The platform adopted by the Ohio

The platform adopted by the Ohio
state convention adopted the follow
ing resolutions, which show where
Senators Hanna and Foraker stand:
''The right of franchise is vouch-
safed to every American citizen by
the federal Constitution. We de-
nounce as no Less criminal when COM
mitted by theft than when accom-
plished with the shotgun and by bal
lot box stufing, and as antagonistic to
the spirit of our institutions, all at
tempts to deprive of their inalienable
rights millions of our fellow citizens
in certain states in the Union. We
therefore call upon our senators and
representatives in Congress for such
legislation as shall secure the strict
enforcement of constitutional meas
ures guaranteeing to every citizen the
right of franchise, without distinction
as to race, color or previous condition
of servitude, and we demand that rep
resentation in Congress and in the
electoral college shall be based on the
actual voting population, as provided
in the Constitution, proportionate re-
duction being made for any state in
which the right of suffrage is denied,
except for crime.
by due process of law, and we de-
nounce the crime of lynching as foul
blot upon civilization"

1.-THE scene Of one of the most no
torious rape cases of recent years
which occurred last Sunday night.
One white man enticed two white
women to go with him through lone
ly strip of woods. When a certain
place was reached, the man whistled,
and two men sprang out of thicket
and proceeded to gag and bind the
women, then four other white men APP
peared, and the whole seven assault
the girls. There has been no lynch
ing yet, not one of these white gen.
tlemen has been burned at the stake.
Why is it not necessary to protect the
honor of white women in the North in
the same summary manner as it is
done in the South? Justice is repre-
scented to be blind. don't you know,
she is not supposed to know the color
of criminals. ~
We do not wish these white gentle
men to be lynched, and we do not
wish to hear of any more lynchings of
"black brutes" for similar offenses, or
we will be forced to the conclusion
that, in the case of the black man, the
criminal is worse than the crime, and
the talk about protecting the honor,
virtue, chastity, etc., of their women
is all bOSh.

SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1901.

There have been a large number of
BLACK men lynched in the South just
because they were accused of attempt
ing to commit rape on white females.
The English language is not sufficient
TO furnish terms strong enough to de-
scribe the Nervousness of these al
legged assaults. You know it's an indie.
Scribable violation of the moral laws
OF God and man for a black man to
even attempt carnal connection with
"a white woman. whether with or with
out her consent In all these cases
there. seems to have been no particu-
lar generalization. The black man
gets an opportunity to do that which
he has known his white brother to do
many and many time and no trouble,
came from it, and he follows his bad
example, but invariably pays the pen
alty-his life.
The newspapers chronicle these al
heged assaults using all the language
they can master to express their hor-
lror and disgust at the Grim nal)
We have yet to hear Of an assault
being made by black men in the de-.
alternately planned manner as that in
which the seven white men assaulted
che two white women in Paterson. N

We often hear Of men leading double
lives, but it takes Chicago to produce
the strangest. John P. Klein, alias
John P. Kent, a printer, worked all
day at one Office, earning $25 per week,
which he turned over to wife No. 1;
at night, he worked at another office,
earning $40 per week, which he turned
over to wife No. 2, who found it hard
to get along on that amount and
started an investigation which resulted
in the discovery of the double life, in
which the man was almost working
himself death. He was arrested on a
charge of bigamy, tried and sentenced
to the penitentiary and fined 81. Two

A number of Afro-American teach

mission to- open a vacation school in
the northeast section of the city. Per-
mission has already been granted for

ton was taken ON the matter owing to
the press Of business. A petition from
Afro-AmerIcans residing on Grant

The closing exercises of the lyceum
of the Second Baptist Chruch, Third
street, between H and I, northwest,
were held i'm the Lyceum Hall, Sum
day afternoon. A good sized gather
ing of the members was present. r.
W. Thompson, president of the ly-
ceum, opened the meeting with brief
address in which he set forth the good
work done during the year, and hoped
to have even larger gatherings during
dress of the afternoon was delivered
by j. T. c. Newsom, of Texas, who
spoke on Poverty and It's Resulting
Evils" The speaker described the
condition of the Afro-American in
the North and South as he is to-day,
and attributed his social status as
| much to poverty as to any other cause.
He urged all Afro-Americans to stand
up for their rights, and be men al
| ways. In this way, he stated, they
could command the respect of their
white brethren, and become a power
in the land. The question was then
debated by those present, Miss Estelle
Hedgman opening the discussion.
! Blanche I. Coleman recited "The Bat
tie OF Manassas" and vocal solos
were rendered by Mrs. w. C. Payne
and William Carter. The reports for
J the year were read and adopted, ami
