Rnssia Places an Order for Three
Cruisers With the Cramps.
New YORK, N. Y. Nov. 23.-The Iron
and Metal Trader, in its latest issue,
says:
THE most sensational report OF the
week is that relating to the placing of an
order for three armored cruisers by the
Russian government. The reports, which
are as vet uncon6rmcd, have 1t that
the Cramps have captured the work, and
that the Bethlehem Iron company have
secured the order for the armor. That
both ship builders and armor plate
makers have had negotiations of this
character under way is beyond any
doubt. The reported success of the ne
gotiations is certainly a fattcring trib-
ute to the ability OF our yards and shops
and proves their capacity to compete
with the Europeans in this particular
line of work."

not cry from the house tops ''protect

know that protection is needed at

The Negroes of this country deserve
at least protection of the law. That
protection was won by the deeds of
valor on the field OF battle in all the
war of this nation, by the man who
fell at the foot of Bunker Hill in the
Revolutionary war: and in clearing
the cotton fields of the south; and in
the more quiet and peaceful avocations
of free men. In the war they showed
bravery; in slavery they showed
patience and fortitude. Now all they
ask is simple justice and protection and

A NEW COLORED MANS PAPER
from the lam State Reaistey.

From tie Ioaoa State Register.
One more was added to theNistof Des
Moines newspapers yesterday the first
number of The Iowa STATE BYsTANDER
being issued. 1t has a first page of
editorial matter that displays purposes
of the highest order and ability tosex-
press them not only forcibly, but enter
tainingly. The paper flies the Repubn-
can banner at the mast head, and, as it
is edited by colored men, as well as
owned and managed by them, this is
the most naturalnt thing in the world.
1t boldly proclaims itself on all the
leading issues Of the day. and is not
afraid to make an issue Of Negro lynch
ings 'seven if ex. x.rebels and traitors and
members of the southern confederacy
have to obey the laws of God and man" ]"
But while it has courage Of it's political
conyic tions the paper, we are assured,
will devote its first attention to news
matters Ito being newspaper, IN other
words. It will strive to be the organ
of the colored men of Des Moines and
Iowa, by being the paper which colored
men, and women, too, viii read for
the news and for its information The
paper has in Its management such
colored men as T. E Barton, VIM.
Coalson, jefferson Logan, John D.
Reeler, Thaddeus s. Ruff, James E.
Todd, Joseph III. Shepard, B. j. Holmes
and E. T. Banks. Mr.. John Reeler is
the business manager and Charles and
Thaddeus Ruff editor and associate
editor respectively.
The newspaper field in Des Moines is
pretty well occupied. But there is
always room for good thing, and
something for things that are not good
saloons, for instance and so the
Register welcomes these brave young
editors, young men who have made
their own way in life and have been
able to share in the benefits of the best
educational institutions of the state.
