THE CITY ELECTION.

Last. Monday municipal cleo
tions was held in every city and
incorporated town in Iowa, to
select men to govern the city or
town for the next two years.
There were the usual republican
victories, except in few instances
where local interest entered into
the contest. The only great sur
prises were in Council Bluffs and
Sioux City which elected demo-
crat mayor and democratic coun-
Gil, of course local interest entered
in these contests. In our city
the republicans won a clean
sweep by about two or three
thousands plurality, except the
police judge, Mr.. iris, who was
defeated by Mr.. Mathis a demo-
crat, by about 1000 majority,
which met our approval. For the
BYsrANDER owed Mr.. iris moth
ing, neither did the republican
party; for if the republican party
was made up or ccntroled by such
narrow minded, prejudiced men
as Mr.. iris we would sever our
connection with it. Mr.. iris re-
fused to marry white woman
and colored man, giving as his
reason that he did not think it
right. While we do not tolerate
the intermarriage of the two
races, yet we do not want any
laws against it, and as there is
no law against it in Iowa we
want. the public officers to per-
form their sworn duty and fulfill
their Office xas required by law.
The successful Omcers are as
follows:
Mayor, George Mattern; city
auditor. John Lucas; city treasur-
er, Harry Gross; city attorney,
w. H. Bremner; city engineer.
C. w. Budd; alderman West Des

John Myrely; second Ward, A. L.

fourth ward, Eugene Van Dyke;
fifth ward, C. H. Christy; sixth

John Farley.

MT. PLEASANT NOTES.

The entertainment given at the. A. M.
E. church by the Ladies' Sewing Circle
was a success in every way. A very nice
sum Of money was raised, which was
turned over to the trustees. Too much
credit cannot be given the ladies for the
valuable assistance they have given to the
different branches of the church.
Prof Scruggs, president of the Western
college at Macon. Mo-, delivered an ad
dress on the race problem at the Baptist

heard him were indeed fortunate.
J. Prof Scruggs is a man of unusual
intellectual ability and holds the attention
Of his audience from start to finish. A
liberal Offering was given to assist the
college.
The people Of Mt, Pleasant quite agree
with Prof. Scruggs in that, the elevation
Of the Negro depends upon his education
in all branches.

Washington are men we fear who
have never made a success of
their own business or their ideas
and are simply jealous of Mr..
Washington's extreme popularity
and their littleness. In brief Mr..
Washington's ideas and plans are
in practice and are productive of
much good. His great institu-
ton is sufficient proof of his plans
being successful. Let US all do
more hard good work like him
for the uplifting and upbuilding
of our race, and do less criticizing
and denouncing one another.

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON'S
CRITICS.

There has been many news
papers published by our own race
criticising Booker Washington's
industrial ideas, and even many
of the Methodist ministers have
preached sermons denouncing Mr..
Washington's theory. We think
those newspapers and ministers
are unjust1y denouncing Mr..
Washington. They misrepresent
him and his theory. In another
article we print an editorial from
Geo. E. Roberts, commissioner Of
the u. S. mint. In his editorial
he gives the true Booker T.
Washington idea. Mr.. Washing
ton has never uttered publicly or
maintained that industrial educa-
ion was the only panacea for our
race and they should receive no
higher education. In fact his
own acts negative that represen-
tation, in as much as he is send
ing his two children to the higher
institutions Of learning, but only
after they had good foundation
and industrial training. Than
if able strive higher. Mr.. Wash
ington has always been true
friend to his race simply because
he does not condemn the white
race in each speech for their cruel
treatment, does not necessarily
place him against the race. In
fact it is often best not to con-.
tinually howl about conditions,
but to try ourselves to make con-
ditions better by our own example.
What the race needs is more hard
honest work and labor, and less
speeches or condem1ing resolu-
tions, results is what will tell.
