hours than those of today; we have seen
.AnieiIcan justice and fair play go through
S-e and death and devastation and come out
purified by the faith that abides in the God
of Destiny, and we expect to see it do so
again. Our optimism is as expansive as
American love Of justice and fair play. And
when properly appealed to, when properly
aroused, we do not believe that the world
can furnish a subimer reply than it can and
will give. And we do not look to one Soc
ton for response but to all sections, and
especially to the South where we know that
we have friends who have been tried in the
furnace of experience and found true, and
who will be faithful in the future as they
have been in the past if we shall be true to
ourselves, true to the God who brought us
Of freedom.
But no race has ever risen out of the shad-
ows into the sunlight without fierce oppo-
sition. We have been no exception to the
rule. And all the way to the top Of the lad
der, where Daniel Webster declared there
was plenty Of room, however long it takes
and time is the most important factor in the
economy Of God in working out the destiny
OF races and nations-we shall encounter
fierce antagonism, but we shall win in. the
end, for We shall have God and Justice and
fair play on our side
In view Of the present condition of affairs
IN which we ind ourselves we beg to direct
attention to the following facts:
l. Since 1868 there has been steady and
persistent determination to eliminate us from
the politics Of the Southern states. We are
not to be eliminated Suffrage is a federal
guaranty, and not a privilege to be conferred
or withheld by the states. We are not op-

The meeting of the Presbyterian AS
sembly in Minneapolis this week has
brought a number of very Intelligent
Afro-Americans to that city, and they
have done much to prove that all the
Afro-Americans of the South are not
the ignorant, criminal brutes the daily
press would make folks, who don't
know, think them to be. In fact, in
point of intelligence they would COM
pare very favorably with the best
minds in the Assembly.

of Afro-American valor in the army
than any one else. Chaplain Steward
is native of Bridgeton, N. j., and
traces his descent on his mothers side
from John Fenwick, one of the lords
proprietors, who settled at Salem, to
which he gave it's name, in 1865. The
Chaplain was educated at a divinity
school in Philadelphia. Besides be-
scholar, he also speaks German and
French fluently, and was at one time
stationed over church in. Port-au-
Prince, where he preached in French.
"A Charleston: Love. Story" a work of
fiction from his pen, is now in press.
Two of his sons are Harvard men, one
being lieutenant of the volunteer
regiments; another is in the Univer-
sity of Michigan, from which he will
be graduated in medicine this spring.

er of mercies, may take our deplorable
case in his own hands, and that if ven
geance is to be melted out, let God
himself repay"
The proclamation invites all the
prominent clergy of all denominations
to cooperate, and consists of a lengthy
setting forth of the present "indescrib-
able barbarous treatment" of the Afro
American in this country. Reference
is made to their loyalty in foreign
wars, and the recent lynchings in the
South are denounced in the most siren
uous language. e

MRS. HOWE EMPHATIC.
Author of the Battle Hymn of the
Republic on Lynching.

Boston, May 20.-The anti-lynch
meeting called by the women of Bos-
ton and vicinity was held today, about
300 persons, mostly women, being
present Mrs. Butler R. Wilson, wife
of a we'll known Afro-American citi-
zen of Boston, presided. On the plat
form were, among others, Mrs. Julia
Ward Howe and Mrs. Alice Freeman
Palmer, Mrs. Edna D. Cheney, Mrs.
Ridley, an Afro-American, and Mrs.
Howe we're among the speakers. Mrs
Howe said:
II hold to it that the federal gov
eminent is bound to see to it that the
AfroAmerican vote in the South is
properly counted, and that military
protection be afforded the 'Afro-Amer-
leans in dangerous sections. If the
central government cannot do this,
Americans might as well take down
their flag and raise the black flag OF
piracy.

ADDRESS TO THE NATION
Adopted by the National AfrO-Amer-
lean Council Mt Washington, D.
c., Dec. 80, 1895. 49,

In the present condition of the race which
is abnormally disturbed in one section Of the
country. and comparatively composed in tho
other three, It Ia easy to reach the concl,l-
sion that we cannot arrive at the desired ends
wholly through any one method. There are
certain things which those Of US who live
in the South can accomplish, and certain
other things which those OF US who live in the
North can accomplish. We may take differ
ent methods to reach the same ends, but the
results will be for the common advantage
In the North the work Of agitation, Of pre-.
test and petition and OF political conduct is
essential to the cause. The Northern and
Western mind needs to be constantly agitated
upon our grievances and accurately informed
as to their nature and extent. In the South
the work Of education and internal develop
ment can best be determined and carried en-
by the wise men Of US in the Southern states
who have done so much since the War Of the
Rebellion to pave the way for our future
status as men and citizens in all the walks Of
life. We think that it is important that this
view Of the matter should not be Ice; sight Of
fer moment. 49,
We must be broad and liberal in our policy
and Interpretation or the intentions Of all
members of the race who have capacity and
probity, and who are working for the general
good. The vast extent Of our country and the

the mark) who committed those. crimes
are known to every man, woman and
child in Lake City; and, instead of be-
ing punished, they are glorifed. Why,
if there was a town of the size of Lake
City in this country, peopled and con-
trolled just as that, city: was, except
that the colors of the inhabitants were
changed, and the postmaster and his
family who would then be white, had
met the fate Baker and his family did,
that town would not have had place
on the. map in twenty-four hours aft
erward, but would have been merely a
pile of ashes and rubbish, and the per-
petrators of the crime, as we'll as quite
number of innocent Afro-Americans,
would have been food for the flames,
if there was any Of their bodies left
after the usual pruning process was in
dulged in. We think they are getting
off entirely too easy by simply having
their mail stopped. There would be
some way to get at the black men
KNOWN to have committed such
crimes and there should be some such
way to get at white ones other than
simply stopping their mail. The
whole action of the powers that be in
the Baker matter has been and con-
tinues to be monumental farce. OF
course we are pleased to see even this
little punishment melted out to Lake
City but we opine they will not be
subjected to that very long.
