Elegant Music and. Eloquent Ora
tiOnS.

Last Tuesday evening, January l.,
Moines met at Webster's hall to OBJ
serve the 37th emancipation anniver-
sary. A very large crowd was out.
The committee which had this in
charge was j. B. Rush, j. II. Nixon,
j. H. Long, and the success of it was
due to each one, and especial men
tion of the hard work that Attorney
j. B. Rush done for it's success. Our
brass band, "The Brotherhood" was
out and gave great surprise pres
ent in the excellent manner in which
they played their pieces, as the band
has only been organized Il few
months. Their leader, Mr.. F. G. Cog
gins, is one of the best musicians in
the state and at one time was leader
of he famous Muchakinock band.
Y Mayfower Mandolin Quartette
also furnished excellent music. Miss
Zella Davis, our popular young girl,
read the emancipation proclamation,
to the delight of all. Mr.. j. II. Nixon
was master of ceremonies and intro
duced John L. Thompson, who held
the crowded house in wonder for
nearly an hour with his history sta
tistics, trials and achievements of the
colored race. Next introduced was
Mrs. L. J. Phillips, who by her pow
er, eloquence and culture won many
applauses from the vast audience
She is perhaps one of the best lady
orators that ever spoke before Des

OUR NATAL DAY..

Each New Year brings greet

it is our birthday, but more es-
pecially ought we to rejoice tor
this New Years day just passed
for it marks an epoch in the his

and second, because it is the first
century year that our race has
been free and permitted to per-
ticipate in the 10th century cele-
bration. On last Tuesday, 81
years ago, our beloved martyred
president broke the shacke1s OF
slavery from nearly 1000, 900
human beings, and bade them to
90 out into the world as freemen
to paddle their own canoe. They
accepted the long looked for ul-
timatum and how we'll they have
padded their own canoe can only
be told to the world by our ad'
vancement and achievement II

Within only five years after eman'
cipation our race had represen'
tative in the United States Senate.

master. Since then we have had
q members in the Congress OF
the United States. One Lleuten-
ant Governor, 249 colleges, Uni
versities and academies, nearly
500 physicians. In brief you can
meet and see colored professional
men in every state and city IN the
United States. Give our race 1OC
years more then turn on the sarch-
light of progress. We should
celebrate each New Years day for
it is the real natal day for the

convention on Friday afternoon, De-
cember %, by Prof. w. II. Council,
president of the State Normal and
Industrial School in Normal, Ala
bama, on the subject, "The Negro AS
He Is" was one Of the ablest presen-
tations of the conditions of the Ne
gro that ever was made in Des
Moines, in my Judgment. After very
pointedly describing the Negro as the
principal laborer of the south and
contrasting his advantages for liveli.
hood with that of the white man,
stating that in the very face of nu-
merous disadvantages against him, Oh
account of his black skin, that no
other race in the world, as far as his
tory shows, has made half the adj
vancement that the black man has
in all of the avocationS of American
life, and that in course of time the
differences that now exist between
the southern white man and the
southern black man will De peaceably
and wisely settled by lney them
selves. He truthfully held that the
northern white man by not being
thrown in position to come in con-
tact with the Negro like the south
ern white man. he has failed to learn
both sides of the Negroes condition.
He has learned the bad side through
avaricious and passionate newspaper
publications in many instances. He
don't know that the criminal Negro
does not represent but about 25 per
cent of the real Negro. and that Is
per cent are Industrious and have as
high regard for the laws of their
country and the community where
they reside as any one. Prof. Coun-
Gil further made it very clear that
the Negro must stop trying to edu-
cate himself to be white man, for
with all of his efforts in that direc-
tion he is now finding that as one
of the impossiblities that he never
can change. He said when the time
came that the Negro would learn to
educate himself to be great black
man or a great black woman, and not
a white man or d white woman. He
will then find that many of the oh.
stacles that is now in his way will be
removed. His pointed representation

4 BISHOP RESIGNS.

The report reached this office a
day or two ago that Bishop IL.
M. Turner, the senior bishop OF
the A. M. E. church and presl-
dent of the college of bishops, has
resigned on account of some disa-
greement with his assistants on
the board of bishops, which are
holding their session in Atlanta,
Ca, this week. It is understood
that the disagreement grew out
of the appointment that some Of
the bishops received at the last
general conference in May, at
Columbus. We are not advised
as to all the details that lead uI
to this disagreement, but we dc
believe our senior bishop is max
ing a mistake, and we trust that
he will soon see the error of his
way and return to his associates
and his church that has made
him what he is. The church ha:
seen fit to honor him more thar
she has others who we're hi
equals. Our senior bishop shoult
remember that the devotion h
received from his people are no
given to many men, and for hin
to want to dictate the entir
policy of the church is a mistake
