NATIONAL HOME
FOR MASONS.
Recommendation of PastGrand
Master James Washington
at the Meeting of United
Grand Lodge*
James Washington and T. 11. Sturgls
have returned from Des Moines, where
they attended a meeting of the United
Grand lodge, colored, A. F. A. M. of
Iowa and its jurisdictions. Mr. Wash
ington retired from the office of grand
master, which he has held the past
year. In his annual report Mr. Wash
ington presented a plan for the estab
lishment of a national home and in
dustrial school for the widows and
orphans of members. His plan has
been approved by twenty-five grand
masters, including the grand master of
the grand lodge of Liberia on the west
coast of Africa. In his official report
to the lodge Mr. Washington unfolded
his plan as follows:
"My plan is to call all the grand
masters of America together in a con
ference that we may be able to get
closer in toueli and that our work may
become more uniform so that we may
organize and establish a national
home and industrial school for the
widows and orphans. While there are
some jurisdictions which are able to do
that in a degree, there are others that
are so small that It is impossible for
them to do so. So if we had a nation
al home these jurisdictions could be
taken care of. According to the re
port of iS97 we have 54,000 colored
Masons in America, an assessment of
20 cents each would rais an amount of
$10,000 which would enable us in the
course of four years to build a large
building and have plenty of land to
answer our purpose."—Sioux City

alter supper they formed a line and
marched by two's to the depot preced
ed by Morton's Drum corps where
need nearly 2,000 people awaited them about
1500 were colored, some cheered, some
cried and some fainted. It was
rather sad scene to see them, bidding
the last sad farewell and good by, to
hear the sweet voice of eternal love as
mothers and fathers part from tlieir
sons, sweethearts from lovers and wives
from husbands probably never again to
meet: the scene was indeed a memora

COLORED MAN IN POLI
TICS IN IOWA.
What is Our Status and What
Measure
is
Used to De­
termine it?
In Iowa the political luminaries are but
few, yet many have striven to reach a
prominent place in political oouncil of the
Democratic and redublican party, alter
reaching a certain height they fail to go
higher, there must certainly be some
cause for it. We think there are several
causes one is that we are not united upon
anyone point in issue then again our
leaders try to push themselves to rapidly
to suit the conservative element of both
colored and white, then again unlit men
of our race forge themselves on a oom
mumty, then again we are sorry to say
that a majority of the white men ot Iowa
are color prejudice and do nob wish to
vote for a colored man at all, as was re
cently demonstrated in Mahaska county.
In this county both parties had a chance
to nominate a colored man on their ticket
but their convention have come and gone
and the oolored man is left with nothing
except the empty honors of a large com
plimentary vote iu the convention.
Editor Geo. E. Taylor an able editor a
bright man, intellectually and a hard
democratio worker, was defeated for
nomination of County Clerk by only a
few votes. Attorney Geo, H. Woodson
who has been in Mahaska county only
a few years yet no one doubted his lergle
ability and qualifications and his republi
canism, yet he felt short twenty votes to
give him the republican nomination for
County Attorney. We must as a race de
fend our own candidates and continually
make those demands from year to year.
Mrs. E. T. lianks, is some better at
this writeing, she rested very well last
night.
Our
soldier boys has gone into camp.

A SOLDIER, For Railroad Commissioner.
iff
J-
We take pleasure in announcing* .it name of Colonel J. D. Palmer for
railroad commissioner for the short term, to fill the unexpired term of Hon.
C. L. Davidson, recently deceased. Col. Palmer was born in Pennsylvania,
in 1839 came with his parents to Iowa in 1 and when the war broke out
he was but a youth, vet he volunteered his service, and enlisted in Company
Eighth lowa volunteer infantry, and was engaged in some of the hardest
battles of the war, He was shot through the brest at the battle of Sliiloh and
was taken a prisoner, but soon escaped and was discharged on account of dis
ability. After his wound had fully healed he returned and joined Company
A of the Twenty-fifth Iowa, and by.his gallantry and bravery at Vicksburg he
was promoted to Lieut. Colonel: he was also iu the famous march to the sea.
At the close of the war he settled down on his farm in Washington county,
where he has remained every since, except the times when he was called to
public offices. He served two terms as county auditor and several terms in
the state senate, where lie was considered one cf the ablest sonators in the
senate. Col. Palmer eoincs from a staunch republican family and has been a
hard working republican all his life he is a special friend to the colored race
and its progress, and if nominaten will make an ideal railroad commissioner.
He is fair minded, level headed, and thoroughly familiar with the railroad
problems of this state. Governor Shaw appointed him last spring to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Davidson, and his work as commissioner
is now before the people and is highly satisfactory in every way. He is care,
ful, painstaking and punctual, with his business, and deserves the support of
his party.

Benten Harbor and St. Joe it is call
ed, are two lovely twin cities surrond
ed by lovely shade trees and on a hill
overlooking the great:Lake Michigan,
you can stand on the Bluffs at St.
Joseph, and look about you for miles
are broad sheets of water. There are
only two denominations of churches in
these two cities, the Methodist and
Baptist, as there are no colored people
in Benton Harbor, St. Joe has only
one church and that is a Methodist,
hence they are term the stuck up peo
ple." On inquiring of a well known
sister of the Baptist church aboutt
some of the people in St. oseph she
replied, "Well I do not no much abont
the colored people in St. Joe because
they are so( stuck up, the people in
Benton Harbor do not go over there".
I found them very courteous and re
fined, but it is to be deplored that in
all of these smaller Michigan towns
you can find but a very few young men
that are realy fit for any business life
those that have a tendency to soar
above the common plains of life, seek
and larger cities, hence you seldom
find any but a loafing class in the
smaller places now and then you will
meet a bright young man.
Niles is a queer little town of about
000 inhabitants, it is also shaded with
beautiful trees, situated on the St.
Joseph river, but it is ancient aciord
ing to its size and age there is nothing
there to show a progressive people at
all it is simply a1place to sleep in. I
stop at an old gentleman's house by
the name of T. J. Jones the only avail
able place I could get to stop at for a
day, as Mr. Jones saw fit to go to an
Odd Fellow entertainment and also
Mrs. Jones. I had to go also regardless
of benig very much tired out and sleepy
as I was a stranger to Mr. Jones he
did not know whether his house would
be tnere or not when he return, if I
was left alone so tired. and worn out

Jones saw fit to go home. I will not
attempt to tell you of my trip ten miles

Town and found it to be only a Town

ture "Ten miles in the woods." South
Bend Ind. is the city of plows and
wagons, this is the place where Studa
Baker's famous wagons and carriage
factory stands the largest in the world
also the Oliver Plow Companies Piant
it would take two columns to bescribe
their two tremendous plants where
they employ from two-thousand to
twenty-five hundred men it is the
most progressive little city that I hare
had the pleasure of seeing with its
stately public buildings and its lovely
shade trees it is an ideal town of hap
py homes there are only two colored
churches here, methodist and Bap

very well to do.

TROBLES AND TRIALS
I am all alone at a meal time,
Not a sound nor a step do
I
hear,
And I feel as if any thing could cheer
me
If the voice of a child I could hear*.
It seems like all have forsaken me,
Not even a voice do I hear,
But God's tender mercy shines over ine
And some time his voice I shall hear*
So don't get forsaken dear friends,
And think not a friend in ttlie world
you have got,
But simply put your faith in Jesus
And he wiil carry you safe through
storm.
O many a time I have felt discouraged*
And I felt like alone I should be.
And I finally felt so discouraged
That it seemed almost dishearten
for me.
But just as I am about to finish,
I see by the lamp light so clear,
That all depends upon Jesus,
When no other friend is so dear.
