SATURDAY, MAY 1. 1897. RiQHT-nrtNG is right-livii g. The best way to make friends is to be fri ntlly. The Mayor of Alexandria, Va. should be impeached. vSo lontf as we are ostracized as a race we mast insist upon recognition foi the same reason The southern white man will yet b our staunchest advocate Let us con? tinue to study how to handle him. Colored nu B have race-pride Plead the cause of your oppressed people. Do right and fear not. Dake days have come to us and we endure them by thinking of those fraught with sunshine. Wi ask no special favors of th* white people of this country Oui plea is to be given a chance. Can any one tell ua why Rev. W. W Browne wanted tc reach hia p rsim mon pole over in our Lack yard ? Money ia scarce. Some folks seemev: to have thought that the government would issue it out after Mr McKinley took his seat. Tub Mayor of Alexandria should bi exhibited as a curiosity. Perjury is t light offense with him. Cowardice ii an abiding quality. It is nearing the time when a man' friendship for us as race cannot bi guaged by either his politics or his re ligion. It is well to remember this. It is a pity that "secret"meetings an held with the windows open, door open, and the speaker talking so as V be b ard a block away. Parents, teach your children good manners, lt is the polish that wil distinguish a race and help it to wi its way in tbe battle of life. It will not do for us to be insultin to white peop'e because they are whit* They cannot help their color and w must act gentlemanly and lady lik under all circumstances The love for mankind as a whole i better exercised after you have looke after the interests of that portion of located between your front steps an your back gate.

Another snit would doubt make him step from bench bench. Let us be for the Negro first, lt and all the time to the end that may be educated religiously, indust ally, morally, financially, socially, a thus be titted to take his place arno the best people of the earth. Colored men. should see to it th their people are defended. With prc er oi^anizntion at Alexandria, the li of Joseph McCoy could have bpi saved, and the honor of the city Alexandria upheld Bon kuhn Negro-hatera are beir rapidly j>1h' ted < n the hill-aide.

Our peo e sr i law-abiding to such an extent time- tba they as inactive when ley should have be* n forward in up ikluiK lh?- law. Wiuhivh we ask that a colored ian be appointed to otftcv. it ia draw Tg the c dor lu e. Whenever the of- t b V J r c !

No man its the True Reformers hss Men more tireless ai.d faithful in de ending R<%v Ubownb in any position which he chose to assume, than Hot; John H. Smyth. That hf sb mid pub? licly castigate him n >w is in keeping with his past record Johnson, M >n rob, BiRkKt.i , Banes. Philips, Gra? ham, Mitchell, Oe-ist ar d a host of others hav- been similarly treated and those around him are bubmitting to a condition as galling as slavery, and well-nigii as umbearable. U hen wilt the end come ? The Greeks have been worsted in their encounters with the Turka. A few more such defeats a-* that experi? enced at Larissa, and the way will Wt open for the occupation of Athens and the dictation of peace upnu the step* of her forum. Greece disregarded thr advice of the Powers and invit-d war As the case now stands, the very na? tions she ignored can alone save hei from complete subjujjat'O'i and virtu? al annihilation. The dedication of the mausoleum to the distinguished hero, patriot and statesman Ultssbs 9. Oramt, caused all eyes to turn to Riverside Park. New York. As a soldier, he was one of the great est the world ha< ever s'en His re? cord is made, and a natit n hastens to do honor to the man who made it pos? sible that the government miuht live. None but the prejudiced will deny to him that praise to which he is just? ly entitled. His name is enshrined in the hearts of the p?ople and genera? tions yet unborn will rise up and call him blesse I. Beside the placid Hud sm, he will sleep on until tho end of time. Hu? manity mourned his death and thc w >rld pays homage al bis timb. MR CLEVELAND'S UTTERANCES. The speech of ex-President Cleve? land delivered at thi dinner of the Reform Club of New York, Saturday. April 24th, was a ringing cause to the divided hosts of Democracy, and in? tended as a severe rebuke to the Re? publican plan for the relief of the gov? ernment. Guaged by i's tone, one would con? clude, that in Mr Cleveland alone was combined the hope of his party for the future and that the possibility of his being its standard bearer in 1000 is not at all remote. Mr. Cleveland is bitterly opposed to an increase of the tariff duties How then are we to raise nutrient revenue lor the scy<nort of th** sbbvsbebV ment? He would have us tinker with the financial question, but that seem* to have adjusted itself, inasmuch as the gold reserve remains above th* limit set by the government. Mr. Cleveland should recognize the change for the better and give tht friends of s >und fin trie * and good gov? ernment a chance. Mr. McKinley and a Republican Congress will re deem the pledges made to the people THE LYNCHING AT ALEXANDRIA Almost within the shadow of tht capitol at Washington, within a few minutes ride of the oh3cial residence o the President of the United States anc the halls of Congress, wilh Virginii milit a as spectators, and the Unitec States troops a few steps away, a mur derous mob, composed of men wh< knew better on Friday, April 23, 1897 took from the station-house at Alex andria, Va., the crouching, tremblinj form of Jobbph McCoy and hangei him to a lamp-post. This act was in violation of the law of Virginia and the statutes of th United States. It waa murder pur and simple and as it was premeditated ? executed with precision, it was mur 8 der in the first degree. 0 Every citizen, white or black, youn, or old who took part in this disgrace ful proceedings is as guilty of as heir ous a crime as the one with which M , C)Y stood charged. It lessens his responsibility, eve if proven to be true in as much as i goes to show that the murdered yout was a product of the community i g which he lived, the majority of whic >. stood ready to commit any crime ir e eluding murder. e The damage to the city ot Alexandri is incalculable, in that it places the community before the world aa a cit of lawlessness, where officials disn gard their oaths of office and withoi warrant or excuse suspend the law '* What must be thought of a peopl ** who would elect such material to o fice ? It shows that the city goverr ment is rotten to the core. The crime with which McCoy stoc charged forms no part of the con te i tion. No law-abiding citizen wou hesitate in the performance of the di ty to see the laws executed. If tl prisoner were guilty, there were mi in Alexandria to see that he was le ally punished. It was thought that the colon youth had violated one of the statute it is known that certain persons ha b?en guity of the same crime. The Mayor of the city bid the guil go free The militia was not call upon and the officers of the commo wealth defied. The state which objected to Fedei interference and refused to call up the President for United Stat* s troc now finds within its confines a ci which is pursuing the same policy. Gov. O'Frrball deprecates the oi rage. He is sworn to "take care tl the laws are faithfully executed." T Mayor of Alexandria has disregard his sworn obligations The lawli elements have trampled upon t statutes of tbe commonwealth, I Excellency knows of these facts WI steps will he take in the premire What investigation of the circui stances will he inati ute? Will a i Wird be offered for the murderer I Will the guilty parties be arraign 1 et ive a court of law, where the st'gt lg p'ao 1 upon th- m by 'h*5 batter c)a ?ri of citizens can rest, and tbe guil st ones pointed ou:? >J The eyes of the world are upon oi jvernor. The prox mty < f theodt ge to Washington has at rae ted t:a mal attentioo, What will be done >aut it? Our Governor is courageo?s. e ia fearless in the performance of * J ty. The way ia plain What wilt ie answer be? Alexandria's Mistake [Richmond, Vs . Duily Times. J The people of Mexandria had gre t rov.x'ntion, but it waa a serious mii ake to bring reproach upon then eily >y resorting to mob violence. MoD lolence is always de noralizing, mil llexandr.a might have had such a hor ?r as Roanoke bad under similar cir rimstances a few years ago, had the nilitary made a firm stand against the nob The Negro wno had been ar ?ested and imprisoned for the outrsge )us crime, had made a full confess >"'. md it was a simple matter for him to lave been tried and condemned tn ?oin and executed according to law. We can see no go?.d end whatever that lias been accomplished by the lynching i>f tins Negro that would not hate b?en belter accomplished by letting the law take its course. The N"k>< w?b hung. Th? mob could have flon no more than tale his life. The lav* would have done iioles*,aiid hsd he been executed by law, the warning woub. have been more seriously impressed on the communty. Rev J. W. Pickett Outraged. (Nashville, Tenn , CiJizen ) Last Monday evening's banner an? nounced thal i>r J. W I'icKett, j of Pt. J >hn's A. M E < burch, had pant on a tour in the interest of the Cen? tennial, working up exhibitions ano excursions ; the railroads would d-rivc ber.efiis al.-o. But !>r. i'ickell was so outraged by railroad men before lh? train pu led out that he not only did not go. but severed his connection with the Centennial. Tho outrage was on ihis wise: Dr. Pickelt was di? rected to the ead of the jim crow, used exclusively as a smoker for t e whiles The conductor ordered him out. and on his reiusal to go, called two police? man, who dragged him out. He step? ped on the platform and was en j tying a cigar, when he was ordered tu get on aha other end next to the eugine. This he refused to do ; the train was in mo? tion, the cord whs pulled as the train slowed up, and the policemen were aa the scene awain. Dr Pickett then left tbe train and refused to go. Colored people have ro place Ce smoke on the trains. This is the first fruit of the Centennial as to Ham ; and still lhere is mure to follow on ihete roads. f ROM HARTFORD Personals and Notes ia General. Habtfobd Conn., April 26, '97. Miss M.
