Hill doesn't drink, smoke or ciew, andiie doesn't get elected to office—not this year Mr. B'-ecKinridge is supporting Owens in abou^the same manner he tried to reform Madeline Pollard and induce her to lead a better life. For years the colored people of the country have served as the anvils. The day is dawning very fast when they will become the hammer. James A. Howe is doing valiant serv ice for the party and is proving a good campaign speaker. lie will be the next county attorney for Polk. lie is gentleman and a good reliable every day Republican. The year 1808 gave birth to some re markable men. Lincoln, Darwin, Tennyson. Gladstone and Dr. Holmes were all born in that year. The death of Holmes leaves Gladstone the only survivor of the list. Mine Sissiretta Jones will go to Mexico and Europe with the Walter Dainroseh Orchestra Company, having igned a contract for three years at alary of $35,000 per year. She is the leading soprano of the country, white or black. 7 One of the strongest cases of preju dice ou record is found in the case where three men who were chamber maids in a livery stable struck because a colored man was given a shovel and told to go and do like his white fellow citizens. After a dispute lasting over twenty six j'ears, the will of Thaddeus Stevens has been sustained by the supreme court. The residue of 850,0 JO will be applied to the erection of an industrial school for boys, without distinction and without prejudice. A Populist candidate for justice of the peace has "condescended" to work among colored coal miners at last. A strong desire to be justice of the peace and the approach of a hard, cold win ter seem to b« the motives wh ch prompted him to "condescend." He will be found digging coal after elec tion and be glad of tue opportunity. F. L. Harnett, late candidate for a nomination in Nebraska on the Republican ti. ket at Omaha, threatens to bolt all but the state ticket if certain grievances he has are not removed. Mr. Barnett should remember that Dr. Rii-ketts, Barnett's successful compet itor, is a colored man and a candidate for the legislature. State or county committees should not be able to make him leave a good principle and a good cause. The vacancy in the office of state oil inspector has caused several papers to press the name of a German citizen for the place because the German vote has returned to the Republican irty. The question naturally arises, what is the Republican party going to do with a class of voters who have stood firm through ail the party's trials and defeats? Are they to be rewarded? The Negro vote is necessary to success in the First and Second districts. What are they to be rewarded with— an office with a mop and broom attachment? The campaign in Iowa is founded upon national issues because eleven Republican congressmen are to be elected. While this is tru? and the THE IOWA STATE BYSTANDER wants every cne of its readers to do use all legitimate means to elect the entire delegation, yet it does not want them to forget the township and county tickets. Let it be a clean sweep. We present the state and county tickets at the head of our column and can assure every voter that they are worthy per sons and are entitled to the vote of all good citizens. Young colored men who have grad uated from the good schools of Iowa are to-day addressing audiences in neighboring states on the political issues. In Iowa the men at the helm have not seen fit, in their wisdom, to send out a colored man to expound Republican docttines. AVe are proud to say that the schools of Iowa have fitted many of them with the capability. These needless discriminations are noted by every man, woman and child in the state. We speak of these things not because we love Republicans le-s, but because we love Republican prin cioles more. The attempt to lynch a Negro in Ohio last week presents a striking con trast. Mob violence occasionally occurs in the North, but it is met with resistance and often fails in its effort. In the North there is an attempt to maintain the majesty of the law, no matter what the crime may be or who the criminal is, whether white or black. In the South there is no attempt made to sustain the law or to resist the acticn of the mob. The Negro in Ohio was adjudged guilty by a jury of his peers and sentenced by the j'idge, and the men who were unfortunately killed were attempting to usurp the authority of the courts and override' the constitution and bulwarks of social order and civil justice. Abraham Lincoln: "I am not a Knownotliing that is certain. Ilow could I be? How can anyone who abhors the oppression of Negroes be in favor of degrading any classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be prettj' rapid. As a nation we began by declaring that 'all men are created equal.' We now prac tically read it, 'all men are created equal, except Negroes.' When the Knownothings get control, it will read, 'all men are created equal, except Negroes and foreigners and Catholics.' When it comes to this, I shall prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving lib erty,—to Russia, for ins'ance, where despotism can be taken pure, and with out the base alloy of hypocrisy." B. B. Johnson who has written such interesting correspondence to this paper has severed his connection, for the reason that he has been employed to represent the Burlington Post on the road, lie is a young man, well trained in the newspaper business, having arose from the position of "devil" in the printing office. He is energetic and ambitious and thoroughly honest in his dealings and filled with a laudable ambition We appreciated his valuable service for this paper, but are glad that he has been called up higher and wish him success. Mr. Wm. Shackelford will act in the same W-fiiv capacity for TUK IOWA STATE BY STANDEH. 'He came to us with the highest possible recommend and all favors shown him by the citizens of Burlington will be appreciated by us. We have been asked if a colored man wrote the article published several weeks ago under the title "Brief Edu cational History." He certainly did. L. A. Wiles is the author. He is a coal miner and works at his trade in Much akinock, Mahaska county. He is one of the best scholars in the state—well informed in both ancient and modern history. He is also an ex-pedagogue. The ar.ticle has been read with interest by all classes and extra copies of the paper sold on account of it. It illus trates the fact that a colored man with an excellent education is compelled to dig coal for a livelihood, while a white man with a great deal leus ability is hired to address audiences on the polit ical issues of the day. There are many colored men and women all over Iowa who are compelled to accept menial positions who have the best education that !wa schools afford. We iieed a broader political view and a broader Cliristiany and a broader standard by which to measure men and women. If a thing becomes a poli'tical fact those who profess religion will soon embrace or imitate it. How many white boys and girls would spend years in school to become menials in our common wealth? It is a matter of regret to see any paper meet an untimely death, where it has added to the enlightenment and harmony of any community or state, for colored journalism is yet in its in fancy. But where the editor of any paper bears an unsavory reputation and attempts to prostitute the senti ment and support of patrons to his own selfish ends and has no respect for the women in the community in which he lives it is better to have no editor or paper. A. S. Barnett met with every encouragement when he came into this city an entire stranger, but by delving into family matters and carrying him self in a manner unbecoming a "re spectable" scoundrel. He made enemies of those who showed every desire to be his friend. He is now indulging in the pastime of parading the falsehood that the people of this city would not pay him. We desire to assu-e our ex changes that we have as good a class of people in this community as are to be found anywhere in the country and they have the ability and will pay every dollar which they agree to pay. If A. S. Barnett would pay his own debts and support those whom the law says he should support he would raise himself in the estimation of the people of the state 100 per cent. SUBSCRIBE AND THERE&Y IMPROVE THE PAPER. We have received a letter this week in regard to some omission or lack of duty on the part of some of our cor respondents We wish to say that we have instructed all of them to give the news without fear or favor—to treat everyone impartial^. There is not a correspondent or editor on earth who can give all of the news all of the time. The trouble many times lies in the fact that our readers will not inform the correspondent or editor of facts and news, but leave him to guess or find out for himself. We want the news but hope that the citizens of the various towns will realize ihe fact that it cost us money to procure agents and cor responden s, and that each and every one should subscribe and pay for the paper in order to improve it and make it nearer what it should be. If 3rou can not take TUE IOWA STATE BY STANDER for one year, take it for six months or three. Our terms are pub lished at the head of the column on the first page. Where it is shown that any persons have been injured we are will ing to make all proper amends. IS YOUR NAME THERE? It is the duty of all good Republicans to be properly registered this fall be fore election The last General As sembly made some changes in the law and the only way to do now is to see that "your name is written there," If you have changed your ward or pre cinct it will be necessary to register again or procure a certificate of dis missal from yonr former ward or pre cinct, and uiion presentation to the board in your new ward or precinct your name will be enrolled there. The best way to avoid all disputes and trouble will be to register. The regis tration boards began their work on Thursday. There is a hard fight, in the First and Second districts and the Afro-American vote is absolutely necessary to the .suc cess of the Republican cause. This vote is needed as badly as the German vote in the Second, which the Republican managers have made such strenuous efforts to regain, to the neglect, in many instances, of the Afro-American vote. The Afro-Americans of Iowa are battling for he upbuilding of Repub lican principles. The men 011 the ticket are merely the exponents and after the election their careers wi 1 be watched closely. We hope the many readers of Tin: IOWA STATE BYSTANDEK will regis er, work hard and earn, stly for success and after election wateli the A. A--ir r.. Xit.- IOWA STATE BYSTANDER. men and see if they adhere to the prin ciples of the Republican party and their eloquent utterances on the stump. BUSINESS IS BUSINESS. THE IOWA STATE BYSTANDEK en tered the field several months ago for the purpose, as it then declared, of doing business accprding to approved and legitimate business methods. It has strictly adhered to that principle. There was not a colored Republican paper in the state of Iowa founded and operated on that basis. It does not expect any member of the party to bow down and pay homage to it, but it just ly expects courteous treatment from members of the party. We do not want something for nothing. The editor has not even smoked a candi date's cigar and as long as we are in good health and sound mind, do not expect to. The paper reasonably ex pects respectable treatment and busi ness that comes through regular and proper channels. It has been sent notices by public men for which there was no recompense. They were publish ed. Now there is business of this kind for which there is recompense It has not been received. At other times our solicitor has asked for advertising which has been directed to an erratic mugwump paper for several years. He was informed that it was a matter beyond the control of the men who gave them to the aforesaid mugwump paper. This is a good story to tell an Esquimau, but it don't go in this neck o' the woods. A good politician should also be a good logician. This state has 15,000 colored people and they are coming in daily as members of THE IOWA STATE BYSTANDER family. It occupies afield that no other paper in Iowa has or can occupy. It believes in Republican principles and while so believing it proposes to maintain its manhood to the last. It is not our business to go about asking candidates for 25 cents up to ?50. That is not our business on earth this time, at least. But what we do want is the same charce that other Republican papers have. No matter in what language they are published they are looked after by being given business of this kind. The streets of Jerusalem were kept clean by every man sweeping before his own door. It would be better and more appropriate for the Republicans to say less about Democracy and sweep before their own door in this respect. ST. PETER CI.A.VER UNION- The above is the title of a national organization of Colored Catholics. They met in the city of Baltimore Tues day of last week and were addressed by Cardinal Gibbons and Very Rev. J. R. Slattery, President of St. Joseph's sem inary. Mass was celebrated by Rev. Charles R. Uncles, the first colored Catholic priest ordained in the state of Maryland. The union is composed of colored Catholics from all parts of the United States. Baltimore has three colored Catholic churches with large and growing memberships. The col leges, seminaries, homes for children and the sisters form a very important adjunct to the. work of this organiza tion. The first congress of colored Catholics was held iu the city of Wash ington in 1880, and this union is the outcome of work and plans formulated at the world's fair in 1893. The pre lates, as a rule, said that colored Cath olics were not discriminated against by any law of the dioce»e, although they said there was slight discrimination by some individual churches which was deprecated. Education of colored peo ple was discussed at length and plans put on foo'. for the founding of a uni versity. Father Stephan has 250 acres of land near Washington, D. C., at his disposal, which may be used for school purposes. For years the Catholic churches all over the country have a day set apart for the purpose of collect money for the building of school houses and educating the colored people of the United Stales. Miss Ida B. Wells' crusade against lynch law and discrimination against Negroes was endorsed, and a committee appointed to wait upon President Cleveland and lay before him certain matters relating to the lynching of Negroes, with the accompany resolu tions of the union. Officers of the union for the next two years were eleced as follows: W. S Lofton, of Washington, president G. R. Wade, of Baltimore, vice presi lent Frederick McGliee.ofSt Paul, Minn., secretary S A. Spencer, of South Car olina Rev. Jos. A. M. Shorter of Leavenworth, spiritual director, and Charles II. Butler of Washington, John T. Carter, of Baltimore, R. N. Wood, of New "York and A. J. Bell, of Kentucky, board of directors. A SOUTHERN MISTAKE. From th* Springfield, (Jfaxs.,) Republican. Southerners are laying too much stress on that silly exhibition of race prejudice which some Brooklyn, N. Y., people are making. These Brooklyn ites have gone into hysterics because a Negro who is eminently respectable, educated and wealthy has bougnt a house in a semi-fashionable neighborhood, in whi he and his family intend to live. Race prejudice and nothing else is at the bottom of these hysterics and so far as this is true these negrophobists in Brooklyn de serve all the jeers and mock sympathy which the negroprobists of the south choose to bestow upon them. Negro phobia and raee prejudice is a pr. per subject for jeers and scuttling. always and everywhere, and so i-, the hypocrisy which condemns the exhibitions of this prejudice in one section of the country' DES MOINES, IOWA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1894. NO. 21. while'yielding to it in another. When southerners catch the northerners imi tating their bad example in the treat ment of the Negro, it is their privilege to throw back the northerners' con demnation of themselves with as much sarcastic force as they can muster. Really the northerner who yields to that prejudice so as to exclude or con cent to tue exclusion of a Negro from any right or privilege to which he as a law abiding citizen is entitled, is a greater offender against the spirit of our institutions, common justice and the dictates of Christianity than is the southerner, for the latter has the tra ditions of slavery and certain unpleas ant conditions and experiences to ac count for and, to some extent, excuse his course. Let the southerner condemn northern hypocrisy in this respect as much as he will, therefore, but let him not commit the serious blunder of thinking that these sporadic outbreaks of race prej udice at the North justify the chronic state of injustice toward the Negro in his own section. A rumpus over the coming of a Negro to live in a white neighborhood of the North, or the occasional difficulty of Negroes in find ing such homes as they would like in northern towns, or any familiar exhi bition of this prejudice in the North, does not excuse the separate car law, or the exclusion of Negroes from white churches, schools and theatres, or the general ostracism to which the black citizens of southern states are subjected. Southerners may find defenses tor this ostracism which sa'tisfy them—that is not a matter of present concern—but Northern lapses from virtue cannot fairly be used as such defenses, any more than an occasional exhibition of mob brutality at the North can be fairly used to defend southern lynch ings. If it is hypocrisy for such people as these Brooklynites to condemn southern treatment of 1 he Negro, it is exactly as much hypocrisy to justify southern extremes of ostracism of the Negro by citing the occasional mild lapses at the North. INDIAN TERRITORY. ••Five Nation" Made M*re Prosperous by the Addition of the Xegroe.4* From the Chicago Tribune. The Creek Nation is an alert and active one, which is largely due to the Negro element which fairly controls it. In the Choctaw Nation it is death for an Indian to intermarry with a Negro. In any of the five tribes where the Negroes have a fair chance there is a perceptible progress due to them. The Nogroes are among the earnest workers in the five tribes. The Creek Nation affords the best example of Negro progress. The principal chief, virtually a Negro, comes of a family in Creek annals. His name is Lequest Choteau Perry man. He was born in the Creek Nation, Indian Territory, March 1, 183S educated at Tallahassee Mission of the same nation enlis ed in the Union ariay in Kansas November, 1862, and was mustered out as Sergeant Major of the First Regiment Indian Home Guards, 1805. He served as Dis trict Judge of the Coweta Dis trict, Muskogee Nation, six years was elected to the council and served thirteen years. He was elected principal chief and inaugurated Dec. 5, 1887. for the term of four years. The Negroes, once slaves of the five tribes, are of much interest in connec tion with the final settlement of the land question. The five tribes, except the Seminoles, all owned slaves prior to and during the war. These were freed by the proclamation of emancipa tion, and this was enforced and con firmed, after much protest, by the treaty of 1806. In 1860 the total num ber of slaves held by the five tribes was 7,360. The Seminoles held no slaves in Indian Territory, but they intermarried with Negroes. Since the war there has been a very laree increase in the Negro population of the five tribes by immi gration from the old slave states ad jacent. The Negro question in the Cherokee, Chickasaw, and Choctaw Nations, the equities and rig its of these people in the lands of the five tricbs, and as to citizenship, have yet to be properly settled. The population of Negro descent in the five tribes, which includes former slaves, in 1890 was as follows: With the Cherokees, 5,127 ChicUa-aws, 3,676 Choctaws, 4,406 Creeks, 4,021 Semi noles, 806 total 19.636. SHOO JULY. From a Mahaska County Xetjro Paper. What do you think? The "grate journal," Des Moines "Register Annex," published in Clarkson's garret, came out last week without a single line of calumny for the Negro solicitor. Strange, isn't it? They rest from their labors As a result the boys got 4 columns of advertising matter in their paper. It will pay them better. NEWTON NOTES. Sjxcial Correspondence to Iowa State Bystander. Rev.'M. I.

The Republican Party the Only Real Friend of the Working Man—Some Statistics Showing: the Source of For mer Prosperity. Ilow much wheat did we ship an nually to Great Britain in 1870 and two years prior to that date also, how much in 1889 and 1892? ASA BOYD. Englewood, Cook county, 111. Our exports, of American wheat and flour to Great Britain during the years mentione by your correspondent are given as follows: Wheat. Flour. Bushels. Barrels. 1808 12 IMS,410 484,708 IfctW 13.35ii.550 407,OSS 1870 27.787,609 1,188.351 1889 31,568,536 5.271.344 1892 07,293,960 9,003,910 The phenomenal growth of this ex port trade is astounding. Within a quarter of a century, during the whole of which a protective tariff system was in force, our exports of wheat to Great Britain increased by 55,000,000 bushels, or 550'per cent, while our exports of flour, which we also give in order to make the exhibit complete, although not asked for by our correspondent, increased from 484,700 barrels, in 1868 up to 9,003,910 barrels in 1892. an in crease of nearly 9,200,000 barrels dur ing the quarter of a century, or a gain of almost 2,000 per cent. If we take 4 bushels of wheat as the equivalent of a barrel of flour, and apply this to our exports of flour in 1808 and again in 1892, we find that the total equivalent of our exports of wheat and flour in 1808 was 14,549,023 bushels of wheat, and that twenty-five years later it has reached 110,511.555 bushels of wheat, an increase during the quarter.of a century of very nearly 100,000.000 bushels in our exports of wheat to Great Britain. The farmers of the United States have no reason for saying that foreign markets have been closed to them under the policy of protection. On the contrary, they have been increased to a marvelous extent. FARMER'S LOT A HARD ONE. Prices Have Fallen SO Per Cent Since Grover's Crowd Ruled the Roust. The lot of the American farmer has not been entirely a happy one of late. Even in Maryland, so close to the seat of government and with the near by Washington market for farm products, the farmer has riot been prosperous. A sturdy democrat writes that "the provinces of the demagogue free traders are not panning out worth a cent, but tribulation on every hand abounds and the farmer finds Jordan a hard road to travel." This is from a good democrat, who likens the campaign promises of his party in 1S92 to "pie crust made to be broken." He makes this bold asser tion because he finds that "the farmer gets from 38 to 45 cents for his wheat and not that 81-25 promised 'when Cleveland was made ^'resident.'The President should look into this and re mit the farmers the balance due them, unless he is able to give a satisfactory explanation why "the deadly blight of treason has blasted"' the prices of farm products. )ur farmer friend in Maryland _i.~es the following interesting comparisons: 1892. 1894. Eggs, per dozen.... 15 ti20 conts %)4, cents Butter, per pound. 25 3.) cents 13 cents. Fine horses, each.. $150 ?50 Plugs $40(0.50 $10@25 That "Tariff Ileform" has not en riched him is evident. Farmers else where have had similar experiences. They begin to appreciate that, when men are wooing in the mines, factor ies, lumber yards or elsewhere, they have money to spend and there is a de mand for farm products. The farmer keeps on producing all the time, but when mines, factories and lumber yards are closed, the people have no money to spend, and the demand falls off while the supply is the same. A glut of farm products depreciates their value. The farmer knows this now. He understands that protection means prosperity, and that prosperity- is what the farmer is after. PRICES ARE ALL ALIKE. The Old Democratic I.ie Rattles Around and Is Again Exposed. The old time campaign cry is being1 rooted up from the hotbeds of demo cractie falsehoods in the effort to show that manufacturers are charging lower prices for their goods shipped abroad than they sell the same articles for in this country. These old lies have been contradicted time and again. The falsifiers try to rig up an argument by comparing a retail price in this country with a wholesale export price for ship ment abroad, or by comparing the values of articles of a similar character but of an entirely different quality. It is the same old lie dished up again to try and bolster up the desperate condi tions of- free traders. Here are two letters that speak for themselves: OFFICE OF DI:KI:K Co.. MOI.IXK. 111., July 15, 1S94. The charge that American manu facturers sell for export better prices than they do at home, so far as we are concerned, is not true. Our prices to foreign buyers are home prices, and packing or packages extra. Goods that are sold abroad at less than home prices are goods that have gone out of date at home, or that can not be sold at home by manufacturers for the reason of their having put a later pattern or im proved machine upon the market, which, for home market, makes the old style article unsalable. Overpro duction by a manufacturer may be dis posed of at lower than home prices where it i-ompetes with foreign goods aud does not hurt home prio.-s. The latter Instances are rare. All Ameri can manufacturers are reduced to the lowest prices in their home market by the sharp competition which now rules, and they can not make lower prices of foreign trade unless they are philan thropic enough to manufacture at a loss. This is a threadbare old charge and has been so often and fully denied that no party can reiterate it except when driven to extremities. Yours truly, The lVay the Money Goes. AVe had $13.85 per capita in circula tion in 1800, over half of which was state bank currency of uncertain value. The per capita circulation in 1893 was $25.57, ever3r dollar of which was worth 100 cents in every county in the United States. While our population was only double in 1890 what it was in 1800. the volume of currency was four times as great. A year later, it 1S94, the circulation of money had deciey.sed 50 cents per capita, and this SVr C. II. DEEIIK. STI DKIJAKKH HROS. MANTKACTUB jsr. COMPANY, fSorTir BEND. Ind., July 13, 1894. Perhaps some manufacturers sell goods for export at lower prices than they charge to the export trade we know of none sueh. Our prices for goods that go abroad are essentially the same as those we charge for goods for our home trade, the .-same figures for like #oods f. o. b. South Bend. I say they are essentially the same, the only difference being that our goods for foreign trade are priced a little stiffer than for domestic goods, for the reason that in sending goods so far from home we are obliged to take a little extra pains in their production. Cr.KM STCDKISAKEI:. Keeps ITp Our Credit. Under the democratic free-trade period from 1S50 to 1800 we imported of merchandise of every description to the extent of §514.000,000 more than our entire exports amounted to. The revenues therefrom were less than the ordinary expenses of our govern ment, while this heavy balance of trade against us so damaged the credit of the government that the United States could not borrow money for less than 12 per cent interest. From 1880 to 1890 under the republi can policy of protection our exports ex ceeded our imports by §077,000,000. This balance of trade in our favor en abled our government to borrow money as low as 2 per cent and the revenue was so ample that not only were all obligations met, but over 8750.000,000 was paid for pensions and over $500, 000.000 was paid on our war debt. Vote for protection and Uncle Sam's good credit. Track Farmers, and Free Trade. The truck farmers own 75,S00 horses and mules, besides implements worth SS,971,207. The less the demand for truck the lower the value of the live stock and implements,because the fann ers will have less use for them. The shipment of the truck to market is also quite a factor. There are farmers who haul their own stuff and sell it. There are more who ship by railroad"' or steamer. There are tfce meq^jyho handle it. are the commission merchants who sell it and their men who handle it again. These form quite an army in addition to the 240, 893 men, women and children who find work on the farms. All would suffer from free trade, when people are idle and unable to buy vegetables. out ifor f-ny- ies. kail iai lice .1 vich only the threat of free trade han^i^g over us. How little will our money circulation be should we ever reach unadulterated free trade as desired by democracy? Promises but no Performances. Farmers should remember that our exports of breadstuffs this year to Aug. 31 were worth §44.000,000 less than during the corresponding eight months of 1893. In August alone there was a decrease of nearly SI0,000,000. How does that compare with the democratic promises of 1892? Free Trade and Farms. During eight years of free trade it England there was an increase of 5.7 per cent in population, yet there was a decrease of 42.8 per cent in the pro dtiet of the English farms because free trade enabled the farmers of other countries to supply their markets. Gone ISuck on Their Friends. Intelligence from various foreign countries shows that they are well pleused with our new tariff. But some how this doesn't seem to help the re election booms of democratic congress men.—Kansas Citv Journal. Kill It Sure. The Gorman tariff bill has been an nounced by the free trade leaders as but the first step toward free trade. It must also be the last step. Stand By One Another. If a farmer buys a foreign-made shirt he ought not to expect the man who makes American shirts to buy his eggs instead of Canadian eggs. Story of Liidjr DufTerln. Lady Dufferin was closely related to Sheridan le Fanu. of whom Lord Dufferin tells a little story. When a little boy, Sheridan le Fanu wrote an essay on the life of man, which run as follows: "A man's life natural ly divides itself into three parts—the first when he is planning and con triving all kinds of villainy and ras cality that is the period of youth and innocence. In the second, he is found putting in practice all the villain..' and rascality he has contrived that is the flower of manhood aud prime of life. The third and last period is that when he is making his soul and preparing for another world that is the period of dotage." A fact noted by Sir Samuel li :k-r is that a negro has never Wen known to t&me an elephant or any wild animal

A KETUESEXTATIVE of the French government has started for Madagas car to have an understanding with the Hova government.

YIIE board of awards of the world's fair, or the' committees acting under it., examined over 200,000 exhibits and made 23,750 awards, from which only five apjeals were made.

OUR country needs to study the sys tem of forest guardianship practiced in Europe and Canada. The protection provided for in Germany, for instance, is almost perfect. The American pioneers have been a vandal people, cutting away forests without rhyme or reason, and paving the way for the very desolation from which their descendants are suffering. PEREGRINE must be a girl's name in Pittsburg, for the Pittsburg Despatch speaks of Peregrine White, the first white child born in New England aC "she." Perhaps the oddest mishap that ever befell the name of Peregrine happened in a London newspaper ac count of the funeral of the duke of Wellington, wherein Sir Peregrine Maitlana appeared among the mourn ers as Sir Peregrine Pickle. THE arrest of Captain Henry How gate, formerly chief of the weather bureau at Washington, in New York, Iter a tlfu "en uiP^earch, con firms the theory that the safest hiding place is in a metropolis. Howgate, after embezzling $360,000 of govern ment funds, disappeared in 187y. The secret service agents of the govern ment have been in search for him in every part of the inhabitable globe, but without success. Br mutual agreement this country and Great Britain undertook to pro tect the Behring sea seal fisheries from poachers and pirates of all na tions whatsoever. The United States has maintained a fleet of nine vessels In the service at a cost of $400,000, while Great Britain has kept but one vessel at a nominal cost. Owing to England's failure to do her part the patrol has been ineffective, nearly every poaching sealer getting away heavily laden with skins. FRANCE has at least the virtue of perseverance in her colonizing efforts, and the army of 5,00 she is about to send to Madagascar to take posses sion of that island will be able to hold the capital beyond doubt. Four of the coast towns are now in French possession, and from these a success ful advance can be made. But Mada gascar in area is equal to four or five American states and is covered with' dense forests. It will bs along time before France can open any large por tion of its territory to settlers. GOVERNOR O'BRIEN of Newfound land is credited with boing in favor of annexing to the United States rather than to Canada. Newfoundland is not, as many suppose, a province of Canada, like New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, etc.. but is separate and independent save in a certain ill defined allegiance it owes to Great Britain. Tiie shabby treatment re ceived from the home government in the French shore matt?r has tended to alienate the Newfoundlanders so that it would scarcely require much more than a crook of Uncle Sam's fin ger to induce die codiishing country to become a part of us. WiTHoi'T in the least derogating from the credit due to sanitarians for the great work they have in many ways accomplished for society, it is certainly not out of place to hint that it is just possible they have made some .mistakes, and that their science is yet far from having spoken its last word.

The attorney did not appear, but when the cases came on he came in and tiled motions to dismiss all of them. The motions stated that they were instituted by a private party for private purposes ami that no public good was to be accomplished by them. He also said th it he would at once dis miss all the eases against Mr. Kelly in other courts and those against E. C.

A dispatch says there have been some startling developments made by the United States officers who have been searching for Deputy .Marshal Wray's assailants atAlbia. They are certain that they have an explanation for the mysterious crimes committed in this vicinity for the past two years anil have also corralled a gang of moonshiners and perhaps counterfeit ers and that they make their rendez vous in the abandoned coal shafts in Wapello and Monroe counties in the land along the Des Moines river. Bill Cramer, a noted desperado, one of the leaders, who has escaped twice from custody, has been indicted by the Mon roe county grand jury and the federal grand jury is investigating the cases of alleged moonshiners and attempted murderers, two of whom they have in custody at Council Bluffs.

The drop fell at 12:15 and the bod}' was cut down after hanging twenty,, minutes. Death was from strangulation. He died game, walked to the scaffold unassisted, aud when placed in position made a speech without a tremor, in which he characterized the law as being defective and hoped that those present and the executioner would be forgiven by God as he had been. The execution took place in the corridor of the cell room. The scaffold is a fac simile of that of Prendergast and tested by the same mechanic. Charles Cordie, of Chicago. The execution was witnessed by forty people. Sheriff Eldridge of Adams county sprung the trap, which fell five feet. No relatives were present.

Our party will vote for whatever appropriations of money may be neces- I sary to carry the present war to a ter initiation as shall serve to chastise China and to secure permanent peace for the orient. 2. Since it would only invite future I calamities to patch tip a temporary peace, our party will resolutely resist the acceptance of any proposals for peace made before the vital objects of war have been attained. Since it is of essential importance, that the whole nation should be united in order to achieve the vital objects of war our party will for the moment desist from any criticisms of cabinet errors and will apply our whole strength iu the field of foreign politics, In addition to the above, the meeting will be asked to pass an address of congratulation co the sovereign, and a vote of thanks to the army and navy for the victories hitherto achieved.

He declares his police force is not equal to the emergency, that Marshal Crump, at Ft. Smith, Ark., has not the money to keep a force of United States marshals in the field, that affairs are in a des perate state, and renews the recom mendation that government troops be sent there. This was referred to Sec retary Smith, who called the attention of the secretary of war to a previous request that troops be sent, and sug gested the urgency of early action. Attorney General Oiney sent telegrams to the United States attorney and mar shal at Fort Smith to do everything in their power to prevent the interruption of interstate commerce and detention of the United States mails. If these efforts fail the military will be called into requisition. PRICE T00_L0W. Juror in a Uurolii Case Causes a Sensa tion. LINCOLN.

Washington dispatch: The Breckin ridge-Pollard case is now formally out of court, the notice of appeal given by Colonel Breckinridge at the close ol the trial having been docketed and dismissed on motion of Calderon Car lisle, Miss Pollard's counsel. The action of the court is merely one of form, counsel for Breckinridge having failed to follow up the notice of appeal by further proceedings within the time provided by law. This ends the case with the judgment of 515.000 standing in Miss Pollard's favor against Colonel Breckinridge. Though the judgment stands on record in the courts here, the general opinion is that Miss Pollard will be unable to collect, as Colonel Breckinridge is not known to have any property which can be attached to satisfy it.

The weather has been so warm that we could not have interested you if we had tried and so we have confined our talk almost entirely during the past two weeks to the subject of free wool prices for winter suits. Hut now the weather is likely to make you think about overcoats, so we leave the 88, $10, and $13 cassimere and cheviot suits sale, which is crowding our immense store with customers from all parts of Iowa. For $8 you can buy an overcoat that was made to sell for S10. §10 and 812 will buy one that was made to sell for £12, SKi.50 and §15. Our pant sale is the heaviest we have ever had.

The prestidigi tator is not always a popular "turn:" he lacks piquancy and excitement, and very often originality but Aleorez had got hold of one or two almost startling feats which current rumor gave hiin the credit of perilously stealing from Thibet. At all events his name on the bill was a feature, and he always took well. The conjurer himself stood nt the bar waiting his call, and drank spar ingly with his admirers, lie was in good spirits that night, for on the following week he was to start on a big American tour which was almost certain to result in further engage ments and assure his future. On tho stage the Sisters de Leari were singing the thir.l and last en core verse of their great success, "We Get There All the Same." At that early period they dressed as their grandmother. Thirty years later they will make up as nearlj* as possi ble like their grandchildren. Art de mands such sacrifices from its vo taries. Aleorez made his final adieus and went behind to his dressing room. The Sisters de Leari gave place to a loiv comedian, then the curtain went up on Alcorez's table and appliauces, his name blazoned in letters of gold upon a black background. At different times and in all places there are sympathetic audiences and exacting audiences. Why, and what controls them, none can say. Simply they are there and have to be allowed for. As the juggler bowed, his ex perienced eye took in the sea of faces, and lie smiled. He generally began with a very simple trick that is as easy as it looks impossible, and older than the necro mancers. He would borrow a watch, get a stranger from among the audi ence to come upon the stage and hold it, and then cause it to disappear and be found in someone elss's possession. It is very absurd when you see how it is done, but it is capable of en lless variations, and can always be made to raise a laugh, which is the conjurer's first object. To-night Aleorez borrowed the watch. Almost before he had made the request a man from tlie front row of stalls stepped upon the stage to as sist him. This alacrity was so unusu al that Aleorez looked at the man curiously, and wondered that the face seemed so familiar to liim. xY word from the audience caught the juggler's ear and he turned quickly to the stranger. "Sir, are you my friend, my accom plice, my servant? A gentleman in ihe audience distrusts me. Is it so?" "Certainly not," said the stranger. "Have yon ever assisted me before and become familiar with my ways?" continued the conjurer. There was just the suggestion of a paus1" but the "no"' was firm and em phatic, and Aleorez proceeded. Generally it was easy to reduce the assistant to the necessary state of confusion at a very early stage,but the stranger did not indulge in any of the humorisms by which the volunteers lay themselves open. Aleorez, a little puzzled, placed the watch in a hand kerchief, gave the emls to a stranger to hold, and crossed the stage. There was still an almost unfailing ruse. Few nun—those accustomed to powder least of all—can face a gun or a pistol without a tremor. This gives the conjurer a double advan tage by means of a weapon he can bring a too observant assistant into GAA'E A I.ONG, GUIiGI.lN'O SIG1I. such a condition of nervousness that he is unable to proceed, and he can, for a moment, startle a whole audi •-•nce out of watchfulness by the sud den Hash and report. Aleorez picked up a glittering revolver, raised it quickly, and drew the sight dead on the other's face. "Are you ready?" he called sharply. "Quite," unflinchingly replied the stranger. Aleorez lowered the weapon. "The danger is small," he said, with a lightness he was far from feel ing at that moment, "but I like not to t' 'ce a f~Uow creature unprepared. IJut then"—with professional face tiousneSs—"1 have killed only one man as yet." "There's luck in even numbers," said the other quietly. "Perhaps I shall be the second." Aleorez shrugged his shoulders. After all, it mattered little. He could create a diversion ^nd make the pasrt afterward. He took up the revolver again, judged the sight well above the head, and iired. Tlie effect was instantaneous. The stranger pressed his hand to his fore 1 earl, gave a long, gurgling sigh, and sink down on the boards, while from tnehall came the shrieks of women and the horrified shouts and threats of men a- the" -.rged from tlie doors and tlx- Aleorez Hi-el for a moment stupe fied. in i-11- -hort second a dozen po.' ibiliv' h:-' 1 around one dull central fact irrc riovable ruin.

He ivn, and grew gTmstly as ho saw red fresh streak on the fallen man's brow. Theatrical to the last, he faced the raging crowd and, tearing open his shirt, placed the weapon to li own heart and lired. A renewed burst of shrieks and cries greeted this, lie neither fell nor moved, but stool with uplifted hands as if mut.-?lv calling on heaven to wit less his innocence. They carried the dying man into a dressing room and placed him on a couch, while Aleorez followed, sickly with terror and agitated beyond words. The manager was there al ready. "See if there is a doctor here," he said bricily to an attendant "There is no need,"said the stranger suddenly, as he rose from tho couch and stood firm. "I was not hurt" He took a cloth, wiped his forehead clean, and showed his hand smeared with fresh red paint. There was a hushed pause, broken by the sound of Aleorez falling heav ily to the ground. From the little group of men came a word: "Coward!" "Perhaps," said ti stranger, un moved, "but listen. Once before— months ago—I stepped upon the stage to assist that man. Never mind why. I went to help him, that is enough. lie repaid me by making ine a laughing stock for all present. As it happened, it involved more than either he or I knew at the time. 1 have taken the only means I. could of humiliating him. Ask him how it feels. Now we are quits." And be fore anyone could move he passed out of the room and was gone. lie was more than quits. Alcorez's name appeared on the bills no more. His nerve was completely gone, and from that night his hand never again knew its cunning. Soiling* tho Opportunity. Lord Coleridgo sprang into emi nence as a lawyer by adroitly seiz ing a simple incident while ho was pleading the cause of a man on trial for murder. In tho courso of his long argument, a cu.ndlo in the jury box flickered and went out, leaving the court room in darkness. lie stopped speaking, and the silenca iu court for a moment was oppressive. The usher replaced the light, and Coleridge resumed his address, "tientlemen of the jury, you liavo a solemn duty, a very solemn duty to discharge. The lifo of tlie prisoner at the bar is in your hands. You can take it—by a word. You can ex tinguish that life as tho candle by your sido was extinguished a mo ment ago. But it is not in your power, it is not in tho powor of any of us—of any one in this court or out of it—to restore that life, when once taken, as that light has been re stored.'1 The tone in which the words were spoken, the cadence oi tlie voice, and tho action of the ora tor, with the inspiration of the scene and the hour, p.oduced a thrilling elTect.

The ladies have pipes with longer stems than the men, and if one of theun wishes to show a gentleman a special mark of favor, she li-ghts her pipe, takes half a whiff, hands it to him and lets him finish out tho whiff. Like "Sweet Bells Jangled Out of Tnnc," Weal nerves respond harshly antl inh.irmont ously to slight shocks, which would produce no effect upon strong ones. The shrill outcry of a child, the slamming of a door, tho rattling of a vehicle over uneven pavement and other trifling disturbances effcct weak nerves—sensitive nerves, sorely. Nervousness is largely at tributed to dyspepsia and non-assimilation of the food, a very usual concomitant of sleepless ness. Digestion and assimilation renewed by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, soon beget nerve quietude and sound repose. Tho great alter ative causes the liver and bowels to unite in co operative harmony with the stomach, whereby the general tone of the system is raised to the true standard of health. In malarial complaints, rheumatism and kidney trouble, tho Bitters produce excellent results. Married too Young-. Friend—Why do you send your hus band's clothes to a taiic r, when all they need is a button? Mrs. Maniofen—Well, the fact is, my husband married so young that he never learned how to sew on buttons.

NO-TO-BAC DOESN'T a 10 rettfEi, VjOSS1P VBTALBTY MBCQTBBWZEP Tobacco destroys manhood. Tens of thousands of men feel the darkening clouds of early decline, bccause nature, not exhausted naturally, but burdened with the taking care of a tobacco-poisoned blood, has slowly and surely succumbed to the frightful effects of tobacco upon the vita, forces, that makes strongmen IMPOTENT and DESTROYS THEIR MANHOOD. YOU ASfiC FOR PROOF, Test NO-TO-BAC under our Absolute Guarantee feel how quickly No-To-Bac kills the desire for tobacco, eliminates the nicotine, steadies the nerves, increases the weight, makes the blood pure and rich and tingling with new life and energy. Hundreds of letters from aged men testify to yeurs of tobacco slavery, and tell how No-To-Bac destroyed tobacco's power and brought back feelings long since dead, while sensations of a younger existence once more warmed the cockles of the old man's heart. Gloomy days were gone, the sunshine was brighter the warble of the little birds all spoke of love the old man made young again and—happy.

W. Mackay has with her in Europe is worth $106,000. Her hus band furnished $75,000 in weight of pure silver and then paid another 5121,000 for the work done upon it. The above is reckoned as being the most costly silver set now in use in the world. Those who have liked to think of the beautiful llowery homo on Apple dore island that Celia Thaxter loved and cared for so devoutly will bo glad to know that so long as her relatives live the garden will be attended as she attended it for years. Her grave, which is within sound of the sea, is piled with flowers and shrubs every day. Thomas Bailey Aldrich has been writing poetry since 1850, when ho produced a small volume of ballads. He was then a clerk in a New York merchant's counting-room. Ho is now at fifty-eight a better poet than ho was even in his prime, and in addition ho is one of the most smartly dressed men in Boston. Lord Rosebery says that as soon as the story of his sleeplessness got into the newspapers, after ho entered Gladstone's cabinet, ho was deluged with cures. Ono of the first, and what seemed to him the easiest, was to sip before going to bed a tumbler of hot water. He tried it, and since has had no further trouble of the kind. Iljalmar Hjortli Boyesen, the novel ist, was a friend of the late Victor Hugo and visited tho latter in the Isle of Guernsey before ho returned to Paris. Professor Bo3resen, though opposed to Hugo's theories of art, speaks enthusiastically of the great romancer's fascinating personality, and says that he was one of the most youthful old men who ever lived. Shortly before his death General Banks visited the adjutant-general's office in Boston to find out what his rank was. Ho said he remembered he was in the war he felt quite cer tain of it. He was unable to remem ber with any distinctness liow he was ranked, and he had come to the ad jutant-general to find out. He was dignified and courteous, as usual, but for sometime previous his mind had become a wreck. It isn't always the men that pray loudest at prayer meeting that people believe in most. TOBACCO SPIT ANDSMOKE YOUR LIFE AWAY Ah! what a warning to millions of America's men who are daily tearing down their naturally strong physical and nervous system. Stop a moment I Did you take to tobacco naturally Well, no And now you want It—why Because tobacco tastes good No, but to gratify a feeling bard to explain, and only satisfied by nicotine. THE USE OF TOBACCO MAKES IT SHORTER. We have not the time, much less the inclination, to preach printed sermons for the sake of making a man quit tobacco, IF HE DOESN'T KNOW THAT IT HURTS HIM. We want to talk to the man who realizes that he is TOBACCO spitting and smoking bis life away, who WANTS TO STOP AND CAN'T. Tobacco has produced a dis eased condition of the nervous system, and from time to time, you are compelled to feed the never ceasing demands, and you may have, like millions of other men, HEART, papers give an account of some eminent man falling suddenly dead at his desk from heart disease. As a rule, no middle-aged man in active business dies thus suddenly unless poisoned, and that poison, in a majority of cases, is tabacco. Meanwhile the slaughter goes on. The press and the pulpit seem muzzled, the majority being participants in the popular vice, and those who are not seem hypno tized and afraid to speak out. Nearly every day the news IU, Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov't Report AHUUiMU. Elizabeth Lord, onco a factory girl, died recently in Brooklyn, leaving 513,000 to Mrs. T.

TO PUT ON needed flesh, no mat ter how you've lost it, take fir. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery. It works wonders. By restor ing the normal ac tion of the deranged organs and functions, it builds the flesh up to a safe and healthy standard—promptly, pleasantly and nat urally. The_ weak, emaciated, thin, pale and puny are made strong, plump, round and rosy. Noth ing so effective as a strength restorer and flesh maker is known to medical sci ence this puts on healthy flesh not the fat of cod liver oil and its filthy compounds. It rouses every organ of the body to ac tivity, pirifies, enriches and vitalizes the blood so that the body feels refreshed and strengthened. If you are too thin, too weak, too nervous, it may be that the food assimilation is at fault. A certain amount of bile is necessary for the reception of the fat foods in the blood. Too often the liver holds back this element which would help digestion. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery stimulates, tones up and invig orates the liver, nourishes the blood, and the muscles, stomach and nerves get the rich blood they require. Spent Hundreds of Dollars with no Benefit. M. J. COLEMAN of Sargent St., Roxbury, Mass., writes: "After suffering from dyspepsia and constipation with un told agony for at least 18 months, I am more tliau plensed to say that after using Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Pleasant Pellets' for one month, I was entirely cured, and from that day to this I do not know, thank God, what even a slight headache is. I paid a doctor on Tremont St., Boston, in one day (for /fj| his advice only,) the sum of $io.oo with $3.50 for medicine, and derived no J- COLEMAN*, IISQ. benefit. I got more relief in one hour from your medicines, as far as my stomach was conccrned, than from all the other medicine I used. If any person who reads this is suffering from dyspepsia or constipation and will use your medicine as I have done, he will never reprret it." N. ai. —1103 No. 43.
