My interests and sympathies are all
with the teachers let us so thoroughly
unite our forces that those who may be
so stupid as not to be able to be educated
to an intelligent sense Of the propriety of
official and intellectual ability, going
hand in hand, shall become our plisoners
of war, and no exchange shall be made
for them until we shall see sure promises
of a better and wiser course on their part
concerning the schools l have said my
interests are with and for the teachers,
and I shall continually delight to give
them my help. My friend says it is well
known that I encouraged other Boards
to seek my best teachers at Independence
l did this, as fully and voluntarily told
the Board in official meeting that they
might recognize the demand for such
teachers and pay accordingly. l lnvari-
ably told my teachers, Your first duty
is in the schools at Independence, but,
your contract ended, if the Board will not
give you what you can receive in some
other place, 60 by all means to that other
place." and more. l will help teachers,
who are abundantly competent, to such
places as have opportunity. The writ.
er stated what he knew to he essentially
false. My advice to him is to come GU,
and sign his name like man, and tell the
truth. I need not assure you and other
teachers in Buchanan county of my espe
cial interests in the schools of the coun
ty. Their reputation is above the aver
aye of the State, and the results they arc
yearly reaching arc constantly decreasing
| the number Of those Of whom we justly
make complaint. May they still continue
| to do so good work that they shall b.
able, by their intelligent influence, to hell
correct the evils of which | write.

The Philadelphia Press abiding
with concern and apprehension to
the evidences Of corruption and
the de noralizing influences, which
in degree characterize the legis-
la,ion of the country, asks where
can be found the agency to counter
act this tide of wrong and wrong
doing. 1t turns to the press as the
surest and most effective bulwark of
right and the liberties of the people.
1t says:
ave answer these questions
frankly, by declaring that the
American people now have no truer,
more disinterested or vigilant rep
resentative than they possess in the
journalists of the land. The press
is the most trustworthy exponent Of
popular rights, and in the hour of
the conntry's shame the people turn
with increased confidence to the
journalist who defends their inter
csts and denounces their wrongs.
We candidly believe that if it were
not for fear of the press, the cor
ruption which develops itself in so
many official places would be ten
fold greater, and show itself with
more effrontery. But the whole
some influence of the press is a bar
rier to official crime and political
corruption, and as the people come
to understand their representative
they will increase their own safety
by charging his powers. When
the American press becomes what
it is fast becoming-the undaunted
antagonizer of wrong in every shape
the American Government will
emerge from the foulness which now
In part surrounds its Legislative
branch, and become the stronger
by reason Of the stern lessons the
governing classes are now learning.
The people are now realizing that
when the press heretofore pointed
to political corruption, the truth
was uttered; and, hereafter, when
the press denounces such wrongs,
the influence of the denunciation
will be felt in the ballot-boX. To
the journalist, therefore, and not
the legislator, will the people rely
for representative that is entirely

THE following item from the Mus

THE following item from the Mus
catine Journal shows some of the
advantages to be derived from rail
road competition, and IS proof of the
fact that communities sometimes do
get back, in reduced freights, what
they have paid to secure compel
ing line:
Our produce buyers are realizing
some of the benefits of the new rail
road, as well as The lumbermen.-
One firm shipped recently nineteen
cars of dressed hogs direct to New
York, realizing on them much bet
ter prices than could be obtained in
Chicago. Shipments to New York
by the Rock Island & Pacific road
being out of the question for some
time past on account of the difficulty
in making transfers at Chicago. If
it had not been for the Muscatine
Western railroad and its connections
eastward, our business men would
have been in bad condition this sea
son, and prices Of produce would
have ruled considerably lower. This
is fact which certain grumblcrs
ought to consider.
Another important fact came to
our knowledge to-day. The new
road will now bring shingles from
Chicago to this place for $40 per
car. The price before being SIS
per car. Thus in many ways the
community is realizing the benefits
of having more than one railroad.

is that never before has there been

parade.
THE BALL.
The ball was the great feature
this evening. The attendance was
immense, the elite of the country
being upon the floor. The ball room,
with its sixty chandeliers, was hand
somely decorated, the arched cell
ing being one mass of crimson and
gold ornaments, on black ground
of white muslin. The bases of the
arches that span the building and
support the rOof-some thirty in
mum ber--were covered with frame
work running up some twenty feet
and coming to a point at the top,
not unlike the gablod ends of the
ancient buildings of Nuremberg
The woodwork was painted in imi-
tation of columns, the colors used
being light brown and yellow. On
the space at the top are pa ntcd pa
triotic legends, such as ''Pro Bono
Publico," "Republica," "Ecce Ho-
mo-" etc. AT the back of these the
sides of the ball room were covered
with white muslin, so that the dec
orations stood out in bold relief.
The designs at the ends Of this
room were also very elegant. The
one at the north end represented an
arch supported by columns, under
which tesselated ground of red,
white and blue bears the names of
"Grant and Wilson," the whole fin
ished off with the coat Of arms of
the United States, banners, festoons,
gas jets and transparcncies, etc
The design at the opposite (south)
end was not so elaborate, but still
very neat. From red Maltese cross
in the center radiated festoons of
the national colors, bearing appro-
pirate inscriptions in frames Of lau-
rel and gold. Looking down the
immense hall the effect produced
was very beautiful.
The New York train last night
brought mountains of cooked meats,
vegetables and wines and delicacics
Of all kinds, for the use of the sub
committee having the supper in
charge. Boned turkey by the ton,
.janbou a Ia Beiridere by the hun
dred weight, chicken and lobster
salad by the hogshead, and Widow
Cliquot by the gross (of baskets
were among the cargo, which was
all carefully transferred to the trucks
in waiting, and taken to the buffers
pantry adjoining the supper room.
Supper was provided for 10000
guests, and plenty of it for each.
The scene in the ball room was
one of dazzling spIendor.
