Owing to the recent massacre OF
Pawnees by the Sioux, matters are
not in very satisfactory condition
between these tribes. The Pawnees
are in great grief, the warriors paint
ed black. One of the chiefs said
that the Sioux had burned Pawnee
babies on fires made of buffalo car
casses that the Pawnees would
mourn till the full moon, and that
they will then 60 to fight the Sioux,
and nobody, not even the Govern.
ment, shall prevent them. They are
gathering their friends, and say that
they can muster from 1000 to 1000
men. In the meantime the settlers
pray that they may get to work OF
one another, on Kilkenny cat style
until both are exterminated.

The Register of the 18th says a
gentleman from Northern Iowa, who
was in Des Moines yesterday, In
forms us that the wheat crop in that
part of the State is the finest since
1861, and that the yield is
above an average. 1t stands up well
and ripens slowly, SO that in the pre-
sent dry weather the harvest pro.
crosses under the most favorable
auspices. Oats will only be an aver
age crop. Corn and potatoes are
suffering somewhat, but rain within
a week and reasonable late season
will do much toward making q good
yield of these.

THAT CONVENTION.

The Democratic Anti-monopoly
Convention met at Des Moines, We'd
nesday, 18th inst, and nominated a
ticket to be swallowed up in Octo-
Der. The Democratic element pre-
vailed, if there was such a thing as
prevailing in convention that only
had about IS delegates. Mahaska
was represented by WEIGH, Harbour,
and Ballinger, all Democrats. They
nominated ticket, three of whom
are lawyers, Notwithstanding their
abuse of that profession. The tick
ct nominal ed is J. G. Vale of Van
Buren, for Governor; Fred O'Don.
nell of Dubuque for 1t. Governor B.
J. Hall, of Burlington, for Supreme
Judge and Prindle from the Lord
only knows where, for Supt. of Pub,
lie Instruct on. Their resolutions
are quite lengthy and contain no new
issues. One of them hits the Mahas.
ka county ticket slap in the face. II
reads as follows.
THAT we will not, knowingly, nominate any
| bad man to Office nor give place to any presis
tant seekers therefor, but will freely seek FOL
ourselves competent officers, as heretofore politi
cal leaders have sought Office for themselves. and
| that we will nominate only those known to be
| faithfully in sympathy with these declarations
| and will at the polls repudiate any candidate
known to be unfit or incompetent"
Ofcourse they did not have any
played out political hacks to run the
machine. All laboring men and
farmers, for instance +; that heavy
farmer Bill Stone /; that undaunted
laborer (for office) J. B. Grinnell ;
and as men who never dabble in
politics, we have Pore WEIGH, Old
Claggett of the Keokuk Constitution
whose office was thrown in the river
by the soldiers during the war, on
account of its rebel proclivities,
John Irish, his cub T. o. Walker,
r. r. Harbour, Thos. Ballinger,
Geo. Slavery, Fred O'Donnell, b. j.
Hall, and many more Democratic
editors, broken down Republicans,
"tom tit lawyers" and "one horse
preachers. Porte WEIGH was on
his feet all the time if we may judge
from the newspaper reports.
AS a farmers convention it was q
failure; as a politicians convention il
was a success, but the ticket it nom.
mated will be buried under the
usual $4,000 m ajority.
