Unjust Determination.

The following incident told by the
Carlinville Qll.) Enquirer, indi-
Gates that the employees of the H.
linois railroads place a strict con-
struction upon the railroad law, and
live up to it to the letter:
On one of the G. & A. trains, a
few days since, was a newly mar
ried couple. AS they had never
"been there BEFORE" it was quite
natural for them to do considera-
bic amount of CHILLING and cooling"
and John most gracefully held
Mary in his arms, while an oc-
casional smack could be heard by
those occupying adjacent seats.
Presently the conductor, Jack Dun,
ming, came along to get their tick
cts; he took the pasteboards, punch
ed them, and remarked to the fel
low that he must stop that, and
went ON his rounds. Coming through
the car after the next station had
been passed, Jack observed that his
command had MT been obeyed, ant
he repeated it. Another station had
been passed, AMI John still had hi
arms encircling Mary. Jacl
stopped, looked at the couple, an(
told the young man he must stop
"But 1 have a right to hug her.
said John. "Not on a railroad,
said Jack, "there is law agains
all unjust discrimination on rail
roads, and as havn't got a woman
for each man on the train to hug
your action is a violation of the law
and must be stopped"

Guelphs and Ghibbelines

We have before alluded in dep.
recatory terms, to the bitter and
seemingly interminable controversy
which divides the Republicans of
Polk county. The monotonous de-
tails of this unnatural feud, as de-
veloped in the daily issues of the
organs Of tho rival clans, have long
since failed to excite any other feel
ing than disgust, in the readers of
those papers in other parts of the
State. If any principle were in
volved in this faction fight, it
might be tolerated, though offensive;
but, growing entirely out of polit-
ical jealousies, and business rival
ries, it is utterly indefensible, and
deserving of reprobation by the
Republican party OF the State, the
harmony and good name of which
it in a degree compromises. We
agree perfectly with the following
from the West Union Gazette:
The Republicans of Polk coun-
ty have long been divided, and a
bitter, ugly and unnecessary war is
waged, disgraceful to the immedi'
ate participants and offensive to the
entire State. The leaders in the
opposing elements have been
Messrs. Palmer and Kasson; but
with the removal of the former to
Chicago and the election of the lat
ter to Congress, it appears to many
throughout the State that the neces-
sity, if any ever existed, for contin-
uing in being the feud, has been
removed. So long as the questions
of difference were confined to the
county, without occupying too prom.
inently the space of the organs of
the two factions, outsiders were in
different; but latterly it has been
forced upon them, both in the Leg
islature and in State Conventions,
until it has become very unpleas'
ant, to say the least, and the sooner
it terminates the better will it be for

The St. Louis Democrat thinks
there is a sensible "decadence" Of
the power Of the ring caucus
throughout the land. Mr.. Henry B.
Harrison paraded some wholesome
doctrines in an address recently de-
livered to the Republican legislators
at Hartford. He began by saying
that, on this subject, he was neither
high church nor low church, but
broad church. He believed in the
caucus a certain extent; parties
could not well get along without it.
He would not feel at liberty to take
part in one and then refuse to sub
nit to it's decision, merely because
that decision happened not to tally
with his own opinions of personal
preferences. Ifthe caucus nominee
was fit man, he wonld vote for
him every time. Otherwise, he
would not. There higher duty
came in and elbowed aside the low
err. No body of men had the right
to require him to support an unit
man for public Office. When the
caucus undertook that, it overstep-
ped its proper limitations; it was to
be firmly resisted and taught its
place. The duty of the citizen to
resist caucus dictation becomes
more imperative when men are nom-
mated for office, because they have
been guilty of official delinquency,
as is iometemes the case.

The Dubuque Times offers the
following sensible suggestions upon
the attitude of parties at the present
time, and the assumed necessity for
a new one:
Parties must be divided upon
questions of principle, and a new
party, springing out of pressing
necessities, must have some great
purpose to accomplish in order to
draw to 1t the sympathies of the
masses. Voters will not leave a
party with which they have been
identified, through whose instrument
tality great and bcneicent changes
have been wrought, that keeps itself
in accord with popular desire, and
plants itself precisely where any
opposition party must plant itself to
invite confidence. They will not
believe that men in one party are
more honest than men in another
party, they will not believe that the
professions in tho one case are more
reliable than professions in the
other; and if there is no distinction
of doctrine, no distinction of pur.
pose, no distinct and definite prin-
ciple or policy enunciated, in any
movement for q new organization,
they will not leave the old for the
| new.
These being self evident facts,
what promise is there now for the
sccess of a new party organization?
What does it offer of distinctive
policy, to entitlc it to greater con-
fidence than the party now in pos
session of the Government? What
promise does it make that is not also
made by the Republican party?
What result does it propose to
achieve that the Republican party
does not give evidence Of a dcterm-
ination to secure? What measures,
different or more trustworthy, to
bring about these needed results,
does 1t propose that the Republi-
can party has not itself suggested,
and is now advocating? Surely
none.
The Republican party has been in
power now over twelve years. Dur
ing that time it has had to confront
grave difficulties, more new and per
picking questions Of government
than ever was presented to any Other
party to solve. 1t solved them wei
solved them SO judiciously and
wisely that the country endorses its
decisions and accepts its work. The
whole moral force of the organiza
ton has been in one direction, and
that to secure the just rights of tho
whole people, and no one proposes
to contest the results achieved.

THE Springfield Qll) Journal
does not see any thing particularly
alarming in the demonstrations OF
ambitious and disappointed politi'
clans. 1t says:
The masses of the people watch
the movements Of the newly f1edged
"reformers," and of the "indepen'
dent organs of the country with in
difference and unconcern. The
"farmcrs" themselves fully appreci'
ate the efforts of such newspapers,
and of such uneasy politicians, to
array the agricultural interest
against the Republican progress;
and, when the time comes for action.
they will assert themselves in 8
manner which will be fearful to the
bummers and dead-bcats who arc
trying to use them. The politica
sentiment of the nation is Republi
can, and it will rally in the future
as in the past; to preserve Republl'
can supremacy in the administra
ton Of the government.

Will Have to Face the Music.

Thus far the denunciations of the
people relative to the salary grab,
have been almost exclusively poured
out upon those members who took
the back pay, and especially, those
who, having voted against the bill,
yet took the increase. Doubtless a
great many members Of the present
Congress have concluded that the
feeling of the people would exhaust
itself in this direction, and that the
salary as fixed would be permitted
to stand, and that they would be al
lowed to reap the advantages of
their unfortunate predecessors
action. But it is becoming very
evident that such hopes, if INDUCED
in, will prove illusory. There is
every indication that the nature of
the peoples demands in this matter
is fast undergoing change, or rath-
er another phase OF their feelings
is becoming dominant. 1t is APP
parent that their dissatisfaction
extends as fully to the increase of
salaries as to the taking ofback pay,
and the new members must expect
to face the direct question of the
increase, and to be held responsible
for their votes on that direct issue.
There will be many members seek
ing popularity, who will be ready
to introduce propositions for a re-
peal of the increased salaries on the
first day of the session, and doubt
less not few of the unfortunate
ones, who are under a cloud for ia
king back pay, will try and redeem
themselves by showing that they
are as fierce for repeating the in
crease Of salaries as they were to
oppose its adoption at first. There
can be no question, therefore, that
the first business of Congress at its
coming session, will be to decide
whether the increase of pay shall
stand, or whether salaries shall re-
cur to former figures. Those who
voted against repeal, there seems
70 room to doubt, will BIZ held to as
stern and strict an accountability as
are those who voted for the obnox-
ious measure, or those who have
consented to take their salaries. For
one, we believe that, as in 1916.
there will be an unconditional re-
peal Of salary increase. This may
be followed, as it doubtless ought
to be, by revised salary bill that
will properly adjust all salaries in
the Federal executive and legisla'
Tive departments. - Dubuque Times,

A movement for reform, to be
effective and to secure the conf
dence of the people, must have al
least the appearance of disinterest'
edness. When, as in the case Of
the sham movement in this county,
it is developed and manipulated by
a hungry swarm Of ofiice-seekers,
each intent on using it for his own
selfish advancement, it proclaims to
al the world its deceptive and dis
honest character. We do not deny
that there are honest and well-mean-
ing men, who have been led by its
catch words of ssreform" and "anti-
monopoly" to give momentary coun-
terance to the new party. We know,
also, that other honest men have
been placed in the attitude of en-
dorsing it, who will not have any
thing to do with it in any shape.
But we do affirm that the men main
ly active in giving it the appearance
of spasmodic vitality are not only
not honest, but that they are foster
ing it directly to assist them to
reach the county offices. This needs
no demonstration to a shrewd OBJ
server; and indeed so absorbed are
the parties alluded to in their de-
sign, and so little do they care to
conceal their purposes and aspira-
tons, that some of them are openly
working for one office, and, at the
same time, holding another in re-
serve, in case of the failure OF the
first venture. Others are going
about, alternately rcciting the
g!ofies of the new movement, and
asking people to sign written en-
dorsements of their own claims for
some particular Office.
Neither are these Performers" at
all particular regarding means.
Falsehood, misrepresentation, and
uncandor, are, in their hands, as IA
miliar weapons as If they, and the
party they invoke, were made of
common clay, instead of the
immaculate anti-everything-that-is-
bad-and-wicked, that they profess to
be. Their mission seems to be to
show up the fallacy of the old fogy
proposition, that no good thing can
come by bad means. They propose
to demonstrate that reform and pu-
rity are possible Of attainment
through agencies the reverse of
pure, and honest, and sincere. The
event will be watched with interest,
but with little faith, by the people.

The Changers of Delaware CO

The Changers OF Delaware coun
ty, in this State, have adopted reso-
lutions declaring that the introduce
ton of politics into the order would
destroy fraternal feeling, cngender
strife, and defeat the purposes which
it was intended to accomplish; and
affirming that the attitude of the
farmers toward both political parties
should be such as to command their
respect and consideration.-Er.
The above shows the Changers of
our neighboring county to be wise
and sensible men. We apprehend
that they will have no occasion to
complain that their interests, wish
es or preferences arc unheeded by
the Republican party of Delaware,
if indeed, they themselves do not
constitute SO large a proportion of
the party as to control it.

AN important decision was rem.


edered by Hon. John Mitchell, Judge
. Of the Circuit Court of the Polk dis
krict, a few days since, affirming
the constitutlonality of the law of
1868, by which incorporated cities
and towns are authorized to regu-
, late and prohibit the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors not prohibited by the
laws of the State, said intoxicating
liquors being held to include wine
and beer. 1t has been heretofore
supposed that towns and cities could
not prohibit the sale of these latter
beverages. This decision is just and
right, and will probably be sus
tanned in the higher court

some people. The State University

that Vice President Wilson has

Secretary Chase SO long occupied
a paralytic lnvalid-to whom life is
of most uncertain duration. The
nature Of his disease may not utterly
destroy his usefulness as man and
public servant, but it will I'M
doubtedly limit his ambition and

cessation from anything of an excit-
ing sort, he may yet enjoy for many
years kind of honorary post in the
