AMONG the reprint items in the
Journal of the 9Th instant was a
that lit is announced that
the Commissioner of Pensions has
revised the Bounty laws, and decided
that all who have served in any Of
the wars i'm which the country has
been engaged since 1900, and prior to
March, 1866, are entitled to one hun.
dred and sixty acres of land"
This was sent to the Commissioner
of Pensions, Hon. j. HI. Baker, who
returned the Endorsement, military
service performed since March 3,
1855, does not entitle to bounty land
warrants."- ~ Chicago Journal.
This settles a point of great interest

The Waterloo Courier attempts to
belittle the friends of Senator Har-
Ian by a comparison of men in the
State, who are held up as the oppon-
ents of one party, and vice versa.-
If the editor of the Courier supposes
that he can effect the question by
any such "boonaerans'' he Is much
mistaken. The attempted argument
is extremely silly. We have no
doubt but that there are many good
men who are the friends of Mr.. ALI.
son, but that they compose any con-
siderable number of the leading
public men of the State Is utterly
without foundation. The course
which the Courier has pursued i'm its
wild and frantic zeal for its locality"
can didate, in thus traducing and
slandering all who do not see the
same man for U. S. Senator, is not
only lacking in argument but is
utterly unwarrented in n claiming
respect and common decency. We
want to see a fair discussion of this
question but that it should be carried
into personal attacks upon men, who
are so far above the editor of the
Courier in character, reputation, hon
or or brains, as Henry Clay was above
Henry Clay Dean, is a species of
journalism that should be frowred
upon as too contemplate to he toler-
ated. When Woodruff, as editor of
the Iowa Falls Sentinel, was receiving
the "walloping" from the pen of
Mcbride, we had the sympathy to
believe las we always have for the
under dog that they were unjustly
severe, but the course which the
Courier has pursued, under his edit
orial management, on the Senator
controversy, leaves no doubt in the
minds of the people that the severe
car:igations were justly deserved
Whoever may be elected y. S., SEN
ator, let the honor and dignity of
BlackH Co. journalism be main
atined.

DR.. A. s. Welsh, President of our
State Agricultural College, says
"There has been no objection to the
admission of ladies. We have about
fifty; they occupy n wing of the
building. / have been asked II they
gave trouble In their intercourse with
young men? Yes, they do q little
occasionally, and but a little. With
us, as to intellectual capacity, the
sexes appear to be about equal. The
difficulties we have with them are
far less than with young men alone.
Our best chemist, working in the
analytical laboratory, is a girl of
seventeen. The girls do all the
homework. A matron superintends
the girls, and there 10 also a general
housekeeper.u

Forgotten in the Heat Of the Contest.

The enemies of Senator Har-
Ian have seemed to suddenly
forget that in his past record of four
teen years of public life there Is any,
thing to commend. They have join
ed liz grand crusade to write him
down and thereby secure his defeat.
Consequently, when the time came
for the agitation of the question or
his successor, the dogs of wal set up
their fiendish howl and everything
thought to avail anythings whether
contemplate Or false, was advanced.
Mr.. Harlan has been tradtced and
~slandered in q manner d~egra1ing to
manly journalism and the State Of
Iowa. We remember when present
at.the Soldiers and Sailors conven-
ton, held in Chicago on the day
previous to the assembling Of the
National Republican Convention,
thst Turner's Hail rang with deafn-
Ing shouts of the thousands who
were present, at the mention of the
name Of Senator Harlan. The APP
plause which his proved record then
elected, from the representative men
of other States in the Union as well
as u own, was a compliment to
Iowa as we'll as deserved trib ute to a
faithful and tried public servant
Can it be that his record, SO proud to
refer to then, only a little over three
years ago, has become so black and
defaced as his enemies would have it
appear, simply because some other
man wants his place? Has it come
to this that the reputation of our
Iowa Statesman must be blackened
and Scared by villiasous, lying,
sheets in order to accomplish his
defeat u? Can it be that the black flag
has become the emblem OF the AL
lison, Wilson aud Dodge defenders
and that the competition of these
must be shot down by the arrows
calumny and slanderous assaults?-
We think not. We believe with the
Burlington Hnwkeye that they have
Overshot the mark and they will fail.
The representatives of the Republi-
of Iowa, in the General.Assemb-
ly, will put their seal of disapproba-
ton 'on this foul attempt to destroy
and drive from public life n of the
ablest and purest of American states
men, and one who has done more,
perhaps, certainly as much, as any
other one of her citizens to give Iowa
the proud distinction which she
bears of being the first Of Republican
States. ..'.

Thunder and Lightning.

The cold spell of the past few days
was succeeded last night by an all

flashes of lightning and peals OF

like that of early spring.
