has been revived may be increased

1.-THE people of Iowa have voted
for themselves the delightful luxury
of negro suffrage. In this there ia
one redeeming trait for Me Radical
party of the State, that of consisten-
cy."-Iotca State Reporter.
In the opposition of the Democrat
ic party to the Acknowledgement OF
the negro, there is an irredeemiag
trait, that of Inconsistency. They say
"bully boys" to 1900 of John Nor
risey's constituen g, who are not an
intelligent by fair and equal COM
parison, as the 1900 negroes in this
State; but because they were born
with black faces they should not have
equal rights with the low scum of the
Fifth District of New York, who
would send n gambler and prize
fighter to Congress over Horace Gree
ley. 1t is about time the Democratic
party talk of embodying consistency
in their principles if they ever wish
to attain power again.

SURPRISE PARTIEs.-The New
York Post says that what are now
called surprise parties became fash
ionable in England about the year
1900, when they were called "Pic
Mic Suppefs." They were gotten up
in the following manner: 1.-THE bill
Of fare was prepar d-each dish be-
ing mum bered-and- the subscribers
to the entertainment drew lots, and
each was required to furnish the dish
marked against the number he drew.
This may be useful as hint to per
sons getting up surprise parties,
which, by the way, are the most sch
sible species of entertainment now i'm
vogue, because the entertainer Is re-
CURED to furnish only the parlors.
and is put to no trouble to prepare
lor the guests, while the visitors fur
nish their own supper and music,
and thus equalize expenses. BY that
way people who live in pleasant
house, but who cannot afford to pre-
pare an entertainment entirely AT
their own costs, may still receive
their friends occasionally and enjoy
II social and fetal evening""

BLACK HAWK CoUNTY.-We pub
fish elsewhere the official vote of this
County. 1t is record worthy of be-
ing proud of when We take into ac-
count the efforts that were made to
diminish our majority. 1t was
claimed by the Democratic party that
the starting of an organ would pro-
duce decided revolution in the poll
tics of the County, but the vote shows
the influence to have accomplished
the same result that Seymour's can
wasting tours did-increased rather
than diminished the Republican ma
jorities.
We show a gain of 939 over last
year and we are of the opinion that
Black Hawk will not come out far

RAILROAD ITEMS. From the Du-
buque Times we learn that the con-
tract for building the Cedar Falls and
Minnesota Railroad on from Charles
City to the state line has heen let to
Messrs Brown and Dillon. Active
operations will commence next week
The Eldora Ledger says that on the
first day of November, the entire con
tract between there and the Chicago
Northwestern was closed out to Messrs
Greene, Rowley & Co., of Cedar Rap
ids. This includes grading, tieing,
bridging, culverting, &c. The terms
of contract require ten miles of road
to be ready by first of June next, and
the balance by August first.

EDITOR GAZETTE Il wish to say q
few words in regard to the modus
operandi of nominating candidates
for township officers in Cedar Fails
township. If / am correctly in
formed, there is a central committee
appointed, with a chairman whose
duty it is to properly notify the cleo
tors of the township that a caucus
will be held at certain time and
place, for the purpose above named.
The intention is, believe, to give
voters an opportunity of expressing
their preference for those whom they
desire for candidates.
On the Friday just prior to the late
election a notice WAS inserted in the
GAZETTE, that Republican Caucus
would be he'd that eUeniRg for the
purpose of making nominations.
The paper containing the notice was
probably mailed about six hours pre-
vious to the time set for the caucus.
Now, l will venture to say that not
ten per cent. of the voters of the
township knew anything about it
until il was all over, at least those
who depend upon public notice for
their information.
This, think, is not right. Why
not give reasonable and timely no.
tice. 1t was just as easy to give one
or two weeks notice as six hours. 1t
may be urged that people won't at
tend, take no interest, &c. But
every candid and impartial mind
must admit, that all should, at least,
have the opportunity of attending.
whether they avail themselves of the
privilege or not.
/ do not wish to east any reflections
upon the course of those whose duty
ID was to call the caucus. Nor do
say that 1t was designed to take adj
vantage of those residing outside the
city limits, i'm the bestowal and dis.
tribution of offices, but there il some
thing suggestive to an outsider, in an
examination of the ticket nominated
upon that OCCASION. With one or two
exceptions, every candidate chosen
lives in the city of Cedar Falls. Let
due notice be given in future,
that no cause for dissatisfaction may
exist. w. j. NJ.

Most Btters Of the present day
that are loudly pulled through the
newspapers as having great tonic and
curative properties are vile COM
poundsand base impositions, contain
ing no medical virtues whatever, and
are really very poor whisky bevera-
ges; and, instead of stimulating as n
tonic, have tendancy to weaken
the stomach by entirely destroying
the coating. The public should
therefore be very cautious, and pur-
chase none but Robdck's Stomach
Bitters, which have stood the test as
a remedial agent for many years, and
are really as their name indicates, a
stomach 5itters, and not a beverage.
They combine the properties of the
best tonic and stimulant--a gentle
laxative, an efficient anti-bilious
agent and the best stomachic known
in the world, and, when taken I'm
conjunction with R0bdck's Rood
| Pills, are the safest and surest pre-
tentative against ali bilious derange-
ments, thoroughly regulating the
whole system and giving tone to the
digestive organs.
They are highly recommended as an
invigorating tonic to mothers while
nursing, increasing the flow of milk
and for convalescents, to restore the
prostration which always follows
long.continued sickness, they are
unsurpassed. No household should
consider itself safe from the ordinary
maladies without these invaluable
medicines. They can be obtained OF
any druggist. &c.,. -

criminal. The Judges charge TO the
jury was lengthy, Astounding with
words and wisdom, but the noise in

would prevent any deep impression

gest that fewer words and more work
would aid wonderfully in decreasing

CLOSING CoNCERT.-Tbe closing
concert of the Musical Institute. I'M
der the direction of Prof. Suffern,
was given at the M. K. Church last
Friday Evening. There was a good
audience, but it was not as large as
we had anticipated. The singing
was very fine. The three weeks of
instruction and practice given the
class by Prof. Suffern has developed
much musical talent among our
young people and his work among us
will be of lasting advantage to this
community. Miss Pitkin assisted in
the exercises of the evening, enter
taining the audience with number
of choice pieces of music. The re-
peated encores of the audience dur
ing the evening, gave unmistak able
evidence that all were highly enter
tanned. We are pleased to learn that
similar entertainments will be given
during the winter.

The writer SAYS

The greatest mistake of the present
day in musical masters is the tenden-
cy TO set aside the good old-fashioned
system of singing schools. Many
improvements in the means of gen
eral musical education have been ill.,
troduced within few years past, but
there Is nothing that can take the
place of these singing classes. Bet
ter lose all the rest than to lose these.
Private instruction, though of the
very best kind, can never take their
place. In them there is not only i'm
provcment in music, but i'm just the
things to which it is the province of
music to lead. The social feelings,
for instance, are there developed as
here can never, by any possibility,
be brought out by drawing room in
struction. Private instruction has
an unfortunate tendency TO exclu-
siveness. One result Ia seen in the
difilculty now experienced in Undue
ing the best singers of congregation
to take their places in the choir. Ii
indicates bad state OF things when,
as is now so frequently the case, a
church which perhaps contains a
'N&sNh NANtltcuL SltiSUlrt 10 ooliSN' w
put up with very indifferent music
on Sunday. That could not happen
II the young people of the church
were brought together frequently for
the enjoyment of social music, or. I'm
OTHER words, If they were In the hab-
IL OF attending n church or commu
nifty singing school. Pastors should
guard this point most carefully, and
use all their influence for the perpet-
uation of this useful institution. IL
Is true there is nowa difficulty which
was not formerly experienced, aris-
ing from scarcity of teachers. II is
better, however. to employ an indif
feTent teacher than for singers to give
up the habit Of assembling them
selves together" Bot If first class
teacher can possibly be obtained, dc
not let the paltry consideration of q
few dollars stand in the way Of secur-
ing his services.
We strongly urge all churches To
secure the attendance of their young
people at some kind of singing
school during the coming winter.
