LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS AND
APPROPRIATION FOR NEGRO .
EXHIBITION LOST.

:: Last Saturday night the Thirty
eighth general assembly Of the Iowa
legislature adjourned, sine die, and
the appropriation bill asking for
Negro exhibition by the Iowa colored
people, which was referred to the
committee on appropriations in the
senate, and said committee failed to
report it out, and it was lost because
it was not brought in from the
appropriation committee. After hay-
ing passed the rlhouse sof representa-.
tives and sent to the chairman Of
that committee, he misrepresented
facts to the colored men and held the
bill in his committee until the last day
under the promise that he would
bring it up, but he himself was op-
posed to the bill and would not per-
nit it to be brought from that COM
mittee cn the floor Of the senate. If
it had been brought on, the floor of
the senate, from the favorable prom
ises we have had, lit would have car
ried ten to one. Yet through mere
technicality and political chicanery Of
the chairman of said committee and
perhaps some other persons was the
cause of the defeat Of such a worthy
appropriation. '.ts..s..s$ = 80 :,
However, there will be many ex-
hibits from Iowa at this Negro exhi-5
bition to be held in Chicago, ILL.,, next
August, and as other states have
passed similar appropriations to have
exhibits there, it will be well worth
the expense and time Of the Iowa coll
ored people to visit Chicago during
this celebration. T.. #
{ At any rate we can say that the
Iowa commission appointed by the
governor made good presentation Of
their claims and this is the first time
in the history Of Iowa that one branch
of the Iowa legislature ever voted SO
much money to the colored people and
had it passed both branches it would
have been a grand step in the up
building Of worthy race. ..5
