.r PROSPECTUS
OF THE
IOWA CAPITAL REPORTER,

THE subscribers, having purchased the above nam
ed establishment and put it in entire dress,
will in future conduct it jointly Editors and Pro-
prietsrs, under the firm of PALMER & PAUL.
The REPORTER will, as heretofore, be mainly de-
voted to the PRONUNCIATION of sound Democratic doc
trlnes and the advocacy of corresponding measures
of State and National policy. These measures
though legitimaely resulting from changing,
immutable principles-we believe should still be, as
they ever have been, PROGRESSIVE in their charac-
ter having for their ultimate object the equalization
both of the benefits and burthens of government
We can conceive no means more likely to hasten
the accomplishment of these grand objects, than
through vigorous support of the enlightened, just
and liberal, Free Trade, Hard-money and other lead
ing measures of policy advocated by the great DEM
ocratic party. AS long party shall adhere to
and enforce these, and principles and measures SIM
liar IN their character and tendency, so long do
expect to stand by it, and no longer. Furthermore
we consider ourselves pledged to the support of in
dlvldual members of our party-brought out in con-
formity to its established customs, for stations Of
honor or proft-only long they truly reflect its
principles and show disposition to carry out its
measures and conform to its established usages.
The vital Importance to party, especially at the
present crisis, of straight forward, fearless and
efficient champion of its cause and exponent of its
principles at the seat of State government, must, we
are persuaded, be too well understood and appreci
ated, to require any thing more than bare alusion
to 1t on this occasion. We are now on the eve of
State and Presidential election in both of which
the democracy or Iowa VIII. besides deciding
various other subjects of vast importance to as
people, be called upon to stand by and support the
government in the measures which it has so vgor-
ously adopted and successfully carried into
ton for sustaining the honor of the country against
its enemies abroad, aided and comforted by nglor-
Gus, lily disguised and tratrous parZans at home.
We believe that we shall not be disappointed in
our expectations that the warm hearted Democracy
of Iowa will evnCe their appreciation of the consid
erations here presented, by their efficient aid and
support.
While the above will be the leading objects for
which shall labor. the REPORTER will devote it
self, with what of energy its conductors can bring to
the task, to the advocacy of such measures of i'm
provement in young and fiourishing Iowa, as, in
their opinion, shall promise to be most conducive to
the happiness and prosperity of her citizens at large
News and Observation-Disclosures and Foreign

OBITUARY ELoaUENcE.--A CORES
pendent of the Burlington Free Press has
furnished to that journal the following
verbatim report Of funeral discourse
which he says he heard delivered in the
Florida House Of Representatives The
duty Of making it was voluntarily assum-
ed, and even insisted OH, by the speaker,
to the no small wonder of the House, his
utter incompetency being notorious:
'Mr. Speaker:-sir-Our fellow-citi-
zen, Mr.. Silas Higgins, who was lately
member of this branch Of the Legislature,
is dead, and he died yesterday inthe fore
noon. He had the brown-creaters,
bronchitis he meant, suppose, and was
an uncommon individual. His character
was good up to the time of his death, and
he never lost his voice. He was fily-six
years old, and was taken sick before he
died at his boarding house where board
can be had for a dollar and seventy-five
cents a week, washing and lights includ-
ed. He was an ingenious creatur, and in
the early part of his life had father and
mother. He was an officer in our State
Militia, since the last war; and his uncle,
Timothy Higgins belonged to the Rcvolu-
tionary war, and was commissioned as
Lieutenant, by Gen. Washington, first
President and Commander-in-chief of the
Army and Navy ofthe United States, who
died at Mount Vernon, deeply lamented
by large circle of friends, on the l4th of
December 1873, or Whereabouts, and bur-
ried, soon after bis death, with military
honors, and several guns were burst in
firing salutes.
Sir, Mr., Speaker-Gen. Washington
presided over the great continental Srn-
hedrim and political meeting that formed
our constitution, and he was indeed a great
and good man. He was first in war, first
first i'll peace, and firstin the hearts of his
countrymen, and though he was in favor of
the \. S. Bank, he was friend ofeduca-
ton, aud from what he said in his farewell
address, have no doubt lie would have
voted for the tariff Of 1916, il he had been
alive and hadn't a died some time before
hand. His death was considered as rather
premature, on account of its being brought
on by an ordinary cold. Now, Mir. Speak
er, such being the character Of Gen.
Washington, motion that we wear Grape
around the left arm Of this Legislature,
and adjourn till tomorrow morning, as an
emblem Of our respect Of the memory of
;. Higgins who is dead, and died of the
brown creators yesterday in the forenoon.

the awful spectacle. My heart seemed as
if it would burst and break away from my
aching bosom, SO intolerable were my feel

ing with streaming eyes on the body of
that unfortunate young man, as it hung
dangling and wreathing between heaven
and earth, as unfit for either place, then it
was that took the pledge never to touch

Economy.

IL Is not economy TO keep cold house.
Modern ways of economizing fuel are SO
many ana cheap, and it costs so little to
make house tight that cold feet, colds,
inflammation of the lungs, and twenty other
diseases--to say nothing of the discomfort
endnrcd--are paid for too high, when their
price is little neglect and want of enter
prise in fitting up an abode to prevent
them.
1t IS not economy to half feed sheep, cat
tie, swine or horses 10 winter. The food
they consume is the fire that warns them.
If they do not have plenty, its place must
be supplied by the fat they have laid up,
they must suffer terribly, if not perish.
II IS NOT economy to keep animals shell
terless. They consume sixth more feed,
freeze their feet, ears and noses, suffer
greatly, and are less likely to come out
healthy in the spring. Detroit Free Press.

SON: or Coming winter.

come, come, We may hear my song,
From hilltop to valley 'tis pealing along;
The leafess bow is my wild harp string,
And loudly and long do their echoes ring.
We may know my path by the golden gram,
And the rainbow hues on my bordered train;
BY The towering naples scarlet tress,
And her forest sisters gorgeous dress.
The wild flower bows her gentle head,
AS she hears afar my conquering tread;
And the prince Of the forest doffs his crest,
As a beggar low to kingly guest.
Ye may see my power in the night walk still,
When the Starlight sleeps on the mountain rill
When the ripples that danced the liyelong day,
l hush in their wild and careless play.
And bind them fast with crystal chain,
That sunbeam's touch might break again;
While fairy frost with her glittering gems,
Weaves me many diadems.
Oh, proudly now career along,
And breezes are pealing my triumph song;
While earth from her garner her treasure brings
To lay at the feet Of the Autumn king.
But listen! hear note Of dread,
And see afar hoary head;
And freezing look from a piercing eye,
Warns me with lightning speed to by.
IT'S icy cold Winter, know him well,
! have felt before his whitening spell;
grim old tyrant and lordly is he,
And he laughs right out when he's conquered me

A Few WoRDs TO CH1LDRES.--You
were made to be kind, generous and mag
unanimous. If there is boy in the school
who has club foot, don't let him know
that yolr ever saw it. If there is boy
with ragged clothes, don't talk about rags
when he is in hearing. If thereis lame
boy, assign him some part of the game that
does not require much running. If there
is hungry one, give him a part of your
dinner. If there is, dull one, help him
to get his lesson. If there is bright
one, be not envious Of him; for if one boy
is proud Of his talents, and another is en-
vious of them, there are two great wrongs,
and no more talents than before. If a
larger or stronger boy has injured you,
and is sorry for it, forgive him, and ask
the te acher not to punish him. All the
school show by their countenances how
much better it is to have great soul than
a great fist Horace Mann.
