The Right Sort of Girl.

The Right Sort of Girl.
But now and then girl breaks
through this. Life comes to her with
its full force She blossoms out like
a gorgeous flower in a field of prlm
daisies through a lover who has died
through a great sorrow, through books
through contact with superior minds,
and then her troubles begin. She can
not live in a world peopled by those
like her. There are too few of them
She must exist in the midst of crowd
of. to her, cackling. insincere woman
kind. and she must, Outwardly at least,
conform to their ways and to their
standards The men she meets ordi-
nari!y are made for the other women
and unless she teaches them all over
again to revise their ideas on woman
they win be no comfort to her. There
are other men, of course, but they,
too. are in the minority, and minorltles
meet more seldom than majorities- So.
YOU see. it's a hard life for her. and her
only hone is in having streak OF
genius somewhere about her-the abil-
itv to raise herself 20 d position where
she can afford to choose her friends and
be herself.
Then there is the third class-the
never TO be developed, the ones the
world terms old maids.

CORRUPTION IN THE A. NJ,
E.. MINISTERY.

There has been this year more
than any other years complaints
of the corruption, immortality and
unministerial acts alleged to have
been committed by ministers
holding the best charges in the
connection. The Chicago Broad
AK speaks of the drunken condi-
ton of Rev. A. J. Carey and some
others, and the way they had
carried on in Milwaukee a few
weeks ago. Then the action of
Fenwick, Graves, Murray and
some of the other Chicago minis
ters, if true is enough to shame
al1respectable, conscientious, God
loving and fearing men. One
minister has just resigned a Chic
ago charge, and in letter to the
public denounces the above men,
toned ministers, the Bishop in
cluded. With a few more pnblic
acts like these it will drive all the
better class and self respecting
class away from the church.
There certainly need be and
ought to be an overhauling.

Burlington Journal, dem: The
main trouble is that the south
will never forgive the negro for
being free nor the north for free
ing him, and the more he be-
comes advanced in the political,
social or financial scale the worse
they dislike him. He is mig
ger" now and he was in1860, and
he will always be ''nigger' at
the south and nothing more. He
has ceased to be a chattel and the
farther he gets from being a
piece Of personal property the less
use they have for him, except IN
some menial capacity. The So
luton Of the race qaestion lies IN
! single sentance. "Give the
negro the legal and natural rights
to which he is entitled" If that
is done there is no race question
any more than there Is a German,
or an Irish, or an English ques-
tion. Denial of natural rights
can not be regulated in any other
way than BY restoring them. All

the negro asks is what belongs to
him and those things he has a
right to possess and enjoy with
out restraint or interference.
We have not space for all of the
good editorials that are published
daily by all of the different papers
but from time to time expect to
publish some, and the above is a
sample of some that are sent
broad cast all over America. It
seems as though the Democrat as
we'll as the Republican papers are
demanding our rights and privi-
leges that were granted to us by
the constitution. So remain
patient, law-abiding, honest aud
energetic, and some day mob
rule will be overthrown, because
good cause or justice will over
come an injustice.

LABOR DAY.

Last Monday, which was the
first Monday in September, was
labor holiday. This day was
made holiday BY organized
labor and made ! legal holiday in
Iowa BY the state legislator;
hence business, both public and
private, is almost suspended as
on the 4th of July and Christmas
day. Organized labor is great
help when properly managed and
equally observed to the masses
and common people. The cause
of labor has often been abused
by being managed by selfish and
irresponsible leaders, men who
did not do or act right and fair.
Then again in their organization
they were color blind and even
some of the unions are to this
day and do not want the colored
colored loborer in the unions,
which of course is not right, fair
or just, but exeginces now force
them to admit the. colored laborer.
Then again many men have been
at the head of organized labor
who did not consider that the
proprietor had any rights, hence
they carried their ideas to ex-
treme. thus injured her cause.
In the last report that labor com-
mission Brigham reported to
Gov. Cummins was very crafty
ing to the friends of organized
labor. In Iowa alone within the
past year there were 433 new
unions and new members to the
number Of 22468 and 16 new
crafts, an increase of 110 per cent
in membership and go per cent in
unions. The parade Monday in
Des Moines was the largest in its
history, nearly 1000 people march
ed, with many colored men in
line. Be fair, act right labor
and you will ultimately succeed.
