Below is copy of the resolutions
presented by the colored delegates to
the Republican convention.
Resolved:-That we, the republicans
OF Iowa, extend our sympathy to the
republicans of certain states of the
Union, who are being deprived of the
right of suffrage by the democratic
party in violation of the constitution
of the United States.
That we condemn and announce as
unamerican, the disfranchisement acts
passed, and being passed in the several
democratic strong holds of the couptry,
and not that such acts are deceptive,
treacherous and hypocritical in the ex-
treme, in the light of that party's
boasted plea for the right of other
people to be governed, only, by their
express consent.
That we urge Iowa's delegation in
Congress to use their influence and
power to have the acknowledgements
of republicans in certain sections OF
the country. Investigated; and such acts
delt with by Congress in the light and
spirit of the supreme law of the land.
And we demand that representation
in Congress and in the Electoral Col
lege shall be based upon the actual
voting population, as provided in the
constitution, proportionate reduction
being made for any state in which the
right of suffrage is denied, except for
crime.

JOSEPH L. WOODS.

AS we stop and consider life
and it's uncertainties, we are not
surprised at the taking away Of
our beloved brother and friend
yet it was a severe blow to his
family, friends and brethren in the
Masonic fraternity. We realize
that our loss is Heavens gain,
because our friend and brother
died in the Faith, listening to
the "Angel Choir" as were his
last words to. a loving sister.
His life was as sunbeam,
making all happy with whom he
came in contact. He improved
his time and graduated from the
State Agricultural College as an
electrical engineer. He faithful
ly filled the position as electrical
engineer at the State Soldiers
Home at Marshalltown, where he
was considered a valuable en-
ployee and was loved by all con-
.nected with that institution.
He was a faithful member of
Eureka lodge who buried him
with Masonic honors.
In Masonic circles he was low
ed by all; he improved his time
as a mason and received all the
.honors of his subordinate lodge
and had filled positions of trust
in the Grand Lodge, and if it
had not been for his illness he
would be the present Grand Sec
.retary.
We as masons were loath to
give "Joe" Gas he was Familiarity
ta4nownl J up, but the Grand Master
above knows best and we say
within our hearts, not our will
but "Thy will be DONE" We
commend his family and loved
ones to Him who heals all sorrow
and brings comfort to all.
In the morning when the roll
will be called and we shall come
forward to answer to our names,
"Joe" will be there to welcome
us, his relatives, friends and
brother masons.
Thy life's work is ended, we bid the
farewell.
To Him who gave us thy comforting
smiles;
We praise and adore and await ou,
time,
Where far above this lodge we will
assemble once more.

THE CHURCH MANIFESTO.

A union church manifesto by
the A. M. E.. St. Paul and Co.
rinthian Beptist churches was
given Thursday evening at
Webster's hall. A very large
crowd of representative citizens
we're prese Mt, and the most sue
cessfu1 time ever enjoyed by such
a union meeting. An excellent
program was rendered, The
Brotherhood band furnished the
music. Each party on the pro-
gram acquitted themselves nicely.
The principle speech was made
by Atty. Geo. H. Woodson OF
Muchakinock, and was a master
piece, He simply riddled Senator
Tillman's speech to pieces. The
following resolutions were adopt
ed; after which more then 2O(
sit down to a bounteous supper
much credit is due Mrs. F. G
Goggins and her able assistants
| Whereas, one B. r. Tillman, in {
speech recently delivered in our com
munity, made such base and viciou
charges against part OF the fre
and respectable women of the coun
try as to shock the conscience an
arouse the indignation of all fail
minded men, and wound the feeling
and invoke the sympathy of all goo
and true women;
Therefore, be it resolved, that WI
J a part of the citizens and Christian
of Des Moines, Iowa, in a union NEE
ing assembled, denounce as base an
untrue the utterances of Mr.. Tillmal
wherein he seeks to discredit tt
good name of four million America
, women, and regret that the place
, occupies in the United States sena-
; should be so signally dishonored.
Resolved, That we take notice

THE NATIONAL NEGRO
BUSINESS LEAGUE TO
MET IN CHICAGO.

BUSINESS LEAG UE TO
MET IN CHICAGO.
After full consideration and
consultation with the officials of
the National Negro Business
League and friends throughout
the country, it has been decided
to call the next session of the
League to meet at Chicago, Ills,
Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day, August 21, ~ and %.
1t is generally conceded that
the meeting held in Boston last
August was one of the most sue
cessful gatherings ever held in
the history of the race, and that
it gave an encouragement and
impetus to the race in all lines of
business in a way that is now ap-
parent in all parts of the country.
Any person engaged in any
commercial enterprise or properly
delegated to represent any indi-
vidual or individuals engaged in
commercial enterprise, is entitled
to membership under such regu-
lations as may be adopted. Wom-
en- as we'll as men engaged in
business should be represented.
1t is strongly urged that Local
Leagues be established in every
part of the country where no
such leagues now exist and those
already organized be strength
ened wherever necessary, and
that these local leagues send del
egates, so far as possible to the
National organization, and keep
in close touch during the year
with the officers of the National
organiza ton; that these local or
ganizntions hold meetings month
ly as far as practical; that every
thing possible be done in these
local organizations to discourage
complicated and useless parlia-
mentiary machinery, and that
parliamentary and technical dis
cussions be avoided, as far as pos
sible, with view to concentra-
ting time and strength on the
real objects of the organization.
It is the desire of the officers of
our people as well as of the per-
persons engaged in business.
These photographs should show
both outside and inside views as
far as possible, and they should
be forwarded to the President of
the League at Tuskegee, Ala
bama, as early as convenient.
The time has come for the race
to take a long step forward in
establishing itself permanently
and more generally in the busi-
ness of the community where it
resides. ..
Let no Legislation or attempted
legislation discourage or dis
: ! hearten us. There should be no
doubling or hating. Every move
should be a forward one. To
gain recognition and success we
may have to struggle harder and
longer than others, but out of the
very struggle we shall gain a
strength that we can get in no
other way. The influence and
p power of intelligence, high char
acter and high standing in the
business world, are sure to place
e the race IN the end in a position
t where it will be honored ant
IS treated with justice in every part
l. of the land. Let our watchwort
: constantly be, FORWARD"
