The Nation that cannot protect it's
citizens at home and abroad ought to
be swept from the map of the world.
The Democratic party tells us that the
United States of America can protect
all of it's citizens when they are away
from home, but those who are citizens
of Louisiana or Mississippi or any state
under our flag, the Government is
powerless to protect them. l deny it.
say the government of the United
States not only has the power and
unless it does it, it is infinitely dishon-
orable-to protect every citizen at home
as well as abroad, but the government
has the right to take it's soldiers across
any state line or into any city, county
or ward for the purpose of protecting
every man, whether white or black.
The doctrine of the Democratic party
is the old doctrine of secession in dis
guise-that the state of South Carolina
or Mississippi must protect it's own
citizens, but that the government has

The attention of the entire country
has been attracted to the contest going
on in Kentucky between Breckenridge
and Owens. The issue was not polit-
ical one, but a moral issue. The peo-
pie of that district were equal to the
occasion. They demand that a man
shall make some pretensions to moral
ity before he can represent them in
congress or any place else. 1t was not
alone the concern of the people in that
district but Of the people of the entire
country, and it is gratifying to note
that there is general rejoicing at Brecls
inridge's defeat. Morality is the basis
of every good cause and should be
strictly adhered to by ever class of peo-
pie. By this districts action notice is
served on the entire country that men
of moral integrity must be put to the
front in any event if success is desired.

Do they (the English Investigating
committed want to know that the
white people of the south have lynched
Negroes whose miserable lust led them
to the commission of the black crime of
rape upon white women? If so, they
need not investigate, for such is the
fact.
Do they desire to know that this has
been done by infuriated communities
for the protection of their white women
and to save victims of these fiends from
the humiliation of testifying in courts?
If so, this is the fact Do they want to
know whether there was any doubt as
to the guilt of the men lynched? Ifso,
for the satisfaction of their yearning
souls, they could have ascertained
without encountering the perils of a
sea trip that their guilt was clear in
every instance.

No colored men or organization have
time to spare in disputing over per-
sonal differences. There is work of
general nature in which all can meet
and do good. The Negroes of the
south need assistance. They are suf-
fering many tortures, and the time
spent in local disputes is time thrown
away. The more united the Negroes
of the country are the greater will be
results in any cause in which they may
enlist. One of the fundamental prin-
ciples upon which The Iowa STATE
BYsTANDEE was founded is that Of
massing the colored people of Des
Moines and Iowa in one good, strong
body. United we can lift the burdens
from those who are being maltreated
in the north and south.

On Making Buttonho1es.

The entire effect of the home made
gown is ruined if the buttonholes are
failures. They should be neatly and
thoroughly made, and should not be
attempted unless one understands the
secret of making them perfectly.
Marking is the first step toward a
successful buttonhole. In the first
place, care must be taken to measure
accurately the distance they are to be
apart. Then cut the first one and
pass the button through to be sure
that it is the correct size. Mark the
size of other buttonholes with thread
or white chalk, cut them with button
hole scissors, overcast the edges with
twist. Then bar each hole, that is,
take long stitch on each side, leav-
ing the thread on the surface of the
cloth about one-sixteenth of an inch
from the edge. Begin at the back
end of the buttonhole and work the
usual stitch, craving the twist evenly
and firmly all along the front end;
work this round, almost as if it were
an eyelet. Then continue up the
other side until you come to the back.
This should be fastened sqnarely by
several neat stitches laid loosely one
on top of the other. Then take all
these up with bsttonhole stitch, form
ing strong loop that will hold the
hutton-hols firm as long as the gar

What do the colored Democrats think
of these facts? 1t really makes me
sick to see men here in this city paying
taxes on from twenty to forty thousand
dollars worth of property and have no
more voice in the city or county govern

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The republican party comes again before
the people of Iowa with every promise per-
formed and every prophecy fulfilled.
The history of the past year has again
demonstrated the untitness ana lnconlpe-
tency of the democratic party to admins
ter the affairs of the nation, and has again
yindics ted the eternal truth of republican
principles.
companied democratic supremacy we
turn with confident hope to the sacred duty
of restoring peace TO distracted ana uls-
ordered country.
We again declare for system of pro-
tectiye duties so adjusted th at every Amer
lean resource can be developed by Amer
lean labor receiving American wages, and
we insist upon tariff that will accomplish
these ends
: We have but to mention the disastrous
res,,lts whicb'ha followed the mere men
ace of free trade as conclusive evidence OF
the wisdom of the republican policy IN the
past upon this subject.
We adhere ito the declaration of the
national republican party in 1882 upon its
monetary policy
we reaffirm our belief that ''the interests
of the country, its farmers and working
men. demand that every dollar, paper or
coin, issued by the government, shall be as
good as any other dollar"
We favor the largest possible use of silver
money, G0aU Is COuSlSGShO WIN obC pOi
mauent, maintenance of equal values OF all
dollars in circulation
We do not want monometalllsm, either
Of gold or Of silver. and we pledge ourselves
to Continue to work for bimetallism, to be
brought about by all fit means within the
power Of the govhrnment
The welfare ofsthe laborer and the main
tenance of the dignity of labor have been
the constant card of the republican party
from its birth. Its whole history is an
effort to secure I'd the wage worker his just
share of the fru1ta of toll; and it now re-
news its pledge to defend the working man
NOT only against the assaults of foreign
competition but against the attacks OF
domestic avarice.
Resolved, That the honest and lndustri-
Gus immigrant vito comes to our land with
the intent to befome in good faith an
American citizen, Us always welcome. None
other should be permitted to come. We
favor the amendment and more stringent
enforcement of the immigration laws SO as
to exclude criminal, pauper and all other
undesirable classes whose presence tends to
degrade American labor and incite dis
order.
The republican party, ever mindful of
the patriotic services and sacrifices of the
veteran soldiers of the republic, reafiirms
it's position in favor of liberality to the ma
tion,s, defenders. We favor the granting
of pensions to all honorably discharged
union soldiers and sailors whose disabilities
asfhecessities justly entitle them thereto.

nothing to do with it unless the gov
ernor or the legislature OF the state
calls upon the general government.
This is infamous. The United States
claims the right to draft every citizen
into the army. 1t claims the right to
stand every able bodied man in front of
a cannon in time of war; and now to
say that when peace has spread her
beautiful wings over our land, when
some citizen is struck down, that the
United States cannot protect him,
when the United States will make him
protect it, is Infamous. The flag that
will not protect its protectors is dirty
rag. 1t con teammates the air in which
it waves, and if that is the true theory
of our government, | despise it. 1t is
the duty of this government to see to it
that each and every American citizen
has all his rights in every state OF the
union, peaceably if we can, forcibly if
we must. The Republican party made
the black man of this country citizens.
1t put the ballot in their hands, and it
is the duty of the Republican party to
see to it that they have peaceable
opportunity to cast their ballots.
There are plenty of men in the south
who fought against the government
and who were satisfied with the arbi-
trament of the war, and who laid down
their arms and are union men to-day.
/ want the government to protect them,
too. AS general rule. however, the
population OF the south is turbulent,
and the best men cannot control it, and
men are shot down for opinions sake.
1t ought to be stopped. 1t is disgrace
to American civilization. They tell us
that the colored men are treated very
well! Oh, yes very well! Tread every
little while of two peaceable white
men going along not thinking of any
thing, as harmless and inofensive as
lam BIS, and they are approached by ten
or twelve Negroes, and the ten or
twelve Negroes are shot, but the two
peaceable white men don't get a
scratch. The Negroes are the ones to
bite the dust; tits Infamous. The Dem
ocratic party don't care. Samuel j.
Tilden don't care. He knows that
many southern states are being carried
by assassination and murder. He
knows that if he is elected president of
the United States it will be by assassin
alton and murder, and he is willing
that they should go on. 1t is infamous
beyond the expression of language
What party will be most apt to pre-
serve the liberty Of the Negro, the
party that gave it or the party that de-
MED it? Who will be most likely to
preserve the liberties of the loyal white
men of the south, the men that fought
for them or the men who fought against
them?

CAN A NEGRO BE A DEMOCRAT.
Rambler IN Peoples Aduocate, Atlanto, Ga.

Rambler IN Peoples Adgocate Atlanta, Ga.
Every piece of legislation the Dem
ocratic party has managed to pass,
either in city, county, state or United
States, has kept the colored mans nose
to the grinding stone. When any
party, whether it be Republican or
Democratic, appoints Negro to any
place of honor the Democratic press is
first to set kick. Do you deny it? If
so, read the files of the Constitution
and other southern dailies when C. HI.
]. Taylor was appointed by a Demo-
cratic president as United States Min
lister to Bolivia. If the Democratic
papers were sincere in calling the Negro
10 the Democratic ranks, why did they
not stand by Taylor? No, they could
not stand it. 1t is only the colored
mans vote they want The Democratic
press never yet has raised ITS voice
against lynch law and mob violence.
If there is d lynching or whipping
bee they will give it Il bold heading and
conspicuous place in the paper, but
not one word against it editorially will
they utter, and thereby asserting to it.
But on the other hand ii there be a
Baptist association, Sunday school con-
vention or Methodist conference or a
colored school commencement or open
ing, the Democratic press says nothing
about it, and if it does it is put in some
out of the way part of the paper where
it is seldom seen.

Take pint of hominy, pour cold

Then pour off the water. Do this
twice; then put it to soak III three
pints of water or milk over night. In
the morning, put it over to cook in q
double boiler, add little salt, and
stir often. If it becomes SO thick as
not to stir easily, add more water or
milk. It should be just thick enough
to settle down smooth soon in a deep
dish. Fine hominy will cook in two
hours, the coarse requires three. 1t
is very nice eaten warm with cream
and sugar. To fry it for breakfast
slice it about half an inch thick and
lay it on griddle creased with nice

A writer in the Saturday Review is
subjecting what he states to be the
policy of the present city administra-
ton to severe criticism. THE BY
ISLANDER is not in position to accept
as facts all that is alleged by this
writer, but if it be true that the Sunday
ordinances are enforced against boot
blacks on the streets to the exclusion
of boot-blacks in the hotels, it is but
fair that Mayor Hills should revise his
policy to the extent of putting the boys

From the way the Democratic press,

that of favoring ''lynch law and the
