Jennie Jackson, who was with her

High moral character is as necessary
and is as valuable an asset in the
business world as in private life. One
cannot reach the highest success in

IS not clean. Habitual immortality

\ COLORED MANS TRIBUTE.

\ COLORED MANS 1KIBO Z.
In the Buxton Gazette this week,
A.. l. DeMond, the editor, has the fol-
lowing article which he terms a "col-
ored mans tribute to Senator Alli-
som:
The death of Senator Allison at his
home inDubuque on last Tuesday aft
crnoon has removed from earthly
scenes Iowa's most prominent states
man during the last two score years
of the nations history. The recent
campaign through which he passed
successfully and out of which he came
triumphantly served to bring before
the present generation something OF
his admirable qualities and the splen-
did record he had made in the public
service. In the lime light of heated
campaign criticism that beat upon
him for months there was nothing
that could mar his honorable career,
cause one of his followers to blush
with shame, or make the warm affect
ton of a devoted commonwealth to
! grow cold.
He was a Republican who will be
missed in the councils, the leadership
and the ranks of the party whose
youth ran parallel with his own, and
whose heroic moral heroism found
faithful embodiment in his own life.
He was a statesman whose grasp of
| the great problems of state made him
the adviser of presidents.
He was a friend of the black man.
Without spectacular display he stood
for the rights Of all men. He helped
to blot out the Fugitive Slave law,
nominate Abraham Lincoln, have the
black mans bill of rights set as a
level in the constitution of the ma
ton, and we are glad that he did moi
| die until he had a chance to see the
colored men of Iowa show their ap-
probation of his friendship for then
and their race by standing loyalty by
him in the last contest in which h'
ever called for support from his fel
low citizens.
We will mourn his loss and homo
: his memory, for he belonged to tn
few remaining members of the CRANE
5 old guard that stood true as gol'
5 amid the fiery conflicts of the civi
j war. Ours will be the smallest flow
Z. er cast upon his casket but it will b
e fragrant with the affection Of a
t emancipated people.
