HON. M, M, WALDEN,

The Gate city of Sunday last has
this to say of Hon. M. M. WALDEN
who took his seat in the House last
Saturday, as Representative from the
4th Iowa District:
In the 4th District Madison NJ. Walden
goes in. Personally we have such liking
and esteem for Mr.. Walden that it may be
hard tor us to speak of him impartially.
In the old youthful days, not very long
gone either, for both of us, he and we,
worked at the same problems, played the
same games, weaved from the fanciful
future the web OF our several ambitions in
mutual confidence And we have always
found him so warm and true, and loyal in
his friendship, 50 steadfast to his word
and bis friends, that it has been to US as
the sum of all the virtues, and we have
never thought if he had dement's. Those
who can dissect their friends can do that
We cannot But we know him, and we
know that he is good and true man. A
man of fine convictions and the integrity
that adheres to them. Ambitious but
above meannesS in achievingIhiS ambitions
i broad liberal man. OF university edu-
cation and large attachments, but every
whit practical An Iowa boy who has
made his own record and done his own
work He is one of those men who set at
naught all first estimates. He is always
equal to and superior to any place he gets
however high it may be. He is a graceful
impressive speaker. His resources always
develop in proportion to the demand for
them. He is young, but we see him enter
upon his place with pride and without
misgiVings We know that the Fourth
District cannot so trust and esteem him
now that it will not trust and esteem him
better when he is tried in his office He
will Justify the choice of his District and
be a Representative that will honor it, as it
honors him"
And of Mr.. LoUGHR1DGE the re-
firing member, the same paper says !:
civilian Loughrldge is the out. He is
we'll known throughout the State. Has
been one ofits recognized strong men for
years. He is strong lawyer, was an able
Judge, and done well and made his mark in
doing whatever work he has been called to
do. He is a forcible speaker; is clear
headed thinker Has taken high place
in Congress during his two terms there"

The Washington correspondent OF

The Washington correspondent OF
the Pells Blade says: Governor
Walden has rented a suit of rooms,
on 18th street, near the avenue. He
is busily engaged preparing himself
for the labors of the 42d Congress
am seriously inclined 70 the opiu-
ion, that Gov. Walden will make an
able representative, just such one
as needed in the Halls of Congress to
represent the wants of the working
people of Iowa. With such men as
McCrary, Palmer and Walden, the
inter ests of Iowa are in safe hands"

w ASHINGTON, Mafcn D.
The Joint High Commission will
commence its labers this week. All
the members on the part of Great
Britain, and all the American men,
bers, except Attorney General Hoar,
are now in Washington. 1t seems
likely under the loose wording of the
arrangement, that the Canadi-
an claims for damages caused by the
Fenian raids, will come before the
commission. Earl Kimberly's letter
to the Governor General of Canada,
in which he urges that the claims
arising out of the Fenian invasion
will be subject ofcomment among the
members Of the Cabinet. Secretary
Fish takes a different view on the
subject.
