The Opening of the IroquOii
Club.

On last Wednesday evening the
rooms of the Iroquois Club were
formally opened to the public. The
club rooms are located on the nOrtl's
west corner of Liberty and Canal
streets. The Iroquois is certainly
the finest organization of its kind
we could ever boast of. It's men,
bership includes our young and
most progressive citizens, and the
club is magnificently furnished
throughout. The furniture, which
is of the latest pattern, was fur
nished by the popular house OF d..
Flynn, on Poydras street, and the
upholstering by Mr.. Leopold Levy.
Exquisite taste characterizes the
appointments in every detail and
nothing is left undone to insure the
comfort of the members aud OfficeIs 8
of the club.
The club occupies both the Sec
Ond and third floors, the second
t1OOr being devoted 10 tno nauu'
some parlOrs. smoking room and
the private Office of the president
and secretary. On the upper floor
are the billiard room, bath rooms
! and other apartments for the con-
venience of the members, the whole
being furnished throughout in the
most elaborate manner.
A large number of friends of the
members were present at the open.
ing last Wednesday, and were
amazed at the brilliancy with
which they were greeted. Itis the
Intention of the club 10 have a for
NAL reception for ladies as soon as
arrangements can be completed.
To the committee on furnishing,
composed of Messrs. w. L. Cohen,
Col. James Lewis and NJ j. Simms
the club is specially indebted fol
the exquisite furnishing of their
magnificent apartments.

Georgia People Aappxs
7


The people Of Georgia, and espe-
cially the colored people, are to be
congratulated for having the legis-
lature of that State to. so over
whelmingly defeat that Infamous
measure known as the "Hardwick
Suffrage Bill"
When the bill came up for final
consideration the only person who
spoke in favor Of its adoption was
Mr.. Hardwick, the author; and
when the vote was taken, only two
members voted with Mr.. Hardwick
for it's adoption. Mr.. Hardwick
must certainly have felt the dis
graceful position he occupied,
knowing, as he did, that If the
measure had been formulated so as
10 give the people an honest suf-
frage qualification, it would have
met the approval of a large num-
Der and probably would have been
adopted.
Gov. Allen D. Gambler has
proven himself man of broad and
liberal views and advanced poll
tical ideas, especially when he says;
"rhe bill met its just fate, at least
in it's present condition." he rose
to the highest pinnacle of p6liticaI
Igreatness.
| Those who voted against the
adoption Of the bill have the last
ling gratitude of the people OF
Georgia-particularly the Afro
Americans. Great credit is due

"Those who opposed this measure
did SO first, because Of its uncon'
stitional provisions; second, be-
cause of it's unjust discrimination
contained in the "grand-father's
clause"; third, it would foment
strife between the races; fourth,
because their was no necessity fol
| lit; fifth, because non-educatiou
does not necessarily mean vicious

Will Not Permit GoebeI to Steal the
Stote.

The effort being made by Goebel
and his satellites to steal the
State of Kentucky from w. 5

elect. is one of the boldest at

known in the history of the coun'
try.

not p~rmit them to steal the State

The Coming Congress.

Congress will assemble next
Monday, December 4th, for the
long session. Both branches OF
that body will have Republican
maiorities, and therefore will ex-
perience no difficulty in passing
such legislation as in their opinion
will be beneficial to the entire
country.
Some of the most difficult ones
tions that have ever agitated 'the
minds of our congressional legis-
lators will confront them on the
opening of the session. The most
momentous questions which will re-
ouire earnest consideration and
solution is the disposition OF the
new possessions, and those likely
to be acquired. >
A rule of civil government mus'
be established in each of the ne"
territories, and just what these
rules will be we arc not Informed
but it is fair to presume that they
will be of such a nature as to NEE
the approval of our new c'tlzen'
and 10 some extent satisfy the
anti-expansionists.
1t is true that in both branche'
of Congress there are Republicans
who will oppose any Legislation
looking toward the annexation o
the Philippines: but it must alst
be admitted that qnite a numb
of Democrats of both branche
favor annexation. Therefore, tn
Republicans will encounter M
lstnbborn opposition; and when th
votes are taken they will have
sufficient number to not only all
mex the islands, but to establis
such form of government as i
their opinion will be t" The best in
terests of all concerned.
Thus il can be confidently ez
pected that the policy pursued b
