Last Monday municipal elections was held in every city and incorporated town in Iowa, to select men to govern the city or town for the next two years. There were the usual republican victories, except in few instances where local interest entered into the contest. The only great surprises were in Council Bluffs and Sioux City which elected a democrat mayor and democratic council, of course local interest entered in these contests. In our city the republicans won a clean sweep by about two or three thousands plurality, except the police judge, Mr. Tris, who was defeated by Mr. Mathis a democrat, by about 2,000 majority, which met our approval. For the BYSTANDER owed Mr. Tris nothing, neither did the republican party; for if the republican party was made up or controlled by such narrow minded, prejudiced men as Mr. Tris we would sever our connection with it. Mr. Tris refused to marry a white woman and colored man, giving as his reason that he did not think it right. While we do not tolerate the intermarriage of the two races, yet we do not want any laws against it, and as there is no law against it in Iowa we want the public officers to perform their sworn duty and fulfill their office as required by law. The successful officers are as follows: Mayor, George Mattern; city auditor. John Lucas; city treasurer, Harry Gross; city attorney, W. H. Bremner; city engineer, C. W. Budw; alderman West Des Moines, L. C. Sutherland; East Side, F. W. Whitney; first ward, John Myrely; second Ward, A. L. Smith; third ward, Ed Higgins; fourth ward, Eugene Van Dyke; fifth ward, C. H. Christy; sixth ward, Emil Schaub; seventh ward, John Fairley. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON'S CRITICS. There has been many newspapers published by our own race criticising Booker Washington's industrial ideas, and even many of the Methodist ministers have preached sermons denouncing Mr. Washington's theory. We think those newspapers and ministers are unjustly denouncing Mr. Washington. They misrepresent him and his theory. In another article we print an editorial from Geo. E. Roberts, commissioner of the U. S. mint. In his editorial he gives the true Booker T. Washington idea. Mr. Washington has never uttered publicly or maintained that industrial education was the only panacea for our race and they should receive no higher education. In fact his own acts negative that representation, in as much as he is sending his two children to the higher institutions of learning, but only after they had good foundation and industrial training. Than if able strive higher. Mr. Washington has always been a true friend to his race—simply because he does not condemn the white race in each speech for their cruel treatment, does not necessarily place him against the race. In fact it is best often not to continually howl about conditions, but to try ourselves to make conditions better by our own example. What the race needs is more hard honest work and labor, and less speeches or condemning resolutions, results is what will tell. Those who are condemning Mr. Washington are men we fear who have never made a success of their own business or their ideas and are simply jealous of Mr. Washington's extreme popularity and their littleness. In brief Mr. Washington's ideas and plans are in practice and are productive of much good. His great institution is sufficient proof of his plans being successful. Let us all do more hard good work like him for the uplifting and upbuilding of our race, and do less criticizing and denouncing one another. WASHINGTON ITEMS.

Too much credit cannot be given the ladies for the valuable assistance they have given to the different branches of the church. Prof. Sorrugs, president of the Western college at Macon, Mo., delivered an address on the race problem at the Baptist church last Thursday night. Those who heard him were indeed fortunate. Prof. Sorrugs is a man of unusual intellectual ability and holds the attention of his audience from start to finish. A liberal offering was given to assist the college. The people of Mt. Pleasant quite agree with Prof. Sorrugs in that, the elevation of the Negro depends upon his education in all branches. The young people of the A. M. E. church are preparing to give a drama attitled "A Strange Marriage," April 7. The offer promises to be the most interesting ever put forth by them.

The cantata entitled Belshazzar's Feast, or the fall of Babylon, was a decid of success through Mrs. Jeff Thompson's patient teaching, and indeed the young people of Rock Island and Moline are to be congratulated on their effort to make it a success.

It was trequeted by the members of St. Paul's A. M.

Washington, today unquestionably the most successful race. He made an address from the pulpit of the African M. E. church, which is one of the largest audience rooms in this city, and thousands were unable to obtain admission. Commissoir de l'Académie board which answers for a city council in Washington, delivered an address of welcome, Congressman Watson of Indiana, one of the eloquent young men of the house, made a speech, and did Marine band, which plays for all White house functions, furnished the music of the occasion. It was a notable affair to be in honor of a colored man, born a slave, of unknown parental lineage, few men of the proudest lineage deserve to be honored as much as he. There is nothing in Dr. Washington's appearance to distinguish him from thousands of other negroes of the mulatto type. He is of medium stature, and his features are not large, but of rather the "pug" or buildup, but not tentious, but impressive and interesting because he is direct and is saying something all the time. There is none of the alrs or imaginary or oratorical style which frequently marks the efforts of the negro speakers who are heard in political conventions. Washington is plain business all the time. He is not a deliver, and he goes straight to the point without any striving for effort or any thoughts about the figure he is making. He does not impress one as being a genius, as a resolute, disciplined, educated, well balanced man. There are no negro characteristics peculiarities like provincial customs, disappear when men reach a given level of enlightenment. Mr. Washington began his school at Tuskegee about twenty years ago, alone and unaided. He has now over fifteen hundred students in it. Every month, he has to maintain it is now about $600 per day and upon him is the responsibility of providing the money. In these twenty years Mr. Washington has taken over in property an endowment now belonging to the school, of owner $1,800,000. He has taken as his field of work, in which to concentrate his energies, the industrial education of the colored people. He does not say that the colored people should not aspire to all the culture that the white race geeks, the blacks, and the whites need of the colored race is to be independent industrially and financially. He does not say that the colored people should relinquish any of their political agitation. No class of people, he says, who are dependent financially, who live in other men's houses and don't pay the rent when it is due, and other men's bread and them for it can be important politically. He told an interesting story of meeting the pastor of a colored church in one of the large cities of the country, who took exception to the emphasis Washington lays upon industrial education, the pastor took Mr. Washington to see his church, a handsome edifice which had cost $25,000, of all it raised by the congregation. Mr. Washington admired the church and asked who the pastor was. He asked the name of a well known firm of white architects. He asked who was the contractor and it proved to have been an Irishman; he asked who made the brick and that proved to have been a German firm; he asked who plastered the walls. He asked who to have been white men; the frescoing was done by italians, the electric wiring was done by white electricians, and so on throughout the entire expenditure of $25,000. "Now," said Mr. Washington, "we have collected $25,000 from washerwomen, draymen, porters and other hardworking men and women of low wages and paid every dollar of it out to high priced white men, and yet you think too much emphasis is put on the work of our people to do all these things." By such plain, effective reasoning and illustration as this, Booker Washington inspires his hearers. He is doomed to people. It takes more than one speech to rejuvenate the average, easygoing darkey, even though he drinks it in as eagerly and becomes as enthusiastic as this audience did, but those people are not as eager. He uttered struck home and the fact that they appreciated it and were even momentarily inspired by it gives confidence that though the progress may be slow it is inevitable. A race that has been held by a character as Booker Washington will eventually find its way up to their level. Its capacity is demonstrated.

Many jewels require an occasional sleep, so to speak, in order to retain their brilliance. Diamonds, rubles and sapphires are among the number. They should be put away in total darkness every now and then. The usual velvet or satinized cases are the correct receptacles. It is best to wear jewels' tissue paper, then pack in and lay in airlight compartments.

Among the many novel suggestions made for the revival of recruiting for the British army is one that the soldier stay in barracks only a part of the year—say two months, and the rest of the time he reciepe where he lives. He must be prepared every day, like any ordinary mechanic or laborer; also that when he had done his work for the day he be allowed to wear civilian clothes, just as police do.

Montalge had an aversion for Friday, and while he would not sit down to a table with thirteen persons. Phosphorus in Fish The idea that fish is particularly useful as brain food, because it contains phosphorus, probably has its origin, according to the Lancet, in the phosphorescence of fish in the dark. In the case of the fish, phosphorus than do ordinary meat foods. Its easy digestibility, however, makes it useful for brain workers. Religion In Japan. The Japanese constitution guarantees absolute freedom of religious belief, and the gospel of Christ is preached from one end o' the empire to the other. In Japan there are members of Christian churches who command per battleships, who sit in her cabinets, and who preside over her parliament. **First Almanacs.** The first almanac was published in 1472 by Martin Ilikus at Buda, Poland, and in 1473 almanacs were compiled nearly in their present form by John Muller, otherwise Regimontanus, a printer at Nuremburg.

James has two apples and Henry has three, and they agree to divide so that each will have an even number. How do they do it?

The Berlin Telegabt resents the statement made by an American commercial journal that baggling is still the custom in German stores. So far as Berlin is concerned, it says, that there is scarcely a respectable store in the city which has not fixed prices. Science on Sleep. "The best way to regulate sleep," says a scientific authority, "is to go to bed when sleepy, and arise when the sleepy feeling passes." Yet, if the average man tried to regulate his sleeping on such lines he'd probably lose his job. Shell Fish Carry Typhoid.

City Merchant Complaints of the Brevalence of Disloanesty "The old saying that nothing is too small to steal is exemplified in our business," said a manufacturer of custom-made clothing. "Our thread gives us lots of trouble. We have to keep a watchful eye upon it. The case in which it is kept is under the supervision of our most trusted employee. If he chose to be dishonest he could rob us of $5,000 a year and we would be none the wiser. We would be more careful when we using more thread than usual, but the excess might be attributed to other causes. "We have to check out every spool we give to our tailors. Even at this we are in danger of having a cheaper grade substituted. The difference in the price of the spools may be only one or two cents, but it offers a temptation if the scheme can be worked on a large scale. Some years ago we were forced to the conclusion that a 'fence' was being operated to dispose of stolen thread. The spools were sold by peddlers from house to house. This suspicion caused large establishments to have each spool stamped with dyes which cut into the fence. A spool was stolen from such and such a shop, the name of which was stamped on the spool."

"I sometimes think that if I had my way in the matter I would make it a law that women should not have bank books," said the tired-looking cashier. "Some of their mistakes would put a sensible schoolboy to shame. Among the checks handed in to me to-day was one for quite a large amount which the woman who drew it out had signed 'Your loving Carrie.'" How the Retort Came. H. T. Eve, the Liberal candidate for parliament in Devonshire, England, has a pretty and a very ready wit. Some short time ago he was cross-examining a chemical expert, and asking how a certain thing should be described, the expert answered "as an isolated radical." Quick as lightning came the response from Mr. Eve: "Then I suppose the symbol is H. C. B." (Henry Campbell-Bannerman). Odd Things About Thibet Tibet is no temptation to the gretest of nations. Save for a little patch in the south and east, it is a barren land. Gold in insignificant quantities is washed down in the sands of the rivers. This, the lamas teach, is the flower of which the buried nuggets are made. The lamas would "diminish the vitalizing fluids of the earth," so mining is not allowed. How the Chinese Beat Time. A Chinese child is considered a year old at its birth, and age is reckoned not from its birthdays, but from its New Year's days. If it is fortunate enough to be born on Feb. 1, the day before the Chinese New Year's day, it is said to be two years old when it is two days old. It is one year old when born, and another year is added on its first New Year's day. Comet Loses Tail. In the accident to Borrelles's comet a section of the head broke from the tail and traveled 'away at the rate of twenty-nine miles a year in a retrograde direction. The comet came out from the head as a luminous stream, which remained visible for hours after its supply from the head had ceased. Growing Muskmelons Muskelions can be given a better flavor if grown in frames than in the open.

In Germany sword-making from iron achieved fame, even the wildest of the German tribes, the Vandals, whose success and dominion in Gaul, Spain and France, was the result of the invention, and the shape of the implement used by them was maintained throughout the middle ages.
