REVIVING SLAVERY.

Though things look very dark for
the Afro-American at times, we have
always contended that there are many
whites who are at heart our friends
and are courageous enough to speak
out in the meeting! There is always
a certain amount of sympathy engen-
dered for the under dog in the fight
and the outrages which are heaped
upon us will bring friends to us. The
recent exposition of the stockade slav-
cry of South Carolina has brought out
the following expression from the st.
Paul Pioneer Press. It speaks for it.
self: ..s-. .:5-,s,
Having discovered that the Negro
can be disfranchised with impunity,
despite the provisions of the four
teenth and fifteenth amendments to
the Constitution, which congress has
refused to enforce, the noble Southron
is now proceeding, in various parts of
the Cotton states, to nullify the thir-
teenth amendment as we'll. This
amendment it was which Americans
were in the habit of congratulating
themselves upon as having finished
the work begun by Lincolns emanci-
patton proclamation. It provides that

was held Wednesday night. Cyrus
Field Adams paid $50 and became the
first life member of the National Afro
American Council .
+ AS a token of appreciation of his
services to the race, Senator Chandler,
of New Hampshire, was Saturday pre-
sented with handsome cane by rep
resentatives of the leading sAfro-Am-
erican newspapers of the country. The
presentation took place in the room
of the Senate committee on privileges
and elections, and in addition to Sen
ator Chandler and the editors and
friends of their own race, Senators
McComas and Pritchard were present.
The speech Of presentation was
made ON behalf of the press by Mr..
Reuben S. Smith, a member of the
Washington bar. He said the New
Hampshire senator had freely given
his services to the race for the past
,fty years, and he predicted that ms
efirement would be only temporary
Mr.. Chandler was visibly affected
hen he rose to reply. He said he
I'd been a friend of the Afro-Ameri-
81 ever since 1856, and that it had
""''' easv for him to do so, because it
was natural. He discussed the lynch
ng problem at some length and said
re regretted to see the lynching of
Afro-American men was extending to
the Northern States, and that it is not
confined to lynching for offenses
against women. He advised the Afro
American people to organize a COM
m1ittee to investigate and make public
The facts connected with all lynchings
brought to their attention, believing
that the publication of an authentic
-ecord would do much to cause ces-
sation of the practice. He believed
that in time increased enlightenment
md the growth of genuine Christian
tv would relieve the race from this
- inst in6iction. He also advised the
to stand out in a
peaceable manner for their rights un-
der the fifteenth amendment. and not
to allow themselves to be disfran-

chised without continued protest.
The right of the Afro American to
vote should be as sacred to him as his
life. The senator's sentiments were
loudly applauded.
Senators McComas and Pritchard
were among others who spoke. Mr..
McComas said that Senator Chandler
is the best friend of the Afro-Ameri-
can under the roof of the capitol
Mr.. Magnus L. Robinson was chair
man of the committee.
Perhaps the largest movement ever
inaugurated among the Afro-Ameri-
cans has just taken shape here in
Washington at Asbury M. E. Church,
where twenty designated official rep
resentatives of religious denomina-
lions and agencies engaged in relig-
ious work among Afro-Americans
gathered to consider the spiritual,
moral, intellectual and social progress
of the race, and to make arrangements
for monster gathering of the en-
lightened Afro-American men and
women in Washington in the summer
of 1902. This meeting will be known
as the Afro-American Young PEOPLES
Christian Congress.
Among those present at the meeting
were the following we'll known
churchmen from all over the country:
