Mr. G. r. Foster, of Muchakinock,
was candidate for representative on
the Republican ticket of Mahaska
county. He received few compli-
mentary votes from the white delegates
and the solid support of all the Negro
delegates but one. There were about
twenty-five Negro delegates in the
county convention. Mr.. Foster is a
man far above the average in general
intelligence and far above the majority
of the white men who become mem
bers of the legislature and he should
have been nominated. The same treat
ment was given the late Alexander
Clark in Muscatine county; Mr. Clark
was good man and a good Republican.
His voice was always heard on the
stump speaking in behalf Of the party
and it's principles. He received large
complimentary vote but not the nomina-
tion. Other places Negroes have been
sent from Iowa to Washington because
they were too smart" A stop should
be put to this complimentary busi-
ness. We are 4 900 strong and should
be represented in proportion.

A SWANS FIGHT FOR LIFE.

It's Assailants Were Badly Used Up Ia
fore 1t Was Conquered.
One of the finest swans on the ex-
hibition water at the base OF ElHels
tower was killed last night in bastard
ly manner by two youths, one of whom
is a student, Of respectable parentage,
the other third-class cafe singer.
These mischievous lads were returning
home to Passy from one of the cafes
Of the Palais des Beaux Arts at an ad-
yanced hour, when they saw the swan
sleeping majestically on the pond, It's
peak buried in it's feathers. They
stealthily approached the bird, which
was near the bank, and seized hold OF
it, The swan made what has been de-
scribed as gallant struggle for life,
as the cruel captors bear on their faces,
hand and arms cuts and bruises in
flicted by it's beak and wings. At last
the rascals succeeded In dispatching
the bird by twisting its neck, but Its
cries attracted the attention of the po-
licemen who were on the beat at the
Trocadero end of the lena bridge. Some
moments after the swan-slayers Went
towards the Trocadero, one of them en-
deavoring to hide the bird under his
great coat, but seeing the policeman ad-
vancing to meet them, took to their
heels. The lad who was carrying the
swan was caught and the other es-
capped, but as his address was furnished
by his companion, the commissary OF
the Muette district arrested him early
this morning. The two are now In the
depot waiting trial in the police court.
The swan is said to have been valued
at e. The affair bears good deal OF
resemblance to the story related by the
late Villiers de l'Isle Adam of the man
who killed swan to ascertain II 1t
would sing before dying. The splendid
swan killed on the Champ de Mars did
not give out dying song, but 1t may
be said to have shrieked like human
being while its neck was being twisted
and it's wings torn off The policemen
declare that the terrible sounds coming
across the river from the place where
the outrage was committed utterly
amazed them for time.-Paris letter.
