It is enough to make one weep to hear the prisoners in the penitentiary tell of the inhuman treatment inflicted upon them by guards and others prior to the ' charge of administrations in that institu tion. They say now that it is a paradise both in food and treatment in comparison to what it was some months back. Now the prisoners are all happy and contented and perform their work much more readily than previously. The new man agement is doing all in its power to make these unfortunates comfortable. Super intendent Smith is the right man in the right place. , We do not want to be misunderstood. And for fear that we may be) we repeat now what we have said before that under no circumstances will we endorse, much less vote f or.any man for any position, who proved a traitor to the Republican party and its candidates whether National, State or County in 189G, and who refused to support thee andidates, of said party. The test of party lojalty with us is the support of party candidates and obedi ence to the mandates of party conven tions. No man who was disloyal to the Republican party in 1896 should expect or ask our aid, for he will certainly not receive it. "The horse that pulls the plow, shall eat the fodder," if we can give it to him. Do you hear that? Governor Russell has not failed to use the pardoning power since he has been inaugurated, and the Democrats are ter ribly angry about it. They had made up their minds to railroad Harris of Oxford into the penitentiary for no other offense than the protection of his brother from the ready pistol in the hands of a Demo cratic politician on the last election day, but Gov. Russell came to his rescue with a pardon and the Democratic press has not failed to belch forth its fire and brim stone ever since. But then Governor Rus sell can stand it, because he is in the right and the people are on his side. Why, Governor, two-thirds of the negroes in the penitentiary were put in there un justly by partisan courts -of the Demo cratic party with a view of disfranchis ing them. We say to you, Turn the in nocent prisoners out, regardless- of the howTof the malicious Democratic news--papers. - ' Senator Pritchard is working with might and main for the best interests of the people of North Carolina in the Sen ate of the United States. We eat in the reserved gallery of the Senate Thursday of last week by permission of the Senator, and, listened to the discussion on the Tariff bill, and while he did not speak on any of the amendments offered during our stay; jet when the roll was call, d he responded every time for the best inter sts of our people. The Democrats in the Senate are a3 usual offering ihrir Cheap John amendments for campaign pur poses, but the roll-call always knocks them out. Senator Pritchard is doing the best he can to help the " boys" out, and is hearing patiently the claims of the dif ferent applicants for the various offices, and giving his support to those whose appointment he believes will be for the best interest of the party as well as for the good of the service. Senator Pritch ard is not going to draw any color line, but will treat the colored voters fairly in the distribution of the plums. PRESIDENT M-KINLEY. For the first time in four years we met President McKinley on Friday of last week, and we found him the same'aff able and amiable gentleman that he was when in Congress, and as chairman of the 1892 National Convention. There is nothing haughty or arrogant about him, and he grasps one by the hand and talks to him in such a familiar manner as to make one feel perfectly at home in his. presence. It has been our pleasure to meet several gentlemen while they were occupying the presidential chair, but we must say, in justice to Major McKinley, that we have never met one who was more easily approacnea man ne. we predict now that the kind treatment accorded every one by President McKinley will make him one of the most popular men who has ever occupied the White House. He does not appear to become annoyed or offended because the people, or even office seekers, call upon him and take a part of his time. When we called upon him last Friday, about 3 o'clock in the. afternoon, in company with Recorder Cheatham, there were at least two hun dred people in the large East Room wait ing to shake hands with him at the regu lar public reception; an Alabama delega tion of politicians, numbering about fifty in the outer ante-room; about twenty in Secretary Porter's office, and five in the President's room, all waiting to talk to him on what they thought was very im portant busness. Yet with all of these .crowds, and each with a tale of woe of his own to relate, the President was as serene and patient as if there was no one there to bother him. It must be remem bered that on that day he had received people in the morning and also held a meeting with his cabinet, besides per forming many other necessary and im portant duties. Such a man as this wears well with the people generally, and will gain and hold their admiration and con fidence. We predict now that McKinley will be his own successor, not only be cause of his popularity with all classes of people, but because his administration, from a business and financial standpoint, will be one of the most successful that we have had in years. The business men, the financiers, the farmers, and tr e laboring men all have confidence in his ability to properly administer the affairs of the government, and after the passage of the tariff bill and the ingathering of the abundant crops of this year, business will revive along all lines, and the Mc Kinley wave of prosperity will be a realized fact. President McKinley is ably supported by Secretary Porter, who partakes largely of the good qualities of his chief, and is also a patient and tireless worker, and never loses his temper even when sorely pressed by office seekers. Every one who visits the Executive Mansion leaves with increased admiration for the President. He does appear as one who wants you to know that he is President, nor does he want you to feel that you are any less of an American citizen than he is, simply because the people, have honored him with the Presidency. The President told us that he was "go. ing to reverse things, by going down into the trenches and taking some of the boys out," or in other words, "recognize the workers in he States." In the early spring of 1896 The Gazette predicted the nomination and triumphant election of Major McKinley, and now almost four years in advance we inform the politicians of our party that they can not defeat him for re-nomination, and we also tell Democracy that it cannot prevent his equally as triumphant re election. The colored people will be fully recognized by President McKinley in the distribution of the patronage. GOVERNOR RUSSELL'S VIEWS OS LYNCHING. The lynchings of the past week have been a subject of much comment here. And it is a matter of pride that there has not been a lynching in North Carolina in the past two years, and very few in its whole history. Asked his views on the subject of lynchings and the way to prevent them, Gov. Russell said: "The way to end lynch law is to re move the excuse for it. It is no justifica tion to say (what is not denied) that in many cases the victims deserve what they get. Barbarian brutt s who commit nameless crimes must be killed quick. But let it be done under the forms of law. Let there be none of the law's de lay. Give the Executive the power to call a court instanter. Order a judge by telegraph to the scene of the crime. Try the criminal. If proper for an appeal, convene the appellate court on shortest possible notice, send down the judgment and instantly perform its mandates. Scarcely a case of mob murder of a guilty culprit has occurred wherein he would not have been convicted by judge and jury. In most cases the lynchings have been attributable to a spirit of law lessness. r - . "Mobs who attack jails," he added, "should beshotdownf ""None of them are innocent. .Lawless mobs must be made to know that this is a land of law." News and Observer. A GOOD TEAM. - Senator Pritchard and Representative White, of North Carolina, deserve great credit for the fight they made in securing the appointment of ex-Congressman Cheatham to the office of Recorder of Deeds. Senator Pritchard has stood manfully by the colored Republicans from his State and every day his committee rooms are crowded with his colored and while con stituents and he has not been the man to turn any of them away if he can help them. Congressman White is making himself very popular among the people in this country. He is a man who is not affected with a swelled head. If both Senator Pritchard and Congressman White con tinue in their good work, they cannot help gaining the confidence of the people of this country and their State especially. We admire both men for their fighting qualities. They have sand and are grate ful to their constituents. Washington Bee. A RACE QUESTION. We thought that with the retnrn of the Republicans power the question of race or color would play no part with the Administration, but it seems that the great question in administrative circles, now-a-days, is what shall we do with the colored Republicans at the South ? Why that question should be debated at all, is what we, as Republicans, are at a loss to understand. The colored voters should be given full and complete recognition in every part of the United States, and in the foreign service of the government, and the selection of colored men for places should not be left to the choice of a few Southern white men who are Re publicans in promises only of future co operation with the party, but who have never seen service for the cause of the party. . We understand that there is a determined effort to give all the recogni tion accorded to colored men of the South, places about Washington, and to make but a very few and insignificant appointments- of Negroes at the South. That, of course, is the Southern white man's position regarding the situation, and he is trying to impress his ideas upon the President of the United States, but we think that President McKinley is too wise a politician, and too much of a statesman to be taken in in that way. The whole thing is a bunco game which the Southern whites are trying to play upon the President. We say to the Ad ministration, and we think we have a right to be heard in the case, " Beware of the Greeks bearing gifts." We are not making any race war, but we are seek ing to protect the race against the fight that is being made upon our men, and we call upon President McKinley to help us. We stood by Major Minley when he needed our help, and now that he has come into power we turn to him, "Like the Mohomedans turn to the Sun." We have confidence in the President and we do not think that we shall call in vain. Colored American.. HON. GEORGE H. WHITE, LL. D., THE ONLI COLORED REPRESENTATIVE IN THE FIFTY-FIFTH CONGRESS. . It is the boast of our Republic that her humblest citiz- ns can rise from a state of comparative obscurity to the highest po sition the government can bestow, and thus be made "chiefs "aoiOLg equals" in a foreign land. But when one of its cit izens rises so rapidly, in any particular field whether in the arts or sciences, pro fessional or political curiosity is natur ally excited to know all there ia about him. This desire is commendable, and ought to be gratified, and, so far as the information within our reach will allow, it shall be gratified. The subject of our present sketch was born from hon Table ancestry in Blanden County, in North Carolina, on the 18th day of Drcemoer, 1852. He is about one-third Irish, some Indian, and the balance Negro. His early education was much neglected on account of his having to work at manual labor on farms and ia the fort sts, gather ing naval stores, and he could only attend the neighborhood school occasionally. He was placed under the tuition of a white man by the name of Mr. W. B. Duncan, who taught a "subscription school;" then under Mrs. Fanny Jacksoo, of Wilmington, who opened the first public school near his home; then under Prof. D. P. Allen, who succeeded Mrs. Jackson. He then went to Lumberton, N. C, and entered the ''"YVhitten" Nor mal School. Mr. White entered Howard University with $1,000, the result of his hard earnings, which he had laid up for this purpose. His father, who had moved to Washington, D. C , a year before he went to Howard, promised him that; ha could have all that could be made on the farm and at cask-making, which trade he bad learned, and part of the thousand dollars mentioned was the result. This was the only assistance from any source which he received while taking his colle giate course, though his father was in the government service at Washington, and stood ready p.nd willing to help him. His proud heart scorned the idea ol being " boosted " thrc ugh school, and often re turned to the State, in the summer, and taught in the public schools, earning money with which to prosecute his stud ies. Very often he taught so late in the rail and winter that he bad to make ar rangements with his professors as to the branches taught in his classes, which enabled him to keep his studies up by weekly directions from his professors. He taught each summer, except in 1876, during which year he was employed as an assistant in charge of the United States I . V 7: V" ' J! i 1 - CONUltESoMAN G. U. ttLUIE, OF NOrtTU CAROLINA. Coast Survey of the Government Build ing at the Centennial in Philadelphia. He resigned this position and returned to his Alma Mater, and graduated with honors from the Electic Department., eh. 83 of 1877. While in college he was matriculated for medicine, but finding it not congenial to his tastes, he abandoned it, and took the law lectures delivered there, and euh eequently completed the course. In the summer of 1877, he went to Newbern and was appointed principal of the public school of that city, in which capacity he served a number of years During the same period he was superinendent of the Presbyterian parochial school, also of that city. In the year 1881 his thoughts began to turn in the direction of gentral politics, and the further prospects of ac complishing more for the higher educa tion of his race and he, accordingly, was elected by the Republicans to the House of Representatives at Raleigh, as a mem ber from Craven County, and while there introduced the bill (of which he is the author) creating four of the present State Normal Schools, and was three years principal of the one located in Newbern. He was an excellent teacher, loved by both parents and pupils, and honored by the community. , Young men and women, here and there all over, the State, owe their educational success to their old de voted teacher, Prof. George H White. He resigned the position as teacher to practice his chosen profession law. He was licensed to practice- by the Supreme Court of North Carolina in 1879, after a rigid examination of two days in a class of thirty-two, he being the only colored man in the class. In 1885 he was elected to represent the Eighth Senatorial District of North Caro lina, Craven County then comprising the District. While in the Senate he intro duced a bill providing for the establish meotof a Reformatory for colored youths, besides numerous other bills introduced and passed, of both local and State inter est. - He was elected Solicitor in 1886 and 1890, and served two consecutive terms of four years each. He could have been nomi nated by acclamation the third term, but he absolutely refused the proffered honor for the third time. In this position he sustained the praise of his friends, and won the admiration of his enemies by " ascending the temple of honor through the temple of virtue." He would very frequently represent the State on the criminal side of the docket alone, against many of the ablest criminal lawyers of the State, and yet he would prove him self their equal. The different bars in his district respected him for ability, the judges frequently complimented him from the bench as being a competent and worthy officer; jurors delighted to hear him sift the evidence in his usual clear, forcible manner, and bis clients were happy when they entrusted their cause to his care. ' He is eloquent, logical, flu ent and forcible; is at perfect ease as a lawyer before the bar and, above all " eruditus in lege." There are very few solicitors or State's attorneys who uni formly retain their fortitude and integ rity and the well-merited confidence of their fellow constituents as well as our pubj-.'ct did on retiring from the office of Solicitor. t In 1894, he embarked again on the stormy political seas, and this time was nominated for Congress in the Second Congressional district, but Bub-equently withdrew in the interest of harmony within the ranks of bis party. He went to Ne wbern from the contest in 1894, and continued his lucrative practice, until, like Cincinnatus, of old be was called 8gin by his const i'tient of the Second Congressional district to invest him with the nomination for Congress a second time. He responded to the call, and, on May 12, 1896, in the town of Weldon, N. C, he was nominated by acclamation. Hi theu began a thorough re-organization, by marshalling the forces of the old "Black District," and made such a gal lant fight for victory that by election day he had so completely vanquished his Democratic opponent (Woodard,) that he left the fight much disgusted at his own weak following. Mr. Woodard repre sented that district two years ago, but our subject beat him in the last election by 4.000 majority. He enjoys the rare distinction of being the only colored R"p reset tfitive in th Fifty-fifth C ngress. By thiift and industry, he has accumula ted property in his State to the amount of $15,000 or $20,000, and now lives an aav and comfortable life with his happy family, composed of his cultured and re- l fined wife and three bright and interest ing children. The oldest recently gradu ated from Scptia Seminary and is at pres ent engaged in teaching a public school in Tatboro, N. C. He entered the organ ization of the Presbyterian churchy in Newbern in 1878, has been an indefatiga ble member ever since and is said to have given moieof his means to the support of the church than any three members of it. He has more than once represented his church as a lay delegate in the Gen eral Assembly; is an elder in the church at Newbern, a member of the trustee board, and a number of years was super intendent of its Sunday school. He has just closed his sixth year as Giand Mas ter of Masons in his State, having b; en unanimously elected five consecutive times without any opposition. His ardu ous du.ies as Congressman prevented his acceptingthe election as Grand Master at Edenton a few weeks ago, but he con sented to act as Special Deputy Grand Ma ter for the State at large. He is also 1 a member of the Royal Arch Chsp'er of Masons of the city of Rileigh.and is held in the highest esteem by his fellow crafts men. In pei s oral appearance Mr. White is of ihe heavy weight, weighing 240 lbs., is 5 feet 11 inches in height, erect, perfectly formed, with great muscular strength. His features are even and fine, and his countenance expressive of firmness and decision. In conversation, he possesses uncommon talents for pleasing those around him He possesses more of the gay good humor and pleasing wit good humor and pleasing wit of Atticus. than of the fitprnnpss of Catn: hit wit is notof that coarser sort, but of thafT"6 nas ine verT same anatomy of the species which indicates a rich and pow. etful imagination. To tbe young, the old, the grave, the gay he is alike pleasing and interesting. The humblest can ap proach bim without diffidence and obtain their wants, if in his power to relieve, and to others he is at once agreeable and instructive. His life is a fine example for the emulation of the young men of the race. A perfect model of private worth and public virtue; a good citizen, a good father, and an exemplary hus band, and accomplished in letters, in the sciences and arts, and well acquainted with the best manners of society, is the subject -of this sketch, the Hon. Geo. H. White, who has the honor of alone representing over 10,000,000 of his race in the Fifty fifth Congress of the United States of America. Colored American. Tbe Collectorship. The colored man and brother will get the Custom House appointment. We have advocated all along for a colored man to have this position, and further, we have named a man who we believe should have the appointment. We have not a word to say against Mr. Dancy so far as his qualifications are concerned, but we do say that New Hanover county should have the naming of the man. The man is here and it surely is not fair to us here in this Congressional district for the appointee to come from another. Most of the negrces in the State have indorsed Hon. John Thomas Howe, and these indorsements were followed by the indorsement of the Republican members of the Legislature, of which body Mr. LHowe was a member. The majority of the voters of New Hanover county have asked that Mr. Howe be appointed, and in the face of all this we see no reason why he should not be appointed.' ' Mr. Dancy was the aspitant for the office of Recorder of Deeds for the Dis tiictof Columbia. Was it political jug glery, meant to deceive the people, or was it a bena fide candidacy ? Our Sena tor will not allow that little joke that Mr. Dancy controlled the negro legisla tors in the Senatorial fight to blind him to his duty in nominating the man who is to be Collector of Customs for the port of Wilmington. Wilmington Record. THE NEGRO AND THE WHITE MAN. i South Carolinian Attending the Bap list Convention at Wilmington Writes an Article to the Messenger. Wilmington, N. C, May 10, 1897. Editor of Gazette." In Sunday morning's Messenger ap peared an article under the caption of "Supremacy of the While Man." The anicle, signed by Hugh F. Oliver, of South Carolina, was directed against one of the grand and broad minded gentle men of the Baptist Convention because he gave expression to thsa words in a speech before the onventio 1: "That the negro is as good as the white man, and that they are t n the same p'ane, and the white man is 110 better ihin the negro." This broad-minded (?) and n b!e-na-turfd(?) American citizen from South Carolina "the land of 'Red shirts' and lyncheis" and where the sentiment pre vails that negroes have no ngh's tnat white men are bound to teepect," gets very much " warmed jip" over his chris tian brother's expression, ami in reply he writes the following: Wilmington, N. C, May 8. "Editors Messenger: " In one of the sp eches to n-gbt a' the home mission boird mass-meeting, a statement was made that should m tbe lei t unmodified. It was df eland that 'the negro isa good as and the white man fee's that he is on the same plane, the negro as good as the white man and the white man no better than the negro,' This un qualified statement is untrue and its proclamation is unsafe. "But a few years alter the surrendt-r at Appomattox, and long t efore its anni versary began to be celebrated by laying tear-wet floweis alike on the grave of the Blue and the Gray, the Rev. Dr. I. T. Tichenor, the present secretary of th Southern Mission Board, its George Wash ington and its Julius Caesar, appeared be fore the Northern Baptists, assembled in convention at Chicago, because reqeu sted to speak britfly on the condition and proppec.s of the negro in the Southern States. The invitation had been given with great hesitation, but not to was it accepted. Fearlessly and faithf uby did Dr. Tichenor give his true relation, but when be said, 'The negro as developed by the Christian slaveholders of the Southern States of the United States .f America is the highest type of negro th world has ever known,' the great hall was filled with hisses and five minuieo elapsed before order was restored. At that moment Dr. Tichenor raised himsof to his full height and heroically added: 'And the fact cannot be changed by your hisses or your bayonets.' "It is desired to emphasize here the indisputable and ineradicable truth that the white man's white face is the parch ment on which God has written in letters of Heaven's dazzling light the white man's nobility, his right of eminent do main in this world. There are princi palities and powers, angels and art h ne s in the Heavenlies, and there are divinely appointed orders in the earthly places. Of these latter the white man's is the first and highest. " We must not by word orVork pull the white man down, but by all legiti mate means, and chiefly by the Gospel, we must lift the tegro up. The Christ was, and i$, a white man, and white men, and only white men, were llis Apostles. Until theie shall be no more sickness and no more death, until the heavens shall be folded up and passawsy and be no more, and mayhap forever more, the white mad' pre-eminence will stand in unchanging and uncbangable majesty, and so it ought to stand. All history and all philosophy, science and art, land and sea, hear and approve and unite in one deep and errand. A men I I " May the whitejjnjgaJjifijy-LIlilfilJ" rhich glorious poeswjiuiTerMay he never again, bv committing the sin of amalga mation, bring upon his country a desolat ing flood of blocd flowing from a thousatid fratricidal fields of battle ! Not slavery, but amalgamation, with its horrible handmaids, fornication and adultery, was the mother of our four years of war and our ten years of reconstruction, with all their damnations. This is the very sin for which the deluge came in the days of Noah. ' The sons of God saw the daugh ters of men that they were fair,' etc. "And that the negro may become all the white man Christ Jesus has given him the power and opportunity of being, is the truett prayer any man can offer for him. " Hugh F. Oliver, 'or S uth Carolina." Such vei itible rotas this .-should wreathe a donkty into smiles an I a en codile intj tears. The standard of man in not meas ured by the color of his skin nor the texture of his hair. These are only in cidents due to surrounding circumstances and climatic influences. For, truly says Shake.-peare, "Tis mind that makes the body rich, hnd as the sun breaks through the darkest cloud s honor pt ereth throuf h the meanest habit." Intellect and character are the two great forces. God's own Holy Word tella u that " out of one flesh and blood created he all of up," and that " He created man in His own image." The Degro is a man and the conclusion is that you are his brother. He breathes the same pure free air that you breathe. He thinks the same thoughts. white man. He is affected by ihe same joys and Borrows. He can make the same kind of speeches, pray the same kind i f prayers and preach the same kind of sermons. He has and can accomplish the same kind of results in the practice of medicine and law. We have had one negro to go to Harvard coll ge and come out at the hetd of his class, and he was the only colored man in it. So, Mr. Writer, be not deceived, for " Be it high or be it low, From the cook-pot to the Senate," There's not a spot on earth Where some negro isn't in it." This is only cur season of preparation. We have undergone and are only under going what your race and all other racts have gone through who have ever at tained grt atness in this world. The chil dren of Israel had the same experience. In the days of ancientr Rome there was a constant strife between the Plebians and Patricians. Later on in England between the Normans and the Stxons; now be tween the English and Irich, and in ih s country between the negro and the white man. "But you can't loose "cuffee"; h- is coming and will get there with you everv time." . We do not know nor do we care whether Christ was a white man or not; but we do know that the Bible tells us that "we shall be like him" if we love Gcd, and all mankind. For no man is a Cnristian who does not believe in that broad Jrffersonian spirit enunciated in our Declaration of Independence, which says: "All men are created equal." We must acknowledge the fatherho .d of God and ihe brotherhood of man. And, Mr. Writer, if you will revert with me for a short time to ancient history, you will know that we (the regro) can boast of an ancestry who planned and constructed the ancient pyramids r.f Egjrpt. You will know that Mosea was ot negro descent. You will know iht Alexander the Great, Hannibal the Great, Carthagenian general, and Macto, that most illustrious military genius of the nineteenth century, were all of negro de scent. You will know that Toussaint L'Onverture, whom Wendell Philips has declared as surpassing Napoleon, Crom well or Washington, was a full-blooded negro. And if you will be frank and give ex- pre sion to your honest convictions, you will acknowledge, as thousands of your brothers in white have done, that this country has never produced a white man who was in any way tbe superior to that grand, philanthropic and mrst scholarly old son of Ham Frederick Diiugla&s. You will acknowledge with William Dean Howell, America's greatest living novelist, that Paul Lawrence Dunbar, that young rising negro poet, sings with a native sweetness which can only be compared to that of Robert Burns. And there are hundreds of other m ble characters of our race to whom we could point with pride and pleasure. And no self-respecting negro, unless he is a fool, will acknowledge a man to be his supe rior simply because his eyes are blue, his skin white and his hair straight. There are ugly white folks as well as ugly ne groes. There are good looking negroes as well as good looking white folks. There are poor white folks as well as poor negroes. Ther-3 are wealthy negroes as well as wealthy white folks. There are ignorant white people as well as ignorant negroes. There are learned negroes as well as learned white people. We are all serving tbe same God and journeying to the same de tination. When we die we all go back to the same dust and our souls either go to the same heaven or the same hell. Then, in conclusion, let me commend to you these most timely words of the most iilustriou-j lyric poet of modern times that sainted Scotch bard, Robert Burns: "Then let us pray that come it may, As come it will for a' that: That sense and worth o'er a' the earth May bear the gree, and a' that. a For a' that and a' that It's coming yet for a' that; That man to man the world o'er Shall brothers be for a' that.
