The Bogus Repeal Bill.

We could ill several columns with ex-
tracts from our exchanges, Republican,
Democratic and Neutral, secular and re-
ligious, Indignantly condemning the new
Salary Bill which passed the House last
week. The storm is greater than that
raised by the passage Of the Salary BIZ
last March. The following, from the New
York World, Is q sample: .7utei+r.
The fraudulent and disgraceiul bill
which passed the House on Wednesday
evening stamps an indelible mark oi hy-
nocrisy on the professions which members
have been Haunting before the country
since the beginning OF the session. It would
be a strong presumption against the hon
esty OF the bill that the course OF the dis
oussion unmasked Butler as lis author,
that It's advocacy was surrendered into
his hands at the final pinch when twas
nut on Its passage, and that 10 the ap:.
ulauded speech BY which II was carried
he outdid even himself in unrestrained
license of abusive ribaldry. Men-do not
gather grapes OF thorns, nor figs oi this
lies. nor an honest repeal Of the salary
grab from the most unaoashed and lmpu1
dent Of all It's champions. A triumph Of
Butler on this subject is q triumph Of
fraud, craft, and brazen eftrontery, as Will
sufficiently appear when VIC proceed 10
analize the bill. =
By the bill which has been passed the
salary Of members Ia reduced rom y, 900

Republican Platform.

The Republicans of Iowa.. in Mass
convention assembled, make this dec
laration of principles: We hold the
republican party to be political Or
ganiZation of those American citizens
who are opposed to slavery in all its
forms; who believe that all men are
entitled to the same political and civil
rights; who believe that all laws,
State and National, should be made
and administered SO as to secure to all
citizens wherever born, or whatever
their color, creed, condition, or Occu-
patton, the same rights before the law;
who believe in free schools, free opin-
Ion, and universal education; who
believe that American society and
The American people should all be
raised to the highest possible plane Of
liberty, honesty, purity, intelligence
and morality, and that all laws should
be made, and the government con-
stantly administered with this aim In
view, and that no party has a right TO
The support OF the people which is not
inspired with this purpose. Believing
that the Republican party Is still con-
tFolled by these principles, and that it
IL now as it has been from it's begin

Educational.

The work Of imparting instruction

practice of any other profession. long
and eevere course Of training must be
had. There is no exception to this rule.

A QUESTION Of some little impor-
lance is likely to come before the su-
pre,ne court of the United States. Mrs.
Myra Bradwe)l, who edits law mag
azine in Chicago, having applied for
admission to the bar Of that city, and
having met with rejection, has appealed
to tho highest court 10 the country to
say whether or not she has been right
ly treated. Her argument is that her
application was refused, not becau.e
she was ignorant Of the law or def
cient in any necdfal qualification, but
simply on account Of her sex, and this.
she contends, is no sufficient ground
for her rejection. Unfortunately for
her, the constitutional amendment on
which she relies does not inhibit dis
tinctions on account Of sex, only on
account Of "race, color, and, previous
condition Of servitude." She may,
however, insist that all the women Of
the country were under sort Of PROF.
dial servitude before the amendments
were passed; like slaves attached to
particular lands, and hence come under
the exceptional provision. Should the
Supreme Court SO decide, tho woman
question is settled.

Take Care Of the Calves.

Much of the future growth, and in
fact much Of the profits of the farmer
arising from his stock, depends upon
the care which it receives during the
first year. l do not wish to be under
stood by this that if farmer takes
good care of his stock the first year, he
can afterward let them run hap-bazard +;
every good farmer will see that his stock
is at all times we'll cared for. But the
first year is the foundation it is the
starting point Of their future growth
There are many farmers who are in the
habit of giving their calves nothing
but whey from the time that they are
about three weeks cd until they are
we,ned. They are then left to run and
pick their living as best they may unit
winter, when they are taken to the barn
and put into some little back hovel
with nothing but hay till spring, or, a!
| have often seen, turned into stack
In either case, they arc, when spriuf
comes, so stunted and poor that the.
make put slow growth ever atterward
Consequently, when selling time comes
the farmer finds his stock far behind il
size and price, Of his "e:yhb"rs VIII

Of this came within my knowledge -

TIE St. Louis Republican is aston
ished and grieved by the large repre-
sentation Of Germans in the late Re-
publican city convention, and ascribes
it to blunders on the part Of the so.
called Democratic leaders, and the las.
situde and indifference Of so-callcd
Liberal leaders. The fact is, the large
Germon population Of St. Louis have
found out at their cost that the Demo.
critic party is unable or unwilling to
administer just and equal govern.
mcnt, municipal, state, or national ;
and there should, therefore, be no as
constituent that large delegations Of
Germans are found in Republican as
scmblies. The latter is the only party
which welcomes all nationalities, colors,
and classes, and is both able aud will.
ing to maintain their rights.
