The German voters

OF INC STATE. 1nC UoImdH VOlcrs
did not fight it's battles within the
party, but went over to the demo
cratic party. The Afro-Americans
were still loyal to the republican
party and it's principles. The Ger
man rebellion in Iowa placed or
materially assisted in placing sew
eral democrats in congress and
several counties elected men OF
that party. 1t was the first time
the democrats secured such a hold
upon the state since it's organiza-
ton The German republicans
maintained their position. The
republican party of the state made
overtures to them. The prohibi-
ton question was relegated to the
legislative districts and was no
longer a test of party fealty.' In
addition to this the mulct law was
freely discussed in the campaign
and made law by the succeeding
legislature. There is and has been
nothing that the republican party
will not do to retain the German
vote in the state.
That contest was over the liquor
question. The question of the
present discussion is question of
manhood. We do not believe that
there is people in the great party
that would submit and compro-
mise under the present circum-
stances. There are too many men
among us who are ever willing to
''let it 60" These mistakes will
continue in the future as in the
past unless they are stopped. It'll
is more question of loyalty to the
A Afro-American, which in reason
should overshadow the interest of
Allison. The presidential candi-
dates Will all be republicans who
before the St. Louis con-
vention. The Afro-Americans are
bound to Allison by no special
ties Of friendship in this instance.
Mckinley, Reed and Morton will
be glad to have the support of any
and all loyal republicans, and they
have given evidence to that effect.
We regret to see t. L. Smith ap-
pearing in print as in favor Of Ali
son, and referring, by inference at
least, to those opposed as lacking
"decency." At his home the club
and its members have decided in
favor of Mckinley. In Des Moines
the clubs have done the same. 1t
is estimated by papers outside the
state that there are 1900 Afro
Americans who are in favor of Nc
Kinley. All of these men have
been true friend, of Mr.. Smith. And
now he casts them aside for the
sake of being loyal to Allison. We
need men who will stand up for the
right, and we had sincerely hoped
that Mr.. Smith would prove to be
such a man. 1t is an admitted fact
that the Afro-Americans are right,
Just md reasonable in their cause.
1t must be plainly SO when leading
men desire to have some man retire
from the delegation in order to place
thereon an Afro-American, and |
when the state papers are urging
the same.
The remedy for the future, as we
view it, is for every votet to- attend
the primaries and caucuses-place
good men in the field for delegates
and then work for their election,
Make one victory the cause for re-
newed action. There will be no
victories without work-hard work

THE CITY ELECTION.

! AS shown by the vote in this
city last Monday, the voice heard
at the primaries was but an indi-
cation of what the voters intend
to do at the polls The contest
has been one Of the most remarka-
Bile ever held in the city of Des
Moines. Every place within the
gift of the people has been sharply
fought. The democratic party
put up the best man they had.
He is a man among men. Mr..
Mac Vicar was even stronger at
the polls than at the primar-
les. His position was plain and
well defined. The people knew
him, trusted him and gave him an
endorsement that few republican
candidates for mayor of Des
Moines have bad. He gave
strength and brought confidence
to the entire ticket. With the ex-
cept1on of two alderman the Ell
tire republican ticket has been
elected. The handsome majorities
by which the men have been
elected brings with it an added re-
sponsibility, and we believe that
every man elected will do his ut
most to satisfy all reasonable ex-
pectations. The ticket elected:
For mayor. ............ John MaeVicar

A HISTORY WITH A MORAL.

Attention Is called by a leading Western
paper to a notable object lesson in the mat
ter OF the growth and decay OF cities and
illustrating the fact that natural ad-
vantages ami facilities for trade and eV-
pansion can not be counted on for pcrma-
uent growth and prosperity.
The lesson is particularly commended 10
tho attention Of those people In this vcin-
ity who fail to recognize the necessity for
active and earnest effort In acquiring and
holding population ana business.
Ten years ago. according TO tho author
lily quoted. Portland. Ore, was the most
promising and prosperous city on the Pa
cifie coast. The Northern Pacific had Just
been completed which took 40 per cent Of
San Frnnclsco's trade from that city and
gave It 10 Portland. The government made
n straight and deep waterway for Port
land to the mouth of the Columbia aul
removed the bar at the latter point. Then
San Francisco became alarmed, put on
steamers for tho northern fishing grounds
and coast points, while Tacoma aud
Seattle to the north OF Portland did like
wise. Portland in fancied security, by rca-
son OF its position and advantages, did
nothing but depended on the Northern
Pacific road and It's deep water for trade
What has been the result?
The trade OF Portland has beon aimos,
destroyed and IS confined to the Willamette
valley and Eastern Oregon. The city is a
city of vacant houses The depression {,
said to be SO great that the Portland pa,
pers are declaring that the situation Is ;
crisis involving tho very life OF the city.
The moral OF the story for us lies n
the fact that while n city may flourish fo
u short time and give evidence OF bccomin,
a great center, II can not trust to its favor
able location and apparently superior IA
cilities OF trade. a rival may display
little more pluck and enterprise and wild
