PLEADS FOR HIS RACE.

The address delivered by Book
er T. Washington a few days
ago at Chicago, will do much to
create a more favorable sentiment
toward the people Of his race,
and will arouse an ambition that
will encourage saving and the
securing of property. Both
races need to change in their
modes Of thinking and living,
and Mr.. Washington recognizes
that the work of uplifting the
race is not to be done alone by
the whites. He urges the race
to show their ability to secure
land and their Willingness to
cultivate it. Intelligent, indust-
rious effort to produce something

Something has already been
accomplished according to the
figures which Mr.. Washington
cites from the last census returns
of 1890, which showed that the
Negroes owned 12O,738 farms.
Last year the colored people of
Georgia alone paid taxes on $14,-
100000 worth Of property, and
owned 100000 acres of land.
The colored people are becoming
home-owners 19 per cent of them
owning the houses in which they
live.
The industrial education does
more to fit the young people for
business. Mr.. Washington con
tends that industrial training
develops mental and normal
strength of all his students.

COLORED ASPIRANTS FOR LEG1S-
LATINE PLACES.

| 1t is very unfortunate and very
unprogressive for the educated col
ored lady or gentleman not to have
at least one of their number either
a member of the legislature or even
to have one of them aspiring to some
clerical position this year as we have
in the past. Some years ago we had
4 colored man as assistant secretary,
later John d. Reeler, of this city,
was elected file clerk of the house.
The next session witnessed the most
colored clerks ever known at one
session. III. r. Wright of MARSHALL
town defeated John d. Reeler and
John l.. Thompson was elected file
clerk in the senate. The next session
Wright and Thompson were candi-
dates for reelection. Wright was
defeated. Thompson elected, also re-
elected, for special code revision ses-
sion. Then the next session Wood
son was q candidate to succeed
Thompson. He was defeated by one
vote, and since that time no other
colored man has even asked for Il
clerical place. While the minor
places are all right, the race ought
to demand better recognition in
higher places. The candidates this
year for the senate cloak room are
JEFF Logan of Des Moines and p. S.
Irwin of Charlton, VIM. Baily of OF
tumwa and Forest White of
Muscatine. For the house are
r. N. Hyde and III. McCraven of Des
Moines, Ross of Sioux City, N.
Middleton of Webster City, Fred
Wright Of Davenport and Rev. Carter
of Charlton.
