Action! Action!

Let the rallying cry Of the Repub-
lican party from this to the closing
of the polls on the 10Th day of Octo-
Der next, be Action! 1t may be
thought that sucha course is unneces-
sary, in view Of the fact that Mahas-
ka County and the State Of Iowa are
SO irredeemably Republican as to
render a vigorous campaign useless.
We believe some of our Republican
papers have SO expressed themselves.
but, in our judgment, it is mistaken
policy. While there is no danger of
defeat, there is a necessity that our
forces should all be brought to the
polls for the purpose of keeping good
our former majorities. Should these
drop down, the cry will go along the
entire opposition line, that the Re-
publicans of Iowa are losing ground.
AS Gov. Stone showed in his speech
the other day, the Democratic meth
cd of computing their gains is by
computing theincrease of Democratic
votes without any reference to the
Republican vote. Should the former
hold their own, and the latter fall
off, it will be sounded through the
land, that the Democracy Of Iowa
are gaining upon the Republicans.
Every one must see the necessity for
avoiding such result, when it can
be done rs well as not. The most
dangerous condition political party
can be placed in is supineness. The
enemy is always sure to take advan-
tage of it, and adopt some strategy In
order to defeat, if possible.
There is already one independent
candidate (which really means Dem
ocratic), in this County, and we pre-
sumo there will be others before the
election; thus making it obligatory
upon the Republican party to be up
and doing. If you, fellow Republi.
cans, rally around your standard,
there will, there can be no danger; il
you sleep at your post the enemy
may enter your camp, and take some
Of your men prisoners. Do you pro.
pose to act SO silly as this? If not,
arise, buckle on the whole political
armor, and 60 into the contest deter
mined to succeed at every point.
Let there beno falling off; butinstead
thereof, let there he largely increased
majorities. This can be done if we
try; and let us all do so. We have q
good ticket, from Governor down,

The campaign In Iowa.

Some weeks ago, as the readers of
the Post were duly informed by its
spicy Ottumwa correspondent, the
Democratic candidate for Governor
of this State, Col. George Gillaspy,
started forth in his war paint on a
scalping expedition. Though he had
long been a "Colonel," he had not
previously been under fire to any
alarming extent. But he couldn't
stand 1t any longer than this year.
He saw that Republicanism -four
ished here and prospered; that DEM
ocracy Of the modern bogus sort
didn't do anything in particular but
grow small by degrees and beauti-
fully less; that something had to be
done. Accordingly,
"Then did Sir knight abandon dwelling.
And out he rode colonslling."
In plain prose, our Iowa Sir HUI
dibras abandoned the odors of his
beloved Ottumwa livery stables, and
proceeded On a campaigning tour
wherein he might cheer up the live
ly lads of the great unwashed, and
make a tremendous splurge general
ly. The platform upon which Col.
Gillaspy had been placed by his
party was something better in idea
than usual with the Democratic par
ty of these times. 1t recognized the
fact that there had been a war,
and that something had come of it.
It even recognized the fact that the
people of Iowa had in their last pop
ular election adopted the principle
Of the proposed fifteenth Amend
ment by striking the word "white'
from their State Constitution by a
tremendous majority. Under these
circumstances, tending to prove that
the leaders of the party were begin
ming to show signs Of sense and ami.
nation, 1t might have been supposed
that their gubernatorial candidate
would have been able to secure good
meetings and make lively cam.
paign. Surely this was not too much
to expect from a man of talents in
such a position, under such favorable
circumstances of discussion. But
these expectations, If there were any
such on the part Of those ignorant Of
the probable fatal establishment ar
idea would be to the Democratic can.

Of the least bewigged personages that
American politics have produced.
They do their work with so little
swagger that those who confound
buster with business suppose that it
is not done. The President leaves
the White House in the summer, as
most Presidents have done, and as all
ought to do. Instead of going to the
Soldiers Home in Georgetown he
moves leisurely from point to point,
NOT far away from Washington. He
travels as quietly rs he can, not
making a progress as so many Pres
idents have done, and very properly,
il they liked it. He has most edi-
flying and amusing contempt for the
gibes that are thrown at him, con-
scious that none Of them can really
injure him 50 long as he is not truant
from his duty as well as from the
White House. The Springfield Re
publican says that to while away the
time is the task of kings, not of Pres
idents, and advises, the President, if
he must travel, to 60 to the Southern
States, and learn to distinguish his
friends from his enemies. To such q
sneer the conduct of the President is
sufficient answer. There is not man
in the Southern States who does not
know with which side are his SYM
pathies, nor does the Republican show
in the least point how his absence
from the capital has injured the pub
lie welfare. If the supremacy Of the
party, as the Republican alleges, is
fast passing away, it certainly is not
because the President passes the hot
weather at the seaside rather than in
Georgetown. And if there is feel
ing that his administration disap-
points expectation, it is not because
of what it has done or failed to do,
but Of its total want of swagger, its
unprecedented freedom from large
white wiggery.-Harper's Weekly.

Countless millions Of cubic feet of malariOus

Dressing Hogs.

At meeting of the Delaware (Ohio)
Farmers Club the subject of slaughter.
ing and dressing hegs was discussed, as
well as the curing of pork. 1t was re-
commended that the hog should be laid
on the back; that the party butchering
should stand over the hog, left hand on
nose, edge of knife towards the hog:
cut both arteries, three inches sufficient,
five better, the main thing is to bleed
well. Scald as soon as killed-two hogs
to one kettle of water; blood is a good
test for the water; if too hot IL cur.
dies the blood; should be soft, if hard
throw in some ashes; some prefer pine
tar or rosin.
Throw bucket of cold water over
the hog as soon as scalded-it closes the
pores and whitens the skin. When
hung up, wash, scrape upwards, wash
again, and wipe with cloth; should be
thoroughly washed, scraped and wiped;
heart or liver should never be cut In
the hog; take eptrails out to Jugular
vein, then take the vein, heart and liver
ont.
The pork should be slightly sailed for
two or three days, skin down, and then
turned and covered with salt; put in
brine for thirty days for medium-sized
han; brine should be brought to a scald,
but used cold; brine should be preserved,
old brine is the best, but should be boil
ed and SKINNED before used; salt should
be we'll rubbed in; coarse salt the best,
not safe to use salt in the bottom of the
barrel after having stood for sometimes;
eight pounds salt, five pounds sugar,
and one-fourth pound saltpeter to one
hundred pounds meat is the best recipe.

Are Women siingyf

One of the small sins of women Mrs
Minton affirms to be stinginess, and VT
are not going to deny :his TO be the
case Almost all women are stingy in a
bargain and paying for work, and SO
are all middlemen in general, and wo-
men act mostly in that capacity. They
have not often any money of their own,
nor very much at their disposal; they
are expected to make it go long way
and to account for the expenditure to
another person who would probably
shrink with manly fear from being
slanged by disappointed cabman or an
exasperated fishwife, but does not see
why his wife should object to it. We
believe this recognized stinginess arises
from these causes, and is not by any
means the natural disposition of wo-
man.
If any one wishes to see place where
the servants eat what they like, are
literally paid, and cosseted and cared
for in health and in sickness, where the
repairs to the house and to the tenants
houses are substantially made, he must
look for it where two or three maiden
ladies live together on a fixed and COM
Portable income, which they spend in
their own fashion, being accountable to
no man for what they do. We have
seen many notable instances of this
kind, though we are concerned to admit
that the servants were all required TO
be of one way of thinking as to church
and State, and the tenants TO poll on
the right side at election times, other,
