"No car ds"
The Ottumwa Courier of recent
date, in speaking of Foster The car
hook murderer, makes the following
very pertinent remarks; Gov Dix can
not be moved to show. mercy when
he sees no grounds tor showing it
Wealth and responsibility cannot
avail with him. "Of'ense's gilded
hand fails to show by justice with
the old Roman like Governor. The
necessity OF taxing life as a punish
ment Tor crime is terrible to contem-
plate. but the wholesale shedding of
innocent blood, nowadays, by young
bloods like Foster, in large degree
because they believe they can escape
the gallsws, or if sent TO the peniten
tary, in few months or years at
best, be pardoned out, demands a
sacrifice to stay the growing influx OF
murders"
There were hanged last Friday
three persons, one in New York city

attracted much attention and as

correspond with the other oranges
in the county, and have a meeting OF

slider the matter. An elevator at

The Centennial Exposition.

From the time the first steps were
taken toward securing grand in
ternational exposition at Philadel-
phia IN 1876, the work has gone
along cncouragingly, until its success

vania will take tour millions, while
the amount subscribed troni other
parts OF the union viii easily reach,
if not transcend, the remaining six
millions. This will be the case il
American citizens take the interest
in it they should, as it is cot only a
national but an international exposi-
ton; and that America may make a
fair showing OF her achievements
during the first century Of her indie
pendencc, 1t behooves American
citizens TO make an extra exer.
ton for the next three years, TO
make ample preparations tor an ex-
hibltion OF American products, that
will compare with other countries,
that reckon their existence by cen
turles. Every citizen of this coun-
try, who prides his citizenship should
feel an interest in the success OF the

grandcst Of it's kind.
From present appearances the Ex-
position and tho accompanying cele-
bralion will be grand and impressive,
and will furnish us an excellent op-
por,nnity OF showing to the Orient
the greatness and power OF the
Western world which is but IN its
infancy. The Davenport Gasette in

truthfully observes 9" In contrast
