a BIRTHDAY SURPRISE PARTY.

It is very unusual that one member
Of q family can plan and arrange q
party for another member Of the same
family without their knowledge, espe-
cially on ones birthday. yet the good
wife Of MI. r. N. Hyde, assisted by
her children, planned birthday sur
prise party on her husband last FRI
day evening, October 8. Mrs. Hyde
had invited about thirty gentlemen
friends OF Mr.. Hyde's to their home at
8 o'clock. Nearly all complied with
their presence. Then Mrs. Hyde tele-
phoned her husband that there was a
man at the house waiting for him to
come up and figure on big carpet
Job. He left his down town place Of
business and drove up to his house
and walked In, to behold his house full
OF his associates. To say that he was
surprised was mild term. He was
compelled to put his horse up and
stay awhile. a very pleasant and en-.
joyable time goes without saying. Mr..
Henry Clay in q neat speech present
ed Mr.. Hyde with beautiful rocking
chair as a token Of remembrance, then
elected him mayor OF Des Moines and
called j. Il. Thompson to read . list
OF the appointed officers thatshe must
appoint. Miss Gertrude Hyde present

PRINCIPLES.

AS the time to hold our annual
election is only a few weeks off,
which is Tuesday Nov. 3, it be-
comes our duty to inform the
voter of the time and to urge up
on him the necessity Of exercising
his franchise. In democratic
form Of government the people are
the sovereign power and the ex-
preston Of their will is usually
carried out; therefore it is the
plain, duty of.each qualified elec-
tor to exercise this privilege grant
ed him, that is why we hold an
election each year to ascertain the
wish Of a majority Of the people;
hence every loyal and good citizen
sosveit tosthe= government to go to
the polls and express his sovereign
power. This year as of usual
years the two old parties are ask
ing your suffrage. It is your
duty to ask the reason for sup
porting one party in preference
of the other; to ascertain the
principles Of each party and to
read the past history Of both
parties. Study the times and
condition Of affairs under each
party when they were in power,
then with your honest, free, ur1-
bias Judgment choose the party
that has done the most to develop
and advance our country. To
my mind there could be but one
answer. Experience is 4 dear

EDITORIALS.
TRO SENT 70 JAIL
FOR Disturbing Booker tvAslis
lngton's Meeting.

Last week Messrs. Henry n.
Trotter, editor Of The Bostcn
Guardian, Granville Martin and
Bernard Martin, after ! hotly
contested trial, the latter was
acquitted but the jury found the
other two men guilty Of disturb.
ing or assisting in disturbing :
meeting last July, in which Book
er T. Washington was addressing.
While we, living at this distance,
do not know the real facts, neith-
er do we wish to enter either side,
but the disturbance was to be
much regretted, yet we think in
= free country like ours any man
has right to ask questions OF
even disagree and express his
thoughts without censure. The
questions that they wished to ask
that night are as follows: So
read them and judge for yourself.
l. In your letter to Montgomery Ad-
vertiser Nov. q you said: Every re-
vised constitution throughout the
southern states has put : premium. mp
intelligence, ownership of property,
thrift and character" Did you not
thereby indorse the disfranchisement
OF ourrace?
2. In your speech tefore the Gem
tury club here in March you said:
s"Those are most truly free who have
passed the most discipline" Are you
not actually upholding oppress,ng our
race Is = good thing for ua, advocating
.peonsge2 sss
$ : Again. you say: BLACK men must
distinguish between tho freedom that
10 forced and the freedom that is the
result of struggle and sel.sacriflce. =
D. you mean that the Negro should
expect less from his freedom than the
white man from his?
4. When you said: '.It was not %
important whether the Negro was in
the interior car Us whether there wss
In that car superioS msn not : beast !. :
didyou not minimize the outrage Of
the insnltinR Jim-crow car discrimi.
nation and justify II by the '.bestiai.
ity" Of the Negro.
S. In an interview with the Wash.
ington Post, ,June IS, aa to whether
the Negro should insist on his ballot,
you are quoted as saying: "As is well
known, held that no people in the
same economic and educational condi-
ton as the masses Of the black peg
pie Of the south should make politics
matter of the first importance in
with their develooment. y
Do you not know that the ballot is the
only self-protection for any class Of
people in this country?
8. In view of the fact that you are
understood to be unwilling to insist
upon the Negro having his every right
(both civic and political). would it not
be . calamity 1T this juncture to make
you OUT leader?
Z. Don't you know you would help
the race more by exposing the new
form Of slavery just outside the gates
Of Tuskegee than BY preaching sub.
mission.
g. Can . man make successful
educator and politician at the same
time? = a

race Is to get under your leadership?
