Artesian Wells on the SaAara-The
French papers contain interesting ac-
counts of newly bored Artesian wells in
the Great Desert. Six have been bored,
some of them 275 feet in depth. The
desert tribes were overjoyed at the ap-
pearance of the water. The news
spread and hundreds came TO see the
wonder. 1t is said these wells will work
a social revolution among the natives.
They will row abide by the constantly
hOwing water, cultivate the land, end
take the first step toward civilization.
Idle Capitak.-There is perhaps more
idle capital in the country at the present
time than ever before in its history.
The late panic has caused millions upon
millions to be drawn from the vaults of
banks to be buried III strange places
where it can be of no benefit to anybody.
The muscular capital of the country
thrown out of employ, by far exceeds

The Republican Meeting.

The meeting last night to hear Judge
Lowe and Col. Curtis, was large and enthu-
siastic. The telling speeches of these cham
pions of the people thrilled the hearts of
their auditory as with fire. The SANDERS
and sophistries of Mr.. Samuels and his
hireling crew were exposed and overthrown.
The food of light poured on the subject by
our gifted standard bearer pierced through
all the crevices and Granny holes of Mr..
Samuels' fallacies, and when thus lighted
up, their absurdity was so apparent that
their own appearance was their strongest
refutation. Many votes were known to
come over from the eotton-ocracy to the
victorious ranks Of the peoples party, and
their desertion will increase from this time
20 the election. 1t is so all over the State

BANKS.

Our oldest citizens do not remember such
disordered and unsafe state Of monetary
affairs as now exists in our State. Worth
less and rotten banks have feeced us with
paper rags not worth the paper OF which
they are made. Not man can lie down
on his pillow with any amount of their
money in his house. without feeling that he
is in danger of waking the next morning
SO much the poorer in purse. The first
question in the morning and the last one at
night which he puts to others, and others to
him, is how is such and such bank?-
What will you give for such and such mon
ey? Our entire financial circles are perva-
ded with profound distrust, which paral-
ICES enterprise and poisons the streams of
business at their fountains. The farmer
has at home a bushel full of these shin
plasters, as the results of his toll gathered
harvest, and feeling every moment that the
next one will find his paper money worth
less and himself bankrupt, he tries to turn
it into specie, and thinks himself lucky if
he can get it by paying from eight to twelve
per cent for it out of his hard earnings
The merchant shakes in his boots at this
universal insecurity, and strives to secure
himself imperfectly by charging higher
percentaee which falls in turn upon the
consumers. In short the financial affairs of
the people of Iowa are in ruinous condi-
ton, owing to the rant Of sound ba''Ss.-
Now who are chargeable with this? What pol
icy has caused it? What party has thus f.
nally brought ruin upon the heads of our
citizens, and dried the channels Of business
and industry in our midst? We answer that
same party whose candidate for Governor is
now ''personalIy opposed to banks" The
Democratic party, which, in the first consti
ton of the State, tyrannically forbid the
people of the State to form general bank
ing system, like that of the State of Ohio,
which is to-day as sound and as healthy as
| it has ever been. If it had not been for the
Democratic party, this State to day would
have had sound currency, solvent banks
and prosperous times. The Democratic
party, and that alone, are responsible to the
| people for their present distress. Now, is it
| safe to repose confidence again in the party
| that through ignorance has betrayed us once?
Have they changed their principles or grown
wiser by adversely? Not the least They
were opposed to banks when they made our
old constitution, as we have learned to our
cost, and they are opposed to them now, and
have selected as their standard bearer in
this contest man who openly avows that he
is ''personally opposed to banhs." Mr.. Sam
aels is little more honest than some of
their candidates nearer home, who privately
assure some that they are in favor of banks.
and others that they are opposed to them
and are afraid to publicly proclaim theil
position.
| Citizens Of Muscatine, are You for a SOUND
Isystem Of banks? Remember that the Dem.
fo:ratic party has always been, is now. and
Twin ever be, the Anti-Bank Party.

INCIDENTS.
At about 8 O. clock in the afternoon
the Muscatine Light Guards made their
appearance on the ground in uniform, es-
corting the Upton Guards and for time
they were ''the observed Of all observers"
Both companies presented good appearance.
AS usual where crowds congregate, their
were great many refreshment stands and
catch-psnny shows. Two of the latter were
admitted inside the enclosure for a stirula-
ton, we presume, and seemed to be doing a
brisk business. One professed to exhibit
two Egyptian mummies, 5000 years old,
with every liniment Of the face perfect as
the vociferous doorkeeper proclaimed to his
wondering listeners. The other ''showed'
lilliputian specimen of humanity, "only 81
inches high and 81 years of sge." Outside
the enclosure were the same kind of per.
formances, only perhaps little more so aud
more of them, as we didn't stop to see.
During the exercises about the stand and
on the trotting course, it was with great
difficulty that the Marshals could keep the
crowd from encroaching on tho space allow
ed to She Judges. In one or two instances
violence had to be resorted to in order to
keep them back. As to the editors depart
