A Brief Outline.

During the month of January The
iowa STATE BYsTANER made contracts
with home merchants for $500 worth of
advertising. The firms are the leading
ones in the city anfamong the best in the
state. Extra copies Of the paper were sold
to our white patrons, they having bought
all extra copies for the past two or three
weeks. This fact shows to the Afro
Americans of Des Moines and Iowa that
all efforts and disposition manifested on
their part meets with hearty and SUBJ
stantial response by business men and
others. The merchants want to reach the
homes of the Afro-Americans and are will
ing to pay reasonable sum to do so. In
behalf Of the Afro-Americans we hive
received many compliments and words 'of
encouragement. The paper will be just
what its patronage make it. If more
business and more subscribers are added
the paper will be enlarged and more COM
nlodious quarters secured. The paper will
attempt to represent the best thought and
the greatest improvement along all lines.
If the ability Of the present editor is in
adequate to the demands he is perfectly
willing to step down and give way to one
of larger capacity. We have no egotism
to place in the way Of the progress OF the
Americans of Iowa. We are adding
to our printing department every week
and hope in the near future to have an Of
flee second to none in the city. We have
been working twelve and thirteenth hours
per day, but we will not regret it if the
Afro-Americans will show us that they
are sincere in their oft repeated declara
tons of loyalty to American and Afro
American enterprises.

Senator Tillman, of South Car

Senator Tillman, of South Car
olina, probably delivered the most
peculiar speech ever listened to in
the senate of the United States or
read by the American people.
There was none of the elements OF
scholar on a statesman in it. 1t
was rough in literary style, and
never arose to the sublime. Parts
of it were absolutely vulgar. He
represents a state that is second
in point Of illiteracy among the
states of the union, and a state
that has but recently adopted a
constitution to in part prevent the
Negroes from going to school.
Well, the Negro members of con
gress have given the state such a
high standing that Ti]lman and
his speeches and uncouth manners
can not eface.

Recent reports in regard to the

Red Hiding Hood.

A large and appreciative audience as
sembled at the A. M. E. church Tuesday
evening to witness the rendition of cred
Riding Hoods Rescue"
The operetta has been in preparation
for the past four weeks, under the able
leadership of Mrs. w. M. Coalson, upon
whom too much praise cannot be be-
slowed for the manner in which she has
attended to every detail. Those interested
were gratifed beyond their most sanguine
hopes.
The costumes of the principal charac-
ters deserve especial mention. May
Fleming Ruff as '.Red Riding Hood, > ap-
peared in charming costume of bright
red, with the indispensable red hood and
cape. Mrs. j. I. Blagburn appeared as
Grandma i'll an old-fashioned black
gown, and upon her powdered hair rest
ed cape OF rare old lace Mrs. W. H.
Birney as "Mama" was appropriately
gowned in black princess, and also wore
cap of old lace and chiffon. Geo. l..
Holt appeared in the typical costume of a
''Woodman," and gracefully welded an
axe. The chorus of children were in hol-
iday attire of white and bright colors;
the "Bluebells' entirely in pale blue, and
carried bells, which they rang at intervals
as they executed a fancy step. Edward
T. johnson as the '.Wolf" acted the part
to such perfection that number OF little
folks in the audience felt highly gratitied
when he met his untimely end. Tracy
Blagburn as Robin" Nina Hamilton as
"Buttercup," and Cora Smith as Rose,
sang their respective parts well; as did
also Edith Stewart, Burl Smith and the
boys chorus Mrs. J. II. Sheppard also
deserves credit for the manner in which
she rendered her solo.
Mrs. w. NJ. Coalson presided at the
piano Messrs. John Hardy and Douglas
Miller acted as stage managers.
There were four tableaux; and many a
one as they listened to the dear familiar
strains of 81 Cannot Sing the Old Songs"
and Dreams, Happy Dreams" by
Grandma and Mama, respectively, re-
called to memory their childhood, with its
innocence and glee. Finally, the operetta
has very good moral, and each one par
ticularly acquitted themselves oredltably.
We are glad to see our musical people
undertaking this style of entertainment.

The appointment of a scholarly

The appointment of a scholarly
woman to a professorship in the
University Of Michigan has been
spoken Of as a unique thing, the
latest and most advanced step in
the emancipation" of women. AS
a matter of fact, we are ust
getting back to point which had
been already attained in Europe
before the reformation. In Spain,
under Ferdinand and Isabella,
several distinguished women held
university positions. One of
these, Lucia de Medrano, tanght
classics in the University of Sal
amanca, and Francisco de Lebrija
occupied the chair of rhetoric at
Alcala. Another was the queens
instructor in Latin. Mention is also
made of a woman of high distinc-
ton who occupied professors
chair at Genoa, when that uni
versity stood among the first in
Europe. There is nothing new
under the sun.

it is plain that he has no concep-

Piles we can not ssand will not fol-
low it. Some of the greatest in
tellectual battles Of the age have
been fought within the republican
party. The caucus and the party
whip have silenced this strong
point in the party. When the
republican party has done wrong
it should not be covered up.
When a paper sees only the loaves
and fishes and forgets the multi
tude it can be OF no manner of
benefit to the cause it is supposed
to espouse. It has been demon
strated beyond the possibility Of a
doubt that the Negro has nothing
to look or hope for from the dem
ocratic party. But if Negro
wants to be democrat he can be,
and we will have no desire to
harm him in a duel with pistols at
short range. But if we can show
the fallacy OF his arguments we
believe it our duty to do so. The
trouble with Negroes in Iowa is
that he humbly submits to injus-
tice at the hands of the party Of
which he IS member.
