A BIRTHDAY SURPRISE PARTY.

It is"leiry':ai£uiBual of a family can plan and arrange a party for another member of the same family without their knowledge, espe­cially on one'B birthday, yet the good wife of Mr. B. N. Hyde, assisted by her children, planned a birthday sur­prise party on her husband last Fri­day evening, October 8. Mrs. Hyde had Invited about thirty gentlemen friends of Mr. Hyde's to their home at 8 o'clock. Nearly all complied with their presence. Then Mrs. Hyde tele­phoned her husband that there was a man -at the house - waiting' for him to come up and figure on a big carpet Job. He left his down town place- of

Fdf Disturbing BOoker WVsl^ initon's Meeting.

Last week Messrs. Henry M« Trqtter, editor of The .Boston Guardian, Granville Martin and Bernard Martin, after a hotly contested trial, the latter was acquited but the jury found the other two men guilty of disturb-ing or assisting in disturbing a meeting last July,1 in which Book­er T. Washington was addressing. While we, living at this distance, do not know the real facts, neith­er do we wish to enter either side, but the disturbance was to be much regreeted, yet we think in a free country like ours any man has a right to ask questions or even disagree and express his thoughts without censure. The questions that they wished to ask that night are as follows: So read them and judge for yourself.

1. In your letter to Montgomery Ad­vertiser Nov. 21 you said: "Bvery re­vised constitution throughout the southern states has put a prengiunuup-intelligence, ownership of property, thrift and character." Did you not thereby indorse the disfranchisement ot onr-Taee?

8. In your spceeh tefore the Cen­tury club here in, March you said: "Those are most truly free who have passed the most discipline." Are you not actually upholding oppressing our race as a good .thing for us, advocating peonage?;. ^ • * t Again; you say: "Black men mast

distinguish between the freedom that ia forced and the freedom that is the result of struggle and sel-saerifict." DJ yon mean that the Negro- should expect less from his freedom than the white man from bis? 4. When you said: "It was not ao

important whether the Negro was . in the interior -car as whether there was in that ear a superior man not a beast,** didyou not minimize the outrage of the insaUlHjr Jim-crow ear discrimi­nation *nd justify it by -the ^bestial­ity" of the Negro. 1 * "

5. in an interview with the Wash­ington Post, iJnne 25, aa to whether the Negro should insist on his ballot, you are quoted as saying: "As is well known, I held that no people in the sameieonomic and educational condi­tion as the masses of the black peo­ple of the south should make politics a matter of the first importance in connection jnrilh their development." Do you not know that the ballot is the only self-protection for any class of people in this counUy?

6. In view of the fact that you are understood to be unwilling to insist upon the Negro having his every right (both civic and political), would it not be a calamity at this Juncture to make you ortr leader? :•'; •'

7. Don*t you know you would help the race more by exposing the new form of slavery just outside the gates of Tuskegee than by preaching sub­mission.

8.- Can a man make a successful ekucator and politician at the same time?

9. Are the rope and the torch all the race is to get under your leadership?

NEGROES ARE} OPERATING STREET CAR LINE.

Jacksonville, Ela. Oct. 5—The new street car line that has been building by the colored people here for some time started opera­tion last week. The road was surveyed and built by a colored civil engineer and will be operat­ed by colored motormen and con­ductors.

This colored .street car line is the outgrowth of the boycott of a year ago and it only demonstrated what Negroes can do when money, brains and energy are united.

The road is a long one and has at its terminus a large pavilion and dance hall, elegantly fitted up with electric lights.

The road is a fine one and has an excellent roadbed and the steel rails are of the new sixty and sev­enty pound variety. .. The*electric lifce of ,street cars run and controlled solely by color­ed business men of Jacksonville* is now in operation. The Com­pany is the result of tlfe enter­prising colored people. The new road begins at the corner of Bay and Ciay streets;' runs north on CJay to State, and thence to the King's- Road." to Durkee's shell road, to the city limits^—Ex

REPUBLICAN PRINCIPLES.-

As the time to hold our annual election is only a few weeks off, which is Tuesday Nov. 3, it be­comes our duty to inform the voter of the time and to urge up­on'him the necessity of exercising his franchise. In a democratic

business and drove up to his hotise form of government the people are and Walked in, to behold his house full the sovereign power and the ex-of his associates. To say that he was m;n ;e „0„aiiw surprised was a mild term. He was P*ession of their will is usually compelled to put his horse up and stay awhile. A very pleasant and en­joyable time goes without saying. Mr. Heriry Clay in a neat speech present­ed Mr. Hyde with a beautiful rocking chair as a token of remembrance, then elected him mayor of Des Moines and called J. L. Thompson to read a list of a majority of the people; of the appointed officers that^he muBt appoint. Miss Gertrude Hyde present­ed a beautiful, smoker's ash1 mug;- also* a box of cigars that Brennan had bough'c later. Mr. S. Joe Brown pre­sented a leather cigar holder. Mr. Hyde has passed 49 summers ana Boent twenty-five years of that time in this city, and by his earnest hard struggle has succeeded and gained the esteem of all good citizens, irrespec­tive of color. It Is indeed a pleasure and a consolation' when a man lives so long in one community and retains the respect of all. His wife arid three daughters served an elegant four-course luncheon. They made It so pleasant for the guests. At a late hour ail left, wishing Mr. Hyde many more such happy birthdays.

hence every loyal and good citizen "Ow®4t to' the -government to go to the polls and express his sovereign power. This year as of usual years the two old parties are ask­ing your suffrage. It is your duty to ask the reason for sup­porting one party in preference of the other; to ascertain the principles of each party and to read the past history of both parties. Study the times and condition of affairs under each party when they were in power, then with your honest, free, un-bias judgment choose the party that has done the most to develop and advance our country. To my mind there could be but one answer. Experience is a dear school, but having gone through

The above cnt is' a true likeness of Mr. John Fisher, who is a highly respected and well known pioneer of Polk county. He is a candidate of for Supervisor of the Fifth Supervisor1 district; was born in Indiana in 1835, came to Iowa in 1849 and to Walnut town­ship, Polk county in 1860, settling on a farm where he has since re­mained, and by hard work, hon­est dealing and'judicious manage­ment he has succeeded in life. He haS held the office of Justice of the Peace of Walnut township for eleven years, and later his friends called him higher. He than was elected Supervisor and served as a member of the board for six years, being the only democart on the board. By his careful attention to the county's interest and his wise management he made a very valuable member; always watching the interest of the people as he did his own busi­ness. He was on the board dur­ing the small-pox period in this county and he was friendly to the small-pox suffers at the mines and elsewhere. ' Mir. Fisher did not seek this nomination, but his party and friends forced him to accept The last time he was elected he received 23t majority over the republican candidate.

He is a good citizen worthy of consideration, and no doubt if elected would as he has done in the past work to the interest of his district and Polk county. . ^ —— ANOTHER NEW PAPER IN ggTHE HAWKEYE STATE

As was announced sometime ago there was soon to be another colored paper started in Iowa, and last week volume 1, number 2 of the Buxton Gazette reached

v Tbe' following able ptptr was read by Mr*. A. G. Bdwatfs of 764 West Ninth street, a cultorvd eotorM woman, baforr the mlralonary aoelstj^ of .the .United l*TMh)rt«r|u churcli of thla elt/:

ladlM, 'Tla jvltto teellnia of plaaaere and gratitude that t address yon this after-Boon. 1 come to j-oa from an institution rapported by the aacrtflce and pMlanth-rophy of the United Freabyterlnn t-huroli, and all that 1 am, however little It be, I - owe to Knoxvllie college. Entering tl.e Little Olrla' Home at eight year* old, I knew no other home until sis rears ago, when 1 was married. 'Tis then with grati­tude Incited that 1 meet each one of yon, for yon have done, and are continuing to do y6or part in uplifting the most despised, the most misrepresented, the most misunderstood race In the world.

1 want to sfrealt to you soinewLat of the needs of the Js'egro and of how these needs are being met by such ' schools as Knoxvllie college.

Tlie Intellectual development jpf the race Is uo longer a question. In 1885- the four million freemen had no knowledge of let­ters, but northern philanthropists have bnllt schools and colleges, men and women have sacrificed home and frlenda and gone south and endured the contempt of being a "nigger teacher," and as a result, the percentage of Ignorance among us is largely reduced. Each year the number of college graduates is Increased and we find com­petent Negro men and women In every vocation In life. But theee. In compari­son with those who are unlearned, are few.' in the Black Belt, where the mis­sions of Knoxvllie college are stationed, especially In the intellectual life law. Here Is a field for great work and earnest effort.

The race needs the intellectual .culture, so impertlve to the life of a people.

One has said, 'What we need more than anything else. Is to Increase the number of thoroughly trained minds, for these, when­ever they go, are sure to carry with them; consciously or not, the seeds of sounder thinking and higher Ideals." I believe 'that th^shortest path in the development of the colored people Is the. more , perfect

.development of their Intellect, for .this is naturally followed by'thrift, economy and a high moral Hfe. •

Industrial training also meets a great need. The negro does for pitiful sums the labor of the south'. Ue Is not Shift­less, unambitious and lasy as Rev. Guild of Des Moines has recently declared. One has only to visit the South and glance at the "darklea" In the fields, on public worka. In the kitchens, In fact every place where there, is hard work and little money, to be convinced that the black man Is the prime factor In the building up of that aectkm. Yes, the massea toll Indeed, but tfcelfc - work Is' not the outcome of ' the knowing mlud and trained--• indus­trial -training la the completeinent to the intellectual training, without the former the latter is complete. While we want men and women in the professions, we also want skilled laborers; the masses must labor with their hands, and to com­pete with other men they must be taught to labor intelligently, economize and ac­cumulate.

Most of our schools and colleges carry along with the literary course, an Industrial course, and each student Is required to de­vote a part of each day, learning some trade or craft.

As to our moral needs: Senator Till­man, John Temple Graves, Kev. U'ullil and others, seeking notrlety, declare we have no "moral fibre," and make our case appear almost hopeless along this line. We know that inany of the black faces-have faded Into those of mulattos; we know there Is great need of more pure, noble women to rear the children Of our race a^od establish what Is so much lack­ing among us, refined, Intelligent, Chris­tian homes. But why these conditions? Is the Negro woman to bear the blame'/

For more than SOS years she «u |it« ao chance for dellcnle lesarvs or mod sat?. from childhood she waa the victim ot tke grossest passion. All the virtue of her •ex wvre utterly ignored. Her tome Ufe waa of the nioet degrading natnre. She became the mother of childrea ef both her mate and master. - Through mmm tac­tion ' sals she waa apt to be separated from these ties and ' forceid to accept others. Even the children were not her own, but her master's property. For her there waa no- sanctity of. marriage, 6u abhorrence If Illegitimacy, no endearing ( Specified Birds.

affections of home. These fundamental principles which hare their' root In the family have been ao greatly lost to ua by the curse of slavery. Well may we say "Th'd evil men do Uvea after them." The white man of the South, with the deepest sentimental abhorrence of amalga­mation aud social equality, thinks that the colored woman ia to be perpetually the

Endowment Day will be observed in an appropriate manner Sunday.

Rev. Speese and wife were made the victims of a surprise by a few of the members of '(he church on Wed­nesday night of last week, when, after

f rv*

victim of his lust; today she is followed, being awakened from a slumber, found teuipted with bis gold and. Insulted by the Southern gentlemen who think "black men have no rights which white men siioui*. regard and black women no virtue which white men ahould respect."

But the moral conditions - of the Negro is rapidly improving. The noble phllanth-rophy of the North haa reached and Is reaching tlila one-of the greatest needs of our people. In our schools and col­leges, which they have established/ the freemen are receiving the highest moral culture. '

The moral coodlUon of any race can be measured only by the moral status .of Its women. The h'ope then of the Negro is In Ita womanhood. We can only rise as she Is uplifted. ' Our glrla are receiving cla?eicii!, industrial and Christian training in lhe*e Institutions and these sacred in­fluences arc encompassing a million hearth­stones, und the humblest huts are being transformed into homes of Christian ' re­finement und domestic elegance.

Or.o of the note worthy featurea of Knox­vllie college, and 1 Suppose the same Is true of all the schools established for the freemen, is, what might be termed, the inner of home life of the school.' Al about the place, in every department. Is something suggestive of an ideal home. The humblest student is almost welcomed; no one in real need Is ever turned away. The students feel that they can take their burdens, cares and needs to their teachers aud know that they have their sympathy and will receive the best advice and as­sistance they can give. No one can ' es­tablish the paths that Mlr^ been straight­ened, the burdens th^t have been lighten­ed, the lives that have been purified and beautified, the aouls that have been saved. The aim Is to teach them how to live In the, highest and beat way. The principles of cultured, Christian life are taught by eultured Christian men ifid women §nd no mau^vanimeaiws. th<r good they

TGe"coiorpd people are under an'everilist­ing debt' of gratttude to the good people of the Not'lli, who are doing so much to raise tUem to the heights of Intelligence and Christianity.

Notwithstanding the hlnderances of prejudice, the denial of . civil 'rights jind other discouragements, the thoughtful Negro Is hopeful. He knows "that the laws of this land are Intended to give him an equal part lu the industrial, political, social and civil advantages of the country; he knows that t-hosn who would close the doors of opportunity lu his face are not the representative people' of this country; lie knows that "All men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights," and When these are denied him his country is dis­honored and its Ideals can never be real­ized until the NegroeB are no more the Freedpien but, In every sense, thy Pit EE MEN.

HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS.

An Increase Number in Des Moines.

It is a source of pleasure to the BYSTANDER that we note the general interest this year mani­fested among the parents of our city to have their children receive a higher education, or at least the benefit of our public High Schools. Prom the increase num­ber that has entered our High Schools the last week is encour­aging, and parents should strive to at least give their children the benifitof a High School educa­tion, which will the more enable them to better earn a living and meet the needs of this age. Here­tofore parents have neglected, in

the northern states whefe their children have free access to our public and High Schools, to send their children regular, conse­quently they would attend so ir­regular, thereby getting behind their class, fail to pass along cr on some trival excuse would drop out and never even finish the High School, thinking perhaps because they lived in free states everything would come to them. Such is not true, we must strive in the North to secure an educa­tion as same as our race in the South; only, in the North the op­portunities are far better and our children ought to learn much faster. This school year we have fifteen entered in the High Schools- We hope they will re­main until they complete the course. Their names are as foJ-.lows: S • ".Py
