You should vote the straight republican ticket. Can an honest colored man vote for a democrat congressman? Those who love liberty will vote the straight republican ticket. We stuffed the ballot boxes, we shot them, we have burned them at the stake and we are not ashame of it, so says "Pitchfork" Tillman, one of the leaders of the party of Boies, Reese and Wade. No honest Afro-American believes that a democrat congressman every did anything in congress for his race. The Black Man's Fate. An English Lutheran Minister in Muscatine, Ia., Advances a Strange Theory Regarding the Negro Problem. Below we give a statement from the Evening Times-Republican, Marshall-town which occurred in the above mention paper Oct. 25, and which also weat through the Associated Press dispatches: "Muscatine, Oct. 25. — A sensation was created here by Rev. J. W. Murphy of the Engish Lutheran church, who said in a lecture on the race problem that the study of the sociological condition of the Negro to-day proves that the Negro is the most populous country, later leap into burkistan and finally become extinct. He points out that before the war the Negro was trustworthy and the honor of any woman of the south was safe without the protection of white men. Today a white woman scarcely dares to venture forth alone. Mr. Murphy says that not only the Negro is becoming degraded morally in the south, but also adversely. Physicians testify that he is more susceptible to disease than a few years ago and especially in plumery troubles. Pneumonia is almost always fatal. The position taken by Mr. Murphy is that in time the progressive class of blacks will tire of the intolerability of this country and return to their former affection, to teach their fellow blacks, while the ones left in this country will thus rapidly become extinct. We were indeed surprised to read that the above statements have been uttered by a supposed intelligent divine and more especially to be uttered 1870 the Sixth district, who is a candi- did the men who wore the blue in of the colored man and deserves given the miners all the law that motors of the Sixth district see to it returned by an increased majority. by an English Lutheran. Either this wise prophet is living in gross ignorance about the real condition intellectually or sociologically or he is so grossly blinded with his narrow prejudices against the race that he wont take statistics or facts as they really are. This divine of German extraction must have forgotten the long hard struggles that his ancestors, the Gauls or Celts, had during the middle age. He has forgotten how ancient Gauls which the Netherlands and Western Germany, which was conquered and annexed to the Roman Empire by Julius Caesar, 51 years before the christian era, and its subjects made slaves and some of them receiving the appellation of Franks or Freeman, from their union to resist the dominion of the Romans. Supposing that the death of the age some time assumed prophet had arose and lectured on the German problem and declared that they were unfit for civilization and was deteriorating for civilization. That prophet would be laughed to shame, and now after our race is only removed from slavery one generation, that yours has been removed perhaps one hundred generations from its slavery. Even today the intelligent is laughing at your utterances. You say that the honor of the white women of the south are not safe without protection. Such statements are not true, for any decent self respecting white woman is respected and protected as a queen, but on the contrary Rev. Murphy, how about the honor of the colored women of the south? Their virtue and honor is in many cases not safe even with protection among the white men of the south. You must remember that the white newspapers does not publish the assaults of white men, or (brutes as you might call them) upon our inocent and defenseless women. Amalgamation proves this. Then again Ms. Murphy, all the alleged crimes and acts laid at our doors are not true, and could be proven so if proper investigation was allowed. And now about physical degration or dying with plumony troubles. Don't worry about that for every one that dies of the pneumonia --- 6 The above is a true likeness of Hon. B. F. Corroll of Bloomfield. Iowa, republican candidate for state auditor. He is a very able, strong young man, in the prime of life, honest and highly respected where known; was a member of the Iowa State Senate where he made a valuable member and a hard worker. He is a friend of the colored race. in the south today, there are ten black babies born in St. Louis, Mo., alone so that method will not rid America of her sable sons, who have bled, died and freely offered their blood to appease the British wrath and cement our Union. They have made the white people of the south rich with their labor and toll for 340 years, getting nothing but a piece of bacon and lots of hell. They have made it possible that you foreigners can come across and reap the benefits of a prosperous nation. We did not come to America on our own accord neither are we going away, but God being our helper we will stay here and fight it out on this line. Urge your neighbor to vote against anyone who belongs to the party that Tillman does. Next Tuesday is the day for the voter to hit Tillman and his party a knock out blow.

L, BROWN, G. M. LILLY WHITE PARTY DENOUNCED. President Roosevelt would not for a single moment think of tolerating the action of some of the white republicans in the south. Below we publish a letter written by Gen. James P. Clarkson, formerly of Iowa but now of New York, who is one of the best friends the race has: Gen. Clarkson, who became familiar with the Negro vote of the south during his management of political affairs for president Harrison, was present some time ago when the president was called upon by the delegation of prominent colored ministers. He took part in that conference, and remained after the callers had gone, to discuss some things with the president and Postmaster-General Payne. Since that time Mr. Clarkson has been writing some letters. One of them is as follows: New York, Oct. 13.—My dear Parson: I am glad to have your letter. I need no thanks for what I did in opposing the "Jim Crow" party in Alabama and other southern states. No self-respecting republican can tolerate any such attempted departure from the cardinal doctrine of the party. The president has no sympathy with it, and you may assure all your friends and your face that he is as sound on the doctrine of human rights and manhood suffrage as I am. I shall be glad to hear from you whenever you have anything to communicate. Sincerely yours; "JAMES S. CLARKSON." Mr. Clarkson's letter was addressed to a prominent Negro politician in North Carolina, and was read on Friday night at a mass meeting of Negroes at Raleigh, called for the purpose of protesting against the exclusion of Negroes from the recent republican state convention. The movement for the exclusion of the Negro from republican party affairs originated with Senator Pritchard, and was thought at the time to have had the approval of President Roosevelt. In view of the president's alleged statements to a delegation of Negroes who recently called upon him, and in view of Mr. Clarkson's letter, it is felt by republicans here that much of Senator Pritchard's work, upon which he had built high hopes of republican ascendency in North Carolina, had been undone. White men who had begun to openly or secretly affiliate with the republicans in the state are showing of Hon. B. F. Corroll of Bloomfield. State auditor. He is a very able, of life, honest and highly respected of the Iowa State Senate where he worked worker. He is a friend of the evidences of weakening because of the revelations of Gen. Clarkson and the alleged utterances of the president. The belief strongly prevailed in North Carolina that Senator Pritchard had acted throughout the with the full approval of the president, or at least without the disapproval of the chief executive. M. B. Hon. W. B. Martin, Secretary of State, who is a candidate for his second term. He is faithful, deserving, honest, hard working and painstaking man. He was a member of the Iowa State Legislature and made a good record. The republican who fails to vote fails to do his duty. The greatest thing done by the democratic party since the civil war was the moving out of Kelley and Coxie's army. Every voter should remember that every northern democrat in Congress votes with those who are trying to disfranchise the Negro. The success of the republican party this fall means the assurance of republican principles and policies. It means protection to American labor, it means sound money, it means the extension of American commerce and it means equal rights to all. Subscribe for Bystander. ```markdown ``` No. 21.

The first attempt was unsuccess- ful, owing to the fact that a might watch who sleeps in the rear of the dank awakened, and, getting up, struck ‘a light, scaring tne men from the build. ing. ‘The watch looked about and saw no one and decided that he had deen unnecessarily alarmed. ‘The rob- bers went trom the Zachary bank about 1:30 a. m., to the State bank of Prairie City, about a block away, and forced open the front door with a crowbar. In front of the bank while they were at work upon the door the night watchman, Alex Elskin, came upon the men and asked them what they were trying to do, He was con- fronted with three loaded. revolvers and told to keep mum on penalty of Ris life. “Five shots were fired to frighten the night watchman and the robbers broke open the front door of Little & GNI's hardware store and Fused the marshal Into the bulldige: where he was kept under guard until after the robbery bad been commit- ted. Dr. SB. Gidford, a dentist, and Dr. W. P. McConahey, a practicing physician, who room ‘ina bullding across tho street from the bank, were awakened by the shooting and rushed to the windows to see what was the matter. Dr. Gidford started to shout an alarm, but was quickly silenced. A loaded 44:caliber Colt was presented to his face and he was told that his life was Worth much less than "30 cents” if he uttered a cry. While the rob- ery of the bank was being committed the nig.t watch stood powerless be hind the barred door of the hardware stoor, and the doctors were required to Keep thelr place in thelr rooms under penalty of being riddled with bullets.” No one else knew of the rob- bers until after the men had made their escape toward the southwest. It was 1:80 this morning when ‘the altercation occurred between Night Watch Eiskin and the robbers. For three hours the men worked at the safe In the State Bank of Prairie City. Bight explosions were distinctly heard by the three men who were held under guard. Shortly after 4 o'clock this morning the robbers succeeded in get- ting into the bank safe and looting it of every dollar In cach. The sum total of the haul is $3,500, of which $500 was fn silver and she balance im currency and gold. Not a dollar was left in the safe except the pennies and nick els. ‘There is absolutely no clue to the Identity of the robbers. The impres- sion prevails here that the deed was committ~d by Missourians, who rode across ihe owa line and had been hiding -or severe! days in the brush southwest of this city along the Des Moines river. The robbers took a couthwestera direction from this city. Neither the night watch nor the physi: claus who were held under guard were able to give a description this morning of the men who had committed the crime. ‘There were at least four men and Dr. Gldford is of the opinion that there were five. Two men remained on the outside to guard the prisoners, While the other two or three men worked on the safe in the bank. The safe Is valued by the officials of the bank at $150 and 36 a total wreck.

Des Moines, Oct. 30.—Miss Daisy Deighton’ of Shenandoah, who had charge of the qual suffrige lobby last winter, in the state convention of equal Buffragists here yesterday, ascribed the defeat of the resolution for the sub- mission of the question \o Speaker Eeton. She charged that he packed the house committee agatust suffrage. She declared that Representative Sweet of Bremer couny bad told her, during the session, that he had come to Det Moines for the express and avowed intention of making a record Against, woman suffrage in order to “square” himself with his coustituents, and that he proposed doing it. Yet he was made chairman of the house com: mittee on constitutional amendments, in which Miss Deighton deciared the suffragists did not have a fair hearing. She referred to the fact that the propo- sition easily passed the senate and sald that it would have gone through the house, also, if the speaker had not packed the committee azainst It. ‘Miss Deighton, out of her experience. said that she thought the idea of the president, Mrs. Adelaide Ballard of Hull, that a man be employed to take charge of the Work in future legisla: tures, an excellent one. But she doubted if a man could be found who would be willing to do the work on @ Salary, and did not belleve one could be found who Would do it for the love of the thing. BEATEN UNCONSCIOUS.

When I had taken the first half bottle, I felt a vast improvement, and have now taken ten bottles with the result that I feel as a new woman.

Generally stated, the Cuban objections are based on the belief that the United States has demanded undue concessions in the remission of dues on all products entering Cuba, ranging all the way from 10 to 80 per cent, in return for a 20 per cent cut on Cuban sugar and tobacco coming into the United States. As the difference is one strictly of figures and not of principle, it is the opinion at the state department that it can be settled amicably. If not, and the Cuban government insists on terms that the state department cannot grant, the two sides will simply comply with the withdrawal any trade treaty of this kind. Cuba will undoubtedly be the principal sufferer it is believed that she will be the first to make another advance toward a treaty. There has been an important change in the program respecting the whole fabric of Cuban treaties. It had been originally intended to perfect a reciprocity treaty before undertaking to deal with other relations that must be defined by treaty. As it is now seen that the subject of reciprocity is one that will require considerable time for its disposition, the government here is about to undertake negotiations with other relations, including extradition treaty, which is very much needed, inasmuch as Cuba threatens to become a sink-hole for American criminals. All the navy is pressing for the coalating stations promised under the terms of the Platt amendment, and the near approach of Culebran maneuvers have stimulated the desire as it has been shown that such stations would be of great strategic value during the movements. Therefore the Cuban government will be at the ready to initiate an extradition action on this point. It is not expected that this can be done without some friction, because there has been a growing disinclination on the part of the Cubans to the idea of surrendering coalating stations to the United States. Proper sites for coalating stations were selected tentatively several months ago by Admiral Bradford of the ordinance bureau, who is directly in charge of naval coalating stations, but of the four points selected, one. Havana harbor, has been the most important naval sensibility. It is not likely that further sacrifices of that kind will be made, and the other three points, namely Nipe, on the north coast, and Clenfugo and Guantanamo, on the south coast of the island, will be chosen as permanent locations. COLOMBIA AND THE CANAL. Washington, Oct. 28.—The long expected response of the Colombian government to the proposition made by the state department for the negotiation of a canal treaty on the lines of the Spooner act has reached Washington and was presented to the state department yesterday. It is known that it is not altogether an unqualified acceptance of the state's proposition. It is friendly and dignified in tone, bu. opens up new topics for argument. For one thing, the Colombian government now is entirely dissatisfied with the one and a half years pay be made to it. This is $7,000,000. Colombia wants at least $10,000,000. Moreover, the original proposal looked to a wait of fourteen years before beginning the payment of annual rental, the amount of which was to be then fixed by mutual agreement. Colombia now asks the United States to agree to a high priority pay of $800,000. The Colombian government clings to its contention that it has no constitutional authority to alienate any Colombian territory and reiterates that the best it can do to meet the language of the Spooner act, which looks to the perpetual control by the United States over the canal strap, is to find a satisfactory compensation that the same shall be renewable by the United States at the expiration of the first century. AUTOMOBILIST SENT TO JAIL. He Caused the Injury to Twenty-two Persons. New York, Oct. 31.—Six months’ imprisonment in the county penitentiary was the sentence pronounced yesterday by City Judge Kellog, of Yonkers, upon W. B. Raymond, an automobilist, who was arrested after his machine had been in a collision with a trolley car on Sunday last. The accident caused injuries to twenty-two persons, who were on the car, the occupants of the car, and the occupant of H. Nagle, the motorman of the trolley car, testified at the trial that the automobile crossed the track in front of the car three times within a short distance. Raymond said that he had crossed the track, and said that he had done so in order to afford those with him a better view of the river. He acknowledged that on crossing the track he had failed to back away from the car, and coaching. The car came in contact with the rear of the machine and turned it over on its side. Judge Kellog, in sentencing Raymond, said he was convinced that the automobilist had been negligent and that he should be punished.

Why Syrup of Figs the best family laxative C. E. Boles, Dealer In Grain and Feed; Address, 505 South Water Street, Akron, Ohio—Cured in 1896. Mr. Botes says: "Ever since the Civil War I have had attacks of kidney and bladder trouble, decidedly worse during the last two or three years. Although I consulted physicians, some of whom told me I was verging on Bright's disease, and I was continually using standard remedies, the excruciating aching just across the kidneys, which radiated to the shoulder blades still existed. As might be expected, when my kidneys were in a disturbed condition there was a distressing and inconvenient difficulty with the action of the kidney secretions. A box of Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at Lamparter & Co.'s drug store, brought such a decided change within a week that I continued the treatment. The last attack, and it was particularly aggravated, disappeared." Cure Confirmed Four Years After. Four years later Mr. Boles says: in the spring of 1896 I made a public statement of my experience with Doan's Kidney Pills. This remedy cured me of terrible aching in the kidneys, in the small of my back, in the muscles of the shoulder blades, and in the limbs. During the years that have gone by I can consciently say there have been no recurrences of my old trouble. My confidence in Doan's Kidney Pills is stronger than ever, not only from my personal experience, but from the experience of many others in Akron, which have come to my notice." A FREE TRIAL of this great Kidney medicine which cured Mr. Boles will be mailed on application to any part of the United States. Address Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

A story is told of the late Professor Snell, of Amurstur College, which relates how he once asked for a definition of the solar corona from a member of his class in astronomy. The young man, after a good deal of hesitation, and a dread consciousness of impending failure, plunged desperately into the statement that he did know what the professor had written. The professor turned to his class with a tragic gesture, "What an incalculable loss to science!" he explained with emotion; that the only man who ever knew what the sun's corona is has forgotten!" Mrs. Scott Siddons was once playing Juliet at the London Haymarket Theatre, when an amusing unrehearsed incident occurred in the last act. Paris was duly slain and Juliet lay stretched upon her bier. Just then some of the scenery caught alight somehow, but some of the men from Paris were with commable presence of mind, did not move an oylife, but the corpse of Paris was nervous. He raised himself to a sitting posture, then got upon his feet and fled from the stage. The danger being removed, his courage returned, and the audience was afforded a crawling along the stage from the wings to take up the proper position for the final curtain. In an article of reminiscences, Mary Stuart Boyd says that the late Bret Harte never obtruded his personality. He also had a dread of people regarding him for his work only, not for himself. "Why didn't you tell me it was Bret Harte who sat next to me at dinner last night?" wailed one of society's smartest young matrons, in a note to her hostest, the morning after a large dinner party; "I have always longed to meet him, and I would have been so different had I only known who my neighbor was." "Now why can't a woman realize that this sort of thing is insulting?" queried the author, to whom the hostess had forwarded a message, and talked with me, and found me uninterested as a man, how could she expect to find me interesting because I was an author?"

CAPITOL BUILDING SALEM, OREGON. A Letter From the Executive Officer of Or Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantiso to the Pacific. Letters of congratulation and commendation testifying to the merits of Pe-ru-na as a catarrh remedy are pouring in from every State in the Union. Dr. Hartman is receiving hundreds of such letters daily. All classes write these letters, from the highest to the lowest. The outdoor laborer, the indoor artisan, the clerk, the editor, the statesman, the preacher—all agree that Pe-ru-na is the catarrh remnant of the stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their greatest enemy, are especially enthusiastic in their praise and testimony. Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only absolute safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of its victims. Pe-ru-na only curses the body out. Prevents.

Dear Sirs—I have had occasion to use your Pe-r-u-na medicine in my family for colds, and it proved to be an excellent remedy. I have not had occasion to use it for other ailments. Yours very truly, W. M. Lord. It will be noticed that the Governor says he has not had occasion to use Pe-r-u-na; other ailments begin with cold. Using Pe-r-u-na to promptly cure colds, he protects his family against other ailments. This is exactly what every other family in the United States should do. Keep Pe-r-u-na in the house.

Address all communications for these colon ns to the department address. Mrs. Helena Downey, President of the Iowa State Federation, 711 Bashaw street, Ot umwa, Iowa. This department will not be a satisfactory unless all clubs respond to the request for club calendars and items of interest pertaining to their club work. I shall give due attention to all clubs reporting to me. I believe this work will be beneficial to the members of the various clubs, as it permits of topical ideas of club work, thereby tending to enlarge the field of thought of those who follow the outline of the work of the different clubs. I regret to say I have heard nothing from a number of prominent clubs this month. The reputation and sometimes blame women get in both churches and clubs for "running things," is the natural result of the inactivity of the majority of the members. They complacently sit back on the cushions, while the animated ones are doing the work. This is unfortunate, for club work is intended for individual development. The easy going and in many cases, the backward ones need to be brought to the front. Otherwise the club serves to exploit only a few clever ones—a sort of a stock company, as it were, with a regular set of actors. On the other hand, if every member had something to do she would not only serve the club but serve herself. Real interest in a thing only comes by doing something for it. Doubtless every woman accepts club membership with good intentions, but soon finds herself pushed to the wall by the self-chosen few. But good intentions don't amount to much unless put into execution. There is a very-warm place you know, said to be paved with good intentions. OTTUMWA. With the early coming of the tints of the autumn leaves, there is always a rustle in the leaves of the club calendar, even though they are not of a russet tint. A number of clubs beg a active work this month and as a consequence club life is all aglow and on the alert. The Ida Wells club weekly meetings are of the most interesting character. Negro History is the study for the winter. The Benevolent club opened the season Oct. 15. Domestic Science is their study for the winter. Their first meeting partook of a social nature and no special program was given except the address of the president Mrs. M. A. Strother on "Household Economics." As was expected Mrs. Strother made the happiest kind of impression as a speaker. Her ease of manner and the unfaltering precision with which she finds just the word she needs are remarkable. Then her charmingly sweet air of genuine interest in her audience and her contagious enthusiasm are most attractive. Her address was full of deen thought. "It itse to me" said Mrs. Strother, "we can never teach our girls and women, too much of the necessity of the knowledge needed in the home. Our women are familiar with almost every art, except the art of fright living. It is time that we who have charge of homes realize that we are to blame for many of our most dreaded diseases by our ignorance of a few simple sanitary laws and the proper preparation of healthful foods. What must be first last and always are proper foods properly cooked." The subject for the next meeting of this club is "Proper food for school children." This club has applied for admission in the State Federation. The Art club held a pleasant and profitabl meeting Oct. 21. Roll call was answered by each member with a current event. An interesting paper on the "Effects of the club in the home" was read by Mrs. Harry Owens. Miss Mattie Jates sang a solo accompanied by Mrs. Downey. The business of the meeting was short, the principle topic being to arrange to take up lace work which will be taught by Mrs. H. Owens. A paper will be read at the next meeting, subject "Embroidery as an art" by Mrs. Dodd. This club will also become a member e 'the State Federation. DAVENPORT The club women of Davenport realizing the strength and help to be derived from union, have decided to organize a city federation and there was a meeting held recently for that purpose, largely attended by representatives from the Silver Autumn Leaf, Violet, Toussaint L'Ouverture and Young Ladies Clubs, when a permanent organization was effected. The originator of the organization was Mrs. Ruth Richardson. The business of the meeting was the adoption as the Constitution on the By Laws. KEOKUK. The F. E. H. club is doing good and efficient work along the line of self culture. Their study for the winter is Civil government. A committee has been appointed on charitable work. MUSCATINE.

W. Cooper, who has held a position in a hotel in Morrison, Ill., for several months past, has returned to Clinton and taken a position in Mat. W. Nelson's barber shop, for whom he worked prior to his leaving this city. Rev. and Mrs. Russell were the victims of a surprise at their home Saturday evening by the members and friend of the Second of Odd Fellows instructed a class in the degrees of the order last Tuesday night. A pleasant time is reported by those present. Washington Dozier has returned home from a trip in Chicago. Rumor has it that he is looking after something more than business interests. A reception will be tendered Rev. Russell and family on November 15th by the members of his congregation. The event is looked forward to with interest. Mrs. Frank Cooper and daughter are visiting friends in Chicago. While there are no special meetings being held at the Second Baptist church, they are replying in an evangelist in the person of their pastor, who labored along that line for over eight years. The church is spiritually alive. On the 19th inst. at the morning service Mrs. Geo. Martin was converted and in the evening Mr. Bud Helm asked to be reinstated in the church, from which he had so long absented himself. The Ladies' society will give a social one night next week. An effort is on foot to organize a chorus choir of twenty voices for Bethel church on the third day of this week. The ladies of the Harmony club of Bethel church met Wednesday afternoon in business session. The stewardess entertainment Wednesday evening of this week is expected to be a pleasant affair.

E. church, will be in our city Sunday to hold his quarterly meeting. Elder Mrs. J. W. Norris entertained at dinner Sunday Rev. E. G. Jackson and Miss F. Meredith. The Ladies' Improvement society met with Mrs. R. H. Early last Thursday afternoon. The sad news was received in our city last Wednesday of the death of Mr. J. W. Taylor, which occurred at Clarinda. He has been in the state hospital for the insane for the past year. He once served as deputy sheriff under W. C. Davenport and everybody liked him for his nice mammans, but he was not a good father. He leaves a brother, sister, wife and two little girls, France and Irene, to mourn him. They have our deepest sympathy in their hours of bereavement. His remains arrived here Wednesday evening. The funeral service was held at the A. M. E. church Thursday afternoon. Rev. E. G. Jackson officiated. The interment was in Floyd cemetery. The Old Maids' convention, under the management of Mrs. Etta Grant, was a grand success, and all who had been there were very highly. The ladies have been requested to repeat it over again in the near future. Mr. Albert Williams, who has been so seriously ill for the past two weeks, we are glad to say, is much improved. The entertainment given by Rev J. W. Jeffries and others at the Mission Monday night was a good success both socially and financially.
