high arch bearing the motto, .By
Industry We Thrive There were
many specimens Of painting, sketch
ing, and photographing, among them
was the "Sport in Kansas" comically
representing boy shooting "huge"
grasshoppers of the fence. The
highest prize was $40 steel engrav-
ing, awarded for drawing OF the
4th ward school building, by girl
10 years Of age. The theological
map Of Iowa." the aRock Strata Of
Iowa." and the ornamental lettering
of "School course Of Study" were Of
special merit. 1t is said that there
were nearly 1000 articles on exhibit
ton. In the evening occurred the
ice-cream and strawberry festival.
The Hall was most uncomfortably
crowded. The scholars waiting on
the tables were dresse d in costume
representing Jews, Gypsies, Quakers,
Indians, and different nationalitics.
The cart Gallery" full-of curiosi-
ties, created the chief attraction of
the evening. Thus closed the
School Exposition, universally pro-
nounced complete success.
But we asked, did not the prepare
ton of such an industrial affair cause
neglect Of studies, a lack of interest
in the regular school work? Such,
we found, was not the case, because,
the school work was brought in as a
prominent part Of the Exposition.
The result was regular attendance till
the close of school, and the presenta-
ton Of better papers than at any
previous examination.
Very Respectfully,
w. Fl. ROBERTSON.

THE several members of the great
importing house of H. B. Claflin q
Co., of New Y ork, have been indicted
for purchasing silks that they knew
had been Struggled. Whereupon, as
we learn by a special dispatch to the
Chicago Tribune, the merchants of
New York are expressing "great in
dignation" that such distinguished
members OF their guild should be
made to feel the restraints of the law
like common offenders. These are
the men who were SO indignant"
over the prosecution of Phelps Dodge
& Co., for swindling the revenue
Notwithstanding their august wrath
the government should, and doubtless
will, try Clafin & Co., and if the
charge is established, punish them
with the same severity melted out to
less distinguished offenders.

about forty miles in length, and ten

fields are left as bare as the highway.
The country between Nicola and the

time the insects alighted they were
travelling northward. Our dispatches
state that they are covered with the

is the only good news connected
with the terrible visitation.

The Prohibitionists.

Rev. Emory Miller, of Clinton,
one of the ablest leaders of the radi-
cal temperance cause, has written the
following letter to the Herald, of
that place, embodying the sentiments
of those he represents, and defining
their attitude toward existing parties.
There are very many Republicans
who will find nothing repugnant or
unreasonable in the views expressed
by Mr.. Miller:
Ed. HERALD Against a minority re-
port that sought to commit the National
Temperance Convention at Chicago to a
separate political party, the majority sue
ceeded in passing resolution that de.
clared that We will support only such men
and parties as will sustain prohibition,
unless existing parties compel us to leave
them by compromising with the liquor
interest. Nothing therefore will give rise
to third party until the existing parties
commit themselves to the enemy as did
the old Wing and Democratic parties to
the aggression Of slavery Such move
ment will necessitate reform party just
as the organization Of the Republican
party became necessity.
Temperance men of Iowa prefer to con
tinue with the Republican party as their
party of reform; theirs by many dear as
sociations, though frequently betrayed in
the past by individual trimmers and trick.
sters. That we may be well understood,
let it be stated, first, rhat zoe do not ask:
We do not ask that prohibrory plank
be put into the Republican PLATFORM
This for many reasons. What zoe do ask
Is. f3rst, that the platform shall give no
encouragement to license or free whisky
and, secondly, that temperance men be
put on the ticket

The Cedar Falls Gazette calls at
tention to fact of special signifi-
canoe in connection with the present
Republican campaign in this State.
8 It says:
3 There never was time in the history
of the Republican party of the State when
there was such evidence of lack of log
rolling or wire-pulling for candidates
The united voice seems to be in favor of
the best men for the offices, on the 30th of
the month"
It might be added with truth that
this absence of log rolling is not the
result of apathy. Never have the
Republicans of Iowa been more con-
fident or determined to win a great
victory,

The warfare between the factions
in the Episcopal Church of this State,
in favor of and opposed to the newly
elected Bishop, DR.. Eccleston, is be-
ing waged with a disregard of COM
mon, not to say christian, courtesy,
recklessness of appearances, and in
some instances with resort to false
hood and trickery, usually confined
and there dlsgraceful-to the po-
litical arena. The origin of this dis
reputable controversy is easily traced.
1t is notorious fact that the Church
was unfortunately, even scandalously,
represented by some of the delegates
to the late convention; and this as
much in the character as in the action
of the parties referred to. 1t makes
no difference that they were in the
minority; their influence was appar-
ent, and their appearance in repre-
sentative capacity in this ecclesiasti-
cal body was not only very unseemly,
but an invitation to practice
the chicanery inherent in their ma
lures. There are in the Episcopal
church Of Iowa as exemplary, God
fearing and truly religious men as in
any other church organization. They
should in all cases represent it, and
especially in SO important matter as
the election of a Bishop.
