WHEN the amiable and courtly
f. C. David went down in the Har-
Ian ship, on the 10th of January
we had full faith, that however long
he might be missing, he would
eventually come to the surface
somewhere. The surmisc was cor
rect. The Hamilton Freeman, OF
last week, acknowledges a call from
our suaye friend, and after the in
terview is constrained to say OF
him: "Mr. D. is very shrcwd, dip
lomatic gentleman, and has the
reputation of being one Of the best
political manipulators west of AL
bany, New York" Doubtless Bro
Hunter was confirmed in this esti'
mate ofDavid powers by hearing
him tell how faithfully and success
fully he worked for Allison at Des
Moines.

where so fearful spasm of econo-
my has been working as is noticca-
in the Lower House, measures of
even 80 commendable a nature are
in imminent danger of sudden
strangling. Mr.. Hovey had hard
row to hoe, but ever since the com
mcncement of the session he has
paid constant attention to it, making
friends daily, so that when it came
from the Senate his few brief, vet
convincing words, were only neccs-
sary to secure a passage with but
four dissenting votes. 1t may be
added that the management Of the
funds heretofore appropriated, hav-
ing been so satisfactory that even
the most distrustful member was
satisfied that all was as it should be,
gave the appeal power that was a
great point toward success. So
Senator Bemis' and Mr.. Hovey's To-
cal constituency can give honor and
commentator, for to them belongs
that reward due and deserved by
wise, practical and active legis-
lators.
The correspondent Of the Herald
at the capital, also adds the weight
of his endorsement to the above:
The appropriation bill for the In
sane Asylum, at Independence, has
passed both Houses, and with so
slight opposition when the vote was
taken that it may seem to those not
acquainted with the "ways that are
dark and tricks that are vain"
which bcsct Legislation that the job
was an easy one. l happen to
know, however, that some fine en-
gineering was done by Senator Be
mis- and Representative Hovey be-
fore they secured the happy result
But then they did not have the
odium attaching to the commission
management Of their pet institution
which hangs about the new caplto
commission, or even their ti,aess'
would have failed. The manage
ment of the past appropriation fol
the Independence Asylum is with
out spot or blemish, and Buchanan
county has two able Representatives
to bring the fact forcibly to thu
attention Of this General Assem-
bly,.

ILLIrERACY IN Iowa. - Senator
Beardsley, of Des Moines, in the
course Of an able speech on the 18th
inst, in favor of his bill for COM
pulsory education (Which passed by
large majority stated that there
are, according to reliable statistics,
10000 persons in this State over ten
years of age, who are unable to
read or write. OF this number 49,
900 are voters, and 10000 are be-
tween the ages of 10 and 81 years.
He stated, further, that 10000 per-
sons Of school age were not in our
public 5, hools at all during the past
year; and that the average number
in attendance was less than onc-half
scarcely more than two tifths-of
the entire enumeration. He thinks
that, after making every reasonable
allowance for those not in school on
account of their extreme youth, and
those in private schools, and those
between sixteen and twenty-one,
VINO may be supposed to nave hnlsh-
ed course in the common schools,
there must still be large number
who ought to be in attendance, but
who are growing up in total neglect
of the means of education. And if
we further take into account those
who are attending school so irregu-
larly as to be of little benefit to
themselves and a great disadvan-
tagc to others, we must come to the
inevitable conclusion that our pub
lie schools are failing, signally fail
ing, to accomplish what might be
reasonably expected from them.
Hence he found his argument in
favor of compulsory education, so
that the sum of nearly 81 900, 900 we
have invested in public school build
ings and the further sum of s3,OO0,-
900 spent annually for current ex-
penses may bear more satisfactory
fruit.-Muscatine Journal.

FRIDAY, MARCH 90. 1879.

THE Conservative does not think
that the New Hampshire election
was much of a shower after all, or
as it expresses it, "not to be regard
ed as a very great victory for the
Republicans or a very great defeat
for the Democrats" 1t is a very
comfortable thing to be able to face
defeat with sublime confidence, but
it is rather significant that this
hopefulness is not INDUCED in to
any great extent by the Democratic
party and press over the result OF
the election in New Hampshire. 1t
is not too much to say that the
"passivc policy" is much stronger
since that event than before; that
the Democracy have become much
better reconci.cd to the acceptance
of the platform and candidates OF
the Cincinnati convention, and that
the party generally arc better able
to realize what has been apparent
to disintcrested observers for some
time, that its real need is an UNDER
taker, and the greatest service 1t
could render the country, the taking
itself out of the way.
1t becomes the Conservative to be
circumspect, for its party is in
transition state, and it may yet be
compelled to look upon the New
Hampshire election as the first
droppings Of a sore dispensation.
The Muscatinc Journal is par
ticularly severe on the railroad tax
bill which passed the House two
weeks since. 1t says that it is
palpablc violation Of the pledge
made by both parties in their plat
forms; a greater fraud on the peo-
pie than the present law; that the
little band of eighteen who voted
against it should have their names
written in gold, and INDUCES in
other plain and pointed expressions.
There are some features OF the bill
which are certainly wrong, If not
unconstitutional, especially its re-
tro-active operation to release all
taxes heretofore assessed by local
authorities under the old law and
prohibiting their collection. Rail
roads, like individuals, should be
amenable to the operation OF laws
until they are repealed, and the leg
islation which relieves them Of this
responsibility, though it may not
be termed corrupt: is certainly not
judicious or just.
