LOVE, Courtship and Marriage, as
treated by DR.. Brennan, in his lecture
last evening was the most humorous and
pleasing entertainment probably ever
had in the Carson theater. The people
laughed until they almost cried, especl-
ally, when he got four g elegant speci-
mems on the stage, after the lecture. to
Wit: three Asse,nblymen including SIS
;ions Of Washoe, and railroad man.
and paired them with four beautiful
ladies' whom the DR.. spent half al hour
IN persuading to leave their seats. But
it was all fun and for the sake of accom-
modating restless audience they came
and sat opposite those whom the physlolo-
gist picked out as proper types tor them
Miss Duffy was chosen for AasemDyman
sessions and oh what nice pair he SAIL
hey would make. Assemblyinan Stearn
was very much tickled 10 have Miss Dora
Waters plated opposite him. When the
Dr. asked ii they did not make htni-
some couple he felt it SO much that h.
winked for audience. When tie railroad
man was asked to stand facin4 his lady
ne couldn't stand it, but marched toward
his choice while (the audience convulsad
with laughter) the DR.. interposed and
reseated him. 1t was a very merry tinle
and those who took tae rostrum deserve
the praise of the community for the ac-
commodating spirit they displayed.
Those elegant male specimens seemed
delighted with their ris-a-cis, especially
the elderly Assemblyman Sessions. BY
unanimous vote of the ladies yesterday
the doctor delivers them another lecture
this afternoon. Tonight the DR.. will
deliver lecture on "Manhood' '-for
gentlemen only.

ADDREss;-In accordance with prom
Use we take pleasure, now, in giving the
address of VIM: H. Pearson, President
of St. Andrews Society, as follows !;
Gentlemen To-morrow's sun will
again shine on the natal day of Scot

whose bounliess love of the. good, the

lowly daisy, the twitterinS field mouse
and the humble sparrow; whose hatred
of shams plucked gew-saws from the
breasts of insipid aristocracy, threw them
to the dogs, and established III the
hearts of men the aristocracy OF gentle
worth. Oh! brothers, if We remember
his faults. let us remember too his many
virtues. Let us remember too the pinch
ING poverty that stepped in his footprints
from childhood onward; cast its gaunt
AMI hungry shadow over him and pushed
him into death. IF we remember his
love of the Barley Bree, let Us remember
too the temptations Of the gentle child
of genius and of SONG, whose life like a
gallant bark went down with mast and
spars and ropes, storm-tossed ON the
hungry waves OF remorseless tate.
But. gentlemen, we did not come here to
mourn his woes. With Scots his name
is the very embodiment of jollity and

Ti.Iers of the soil have come to the
fertile prairies Of the West in such
ceaseless flow for the last few years,
that industrial pursuits have lost
their balance. More consumers are
needed to make q reasonable demand
for farm produce. These should
come to US In the line Of manufactu-
ring labor. Raw material, motive
power and living, are cheap and In
abundance. The demand for almost
all kinds Of manufactured produce,
is far in excess Of the supply. This
State can compete, with a large per
cent In its favor, with eastern manu-
factories. Many central points are
fully aroused to the magnitude Of the
demand, the assurance Of large prof
It's, and the necessity OF prompt ac-
ton. The citizens are awaiting with
enterprise, hearty good will and
wha. capital they can command, to
cooperate with skilled labor from
abroad. If eastern manufacturers
would act wisely they will seek this
much favored and very inviting
field during this golden opportunity,
when so cordial welcome awaits
them. The present year bids fair to
be one of special interest and profit
to those embarking in this depart
ment of productive industry. Hun
dreds Of new enterprises are much
needed In this State. Who will an
swer the call ?-IO,0n Progress.

ANTI. MONOPOLY COUNTY Con-
vENTIoN. The mass meeting OF an
ti-monopolists In Des Moines, on
Saturday last, passed a set Of resolu-
tions which will, no doubt, be gener-
ally approved of, excepting that CAL
ling u State Convention. In our
opinion the subject OF that resolution
is premature. II the masses Of our
voters can manage to control the
elections in their several counties, 1t
will be as much as they can possibly
hope for--and we have no idea that
State Convention Is expected or de.
sired during the present canvass. a
Convention for consultation may be
productive Of good and would proba-
bly, be we'll attended; but If called, as
proposed, to nominate candidates on
a State ticket, we think 1t will not be
attended by such representation as
would give the nominations any
strength. In a new movement,
departure from old party organiza,
tions, success should be we'll assured
before the onus of conducting a field
Of operations SO extensive is assum-
ed. We therefore reiterate that we
think the call was not sufficiently
well considered.--l70meste0d.

,ass . law Specifying that no farmer
shouid ever be allowed TO charge
more than $50 for hose, or ~ S0r
a COW, or four cents Q pound for hogs,
or forty cents bushel for corn, these
being fair remunerative rates under
ordinary circumstances? And while
we are about il, let Us fix by law the
price that shall be charged for q new

at which coffee and tea and frewood

to be seriously contemplated. And
vet IL we have the legal and moral

We Of the West have, by our fool
ish system Of one Idea farming, rum
ming all to one crop, or one branch OF
industry for series OF years, over
stock ed the corn market. The ware
houses are filed with it--cribs and
bins are grooming with the supera-
bundance Of this cereal, and prices
went down TO nearly nothing. Times
grew hard, and money became scarce.
Some one raised the cry OF "mad
dogn against railroads. They were
the cause Of all our misfOrtunes. We
must regulate them or determination
must be the result; and the cry grew
louder, and the mob more insane, as
is always the case. Down with
railroad men !" "political damnation
to all who will not curse railroads."
became the watchword. But the
tide is turning. The sober second
thought is beginning to make itself
felt, and the people are learning that
the evil lies rneasurably at their own
doors, and the remedy i'm their own
hands. We want more diversified
industry, and less one.idea-ism. We
must raise a greater variety OF crops,
and convert our grain into less bulky
and more valuable substances before
shipping. We must encourage a
greater number Of consumers in our
midst, promote domestic manufac-
lures, and encourage the introduction
of capital and skilled labor. We
want more railroads, more dealers,
more competition in oil branches OF
business. We want more money and
more people in the West. We want
more intelligence and more common
sense in our agricultural pursuits,
and fewer designing, intriguing, inn
pecunious, sour, sore-headed office
seekers. Let us consider these things
calmly and dispassionately, in the
light of reason and common sense,
and with an eye single tothe general
good of the whole people, and each
will find that he who regulates"
his own affairs best will prosper most.

Political demagogues are ut work
to win the favor and confidence OF
the irate farmers of the country, who
have been aroused into united action
to throw off the burdens which press
so heavily upon them. These dem
agogues, snuiling the air for scent
Of the political future, catch the trail
of what seems apparent will become
q powerful and compact organization
which is toexert great influence upon
the fate of parties locally, If not M
tionally. They will soon become the
most blatant Of reformers; and their
manipulatory skill will be employed
to get control Of this newly organized
force for their own selfish purposes.
We trust to the past bitter experien-
ces of farmers who have thus been
wheedled, to insure vigilant watch
on their part that these foxes do not
get hold OF the fresh brood OF chick
ems. They are cute and cunning
enough to do 50, aud to escape all
traps without 50 much IA leaving a
"brush" in them. Wolves In
sleeps clothing and foxes with
watch dog collars about their necks
may be looked out for about these
days. -Rwm Ne,c Yorker.

South English Grange, Keokuk
County, in fit Of insanity not long
since, adopted the following resolu-
tiCn:
RESOLVED, That we will wage war
against railroads, even to extermina-
ton, If need be-"
"a Farmer" speaking through
the Sigourney Ne,cs, answers rs
follows:
And what, pray, have the railroads
done, that they should he extermi-
mated? Has not the country been
benefited by the building OF each
and every mile OF road In the State !.
Is there q single mile Of road that tho
people along Its line would be will
Ing to see annihilated Would the
people Of keokuk and Washington
counties be the gamers II the Rock
Island road were blotted out OF exis.
tence? Is any one Obliged to pay Its
so-called exorbitant rates? Are not
the public highways open as In years
gone by, when all Of our surplus
produce was hauled or driven to the
Mississippi river? The roads are
there, the streams arc bridged, the
farmers all have teams, and the Mis-
sissipi rolls AZ majestically In its old
bed as it did before the advent of
railroads into our State. What,
then, Ii there to compel any one to
patrOnize railroad, unless he choo-
ses to do SO: We patronize them
solely because, with all their so called
extortions, they are cheaper than
any other carrier that we can avail
ourselves of. Then IL this il the case,
they are unquestionably a public
benefit, and should be fostered in.
stead of exterminated. True, il
would be better for the people Of the
West II the railroads would carry
half their present rates. So II
would be better il we )c0uld buy
our ploWs and other implements at
half the present rates. But can they
be afforded any cheaper than at pre-
sent? Does not the farmer sell his
hogs, his cattle, his horses and his
grain for all he can get for them ?
Do they not often bring prices that
are very much above q fair remune-
rative rate? Would it not be well to
petition the General Assembly to

In all the mongrei tickets hereto
fore made and in aIl the combinations
heretofore effected to defeat Radical
ism, the object Of the manipulator'
sas always been to keep the word
Democrat out Of sight as much AZ
possible. This has been the case
everywhere and the policy has been
pursued until II has become just a
little sickering. A kind OF premium
mas been placed on the renegade Re
publicans. They have been urged
FOR Office sometimes on the sole rec
ommendation that they have hereto
FIRE seen Republicans, and having
seen the error Of their ways are sps-
risliy entitled to favor in new parties
and new coalitions.

The contrary, il any preference be
made. il should be extended 10 Dan

Let us hear no more then OF that
silly talk about keeping Democrats

right while you have been wander
ing after false gods.
We have been unfolding the Con-
stitution while you were allied to

We have been true while you have
been false to the principles OF true

We have always been Democrats,
whilst you are just beginning to per.
cSye the truth! Therefore we do
not propose to take back seats any
longer. We have either been right
all the time or we have been wrong
all the time. If we have always
been right, you converted Republic

with the Republican party, and II
discrimination be shown, you should
suffer little probation before you

should pursue. If we were wrong,
you should hasten back to your party,

We desire to be understood, this Is

NJ BY the highest judicial tribunal In
the State OF New York. Bets az TO
the decision are in favor Of Stokes,
and It is but fair to suppose that af-
ter all this delay he will be cleared
through some technicality OF law.
There IL no doubt that Stokes did
commit the murder Of which he is
accused. Being a criminal he should
suffer the penalty of a disobeyed law
Wealth and the influence OF friends
should have nothing to do with the
administration OF justice. If Stokes
is cleared we will be forced to the
conclusion that justice in New York
Is farce, and the penalty OF the law
can be enforced only upon men who
are without wealth and without
friends. Was Putnam more guilty
than Stokes? Are not the facts con-
corning tho murder by Stokes as con-
elusive as were those in the murder
committed by Putnam? While we
urge the necessity Of dealing Justly
we do not mean that life should be
taken for a life. This would not bet
ter the matter, but it is nomore than
right that Stokes should be inpris.
oned for life. He who wilfully Stays
his fellow man should be deprived OF
his liberty to prevent repetition Of
the crime.
