KANSAS LYNCHING.

The burning alive of Alexander al
the stake at Leavenworth, Kan, last
week by bowling mob is one o1
the blackest crimes that has evel
been committed in this country. How
long will the Americans suffer infu'
rated mobs to burn helpless citizens
without lifting up their voices
against such outrages. Alexander
was tied to stake, saturated with
oil and the torch applied while he
was protesting his innocence to the
last. He was burned because of race
prejudice. He had not committed
crime and if he was guilty he was
entitled to fair trial. McAliste1
and his three associates who raped
and then murdered little Jennie Bos.
sacheiler at Paterson, N. j., were
given fair trial and today there il
man in the Polk county Jail who
has pleaded guilty to the charge OF
rape on little girl and the readers
OF the two great papers who speak
of the colored man charged with
rape as the hurley brute, do NOT
know that child has been outraged
just north of the city. If these men
were entitled to a fair trial why il
not colored man charged with the
same crime? Where is our boasted
Christian civilization which guaran-
tees to us our protection under the
constitution. I
Race prejudice seems to be
growing and what the end will be
is thequestion; the co1ored man
will not always stand this. If the
question should be asked the COL
ored soldier why he fought in the
Civil War or those who saved the
day at San Juan, could they say
the flag they help save protects
them now. Again, can our
government go to the Philippine
Islands, 10000 miles away, to at
tempt to teach the lesson of
christianity and civilization, can
our government condemn the
Boxers in China or the Armen-
ians in Turkey for the treatment
of their subjects when we will
permit such horrible and shock
ing brutality of the mob violence
to continue. When you talk
about civilization and brutality
America should hang her bloody
murderous head in holy shame.

QUEEN VICTORIA.

This week the sad intelligence
is received that Queen Victoria
of England is dead. The whole
civilized world has felt the loss
and especially is it so keenly felt
by her subjects everywhere. She
is without doubt the greatest
ruler that mankind has seen, and
has ruled longer and better then
any of her predecessors; 81 years
as the Queen of England and died
at the ripe age of 81 years.
It is true that back through the
long ages of England's history,
England has had many good
rulers, but none so lustrious, sc
peacable, so full of material de-
velopnent, so full of love anc
kindness as the Victorian age
less bloodshed and more happi
ness. England seems now to bt
at her zenith in popularity

What is the Matter With
the Register?

Immediately after the lynching
of the colored man in Kansas the
Iowa State Register, the boasted
leading republican organ of Iowa,
sanctioned lynching and called
the supposed ravisher a scoundrel.
Right here in our own county,
only a few miles from his home,
a white man ravished a little
white girl, was taken to Jail and
has confessed that he did the
crime that a colored man pro-
claimed his innocence, and the
Register has never said to lynch
this white man or even called him
white brute. Oh, thou hypo-
critic Register! How unfair and
inconsistent.

CEDAR RAPIDS,

Under any and oil circumstances
death is a. terrible thing and nothing
draws forth human sympathy AZ
readily as the grim monster. He
has been in our midst often of late
and cutting down on the right and

cause more sorrow than when on last
Wednesday morning about O'Clock
Mrs. Hattie Persons fell a victim to
his death dealing scythe. Although
Mrs. Persons had been in poor health
for some time yet no one was more
aware that the end was so near.
She was an exemplary Christian, being
faithful member of the A. M. f.
church, and was one of the most
earnest workers in the church. Her
funeral took place Friday afternoon
from the church, conducted by her
pastor, Rev. Bass. Mrs. Persons
leaves to mourn her loss a loving
husband and a host of relatives and
friends.
Our community was shocked when
the news reached us that Jesse Bell
of Rock Island had been killed, as
Jesse used to be resident of the
Rapids and was well known here by
Il large circle of friends. His wife
was formerly Cedar Rapids girl and
We extend our utmost sympathy to
her and family.

WILL DISFRANCHISE TIE
NEGRO.

The governor of Maryland has
called the Legislature to convene
the first of March, for the sole
purpose of disfranchising the
Negro voters. They will amend
the present election law so as to
remove the emblems from the
tickets and having no fixed place
for any candidate on the ticket.
Such change would disfranchise
over 10000 Negro voters in the
state. What will be the next
method that these highhanded
murders will select to deprive the
colored voters of their right,
guaranteed them by the consti-
tuition. The next we presume
will be to have the ticket printed
in foreign language.
1t does seem to us that the
time has come when Congress
should say to those rebels that
you cannot make a law that will
prevent any man the right to
cast his vote, It is an attempt
to gain political perferment by
demagogism, and should be con-
demn by Congress as we'll as all
the courts as class legislation.
