REs0IIITIONs

The Afro-Anerfcan council in con-
ventiOn assembled, recognizing the grave
crisis which this country has reached
and desiring, with all good citizens. the
highest welfare of this our common
fatherland, recommends and Endorses the
following resolutions:
Resolved, That 1t is, the duty Of the
United States government to see that the
life and property of its citizens are not
taken from them without due process of
law, and to this end we shall solemnly
demand such national and constitutional
legislation as shall at least secure as
great protection from mob violence to
citizens Of foreign countries resident
here. We affirm that the widespread
crime of lynching and intimidating per-
sons accused of lawbreaking, without af-
fording them judge, jury or legal trial, is
AN offense against civilization which de-
mands punishnent, and we believe that
lit lies In the power Of congress to en-
prevent justice in America from becom-
ling a byword and mockery. =
Resolved, That we deeply deplore the
prevalence Of crime in this land. AL
though we do not believe crime among us
is more usual than n1ght justly be eX-
pected under the circumstances, yet we
recognize the necessity Of making it far
less frequent than it is, and we heartily
condemn the thief, the, despoiler, Of
homes and the degrader Of womanhood,
be he white or black, high or low.
( Resolved, That the attitude Of trades
unions and nearly all forms of organized
labor toward Afro-American working
men is both shortsighted and cruel The
divine right to work ought not to be
taken from a people who have already.
had so many rights stripped from them.
We recommend that committee be ap-
pointed to wait upon the labor leaders
and the National Industrial commission
and seek by every effort to bring about
between white and Afro-American labor
ers that spirit OF fraternity and coop
Grafton which is to the best interests Of
both. ass so:
Resolved, That we are heartily grieved

Catarrh.

Catarrh is one of the most obstinate
diseases, and hence the most difficult
to get rid of.
There is but one way to cure it.
The disease is in the blood, and all the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures
In the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe-
cific cures Catarrh permanently, for it is
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood.
Mr.. B. p. McAllster, of Harrodsburg,
KY, had Catarrh for years. He writes:

s. 8. 8, and after lew bottles were USED, no
ticed perceptible improvement. Continuing
the remedy, the disease was forced out Of my
system, and complete cure was the result.
Iadvise all who have this dreadful disease to
abandon their local treatment which has never
done them any good and take S $. s., a rem
sdy that can reach the disease and cure it,"
To continue the wrong treatment for
CataTrh is to continue to suffer. Swift's
Specific is u real blood remedy, and
cures obstinate, deep-seated diseases,
which other remedies have no effect
whatever upon. 1t promptly reaches
Catarrh, and never fails to cure even the
most aggravated cases.
