THE .mY POLICY. MACHINE.

There has been q Convention a. Les
Moines. Nondescript customers in the po
litical arena figuring in weak way last sea-
son as " Possums composed it. They have
made ticket. 1t insn't formidable. Of tho
candidates generally we do not purpose
speaking at this present. They may be very
good sort Of gentlemen in quiet sort of
way, but " My Policy" Will be exhaustive
upon them; it will be political extinguisher
of them. But Webster we know. The can
didate for Attorney General, is We are proud
to say. one upon whom our optics have rested.
Knowing Webster, and in the presence of his
new honors, we have tried to feel and write
deferentially, but it is new sensation and we
can't do it to any large extent. We shall
practice upon it during our waking and sleep
ing hours. We shall think of school boys in
the United States Senate, of ten years-old
Tommy Jones taking vacation in spinning
his top to be Governor of a State, of remark
able things happening in remarkable modes.
We may get used to it. True it is regarded
here as huge "goak.' 1t is rather stun
ming upon the public to think Of Webster,
who in few months severe application, il
he would take to his law and leave politics
alone, would make very fair student, and
might conduct very creditably simple suit
before Justice of the Peace; it is, we say,
rather stunning upon our public to think Of
Webster, as the sole legal counsel and Attor.
ney of the sovereign State Of Iowa, the ad'
wiser of the heads of departments, and giving
at two days notice an opinion upon constitu-
tional law questions of the highest moments
and which opinion shall control the legisla-
ton of State. Such question for instance
as the power of the General Assembly to reg
ulate railroad tariffs. freight rates and con-
tracts; forty eight hosrs IN which to submit
his opinion TO the Legislature; and his opin.
ion to influence or make policy affectingthe
profoundest business interests and prosperity
Of the State for years; and Webster to dc
it-really, our public are obfuscated, the,
"can't see it.
Altogether the g Ny Policy machine is
rioketty and weak affair. There is no force
in ito ticket. After all the travail Of Briga
dier General Thomas H. Junior little has
come of it. The thing isn't formidable.
In this loyal Hawkeye State, with its glorious
record, its gallant soldier living, its heroic
dead its glowing earnest patriotism, there il
no success for the party qf rebellion and rep
81 sympathy. And the few never-whols
hearted persons who claim to have done |
weak service in the Republican party, ye
move in this rebel aggrandizing scheme arr
powerless; they cannot overthrow loyalty II
Iowa nor make our people share in thei
treachery and infamy.

FRANK THIEvTNG.-A clever bit
of roguery has just been stopped by
the police, who have caught the II
thors at their work. A well-dressed
man has been in the habit Of going
into a shop, buying a trining article,
and giving a te%n-franc gold piece.
On receiving his change, he frankly
declares il was a twenty-franc piece;
and, swhen the dispute becomes warm,
says it is very easy TO prove it; "My
piece of twenty francs is a very old
one, Of the reign of Louis Philippe,
and has a scratch across it," Sure
enough it is found, and the change
for twenty francs must be given.
But some time before, his accomplico
had been to the same house, bought
a trile, and given this marked TWEEN
ty-franc piece, and the game is con-
tinued till the harvest is sufficient.
