Washington, Dec. 49, The senate

reported Representative Moody's bill
proposing to give to settlers on The
Dalles military wagon road lands and
upon railroad lands, whose entries we're

the lands settled upon were part of
the public domain, but which were af-

be private lands, the right to credit for
residence upon new homestead for
time equal to the time they resided on
their original tract, except that each
such settler must live at least one year
on his new homestead. There is now
little doubt that the bill will finally

country exactly what is meant by a
peaceful blockade
Although it has not been put into
public expression. this government
contends tnat there is no such thing
as peaceful blockade" If a state
of war does not exist this government
will contend, at the proper time, that
United States ships must be allowed
to pass.
The test will come when the Red D.
Line steamer Caracas arrives at La
Guayra, probably next Saturday. If
that ship goes through, as it is ex-
pected it will, other ships from other
nations will also demand to 60
through, and the peaceful blockade"
will become farce.
If Germany insists on it's right to
blockade peaceably and refuse to let
American ships through, then Adj

ships through the German and English

SE'I,14 RATE KIRRIAGk IN
10 VA.

What think you proud free sons
of Iowa? That a man supposed
to be representative, by the
name of Anderson of Warren
county, has the unmitiga ting
gall, inbucd by Southern instinct t
or by race hatred, has introduced
a bill in the Iowa legislature to
prohibit the inter-1narriage of the
white and Colored races in this
state. We were much surprised
at the introduction of such a bill.
There is no necessity for such a
a bill, any more than Jim
crow car bill. TO prevent inter-
marriage of races will be an utter
impossibility SO long as the races
are allowed to live together, and
it is folly for a person to try to
legislate against the persons
whom they must associate with,
as it is to lcgislate the thing that
You must drink. IF the narrow
representative from Warren fears
his children or deCendents may
become mixed with Afro-A,neri-
can blood, it would be far better
and safer for this being to pack
his grip and take his decendent is
to some lonely isle, for colored
people are in all civilized coun-
tries and principalities. While
we as a race may deplore the in
ter-mi1gling or inter-marring of
races, we want to assure the pub
lie that we as a race do not seek
social equality or social recogni-
tion nor inter-marrying, for we
| criticised and claim the greatest
error that our much beloved Hon
Frederick Douglas made was tC
marry a white woman. But tC
seek race or class legislation is
something that progressive anc
{ free Iowa cannot afford to do

POOR SOUTH, VIVA II
NEXT?

1t is indeed amusing to Sc G
what folly and silly things that
the SO called educated class of
white people are seeking to do in
the South. The latest is action
taken by some of the citizens of
Louisville, Ky, to prevent the
opera houses from allowing Uncle
Toms Cabin to be played in the
city. They also are preparing
to petition the Legislature to pass
a bill which will prohibit the
play from being played in their
state. Think of such a fimsy,
harrow prejudiced people. Why
you may prohibit the production
i'll the commonwealth of Kentucky
but it has accomplished its object
a long time ago, and will be more
eagerly read as the ages come.
They say they do not always
wish to see their by-gone SINS pa
radcd. It is true that men and
races do not like to hear of their
own crimes and iniquities. Old
Nero did not like to hear of his
atrocious crimes, Brutus shudder-
ed at his terrible deed. The South
is performing deeds of crime more
terrible and more atrocious today
IN ly1ching and numbering inno-
cent colored people then the crime
Uncle Tom depict. Cease your
SHINING, purge yourself of your
iniquities or else your fate may
be like the ancient cities of Sodom
and Gomorrah.

BE CAREFUL WHO YOU
ASSOCIATE WITH


There are a few young men who
have blowed into our city in the last
few months, claiming different cities
as their homes, and it is an easy
ma tier, after being in their presence
for few minuets, to tell what voca-
ton they follow for a living. These
same people have enough nerve to call
at the homes of our best people and
attempt to pose as a gentleman, and
some OF our young girls will entertain
such persons. 1t is time that we
should stop mingling with such people,
because if you continue. the same
germs that infest their character will
become incested into yours. SO don't
associate with every one that has a
smooth tongue and wears good clothes
and spends money free. Remember
that it requires more than that for a
good character.
