SOUTHERN LYNCHERS SCORED The Negro Defended from the Ac- cusations Against Him. SOCIAL DISCRIMINATION “The men who stab Christianity deepest ere the men who wrong their colored brothers.” Thus spoke Frederick Douglass last night, | with uplifted eyes and arms, as if to in- voke heaven to bear witness, and the echoes of his words were drowned in a tumultuous storm of applause from an audience that could appreciate the application of his statenent. It was an impressive ‘scene. Standing on the rostrum, his hair silvered by the touch of time and trouble, his form slightly bent with the weight of three score years and ten, yet with voice un- shaken, that voice which for half a cen- tury has cried out for the emancipation of his people from physical and social bond- age; with brain still teeming with practical ideas for the advancement of the colored race; with the same old fire and fervor proceeding from his great big heart he launched bitter invective against his foes, scathed lukewaem fiends with keenest sarcasm and gave good advice -to his friends. As he looked out from the ros- trum his gaze fell upon a sea of upturned faces of his own color, earnest, intelligent countenances of men and women, who fol- lowed his words with deepest attention and frequently evidenced their understanding and appreciation of his remarks. : The Issues of the Hour. , It was the occasion of an address upon the issues of the hour, delivered at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church. The prin- cipal portion of it was a studied effort to refute the charge made against the negroes of the south, in defense of frequent lynch- ings, that they are guilty of outrage upon white women and that lynchings are but in punishment of this fearful crime and as a warning to prevent repetitions of it. His defense was mainly confined to the state- ment that the guilt of the victims is not proven and to his belief that they are not guilty of that crime, but that the charge is made against them but to furnish excuse for hounding them and taking their lives. It was when Mr. Douglass left this branch of the subject and touched upon other fea- the fullest height of his eloquence and logic, and thrilled his audience with some- the statement that he would give a colored man’s view of the unhappy relations at present existing between the white and col- ored races in the south. “We have had the views of the southern man, qualified by his own surroundings,” he said. ‘‘We have also had the northern man’s views, tempered by time, distance and a higher civilization. You must not be surprised if my testimony shall differ froni both. The Most Serious Problem. “There is one thing in the start upon which we must all agree, and that is that this negro problem is one of the most ser- fous which confronts the American people. it involves questions that are great, obvious and increasing. The fact that 8,0UU,V0U peo- ple are regarded as outside of society,law and humanity, victims of mob rule and murder, is a disgrace to the whole nation.” He said that the contagion has invaded the north, is spreading, and if allowed to go on will involve our whole country. “Not a breeze comes to us now from late rebellion states that is not tainted and freighted with negro blood.” The mob has superseded courts and juries, laughs at legal processes, and red- handed murderers stalk through the land. We claim to be a Christian people,yet noth- ing jn the history of savagery equals the horrors of mob vengeance in the south. is popularly believed that only buzzards and hyenas despoil dead bodies, yet the mobs of the south commit the most fiendish mutila- tions upon the bodies of their victims. He drew a horrible picture of the lynching of a| ravisher, and deepened its horror by the subtle intimation that the victim may have been innocent. it Presumptions Against the Negro. The great trouble with ihe negro tn the south is that all presumptions of law and fact are against him. An abandoned wom- an has only to say a negro has insulted her and he is mobbed. A white man has but to blacken his face and commit a crime in order to have a negro hung. The in- dictment drawn up against the southern negro paints him as a ferocious monster. He is charged with the most revolting crime which a human being can commit. This charge is made against the colored race as such. It must be refuted, and he ers, not because of his ability, but because he believes in the goodness of his cause. He stated that he believés the colored man is not any more generally guilty of the crime imputed to him than’ any other species of the human race. He described the mob, the ease with which it is created and the motives by which it is inspired. ‘Therefore he challenged the credibility of the mob as a witness against the negro. His Accusers’ Veracity Impeached. “| further impeach the veracity of men who openly violate the Constitution of the United States and boast of it. Men who the negro in one thing will He pe fae hea in another. Men who will cheat the negro of his vote I will not ac- cept as witnesses against the negro. ‘Another point which he brought forwara as proof in favor of the negro was that dur- ing the war while the men of the south were absent in the war, the negroes were left in charge of the women and children, and there was never a case of assault. Those who bring this charge and hurl it into our faces do not dare to confront the negro in a court of law. He is not allow- ed to vindicate his own character, or what is easier perhaps, to criminate the character of his accuser, It does not serve their pur- |pose to have their own characters shown >. “Moin the little town in which I live, good as the people are, I believe that a man standing on the Anacostia bridge could raise a mob to come up to my place and Jattack me if the cry were raised that 1 |fad assaulted a woman.” Why was it that lauring the war and during reconstruction times no cry was raised against the negro, charging him with the crime now imputed? ‘They went on killing negroes, however, and they based thelr murders upon the ground that it Was necessary to maintain Anglo- Saxon supremacy. Why was not the pres- lent charge brought then? The only rational answer is, that the charge either was not thought of or was not deemed necessary to support the lawless actions. He an- {nounced his belief that the present charge ‘against the negro is brought to blest his {reputation and work his destruction. The |perpetual reiteration of the charge has j \finally caused people to come to believe it. | “It is deceiving our friends who look at us |with averted eyes. The charge comes as a ‘part of a well-defined and simultaneous movement toward the ostracism and ex- clusion of the colored race, which is indi- cated by a concerted effort to cripple the negro’s right to.exercise the elective fran- | chise.” Against Southern Lynchers, He made some very bitter statements against the people of the south who engage in lynchings. Lynchers of the soutp are not like other men. Human nature in the south is perverted and corrupted by long] abuse of power. In this case we are not | People.” tures of the negro problem that he rose to | thing of his own fervor. He began. with! It! announced his readiness to meet all com- | dealing with civilized men, but men brought up in the wanton and unrestrained exercise of power. The lynchers of the south are not like ordinary men. These people have not been in sympathy with the spirit of civilization of the rest of the world. “These people are as separate from other people as thugs and pirates are from other How was this spirit evidenced during the war? By importing blood hounds to hunt loyal soldiers, by scattering cholera, yellow fever and poison. Their institutions have not taught them to respect human life, and especially the life of the negro. A dead negro with them is but a joke. Social Discrimination. Mr. Douglass then branched off into a dis- cussion of other features of the negro prob- lem. He referred bitterly to the social dis- crimination against the negro. “Our Young Men’s Christian Association of the District of Columbia—Christian asso- | ciation, mind you, does not like anything dark! Talk about Bob Ingersoll as an op- ponent of religion. The men who stab the Christian religion deepest are the men who | wrong their colored brothers. Men are | more than institutions. Education is great, | but manhood is greater. Men were not | made as an attribute of education, but edu- | | eation is an attribute of man. 1 would not make illiteracy a bar to the ballot, but the ballot a ba> to illiteracy.” The world’s fair even was guilty of crimination. It was hoped that here at j least the idea of human brotherhood would be exploited. But human caste here made itself felt. It was a “White City.” All classes and conditions were there except the educated negro. “People from abroad noticed that although there are 8,000,000 of us, there was not one negro appointed a commissioner or to a place of honor, or even as a watchman or guide. The freest nation upon the earth turned its back upon a portion of its people.”” The Lawiess Limitation of Suffrage. It is the lawless Imitation of suffrage which makes trouble in the south. If the negro knows enough to fight for his coun- try he knows enough to vote. “The proposition to disfranchise the col- ored voter of the south in order to solve the race problem I derounce as a mean and cowardly proposition, utterly unworthy of an honest, truthful and grateful nation. It is a proposition to sacrifice friends in order to conciliate enemies, to surrender the Constitution to the late rebels for the lack of moral courage to execute its provisions. The fevor with which this cowardly propo- sition of disfranchisement has been re- ceived, by white and black, by republi- cans as well as demccrats, has shaken my faith in the nobility of the nation. Decline of National Moral Sense. “When the moral sense of a nation be- gins to decline and the wheels of progress to roll backward there is no telling how low the one may fall or where the other will stop. This downward tendenéy has already swept away the important safe- guards. It has invaded the Supreme Court. It has destroyed the civil rights bill and has converted the republican | party into a party of money rather than a party of morals, a party of the past in- stead of a party of progress, a party of material interests rather than a party of humanity and justice.” | He deprecated the movement for the colonization of the negro in Africa, and spoke at considerable length upon this branch. He was very bitter in his denun- ciation of the government refusing to help | the negro in the south. We can help the | queen, Liliuokalani, but can’t help our own people. It is such a helpless government. —_——— TO OPPOSE MR. GROW. yivania Democrats Have Trou- ble in Finding a Candidate. The hardest work the leaders of the Penn- sylvania democracy are having on the eve of the state convention to nominate a Con- gressman-at-large is in inducing some suit- able person to become a candidate. Gov. | Pattison and Adjutant General Greenland , held a conference with Andrew G. Curtin, “the war governor,” in Philadelphia yester- day and endeavored to secure his consent to | become a candidate® The venerable ex-gov- ernor was inexorably firm in his declination to run despite the entreaties of the governor and the head of the state National Guard. National Chairman Wm. F. Harrity, ex- District Attorney John R. Read, State Chairman J. Marshall Wright, and other — democrats were in conference last night, and after numerous selections had been dropped, because of the refusal of | those chosen to pose, a determined effort | Was madc by Mr. Harrity to induce James | Denton Hancock of Franklin, Venango county, to accept the nomination. Although Mr. Hancock said late last night that he would not accept the nomination, it Was regarded as extremely probable that today’s convention would nominate him,and that strong pressure will be brought to bea> by Mr. Harrity and his friends to have him accept the honor. W. Hayes Grier, state superintendent of public printing, has announced his willing- ness to become the nominee, and should Mr. i Hancock persist in his refusal to serve, it is | likely that Mr. Grier will be chosen, -cee- A BIG SMUGGLING RING. Sensational Developments Soen Ex- pected at San Francise ‘The customs authorities at San Francisco, assisted by special treasury agents, have junearthed a gigantic smuggling ring, em- | ploying at least three vessels in its nefar- fous practices. George Wichman, a prominent jdealer of San Francisco, and Louis Green- |wald of Victoria, B. C., are in the county jail charged with smuggling 5%” pounds of opium and thirteen Chinese ashore on the northern coast in September last. he arrests were due to a confession made by a man named Miller, who was taken into custody last Sunday night. War- rants have also been issued for E. W. M Lean, formeriy custom house interpreter, and George Thomas, a photographer. Other warrants will be taken out during the next | few days against prominent business men | candy service.

The London Times commenting on the relations between the United States and Hawaii, says: “American political men may argue that owing to the Hawaiian queen's dilatory conduct, President Cleve- land’s offer to procure her restoration no longer holds good. Technically, that may | be true, but will such a piece of pettifos- ging commend itself to the judgment of ithe American people? The President has declared himself prepared to co-operate in any legislative plan consistent with Amer- ican honor, integrity and morality. Can the recognition of a government described | by the President himself as impossible by | force and fraud form part of such a plan? The President's offer may, indeed, have lapsed by the passage of time, but the moral grounds on which he based it cannot have vanished, even in the stress of Amer- ican politics, in less than a month.” — + eee es Against the Wilson Bill. | The employes of the carpet milis at Lowell, Mass., who have recently suffered from heavy cut downs, have drawn up a petition to Congressman Stevens repre- senting that they can see no hope tor the future if the Wilson bill be- comes a law, inasmuch as it reduces the tariff on carpets. They therefore ask him to endeavor to chahge the proposed law so that the present schedule may be kept in force. This petition is signed by every employe of the Lowell carpet mills, and will be forwarded to Mr. Stevens. od Pure food exposition every afterno-n and evening at Convention Hail.

Those That Were Made After The Star's Report of Yesterday Closed md at the Night Session, After The Star's report closed yesterday speeches were made on the tariff during the afternoon session by Messrs. Black and Hopkins of Illinois, the latter presenting the protection and the former the anti-protec- tion views which are in conflict in that state. Several speeches, not occupying a great | amount of time nor listened to by a very | large audience, were delivered at the night session. There may have been forty mem-| bers on the floor and 300 persons in the galleries when the night session was open- | ed with a speech by Mr. Haines of New York, who is one of the democratic kickers against the bill. The last speaker of the evening had an audience of scarcely more than a dozen | members on the floor and about fifty or six- ty persons in the galleries, More than 300 vacant chairs on the floor | yawned at the speakers and the brilliant | lights in the hall, the cloak rooms and cor- ridors disclosed gaping emptiness. Some Members Noticed. During the entire session Kilgore, who has got ‘n the habit of attending night ses- sions, by being always on guard on private bill nights, occupied his seat, which is at the head of the aisle at the main entrance. Two or three seats in front of him sat, for a while, O'Neil of Massachusetts, who was | waiting for half an hour with his overcoat | on for a chance to slip out without being | missed, while the contemplation of the} emptiness his departure would have caused | him to hesitate. Cooper of Indiana, Tucker, | Meredith, Brookshire, Henderson and two_ or three others sat on each side of the cen- | tral aisle, facing first this way and then) that, according to which side of the House | the orator occupied. Beyond this narrow | line of volunteers stretched on either hand the great field of vacant seats, with now and then, at great intervals, a member or an employe, as lonely and conspicuous as a fly in a large pan of milk. The Collars Caffe Protest. Like Antony lifting the mantle from the dead Caesar, Mr. Haines laid on a stretcher in front of the Speaker's desk, while the ‘assembled multitude” of members—say probably twenty-five—crowded about him. The object on the stretcher was the mortal remains of the late lamented vox popull | embalmed in the highest art of bookbinding. | It was a volume three feet by three, and two feet thick of the names of 69,000 some hundred and some of the people of Troy | petitioning for the preservation of pzotec- | tion for collars and cuffs. { With this before him, Mr. Haines pleaded | for the men, women and children of Troy. A page leaned over to look into the volume and got lost between its leaves. M>. Hare, | who walked down quietly to look at the volume after the speech was over, had two | of the larger pages hold up one lid while he | looked at a few of the signatures. Before closing *. up great care Was taken to see that no one got caught between its leaves. Some Republican Questions. While Mr. Haines was pointing at this! great book and declaring that he would neve> vote for the Wilson bill until the duty was restored on collars and cuffs he was in- terrupted by some republicans who wanted to know why iron ang steel and wool and several other things should not be protected s well collars and cuffs. Afte> Haines came Woomer of Pennsylva- nia, Pendleton of Texas, who quite disa- | greed as to the powers and privileges and principles of taxation, and Gen. Curtis, the giant of the House and the hero of Fort Fisher, spoke in advocacy of the protection | to farmers, especially of stock farmers. Mr. Black of Iilinois. Mr. Black during theflate afternoon said that it had been asserted by the protec- ticnist party that the McKinley law had increased the general range of wages, but he doubted that staterrent. Protection had not had the result of keepifig the wage market up. Three times during the ascend- ancy of those protecting laws within the | last ten years had the industries of the country been disturbed. On two of these occasions the republican party had not made the excuse which they were now makirg, that it was due to threatened changes by the democratic party, for the periods of depression occurred when the republican party was in the affluence of its ascendancy. A reasonable explanation of the present depression was to be found = 0 which left the balance. of trade in our favor by nearly $20,000,000, in more recent ears the crops of this country had fallen ur below expectations, and the balance of trade swung against us in one year $297,- 000, Another cause of business depres- suggested by the gentleman from West Virginia (Mr. Wilson), was the wasteful extravagance with yublic money which hai marked recent years. Mr, Black denied that the present de- pression could be attributed to the oncom- ing of the democratic party. That was an old wite's fable and “was incapable ‘of proof. The depression which had come i { | upon the country had been due to the dis- regard of the fundamer.tal law of taxation. Mr. Black spoke, too, of the protective s against Canadian agricultural pro- ets, although, he said, they were no cheaper than similar American products and commented upon the fuct. that. peti. tions had been presented in Congress re. cently against allowing Canadian workmen to cross into the United States, work ail day, and return at night. That, he said, | as an instance of the false position into Which the public mind had been forced by jong worshipping at the altars of protec- Mr. Cannon (IIL) asked nis cot whether he was in favor of permittiue an nadlan workmen to cross the boner and compete with American workmen, Mr, lack said that im the case of Cana- dian and American workmen there was no distinction of race or blood. Brothers were on either side of the line. and so were fa. thers and sons. He therefore would not ine terdict the coming of Canadian work men until it Was demonstrated that t would work inj ico jury to American wort _ Am I to understand,” Mr. Cannon aan: H “that my colleague would remedy the evil by bringing American wai ‘0 a level with the wages paid in Europe? | “If I were being chased by bees,” Mr, | Black replied, “1 would lay down the hon. and if 1 were being set on by woives 1 would get the fresh beef out of their sight So, if I were certain tha é betng overwhelmed by vast masses of seeking our shores because of this belief (a fallacious one), that wages were higher Lere, I would seek to repeal those laws which made wages higher, and would let wages have their natural play all over the world.” In concluding his Speech, Mr. Black said: I do not see why we should shrink trom | the name of free traders. Everything which the human race has won, has had in its plumes the word “free.” Free speech, free! press, free thought. Everything worth but. ing is free. And in the end we will have the country free from unjust exactions. (Democratic applause). Mr. Hopkins in Opposition. Mr. Hopkins (1), a member of the com- mittee on ways and means, began by say- i victory of 1802 of the majority of that com- mittee, as embodied in the Wilson bill, bad hot been accepted by the industrial nort and judging by the protests which have come up from Alabama, West Virginia, Louisiana and other states in that section where the spirit of industry has found lodg- ment, it not been approved by the south either. > bill is an anomaly—as a revenue league it Americans were | en Tl | would be d—-d if he would. They measure it is a contessed failure, cutting off seventy millions, while the government is unable to meet its obligations. Tt is also @ surrender of the boasted principles which the democrats claim are so dear to their hearts. While they have been loud an@ long in their denunciations of republicans and of the republican method of tariff tegislation, they have not, in this bill, had the courage of their convictions to reverse the legisla- tion of the republican party in this respect and put a revenue duty upon any of these articles. They have compromised with their consciences, however, by making a deadly assault in the bill upon every industry throughout the New England, northern an@ western states. No industry that was giv- ing employment to labor at remunerative wages and was developing a market for the products of American farmers has escaped. Mr. Hopkins devoted some attention to the basis of the argument for a protective tariff in this country. It was not that the productions of America need protection against those of Engiand or any other for- eign country because the industries are younger, but because the industries in America are carried on under a higher Civ- ilization, a civilization in which the human element in production is more expensive than it is in other countries. This ques- tion has resolved itself into one of labor and the contest that is being waged by the democratic part to pass this Wilson bill is a war upon the laboring class of America. The necessity of a protective tariff was further shown by Mr. Hopkins, to provide revenue for carrying on the government, which was now administered at an average cost of $1,260,000 a day. This sum must not only be collected at the least expense, but expended wisely. A navy, commensurate with the dignity and chare acter of the people, must be maintained; the pension roll, the chief glory of the gov- ernment, provided for, and a proper sys- tem of internal improvements carried on. Mr. Hopkins concluded his speech today, ———2+______ SHOT WIFE AND DAUGHTER. Crime of a Once Well Known an@ Respected Buffalo Man. Wm. H. Curtiss, well known, and until # few years ago a well-to-do real estate deal- er of Buffalo, shot his wife and eldest daughter, Fannie, at their home, 141 Park street, yesterday afternoon. The mother and two daughters—Fannie, aged twenty-three, and Alice, aged eigh- teen—composed the family. Their resi- dence is a new frame house, owned by Mrs. Curtiss, and had been occupied by them since last spring, when they left Mr. Cur- tiss’ home, 448 Howard avenue. Since then Curtiss had not been living with his family. The only other occupants of the house at Ihe Ulle OF ue SQuvuug Were LWO meulcal students, Messrs, Gamue and y, and & maid. Shortly before 1 o'clock Curtiss went up the steps and rang tne dvor peil, Mrs, Curtiss answered tne summons, and, seeing Who it was, sala: ~ You cannot come in, placing her Knee at the same time against the haif-open door. tasily forcing the door open, Curtiss re- plied: “I'm coming in.” Once inside he drew a revolver, and, pointing it at Mrs. Curtiss, said: “I'm go- ing wo kill you.” Then he fred twice im rapid succession. ‘The first shot took effect just below the left ear, the second entered the left side just below the floating rib. In response to the affrighted call of Mrs. Curtiss the eldest daughter, Fannie, rushed into the hall from the dining room, and Curtis¢, with inaudi- bie muttering, leveled the revolver at her and fired, the bali taking effect in her right side and entering the lung. The two students, Gamble and Eddy, on hearing the shots hurried down stairs, former following Curtiss, who had left house, and the latter summoning medical assistance for the wounded women. Curtiss was arrested half an hour after the shooting and taken to police station No. 3. In the meantime the physicians had ade a gross examination of Mrs. Curtiss and her daughter, and pronounced the lat- tel wound as probably fatal. Mrs. Cur- tiss’ wounds, while serious, are not neces- sarily fatal, though the shock to her nerve ous system may complicate her case. Curtiss tried to kill himself in the cell shortly after 2 o'clock. He broke his eye- glasses, and tried to cut an artery with a piece of glass. He was bleeding quite free- ly when he was discovered by the doorman, Until ten or twelve years ago Curtiss was largely interested in real estate in an@ about Buffalo, and had amassed a com- fortable fortune. About this time he began drinking heavily, neglected his business = family and abused the latter shame ully. He was arrested several times for cruelty, but escaped with a fine. About a year ago his wife and dauchters left his house an@ went to live at the Park street residence. Since then Curtiss has been drinking hard- er than ever. and indulging in threats to kill bis family. In September he was ar- rested on the charge of insanity, and was | confined for three months in the asylum, but on bis release returned to his habits, ending in the climax yesterday. ——s oN THE HOT WORDS NEWARK. pt. Terry Objected to Calling on Admiral de Mello. Charles Muehleck, a seaman on the Unitea States cruiser Newark, and Charles Sulll- van, a marine on the cruiser Charleston, arm rived at New York yesterday on the steamer Herschel, Capt. Salter; they were sent home as invalids. The Herschel comes from ports in Brazil. She left Rio on December 15, and Pemambuco on December 23. Muehleck kept a diary on the last cruise of the New- ark, and parts of this diary make interest- ing reading. He refused to discuss the war in Brasil, but the following extracts from his diary throw some light on the doings of Admiral Stanton in the harbor of Rio. The most in- teresting portion runs as follows: . October 22.—The admiral’s orderly report- ed to Admiral 0. F.Stanton that Admiral de Mello was approaching, and about to board our ship. The admiral at once dressed in full dress to meet Admiral de Mello at the starboard gangway. T met with smiles and pleasure. ‘The admiral showed de Mello to his stateroom. They stayed within about an hour. As they were going toward the gangway Admiral de Mello re- quested that no salute be given him, but Flag Lieutenant Smith had already given the word to the officer of the deck to salute Admiral de Meilo. The admiral was just leaving when the salutes were begun. Capt. Terry, after the first shot, gave orders to stop firing. The second and third shots ha@ by this time followed, and the full salute Was shot. As the third shot was fired Ad- miral de Mello stopped his launch and took off his hat till the salute was finished. October 23.—Between 12 and 1 o'clock Ad miral Stanton told Capt. Terry, on the quar terdeck, that he wanted him and Fleg Lieutenant Smith to accompany him (Stan- ton) at 2 p. m. to visit Admiral de Mello aboard the Aquidaban. Capt. Terry said he At 1:30 p, m. the admiral called his orderly and asked him if his boat was ready. The orderly told him it was just be- ing manned. The admiral came out and wus met by Capt. Terry. They had a few words, when Admiral Stanton requested the captain to put on his full dress and be ready at 2 p.m. The captain said he would be if he would. said Admiral Stanton, “I shall take steps to force!” They parted, the admiral going to his stateroom and telling his orderly to let him know when it was ten minutes to 2. Capt. ‘Terry walked about the quarterdeck, then to his room. At about ten minutes to 2 o'clock Admiral Stanton, Capt. Terry and Flag Licutenant Smith met on deck. Words were exchanged between them, when Capt. ‘Terry remasked that Admiral de Mello was a — scoundrel. Then the admiral said he was no such thing; that he was a good and educated gentleman. They then went to the gangway and got into the boat, The visit lasted half an hour. When they were leav- ing the Aquidaban they were saluted. They arrived about fifteen minutes later, — oe Suspected of Kairer’s Murder A negro, twenty-six years old, who says his name ts William Davis, is under arrest at police headquarters at New York for the murder of Wm.
