              <text>The celebration of the Emancipation Proclamation took place here to-day and was a grand affair.
It was under the auspices of the Emancipation Club: James H. Lee, president; Rev. W.H. Dixon, secretary; Executive Committee: Retter Allen, E.F. Braxton, Rev. J.E. Jones, J.H. Williams, A. Bannister, and S.M. Travis.
	The line of march formed on the corner of Jefferson Avenue and 23rd Street. Promptly at 12 o’clock the procession started. It was headed by the brass band from Portsmouth, Va. It discoursed lively airs and with the attractive uniforms was much admired. 
	The following organizations participated: Ponce DeLeon Lodge, 2527, G.U.O. of O.F., Damon Lodge, no. 12 K. of P., New Light Lodge No. 350 True Reformer, St. Fisherman, Blooming Star Lodge, No. 436, True Reformers, West Point, Va., Zouaves, Capt. C.H. Clark, commanding, Jones Cadets, James Taylor, captain E.P. League, Goddess of Liberty.
	The principal streets were paraded. The Zouaves from West Point, attired in their red caps, blouses and red pants, Capt. Charles H. Clark, commanding, were the subjects of many congratulations. Their maneuvers were very fine and their commanding officer need feel proud.
	A detail of mounted horsemen preceded the procession.
	B. Morrick, Chief Marshal, Robert Rogers, first lieutenant; M.Jackson, assistant marshal; Aids, D.M Gaines, P. Roane; J.C. Harris, bugler; P. Woodson, chairman Finance Committee.
Upon the return, the exercises were help in the First Baptist Church, the popular Rev. W.H. Dixon, pastor.
Devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. G. T. Jones, chaplain.
The Emancipation Proclamation was read by Mrs. Eliza Dizon.
The poem, by Mrs. Amanda V. Clarke was very fine. Her delivery was excellent.
The orator for the occasion was Mr. John Mitchell Jr., editor of the Planet, and member of the Richmond, Va. Board of Alderman.
He received a flattering welcome and spoke for an hour eliciting rapturous applause. He traced the history of the Negro from 1620 down to the present time, declaring that through all their vicissitudes the Negro was the best friend the white man ever had.
He made an appeal for equal rights and declared that there was no desire for social equality.
He urged his hearers to be truly emancipated, live sober, industrious, honest and moral lives. He beseeched them to save their money and buy land. He condemned lynch law lawlessness in all of its forms and made a powerful appeal in behalf of the Negro.
The progress of the Negro was reviewed by capt. James A.Field, ex-Commonwealth Attorney. He told of the achievements of the race, cited living examples of the truth his words contained and made a most excellent showing for the race with which he is identified. 
Editor Mitchell dined with Rev. W.H. Dixon and left at 4:35 p.m. for Richmond. 
He was booked to speak at hampton but his letter stating his inability to speak there seems to have miscarried and was returned to him at Richmond by Post Office authorities.</text>

              <text>The action of the Richmond, Va. City Council in the appropriating $7,500 in city 4 per cent bonds for the erection of an armory for the colored troops is indeed commendable and will no doubt be noted with surprise by sister cities to the south of us.
The surprise will be greater when it is known that the measure was introduced by a colored member and referred to a Democratic Finance Committee, approved by [unintelligent] Negro-hating speech by one of the members, he is being the only one to vote against it, and unanimously approved by a Democratic Common Council, and signed by a Democratic Mayor.
	It would seem that liberal-minded white men were multiplying in this section and demagogues were being ordered to take back seats. The time is not far distant when VIrginians will see what those of this city have already seen, that people regardless of race or color must work in harmony in order to achieve permanent success.</text>

              <text>The Negroes in this section of that State, principally those in Arkansas, have contracted the emigration fever again, and there is an Exodus of Black men to Africa. A dispatch from Mariana, Ark., says that colored people in that neighborhood are sacrificing what little property they have with the intention of going to the dark continent.
	One car load has passed through Brinkley, enroute to New York, whence they intend to sail for their ultimate destination. It seems as if the scheme has been worked up by colored agents, who have been canvassing that section for some time, but for what purpose or in whose interests is not known. Many of the colored people owned small places, and several heads of stock, and were comparatively speaking, in good circumstances, but have sacrificed all for a few dollars to pay their way to New York. A prominent planter purchased nineteen hogs from one of these would-be emigrants for the small cum of $5.</text>

Colored men, we must not fail to assert our manhood. This does not imply that we should be Insulting. We cannot demonstrate our position of equality before the law by boorishness or by an appeal to ill mannered methods. 
We must condemn the vicious of our race and discounterance any act which is not justified by the surrounding circumstances. 
Even though we condemn a crime alleged to have been committed by member of our race, we must insist that the law mete the punlshment. 
In taking this course we do not endorse the act of the criminal but stand for the maintenance of the law. 
In this course rests the safety of the Republic, and the perpetuity of free Institutions. 
We should stand by our leaders, and not join in with white men in crying down the worthy members of our race. 
We should condemn the venal and corrupt element of the white race, and commend the true and honest elements of it. 
When assertions are made that we hate white people,lt should be denied for we are their friends. 
We have been the oppressed and they the oppressors. There are honorable exceptions and we should not forget to state the fact. We should steer clear of the demagogue, be he white or black, democrat or republican. 
Ruin follows in his pathway and disaster awaits his blind followers before the end of the journey has been reached. 
Radical action should seldom be resorted to, and then only when the other side has forced us to it. 
Reason should supplant prejudice, and the faults we condemn in certain white men, we should be careful lest we practice them ourselves. 
To live right ls to do right. We should be positive in our action, slow to operate but sure to perform the necessary duty. We should foster a Christian, brotherly spiritual one to the other and not allow bitterness which kindles the fire of hate and allows the moldering embers to remain within the breast to keep us apart. 
Spite will satisfy petty prejudices but will sacrifice the fondest hopes.
Let us be men,-honest, Industrious, liberty-loving men. Let us exercise all of the rights and privileges guaranteed under the Bill of Rights of Virginia and the Constitution of the United States and let us merit the respect and esteem of all persons with whom we come in contact.</text>

              <text>The monument to commemorate the deeds of valor of the soldiers and sailors of the late Confederacy was unveiled May 30, and a Rev RC Cave of St. Louis delivered the oration. it was a production which has caused endless comment. Had the Republican leaders of the north been asked as to what they wished most just at this time, their answer was unquestionably have been-”Just such a speech as Rev. Mr. Cave delivered.” 
The fact that the local press had to come to his defense and bold Lee declare that he asserted the sentiments of the Southern heart made the aration all the more valuable as a campaign document, and will cause an estrangement among even those Democrats who wore the blue and patriotically fought for the supremacy of the “ old flag”.
The oration will check the streams of Finance and paralyzed Industries which might otherwise have felt the exhilarating, is backed of Northern capital. For this reason, we regret that such a reverend, Indiscreet trade killing or at or should have been allowed to air his views to the detriment of the section which he professes to love.
We know that well the southerners will suffer as a result, we cannot fail to feel the blow.
In order to give the reader an idea as to what extent this Rev. Mr. Cave’s “brains was in his breeches”,one has but to note a few extracts from his remarkable address:
“I am not one of those who, clinging to the old Superstition that the will of Heaven is revealed in the immediate results of “ trial by combat,” Shanty that right must always be on the side of might, and speak of Appomattox as a judgement of God. I do not forget that at Suwaroff triumphed, and a Kosciusko fell; that a Nero wielded it the scepter of Empire, and a Paul was beheaded; that a Herod was crowned and a Christ was crucified; and, instead of accepting the defeat of the South as a Divine verdict against her, I regard it as but another instance of ‘Truth on the scaffold, and wrong on the throne’”  
In any other country but hours those utterances would be regarded as treasonable….</text>

Memorial Day at the spot where the Union Soldiers made the first attack upon Petersburg, VA, was observed. [ unintelligent]. at the onset his remarks had the right ring, but as he warmed up to his subject he drifted away from the policy which he had previously enunciated. Here is what he said:
“Ladies of the Memorial Association, soldiers, veterans, ladies, and gentlemen. Well there can be no repentance where there is no consciousness of error, let us turn our faces to the Sun and put the Shadows of the past behind us, I speak today in the spirit of political philosophy, and not in that of sectional feeling. Let us honor our dead sons and Berry all sectional Prejudice. Love and not hate in God's way. Let us be true to him, and time will be true to us all. In the mind of God there is no South and no North.”
The above is well said, And tends to eliminate the hatred of the past and invite the prosperity of the inture. but he immediately got off the track which he had laid when he said: 
“Above the graves of these Sleepless Heroes, continue the speaker, are the simplest principles for which they died. Those principles, like the pressure of the arch, never sleep. They are like the centripetal and centrifugal forces of nature in the very structure of things. Whether the Stars shall be bridled to the center or shall fly away from the center, abide in internal operation of these spheres. Far above all Memorial monuments Will Go On The Silent conflict of opposite forces. Whether the government shall draw all its powers to and from the center; or whether, as in nature, harmonious motion shall be the compromise between the states or the general government will ever live the question whether State sovereignty or consolidated despotism shall guide the Liberties of the people.”
She has raised the berry question which the War settled. He prophesies another war:
“The wheels of government are now locked by the conflict of interest. The vital interest of the country await the section of a congress, handicapped by sectional strife. When all diverse interests are prepared by their future development for their possible gigantic struggle, a million of soldiers will need to stand between the contending combatants. The financial system of the East will be shaped by the Agricultural and Mining power of the West. Coxeyism is a prophecy of the future. The Points of Power will be the point to be destroyed.”...

It is now being discussed as to which of the two deserve the most consure, the Rev. Mr. Cave or the Board that invited him to deliver that address at the unveiling of the monument to the Soldiers and Sailors of the late Confederacy.
If has been ascertained that this Reverend hypocrite does not believe either in the Divinity of Christ, nor the inspiration of the scriptures and Bully declared that he would accept a Buddhist into his church as quick as he would anybody else.
Thus not only has the North been insulted by his selection but the Christian sentiment of the South shocked.
Rev. Dr. J. Wm. Jones who wrote the work on Gen.  Robert E Lee entitled “ Christ in Camp” would do well to change the style of the next edition if he agrees with this demagogue.
It was a good day for Richmond when he left her conflues, and a bad day for St Louis when he entered her borders.
Northern Republicans are certainly having political Capital furnished for their exclusive benefit.
Read what ridiculous assertion followed in the train of Rev. Cave’s surprising remarks:
 
“At a meeting last evening of the Southern Women's Historical Society, of this city, the origin of Dr. Cave, at the unveiling of the monument to the memory of Confederate Soldiers &amp; Sailors, at Richmond, VA, was read, and warmly applauded. The committee presented the following resolution and preamble, which were unanimously adopted: 
Whereas for many years the southern people have borne misrepresentations, How many Slanders, abuse, sneers, and jeers, hoping that time would soften the animosity of their conquerors; 
Whereas the policy of Silence has not proven a shining success...</text>

              <text>We have received “ Appointed,” on American novel by Sandra. We have perused the pages of this work with a steadily increasing interest. It deals with the North and the she row is a resident of Detroit,MI. A love story is skillfully interwoven, while race Prejudice as it exists in that section is admirable.
Not until Part II is reached does 1 fully aware of the purposes, for which the book was written. Then the scene is changed and the hero visits the southern section of the country where race Prejudice is shown in all of its malignity. 
The Afro-American’s side of it is argued and fax produced to sustain that side of the contention.
An act of terrorism based upon actual occurrence tens much to increase the interest and places in a most favorable light The Plea of the black man.
This work will do much good and should find a ready cell among the people of the race in whose interests It Was Written.
It is to be hoped that its circulation in the north may be promoted to the end that H2 knowledge of our status may be secured, and continuous efforts made for the betterment of our condition.
It would be well to state that Sanda is the nom -de-plume for Mr. WH Stowers has written this work. He was at one time connected with the “ Detroit Plaindealer.” 
The book can be obtained by addressing these gentlemen at 47 Griswold St., Detroit MI.</text>

              <text>The recent strike in the west has afforded Southern leaders the opportunity of making a great display of loyalty and at the same time and nibbled them to even up an old score against that section which in recent years, has not suffered from the devastating effects of an invasion by hostile forces. General John B Gordon is quoted as saying:
“I am Commander in Chief of the Confederate Union, which is an organization of Confederate Veterans similar to the Grand Army of the Republic. If occasion choirs it, I will March an army of old Soldiers across the long bridge over the Potomac greater than ever General Lee commanded, every man of which will fight to the death to preserve the union and commands respect for the old flag.”
Now I appreciate the emptiness of this post. The man who bought 30 years ago are not fit for active service now. It is the younger man who must respond to the call of the nation. The older man need to stay at home. More over those men who followed Gen. Robert E Lee got enough then and they are not hankering after any more of that kind of service, no matter who deserves notoriety out of it. Those who slept for years on the bare ground, faced the cannon and you overcharge are in no humor to rush wear that kind of work is to take place. Those men who new of the word in it got enough, and it is only the hot headed element who never smelt powder, save on a 4th of July or at a target practice who would lead A body of men again into such a conflict. Oh, no, Jen, talk about the state militia and not of the one legged, one armed, one eyed  Ex-confederate as the Safeguard of the nation.
 their work is done. They can't Inspire their children with national patriotism. But when it comes to the talk as to what they can and will do in another fight, there's Spirit may be willing, but the flesh is weak even to the extent of finding urgent business elsewhere when it comes to a contest as of yore...</text>

              <text>The Richmond, VA Dispatch And other Democratic journals seem to have grown red in the face and are gesticulating so wildly that one would suspect them of having the St Vitus dance.
The cause of this is the announcement that a monument is to be erected to the Patriots and martyr, John Brown.
These journals have gone so far as to threaten the railroad company which donated the site. This is a  peculiar situation of Affairs. And yet we know of no law against the erection of a monument even to an alleged traitor.
These blatant journals would deny to others a privilege which they arrogate to themselves. It is a well-known fact that many Northerners have regarded the leaders of the late Confederacy as traitors, and regarded it as a mistake that legislation prohibiting the erection of monuments to their memory app on American soil was not enacted, yet there were many others who held the opposite View and regarded such a proposition as a threatened encroachment upon the right and privileges of an American citizen.
It seems strange then that some Southerners would be so narrow-minded as to raise a hue and cry against this old man, whose hand is forever stilled, tongue forever Silenced, but whose soul is marching on.
That John Brown, by his action precipitated the War of the Rebellion, which in turn resulted in the abolishment of slavery, no one who is rightly acquainted with the truths of History will gain say or deny.
It has been declared by Southerners that the obturation of slavery was a blessing and the condition of the past, they were glad to say had gone never to return. Then why pursue further with obloquy the memory of this humble old man? If monuments to Mr. Jefferson Davis, Gen.  Robert E Lee, with numbers of others connected with the “ Lost Cause” does not revive memories and arouse sectional feeling, nessus eating constitutional enactment by the national government prohibiting the same, why should a monument to John Brown?
No, no, gentlemen, you may attempt to cover with disgrace, smear with this honor this Grand Old Man; you made the night us the privilege of wearing to his memory a modest shaft, but, sirs, in our hearts is already in shrined a living Monument which shall last until the race to which we belong has been obliterated and all traces of it lost upon the plains of Time.
John Brown was a traitor you say, but The man who perished with him witnessed his heroic example before he passed away. His prophecies were fulfilled.
Never will be forgotten the scene on that ill-fated day, when with firm tread, he walked them death and on his way to the scaffold stop and kissed the little black child, showing his love for the race of which it was a typical representative.
John Brown gave his life for the cause he advocated. He never let thousands of innocent man into a conflict, deluged a land with the blood of the Guiltless, separated husband from wife, son, Lover from sweetheart, many of whom or never to meet again until the sounding of the last Trump. He never made vacant the place at the Hearthstone and lived to see the misery which his actions had precipitated.
He never defended slavery. She loved mankind. He was the servant of humanity. A monument to him should be built and the Art of the sculptor should be in both in his behalf and as the sun lights Rays play upon the Silent Witness of this old man's self-sacrifice, black children could find no better Pastime than to list their prayers in the locality where it stands...</text>
