SHERMAN ON RAGE PREJUDHGE. An Address To the Colored Men of
 WashinRton-Neeessi of Education
 I'm the South-Need of a Uniform
 Election Law.
 WAsHINeToN, Dec. 21.-Senator Sherman was this evening serenaded at his home by the sJohn Sherman Republican league" (col- ored) of the District of Columbia An ad- dress was read thanking the Senator for his great and unremitting services on behalf of the colored race. Senator Sherman in re- sponse said:
 "The problem of securing to you the peaceful enjoyment of equal rights and privileges is the most difficult one in Ameri can politics. have no regrets for anything have done to emancipate you, to educate you, to clothe you with all the legal rights of American citizens. So far as the constitu- ton and the laws of our country can do it, you now stand befsre me invested with every right of free men. In all the Northern States and in some of the Southern States they are freely conceded and openly enjoyed by you. If, in some of the southern States, these rights are denied to you, you must remember and make allowance for the opinions and prejudices of age and for enforced ignorance, the necessary result of slavery. But it is certain that these prejudices will disappear as you acquire edu- cation and property and that you can win by your moderation and good conduct the re- epect and confidence of the sons of those who held you or your ancestors as slaves. If you suffer injustice under the shadow of the past remember that never before in human his tory did an enancipated race or class make such progress in so short a time as you have done."
 Senator Sherman expressed the hope and belief that the next Congress would pass uniform election law to secure to every man his right to vote, and have that vote count ed. but he warned them that Congress could not interfere in local elections. A State or a part of the people of State may do injus- tice to it's citizens, but this does not author ize Congress to interpose military force. If injustice is done you must not resort to mob violencs or crime. You must appeal to the law and public opinion. In any resort to force the advantage is fearfully against you. Your hope is in the moral conviction, grow ing stronger daily, that in justice to you re- acts on your oppressors.

BISHOP TAI BOT.

St. Thomas Day Exercises as st. PauI's.
 At St. Paul's church yesterday, it being St. Thomas day, holy communion was held at 10 a. m. The Rev. E. s. Lines off siated assisted by the Rev. Andrew L. Sawyer.
 In the evening about 300 people gathered to hear Bishop Talbot give very interesting talk upon his work in Idaho and Wyoming. These territories have been set apart for spe cial missionary purposes, and that country is rapidly developing.
 Bishop Talbot has only recently been sent to the West At Laramie he received 8 pe- tition from large number of business men to stop there, and offering to build him fine brick house which would cost not less than S5,OOO. He accepted. The house is nearly completed and is heated with steam and lighted by electricity and has cost $7, 800. It will be ready for him when he returns next week He says that the people ;n the West are not foreigners but largely New England business men who immigrated. The mis- sionary bishop has to travel mostly by stage coach and by blackboard and sometimes in the saddle.
 It is said of Bishop Talbot that he had got ten so accustomed to the motion of the stage coach that when he got down at Salt Lake City and had real bed he couldn't sleep.
 He says that when he arrived in the field there were but four clergymen in Idabo and four in Wyoming, but he now has sixteen under his jurisdiction.
 There were but six churches, but he now has six more nearly completed. He has not given over $500 to any society for church, yet many churches have been built by them, some costing as high as $2, 800 and few less than $1, 200.
 Bishop Talbot is the youngest bishop in the Episcopal church, being only forty years old He is @ western man, having been born in Missouri, and was ordained in 1887.

Nix. HUTCIIINs, chairman of the SEN
ate committee on ways and means has
issued his estimates of the state fl.
nances, which show somewhat more
clearly the actual condition of affairs
than the sanguine literature of the re-
publican campaign or the disbolical
democratic papers issued in their ex-
tremity. For the first six months of the
current year the expenses are estimated
at 100000; expenditures, 1884, 900;
leaving of the floating debt existing
Dee. 3lst, last, of S502,97s.39, a balance
Of Slss.97S.sl. Continuing the account
to the close OF the year the estimate
leaves balance in the treasury of
SiO0,97S.39; and at the end OF 1889 there
would be the handsome sum ia tba
treasury vaults of s229,0s72o. However
these estimates do not include the ap
preparations to be made by the leg,
islature. Iowa has unsurpassed insti
tions for the unfortunates. and the
second best capitol in the Union, all OF
which have been erected in the recent
past. 80 that the condition Of affairs
when considered by the intelligent pop
nlace, Is very satisfactory.

REMEMBER, my boy, the good things
in the world are always the cheapest.
Spring water costs less than corn wills
key, a box of cigars will buy two or
three bibles; gallon Of old brandy will
cost more than barrel of -four; a full
hand" at poker often costs man more
in twenty minutes than his church sub
scription amounts to in three years; a
state election costs more than revival
of religion; you can sleep in church ev-
cry Sunday morning for nothing, if you
are mean enough to deadbeat your lodg-
ing in that way, but nap in Pullman
car costs you two dollars every time;
fifty cents for the circus, and penny
for the little ones to put in the mission
airy box; one dollar for the theater, and
pair of trowseEs iraysd at the bottom
and baggy to the knee for the Michigan
sufferers; the race horse scoops in $1,000
the first day, and the church fair lasts a
week, works twenty-five or thirty of the
best women in America nearly to death,
and comes out $40 in debt. Why, my
boy, if you find yourself sneering OF
soothing because once III q while You
hear of a preacher getting living, OF
even a luxurious salary, or temper
ance worker making money, go out In
the dark and feel ashamed of yourself
and, if you don't feel above kicking &
mes4 nan, kick yourself.-Robt. Bur

s,oo for Biighted Affection.

The case Of Susie Sylvester VS.. James
Gallagher was commenced on Friday
last and continued until Tuesday even
ing, with an intermission from Satur-
day noon until I o'clock Monday even
ing. Susie aged 10, claimed 5000 of
James Gallagher, aged %, as compensa-
ton for disappointment, anguish Of
mind, impaired health and loss of social
position, sustained by reason Of the
said James having failed to fulfil his
promise to make her his lawfully we'd
ded wife. The facts were elected that
in leafy June the twain rode and drove
and under the influence Of the rose
scented atmosphere and in the declining
light Of the cleaning James did, in the
infatuation Of the hour, prospose to and
was accepted by the plaintiff. A letter
turned up to testify to the fame Of
Jim's love, and which was burdened
with sweet words of soft sentiment and
admiration, and effectually verified
Susie's claims. As defense for default
to consummate the agreement, defend
ant alleged that plaintiff had character
istics unknown to him at the time Of
the betrothal, and good deal Of testi-
mony was introduced for the purpose
of indicating his course. Acts which
would at least be deemed deeds of in
discretion were shown. The jury was
composed of men of sound judgment
who were insusceptible of sentimental
plesdings or influences and their YER
dict giving plaintiff 500 was generally
commended. They were in the box
from I o'clock Tuesday evening until
10 o'clock yesterday morning.
The case should serve for many years
as warning TO people in similar
circumstances Of the humiliating
position when bringing such mat
tors before the public to re-
ceive hasty and harsh criticism. 1t
were better to pine away in sorrow and
solitude.

CONGRESSMAN HAYES, Of the second
district, has denied the right of petition
to portion OF his district. A petition
signed by a large number of his con-
stituents and their wivss, asking for
prohibition in the District OF Columbia
was sent TO him asking that it be pre-
seated to congress. 1t was returned to
the petitioners with IN opinion to the
effect that he was not ia favor of pro
hibition and that the signers were in
competent to petition the national leg
isiators. Whatever the gentleman's
opinion might be courtesy and duty de-
manded that lac should comply with
the request of the three hundred petit
tioners. Mr.. Hayes is an outspOken
enemy Of prohibition. He is an ayowed
friend of the liquor cause. On the
bench he became distinguished for his
decision against lew and evidence
when the matter in controversy per-
tanned to these subjects, but he Is the
only Iowa congressman of such narrow
mindedness and bigotry az to deny this
right. He was elected to represent
the democratic and law ignoring sec,
Ond district, and has doubtless met
their fOndest expectations.

In all the receSses of Grover Cleve-
lands memory there is nothing to re-
mind him Of his promise to the mug
wumps that he would never ask but for
one term in the executive chair. Had
lac kept his quasi-promise he would
have been much better preserved relic
than he will be when GOV. Hill of New
York, gets through with him. That
gentleman is preparing TO contest the
nomination and in the preliminary
skirmish has scored signal victory. a
member of the national committee
from New York was chosen last week
and the Cleveland and Hill factions
made hard fight for the position, i'll
which the hOrdeS of the latter seated
their man. But the Cleveland chief is
not dismayed. He has ordered that
the corners of the departments be
scraped in search of remaining repub-
lieans, and that when found they be
summary dismissed and replaced by
servants OF the licensed faith and who
will battle for their chief, He is mar
shalling the forces of the civil service
to rise and rally his tagging prestige,

Iowa is loyal state and loves its
soldiers as demonstrated in the erection
of the Soldiers Home, now completed
and occupied at Marshalltown. And it
is proposed to go further and provide
partially for those who for sufficient
reason cannot accept the hospitality of
the home. 4 bill Of this nature has
been introduced by Capt. Head. 1t
provides stipend for soldiers who can
not 60 to Des Moines, and its wisdom
is obvious, as it is not only an exhibition
of state gratitude but is as well in the
interests of economy. There are many
soldiers partially disabled, who can com
mand good wages portion of the veal
or working season, and who have fam
lilies from whom they are 10th TO separ
ate, that can in such time maintain
themselves, while the new bill provides
an amount that would scarcely exceed
their expense to the state il they were
ut the home. 1t would also lift q bur
den from some of the counties.

TINS 0p21aitiQl t. the railroad lesis
lation is growing strong at the capital.
The tendency from the first has been
to deal with passenger traffic, and as
this interest is in Imminent danger the
CD posision tries to turn the attention
to freight rates, us the most important
interest and accompanied by the great
est extortion. Their attitude after
having favored an express 2-cent fare
plank in the platform is not more in
CeniOus than their feigned solicitations
for freight shippers. 1t is but fair to
admit, however, that some very strong
arguments are Submitted supporting
the claim of the railroads that the Scent
fare Is not the bonanza that it is COM
monty supposed to be, and that in the
event of reduction, the passenger ser
vice must OF necessity be impaired. We
believe that the legislature is inclined
to deal fairly with all parties in interest
and will net make enactments that will
cripple the companies now operating In
in the state. If the agitation results in
thorough study of the subject so that
such legislation will be ruled by intelli'
genoe rather than by prejudice or the
lobby, tho result will be worthy the
time occupied.

The measure to reduce the salary
of county superintendent from
81 to SO per day is in the interests of
a misguided economy. When it is con-
sidered that the faithful discharge of
the duties imposed upon such officers
requires the most intelligent men the
state affords the fact will be impressed
that the proposed reduction would i'm
pair the service. The person incapable
of commanding an aggregate salary at
least equal to the compensation allowed
superintendent under existing laws is
unworthy of election to an Office where
in he has virtual control Of the school
system Of a county. iowa schools are
proud boast of the state, result due
in great measure to the efficient edu-
Gators who have held the county office
but to reduce the salary would be to
drive capable men from the field of as
pirants and abandon one Of the chiefest
interests to inferior pedagOgucS and
political nincompoops.

Republican Gains in the South.


Mr.. Clarskson in pursuing his argu'
ment in favor of making broader the
national republican platform, shows the
growth of the republican votes there
by tabulated statement, and that 1t
has been steady growth rather than
an impetus. Such being the increase
during the years of lethargy what may
we not expect since the Introduction OF
manufacturing interests whose exist
ence is dependent upon the perpetuation
of the republican party. The line OF
argument suggests that Mr.. Clarkson
had thoroughly studied his subject and
is prepared to meet all adverse criticism
with convincing facts. The following
extract is taken from an editorial COM
ment upon the same subject:
1t is not until we come to the demo-
cratic border states, and make an analy-
sis of the votes there for seven years,
that we find any substantial republican
gains. In Virginia, there is republi-
can gain of fifteen per cent, and DEM
ocratic loss of fifteen per cent, or net
republican gain of thirty per cent.
In West Virginia, there is republican
gain of nine per cent, and in Kentucky
a net gain of ten per cent. In the Dor
der states of Virginia, West Virginia,
Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri
there is a republican gain of thirty Six
per cent. We present these figures to
those who say that there is no impulse
In the south toward the republican
party. and that there is nothing to gain
BY making our party platform so broad
as to the future, that many thousands OF
| men who were in the rebel army, and
who are with the republican party on
present issues, may vote its ticket next
| fall. Another proof that the platform
NAV be broadened 10 the party's profit
without the least surrender of principle
Is furnished from the fact that the re
publicans gained more votes in the
border states on local platforms than or
the party's national platform. Virgins
made its own platforms in 1885 ano
1856 IL elected six congressman ont oil
ten. and carried seventy-eight Of TIL,
one hundred counties. This was don'
on platforms which did not repel for
mer rebel soldiers. That such platforms
did gain new strength to the party Il
shown by the vote in the ninth dlstrlc
of Virginia, in which it carried thirteen
counties III wh!Gh the white population
is more than six times the cOlored. !
drew its strength from the whites. II
1887, on Legislative tickets and loca
platforms. there was republican ma
iority of 2,OO) in the StAtc.

W. Z. Andrews for several years
president of the newspaper Union at
Des Moines, has disposed of his interest
in tilat concern to Messrs. w. a. Bunk
er, Jas. Joslyn AID W. II. Welsh, the
consideration being $4,000. The
ready print" fellows make more out OF
the business than the country publish
ers. We don't see why cooperative
publishing house, run by Iowa news
paper, men could not be made to pay, All
of Andrews customers put together did
not clear $1,000 in the last ten years,
carroll Herald.
Prior to his venture which has re.
turned such rich results Andrews was
a newspaper reporter on a medium sal
airy. That there isa big profit in the
ready print business Is proven by the
circumstances of all engaged therein
They domineer over country publishers
and give occasional notice of an ad
vance in prices with blandness that il
refreshing. They have resorted to pool
ing and deprived patrons of the advant
ages of open competition. We have
considered the cooperative concern
mentioned by the Herald, and believe
it could be made paying business II
properly organized.
