WHO IS IT THAT DRA IVS
TIE COLOR ZINE2

Can some one tell us why there
has not been a colorcd man drawn
on the Federal Jury since 1878,
when the lamented II. X. Love
was clerk, and look after the bust
ness Of the office, colored men
often sat as jurors. In 1873
Messrs. Knuckle, Warrick and
DAVIS were on the regular panne].
Does it appear reasonable to any
fair minded person that it just
happened so that for the past a
years that no colored man has
been drawn; and must the colored
men presume that those who have
the drawing CT the Jurors been
fair with them, or will they be
compelled to believe that the line
has been drawn. We are not like
those who are always looking on
the dark side of the picture, but
we try to believe thot the world is
growing better, and that charity,
the grandcst of all, is governing
the thoughts Of man. Can any
one say that there is not any col.
ored men in this district that will
compare with the average jurors:
We believe that we could find
such men, we know that we can
find men that will excel that jury
that brought in the verdict, which
turned loose Il man that the court
believe to be guilty, and he Gems
sured them for their actions. 1t
is utterly impossible and unrea-
sonablc expect that the Afro
American will think that he has
been fairly dealt with by those
that have the drawing of the jury

CIVIL SER VICE EXAML-
p NATION.

In our last civil service cXami'
nation for the post office Of Des
Moincs, which was held here last
February, there were four of oul
young colored people entered the
examination, viz: Miss Beatrice
Hicklin, George Dunn; Harry
Hughes for the clerical department
and j. w. Thompson for carrier
department, last week. The ex-
aminers has just finished marking
the grades and placed the clligable
list up in the post office. Out of
the forty who took the examina :
ton, only about thirty passed and
two were colored. Harry W.
Hughes, who took fourth place,
50 per cent; and the other was
Geo. H. Dunn, 77.G0. Mr.. Dunn
is well known here, having lived
here eight Or ten years, and has
clerked in Mr.. Rogg's drug store
for six or eight years. Atpresent
he is foreman of their glass dept.
He was born and educated in Mis-
souri,, and is one of our most
economical al industrious young
men. He already has a nice &c.
count laid up for the future. Mr..
Hughes was raised in our city is
very young, only nineteen years
old and will graduate from our
high school this spring. He is
one Of the best in his class and
passing fourth highest male in the
civil service bespeaks for hlm
a bright future. He is fine young
man, and his many friends will be
pleased to hear of him receiving a
good clerical position. We will
checrfulIy recommend either OF
those gentlemen, and wish them
success. To those who did not
pass we would say to continue on
and not be discouraged. Remem
Der the old maxim, "If at first you
don't succeed, try, try again"

: A Wolf in Sleeps Clothing.

We do not make it cur practice to crit
| icise the editorials Of other newspapers.
Indeed we seek to cva,lc discussions OF
this kind; set We will call halt to such
gross misrepres sent; tions or monster
falsehood rs appeared i'll the editorials of
the last Saturday Mail and Times Ga sup
posed decent shect printed in our city,
| in which this narrow Drained editor
says Mr.. Foster, owner of our
two finest opera houses, ''hcrctofore las
used great care, but now allowed himself
to be dupcd Tor few petty dollars
and has allowed one of his
boxes to be occupied by co!orcd gentle
men, Further, he says: "Thc Mail and
Times is always lriond Of the co!ored
man and will help him in every chance
possible. Yet, we are confident that no
respectable coored person would intrude
himself in white society rs these galvan-
lied gentlemen arc doing. = ::
Don't let their position in the opera house
to which they are allotted change your
opinion, they are simply tour iriiuts who
have placed themselves In the box by 4
mere force Of circulnSa ances. which, at this
age, their color should have dcbarred
thcm."
We will say to this ninccmpoopt'at the
time is long passed. when you narrow-con-
tracted Southcrucrs, with your poisonous
hatred toward the equal opportunities of
all people. can come and dictate to the
enlightened North who shall sit in Il GER
tain seat, or sell tickets to certain classes
only. Mr.. Foster is too broad y man to
tolerate or even harbor such an injustice
IN his mn:!. The very idea Of this editor,
with his water soaked, narrowsct, cob
web, and blstered Uranium. try to say to
enlightened people that lie is a friend to
| the colorcd man. "a friend 1t is q
fa!schcod; we resent the statement. This
same editor. hypocr'e under the disguise
of christian, refused to st on the same
seat with colored gentleman, much his
superior, at certain chl,rc,. lie and his
wife left the church. Then, again, only n
few years ago this same being wanlcd the
people to lynch a colored man in this city
because he got the best OF white man i'll
a fight. Then say, "a friend" Oh. shame
ana conscience, where art thou' Oh.
thou hypocri,e? The sel-respecting and
intelligent people Of proud Iowa will pay
no more attention to this idiot than the
buzzaras does to hadcs. No, gentlemen
hardly a scoundrel would have the andac-
itv to write such an article.
In conclusion, we think that the race
loving people who subscribed or even
buys copy will no doubt reflect before
purchasing again.

PHOENIX ARAZONA.

In this territory about two years
ago, Negro soldier BY the name
Of Lashley killed another soldier
(colorcd) for which he WAS tried,
convicted and the death penalty
imposed. Counsel exhausted every
resource in the courts. Then the
matter went before Mr.. Cleye-
land who granted a respite. Presi-
dent Mckinley did the same thing
for ten days, fnolly deciding he
could not disturb the sentence.
Only few days remain until the
date Of execution as the courts
have it, but the convicted man
through his attorney, has appealed
to the King Of Denmark on the
ground that he is Dane. The
Danish Embassy intcrvcncd and
Secretary John Sherman has or
dered an investigation with instruc-
ton to the Governor to "see that
all rights are given,' this son OF
HAM Of Danish nativity.
