Reuben NOble.-The Bird or Ill.
Omen.

There is sea-bird whose appearance O,
the trackless ocean, lowering over the solita
ry ship, or sailing off ahead and returnin,
again in the wake, inspires the sailor will
dread, and forewarns him of impending ruin
Such bird of ill-omen is REUBEN, the peri
odic and chronic sore head of Northern Iowa
His appearance is ominous of evil to the caus,
which he advocates, and the party arount
which he iutters. REUBEN always starts ou
on the losing side, and generally after howl
ing and whining alternately, he subsidies t,
his normal condition of harmless insignif
canoe.
REUBEN is not only bird of ill-omen tc
the movement which recognizes his presence
but he is . barometer to the political party o.
which he has usually been counted amember
The announcement that REUBEN NOBLE
won't support the ticket signifies that there
is a slight change in the atmosphere political
and that REUBEN and his special friends, tc
the number of three score, more or less, arc
brewing 8 tempest in teapot"
REUBEN "takes AFTER hErBgS of old, for
whom he was doubtless named by prophetic
anticipation, and is entirely "too big for his
breeches." REuBEN's periodic wrath used to
worry US, but we shave got used to it." and
take comfort and assurance Of success teon it
now.
RErBEN is alternately conservative and rad.
ical, is periodically sere-hsaded. and when
the fit Is on him, whether radical or conser-
vative, he is sure to be in the wrong. and ON
the losing side. We never knew it other
wise.
The first time We remember one Of bis Int
tie tempests, was years ago, wpen be was in
favor of WARREN, and W. was defeated: then
the radical fit was on him. After several
other bad turns the particulars of which
we do not remember. he had conservative
fit against SroNE, and SroSE was elected.
But the fit hung on that time and he opposed
Cole; and Cole was elected. Tueh the rad.
ical fit took him again last year, and he item.

favor of Fremont, and the Fremont move.

his sore head is aching again, and he has ia.
