PUTTING DOWN MURDER.
An Appeal to. Wo.nanhood through
ont the World.

Again in the sight of the christian
world, have the skill and power of
two great nations exhausted them
selves in mutual murder. Again
have the sacred questions of inter-
national justice been committed to
the fatal mediation of military
weapons. In this day of progress,
in this century of light, the cmula-
ton ofrulers has been allowed to bar
ter the dear interests Of domestic
life for the bloody exchange Of the
battlefield. Thus men have done,
thus men will do.
But women need no longer be
made a party to proceedings which
fill the world with grief and horror.
Despite the assumptions of physical
force, the mother has a grave and
commanding word to say to the sons
who owe their life to her suffering.
That word should now be spoken
and answered to as never before.
Arise, then Christian women
throughout the land! Arise, all
women who have hearts, whether
baptized in water or tears. Say
firmly: eve will not have great
questions decided by irrelevant
agencies. Our husbands shall not
come to us, rocking with carnage,
for caresses and applause. Our sons
shall not be taken from us to I'M
learn all that we can teach them of
charity, mercy, and patience. We,
women Of one country, will be too
tender to those of another country
to allow our sons to be trained to
injure theirs. From the bosom of
the devastated earth voice goes up
with ours! 1t says: "Disarm!
Disarm! The sword of murder is
not the scale of justice. Blood does
not wipe out dishonor, nor violence
vindicate possession" AS men have
often forsaken the field and anvil at
the summons of war, let women now
leave all that may be left at home
for a great and earnest day of coun-
Gil. Let them first meet as women
to beWall and commemorate the
dead. Let them there solemnly take
council with each other as to the
means and measures whereby the
great human family may live in
peace, man as the brother of man,
each bearing after his own kind the
image and superscription, not of
Cns.r but of God
In the name of woomanhood and
humanity, earnestly ask that a
general Congress of women, without
limitation of country, may be called
and held at some point deemed pro-
per and convenient, to promote the
general alliance Of nations, the ami
cable arbitrament Of difficulties, the
great and enduring interests of
peace.

Cole.

We devote considerable space
this week to a partial report of
the inquisition by a portion of the
State Central Committee last week
at Dubuque, Of the charges brought
against Judge Cole by several papers
in Northern Iowa. Our readers
will remember that we have here
tofore suspended Judgment with re-
gard to the particular matters in
vestigated until more light could be
obtained, although we have not
scruplcd to criticise the action of
Judge Cole in other matters not in
volving his character for personal
integrity, or grave enough to Justify
us in deliberately boiling his nomi-
nation, but as we conceived, undig-
nified and inappropriate to his posi-
ton. We have from the first felt
that the charges made by our re-
spccted contemporary the Delaware
Co. Union, were susceptible of such
explanation as should relieve Judge
Cole from the imputation of dis
honesty in the transaction referred
to by them. We think the investi-
cation at Dubuque justifies such eS-
pcctation. In our opinion no can
did or fair man will deny that the
statement made by Judge Cole, and
the letter |,f Mr.. Parvin accompany
ing it, regarding the Masonic mat
ter, and given in another column,
relieves the former from the charge
of dishonesty in fact or intention,
Judge Cole is not our favoritc for
the position for which he is candi-
date; we think we could easily
select from the Republican ranks a
dozen men who would better square
with our conception Of what a judi
cial officer should be, but it is but
justice to him to record our opinion
that the charges of corruption made
him have not been proved, and are
groundless. If this opinion is not
dressed in as forid language as
that found in the report Of the COM
mittee it is the fault of our style
rather than our faith.

Some umdiplomatic rutfian in a
London newspaper, referring to a
direct contradiction in the state
ments of Bismarck and the celebra-
ted Russell, OF the London Times,
says one or the other of them has
lied. This is most libelous and
scandalous allegation, growing out
of the ignorance OF the fellow max
ing ii of the habits and customs of
diplomacy. The proper thing to
say is that Bismarck and Russell
have come upon difference in the
construction of a fact, but that ne
gotiations have been entered into
whereby it is hoped that the state
ments of both gentlemen, though
of a Numerically opposite charac-
ter, will prove to be correct. The
honor of two great nations requires
this, and the triumphs of diplomacy
will render it comparatively easy.

The Davenport Gazette is in
favor Of a Constitutional Convcn-
ton for five principal reasons: To
fill the Supreme Judgeships by APP
pointment of the Governor, and to
make it q life tenure, or up to sixty
five years of age, to provide clear
statement of the aid that can be
publicly given or voted to railroads;
to secure more rigid guardianship
of the school fund; and to establish
provision for the equitable assess
of all property, public or private,
in the State,

THE CONGRESSIONAL DEBATERs.
During hasty trip which We
made this week to our old home in
the upper Cedar Valley, we had OPP
portunity to test the accuracy of the
statements of the long-Bow-man of
Dubuque Herald, as to the impress
sion produced by the Congressional
candidates on their speaking tour
through the District. Knowing
nothing of Mr.. Stoneman as a speak
er except by report we were always
disposed to accord him a glibncss
of tongue and readiness Of mere
words not possessed by Mr.. DOMAIN.
But we found on comforting with
candid men who have heard the de-
bates, that even this superiority is
not apparent, and that on the score
Of sound argument, Donnan is more
than match for the Democratic
candidate. The former has won
golden opinions in all that region
from men who had formed an in
different estimate of his powers.
but who professed themselves agree,
ably disappointed with the address
and ability with which he met the
assaults of his opponent, and i'll
turn assumed the offensive.
But while this must be said fol
Donnan, it is but justice to Stone
man to say that he is not at his
best. He seems to be jaded, listlcss
and discouraged. He appears to
his audience to have become thor
oughly wearied and disguised with
the continued fiddling on the one
string Of the tariff, the role assign
ell him by his managers, and SUI
premcly Indifferent as to the result
There is not Il particle of cnthusi
asm in his speeches, nor magnetism
in his presence. He merely speaks
his piece and subsidies. We al
first set out to protest against this
dismal picture, but our friends, in
Usage particularly, one and all
maintained that it was strictly true
of his effort there.

The memorable census returns are
pricking many bubble. To-wit:
st. Louis has population of $780,
s63, while that Of boastful, preten-
tious Chicago falls short of 100000.
In view of these figures, the super
ciliously patronizing air habitually
assumed by Chicogo papers toward
the "viAage on the Mississippi"
seems ludicrously ridiculous.

Shocking Treatment of the Cuban
Ladies by the Spaniards.
NEW York. Oct.

NEW \ DIRK, Oct. q.
An account of the shocking treat
ment Of the Cuban ladies by the
Spaniards, in Havana, appears in 4
correspondence from that city on
the 23rd ult. Twenty prisoners, AL
women and children, reached IIa-
vana by railway and were led from
the depot to prison under guard,
and all of them, even children only
5 and years old, being tightly
pinioncd by the arms. AT the head
of some young ladies of Is years,
both were hand -cunned. One the
daughter-in-law ofprcsidcnt Ccsped-
es, the other the daughter of Gen.
Figuercdo, who was recently garro-
ted in Santiago. The ladies were
all members of the best families on
the Island. AS these unfortunate
creatures passed through the street
the Spanish mob jeered and threa-
tened them, and in some instances
attempted violence.

The Republican Judicial Conven-
ton of the 18th District, which met
at Charles City on Thursday of last
week to nominate candidate for
District Judge in place of Fairfield,
resigned, balloted 46e time before a
nomination was effected. The prin-
cipal contestants were Ruddick, of
Wavcrly; Card, of Mason City;
Poindexter, of Mitchell; and Reini-
ger, of Charles City. Mr.. Ruddick,
is the successful candidate. His
superior qualifications for the posi-
ton are generally conceded.
