It is said by those who know the
temper of the old Pop Legislature,
and by those who are familiar with
the doings of that body that the rail-
road lol byists will pounce down upon
1t, and that no Legislation will be en-
acted. The move is political and has
no motive but Doodle.
The opinion is expressed that the
Kansas legislature will not be con-
fined to railroad Legislation only, but
3 wide range of subjects will be dis
cussed. and such laws will be en-
acted as may To considered best. But
a legislature with only 20 days set
ting cannot determine wholesome
legislation. and in consequence the
Legislature will adjourn as farce.
The last expiring hope of Popu
lism is found in Governor Leedy's
call for meeting of the old legisla-
ture, which met yesterday. This is
the contamination of a political plot,
which has been in state of incuba-
ton for come time, but which has
found its Matching during the holi-
day season. At the meeting of the
Legislature two years ago the Pops
failed to enact railroad legislation,
and now as they are about 70 retire
from the field. they unwisely meet to
enact the scenes of two years ago.
There can be nothing else. Had the
Pops desired to retrieve the wrongs
of two years ago they would have
.called the Legislature together last
winter. Why should they wait until
The new legislature is about ready Ia

At present there is a very great
rush for the Alaskan gold regions
from nearly all parts of America,
and as yet we have failed to read or
hear of many colored men going.
Why is this? Exchanges please
answer. Is it because we are not
pinoneers? Or because we are afraid
of the Artic cold? Is it because we
do not have that keen American
ambition for money? Or the lack
of finance to 60? l would like to
hear of hundreds of my race going,
because some, no doubt would make
fortune. 1t has often been said
that the colored race were not pio
neers, but wotld wait until the coun-
try was opened up, cities built and
railroads running before we would
go. Then we would go with the
broom, and white jackets upon oul
shoulders or trays in our hands,
when we should have gone with the
hoe and plow.

Tho turmoil Of Chicago is stirred up
again over the distardly murder of the
ooiored Post Master at Lake City 8. c.
The president has been sent urgent mes
sages in the behalf Of bringing the per-
petrators to justice. This is much need
ed step, the eolored people are to much
wonted to tell their troubles to each other,
instead Of demading Of those who are in
power to assist in abolishing these devlish
evils.
Mr.. A. L. Williams has started to un-
ravsl his little ball Of politics, in the shape
of secret organization.
Hyde Park and the 32d ward has played
one Of the most important pasts in political
campaigns for the last five years and this
promises to be one of the warmest yet,
at present there are three fractions namsly
Mauney vs.. against Williams, and the
two combined against . colorsd Demo.
cratic and Free Silver followers. MIR. Lo'
gan the Dimocratic leader assures me that
his side shall carry the majority in the
coming election.
l commend the BYSTAnDER on being
one of our most newsy colored journals.
Chicago is much in need Of paper thai
carries something aside from society
news.

Quite great deal Of talk is being car
ried on in our city among certain people
concerning the manner IN which the
Hawkeye lodge No, 8 Knights of Phythis
acted in the last hours of death and burial
OF the late F. o. Allen of Oskaloosa.
This lodge was not obligated to Mr.. AL.

Allen was charter member OF said lodge,
was appointed an Office, which was de-
clared vacant on account of non-attend-

BYsrANDER:: that one, Rev. P. P. Samuel
pastor of the Olive Baptist church Of Bur-
lington addressed the Young Mems meet
ing Of the A, M. E. church OF Des Moines
last Sunday.
We are requested by the officers Of the
Baptist church to announce that Rev. p.
P. Samuel Is not pastor of said church
and has not been for some time; also that
said church has enough pastors at present
without stray preachers lowering under
her wings for protection against the
world.
Although ii was announced in last
weeks papers that the Olive Baptist
church was to be sold at auction in few
days, it is not gone YET. We know tha!
1t would please many people in this and
other communities to herr of this church
going unde~. but through the hands oi
the Almighty Buler, and with the kind
and liberal assistance of the leading white
element ofthe city, she still stands open
to the world as house Of worship, and
in less than a month will be clear Of all
indebtness. "God works in a mysterious
Way, His Wonders to preform."
