The Ottumwa COURIER and few other
papers are disposed TO raise the question
Of Free Trade VS.. Protection, in connec-
ton with the Senatorial question TO urge
it againt MIR. Allison that he is not Pro-
tectionist.
The folly of springipg this issue is part
and lot Of the damaging folly Of this en-
tire Senatorial controversy a contrever.
sy outrageous and shameful that
without reason or proyocation, and with
out single legitimate defense, is, for the
| first time in seventeen years, breaking the
Republican party OF Iowa into factions
and thrusting division and quarrel into
every locality. 1t is supreme shame.
No man in Iowa NO, nor any ten of them,
! in Congress or out, are worth one week OF
the ruinous quarrel now going on in this
! State.
And. as If this needless quarrel about
men were not enough, some Iowa Repub-
! lioan papers now want to thrust into this
quarrel OF men controversy about mea-
sures that, if insisted on, would break
the Republican party wide apart. We
entreat the parties to tho Senatorial con-
troversy to avoid that one folly. The an
rti-Protection element of the Republican
party are willing to refer this entire ques-
ton TO the arena Of legislation, confident
that wise law -making adjusted to the con.
dition and demands of the country and
the enlightment of the age will constant
~ gravitate towards the policy they favor.
so they are willing to keep the discuss
ION outside of the party politics. If they
don't raise the issue the protection ele-
lnent of the party had best not do it. ~
And especially they can't afford to under
element Of the party.--Gate City.
The Ottumwa COURIER is doing no
such thing. We have never raised
the question Of Protection or Free
Trade against Mr.. Allison. Our great
fault, we suppose, is in copying an
article from the Hawkeye, showing
that Mr.. Allison sympathised with a
class of men inimical to the Republi
can party, such as Augustus Belmont,
Sunset Cox, A. Oaky Hall, Brooks,
and others OF tho Free Trade
League OF New York city, aud who
reoiced at the defeat Of such men as
Greeley, Of New York, and SchenclS,
of Ohio, and who sent paid enissa-
RIGS, such AS Theodore Sbriner, of
Pennsylvania, and Gen. Brinkerhotf.
Of Ohio, into this Congressional bis
trict, thinking there might be disaf-
lection in the Republican ranks, and
that thus they might secure the de-
feat Of Gov. Walden, and the election
Of VIM. i. Smith. the Democratic
candidate. That League had q BAN
4nct in New York, and especially in.
Vited VIM. b, Allison to attend, and |
ne replied that he was sorry that he
,nuld not do so. If he WAS not in /
with this Foreign Free
Trade League, why did he say he
pas sorry he could not be with them?

laiIa 20 or as Noyes translates it, ga man of many
associates brings upon himself ruin" Prov. 1924.
"A Hawaiian who had spent some time in Oregon
returned to Honolulu in company with his employer,
having in his possession quite a sum of money, the
fruit of his earnings. This money he committed to.
his employer for safe keeping. But he kept going to
him, now for a smaller, again for a larger sum. His
employer inquired the cause Of his frequent coming,
and he answered that his friends importuned him for
money, and he could not deny them. and thus he
continued to draw on his funds until, in the course
of a few months, his last hapdtcdiu had disappeared.
In Lange's commentary the proverb is rendered,
"a man of (many) friends will prove himself
base.'' With this meaning the proverb has also
exempli6cation among Hawalians. a school super
intendent, who was also treasurer of the district,
while in office, was often applied to, by his friends,
for small sums of money. Whether he ever said to any
of the applicants, may, [ am not informed. After a
few wears he was found to be a defaulter to the
amount of 81. 900 or 81 200. 1t is by no means to
be supposed that he let his friends have so much as
this. If he was so destitute of moral principle as to
furnish his friends with school money, he would not
be scrupulous as to helping himself in the same way.
When half a dozen or a dozen friends quarter
themselves upon a poor native for a y week or fort
night, he finds himself in straits His weeks poi
and beef they devour in two days. He gives his
bed up to them and sleeps on the floor. Their breath
SO heats and vitiates the air of his small dwelling
that he can scarcely endure it through the night
and his mats soon become too dirty to be used.
Day after day he wishes them in the moon, or
some other good place but they say nothing about
going. AT length his calabash is empty, his little
store of cash is exhausted, and so is his patience.
Driven almost to desperation, he makes no further
effort to replenish his ~calabash, and his guests soon
take their departure. perhaps without so much as
saying aloha.
In our English Bible this proverb reads, ga man
that hath friends must show himself friendly The
pastor of a native church on Hawaii having selected
this proverb for his text, and having studied his SER
mon in accordance with its sentiment, was taken oil
aback on looking into his Hawaiian Bible to find
that the man of many friends is declared to be
poino. He, however, pronounced the proverb true,
as far as Hawaiians are concerned. AuoUIs.

Early California journalism.

SIN its earliest days q California paper appeared

the meantime we must use two Vs.
The first newspaper in the English language
printed in California, was the Californian, in
which the above paragraph appeared. When the
Americans captured Monterey during the Next
can war, among the spoils was a wooden printing
press-known among printers as a "Ramage"-
and a font Of small plea, that bad been used for
printing the proclamations of the Mexican au-
thorities. With the aid of a printer discovered
on board one Of the men-ofwar, the Rev. Walter
Cotton, chaplain of the Commodore's ship, started
a weekly newspaper with the above title, and a
queer specimen of photography it was. It was
subsequently, removed to Yerba Buena, now San
Francisco, and was published by Cotton & Semple
for a time-tbe latter the owner and founder OF
Benecia city. In l847, it came into the posses
sion of B. Z. Buckelew, a philosophical watch
maker, who kept a little shop about where now
is found the corner of Sansone and Washington
streets, near CIark's Point. After running the
paper for a time, Buekelew sold to j. ID. Hoppe,
