LrBERALITr TOO LATE The Boone
Democrat, referring to the St. Paul and
Iowa Southwestern Acknowledgements
tiOns for work upon which are in active
progress alludcs to the attitude of
Dos Moiues toward the project:
The people there arc very anxious to
have plug, and we think they will
succeed IN getting one. But for their in
difference when the project was first
talked up, the main line would have gone
to Dcs Moines. But Dcs Moines would
not help then. Abel, an Insignificant
place compared with Des Moines, gave
the project tho help that Dcs Moines re.
fused, and secured the road. And now
Des Moines is willing to pay $75, 900 sub,
sidy to secure plug Well. we hope
they will secure it. We should like to
have direct railroad communication with
Des Moines, but az we will secure north
and south road, Des Moines is Il second
airy consideration"
The above, which the Des Moines Re.
publican indorses rs mot palatable but
true" adds another to the numerous in
stances where towns have rejected advan
tagcous railroad facilities and afterward
repented when too late. The people Of
Des Moines probably deceived themselves
with the idea that their town was Of too
much Importance to be passed by the
railroad, and that their aid was not nee
essary to secure it. The lesson of their
disappointment should not be lost upon
the people Of Independence, who at the
present time are called upon to make Il
decision OF similar import. in short, to
say whether they will or will not secure
a railroad communication which all con-
fess Indispensable, and the loss Of which
would be serious blow to our prosperi
ty.

ST. PATRICK's DAY.-Last Monday was
tho festal day Of Ircland's patron saint
We noticed no noisy demonstrations in
honor of the day in our streets, but in
the evening the Catholic Church was fill
ed with an attentive audience to hear
Father Stallan, of Waterloo, lecture upon
ST. Patrick and his times A historical
account Of the career, sufferings and tri-
umphs Of Ireland's great apostle would
have been absorbingly interesting to q
mixed audience, but the lecture of Father
Scallan was more on the polcmic order,
was moreover diffuse, wandering off into
fields Of controversy, and bringing up at
last at that always suggestive topic for
impassloned denunciation to an Irishman,
the wrongs received by the Green Isle at
the hands of the Saxon. For these rea-
sons the lecture was not listened to even
by devoted Catholics with the interest it
might otherwise have inspired.

that Ames is as spotess and pure az the great and

Let US examine this: South Bend, the
home of Mr.. Colfax, is city Of over T.
900 inhabitants, with diversified indus
tries, and with probably not one in a
hundred Of its people dependent in any
way upon that gentleman, or owing him
anything but good will. EastoD, Mass,
of which North Easton is precinct, is
about the size Of independence. Its one
prominent industry is the immense shov-
el factory belonging TO Cakes Ames and
his brother, and more than one-half Of its
population are dependent directly or in
directly upon Cakes Ames. They turned
out to welcome him rs the dispenser Of
their bread and butter. With these facts
before it the Conservative can estimate
for itself the relative value Of the indorsc-
ment accorded each.
