Every woman will tell you that a
man can be led easier by putting an
arm around his neck than by pull
ing his hair, but we never knew till
recently that the reason you can't
lead COW behind a wagon is be-
cause she objects to having her
horns pulled.
The other day a red-shirted emf
grant passed through here on his
way to Carroll county. His family
and household possessions were in
a covered wagon, to the hind end
of which was fastened COW. Be
hind her with sharp stick walked
the emigrant, giving her a smart
welt occasionally when she hung
back. Every now and then she would
brace herself and stop the team, and
then in unclerical language he would
beseech her to go on, marking each
forcible period with prod of the
sharp stick. The poor cow rolled
her eyes and lolled her tongue. The
poor emigrant, too, was dusty and
tired, but his voice and stick didn't
fail him. She had suddenly halted
the procession in front of the post
office, and was shaking her head in
reply to his earnest entreaties, when
a man called out to Red Shirt that
he did not understand COWS worth
a cent"
"Well, what are you going to do
about it?" asked Red Shirt.
"Why, just take that rope off her
horns, and put it round her neck,
and she'll lead as quiet as lamb.
If she don't I'll follow her mile
myself"
The rope was changed to her neck
and the team started. She gave a
look of surprise and walked along,
"Wcll that beats ALL" said Red
Shirt, and without word of thanks
he mounted his wagon. The pro-
cession moved slowly on toward
Carroll county, and the COW follow
ed with countenance as placid as if
she were walking home at milking
time,

Abiding to the absurdity of the
sweeping exclusion of all free mat
ter from the mails, contained in the
law abo!ishing the ranking privil-
eye, illustrated by ,the statement
that the Treasury department pro-
poses to do large share Of its
transportation by express, that mode
being cheaper than the lowest mail
rates, the Belle PLANE Union forci-
bly, says:
Here is the Government of the
United States, with vast postal
system intended for the conven-
fence of the people, and for the ac-
commodation of the government
departments in the transaction of
the large and increasing business
Of the government, which after the
first of July next will be unable to
send any letter or package without
stamp affixed. These stamps are,
of course, to be furnished at the
expense of government, and now it
finds that it can hire the transporta-
ton cheaper by express than to pay
its own postage! 1t must, of course
pay for the transportation of the
mails all the same. The contracts
are let and there will be no reduc-
ton of contract prices. Yet, while
the p. 0. Department is doing the
business of a common carrier, and
doing it on larger scale than any
corporation or private individual
can, it seriously contemplatcs send
ing its blanks by express, to keep
up the absurdity of carrying no free
matter. No railroad or other trans
portation company would indulge
in such child's play. The govern
ment should carry its own matter
free, and get its revenue from indl-
viduals who use its facilities. To
attempt TO get a revenue out of it.
self by charging for transportation
of government matter is of a piece
with the feat of the boy who attemp-
ted to lift himself by the straps of
his boots. Yet the late legislation
on postal matters apparently leaves
the Department no alternative but
this.

THERE are Democratic papers, it
seems, that do not take stock in the
proposition to place a Democrat up
on the Supreme bench, and that re-
alize that there are considerations
above those of partisanship. The
Washington Gagette is one of these
1t says:
1t is generally understood that
Judge Beck is with the people on
the railroad question, and if such is
the case, we are in favor of keeping
him there. We cannot afford to
take the chances of new man, even
though he be Democrat, when we
are already certain of a friend al
court. Judge Beck has the reputa
ton of being an honest man, and in
these days of corruption, when hon
esty among Office holders is an ex.
ception rather than a rule, it is a
matter of no little consequence tc
hold on to an honest man when we
get one. 1t is important to the farm
ers, it may not be to the politicians
to keep Judge Beck on the bench.

"A sickening tale Of wholesale
murder and robbery comes up from
Southern Kansas. The particulars
in brief are as follows: DR.. w. II.
York, a brother of the State Senator
York, of Pomeroy bribery fame,
started on the 9th of March from
Fort Scott, on horseback, for his
home in Independence, Kan. He
never reached home, and a long and
thorough search instituted by his
brother resulted, few days ago, in
finding his body buried near tav-
ern in the vicinity of Cherryvale,
Labette county, occupied until re-
Gently by two brothers named Ben
der with their wives. Marks upon
the body of DR.. York showed that
he had been foully murdered, and
an investigation of the premises
resulted in the finding Of the bodies
of seven other persons who had
been murdered by the Benders and
buried in shallow graves around
the premises. The murders seem
to have been committed in the most
systematic manner. All the bodies
found had the skulls broken as if
with shoemakers hammer, and
their threats cut. Previous to this
horrible discovery the fiendish MUIR
derers had become alarmed at signs
of approaching revelation of their
horrid work, and had decamped,
leaving the house and furniture I'M
disturbed. The whole region in
the vicinity of the horrid butchery
is terribly excited, Large rewards
have been offered by the State and
county for the arrest of the guilty
parties, but as yet without result.
Immediately after the revelation of
the crime, the detective who traced
DR.. York to the Benders' residence,
set about search for the murder
ers. He found that they were part
of a confederate gang Of thieves and
murderers, and before lie left swore
out warrants for twenty-five parties,
many of them professed farmers
holding claims in the vicinity, and
supposed to belong to the gang.
He succcedt / in tracing the Ben
ders until they left the State, and
having received authority from the
Governor to hunt the criminals
down regardless Of expense, pro-
ceeded to ST. Louis to secure the
cooperation of the police Of that
city. The BYnders left with S1O,-
900, and the detective thinks they
are making FIR the seaboard intend
ing to cross the ocean.

The Lieutenant Governorship.

The Lansing Mirror andEnroni-
Gle, two weeks ago in well written
and candid article, presented the
name and urged the claims of Dud-
ley w. Adams, of Alamakee coun-
ty, for the Republican nomination
for Lieutenant Governor. We no.
tice that the suggestion Of Mr.. Adj
ans candidacy has been received
with favor by quite considerable
number of the influential Republi-
can papers of the State, and from
our own limited knowledge of his
executive capacity, and his standing
as Republican, we should judge
that the preferences of his friends
are we'll founded. Mr.. Adams is
represented as Republican of the
incorporating kind, man of lib
eral education, good Judgment and
energy. He is well known as the
greatest fruit culturist in Northern
Iowa, and has become well known
of the people of the State as the eff
cient Secretary of the State Horti-
cultural Society. He has wider
fame, however, as Grand Master of
the National Grange Of the Patrons
of Husbandry, in which capacity he
presided over the large convention
of the order in Des Moines last
winter.
Among the names heretofore sug-
gested in this connection we have
regarded Mr.. Dysart, of Tama coun-
ty, as possessing as many of the
qualifications necessary for the po-
sition as any other candidate, being
a man of undoubted integrity, legis-
lativc ability and experience, and
withal thoroughly identified in sym
pathy and interest with the great
reforms demanded by the people,
But we have no feeling OF partisan
ship in the matter. On the ques-
tions of Legislative control of rail,
roads and reform of existing abuses
both the gentlemen named are rep
resentatives of the most advanced
phase of public sentiment, and al
though Mr.. Adams has not had leg
islative experience, we are assured
that he has the ability to perform
the duties of Lieutenant Governor
with credit and usefulness. We
think the Republican convention
would make no mistake in placing
either gentleman in the second place
on the State ticket. By the nomi-
nation of either the Republican par
ty of Iowa would signalize its ac-
cord with the popular demand for
reform and yet not depart from its
practice of placing power in the
hands Of those only who truly rep
resent its principles.

A remarkable case in dentistry is
mentioned by the New Brunswick
On. j. Times, of citizen of that
town, who, after the extraction of a
tooth with which he had been long
tormented, but in which the only
part apparently unsound was so mi
mute as not to admit the insertion
Of a delicate needle, discovered on
cracking it with hammer that it
was a mere shell in which lived n
nondescript six-legged bug, which
ran briskly about the table on being
released from its prison. AS the
gentleman is confident that the ami
NAL could not have made it's way
through the perforation flom with
out, he considers this clear case
of spontaneous generation.

REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.
Independence of the Judiciary.

We notice that In the dlScusSlolls
of candidates for the nomination for
Supreme Judge, considerable prom
inence is given to the assumed at
titude of Judge Beck toward the
railroads. He is annouced in some
quarters as on the side of the people
as against the railroads, and some
ardent partisans see in the sugges-
ton of other names the efforts OF
the monopolists to place candi-
date in their interest before the peo-
pie, 1t is we'll to guard against this
or any other stratagem that the
railroad interest may employ for
purposes of it's own, but it seems to
(us scarcely necessary or proper to
commit our candidate for the SUI
preme bench to any special action
in the line of his duty. The people
are entirely safe when they know
that the candidate is man ofpopu
lar instincts, clean hands and I'M
purchasable integrity. If when it
is announced that Judge Beck is
fright upon the railroad question"
1t is meant that he has no undue
leaning toward corporations, and is
firm in holding that the people in
their representative capacity have
the right to regulate and control
railroads, few will dissent, and we
believe that his true position is COR
rec,ly stated; but ifby such phrase
t is meantto be affirmed or inferred
that he stands pledged to sustain
any and all legislation in that d.
rection, such assumption Is not only
unjust to him, but subversive Of
every principle of equity or Judicial
honor. Yet there are we'll meaning
men who take just this view flu
llcial duty. In times of strong
popular feeling, like the present,
many persons are apt to think that
udges as well as Legislators should
blay the part of political barome-
ers, recording every variation OF
popular feeling, and, regardless Of
aw and precedent make use Of
heir position for the carrying out
f policies and party Platforms
Whereas the independence of courts
nd their absolute immunity from
II outside influences constitute the
nly guaranty OF their purity and
mciency. The judge who fails to
Interpret the law without fear or ia
