Not Cherishing HI Feeling.

The Chicago Times has exhumed
the following bit of history: "Some
years ago bill was before the United
States Senate, making appropriations
for decorating the National Capitol.
Senator Sumner moved a provisO
that there should be no decorations
designed to commemorate victory
by Americans over their country
men. AS this was while civil war
was raging and the passions of the
people were stirred to intensity, the
motion was an eminently patriotic
one, and met the approval of the
Iowa voter. [volume] (Knoxville, Iowa) 1867-1874, 1869-09-16
Our Taxes.

The taxes on the people Of this
country are indeed a heavy enough
burden, and oil look anxiously for
the day when they may be dimin-
ished. But numerous Democratic
journals, in their anxiety to abuse
the Republican Administration in
every way, have DANGEROUSLY urged
that we are the worst-taxed people
on earth. Sufficient answer to them,
perhaps, is given by one Of their own
number, the Burlington Gazette and
Argus, which closes an editorial in
its weekly issue of the I'd inst. with
the following words: -.
"If the people of this country were
taxed in the same proportion as are
the people of the British Empire,
we would derive al annual revenue
of $3.50, 100000, or $52,OOO,0OO more
than we now pay"

Under this caption the Davenport
Journal has the following sensible
and timely remarks. Gen. Sanders
is one Of the most trusty pickets on
the line, and his words of warning
and caution carry with them the
weight of good soldier sounding no
false signal of alarm:
"We admire the spunk Of our
Democratic friends. With a majority
against them Of over forty-six thou
sand in this State last year, they
have gone through the motions Of
nominating their candidates for
State officers, and are now preparing
a programme Of speakers at home
and abroad, just as If good strong
fight might bring favorable results.
One favorable result to them would
be a heavy reduction of the majority
against them last year; and that is
what they are going to fight for.
They are spunky and determined to
the last; and this is the admirable
trait that has preserved them from
humiliation as a party. Now it
should be an object with the Repub-
lican party to defeat tho desires of
their opponents. They have made
II obligatory on us to do our duty, or
suffer a humiliation nearly equal to
that of ordinary defeat.
There will be but few Counties in

party will not HAYES thorough or

the best stumpers they can secure
from abroad. They smean business
and 1t will not do to say that it is a
mean business they are at, and let

lican State Central Committee intend
doing their whole duty; and the pro-
gramme Of the speakers, &C., will
soon be published. The Committee
must be seconded by the labors of
Republicans all over the State. Re-
publican Iowa must, as the result of
the coming election, show that she
is still true to herself, and that the
thunder Of her last years voice shall
this year be "history repeated"

Grant and Economy.

Grant is making gallant Roadway
in reducing the Public Debt. Before
he was elected, the Democratic
prophecy was common that his Ad-
ministration would but pile the Debt
higher and higher, that the expenses
iof the Government would be in
creased, and that he would drive
everything to ruin at rapid jog. But
he was elected nevertheless; the peo-
pie knew he was to be trusted; and
the proof is now clear to all men that
their confidence was well founded.
At the end Of every month since his
Inauguration, the good word has
been sent out from Washington that
the Public Debt has been largely
decreased. During the month of
August the Secretary of the Treasury
stated that no reduction would prob
ably be made in that month, as there
were SO many heavy drafts to meet
the paymentof interest and pensions;
but when the end of the month came,
1t was found that reduction of ST.
GO4, 243 had been made. This is well
enough. Officers who do more than
they promise will suit and satisfy the
people, If they do not please the hun
cry individuals known as Democratic
politicians. 4
We would like to call the attention
of our Copperhead friends to the fact
that since Grants accession to the
Presidency, he has reduced the Debt
$40, 500, 1887, and would like for
them to inform us how they will
make this harmonize with their pre-
diction in the last campaign, that he
would increase the Debt over one
hundred millions the first year Of his
Administration. Economy and hon
esty have brought quick reward.
We were told in his Inaugural that
his financial plan would be to save
money from expenses and with it
redeem the Debt. 1t was a simple
theory, and it has been a successful
one. Expenses are being Topped of,
the revenue honestly gathered and
faithfully discussed. Andrew
Johnson's brood of Democratic tax
gatherers have been mustered out,
and good honest Republicans mus
tered in. Honesty, efficiency, and
unity, pervade all branches Of the
Government, and are making the
Government what it should be. The
future of the Nation has not looked
SO bright for years as 1t does at pres
ent. The feeling of alarm and unrest
has given way to confidence and
peace. All goes we'll. Grant is all
right. The country is all right

The only States which have rati-
fed the proposed Fifteenth Amend
ment to the Constitution, as shown
by the records at the State Depart
ment, are North Carolina, West Vir-
ginia, Massachusetts, Wisconsin,
Maine, Louisiana, Michigan, South
Carolina, Pennsylvania, Arkansas,
Connecticut, and Florida. The same
records show it has been imperfectly
ratified b. Missouri and Kansas, and
that it has been rejected by Delaware
and Kentucky. 1t has been ratified
by New York, New Hampshire, Ne
vada, Minnesota, Nebraska, Alabama
and Illinois, but the official evidence
of ratification has not been transmit
ted to Washington, or, at any rate,
does not there appear. We can read
lily understand why this fact is true
as to New York. The officials of
that State are Democrats, opposed to
the Amendment, and not anxious to
bear testimony in its favor. The
neglect Of Republican officials may
be fully accounted for on the ground
Of ignorance, or what the lawyers
call gross negligence. Counting the
States which have ratified, but not
sent in the records, we have total
of nineteen States. Indiana failed to
lawfully ratify by reason Of the rev.
olutionary course Of the Democratic
members, who resigned, leaving no
quorum, SO that the number of States
which have practically acted upon
the question is twenty-four; with a
favorable result from nineteen and
unfavorable from three.
Vermont will soon surely ratify,
and it is now stated that Rhodel
Island, which postponed the subject
at the last session of the Legislature,
will certainly do SO in November.
Thus there will be twenty-one States
in favor of the Amendment. The
remaining States are: California,
Georgia, Iowa, Maryland, New Jer-
sep, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, with
Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia,
whose relation with the Union has
not yet been restored. The account
now stands, therefore, as follows:
.tates which have acted ....2l
NHlhei oy'................'... ~

If Mississippi, Texas and Virginia
be counted, the number of States
requisite for ratification will between

present. We may count surely on
Vermont, Rhode Island, and Iowa,
and with tolerable certainty on Ohio;
but the defeat of the measure is more
than probable. Chicago Post.

Quarantihc.

III Is the opinion Of the people and the
doctors that quarantine is not necessary to
prevent the introduction of disease, then It's
expensive machinery ought to be abolished at
once; but II, on the other hand, 1t Is held that
quarantine cannot safely be dispensed with,
then we should have a quarantine worthy the
name, and not the ridiculous farce we now
have-that while II imposes on commerce all
the embarrassments and expenses of sanitary
supervision affords no safety at all to the city.
What shall we do In the summer with our pres
ent system If In the winter, by the negligence
or inefficiency Of officers pestilence is intro

Wall street Speculation.

Ever since the beginning of the year there
has been steady rise in nearly every stock
dealt in at the Stock Exchange. The move
ments of currency in April and the stringency
in money during the opening of spring business
have usually resulted in decline. This time,
however, the precedent was reversed. The
obstacle was entirely disregarded, and specu-
lators paid exorbitant rates of interest to have
their stocks carried rather than part with them.
With the relaxation of the money market the
buoyancy has been correspondingly great.
The advance in prices is all the way from ten
to forty per cent. The speculative fever
seems repetition of that which succeeded the
imitation attendant upon the immense issue of
paper money during the war. 1t appears to
have made the round Of speculative subjects,
and, having just closed up with real estate,
commences at the stock market again. Pri-
ton is hope Of sharing in the immense ad
vance in railway values which it is expected
will ensue upon the finishing of the Pacific
Railway, while the fashion of issuing scrip divi
dends will, it is thought become quite gene
ral and capital stocks be thus increased two,
three and even fourfold. One scheme con-
templates the creation of corporation between
this city and Buffalo, with capital of one
hundred millions. We have pointed out the
dangers of all kinds of speculation, and we
repeat the warning again. With the decline
of fifty per cent in breadstuffs and the opening
of lake, river and canal navigation, the looked
for fabulous earnings of our railways this sum-
mer will dwindle TO very ordinary figures,
while the question of watering stock and
wringing extra dividends from the travelling
public is one which the courts may yet decide
against the railway monopolists.

IMMIGRATION TO TIE UNITED STATES FROM
IRELAND AND GERMAYY.-Our Cork corre-
spondent refers in his recent letters to unmis-
taxable indications that the emigration from
Queenstown will this year be unprecedentedly
large. The various steamship companies hav-
ing boats calling there are unable to accommo-
date the passengers who throng their Offices,
notwithstanding the rise in the price of pas
sages to seven and eight guineas and the
placing on their lines of all their available
steamers and the chartering Of others. The
Cunard and Inman lines despatch one or two
extra steamers week to take out passengers
left by their regular boats, aud nevertheless
eleven hundred passengers had TO be left be-
hind on single day, the 18th ult. A similar
activity reigns in the German ports. One
feature Is common to both the Irish and the
German emigration Of the present year. The
emigrants are for the most part either skilled
artisans or small farmers, and are unusually
well provided for the new career which they
are to enter upon In this country. IF they will
only resist the temptations 10 linger in the
crowded cities of the Atlantic coast and will
hasten on their arrival here to the homes that
await them In the great West they will never
regret having immigratcd to America.
