THE SOUTHERN PROBLEM.

[I3y Geo. A. Thatcher in Sept. Forum j
Aside from the negroes savage ances-
tors and his position of responsibility
as slave, he has missed, for the most
part, the influences ii even the most
rudimentary sort of home life. Under
the exigencies of the slave system, the
humblest home had no chance of per-
manency, and consequently had but lit
tie influence. Among the civilized races
that have gone far on the road of pro-
gress, the family life of the negro is
reckoned the foundation of self-respect
and morality The negroes in the
United States thirty-fiv years ago had,
however. scarcely any better developed
traditions of family life than the birds
that mate in the spring.
But the generation born since the war
and now rearing young children pos
sesses home life, poor as it must be in
a majority of Instances. Their chill
drens children, the proverbial third
generation, will inherit certain family
traditions and ideas of training. What
those traditions and ideas are will de-
pend upon the education of the fathers
and grandfathers. Suppose, for in
stance, that a negro, now of the age of
thirty has received at the institution
conducted by Mr.. Booker T. Washing
ton, at Tuskegee, common school ed
ucation and the knowledge of a trade,
| together with some idea of proper liv-
| ing. Suppose, too, that his children and
| grandchildren Will have similar train
| ing. Will any man undertake to lay
down the positive dictum tnat those
grandchildren will be more unfit fer the
responsibilities of the ballot than the
children of the European peasants who
vote in all our states? Will any man,
not blinded by prejudice and intoler-
ance, claim that he can predict the fu-
ture OF the negro race before he has
seen the third generation born outside
| OF slavery-a generation possessing
some idea of a home, and little edu-
cation and knowledge of skilled labor!
That will be sixty years hence, almost
a hundred years after the period OF
slavery. Will any man, who has given
the subject an hours thought deny the
| reasonab leness of suspending judg-
ment? The extent to which favorable
conditions will obtain will depend upor
| spirited men and the voters who
sustain their policy.
4 OF course, all the race will not come
| under the beneficent influences of Tus.
kegee, Hampton, and other centers OF
practical education; but already in thu
maturity of the first generation borr
since the war, the leavening influence.

The .Algona Upper Des Moines OBJ
serves that 1.-The victory of the free sill
yer men in the democratic state conven-
tion has taken the vim out Of the party
and it is conceded that no campaign
worth while will be made"
The Nevada Representative declares
that 1.-The general result Of the conven-
ton is utter democratic demoraliza-
ton" 1t ayers that "the majority that
is thus predicated for Mr.. Cummins and
the rest of the republican ticket there is
10 estimating. Opposition to the repub-
lican ticket is virtually withdrawn"
Alogna Republican,: There are two
reasons which will occur to every one
Why state issues can not monopolize the
attention of Iowa people as they go to
the polls this fall. The first is that ma
tional politics are forced into the cam
paign by the necessity imposed upon the
legislature next winter to elect two
United States senator's. The seats of
both Allison and Dolliver are to be filled.
The election of United States senators
brings in questions of national politics
whether it is desired or not. The fact
that not one but two are to be chosen
by the legislature makes the coming
election one of great political impor-
tance. That election will determine
Iowa's entire representation in the up
per house of congress.
The Montezuma Republican is of the
opinion that this is going to be a great
year for the small farmer. The man who
has large lot Of stock to feed and has
to pay handsome prices for grain and
hay may not fare so WE'LL but the farm
er who depends largely upon the pro-
ceeds from the sale of raw material will
make more money than in any previous
year. He can find ready market for
prices. Think of what is regarded as a
half crop of corn selling in the fields at
s15 per acre and straw at figures higher
than hay usually sells"
The Ackley World (dem.) says the
democrats of Iowa in their state con-
vention committed an error the effect of
which will be difficult to overcome;
there was no necessity for reaftirming
allegiance to the Kansas City platform:
it was merely the act of the element
whose sole object seems to be to demon
strate to the conservative that they are
of the sagacity that makes political or
CARNATIONS successful" Still, the World
supports the platform in the hope of
something better hereafter.
The Clinton Herald says if Governor
Eoies will write a letter to that paper
announcing his intentions of voting for
Mr.. Cummins, all past neglect will be
forgiven.
| In speaking of Abrams, and his sup
rort of the republican ticket, the Cedar
Rapids Republican declares that MIR.
Abrams is not man that a conserva-
tive party can afford to make much ado
over. From all accounts he is an ex-
tremist. To endow him with influence
in the republican party would simply
mean the building up of an influence
which would eventually rend the party.
Men like Abrams can not be made fac

The action of the governor in re-
storing BARLEY to prison has tended to
restore harmony in the republican
party. 1t is believed that the COVER

and his frank declarations to the con-

on the platform to do this and inviting
questioners to seek all the facts desired,
restored him in large measure in the

A STATE SENATORIAL CANDIDATE.

Whlle the supporters OF Senator
Joseph Wallace in Hardin county, and
his many friends in Marshall regret
that he did not secure denomination,
they are gratified over the breaking
of the deadlock after 1887 ballots had
been cast. The length of the contest
shows the earnest desire or Hardin
county to send worthy man back to
the senate. However the 37th district,
composed of Hamilton, Hardin and
Wright, has secured good nominee in
the person of f. C. Hartshorn, of
Wright. Mr.. Wallace would not have
gone into the contest had he not I'M
derstood that Hamilton would have no
candidate but he can not complain for

to the state senate since the state was
organized. OF him the Webster City
Freeman Tribune says:
F. C. Hartshorn, who is forty-four
years of age, is u native Iowan, and has
lived in Wright county twenty years.
For six years he was treasurer of his
county. and has always been prominent
in business and political affairs. He
like both Mr.. Wallace and Mr. Brinton,
is well fixed being the owner of over
three thousand acres of land in Wright
county and fine home in Clarion.
He is man of high character sound
judgment and great good sense, and
will make a diligent and influential
member of our state senate, and will
faithfully serve his Immediate con-

 Another invention of Professor Gates, made some years ago, is a remarkably ingenious and incredibly powerful mi croscope possessing the power of mag nifying some millions of times. It is, however, very expensive, costing, ac- cording to it's inventor, about S12, 900 to construct it.
 Professor Gates believes that within ten years we shall see an enormous ad- vance in electrical science. The inven- tions already produced, according to him, merely touch the great possibili- ties of the magic fluid. He believes that wireless telcgraphy, telephony and telephoty will be so perfected that we shall not only be able to speak to per sons in distant lands, but that we shall see them at the same time. The pro- l lessor holds that the x rays are capa- hlc of indefinite improvement, and we shall soon be able to arrange q device enabling one to see through an entire house and observe the inmates as skel- ctons. walking or sitting or lying around.

 Professor Gates favorite idea is that of mind training He holds that the brain of the average person is develop ed to only about ? per cent of it's pos sible capacity and that the future will see tremendous increase in the think ing power of the human race.

Printed Without Ink.
 To take an ordinary person and by development of certain parts of the brain make of him or her splendid genius in any desired line, such are the expressed aim and intention of Pro lessor Elmer Gates. This is only one of the many magnificent plans of Pro- lessor Gates, who is one of the leading American scientists. He calls tEis theory "the theory of brain develop ment' and believes that by means of it man race. He claims that lie can build up and add to the brain, since it has been determined accurately by physi- oIogists that certain portions of that organ govern corresponding functions of thought, action, etc. Professor Gates claims that he has demonstrated periments upon animals and upon his own child, and he holds that the cen tury just opening will see startling advances in the science of brain de velopment.
 Professor Gates is no mere dreamer of visions, and his standing in the sci entific world entities his theories and opinions to respect. He lives at Chevy Chase, a suburb of Washington, where he has residence opposite that of Secretary Gage. There he has big laboratory and intends to establish q college in which he will teach the sci ence. of electricity The professor has made 2 number of valuable discoveries and inventions in that field of both sci entific and commercial importance. Among his recent inventions is that of a electromagnetic separator, which will prove of great benefit in gold mining. It's purpose is to separate from the gold
