A Transparent Trick.

A year ago last winter, when Judge
Wright vas elected over Allison,
Gen. Dodge, Wilson and Allison
commenced scheming for the vacan-
cy of Mr.. aHarlan, and Allison's
chances were to be tried again; but
some months since, when the press
of the State SO strongly expressed
approval of Senator Harlan for his de-
fence of the President, Allison pre-
pared to decline the race In a public
letter. From this course, which
would have been wise one. he was
dissuaded by Dodge and Wilson,
Hence the candidacy of Wilson takes
no one by surprise. 1t Ii only part
of a deeply plotted scheme to defeat
Harlan, by demoralizing his strength
in the southern part of the State,
The real animus crops :out on every
side. The Fairfield Ledger, his
home paper. says, Mr.. Wilson will
let the Legislature do as 1t pleases, IL
elected he will ACCEPT. The Ledger.
mark it. does not formerly declare
him a candidate. So immediately
thereafter Wilson goes east and IN

back giving Mr.. WIS prophesy that
Allison, will be elected. If that

Wilson, with bis own consent, put
upon the track? Is 1t for the luxury

A Hopeless Case.

Nothing shows the hopelessness of
w. B. Allison's chances for the Sem
atorship. more significantly than
the nanouvering of his friends. -
James F. Wilson allows his home
paper to say that the next Legisla-
ture will be left free to elect him, Ii
the members shall see proper, and he
will submit, and then goes to New
York and telegraphs to Washington
that Allison 10 sure of the nomina-
ton. The Dubuque Times also an
nounces positively that Mr.. Allison
Is still on the track. These assuran-
ces were found necessary. "a it was
understood that whenever Wilson
came out as candidate, Allison was
virtually used up and must with
draw. This wire pulling means but
one thing. Allison Is beaten, and
his friends know 1t. The only hope
Of defeating Harlan Is In bringing
Wilson on the track, with the view
of holding Allison's strength for
Wilson, and at the same time divide
the friends OF Harlan. That kind of
q game might do, providing Allison,
Wilson and Dodge own the next
Legislature, but IL Is presumed that
they will not. The people will have
something TO say In this matter, and
the merits Of men may possibly en-.
ter into the Senatorial question. yam

An earnest contest for the United
States Senatorship In Iowa has ais
ready set I'm between Senator Harlan
and ex-Congressman Allison. Mr..
Allison Is an active, earnest politi-
clan of the northern portion of the
State. Something has been claimed
from locality, but most of the names
on the State ticket have been selected
from Allison's section, thus neutral
izing this objection to the return of
Mr.. Harlan. With the exception of
a brief period in Mr.. Lincoln's Cabi-
net Mr.. Harlan has represented Iowa
in the TT. 8. Senate continuously
since 1854, being the first Republican
ever from that State. He Is one Of
the eldest and ablest members Of the
present Senate. >1@
without wishing to intermeddle
in the local affairs Of the party in
that State we cannot. nevertheless.
refrain from the expression of the
hope that the national councils may
not be deprived of his sound judg-
ment, broad experience, sagacious
craftsmanship and great moral worth.
We allow that the party I'm Iowa pos
sesses many worthy and able men,
but we only express common senti-
ment when we say that In the inter-

AS steadfast advocate of compul-
sorry education, we feel like throwing
up our hat over the advance step
taken by New Hampshire. At the
last session of the Legislature In that
State, an act was passed compelling
the attendance oil, children at school.
Every PARENTS required to send his
child, when between the ages OF
eight and fourteen years, to some
school within two miles of his resi-
dence, for twelve weeks I'm each year
unless instruction equivalent to that
in the public school be given at
home or in private institution. A
neglect to observe the provisions of
this compulsory law Is punishable
by a fine of ten dollars for the first
offence. and twenty dollars for the
second or for any subsequent viola
ton. 49," 81
This is the first State law of any
kind, and its practical workings will
be watched with great interest.
The Philadelphia Press says sit Ii
very certain that some remedy of
this character is fast becoming me-
cessity in this country, especially in
the States lately In rebellion. III the
ballot is to be welded by all, then
education should prepare all to use 1t
intelIigently. On no other basis can
republican government rest with
safety. !
1.-The question OF compulsory laws
Is now attracting much attention.
In most educational conventions and
jourra ais the matter Is freely discuss
ed, and the experiment In New
Hampshire will soon afford us bet
ter opportunity OF determining
whether such laws would be desira-
BILE and expedient in the other States
of the Republic" ...-... ..-.'.
The Granite State has sounded the
key note for a higher civilization In
this country and we hope the day Is
not far distant when Iowa will be
GLOWING suit.
