The JUDI, mont Of an Opponent.

The Louisville Courier-Jourual
one of the :blest of the Democratic
journals Of the country, records its
final judgment on the case Of Mr..
Colfax, as follows:
ave have taken the trouble to
revise carefully the case Of Mr..
Colfax, as recorded in the Congress
sional investigation and compare it
with the elaborate defense deliver
ed by the late Vice President at
South Bend last Saturday. The
result OF our researches is, that he
has given a successful and salts
factory explanation Of the entire
matter. 1t will require closer
analysis than that which we have
made, or are capable of making, to
alter our opinion that in this bust
ness Mr.. Colfax has been very much
abused and wrongcd, and we are
the reader to allow this since we
have never been tempted, and could
not be induced to sacrifice the pri-
vate character of any man to parti-
sian interest or prejudice in doing
what we desire to be an act Of per-
sonal justice. We desire to be full,
explicit and ungrudgipg, and there
fore we shall not shadow congratu-
lations which we have to offer polit-
zeal adyersaries by any of these
minor disparagements which might
be sanctioned by a less generous
criticism.

Trout Raising In Iowa.

Mr.. II. A. Cleghorn, an old citi-
zen of DEBORAH, is now in the en-
ploy of Mr.. H. Ruble, of North Nc
Oregon, Iowa, engaged in the bust
ness of trout raising. Mr.. Cleghorn
gives us the following facts in rela-
ton to Mr.. Ruble's success, and his
experience in managing the "speck-
led beauties"
About four years ago Mr.. Ruble
conceived the idea that it would be
nice thing to fill the beautiful
spring about one and half miles
above North McGregor, with trout.
Accordingly he purchased few
thousand trout, in the spawn, and
placed them in the spring, and
watched with eagerness the hatch
ing out process. Soon large num-
Der of tiny little fish appeared float
ing or sailing about in the spring,
and Mr.. r. was intensely delighted.
Now the question how to Keep them
came up, and Mr.. r., yet inexperi-
enced in handling or managing the
finny tribe met with many obstacles.
The streams would swell, the
springs overflow, and away would
go the little fishes. However, not
to be outdone or outwitted, he went
to work and built ponds, enclosing
the springs with plank sides and
bottoms, allowing the water to es-
cape only through screens of differ
ent kinds. Finally he was ''master
Of the situation" and had "caged
his BIRDS" and learned their wants
and necessities.
Mr.. Ruble has now about one
half an acre enclosed as ponds, and
each year has increased his flock
until to-day the business is profit
able one.
Last year Mr.. Ruble sold about GO
pounds of trout, weekly, and this
year he will have two to three
thousand pounds of the speckled
luxuries to dispose of. He has now
on hand about 1000 two and three
year old trout and 5000 yearlings.
He has sold and delivered this win
ter, over $4,000 spawn, and will
hatch out this winter over 100000
trout.
So it seems an established fact
that trout can be raised in this
country, and the business made
both pleasant and profitable one

The recreant Congressman who,
influenced by a too fervent love of
the spoils of office, voted themselves
snug advance of Is, 900 on = form
CT contract, and at the same time
provided for prospective tat pick
ings, are not destined to enjoy the
sweets Of their successful sharp
practice without mixture of tribu-
lation. The press and people Of the
whole country are thoroughly arous.
ed at the shameless character Of the
proceeding, and are giving express
sion to their indignation in every
proper way. We notice that the
Illinois House Of Representatives
have adopted resolution By vote
of 1913 to 4, censuring in severe terms
the Congressman from that State
who voted for the steal. Other dem
onstrations of like character will
doubtless follow, and some, at least,

The Iowa delegation in Congress
have united in recommending
Hon. James T. Lane for United
States District Attorney for this
District; and II. C. Van Leuven for
Special Agent of the Postoffice De-
partment. In the latter case, how
ever, the President has got his head
set again, and directed, or at least
requested (which will probably
amount to the same thing), the APP
pointment to Galena man-whose
name has not yet transpired.-Du-
duq1e Times.
The Presidents obstinacy is well
timed in this case. Van Leuven
has no proper qualifications for the
place of Special Mail Agent, and
has no claim upon it except those
arising from the most disgusting
adulation and sycophancy toward
those who Cor the time may have the
dispensation of patronage. That
the Iowa delegation, or any of them,
should have been caught by his
customary lush of sophomore fiat
terry, proves that Congressman are
but human after all.

On the authority of Hon. f. w.
Palmer, who had charge Of the
Postoffice appropriation bill in the
House and was member of the
Conference Committee on the part
Of the House, the State Register
corrects certain misapprchensions
which have gained currency through
the press relative to amendments to
the postal law:
The conference report on the
Postotfice Appropriation Bill retain
ed the clause inserted by the Senate
excluding absolutely from the mails
all free matter after the 3Oth of June,
1878. This, of course, cuts off all
free newspaper exchanges and all
free mail delivery Of county news
papers, which, by the present law,
circulate through the mails free to
all subscribers in the county in
which they are published. The
amendment requiring prepayment
of newspaper postage, and that re.
ducing letter postage to two cents
after the first of July were defeated.
1t is being generally printed that
these two amendments prevailed.
Messrs. Palmer and Sargent, of the
conference committee of the House,
tried to have the free circulation of
exchanges continued, but Farms
worth Of the House Committee and
the Senate members of the commit
tee insisted that if this was done,
they should insist upon Farms
worth's amendment, requiring pre-
payment of all newspapers. Acorn
promise was finally concluded on
the provision requiring payment of
postage on exchanges.

Important to Hard Drinkers.

The Supreme Court of Maryland,
setting a; Baltimore, rendered de-
cision q few days ago which estab-
fishes the precedent, that life insur-
ance companies under the ordinary
conditions of policies, are not liable
in case Of the death of the deceased
by deliristls tyei,ens. The case is
stated as follows:
"The administrator of Christian
Gillerman, deceased, brought suit
in The Supreme Court against the
Knickerbocker Life Insurance Com
pany to recover $4,000 Tor y life
insurance policy issued to the de
ceased husband of the plaintiff
Judge Dobbin, in passing upon the
PRAYERS which had been offered on
both sides, said that the contracts
of insurance companies were to be
construed in the same spirit rs 9th
err contracts. He said that there
could be no reasons why the condi-
ton which awarded the policy IN
the event that the insured did not
die of delirium tremcns should not
be lawful, and that it was consist
ent with public policy, and as the
proof showed that Gillerman died
of the delirium tremcns the policy
was void"

the Soldiers Additional Bounty
Bill makes the statement that out of
all the lands granted to soldiers

Mr.. Collar at Home

The true character and conduct
Of a man, whether in public or pri-
vate station, is nowhere more cor
rectly appreciated or unerringly
Judged, than at his own home, and
among his own neighbors, especi-
ally if he has grown up among them.
There he appears as he is and acts
out his true nature if anywhere. If
he be demagogue or dissembler,
if he be crafty, dishonest, or defic-
lent in moral stamina, or is posses
sed of any traits constituting a
permanent defect in his character,
none will know it so well or place
the proper estimate upon him so
surely as those who in years OF
unrestricted social and business in
tercourse have had the opportunity
to test him.
Judged by this standard the
hearty, enthusiastic, generous re-
ception and welcome extended to
Mr.. Colfax, on Saturday last, by his
neighbors of South Bend, irrespec.
tive of party must be regarded as
a powerful protest by those who
know him best, against the injustice
and wrong done HIM in connection
with the Credit Mobiler investiga-
ton. This spontaneous demonstra-
ton by his own townsmen, while
not proof of Mr.. Colfax' integrity
and honor, is yet evidence of the
weakness of the assaults upon him
and welcome assurance that life
record of unstained public service
and disinterested patriotism is yet
of some weight in the scale against
the unsupported, inconsistent testi-
mopy of a mercenary schemer, and
convicted briber.
But if any candid mind is .yet in
doubt as to the issue of veracity
between Mr.. Coltax and Cakes
Ames that doubt should be removed
by the frank and manly speech
made by Mr.. Colfax to his neigh
bors and constituents on this occa-
sion, extracts from which we give
in another column. Its statements
have every indication of truth and
sincerity, and are corroborated by
testimony and facts which we are
not permitted to question.
