The "Farmers and Laborers''
of Webster county called conven.
ton at Fort Dodge a few weeks
few weeks since, but the Democ.
racy, under the lead of their cho.
sen leaders, came in and, after a
stout tussle captured it, changing
the name to "Anti-Monopoly" con-
vention. Which moves thcriNessen-
ger to say:

How to Drink.

Shannon, the wag of the Elkader
Journal, insists that if young men
will drink liquor, they should do it
gracefully; and proceeds in the fol
lowing precise and painstaking
style, to describe the act of i'm
billing with proper elegance:
The following is the proper way
to do the business. 1t may come a
little awkward at first, but practice
will make it easy, and the habit of
doing the thing gracefully and east
ly will save you from a world of
ridlcule and from many of the evils
which crazy temperance people are
always charging as sure to follow
drinking. Stand up straight like a
man; your left side to the bar; take
the glass neatly and firmly between
the tips of the thumb and four fin
gers of the right hand, letting the
little finger"drop down to near the
bottom of the glass; swing the glass
in plane exactly corresponding
with the top of the bar, until it is
precisely before you. Just then
throw the head back a little, push
the chin forward, SO as to leave the
throat in a full open, easy position.
Compress the lips tightly, draw a
full breath through the nostril, and,
with a graceful curve of the arm,
raise the glass until the rim is with
in about three inches of your chin.
Now is the supreme moment. Just
here, turn your eyes upward, think
of your mother, and-opem yoat,'
hand, instead Of your mouth. If
any body laughs it will be an in
suit which you should resent by
never going there again.

,arty movement.

A Newport letter says: "But
there is new sensation upon Bell
evue in the shape of a brand new
game called Chivalry. Itmakes it's
first appearance in Mr.. Lorilliard's
grounds, and it attracts numberless
eyes. You catch the sound Of mall
ets-a click clack which is unlike
croquet-and turning you see daz-
zling vision of what appears to be
silver castles and courts. You look
closer, and perhaps somebody will
be kind enough to tell you that these
castles are manufactured of light
metal closely resembling silver and
that the game is composed not only
of castles, but of bastile, throne,
a forte, and a garde. The game is
a foreign invention an importation,
and is very expensive, so will be
likely to remain exclusive. 1t is in
finitely prettier, Of course, than GRO
quot, and the picture that is made
by the players, young girls in their
summer costumes, and their accom-
panying cavaliers, moving about
and in and cut of those four foot
shining castles, is quite bewildering.
1t is said to be game that is spec
tally dear to the hearts OF coquettes,
as the whole basis and detail has
the flavor of sentiment and romance
which its name-Chivalry-sug-
gests."

A Nice Little Game.

The Democratic State Central
Committee of Illinois has issued a
secret circular, signed by its chair
man, G. II. Mccormick, the reaper
manufacturer and the wealthiest
monopolist in Illinois, advising the
Democracy in that State not to run
Democratic tickets in Republican
counties, but to support the Farm
ers' grange ticket; but cautioning
them that in doing this they must
commit the Changers to the doc
trinc of free trade, so that hereafter
the voting strength of the Changers
will be available to the Democrat
lc party. There is abundant evi.
dence that the same strategy is be-
ing used in Iowa. If the Anti-Mo-
nopoly party is congratulating itself
upon absorbing and reforming the
Democracy, it is counting without
its host. The reverse is more like
ly to be the result. The Democrat-
managers hope by one years affilia-
ton with dissatisfied Republicans,
to acquire such influence over the
majority OF them as to be able to
eventually lead them like lambs in
to the Democratic camp; and in
this they are not without reason
able prospect Of success. The
Democracy Of Iowa do not design
to abandon their own organization
by any means, but rather to build
it up and strengthen it by the aid
of the new party, which they know
is necessarily ephemeral and short
lived. Thus we find no Anti Mo-
nopoly move in Democratic strong
holds, and only at rare intervals
Democratic editor gossoon enough
to cast loose from his party and
trust his shaky bark in the contrary
currents Of the new organization.
"Trop" the Des Moines cofrespon-
dent of the Dubuque Herald, writes
to that paper that the Democracy
there are "almost unanimously op-
posed to the holding of Demo
cratic State Convention this year,"
and believe it better to unite with
the Anti-Monopolists and Indepen-
dents, adding naively: "This can
be done without abandonment of
party organization, and if found de-
sirable, q conventlon can be called
at any time in the future" In 9TH
err words the Democratic pro-
gramme this year is mischief; SOW
ing the seeds of disorganization
among the Republicans, and preach
ing free trade to Republican farm
ers. Next year or the year follow
ing they fondly hope to vary it by
a Democratic victory and a harvest
of spois. The scheme is a plaus-
ible one, but lacks one element of
complete success; the consent ofthe
Republican farmers. That, we are
assured it will not have.

TIN has constantly urged as the duty
of the press and politicians of the
State, namely, the discussion of the
manner and form of the legislation
respecting railroads which the next
General Assembly will be called up

of the Homestead's plan. We are
inclined to think that the running

those operating i'll two States, like
the east and vest trunk lines in
Iowa, with their facilities for shift

one division to the other, would not
be so easy to ascertain as the Home
stead supposes; and, to estimate
what these expenses should be, as
it further suggests, would involve
the necessity Of calling in railroad
experts; which brings the Home
stead's plan around to the place from
which it started.
