SOUND TALK.-The Sioux City
Journal, in discussing "Confdence
Practices in Politics." says the fol-
lowing, among many other pertin-
ent things:
While we insist that the masses
of the people, without reference to
their party predictions, are possess
ed Of integrity and actuated by
good purposes, there is wide oppor-
tunity for difference of opinion as to
what is sound policy. Right here,
and no where else, must come the
diverging line of parties.
The best efforts against the Repub-
lican party in Iowa to-day are based
upon a contrary view Of the case.
The idea is held out that party
is to be formed from which all seal
awags are to be excluded, and that
it's affairs are to be managed solely
in the interest of political and per-
sonal purity. 1t is assumed that all
bad men are to be left in Republican
organization, and that in the new
party there can be no opportunity
for unfaithtulness Of any sort. The
position is palpably dishonest, and
we cannot avoid the inference that
it is assumed to allure voters to
promote purpsses.that are not made
public. AS men dissemble love to
betray, SO these organizers of the
so-called Anti-Monopoly party pro-
claim for honesty and faithfulness
in Office to gain the votes of the peo-
pie. Can we expect dishonesty to
bear honesty as, it's fruit?
Let us apply common sense prin-
ciples in selecting our line of duty,
and when We have determined that
duty proceed to its discharge with
the independence and fearlessness
OF men tit to govern themselves.
We need to do more thinking for
ourselves. We need larger capaci-
ty to apply right judgment. We
need better appreciation of the fact
that deception is the stock in trade
of the demagogue. We need more
clearly to comprehend that profess
ions and works do widely differ.

enable these gentlemen to develop
their quarry, and demonstrate
whether or not it will afford the
stone needed for the building. In
reference to this point there is
difference of opinion, and nothing
short of actual demonstration will
settle the question satisfactorily.
1t is important that the stone used

The Keokuk Gate City shows the
supreme folly of the latest movement
of the Democratic manipulators;
No wilder or more impossible
project was ever invented than the
proposal to organize the farmers,
mechanics, and laborcrs of the coun-
in new party, opposed to the Re
publican party. The laboring peo-
pie of the country compose, in a We
ry large measure, the Republican
party, the farmers are overwhel-
mingly Republican. Our great Re:
publican majorities do not como
from the cities. Many of these are
Democratic. Even Boston itself is
doubtful, and goes Democratic some
times. But the rural districts may
be always counted upon TO swell
the column of Republican MAORI
ties.

THERE is not a visible sign of
"Anti-NEenopoly" partisanship in
Dubuque county, and the Herald is
constrained to ask with agonized
carnestness, why steps are not taken
to have the county represented in
the Anti-Monop. convention next
week. Still no response comes up
from the Democratic stronghold of
Iowa. 1t is only in Republican
counties that the Democracy are
actively pushing the new party. Can
the Republicans in the new party
see nothing significant in this.

The new party movement in

The new party movement in
Ohio, is not distinguished sue
cess. At the Columbus convention,
two weeks since, the Liberal party
of last year formally shed its name
and uniting with few old fossil
Democrats, Of which Geo. E. Pugh
is fair specimen, organized a new
party without a name, nominated a
State ticket OF Democrats and Lib.
erals, and passed a series of plati-
titudes in the form of resolutions.
The significant feature of the whole
thing however, is the utter refusal
Of the regular Democracy, led by
Thurman, to have anything to do
with the bantling. The latter held
a State Convention at Columbus on
Wednesday, in which every county
in the State was represented, and q
regular State Democratic ticket
placed in nomination. Senator
Thurman was present, and made a
speech endorsing the action Of the
convention. The moral of all this
is that the Democracy of Ohio have
a slight hope of carrying the State,
and do not propose even Temporal
rily to sink their organization in the
the "Anti- Monopoly puddle. In
Iowa the situation is different. Sap
ping and mining is the order here.

We think the Democrats who are
now running the "People's Conven-
tions' and Autobiography Conven-
tions," and conventions with number
less other designations, may well
take into sober consideration the
words of their most able United
States Senator, Thurman Of Ohio,
who tells them that ga mere change
of name effects nothing. An attempt
to form a new party with no higher
object than success, never did and
neverlwill meet with success"

Democrats, are growing clamorous
for State Convention Of their own.
One Democrat was saying yester-

was already dwindled to such ia
per that Grinnell had the best pros
pect of being it's nominee for Gov
ernor. This was entirely too taper

A MOST remarkable phenomenon

A MOST remarkable phenomenon
occurred in Lima and Callao, Peru,
on the night of the 9th of July, being
nothing more or less than a del
uging rain. Rain rarely, if ever,
falls upon that coast, and the houses
are built without protection from
moisture, the roofs being made
principally of cane. The result
therefore, of the dcluge, was that
the houses and everything in them
was completely saturated, badly in
Turing carpets, dresses, furniture,
books, bedding, &c. The loss in
Lima, alone, will reach, it is stated,
half a million of dollars

or more.

The newspaper advocates Of cap
ital punishment are making use OF
the late railroad raid in which a
train of cars were thrown from the
track, by a band Of masked Williams,
and the engineer killed, to inquire
whether it was best to abolish the
death penalty in Iowa. The ques-
tion must be answered without ref.
erence to the railroad robbery, for
if the rascals were caught, and
hanging for murder yet the law, it
would not affect them in the least.
Their offence in the eye of the law,
is manslaughter, for which the pen
atty is not death, neither has it
been changed.

A platform for the new party
which the farmers are demanding
is generously offered by the Du1u
que Telegraph. After crushing the
embryo organization under the fear
full name of"Democratic Republi-
CAM" it proposes as issues free COM
merce, free banking. one uniform
currency issued by the nation, the
payment of the national dept at par
in currency, the right of labor to
share the profits of labor and CAPT
tai, retrenchment and economy in
Government expenditures and COR
respondingly low taxation, opposi-
ton to the creation Of corporate
monopolies, and to those mono
poles ruling or expressing the PEG
pie. The New York Tribune re-
marks, in commenting on this new
move of the Telegraph that party
which should undertake such task
as is here laid out "would never be
burdened with leisure" There is
not much reason to apprehend that
such a policy will become generally
popular with the leaders of the new
opposition to the Republican party,
as they are for the most part disap
pointed officc-seekers who want
great deal of leisure and a rate Of
taxation that will yield to them
large spoils. The spoils perchance
they must have IN order to enable
them to make up what they have
missed while waiting so many years
to get chance to line their pockets
at the public crib. The 7elegraphs

duals. 1t is altogether too Slow

An Ancient Newspaper.

Mr.. A. r. Blood has placed in oul
hands for inspection, curious relic
of the olden time, in the shape OF
an undoubtedly original copy Of
the Charleston, S. G. Getty Gazette
and Daily Advertiser" of the date
of September 9th, 1906. 1t is folio
sheet, in size 20 by "a inches, print
ed with the old style type, and filled
almost exclusively with advertise
mcnts, among which figure prom
inently, rewards for runaway slaves,
slave auctions, &c. The second,
and a portion of the third pages,
are devoted TO reading matter. One
striking contrast which it presents
to the newspaper of to-day is the
entire absence of editorials. There
is not line of editorial opinion or
comment in the whole paper, but in
stead, European intelligence three
months old, news from New York
and Boston which had been month
coming, and a column or two of
correspondence, and n column Of
poetry. One correspondent, "Me-
dicus," protests "with unspeakable
regret and and establishment"
against the favor shown by the med
ical profession to the newly discov-
cred remedy for yellow fever, by
the celebrated DR.. Rush of Phil
adelphia; said remedy consisting
mainly of copious bleeding and
large doses of jalap and calomel,
which shows that the heroic treat
mcnt had some enemies even in
those days. Another levels his
weapon against an abuse, indigenous
to this age as well as that, the too
lax exercise Of the pardoning power.
AS specimen Of the poetry, we
give few lines of a satirical ode
composed for the 4th Of July, 1896,
and calculated for the meridian of
some of the country towns in Mas
sachusetts and New Hampshire
