ANTi.MONOP, OR DEMOCRAT

1t has been an open question for
some time whether the Democrats
of Iowa have given up their old time
principles and joined in with the
others in making up new party
with new set of principles, or
whether the Democrats have stood
still and allured unsuspecting Re-
publicans into their camp under the
cover of the same old flag. In Har
din county, few weeks ago, the
question was brought to settle
ment. 1t occurred in the Anti-Mo-
nopoly County Convention, called to
select delegates to the Anti. Monopo.
ly State Convention. The two wheel
horses of the Democratic party in
that county have long been Colonel
d. F. Ellsworth and Judge J. D.
Thompson, both of the gentleman be-
ing known, and very favorably
known, over the whole State. When
the list of delegates to the State
Convention was brought in, the
names ofthese two gentlemen were
included among the rest, of course
as they always have been in every
real or assumed Democratic Con
vention which Hardin County has
had. The editor of the Reform
Herald, paper published at Eldora
himself an estrayed Republican, con
cluded he would have the Colonel's
and the Judges names eliminated as
being too Democratic. He made a
motion to that effect. This brought
the thing to square issue, whether
or not confirmed and unrenounced
Democracy was a bar to the eligibil.
ity of an Anti-Monopoly delegate.
Col. Ellsworth, who was promi-
nent politician, of State reputation
and National standing, before the
editor Of the conundrum journal was
old enough to know one polite fro m
another, took the floor, and made the
fur fly from the young mans motion
IN the following fashion:

| tion, but it is not in the power of mortals

this, my friend Greer thinks me criminal.
But, sir, Mr.. Chairman, can assure you,

ruption, and to break down the Republi-
can party, and to censure the office-

And watch the swallows wnging swiftly by
TO find their food as low they circling fly.
Close to the earth in constant search they go
To pick their food from off the ground below,
Then to their happy caves go winging slow.
From all things else of earth their thoughts
are pent, s
And tward the ground their cleaning eyes
are bent,
And on the search is all their life intent.
Thus willing they forego a Summer sky,
And to the earth at ev'ning time draw nigh,
And find their food as low they circling fly.
Were they to soar, and things Of earth to shun,
Aud strive for naught but star, or moon, or
sun,
'Twpuld be to miss their food as day Is done.
Abthus, my heart, the good, the food Of life,
Is(found not in the days great noise and strife,
Nor where the i'll of man is aye at rife;
But in the twilight moments it we find.
When thoughts of home and love steal DER

And to the earth the mystic heart-strings bind.
1t is not best the bright alone to prize,
Nor shun the earth to seek but golden skies
AS well might swallows miss the ir food to rise.

WASHINGTON, April "a.
Senator Jones surprised the Senate
yesterday by his speech against infa-
ton. 1t evinced great ability, which
# unselfshly devoted to the honest
public interests, would make him a
reputation more enduring than riches.
The prospect of extreme imitation is
receding in the Senate. It is now
doubtful whether they can carry their
free banking bill on final vote.
Senator Thurman, of the Senate
Committee on Private Land Claims,
says the committee will report ad-
versely on the bill proposing to con-
firm to the st. James Catholic Mission

testified that the money paid to Dis

to owning property in the eastern part
of the city which was assessed to the
value of $1,000, on which the taxes,
including special assessments, were

A Remarkable Incident.

The Marysville appeal of March 2sth
gives this incident:
In an item published on the Goth
instant, we stated that during thun-
der-storm which occur red about TWEEN
ty miles north Of this city on the 10th
instant, large number Of wild geese
were killed. The statement of our in
formant was so remarkable that we
gave it but little credence, and de-
clined to publish it at all. But the
following from the Suffer Banner con-
firms the remarkable incident: "First,
a small amount of common hail, and
then followed sufficient snow to whiten
the ground. AS the hail began to fall
and the lightning flashed, thousands
of wild geese, which were in the ponds
of shallow water which exist in that
locality during the wet Winters, sud-
denly rose up in a great futter, as if
many hunters had discharged vollsy
among them. They went up and up,
apparently to rise above the fearful
cloud. TWAS nearly dark, and those
who saw them rise thought no more of
it until morning, when they began to
find dead geese, and hear oil. hundreds
being picked up by the neighbors.
Some seven hundred had been found.
One man picked up on his farm all
two horses could haul, for their feath-
ers. Their heads were badly torn and
their bills split into fragments. Many
of them had the feathers of their backs
crisped and burned and their bodies
bursted open. The portion of country
thus affected was about a mile and a
half wide, and reached several miles
into Butte county," The vivid light
ming was remarked by number soi
people in this city, and all remember
the heavy rains which fell soon after,
which occurred on the evening of the
late city election. nr vgu-y,

The Catholic Archbishop, Purcell,
has lately given expression to his
views on the temperance question of
the day. In brief, he inculcates mod
Grafton, and although he favors total
abstinence for those who cannot re-
frain from drinking too much when
they drink any, he still recognizes the
existence of certain circumstances UNI
der which reasonable indulgence may
be not only proper, but beneficial. He
considers licensing better than prohibit
ton; and the shutting up by law of vile
bar-rooms where bad liquor is sold is,
in his opinion, the best remedy for the
great evil, whose effects are so gener-
ally deplored.- Union. ~
