I have message Uncle Johns.
For your own private ear;
As cannot go to Washington,
And you viii not come here,

With eireumspeetion meek
Al bashful msmbers often print

And California and Montana

Chic plummed the track
And killed the WADE-CHAsE mania,
While little Maine stuck up her nose.
And so did Pennsylvenia.
Iowa flung in a shot
And hurt the radical critter,
While New York is working up
A la shoulder hitter.

Just like a tender gelding,
But strike hot and heavy now
While the irons right for Welding.

Upon which he had been skating!
And though he wasn't known TO swap

bringssdown upon him the condenra-
ton Of those who can see nospatriet-
ism and no wisdom, except m sup
port of the most ultra measures OF
revenge toward the South
A correspondent of the New York
Tribune, writing from Washington,
wonders whether Grant will not go to
Tennessee to defeat Brownlow, as he
went to Maryland last Fall to elect
Swami. When Gen. Grant went to
Maryland he was acting as military
man under the orders of his com.
mander in chief; and instead OF
using the slightest influence upon the
election, his effort was confined en-
tirely to the prevention of civil out
break, which seemed almost certain
to result from the conflicts between
the Governor and the Baltimore Com
missioners. ''4o
The New York Independent, organ
of the Custom house, denounces the
idea that Grant can be the candidate
of the Republican party. 1t consid-.
ers his politics altogether too "dilut-
ed" and prefers some outspoken
and decided F" man, like old Ber
Wade, of Ohio. as8 sie fa 89n5iRaz
The magnificent services of Grant
for the nation, his long career OF mil
itary successes, his uniform and un-
wavering patriotism, amount to moth
ing with these apostles off hatred, SO
long as he is supposed not to favor
" confiscation and punishment Ii.
the political sentiments of General
Grant are diluted" so are those sof
the great majority of Northern Re-
publicans.. He is in favor OF. the
most vigorous and uncompromising
enforcement of the military law. He
insisted upon the selection of. depart
ment commanders, who would carry
out. that law. to the very letter. He
does not conceal his Endorsement OF
the principle of manhood suffrage so
Upon the great leading ideas of the
day he is IN perfect sympathy with the
Republican party, and stands on its
declared PLATFORM That he does not
60 out of his way to make political
harangues, or advertise his diferen-.
ces ofopinion with the President, is
true. And it would be manifestly
improper and inconsistent with his
position as military head of the adj
for him to do so.
The politicians who are seeking to
commit the Republican party to new
ideas that have no part in his declared
creed may feel no sympathy with the
wise moderation Of General Grant.
But the soldiers who fought and won
glory under him, and the people
whose institutions he did so much to
save, will not fear to trust either his
patriotism or his judgment. The
time has not yet come to predict with
any degree Of certainty who will be
the next candidate for President. But |
if that choice shall fall upon General
Grant, no lover of his country will
have reason to regret the selection.

The Next Presidency.

The story of Judge Carriers inter-
view with Gen Grant, is an extraor-
binary one. The Judge is a we'll
known Republican politician of
Washington, holding strong radical
views. His favorite candidate for the
Presidencyis Ben. Wade, who is one
Of the grandest of our public men,
whether a presidential candidate or
not. The object of the Judge in call
ing upon the General was what? 1t
was to ascertain, first, whether Gen.
Grant would be candidate, and sec
ond, if so, Nth eohich9 party he seou1d
act.-Neao York Independent.
The above is the opening of a long
article, in which the Independent pro-
ceeds to second the effort of Wendell
Phillips to demolish General Grant.
The story would, certainly be an ex-
traordinary one, If it were true: but
it is not true that Judge Carter called
on Gen. Grant to ascertain with
which party he would act if he
should be candidate for the Presi-
idency.
It is very well known by those who
have conversed with General Grant,
that he has no sympathy with the
Democratic party, and if it so hap
pens that he is a candidate for the
Presidency, he will run as a Republ-
can. Gen. Grant has not seen fit to
express publicaly his political views
but it is well known that he does not
try to conceal from those who con-
verse with him, that his sympathies
are decidedly with the Republican
party; and furthermore, It will proba-
bly, be found that he is quite as efficient
in sustaining the principles of the
party as those who assail him. ri Fl
General Grant may or may not be a
candidate for the Presidency; but it
is due to him, and it is but just to say,
that he is. Republican, and would
indignan tly decline a nomination from
any other party.-Csncinnati Gazette.

~Ir1s A REMARKABLE FACT

Co. IT IS A REMARKABLE FACT
that the mortality experienced
on large policies Of life assurance
is less than on small ones. The
average amount of each policy
issued by the Equitable Life As
surance Society in 1866. was
S4.15O, while the percentage Of
losses was but 1920. An aver
age policy Of the Mutual Life for
the same period was 50, ,5O4 /;
percentage Of loss 1894. Wash
ington, So, 400; loss 1914. Ger
mania, s1,SOO; loss 1926. Uni
ted States, S2,393; loss 1927.
All these are cash companies !;
and the rates Of some sixteen
nots companies exhibit a similar
commentary, showing greater
mortality on small than on large
policies. The cause is attributed
to the fact that the wealthier
classes, who are able TO assure
for the largest amounts, enjoy
those constant comforts and sani-
tary privileges, and lead that
regular course of life which 80
mat erially promotes longevity
The Equitable Life Assurance
Society issues policies on a single
life up to the amount of $4,000.

The Rendezvous Of stolen Horses
Euuud.


ln conversation with MacBfyde OF
Moscow, the other day, VIC learned some
very interesting facts which have just come
to light through .lis eff rts anu those Of .
few others, in regard to the opera ions Of
gang of horse thieves that has been cper-
ating quite extensively throughout the
State. They have captured one Of the
gang named Smith alias Hogan, who is now
confined 10 the Mnscatine county jail. They
succeeded in making him reveal the where's
abou.s Of the stolen horses but could not
prevail upon him to dvulgc the name Of his
accomplice. In letter to the Muscatine
Courier Mr.. Mac Bryde gives the following
account Of the finding of the horses:
At tea o'clock Saturday morning, the
horses were found about eight miles nor.h
Of Homestead, in Iowa county. Here We
also saw running at large on the prairie,
some thirty or forty horses, of all colors
and ages some with head stalls ,n-some
matched teams, but no owners could be
found for them in that vicinit' Those
who have lost horses will do well 10 take a
trip to this ncighboIhocd and see il they
cannot identify their property.
The letter concludes as follows:
Horse thieves had better make themselves
scarce around Moscow-as We are now
forming a vigilance committee for the PRO
lection of ourselves and property-woe be
to the next rascal that fals into our hsnds
we have lost time and uioney-and pu,
the county to . largo expense, repetition
Of which we are determined shall not occur
again. A strong rope and high limb will
be the portion allotted to tn. next horse
thief that fills into or hands. For the in
formation Of ali interested, we here give q
description Of the horseethief who accom-
panied by Mr.. Landon the constable left
this day for his warm summer quarters II
the Muscatine Jail. He is abnu, 5 feet II
inches high, slight built. about lao pound,
weight. strongly pockpi,,ed in the face
downcast look, and lazy souching walk. -
His accomplice is still at large, and from
what we can learn, is nearly related to th'
prisoner, who is stesdfast in his determine
sion not to divulg the name.
They are busy at work on the railroad
here, and expect ere twelve months rol
over, to hear the whistle of the NJ I. X A
