DENOUNCED As BARBARIANS
The Verdict A gainst the White People
of the South by a Negro Church Con,
ference of New York

New York, May 15.-The seventy
eighth session of the African-American
Methodist Episcopal Zion Church on
ference for eastern New York today
unanimously approved the report of the
committee on 1.-The state of the coun-
try" which includes the following:
w deplore the sad and barbarous
incident at Wilmington, N. c., which
has ~blackened the fair name of the Old
North States, and for which Senator
Tillman, Of South Carolina, is respon-
sible. Not only does his incident, but
others as hideous and b~arbarous, bring
to u minds the burning Of Sam Hose
at the stake in Georgia, the barbarity
of which could only be exceeded by the
cannibals in u~ncivilized sections-a blot
upon the pages of American history
the recent lynchings in Tennessee, Mis-
sissippi and Alabama, the shooting of
a lumber of colored prisoners in Geor-
gia and the attempted lynching of a
colored man in New York and strikes
in the mining districts, denote the bar
barrie trend of the American people, all
of which we condemn as u~nbecoming a
great United States government.
various plans nave been advanced
as solutions of these great wrongs and
Wanton violations of law. Many per-
sons advocate recCurs to arms, but
your committee, after carefully study
ing the conditions, deprecate any such
plan to the solution of this great prob
lem. We would recommend that the
best thing to be done is to demand
protection from the law-making bodies,
through the candidate who asks for the
suffrages Of the people,"

on our men in this vicinity. The men
were not in sufficient numbers to hold
out any longer and they were forced
along by a charge which it was i'm
possible to Withstand. Ensign Monag-
han did tand. He stood steadfast by
his wounded superior and friend; one
rifle against brave man
against a score of savages. He knew
he was doomed. He could not yield.
He died in heroic performance of duty.
The number of cartridges fired by each
Of the bluejackets averaged thirty.
From what appears to be reliable au-
thority, forty of the assailants were
killed and fifty wounded. This infor-
nation was obtained several days after
the engagement. Whenever our men
could get cover they turned and fired"

a meeting today in Mr.. Vanderlip's Of

The committee will be glad to serve
any newspaper, organization or indi-
vidual, wishing to make a contribution
for the purpose in view. The national

proper one to have charge of the mat

work will cooperate with this commit
tee. Roberts is now prepar-
ed to receive contributions in any
amount. A handsomely designed re-
ceipt will be gotten out Immediately
by the engravers at the bureau of en-
craving and printing n all contribu-
tors will receive such a receipt. A for
NAL address to the public, probably,
will be issued soon. The first subscrip-
ton to the fund, $3.50, was received to-
day from General Felix Agnus. of The
Baltimore American, and he will re-

I am the mother of eight children
and have had great deal of exper-
fence with medicines. Last summer
my little daughter had the dysentery
in its worst form. We thought she
would die. 1 tried everything 1 could
think of, but nothing seemed to do her
any good. 1 saw by an advertisement
in our paper that Cham berlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was
highly recommended and sent and got
q bottle at once. 1t proved to be one
of the very best medicines we ever had
in the house. l. saved my little daugh-
ter's life. L am anxious for every
mother to know what an excellent
medicine it is. Had l known it at first
it would have saved me q great deal of

to England as well as to Spain and

good to burn Jews or any body else.
The abhOrred Hebrew is here, and
here to stay: he no longer goes to the
stake, but to the best clubs, and the
varnish on his victoria is shining res
plendently under the tropic sun. The
Jew cuts coupons off the bonds of the
national debt, buys big copper mines.
owns great silver properties, and is Oft
en- masked under ingeniously varied
names. There are more Jews here
than a dozen years ago, but as yet
there is no synagogue. Say, this for
the Jew, that he is orderly, obeys the
law and attends strictly to business,
and, when rich, spends his money like
q prince, and not like q miserable
miser.
Looking the country over. should
say that the Jew was getting very much
on top of things, and is likely to remain
there.
