who had large force OF troops, sue

good order was soon restored.
The next noteworthy service OF Gen.

the same year he was transferred to the
Department Of the East, and In septem-
Der, 1895, succeeded Gen. Schoheid as
senior officer of the army. Finally In

ADDRESS TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Believing confidently as we do that a
vast majority of the people of this
country favor that spirit of freedom
and exact justice to all which not only
gave birth to the nation, but has led it
more than once to espouse the cause of
the oppressed, and insist that every
man shall be permitted to adjust the
standard of his own worth, and thus
settle for himself the place he will oc-
cupy in life, we, the representatives of
10, ,0O0,00 American citizens of Afri
can descent, do thus the more readily
present our case before the great bar
of public opinion, as hereinbefore set
forth:
First-That we would call attention
TO the readiness with which we have at
all times responded to our country's
call, and fought patriotically and
bravely to sustain the nations honor
and the country's flag.
Second-Our presence in this coun-
The colored American., 1903-07-11

appears that our interests were guided
by divine hand, and that the outcome
is the elimination of the divine pur-
pose. This being true, our future is
secure, and this country will In the
years to come, as in the years that are
past, profit by our presence.
We recognize with pleasure the
friendly relation that has all along ex-
listed between the best people of the
white race and our own, and we sin
cerely desire that nothing may be
permitted to intervene to mar this re-
lation. Still we are confident that no
one who notes carefully the signs of
the times can fail to discover that
there are influences at work in nearly
every part of the land to accomplish
this very end. Who can fail to see
that just at this time, and more so
than for a number of years past, the
Negro is being held up to public gaze
as the most Objectionable and undesir
able citizen that treads American soil
The ignorant, vicious criminal classes
are pointed to as the types and pro
ducts of the race, rather than those
who are the output of the Negro'S
| best endeavorS for race development
and uplift. We declare this standard
| of measurement to be un fair to any
people, and believe that fair-mindeC
citizens of the entire country viii
| agree with us in this view. These dt
not indicate our capacity, either fol
present or future citizenship. L

can be a man; because there are Ne
groes who commit crimes, therefore,
the Negro is a criminal race.
FEWER MOB VICTIMS.
AS to mob violence it is gratifying
to note that for the past year or two
the number of victims show a decided
decrease, and while all these were not
members of our race the vast majority
were But notwithstanding this fact,
we should not feel called upon to dis
cuss the matter at all at this time were
it not that though the number of vic
Tins is decreasing the variety OF pro-
yocations which lead up to this act of
violence is growing, more and more
numerous. 1t is not an unusual thing
to read these days of Negroes being
lynched for impudence, refusing to
obey, striking white man, etc. Now.
we submit that lynching for any cause
is destructive of law, is demoraliZing-
But to subject persons accused of or
even guilty of such trivial offenseS as
we have indicated to unlawful punish
ment and death is 10 make the Negro
the marked man of the nation; for
him to suffer violence for such causes
will eventually involve many of our
best people. Even as it is in some sec
tions Of the country it means death for
Negro to attempt to protect the fe-
males of his family We ask. in all
sincerity, is this American? Is 1t
right? Such conditions indicate clear
| ly a tendency to anarchy, and anarchy
for the Negro will terminate for an
archy for all men. Law sustains our
splendid civilization. and the absence
of it means it's destruction. Lawless-
ness begets its kind and its increase
can bring no good to any one.
| But again, the number of those of
| our rooo who ara now accused OF the
tnameless crime against women is so
small as compared with the whole
number Iynched that il is scarcely nee
