htals. while our forces stood still ID their
harness and rocked not how the battle
was being wagcd. This will not be the
case during the present canvass. There
are many sensible men-thinking men of
The COMMUNICATIVE voted the so-cailcd
T;horal ticket last fall who have seen the
mistake they made, and like honest, cares
ful thinkers, are with us once again. -
We believe what we say, and We feel that
when the relative positions OF the twopar-
ties now on the boards are fairly ventilated
there are many more now wavering
who will fall into line with US as of
old, while the discontinued, sorehead de-
sertcrs, whose ambitious personal expect
atoms have not been realized, within the
pales Of the Republican party, will cling
to the new flag with death grip, and by
their consolidated, spasmodic efforts, con-
troll small portion of the voters of our
county, who formerly trained with US in
the straight path, and with the false cry
of their political name they will, perhaps,
poll respectable minority vote next fall
This is our faith and belief in the poit-
zeal integrity of the voters of Tama Coun-
ty, and though OFT opponents may charge
us with false prophesy, we think that the
political outlook of our County bears us
out in our convictions, and the October
election will be the convincing proof that
we are right.
We shall have occasion to speak of our
candidates-thcir merits, claims, &c.-at
no distant day-believing that we have
good ticket in the field, and feeling that
we can heartily recommend it to the peo-
pie for their suf1rages without single ex-
ccption.

sit Won't VIM,

The MdepehdeAt in an article entitled
1T Won't VIM" says that "the day has
passed when personal abuse, the calling
of pet political names, &c, was reasona-
bly, certain to assist in political victory"
AL indeed Well, we think the hide
PenaeM about right, for it is matter of
history, that the old party to which the
name "AntiMonopoly" is but bare COW
or, was ousted years ago while noted
for just that kind Of thing. And our OBJ
servation teaches US that no set Of men
or party can begin to cope with that same
old party in personal abuse, pet names"
&c, and also that it is noted fact that they
have never regained the position they
once occupied. My Friend, would it not
be well for you to compare notes with
your brother editors before you advance
such IDEAS? II you would do so, perhaps
such a theory would not be by you adj
vanccd We note quite large number
of instances in the very issue in which
1T Won't VIM appears where those
''pct-names" and personal abuse" are
resorted to- Stuff; nonsense. One might
as well expect an ignorant Musquakee to
explain the workings Of the Comet Cog
gia" in the Solar System as to expect our
opponents 10 run the engincry Of po-
litical campaign without resorting to per

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK IN TAMA
COUNTY.

It may now be said that the politica
canvass for the October election is fairly
inaugurated in our County, although dur
ing the heated term there will probably
not be much effort on the part of either of
the political organizations to canvass
other than through the columns of the
different newspapers; but we may reason
ably expect thorough canvass on the
rostrum when once begun in earnest, as
it seems to be the disposition of all parties
concerned to not allow the coming election
to go by default Again, the present po-
litical contest in Tama County, as well as
in our District and State at large, is
by far the most important of any of the
off year elections.
It behooves all candid, fair minded and
thinking citizens to carefully consider the
questions now before them to decide at
the coming October election, to note the
position occupied by the two parties, and
see that their interest In common with
the masses is not allowed to suffer for
want Of proper attention and careful con-
sideration. We, as Republicans, feel that
we are in the right, and we believe that a
majority of the citizens Of our County are
with us in that feeling, and will SO mani
fest it at the polls when the proper time
arrives.
The enemy have thoroughly organized
in war harness and threaten us with utter
destruction through their organs, the In
dependent and Press-and judging from
the initiatory steps taken by those organs
since the nominations have been made,
we may expect repetition Of the person

composed Of short, spicy, pungent para

like all other physicians, he is regarded by
some as good doctor and safe authority,

Of faith in many Of his ideas, and believe
if they were lived up to more we would
have better, happier. and healthier class

The womcn's crusade against the sa-
looms may not have p~sduced all the re-
suits which its friends hoped for, but it
has nevertheless been fruitful of results.
California has adopted a local option law,
and Mississippi has enacted very strin-
gent license system. 4 few years ago
repressivc legislation would have been
impossible in either Of these two States.
But it is not in this country alone that
the temperance movement, to which the
Ohio crusaders have given such an inn
pulse during the last five or six months,
is making its way. In England, the agi-
tation over this veXed question of morals
and law has been brought more promi-
ncntly before the public BY the large share
of attention it has occupied in America,
and the zeal of our Western women seems
to have infected the friends of temper
ance on tho other side Of the Atlantic,
and stimulated to energetic action. The
House of Commons has been considering
a license bill for the last two months, and
finally adopted the government PROPOSE
ton to regulate public houses, which re-
stricts the keeping open of these places
until half an hour after midnight.-Inter

Perfect Home.

The most perfect home I ever saw
was a little house into the sweet in
cense of whose fires went not costly
things. $1,000 served as a years
living of father, mother and three
children. But the mother was the
creator of home; her relations with
her children were the most beautiful
1 have ever seen; even the dull and
commonplace man was lifted up and
enabled to do good work for souls by
the atmosphere which this woman
created; every inmate of her house
involuntarily looked into her face for
the keynote of the day, and it always
rang clear. From the rosebud or clo-
yer leaf, which, in spite of her hard
housework, she always found to put
by our plates at breakfast, down to
the story she had on hand to be read
in the evening, there was no inter
mission OF her influence. She has
always been and always will be my
ideal of mother, wife, and a home
maker. If to her quick brain, loving
heart, and exquisite face had been
added the appliance Of wealth and
the enlargement of wider culture
hers would have been absolutely the
ideal home. AS it was it was the
best / have ever seen.-HeleR Hunt
