The Twenty-eighth Iowa) Cen
eral Assembly met last Monday, and
organized for work. The Gear men
defeating the Cummins' men for
speakership by only three votes,
therefore giving the Gear men full
control of both House, hence the
re. election of Senator John Il. Gear
OF burlington, for another term in
the Upper House. 1t was the great
est political fight in the annals of
Iowa politics. The Gear men was
surrounded by nearly all of the
trained politicians of Iowa, with two
powerful railroad corporations on
their side; nine-tenths of all the fed
eral and state officers, all the post
masters, all the congressional dele
CATION, and other things very help
full. While Hon. A. B. Cummins
relied on his true young, free, indie
pendent republicans, for his support,
while this defeats only a temporary
cheek, yet his eloquent voice will
soon be heard in the United States
Senate.

much to have seen some colored

RACE ISSUE IN THE y. s..
~ SENATE. .E--

For the first time since the con
vening of the present congress the
question of Franchise for the Negro
or the race question was discussed
last Monday Senator Morgan Dem,
Ala }, defended the new cons,itu-
tional amendments of Louisiana and
North Carolina, which was recently
passed, practically DISTINGUISHING
the colored voters. Below we print
a brief synopsis of Senator Morgan's
speech. On Jan. 22d, Senator
Pritchard (Rep., N. CO., will ad-
dress the Senate, favoring the rcso-
ution and Negro franchise. We
will make no comments until the de-
bate is over and both sides are
presented.
Mr.. Morgan said that no great body
of white people in the world could be
expected TO quietly accept a situation
SO distressing and demoralizing as is
created by negro suffrage in the south.
II is q thorn 10 the flesh and will irri.
tate and wrankle in the body polite
until it is removed, He declared that
negro suffrage in Louisiana and other
line OF obstruction to progress, and
shat in many places thousands of negro
votes in doubtful counties, with little
concealinent, were bought for ii each.
III southern white men," said he,
..:.have falsified election returns they
have the stronger, II not better, reason
that they are acting upon the same law
Of selt-defense that insulted and out.
ragged human nature resorts to for the
protection of homes and families from
race that sets at defiance all moral
restraints upon their brutal desires"
SUGG EsTs A HOME FOR NEGROES.
This evil, he thought, would end
only when the United States had p~o-
vided a home for the negro race suited
to their traits.
In conclusion Mr.. Morgan said:
THE democratic party has always
been a white mans party. and when
the appeal of Louisiana and North Car
DINA, supported by the democrats in
all the southern states, is made to
them, they and vast body of white
men all over the country who have not
acted with them in the past, will unite
in demand that these sovereign states
shall not he destroyed for taking care
of the lives and happiness of their peo-
pie"
At the conclusion of Mr.. Morgan's
speech, Mr.. Pritchard gave notice that

DIXON DEFEATED.

George Dixon of Boston, the COL
ored featherweight, who has held the
championship for six years was de-
feated, but not knocked out by
Terry McGoven, of Brooklyn, last
Wednesday night, at the Broadway
Athletic club, in the eighth round.
1t was a clear defeat, as the young
Irishman was too much for the COL
ored lad who can boast of the best
record of any pugilist in the world,
having fought over 800 battles and
was never knocked out. He was
born July 20, 1870, in Halifax, N.
S., height S feet 3 Ia inches, weight
11S pounds. His ring career began
in 1886. Indeed the phenomenal
record that Mr.. Dixon has made is
astonishing the world. W.

to be incorporated in Chicago.
Colored business men of Chicago ore
about to incorporate an insurance com.
pany exclusively for colored people.
The reason offered for the drawing Of
this particular kind of color line is that
the insurance companies of the cou ntry,
it is declared. persist in holding out
discriminative rates to those colored
people who wish to partake of the
benefits accruing from life insurance.
1t is said by those who profess to
know that this Is one of many move
ments to broaden the business life OF
the country's colored population. Col,

to make paying investments by estab'
