over to the tender
mercies of an infuriated, unreason-
ing and usually drunken gang, to
wreak revenge on him, why shall we
be astonished when whitecaps proe
pose to regulate their neighbors
morals, as they do in Southern In
diana, or their business affairs, as are
doing bands Of irresponsible scoun-
drels in Northern Mississippi
