A sensible correspondent OF the
Couatsy Gentlemen discusses the ques-
tion why tho hay crop is growing
lighter from year 10 year Among 9TH
er things, he says:
Another resson hiss been whispered,
which is this That on account Of the
great competition among the different
moving machines which shall shave

meadows the closest, the roots of the
grass are really and permanently in.
jured by leaving them bare, and thus
very liable TO be frozen out absolutely.
We believe good deal OF clover is
killed out in this way,the crowns beinv
sliced OF TO the very roots. Close
moving Of grass. like close cropping
of the human hatr, is a very senscless
practice. The "velvet cut" as it is
called, which makes men with dark
brown hair look for all the world like
monkeys. deprives the head, to all in-
tents and purposes, OF its natural pro-
lection. So shaving the meadows
deprives them OF that natural mulch
ing which is such protection against
the dronghts OF summer and the rig
ors of winter.

THE nAWMEyE DIN MK0 III DEE 0OAB Is

The Burlington Hasuksye takes ex
ception to our protest against agitat

candidates, the names ofmen withOu
any authority SO to do. II says. "W,
do mot see why anybody should b,
opposed to this course of procedur,
unless his favorite candidate has beer
dragged into the lists.' And further
on II adds: Fret not thyself friend
Courier, unless somebody IL ventilat.
ing thy candidate. Ifthatb be the case
stop 1t If you can, for 90 early . start
in tho race will certainly kill him. :
II the Hawkcye had sought to have
done us justice, it would have asccr-
tanned as to our having candidate
among these gentlemen dragged into
the newspapers as such, by our arti-
Gle, in which We aaid that IL any one
Of the gentlcmen named, had con-
claded TO bc candidate, or limited
even that he might be, We were not
aware oft. Therefore, our friends Of
the Ha,ckeye should have concluded
that none of than could be deemed
our candidate. We gave, as we
thought, good reason for our protest
when we said that 'insinuatjons alone
do injustice to parties to whom they
refer, % they are unworthy of reply,
and yet they may fssten very wrong
impression upon the public mind"
The Hapkeye agrees with us as to the
injury this course infiicts upon the gem
tlemen named, and yet It proceeds to
insiuuate still further, by intimating
that we have candidate who is get
ting hurt, and hence we protest. This
further insinuation in this matter Of
candidates, now strikes at us, and is as
much as TO say that The Courier de-
fends against an acknowledged wrong,
only where scTfishness prompts; that
injustice with us is alone protested
against unless our own OK has been
gored. Are we to conclude in the
light Of the faithful saying, s'Out OF
the abundance OF the heart the mouth
speaketh. That the Hapk.y We rejects
fairly Its code of honor when It says II
does not see why anybody should pro-
test against injustice unless his partic-
ular friend ia hurt3 Is 1t necessary
for us to say laconically that we have
no candidate for U. S. Senator in or
der that the Hcmkeye shall not charge
upon us selfiehness for what wc say !?
Ifso friend Hd,cteye, let it be consid-
cred said. We could have no candi-
date now for Senator, for the to ue En-
cellent reason that candidates may be
made and unmade such, in the long
time yet intervening before a choice 10
to be made, and we may add further,
that ve hope that II IL be possible, the
Federal Constitution may be 30 amend
cd g to enable the padpla ~ larse 70
elect Senators BY vote before Iowa
shall have chosen smother. Let It be
understoOd thai IL gentlemen write and
publish upon good authority, that this
or that man is candidate, then in such
cases we make aud have not made any
protest. II is the gossipy tattling In
to the injury of good men
to which we object.

BACK RAY.

Il
Tho lmter- Ocean, in speaking Of the
Hon. John F. Farnsworth, giving
away his increase pay says:
Mr.. Tarnsworth will not have the
money thus obtained. He has been con.
sidering' tho matter rather long, per-
haps, for 1t must have occurred to him
at once that he could not take it; but
1t is sufficient that he will not accept It.
Hardly this either; for Mr.. Farnsworth
has accepted the money, and then pro-
ceeded to serve another purpose by
giving 1t away. In his letter, Mr.. +.
says: ] cannot accept this money
without feeling that l should thereby
become party to conspiracy to en-
bezzle the Governments money Hav.
ing said this, he very coolly proceeds
to take it and parcel 1t out among his
constituents, thus making them parts
cepS criminis to the affair. If to take
tho money and put IL in his own pock-
ct would be embexxlement, what does
he call the taking Of it to stuff into the
pockets Of others? The constituents
Of Mr.. Farnsworth should spurn such
gift, and were It directly offered to
indiyiduals instead Of to municipal
bodies, this would probably be the
result"
Tarnsworth says that by accepting
this money he would feel that he
should become . party to embezzling
from the Government, 60 he proceeds
at once to still keep this money out Of
the Treasury Of the United States, from
which he says 1t was embezzled, and
places 1t to the credit Of his constitu-
ents, by putting II in the Treasures
of the counties of his district.
Tho query pointedly arises, If he
holding the money would be party
to filching funds from the United
States, what position does the same
course of reasoning place the people
of the counties 10, to whom he gives
the money, if they retain IL? lu plain
words, If embczzlement or wrong,
tainted the first obtaining of the
money, how many hands must 1t pass
through Gall having knowledge OF how
il was obtaiued), before it will lose the
taint?
Gentlemen, Supervisors of Wapello
County, how does this great moral
question strike your II is possible
you have . case in point. Wo are
aware that all fines properly 60 into
the School fund, but isnt It grave
question whether this back pay belongs
in the class of tinee.
