A CHALLENGE 70 TlLLMAN.
Iowa Negro Asks South Carolina Sen
ator for Joint Debate.


Special to Times-Republican.
Clinton. Aug. Pr. D. Smith. the
colored orator and scholar of this city,
who boasts of being college graduate,
has issued a challenge to Senator Till
man, of South Carolina, for a joint
discussion of the race question. In a
speech delivered recently at Marion
cite, Wis, Tillman made some remarks
derogatory to the negro, to which
Smith takes exceptions. In his reply to
Mr.. Smiths challenge, Senator Tillman
says:
81 am not going up and down the
country making addresses for fun, but
if any respectable association In your
own state or anywhere else. will ar
range for joint discussion and pay
my regular fee, shall have no objec-
ton.
at presume. of course, that you are a
white man, because would not care to
! engage in debate with a person of
color because from the very nature of
the discussion the antagonism and
caste feeling which lies at the bottom
of the whole subject, would make such
discussion improbable and unpleas-
ant"
In replying Mr.. Smith said:
II am sorry to learn you draw the
color line. You seem to trample down a
race whose poverty and misfortune has
made you rich. 1 admit the members
of my race are not all perfect, but if
you good people, who stole and brought
us here, had spent as much time in
trying to elevate US since 1919, we
would be the grandest, noblest race on
the face of the sarth.
"Pardon me, good Senator Tillman,
but place yourself and race in the po-
sition of myself and race and think
how you would like it. Prove your
4 self worthy of being the ruler and lead
er of a race ere you question our
rights"

Wreck on c. l.& p.

Special to TimeS-Republican.
Iowa Falls Aug. PA wreck on the
Chicago. Iowa & Dakota road yester-
day delayed traffic nearly all day. The
south-bound accommodation train,
which leaves here at $40 in the morn
ing, had hardly passed the yard limits
and was nearing the Illinois Central
crossing, when three cars in the middle
of the train left the track. It is thought
the heavy rains Saturday night and
Sunday morning undermined the track,
and as this was the first train over the
track since the rains that the weight OF
the train spread the track and caused
the wreck, which delayed traffic most OF
the day. No one was injured, as the
rear coach did not leave the track, the
engine and one car also passing the
weak point in the track safely.

Mystery, at pouds.

Douds, Aug. 27-Ethel Morrow,
daughter OF Scott Morrow, who at press
ent is in Kansas. and whose wife is
living near this place, is dead, under
what the citizens of this community
considered very suspicious circum-
stances. Consequently mocmittee no.
titled the proper authorities and cor
oner's inquest was held Sunday. A post
n1ortemsexamination held by Drs. Saw
yer. of Eldon; McC lure.sof this place.
HEREFORD, OF Leando. and. Morris. the
coroner, revealed the fact that criminal
intercourse with the girl, whose age is
about ten years, had caused her death.
Other evidence including his own state
ment showed that the child had been
brought from Kansas alone with man
in a road wagon and had been on the
road about two weeks, arriving here the
night before she died. In spite of the
evidence of the examining physicians
the jury returned a verdict that de-
ceased's death was caused by inflama-
ton of the bowels and vagina, and did
not cite any further cause or conclu-
sions.
Great Indignation is expressed by
many at the verdict, and it is alleged
the county attorney after hearing the
evidence was so confident of different
verdict that preparations were made to
issue a warrant for an arrest as soon
as the verdict was returned.

HOUSE TALKS
ABOUT TAXATION
Robertson Has Little Respect for
the County Bill and
Says So.
1890, Observation-Disclosures

The session extension came up in the
House this morning, Representative
Beckley introducing a resolution ask
ing that the Governor extend the seS-
sion to the full limit of the law. The
resolution quoted extensively from the
Organic Act, reading as follows:
Whereas, section 43 of the Organic Act
of this Territory provides among other
things that each session of the Legis-
lature shall continue not longer than
sixty days, excluding Sundays and holt
days; and,
Whereas, there remain but few session
days in which to complete the work of
this Legislature; and,
Whereas, section So of the said Act
makes it the duty of this First Legisla-
ture to s'reapportion the membership in
the Senate and House of Representatives
among the Senatorial and Representa-
tive districts upon the basis of the pop
ulation in each of said districts who are
citizens of the Territory; and,
Whereas. the Superintendent of the
Twelfth Census has not, so far as this
Legislature has been advised, issued the
information that is required in order to
comply with the provisions of said Sec
ton So; and,
Whereas, section IS of said Organic
Act provides in reference to the election
of a Delegate to the House of Repre-
sentatives of the United States the
times, places and manner of holding
elections shall be as fixed by law; and,
Whereas, said section So also contains
the following provision, to wit: Nor
shall spirituous or intoxicating liquors
be sold, except under such regulations
and restrictions as the Territorial Leg
islature shall PROVIDE; and,
Whereas section 66 sal rra-
vides that the Legislature may create
counties and towns and city municipali-
ties within the Territory of Hawaii and
provide for the government thereof;
and,
whereas, the annexation of these ISL
ands to the United States has deprived
the Government of these Islands of
large portion of the revenue by the
transfer to the National Government of
the postoffice and customs bureau and
otherwise, thereby necessitating a COM
plete revision of the revenue and taxa
ton laws in order to provide for the
needs of a government situated as this
Territory is at the crossroads of the
Pacific, and whose people have attained
a high standard in commerce, education
and political government since the or
ganization of the First Legislature of
the Islands In 1S40 and a gradual intro
duction and extension of the American
public school system to a degree of eff
cheney sufficient to rank Hawaiis per-
centage of illiteracy as among the low
est of any State or Territory Of this
Union; and.
Whereas, notwithstanding the fact
that the Islands now comprising this
ment continuously for over sixty years,

privilege embodied In the Constitution,
and regarded by all American citizens
as an inalienable right; and,
Whereas, all the political parties Of the
Territory of Hawaii are pledged to the
extension Of American forms of govern
ment to this Territory, and have, prior
to the meeting of this Legislature, APP
pointed commissions for the purpose of
drafting bills to be submitted to the Leg
islature providing for city or county
government, or both; and,
Whereas, the work of these commits
sions has been presented to the Legisla-
ture in the form of bills, which bills rep
resent an enormous expenditure of time
and labor in creating a general munich
pal charter and in re-rnodelling the
charters of various American cities, es-
pecially those of Seatue, San Francisco
