A MICHIGAN COLONY IN FRANK
LIN AND COFFEE COUNTIES.
Winche-ter Home Journal.

We learn that a party Of Michiganders
have purchased large quantity of land in
the northern part Of this and Coffee ooun-
ties, in the neighborhood OF Mr.. VIM. Hart,
and they viii move their families down
between this and spring. They propose to
establish colony, and in order thereto will
want TO purchase about 10000 acres more
land. We hail this movement from the
icy regions Of the North to our mild and
sunny South as the precursor of a.heaEy and
constant Influx Of men who are not afraid
or ashamed to do manual labor for their
bread--Of men who will do something to-
wards showing of what our soil and climate
are capable.

SPAIN.

MADRID, Dec. 24.-The Spanish Com
missioners to the Philadelphia Centennial
Exhibition met to-day. Senor CASTELAR,
made an eloquent address. He cited the
rise and progress Of the United States and
the ideas Of liberty and labor which pre-
vailed there. He found in American civil
iEation, language and arts traces Of Spanish
origin, which time and ingratitude were
unable TO eradicate.

The next attempt at an affirmative poll
cy on the part of the Republicans, and
thus to save their party, will be an effort
to pass the Civil Rights bill Immediately
after the Christmas vacation. Mr.. Beck
served a notice on the Republicans ye>ter-
day in the House that the bill could not be
passed at this session; and well-informed
Republicans say the same thing. BecN's
prophecy depends a good deal on whether
all the Democrats shall b. steadily found
in their places; and if the Democratic pa
pens of the country were possessed Of Ordi-
nary intelligence, they conld and would
break mp the system of Democratic ab-
senteeism, which alone gives the oppcrtu-
nity 10 pass such measures. This evil of
Democratic absenteeism has been running
on for six years, and no effort has been
made by the pIeSs TO check it. 1t is said
that a two-thirds vote is now absolutely
necessary to pass the Civil Rights bill.

4 Word to Changers.

i We copy the following sensible and ap-
propriate remarks from the Sioux City
Journal:
The time is approaching for the fall
elections. Beware, farmers, how you let
your votes go. The franchise is one of
our greatest privileges. Before you exer-
else that right, ask who are the men for
whom you are voting. The men who are
seeking to get your support by crying
down with this class of men and down
with that, are not always the men to tie
to by any means. Beware how you allow
the old Democratic element to lead you
by the nose until they have secured posi-
lions of trust, and then show you how
badly you are sold; for just as sure as you
give them an inch, they will take rod.
They will leave no stone unturned nor
means untried to obtain their wishes, as
the past shows too plainly First see
them As Copperheads, opposing the war;
then g Liberals, mixing with dissatisfied
republicans, and now whipping up the
Changers In order to accomplish their
ends. Brother 0rangers, think the mat
YER over In time, and before you vote for
any man be sure that his record j. clear.

Granny Wilkinson the Anti Monopoly
Candidate for Congress from this District
although not generally noted for his
truthfulness, and candor, will tell the
truth occasionally by way Of a change.
He has recently been guilty Of defining
his correct position in the political contest
at hand, to the farmers in johnson county,
if we may believe the Anamosa Journal
an Anti Monop organ Of that county.
They quote his lines as follows where he
speaks of himself.
Il am clod-hopper, but am put in a
forward position, not through merit of
my own, but because this organization
(the Grange) has been at work and the
politicians dare not put any other man
there"
By referring to Webster we find that a
clod- hopper is "a rude, rustic fellow" a
clown; a dolt; pumpkin The same
author defines dolt to be-'A heavy
stupid fellow; a Ounce; dullard; an
ass I'VE don't wish to quarrel with
Wilk. about this able and true descrip
ton of himself from his own lips, hence
we heartily concur, inasmuch as we give
him credit for having done his subject

We clip the following from the Burning
con Haseksys which shows up John Irish
the immaculate in his true light. Il
explains itself.
Strsws show the direction of the wind
Chairman Neidig passed the delegates
70 the late Republican State Convention
home free over the railways.
The Anti-Monopolists paid their full
fare both ways.
A little fact like this outweighs ten
thousand campaign fictions
The people see it.
John p. Irish, in State Press
The inference intended to be drawn
from the above is that the Republicans
having succeeded in getting convention
rates over some of the railroads, are under
obligations to those corporations. Irish
touches the matter mildly, and we think
we know the reason why. Last winter
when Legislative Committee was ap-
pointed to visit the State University, at
Iowa City, Mr. Irish and delegation of
citizens from Iowa City, left their homes
and went to Des Moines to meet the Com
mittee and escort them to the first named
place. Instead Of letting this committee
buy their own tickets Mr.. Irish and his
companions purchased tickets for them,
and when they arrived at Iowa City the
committee were marched off to banquet
hall to a feast that had been prepared by
the people. Now we contend that this
was ten times more Objectionable than for
legislator to accept pass from rail-
road company. This committee was APP
pointed for a special work, to investigate
and make report upon the condition Of a
State Institution, and yet we find MIR. Irish
and other citizens interested in having the
committee make a favorable report, doing
that which MIR. Irish now thinks ''out-
weighs ten thousand campaign fictions."
There is much Of the indignation express
ed against railroads granting passes and
parties accepting them that is downright
demagoguery, and, as was the case with
wish to accomplish anything they act very
much as railroad company acts.
The Marshall Republican speaks as fol-
lows concerning the same matter:
1t Is notorious that John Irish was never
known to pay railroad fare on any oc,a-
sion; and it Is absurd for him to say that
he or Stone or any other delegate to the
Autobiography State Convention would
refuse reduced rates if they could get
them. An Autobiography ''reformer," who
happened to be at Des MOines at the time
of the Republican Convention applied to
the Chairman Of the Republican Central
Committee for a certificate that would
entitle him to reduced rates on the B., c.
r. & M. Railway, which passes through
the neighborhood in which he lives. He
was delegate to the Anti Monopoly State
Convention, and from il went West, but
returned in time to strike the Republican
Convention just right; but unfortunately
for lin, he didn't find the Republican
Chairman in inst the right kind Of mood
to give him pass. He was one Anti
Monopolists at least tina. paid full fare.
"A little fact like this" &c.
