seating to the general public, and, il
Mrs. Terrill is the scholarly lady tina;
she is credited with being, it should
be doubly nauseating to her. Her
picture is no longer newspaper en-
terprise," but a newspaper nuisance,
and it will be so regarded by the
public unless she can curb the man
agement Of the paper,
CHANDLER WAS HONORED.
No man, perhaps, since the days OF
Charles Sumner has been more high
ly appreciated by the colored folk
of this country than Senator Chand-
Ter, who has just retired from the
United States senate, after a contin-
uous service Of some forty years.
During all that time Mr.. Chandler
has been the constant as well as ar
dent champion Of the Negro race in
this country. Whenever a measure
was brought forward in which the
Negro was vitally interested he al
ways found a champion and a friend
in Seator Chandler. 1t was but a
few days ago that he introduced a
measure that allowed back pay for
those senators elected during the re-
construction days, who were sent
there by the vote of the colored folk
OF the South, and among those who
received such back pay was the estate
OF the late ex-senator, Hiram K.
heyels, who was the only colored
man at the time a member of the
senate. On his retiring from active
duty few days ago a number OF the
leading colored men about Washing
Ton CITY presented him with a most
handsome cane as a token OF respect
and regard for his services so faith
Iully rendered to the race to which
they belonged. A neat and unique
speech was made by the spokesman,
Edltor Reuben S. Smith, IN present
ing the same, which was replied to
by Senator Chandler in words be-
hitting the occasion and the cause for
which they were spoken.
MRS. NATIONS PAPER.
Mrs. Carrie Nation has certainly
caused the eyes OF the world to be
hxed upon her within the past few
owing to her saloon smash
ing crusade. NO woman or man has
created so much public opposition TO
saloons, dives and gambnng joints
as has Mrs. Nation, and all because
she dared to oppose those places
which are so often catered to by the
leading business men of the country,
not that they loved saloonism, but
lest public sentiment did not ap-
prove of their opposition to them;
but Mrs. Nation has caused
the eyes Of the world to be turned
upon her from another cause, as she
has assumed the editorial manage
ment of the ''Smashers' Mail, 4" which
is a weekly paper published in Kan
sas and is managed by Nick Charles,
who is not only a colored man, but is
one of hte darkest of this race and
himself in the past saloon keeper
of that state. Mr.. Charles went to
Mrs. Nations relief when she was
being hard pressed by the newspa-
pers of Topeka, and she did not hesi-
tate after she had won fame to recip-
rocate and give Mr.. Charles the
financial benefit of her free adyer-
tisement. If Mrs. Nation is crazy,
as has she been charged, she does
some very sensible things.
THEY LYNCH WOMEN.
For high-handed outrages, public
chame and Christian disgraces the
report coming from Tennessee to the
effect that a colored woman was
lynched near Nashville last Saturday
for no other reason than because she
was suspected of having looted a
pocketbOok containing a few dollars,
which was lost by some one and sup
posed to be found by her, caps the
climax. For this Offense she was
taken by an angry mob composed OF
intelligent, cultured and Christian
white men, to a creek, where she was
shot to death and then her body
thrown into the water. Of all the
lynching affairs in this country this
is without a parallel and absolutely
beggars description. If civilized,
Christian men and women can per-
form SIch acts of harharity- such
