to Senator Foraker Is beyond our com.
prehension. Acting within a newspa.
per's right as purveyor we attempted
to set forth the views of certain Ohio
men as they have come to us through
other papers and from private sources
There was no expression of our Opin-
ON Of Senator Foraker's right to the
undivided support of Ohio's Negro
voters and the assumption that we
entertain the sentiments, which are
so severely criticised, has not a leg to
stand on. 1t appears that this Is an
instance in which zeal has outrun
Judgment or a straw man has been set
ing him down
AS matter OF fact, we have no fight
against Senator Foraker. Be his mo-
ttves what they may, The Advocate adj
mires him for the manly stand he has
always taken upon the questions of an
equal opportunity for every man. We
admire the courage, possessed by few
Of our friends, which he exhibited in
shouting in Gath what many dare not
even whisper in the streets Of Aska-
lon. His has frequently been q lone
voice in the wilderness pleading for
the restoration of his rights to the
weaker man, nor has he, like his dis
tinguished opponent, sought popular
favor by giving to the Individual what
he denies to the mass.
That is what we think OF the man.
Saying editorially that there are Ne
gro men who think tina, Senator For.
aker is playing politics in his present
fight for the discharged Negro SOL
diers' does not make us sponsors for
their sentiments and, seen from our
view point, Rev. Jordan's communion

unjust.

FIORIDA'S LEGISLATURE


Florida is to be congratulated upon |
having as legislators men who have
the courage to disfranchise Negroes |
because they are Negroes; men who |
did not attempt to hide behind the
sabteTfuge adopted by other states
when they say that only those shall ex-
ercise the right of franchise whose an
cestors voted before 1867, or who can
read and explain to the satisfaction of
partisan commission any section of
the constitution, or are the possessors
Of so many dollars worth of this
worlds goods.
8, The Florida legislature, not to b!
'1outdone by their governor, who ask
ed them In his message to memofa1fzaA
Congress to deport or segregate tha
Negro SO that the white race might
be Kept Sweet and clean," has adops
ed a resolution declaring the Four
teenth and Fifteenth amendments to
the National Constitution null and
void and DISTINGUISHING the Negro in
Florida. 1t is well. -
We May now be able to back the
'Sapren1e' Court Of the United States
into corner and get decision which
wifi really decide something. There
Is no question but that the Negroes of
,R2QEidas will eventually come before
The highest tribunal In the land and We
Bhall know whether the declaration
that no man shall be deprived of the
right to vote because Of race, color
or previous condition OF servitude is
a high-sounding platitude or the law
OF the land.
Heretofore DISTINGUISHING acts have
been 80 worded that the courts have
been able to dodge the issue by taking
refuge behind technicalities. In every
case in which the black mans right to
the ballot was the issue. the case was
Improperly presented" and the court
mas s1deStepped with a nimbleness
which even Mercury might envy. So

met death at the hands OF a mob

NfIFFFLIN w. GIBBS.

Last week Judge Mifnin w. Gibbs OF

ing the North Star with Frederick
douglass, speaking from the platform
with him, and appearing in different
sections Of the country ON his own
account. How we'll he wrought In free
dOms cause Is part Of the records OF
the Anti-Slayery Movement After the
war he assumed the leadership Of the
Negroes OF Arkansas. For years he
served on the bench In his county, be-
ing elected by popular vote; and be-
coming famous for his learning and
wisdom; he continued in this capacity
long after white supremacy had ap-
pealed to the torch and gun. After he
left the bench he became the leader IN
Federal affairs and and held once Under
every Republican administration, bla2-
ing the way for the generation of
strong young men with which his state
Is 30 conspicuOusly blessed IN this day
His last political Office he held under
Mckinley. He accepted it because it
was offered him, and in order to have
the leisure necessary for some literary
work he had for years contemplated
From this post, United States Consul
to Madagascar, he resigned, retiring
| to his home in Little Rock to devote
himself to his large private affairs, and
to the pastimes Of the young. For the
generation Of men now prominent on
the scene he Is the undisputed seer
and prophet guide and counsellor, and
no one knows him but to love him.
Judge Gibbs is q rare character in
every direction. At eighty-four he is
as vigorous as he was at fifty, having
! preserved himself after the fashion of
the elders celebrated by Aurelius.
Brilliant as writer, his autobiography

there he directs with consummate mas
