Where Shall We Col

The press of the State is already
discussing a whereabouts as an objec,
tive point for an excursion next sum-
mer. We observe that some who
swelled under the prodigal hospitali-
ty and hot sun of st. Louis, last sea-
son, are disposed to go in an opposite
direction, and suggest st. Paul. We
certainly would be willing to try a
change of air, and hereby announce
that our voice is for st. Paul and
Duluth, in June or July-nOt SO late
as last year. West Union Gazette.
That's it-go to Duluth. and then
out on the North Pacific Road, as far
as it extends by that time. We
second the motion. -E2kader JOvrndL
We vote for Duluth providing Con-
gresham Knott of Kentucky will
accompany the excursion, and deliv-
er before the fraternity an other
speech on the University of that en-
bryO metropolis.

Editing Il Newspaper.

s. w. Swiggett, formerly editor OF
the Sioux City Eagle. now the editor
of the Munce (Ind.) Telegraph,
prints the following sensible words
in recent issue of his journal:
MANY people estimate the ability
of a newspaper and tie industry aud
talents Of its editor by the quantity
of editorial matter which it contains.
1t is comparatively an easy task for
frOthy writer to pour out daily,
columns of wOrds-wOrds upon any
and all subjects. His ideas may flow
in 'one weak, washy, everlasting
food, and his command of language
may enable him to string them to-
gether, like punches of onions, and
yet his paper bea meager poor con-
Germ. But what is the labor and toll
of such a man, who displays his lead
ed matter ever SO largely, to that i'm
posed on the judicious, well informs
ed editor, who exercises his vocation
with an hourly consciousness of re-
spOnsibilities and devOtes himself to
the conduct Of his paper with the
same care and assiduity that q sensi.
bic lawyer bestows on suit, or hui
name physician on patient, with
out regard to show or display? In
deed, the mere writing part Of edit
ing a paper is but a small portion of
the work. The core is the sime en-
ployed in selecting far more import
ant matter, and :he fact of o good
editor, is better shown by his select.
ion than anything else, and that we
know Is half the battle. But, as we
have said, Ga editor ought to be esti-
mated, and his labors understood and
appreciated, by the general conduct
OF his paper-its toue-its temper
its uniform, consistent course-its
aims-its manliness
its dignity-its propriety. TO pre-.
serve these as they should be pre-
served is enough to occupy fully the
attention OF any man."

From Franco,

The number Of insurgents now
under arms in Paris is reported OF
10000. An army Of $4,000 of them
marched out of one of the northern
gates of the city last Sunday, and
were suddenly and unexpectedly
fired upon by the heavy guns Of Fort
Nalerien. The loss in killed, wound-
ed and missing, is reported at 1900.
a Paris dispatch states that 100, 600 OF
tie insurgent Nationals marched
out of Paris for Versailles, and sub
sequent Versailles dispatch reports
that the insurgents We're attacked by
the Government troops and effectual-
ly routed. The Widest excitement
prevails. France has seen dark days
but never so dark as now.
The Chicago Journal says, that the
Theirs Government at Versailles rel.
terates the announcement that it has
routed the Paris insurgents; but these
trenchmen are SO in the habit OF
jumping at conclusions" that we
are not ready to give the report full
credence as yet. 1t appears to be a
fact, however, that portion Of the
insurgentsParis army has received a
serious repulse, and that the reign OF
terror in the city is worse now than
ever.

WE find the following comment in
the Washington daily Chronicle OF
March Slst:
THE friends of the Administration
were yesterday quite jubiIant over
the pungent and forcibie reply OF
Senator Harlan to Senators Sumner
and Schurz. They contrast the effect
of the speech with that of Senator
Sumner, and affirm that it produced
Il stronger feeling and a greater effect
on the audience in the galleries than
that of Mr.. Sumner. They speak
with enthusiasm of the numerous
congratulations OF Senators, of MEM
bers Of the House, and Of many 9TH
ers who listened to it.
The speech will be printed and
widely circulated as compact and
yet complete and convincing de-
Tense OF the President.

EhRta VI NpAAt AiAHlA AASttNh'
The S2dtc Register mentions sever
al probable candidates for the office
of Supt. of Public Instruction, and
also says it ia understood that MIR.
Kissell, the present incumbent, will
be candidate While we have no
personal feeling against Mr.. Kissell,
we hope for the good of the educa-
tional interests of the State, that
he may not receive the nomina-
ton for q second term. He has
not the ability to express him
self clearly, concisely nor SYSTEM
atically. As proof of this, we re-
fer our readers to the bill drawn by
him and presented for the action of
the last legislature, which, after re-
peated readings by the members, was
found unintelligjble, and as dernicr
resort he was called up to explain
what he wanted; his last effort killed
thesb bill entirely. This office is not
first in rank, neither is it second in
Importance. 1t demands live, prac-
teal. thinker, and not only
one who knows what ought to
be done, but who has the sympathy
of the public men Of our State to aid
him in his work. We know that
Mr.. KisseIl does not hold the sympa-
thy of the people of Iowa to day in
educational matters, and we look
upon the election of q man to that
Office who would be repugnant to the
members of our next legislature, az
calamity to the public school inter
ests of Iowa. We know too, that he
does not have the sympathy and CO.
operation of the leading educational
workers of our State, and his influ-
ence is therefore paralyzed to such
an extent as to be of little or no SER
vice to our public schools.
We speak plainly on this import
ant subject, because we understand
that a ring" is at work now to force
Mr.. Kissell upon the State q second
term. We have seen the folly OF
waiting until after the Convention
has been held and the candidates are
chosen. Our educational matters are
too important to be overlooked. The
Register truly says, the Office will
not 60 begging for good men, but
does not mention, in its list of can
didates, one of the best men in oil
out side of the State. We refer tC
Professor Jerome Allen. A man o.
thorough education, Of ripe expert
ence in educational matters, ant
whose judgment is respected every
where. We have not consulted Mr.
Allen as to whether he would allow
his name to come before the Conven
ton, but we feel that his nomina
ton would receive the universal en-
dorsement of the people wherever III
is known. He has been employed
for some years past as State Lecture
in Connecticut, and also, conduc
tor Of Institutes in New York
For the past year he ha'
been employed in conducting Nor
NAL Schools and Institutes through
out our State. He is thoroughly &C
quainted with the educational wants
of Iowa, and is such man as the
Office demands.

A MOBILE man, who inadvertently
threw a roll of bills, amounting to
so, in the fire, and recovered it only
after it had become a mass of cinders,
wrote to Treasurer Spinner, in great
alarm, and was informed that, upon
his affidavit of the facts, with sat-
isfactory certificate of character, the
money would be refunded. These
conditions were complied with. the
certificate being furnished by several
cashiers Of the city, and he received
from the Treasurer an order on the
Revenue Office for 500, which was
promptly paid. Together with this
were few legible fragments of SO
bill of the First National Bank of
Mobile, barely sufficient TO identify
the bill, pasted upon sheet Of paper
and the vacant places filled in, lack.
ing only very small fraction, with
illegible cinders, whose shape indi-
Gated where they belonged. This
was Endorsed by Col. Spinner, and
upon presentation at the bank was
paid.

The Round Table says: mot only
does Mr.. Darwin hold that man IL
merely a highly developed monkey,
but that the monkey in return has
been developed from some inferior
animal. Carrying this theory back
ward, he further believes that from
the lowest forms of animal life-the
sponge and jelly fsh-man has legi.
timately descended. Why he pauses
at the sponge does not readily appear.
AT this low stage of physical life, the
animal and vegetable kingdoms are
closely connected. Why should lie
not derive the semi-vegetable sea
weed? We may thus carry the Origin
OF man as far back as the lieheus and
moses. Mr. Darwin may thus des.
cribe himself as being that has de-
scended through the monkey, the
dog, the jelly fish. the sponge and
the lichens, from some extremely
low form Of vegetable life. Ones

Stendy in Front.


1t rs amusing 10 notice how many
Democratic papers have been devot-
ing their columns to obituary notices,
over the supposed collapse of the
Republican party, within a few
weeks past. TO read their Journals,
and even few wavering ones on our
side of the house, one would suppose
that the fate Of the Republican cause
was sealed, and that we might all be
profitably engaged in preparing for
the funeral. But we beg to remind
our enemies and the "doubtinc
Thomases" that there have been
darker days in the history of the Re-
publican party than now, and il
came out of the crueible victorious.
These journals on both sides, who
think 1t fit occasion to write cpl.
taphs over the death of the Republi.
can party, because the President and
Chas. Sumner do not agree on the
San Domingo annexation, are using
their time to little purpose. They
are two important personages just nj
this time, but DO not compose the
party. There are, it is true, divis.
ions and feuds in the party which
ought not to exist, and the effects O:
in 'G7 have been seen in the late elec
tions, but the principles on which
the party was brought into existence
are neither dead nor dying.
An exchange remarks that the
hardest thing to learn in political act
is the department of perspective-the
effect of distance, which seem great
ut the moment, but may prove to be
OF very trivial relative significance.
What matters il Grant is not made
the nominee Of the party in lS72?-
What matters to the great Republi,
cGn party if the friends of the Mas.
sachusetts Senator are indignant al
the insult forced upon him by the
President? Those who have watched
the ebb of political tide i'm the past
nave learned that our government
does not rest upon the fate of one in.
dividual, bnt is composed of the peo.
pie of the whole country. The sur.
face may be ruflled but the under.
current is steady in its course. Over.
Whelming victories have engendered
oyerweantng confidence, but the New
Hampshire defeat has been found eg.
sehtlal to arouse the people to effort.
LetseemiDg reverses come, We hail
them as omcns of good. II the Re.
publican party is not strong enough
to withstand this wholesome disci.
pline, let it die. We need them 10
compact the party; to rid it of cor
rupt and undue leaders; to root out
distracting theories. The Republi.
can party may have failings, but it
has never plotted treason. It's record
is not stained with the blood of our
fallen heroes, and it never insulted
or fired on the flag or our COUNTRY
We say therefore to the people, steady
in front. The Republican party is
neither dead nor dying. 1t will
place at the head of its ticket that
grand patrlot-SchuyIer Colfax-in
1872, and march forward to achieve
overwhelming victories.
