IOWA.

Iowa, that good old reliable Re
publican State, which is out of debt,
has money on interest, and pays
less rate of taxes than any other
State in the Union, has done nobly,
as she always does, giving a major
ity Of upwards of 10000 for the
Republican ticket, and gaining sew
eral members of the Legislature.
On account of the late fires in Chi
cago and the northwest, little atten-
ton was paid to election news. The
following gives the result in the Leg
islature:
The house will be composed of
one hundred and fifty members
forty-nine in the Senate and one
hundred and one in the House. The
Senate will this session be compos-
ed Of forty-one Republicans; one
independent Republican and seven
Democrats, the latter numbering the
same as last session. The House
will have eighty Republicans-three
or four of them independents" and
twenty one Democrats. gain Of
seven over last session. There will
be one hundred and twenty. two
votes in the Republican caucus, re-
lquiring sixty-two to nominate. So
siNty-two is the number to be fgur-
ed or, ,and whosoever secures it is the
Senator to come.

LACK OF COAL.

Louisville has only about $4,000
bushels of coal left in her yards,
and fears utter destitution in about
ten days time. The alarm in the
city is becoming very great and
the poor dread the increase in the
price Of fuel. New Albany has co.
600 bushels to spare, and there are
nearly half a million bushels, intend
ed for Southern markets, lying be-
low the falls, waiting for high water
This, with what little can be procur-
ed by rail, is what the city has to
depend upon. Such crises as this
are of no very uncommon occurrence
in the Ohio river towns, and will
doubtless remain so until they unite
and render the Ohio navigable at
all seasons.

THE CAMPAIGN OVER.

For some weeks we have been
compelled to take up most of the
space in the REPUBLICAN with polit-
ical reading, and nothing else could
be expected of us, as it was duty
We owed to our readers and the po-
litical party whose principles we es-
pouse. We are now at liberty to
come back to a general newspaper,
a thing which We aie very anxious
for. Our aim is, and always shall
be, to make the REPUBLICAN a good
reliable family newspaper. Local
interests and local news shall receive
our constant care and attention, and
by the aid Of our friends every
where, we can make our paper one
that will be sought after by every
well-regulated family. To this end
we ask hearty cooperation of ev-
cry subscriber. 1t will be bene-
fit to you and credit to the paper.
There are few things, however, of
a local nature, and yet political in
one sense, to which we shall feel
called upon to refer while the minds
of the people are not over excited
with a warm political campaign, and
in doing so we will be able to give
facts and figures at time when par
tisan feeling shall have been tempo
rarily laid to one side.

HON. THOMAS EWING.

This venerable statesman is dead.
He was one Of the last remnants OF
a generation Of giants, cotempor-
alton of Clay, Webster, Calhoun,
Haynes, Corwin, and those others
who helped to form that brilliant
assemblage whose fame still fingers,
like the odor of musk around the
Senate Chamber Of the United
States. Mr.. Ewing was born on the
2Sth of December, 1889, and was
married in 1920 to Miss. Maria
Boyle, of Lancaster, O., with whom
he lived until 1854, when she died,
He was a man of more ability than
success. He very nearly received
the nomination to the Vice Presi-
dency which Millard Fillmore got,
and twice he was defeated by sin
gle vote, when a candidate for Sena-
tor of the United States. He first
entered the United States Senate
in 1870, and was afterwards chosen
by President Harrison to fill the
post of Secretary of the Treasury.
Gen. Taylor appointed him to the
Secretaryship of the Interior, after
resigning which office he was once
again chosen a member of the Sen,
ate, and then closed his congression'
al career. His death bed was sur
rounded by his distinguished chill,
dren, Hon. Thomas Ewing Jr., Gen
Charles Ewing, Gen. Hugh Ewing,
Judge Philemon Ewing, Mrs. Cen
Sherman and Mrs. Col. Steele

DENSE SMOKE.

The Chicago Tribune says, "The
smoke from the burning forests has
been so dense for several days past
on the Lakes that vessels find it dan
gerous to move, and the steamers
burn lights constantly by day as well
as by night. On Tuesday the wind
from the northeast brought the pill
lar of cloud over the city, and the
streets and houses were filled with
it. Outside the harbor were several
vessels, the officers of which were
afraid to attempt to enter the port,
on account of the unnatural dark
ness, that made the sun seem to
"turn to BLOOD" as is promised
shall be the case when the earth is
DESTROYED by fire.

THE MORMON REGION.
Hawkins Sentenced.
SALT LAKE. Oct %.


Chief Justice Mexican this fore
noon passed sentence on Thomas
Hawkins, the polygamist,as follows:
"Thomas Hawkins I am sorry tor
you, very sorry. You may not
think 80 now, but 1 shall try to
make you think SO by the mercy
which 1 shall show you. You came
from England to this country with
the wife of your youth. For many
years You was a loving husband and
kind father. At length, however,
the evil spirit tempted and possess
ed you. Then happiness departed
from your home, and now by the
compliant of your faithful wife and
the verdict of law abiding jury,
you stand at this bar a convicted
criminal. The law gives me large
discretion in passing sentence on
you. 1 might both fine aAd impris-
on, or l might fine you only or ina
prison. 1 might imprison you
twenty years and fine you 1000.
1 can't imprison you less than three
years nor fine you less than $500.
1t is right that you should be fined,
among other rebels, to help defray
the expenses of enforcing the laws,
but my experience in Utah has been
such that, were I to fine you only.
am satisfied that the fine would be
paid out of other than yours, and
that you would go free absolutely
from all punishment, and then those
men who misled the people would
make you and thousands of others
believe God had sent the money to
| pay the fine, that God had prevent
ed the court from sending you to
| Jail, that by a miracle you had been
rescued from the authorities of the
United States. 1 must look to it
that my Judgment be not so severe
as to seem vindictive and not so
light as to seem to trife with justice.
This community ought to begin to
learn that God does not interpose to
rescue criminals from the conse-
quences of their crimes, but on the
contrary, he SO orders the affairs of
his universe, that sooner or later,
crime stands face to face with JUS
tice, and l will say, here and now,
that whenever your good behavior
and the public good shall justify me
in doing SO, will gladly recommend
that you be pardoned. The judg-
ment of the Court is that you be
fined $500, and that you be impris-
oned at hard labor for the term Of
three years."

QUEEN vIcToRIA's HEALTH.

The continued health of Queen
Victoria causes much unrest and
uneasiness in England. Her preemp-
tory refusal to establish regency
developed the fact that she to shares
in the popular belief that her sue
cessor will hardly be accepted by the
people from her own family house
hold. If a vicarious Government
were successfully established during
the life of the Queen the chances
for elevation to the throne of her
profligate son, the Prince of Wales
would grow beautifully less. 1t
seems more apparent every day
that change in the form of Govern
ment in England is one of the proba-
bilities of the near future.

'Oh-ah; we'll l rode ont on q

The following characteristic fu.
neral item is from the Kansas City
Times of the 10th: "T'he funeral oil
Mike Williams. shot by Wild Bill,
at Abilene, took place in this city an
Sunday. Wild Bill paid the expen-
ses of the funeral"
One of the saddest scenes at Chi
cago was that of a woman kneeline
in the street with a crucilix held up
before her and her dress burning
while she prayed. While in this at
titude a runaway truck dashed her
to the ground.
The London Times says: "The
American war has shown how pro
digious are the resources of the
United States, which emerged from
the struggle with credit and re-
nown placing them in the front rank
of nations"
"Boss" Tweed, the great Demo
cratic thief of New York, who gave
fifty thousand dollars Of bis steal
ings from the public treasury to the
poor of his Ward for the purpose OF
making votes for himself and the
Democratic party, has not given a
dollar to the relief of the Chicago
sufferers.

ExCITEM EMIT IN UTAH,

Several arrests have been made
for murder. Warrants are out for
the arrest Of Brigham Young, and
his son Joseph A Young, on the
charge Of murder in having order
ed the killing of Richard Yates.
The indictments in all these muir
der cases are understood to be
founded on the testimony Of Bill
Hickman, who was once what is
termed by the Gentiles DANTE or
secret agent of Che Mormon authori-
ties. Yates visited the Mormon
camp during tbs rebellion of 1859,
ostensibly to sell powder. The
Mormons regarded him as a
spy, and some weeks afterward ar
rested him and placed him in custo
dy of Hickman to be taken to Salt
Lake. D. Wells then commanded
the Mormon troops, and Hosea
Stout was Judge Advocate. On the
way to Salt Lake he killed Yates,
as he says, by orders from Brigham
and Joseph A. Young, and at the
instigation Of Wells and Stout.
Hickman also is now confined at
Camp Douglas, and went with
the officers to Echo Canon, and af-
ter pointing out the spot where he
had buried Yates, assisted in disin.
terment of the body.

TAMMANY THIEVES.

Charles OConnor states that it
can be clearly shown that Tweed
and his associates fraudulently OBJ
tanned from the Broadway Bank,
without color of rights some $5,000,-
900. Recovery can be obtained
against Tweed unless interfered
with by corrupt legislation within
80 days. Woodward was the cor
rupt agent through whom Tweed
worked. An opportunity will short
ly be given to show how the warrants
were obtained from Connoly's Office.
OConnor does not believe that
Mayor Hall either had a dollar or
knew what was going.on, but blames
the Mayor for standing by others
and acting as a shield after the facts
became known. The burden of
proof lies against Tweed, and the
enginery of the law is directed
against him. If Ingersoll does not
leave he will be arrested, and proba-
bly, lose all his property. O'Con-
nor's efforts will be to protect what
is left, and so prevent a recurrence
of robberies, and says Tweed hopes
to get to the Legislature again and
have more corrupt bill passed, and
go back to his office in the Board of
Public Works, and to carry on his
former corrupt transactions. This
.O'Connor says, must be prevented.
Tweed shall have all the investiga-
ton he wants.

WEALTH OF BERLIN.
