Looking Allen d.

Porte Welci, editor Of the Reform
Leader, Oskaloosa, makes his bid for
a nomination for Congress in 1874,
too plain to be misunderstood. He
tried to secure a nomination for
State Representative this fall at the
hands Of the Anti-Monops, and an
nounced himself as an independent
candidate, but was crowded off the
track. N6@ he says to himself
"Well don 60 up higher" The
peopl1d dhct hin. In the Leg
islature, but he concludes they can
be persuaded to send him to Con-
gress. Porte is the widest politician
in the District or in tho State, and
has more absurd hobbies than any
other man in Iowa, but he has also
some excellent ideas. He says:
Now is the time to agitate the Is
sues that are to enter into the cam.
paign of 1874.
Give us Il candidate for Congress In
favor Of a tariff for Revenue only.
Make him pledge himself to reduce
Congressmen's salaries to $1,000 Il
year, and promise to vote against the
re-enactment OF the franking privi-
lege.
Make him pledge himselfi in favor
OF the reduction of the Presidents
salary to the old standard of s25, 900 a
year.
Swear him in favor of the strictest
economy in every department Of the
government.
Pledge him in favor of the remov-
nj Of the capital to the Mississippi
valley, not further west than to the
Missouri river, nor further south than
st. Louis, nor further north than
Chicago.
Pledge him in favor of uniform ma
tional Legislation to control railroads
that affect interstate transportation.
Pledge him in favor Of submitting
an amendment To the Y. s. Constitu-
tion providing for the election Of the
President by dii ect vote Of the peo-
pie, and change the day OF the Presi-
Dental election, or the days for State
elections, so rs not to have the Presi-
dental election controlled by the
preceding election, in a few States on
the eve Of the Presidential election.
Pledge him to 60 slow on new-fan-
gled ideas, but to try and give bet.
ter finance system.
Pledge him In favor Of abolishing
our present system Of internal reve-
nue. taxation, and collect all federal
taxes direct from the people through
the State governments.
Pledge him agains. religious
amendment to the Constitution.
Pledge him against any further
improvements Except necessary re-
pairs) at the Federal Capital until
the Capital shall have been perma.
nently located in q more central
portion Of the Union.
Swear him in favor OF every good
and wholesome measure. and against
the corruption OF ALL parties in
everything you can think Of from
now until election day, and on that
day let the farmers, mechanics and
Iaboring lnen vote as q unit for the
best man regardless Of party.

The Ottumwa Democrat, one Of the
most radical OF radical Democratic
papers in Iowa, since the election is
over, manifests a degree Of candor
which 1t dared not display before.
1t now boldly boasts that the results
OF the late elections indicate that
"Anti-Monopoly is thoroughly iden-
tilted with Democracy" 1t says
they will henceforth be blended,
together, "and will work together
harmoniously for the overthrow OF
the Radical party"
When we gave our Republican
Grange friends warning OF this be-
fore the election our words were pro-
nounced b..se libel, and construed
into opposition to the Grange. The
facts that the Anti-Monopoly or
Grange party was identical with the
Democratic party except in name,
that the latter temporarily laid aside
its name because the name had be-
come odious, and for the purpose OF
decoying Republicans into union
with the design of ultimately over
throwing the Republican party,
were very carefully concealed. The
trap was very nicely hidden under
a very tempting bait. We shall see
whether the word Anti. Monopoly
Is sufficient to hold them together
and make the marriage permanent
ly happy one.

The New York Daily Sun, Of late
date says. The Iowa State Agfi-
cultural College is in bad condition.
One of the students has committed
suicide, several are sick, and theinsti-
tuition is almost deserted" The Sun
has one paragraphlst at least who is
more enterprising than truthful.
The facts are that the institution is
in a prosperous condition; is crowd
ed with students; there Is no sick
ness there, and the student who at
tempted suicide week or two since
has recovered from his self-inflicted
injury. The Iowa State Agricultur-
al College is yet an institution Of
which the State and country may
we'll be proud.

A PETRIFIED NEGRo.-A most singular,
and apparently well authenticated story,
comes to us from Roanoke, Howard
county. and disclosing, if true, freak
of nature in the way of petrifactlon
without parallel, as we suppose. The
story runs about thus: In oyerhauling
the effects of an old cabinet-maker, re-
Gently deceased, metallic comm was
found hid away next the roof OF the
building. The top of the coffin was Sc
curely screwed down, and the screws
rusted in their places, Upon an attempt
being made to remove the coffin, It's
weight was found to be such as 10
instIfv the conclusion that IT was occu-
MED by some weighty body; and strange
10 saw. that when the top was finally re-
moved. the body of a negro boy, appa-
rently twelve or fifteen years OF age,
perfectly petrifed, even TO the minuiest
particular, was found within. How this
thing has occurred or how il could or
should be accounted for, is mystery.
As we write there Is a person before as
who has seen and touched this singular
petrifaction. We hear incidentally that
a merchant at Roanoke during the war
missed a metallic coffin from his store,
for which he could not then account,
and that the coffin now found, so
strangely tenanted, proves 10 pe tnat
coffin. Rumor further declares .nat a
negro boy mysteriously disappeared ironl

associating the two was al tnat time en-

THE PENALTY OF ENGLISH LACK OF
ENTERPRISE. - When Nj. de Lesseps
sought assistance of England in his SuaE
canal scheme, Lord Palmerston persist
emily gave him the cold shoulder, and
when the Foreign Secretary spoke OF the
enterprise as being fettered with physl-
cal difficulties which would prove insur-
mountable, English capitalists generally
refused to do anything towards raising
the requisite amount of money. Or the
sixteen million pounds expended on the
canal twelve millions were furnished by
France, and now that the project has
turned out to be successful, M. de Les
seps, who virtually controls it, makes
Englishmen pay roundly for lack of en-
thusiasm and foresight. Any legal ques
tions which come up in connection with
the company are put into French courts,
and English ship owners engaged in trade
with the East are consequently very APT
to find themselves at loss for any rem
edy against what they may consider un-
lust decisions. For upwards OF year
now the canal dues have been charged
upon the gross and not upon the net ton
mage. and this has been equivalent to q
rise of fifty per cent. in those dues. Ihis
costs England dear, for out of every
hundred ships going through the canal
seventy mine fly the British fiag.

cheney. The prohibitory plan OF deal
ing with this question has not since that
time been disturbed in Vermont, and the
only action taken thereon has been to
increase, rather than diminish, its severe
penalties. Whatever may be the opinion
of the citizens of this State in reference
to the present law, we think that they
will never be persuaded to try " local
option" again. Other States may profit
by our experience.

THE UNITED STATES CHIEF JUSTICE
sHIP.-The Free Press is in error. The
first announcement in Vermont at least,
that Senator Edmunds was Ineligible to
the Chief Justiceship of the United States
was made in THE HERALD, and the item
was copied 0erbatina by the Free Press
the following day. The Free Press is
further in error Judge Poland is eligible
to the appointment. The increase of sala-
ry bill passed during the term of office
of Judge Poland as a Representative in
Congress, which expired March 4th,
1878. His present term of office, which
commenced Immediately thereafter, has
nothing to do with his eligibility. as
will be readily seen by reference to the
constitutional provision. The Free Press
is still further in error. The salary of
the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
of the United States has not been before
raised during Mr. Edmunds' present
term of service. The first in
crease, from sixty-five hundred to eigh-
ty-five hundred dollars, in the salary,
was made during the first term of Mr..
Edmunds' service, being the unexpired
term for which our townsman, Hon.
Solomon Foot, was elecued, and to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of
whom, Mr.. Edmunds was first appoint
ed by the Governor and afterwards elect
ed by the LEGISLATURE, and which eX-
pired March 4th, 1869.

VERMONT DAIRYMEN's ASSOCIATION. -
We have received from the secretary,
O. s. Bliss, the transactions of the
Vermont Dairymen's Association for the
year ending October 23d, 1872" 1t is a
publication full of interest, and should
be in the hands of every dairyman and
farmer of the State This volume
which is the third of the serics-has a
local interest for Rutland county, as it
contains a report of the papers and de-
bates at their third winter meeting,
at this place, In January of last year.
We trust the secretary will excuse us, if
we presume to make a correction, even
if our ''too meagre" an abstract did mot
afford any satisfactory idea Of its merits
and value" Mr. Colds address todS
written and was, for time, in our pos
session. We had been promised, by Mr..
Gold, the use of his manuscript, which
we purposed to publish in full. and,
therefore, our reporter refratned from
taking notes, or paying any particular
attention to the paper when read. 1t
was handed to us, in accordance with
the promise, but before we had an OPP
portunity to use, copy or, even abstract
it, Mr.. Gold left for his home, we think,
on the very day of its delivery, and took
with him the manuscript. Our abstract
thereof, which is reproduced in the
transactions, was necessarily ''mea-
gre" and unsatisfactory, either to our
selves or our readers, having been writ
ten entirely from memory of an address
inattentively listened to and without a
single note to refresh it.

CENTENNIAL COMMISSION. We have
received from Prof Middleton Gold
smith, NJ. d., for which he Will accept
our thanks, a copy of the journal of
the Proceedings of the United States
Centennial Commission, at Philadelphia,
1872" bulky pamphlet of some four
hundred pages. 1t contains not only the
journal of the proceedings of the com
mittees and system of classification, ="
subject, however, to future revision, for
the arrangement of the different depart
ments, groups, etc, for the ''lnterna
tional Exhibition" or centennial Cele-
bration, at Philadelphia, in 1916, and is
work full of interest and permanent
value. DR.. Goldsmith appeared as the
commissioner for Vermont, and took his
seat at the meeting held in Philadelphia
in December last, the first meeting after
his appointment, was appointed mem
ber of important committees, addressed
the convention in reference to the work
expected to be done in Vermont toward
making the exhibition a credit to the
country, etc etc. The appreciation in
which he seems to be held by his brother
commissioners, and the part he has taken
in the work of the commission, proves
that his appointment was the best that
could have been made.
