The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1903-10-03

While, the white people generally
in this 'land of the free and home OF
the brave" seem to have gone stark,
staring mad on their idea of draw
ing the color line, it is quite refresh
ing to note the action of the Presby-
terrain church on that subject. The
committee on territorial limits OF pres
byteries appointed by the last gen
eral assembly has decided that the
word Negro r will not be used as
a qualification of any of the church
laws or regulations. BY this action
the $4,000 Afro-American members OF
the denomination will not be set apart
as a separate organization. This is
the proper sort of Christian spirit
which should prevail among CHRIST:
IANS Of. all j. denominations, for OF
one blood God created all mankind
"Then Peter opened his mouth and
said, Of a truth I perceive that God
is no respecter Of persons: But in
every nation he,that feareth Him, and
worketh righteousness, is accepted
with Him" Acts, X-34, IS.

Mr.. NANCE OF ATLANTA.

Wade H. Nance, who claimed to be
a leading merchant of Atlanta, Ca,
went to the police headquarters at
Washington, D. c., recently with a
sensational story of having been
drugged and robbed of $50 in money,
a watch which was an heirloom, and
diamond ring worth $3.50. Of course
he said the robbery was committed by
a Negro. After having been tleeced,
he said he was placed on train and
elected in an unconscious conultloli
at Alexandria, a., across the river
from Washington, where he was taken
to a hospital.
It now turns out that Wade was a
plain liar.
Detectives were assigned to the
case, and soon learned that Nance
came with a woman named Mrs. San
derson, and there was reason to be-
lieve that if Nance had any money
or property, the woman had taken it
from him for safe-keeping while he
was drinking. The chief of police
therefore wired to Atlanta making in
uuiries about the woman. A reply
came saying there was absolutely moth
ing in Nance's story. When Mrs. San
derson left him he had nothing OF value
but his ticket to Atlanta and never
had a diamond ring.
Nance still had his ticket and when
he found the police were going to in
vestigate his story he quietly took his
departure.
The story has lesson. When Nance
told his lie the papers came out with
black head lines-one paper had it:

MYSTERIOUS ASSAULT.

Made lyon White Woman-Attempt
55>l5S 70 Burn Her House lAtso: I
About two weeks ago an attempt
was made to burn the house of Mrs:
Emma Russell, clairvoyant and for
tune teller, AZ Seventh street South,
Minneapolis. The fire was discovered
and extinguished before it gained
much Roadway. Last Saturday night,
shortly after II o'clock, tall heavily
built man with dark hair and NOUS
taChe entered her room and insisted
on remaining. She attempted to leave
the room, when he grabbed her, threw
her on a couch and ch0ked her. His
foot slipped and she escaped from his
hold and succeeded in rouslng her
landlord and his wife in another room.
The man caught her again and drag
ged her back into her room, swearing
he would kill her. Finally the three
succeeded in getting the man out OF
the house and he caught Mrs. Russell
and tried to drag her out OF the house.
He finally went away.
Sunday night another man came and
insisted upon seeing Mrs. Russell. He
was small, slight and smooth faced.
The landlord sent him away but he
returned and was again chased away.
The identity and the motives of the
visitors still remain a mystery. De-
tectives have been put upon the case.

RAYMOND" OF THE TRIBUNE.

There can be no doubt that Ray
mond," the Chicago Tribune CORE
spondent who has been writing letters
from the South on the race problem,
has told some truth. but he has not
told the whole truth.
In the first place he was not the
proper person to send on such mis-.
sion, for his references to "dark1es,
saddle colored .darkies" and the
| "tone" of his writings prove conclu-
sively that he entered upon his work
with a prejudice against one side OF
| the problem CD he is endeavorlng to
solve.
Raymond's pictures have been OF the
most degraded class of the race in the
black belt. He made no attempt to
give to the world the story of the in
dependent farmers, the thrifty mechan-
les, the well-to-do business and pro-
fessional men of the race. Raymond
was in Charleston but he failed to see
the many beautiful homes, nicely tur-
nished, presided over by educated and
refined mothers homes in which the
"problem" has already been solved.
In Atlanta, Raymond interviewed Prof.
Du Bots, but he was described as an
intellectual abnormality," when as a
matter of fact there are in the South
hundreds, yes thousands, of Afro
Americans who will measure well with
Prof. Du Bots in education and Gull
ture. Like the average Caucasian,
I"Raymond'' regards washington, Du-
Bots, Council and few others as peo-
pie apart from the masses, and so they
are, but there are thousands of Afro
American teachers, preachers, doctors,
lawyers and plain men of business who
are equal to the leaders in general IN
telligence, education and culture.
| Some of Raymond's statements are
ridiculous, for instance, he wrote:
"For every Booker Washington there
are 100000 debased Negroes Ac.
cording to that, as there are about
10 ,OOO, 900 Afro-Americans in the coun-
try, only 20 are not debased.
Raymond" ought to cut out the
word "darky" and look up a few more
of the intelligent, well-to-do Afro
Americans of the South:
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1903-10-03

Edward w. Carmack, the junior
senator from Tennessee threatens to
try his hand at solving the so-called
Negro problem" by offerings%a bill
in the senate. asking the repeal of the
fifteenth amendment to the federal
constitution. The st. Paul Globe
(Dem.) says: Zone of the greatest
civil wars the world has ever known
resulted in the passing Of the amend
ment. With a bill Senator Carmack
hopes to wipe it off the constitution.
s. And doubtless the fifteenth
amendment will remain on the con-
stitution since it was written there in
the blood of the North. Sen
ator Carmack and the Southern Dem
ocracy had better give it another try
before they ask Uncle Sam to go
back on his word. For this bad habit
of going back on his word is one that
Uncle Sam has. never acquired and
you cannot teach an old dog new
tricks. Lei, US hope that Mr.. Car
mack will do with his bill what little
30 Peeps sheep did with their tails
leave it behind him."
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1903-10-03

The Nashville Americans says:
There will be no repeal OF the FIJI
teenth Amendment, and II its repea
were accomplished a reduction OF the
south's representation would follow
But there are many Democrats who
hold that even that would not be toe
great a price for the South to pay tol
the elimination of the Negro as pc
R]itical factor Or in other words
many Southerners would be willing tc
give up some of their power in Con
gress if the Afro-American could. be
reduced to slavery, = for that's just
what the repeal of the Fifteenth
Amendment would mean.
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1903-10-03

many cases white men have black
ened their faces, assaulted women and
then poor black men have been
charged with the crime and have been
murdered by mobs.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean has shown
by the court records that white men
in Chicago, last year, committed
twice as many rapes as were charged
to the entire Afro-American race.
There are 1,033 convicts in Sing Sing
prison, New York. OF these 81 whites
and 2 Afro-Americans were sentenced
whites and but / per cent OF the
Afro-Americans we're guilty of assaults
On women. -. III -..,. + ...a ~. !.
Senator McEnery of Louisiana said
recently in the Independent that few
white men are guilty of rape" The
attention of the senator and others OF
his race who have misrepresented the
Afro-American is called to the first
page of this issue of THE APPEAL.
The matter presented ought to prove
instructive reading. The items are
taken from the daily press and where
no credit is given they are associated
press dispatches. The headlines are
about the same as they were printed
in the New Orleans Times-Democrat
New Orleans Picayune, st. Louis
Globe Democrat, Atlanta Journal and
other papers There was no attempt
to give the stories "scare heads" as
is almost invariably the case when
an Afro-American is charged with
crime.
Recently in Minneapolis black mar
was accused of abducting white
girl, and although physicians testified
that the girl had not been outraged
there was a great hue and cry abou
| the matter The black man is nov
! serving a twenty-five year sentence
for his crime. The next week white
man actually raped girl Of thirtee1
| years, yet the papers scarcely noticed
the case and there was no excltemen
whatever, and the incident is abou
forgotten.
| The worst story in the list of crime;
| committed by Caucasian brutes come
from North Carolina, where Wnlt'
man has been sentenced to death TO
raping his own nine-year-old daughter
| The evidence presented proves ina
white men are guilty of crimes agalns
women and children and during tn
past month they have been especially
active in the nefarious work.
During the slave holders rebellion
black slaves guarded the wives an
children of the men who were hgn'
ing to rivet their chains more firmly
vet there is no record that Whit
woman or child was ever assaulted.
The Afro-American is neither ange
nor devil; he is a plain human penn
lust like the Caucasian; he has nj
virtues and his vices just like tn
Caucasian he is no worse, no better
than his white brother, though a rec
ord of all the assaults in the countr
would show that white men comm
more offenses proportionately agalns
women than black men are guilty OF

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1903.
A DAMNABLE CONSPIRACY.

The pages Of history fail to show
more horrible scheme than the at
tempts made in recent years by num-
Der of Caucasians all over the country
to prove to the world that the Afro
Americans are a race of rapists.
S There is every reason to believe that
! it is a carefully concocted plan to
make Afro-Americans appear as lot
~of brutes by charging them with
crimes of which they are often not
guilty q IN
That members of the race commit
assaults on women cannot be denied,
but the percentage of crimes against
women is greater for the Caucasian
than for the Afro-American. It must
sbe remembered that many black men
who are charged with assault with
intent to commit rape are really guilty
of nothing more than simple assault
and in certain sections Of the country
~.insolent Z, Negroes have been ac-
cnsed Of rape and then l5nched. m
