Mr.. Editor, I have tried my best
the past week to get some one to
elope, go crazy, commit suicide, or
to burn up their property to get the
insurance on it, in order that might
have some thing to write about, but
SO far without success. There are
one or two that would elopc, but
they cannot find any one to go with
them and they say. "1yhat is the
use OF going alonc?" One man was
willing to commit suicide only that
his life was insured for several thou.
sands dollars and he was afraid some
one would get tho money if he did.
He sad che would be doggoned II
any body should get his money before
he got done with it"
Failing to get an item in that way
I will tell You that the Hotel in this
place is closed, the proprietor having
gone to Nlarshalltown. Travellers
wishing to stop here must bring their
dinners with them unless they can
dine on crackers and cheese. We ex-
pect the house will be opened in a
few weeks, perhaps in a few days.
Last week mentioned the Ferry
boat at the river south of this place.
1t is ready at all times to carry pas
scngers across either way. The fare
across the river is twenty-five cents
tor each team and ten cents for each
man, woman or child.

Protection at the West,

The St. Louis Tribune thus re.
spends to those journals and repre-
sentatiyes who boast Of what the West
Will do against Protection after her
power in Congress shall have been
increased by the Ninth Census:
"a large majority Of the Western
people are Protectionists, and the
minority is becoming smaller every
day. There is great deal Of misap-
prchension on this subject in the
East, growing on. OF the fact that
leading journals of our great cities,
supported by dealers in foreign
goods, are Frec-Traders. People in
the East do not know that our coun.
try press is nearly all in favor of
Protection. While dealers in for
eign goods. moreover, in our large
cities, arc naturally Free Traders, our
largest and best merchants, who deal
in American products, are mostly in
favor of Protection. The President
Of the Board of Trade in St. Louis
Major Shryock) is a Protectionist;
SO is Mr.. Lewis, the President OF the
Merchants Union Exchange. The
Governor of Missouri, moreover, is a
Protectlonist. So much for this
State.
"In Iowa, it is we'll known that
two lite long Protectionist have re.
Gently been elected to the u, S. Sen.
ate. aud Minnesota stands on a Pro.
tectiyc Tariff platform. 1t will Le
seen, therefore, that the three great
States west OF the Mississippi are de.
cided Protectionists. So also are
the three great States east of us:
Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin.
The great newspapers in the great
cities may make it appear otherwise
to distant people, but 1t is neverthe-
less true. 1t must, from the nature
OF things, be true. The Western peo-
pie are just beginning to build up
their industry. They want fair play,
and no foreign competition. They do
not use foreign goods, as tie people
of the East do, but wear lone. made
clothing, and are not only satisfied
with it, but are proud VI it. Vein.
tend, as soon as possible, to make
all we want in every department OF

all over this country, and soon shall

works are multiplying on every, side,
and now We are going into the man
utacture OF Iron and Steel Rails, and
shall soon be able to supply all the
Western railroads. Protection to
Home Industry is, therefore, to be
hereafter the great economical doc.
trine of the West. Even to-day, the
Western people are more in favor Of
a Protective Tariff than the Eastern
There is good reason tor it: our in
dustry is still in its infancy: that o.
the Eastern people we'll established
They can endure foreign competitions
zee cannot, nor will our people per.
NIT it, as the next elections of Con
gressmen will show. The Free Ira
dcrs will be left at home and Pro.
tectionists only will be returned
With our increased representation.
Congress will then be more Protec-
zionist than ever, and the American
people will enter upon the high road
which leads to a great, rich, indepen-
dent, and powerful! nation"

THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT.

The people of the United States, after
full deliberation, ratified an amendment
to the Constitution first adopted by Con-
gress, the provisions of which forbid any
person, who, having at any time taken an
oath to support the Constitution of the
United States and afterwards gave aid and
comfort to the rebellion, from holding Of
fee. This amendment has been thorough
ly discussed and is fully understood. 1t is
a part of the law of the land, and the peO-
pie expect it to be enforced. The Govern
ment cannot afford to have it openly and
defiantly annuled, and if it ever intends
enforcing il, the members of this court
who are obnoxious to it, after pronouncing
the decision of Thursday are very fit sub,
iects,

fR coNFEDERAcY IN ITS TRUE LIGHT

The Supreme Court of the United States
say distinctly in the General Hickman
case that the Confederacy was entitled to
belligerent rights only so far as it applied
to it military officers. The court never ex
tended to the civil department of the Gov
eminent any such respectable recognition.
It was only to mitigate the harshness of
penalties incurred by those armed and at
tempting to overthrow it that belligerent
rights were accorded to the military de-
partment of the insurgents. But along
comes our State tribunal, and with -four
ish of rhetoric and argument galvanizes
the Confederacy, and gives to it dignity
and recognition never claimed for it by its
most devoted partisans.
All this is done under the pretense that
it Is but in accord with precedents estab-
lished by the highest legal tribunal on the
continent. The claim is alike unfounded
and unjust to the body referred to. 1t is
true that in very qualified sense the
rebel government has been recognized as a
dc fdct0 government. But it was so recOg-
nized only to save its adherents from the
severer penalties inflicted by law upon men
guilty of treason. The instruction attain
ed to such proportions that in subduing it
the present Government could not pursue
the insurgents personally and deal with
them indiriduoUyas thelsw wouldwarrant.
The numbers to be dealt with made it ne
cessary that the authorities at Washington
should treat with them as an army entitled
for the time being to the rights of belliger-
ents. This is as far as the political or judi
cial departments of the general Govern
ment have ever gone. But our Supreme
Court have gone very much farther. They
have given to the military department a
recognition much broader and significant
than any ever given by the decisions to
which we have referred and have accorded
to the civil department protection never
before granted by any decision within our
knowledge. They have in effect decided
that the Confederacy was a nation, and
unless we mistake it, nation of equal dig
nifty with our own.

rHE NEWS FROM METZ.

We are again treated to sensational dis
patch from Metz. Bazaine, with force of
so, 600 men, it is said, made sortie from
the besieged city and crushed the Prus-
slams. This is another .of the Worlds
specials, we suppose, and about as reliable
as the others we have had. Of course it
is not impossible that sortie took place
and that it may have been successful, but
we do not believe any movement of the
force reported took place. 1t is too soon af-
teHthe disastrous repulse of aweek agoand
too near the and for the Germans to be re-
pulsed
