The constant assertions of the
republicans Of this state before
the state election last fall as to the
limited amount of expenditures
necessary to complete the state
Improvements then in progress Of
construction. and appropriating
after election something over the
srug little sum of 100000 to
that purpose, has led to the fol-
lowing conundrum:
Why is the Republican party
of Iowa, like q harp struck by
lightxing'
Because it is a Blasted Liar.

| TOM MAJ D(,NUl'GH
THE PRESS GANGS VICTIM
A SEA SKETCH.
By =. B. PEHRlN.


Some time during the month Of June
1909, the American brig Sarah, Of and
from Norfolk, w., entered the port Of
Liverpool, With full cargo. She VA.
commanded by Capt. William Brown,
and his first mate Was Tom Maedoa-
ough, true hearted Yankee sailor. who
hailed from somewhere in the little
State Of Delaware.
after the freight had been duly en-
tered at the Custom house she was
soon cleared of her cargo, and within
one week after her arrival, she was
loaded and ready to start for home.
One pleasant evening one pre-
eedins the day on which the brig was
to sail, Tom Mac;ionough took a
stroll mp town. He hal been At work
all day in arronging the cargo and
merely starting out for a stroll ~
town. he had not thought it worth
while to change his dress. lie had
been up ~ far a. the Exchange, and
was returning by way of tho docks,
when he was accosted Ivy a man who
appeared to be a citizen.
''G,od evening, stranger.'
"1'he same to vou,' returned Tom.
never once mistrusting that there was
harm in the way.
do You belong to any of the vessels
IN the rvsr?' asked the other, as he
cast scrutinizing glance over tho some
what rough habihments of the Ameri.
can sailor.
"Yes l be'ong to tho brig Sarah"
"No,- no that won't do
"What won't dot" asked Tom, not .
little amazed at tho remark.
"Oh, I know you,' returned the .tran-
ger, You are q deserter from the frigaee
As he spoke, be placed small whis-
tie TO his month, and moment after ito
shrill note had cut tho air six m.rnesi
came rushing out Of . tap-room close at
hand, and at 4 motion from the stran-
ger they seized hold upon Tom and
made him. prisoner. In vain was /.
that Tom insisted that he was second
in command Of the Sarah; and IN vain
that he threa tened vengeance. But
against the power Of six stout fellows
he coald make no efectusl resistance,
and 20 he was taken along to the naval
landing, where Eve other prisoners all
victims Of the press gang-we,e await
ing their eanbarkation. A boat VAS in
waiting, in the command Of lieutsn-
ant, and into it was Tom, with the rest
of the unfortunate seamen, unceremon;-
ouslp hurried, anil in less than half an
hour he found himself on an english
frigate, which lay 1t the mauth Of the
river.
~ fine ct Of men" said the the En-.
glish captain - he ran bis eyes admi-
ringly over the stalwart forms Of the
impressed seansn. They will just 6ll
up the list Of our maintopmen.
''Ars you tho commander of this
frigateP asked Tom, addressing the
man Who had thus spoken.
Captain Dvwne, at your service, >
replied the commander with gravity.
"Then, sir,, Of you I demand my i'm.
mediate release; ! am secvnd in com.

Incornorating Societies.

Senate bill to incorporate the Fairmont
Lodge No. of Free and Accepted Masons,
being before the House of Delegates on
Thursday, February %, 1862
Mr.. Kemper said that he could not per-
init this bill to pass without entering his
emphatic protest against it. These secret
societies are now authorized by law to have
trustees assigned them, to hold, buy and sell
property, to sue and be sued to plead and
be impleaded You now propose to enlarge
their powers by granting charters of incor-
poration. If it were proper to incorporate
them at all, it ought to be done by general,
and not by this sort of special legislation
1t is an opprobrium to the Legislature, that
our statute books should be encountered with
a mass of acts Incorporating all the village
and cross-road societies in the State. But 1t
is impolitic and improper to incorporate them
at all 1t is dangerous power to confer
upon any body of men, but, especially, so
when conferred upon a secret oath-bound so
ciety, whose exercise of that power you can
not understand or control The trainers of
the Federal Constitution regarded this power
as so dangerous, that upon test vote IN
Convention, they refused to vest Congress
with the power to grant charters of incorpo-
ration. You refuse, you always have re-
fused, to incorporate any church or ecclesias-
teal body, and it is now proposed that we
shall clothe secret association with privi-
leges and powers which you deny to the
church of Jesus Christ You are departing
from the honored policy Of the founders of
the Government, when you confer such spe-
cial and unusual powers upon any such
body ofmen.
| wish at least to give notice TO the pat
rons of such bills that these subordinate
Masonic lodges are violating the principles
of Masonry when they come here to get adj
ditional privileges from government. The
Grand Lodge itself is not an Incorporated
institution, and these local lodges cannot, ac-
cording to Masonic law, exercise any pow
ers except such as are derived from the pa
rent institution, and certainly cannot hold
greater power than the society which ere
ates them As member of that organiza-
ton, shall make it my business to go be-
fore the Grand Lodge and prosecute these
subordinate lodges that come here, in viola
ton of their own principles, to obtain for
hidden privileges from government.
The bill was laid upon the table.

How they Hold Court in Utah.

Indian Agent Humphrey, who has some
fifteen thousand Indians under his care IN
Utah, some sixty miles from Salt Lake City,
thus describes, in letter to friend in La
fayette, the imposing opening of United
States Court by our government officials:
The most imposing scene have witnessed
since my arrival here, was the opening of the
United States Court at Nephi, by his Honor,
Chief Justice Eckels. just imagine you see
him ascending the judicial roStrum, with his
usual amount of dignity, with large Colts
revolver hung to his side, and take mis- seat.
Then the Marshal, p X. Dalton, long,
dark complex,oned Nirginian, arose with
two reviewers swung to his side, and calls
Court in the usual form, Hear We. ye, do. >
Then John T. Risley, good looking young
man, formerly of Sullivan County, Clerk of
the Court, arises, armed in the same style,
and reads the minutes The Court then
calls the list of Attorneys; each armed as
before stated, arise and answer to his name.
The Jury are then called, every one of whom
comes in with revolver swinging to his
side. and in this condition are instructed and
sent to their room.
And after all this, their Court Is a perfect
farce, and their trials bat mockery Of Justice.
The fault, however, is not in the officers Of the
Court, for they are faithful and fearless in
the discharge of their duties. But the diff
Guilty rests here; the Jurors, the criminals
and witnesses are all Mormons, and for this
reason it is impossible 10 enforce the law
The truth is Brigham Young's word is law,
and it is nonsense to undertake to do any
thing to the contrary.
