Three cheers rorIowa,

ANTI-NEBRAsKAIsM TRlUMPHAYr.-Iowa
is safe. Nebraskaism has been routed. The
first gun from the North has reached our
ears, and it is the echo Of complete anti.
Nebraska triumph and an administration
overthrow. Iowa has always been Demo-
cratic State. All her antecedents are Dem.
ocratic, and the strongest effort has been
made TO convert her into Nebraska State.
But all has failed. Grimes, Wing and anti.
Nebraska candidate, has been elected Gov.
crnor by at least 1900 majority. Thoring-
ton, Wing and anti-Nebraska candidate for
Congress, and whom we know personally to
be a man, has been elected to Congress on
the Nebraska question in strong Democrat
ic district. II is also understood that the
other anti.Nebraska candidate has been
elected. The Legislature is also anti-Ne-
braska, and will elect a senator in the
place Of Dodge. The Nebraska question
was the only issue in the contest, and this
election is complete test of the question in
Iowa. Iowa has condemned the Northern
traitors! Let that news ring out clearly and
loudly. Her example will soon be followed
by other Northern States. The PEOPLE are
aroused. Demagogues and demagogue prn-
ciples are to be put down. Keep that ball
rolling.

Talking SensibIy.


The Princeton Clarion, the Democratic
organ of Gibson county, speaks as follows of
the nomination of Hon. Sam'l Hall, for Con-
gress. We submit its remarks to our rea-
ders, as delightful contrast to the low, vul-
gar and disgraceful reception to the nomina-
ton, given by the Enquirer OF this CITY,
The Clarion shows some respect to a re-
spectacle body Of its fellow citizens assem-
oledin mass meeting. The Enquirer treats
them as deserving of no more respect than
gang of hounds, or than a convention of
horse.thieves, pick-pockets and eounterfeit-
ers. Now which course is best calculated
to secure success? Certainly that which
secures the contempt Of every decent man,
can never be successful in accomplishing
much injury to that which itopposes. But
here is the Clarion:

100000 DIR. Fitch a knov.N Othfng!
The editor of the Phraos says he is author
lied to say that DIR. Fitch never uttered the
ntiCatholic sentiment that we charged
him with last week. We refer to the mat
ter now to prove by DR.. Fitch that he is
guilty. We know that his sentiments are
unimportant in this canvass, but it is right
TO show that the man who leads off den0uuc.

those sentiments. rlsar-i-

tatves for this county. At Lewisburgh, in
July OF that year, DR.. Fitch, in a speech. re.

are a Catholic! A Catholic, and such as ' on

in reply he wrote the following letter, which
although modifying and the pallating offence
for the sake of policy, fully confessed his
guilt:

Opposition convention.


here is the Clarion:
Opposition Convention.
The mass meeting OF the opposition to
Col. Smith Miller for Congress, that assem-
bled at Petersburgh, on Thursday, the cath
inst, is reported to have been nnmerously
attended and characterized by great unanimi-
ty-a wonder, considering the conflicting ell
ements Of which it was composed-Co
Cochran of this county pr sided. JUDGE
HALL, of this place, was unanimously nom
mated on the first ballot We will do the
convention the justice TO say that their selec-
ton was the best they could have made
for were we TO choose from the opposition
the least Objectionable person of that party
as representative to Congress, we would be
content with the "Old Sorrel," as he is often
called-but as the case stands, we must say
that the old horse will be well curried by
Miller in October next. Let the result oil
the election turn as it may, there is one
thing that we may be proud of--the fact that
Old Gibson will again furnish the Congress.
man for the first district.
We differ little with the Clarion in its
belief that Miller will curry down "Old Sor-
rel" but have no complaint to make. We
only hope the Clarion will recolect that il
Miller be successful, then the Clarion is de-
ieated in one of its principles, and the very
one upon which this election is to turn-we
mean the Nebr aska measure. The Clarion
has declared itself very firmly and positively
against the Nebraska swindle, aud in doing
so, proved one Democratic editor in the
State has the independence to be man and
form and hold an opinion for himself. We
shall expect to see Mr.. Kurtz continue this
display of independence in some form. He
will be the gamer in the end, and preserve
his consistency

A Happy Family.

The topic which has occupied the great
est amount of attention among the ladies
In this vicinity, has been the letter recently
published by one of the wives of distin-
guished Mormon gentleman 1t has been
usual to imagine that one wife is about as
much as one man ought to attend to, but
Mrs. Pratt knocks that old fogy notion
into pi-and goes in for sort of spiritu-
al circle Of spouses. Just imagine an
Abrahamic gentleman, not like John
Rogers, with wife and nine small chill
dren and one at the breast-but with nine
wives, eighty-one children and nine at the
breast. Who would not "pity the sorrows
of the poor man, when general squall
was given, or chorus of voices arose for
more sugar in their coffee, and more mo-
lasses on their mullins Just imagine the
old gentleman to say, "My dear little duck
give one sweet kiss" and then to see a
whole regiment rise and march at him
with devouring anxiety! Yet Mrs. Pratt
says that this little polyglot family circle
is charming, and that they are all happy
as CLAIMS at high tide. We begin to med-
tate the subject seriously. Just consider
what a delightful variety; no necessity
for visiting your neighbor-no finding a
dull, lethargic evening at home, and being
compelled to invent an excuse to 90 to
the Lodge-there being lodging enough
IN your own house-no necessity of get
ting up an imaginary ward meeting, and
being appointed chairman-"no having to
meet friend" or to "see about some bust
ness down town"-those ideal engagements,
which it does not take your wife long TO
translate in the plain English of going to
the theatre, q concert, OF party, with a
female friend--or to mean that there are
three gentlemen waiting round the corner
for you to 60 and look at the faces OF
certain speckled-backed pieces of square
paste-board, or drive with long sticks
certain ivory balls, red and white over q
green table cloth. Vive 10 Utah Desc.

POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATES
BY the census of 1850, the population Of
the United States was over twenty-three
millions, Of which eighteen millions were
native whites, over two millions were for
eign born, thirty-nine thousand were of
unknown nativities, and three millions two
hundred thousand were slaves. From
1910 to 1850, l,569,s5O foreigners came to
our shores. From 1920 to 1880, the ave-
rage number was only 10000 a year
From 1880 to 1916, about 10000 year.
The Irish famine and the continental revo-
lutions in 1647 increased the emigration
to 100000, and to 100000 in 1850: The
total number of efnigrants to the United
States since 1890 and living in 1850, to-
gether acith their descendants, amounted
(when the census was taken) to 1904, ,4l6.

A Rush of Ideas.

Did anybody ever read a better bur-
lesque on certain imaginative orators, who
are troubled with rush of ideas to the
braln-a very uncommon occurrence? 1t
is the experience" of Dow, Junior:
My hearers, it has been said of old.
that it is much easer to preach than to
practise; but let me tell you it is no easy
matter to preach. If you don't think SO,
as brother once remarked, l should like
to see you get up here and try it. The
case is with me, can't bear to have nv
sentiments leak out in driblets- they must
come out with grand rush, or not at all.
My bosom oftentimes becomes SO flooded
with feeling as to sweep all my ideas into
the thorax before they have time to be
transformed into words; when they get
wedged together-completely damned up
Tor moment: Then breakage takes
place, and down goes perfect deluge of
homely eloquence, which, by right, ought
to wash every old grease spot of sin from
your systems. But you don't seem to
appreciate ME and my services in proper
manner. 1t is true that you look sad,
pensive, gay aud mirthful, according 10
the nature Of my discourse; but when the
contribution box goes round, you put in
the enormous sum of picayune, and then
go away grumbling because you haven't
got your moneys worth. shall keep on
nevertheless, so long as l can
draw an audience or single listener, and
eventually retire with the satisfaction of
having done the best could, as the old
lady said when she tried to coax the pips
out OF the corn field with an empty swill
pail.
