tion, and retaining the relation Of a colony
of the mother country. If either party
decline to accept this scheme, the action o.
Great Britain, France, and Russia in regard
to the Greek revolution in 1927 will be the
model for our next proceeding. In that
case the allied powers, justifying their
course by regard for the interests of hu-
manity and religion and the safety ol
commerce, offered mediation to the Porte
and demanded an armistice pending
negotiations. Greece accepted; Tur-
key declined; and thereupen the al
lied squadrons attacked and destroyed
the Turkish feet in the Bay Of Navarine,
a French force occupied the Morea, and
the independence Of Greece was estab.
lished. To all intens and purposes
therefore, though not in name, this
was intervention in aid of the Greeks, and
if we interfere in Cuba it can only be in
the same way, by an attack upon the
Spaniards that is by practically declaring
war in behalf Of the insurgents Of Cuba.
Whether the American people will sus-
tain the President in such course is cx-
tremely doubtful. The provocation is not
by any means SO great as it was in the case
Of Greece. The Greeks were Christian
people struggling to free themselves from
a Mohammedan tyrany much worse than
the rule Of the Spaniard in the Antilles;
The war Was attended by unhsard
IF atrocities; and the action Of
he great powers "rescued a whole
nation not merely from religious persecu-
ion, but from the crrel alternative Of be-
ing transported from their native land
into Egyptian bondage or exterminated
by their merciless oppressors." The di.
emma Of Cuba is by no means SO bad as
hat of Greece was in 1927; and though it
! possible that we might be justified in
it is certainly not our moral
uty to do SO, and the policy of such a
proceeding is very far from clear.
The President strongly hinted in his :
lessage that if he acted at all it would be ,
ointly with other powers, an an article
'hich we cite from L'Ayenir National {
ives some reason to believe that these
overs are France and England, 1twould
e premature to discuss the possible results s

Unknown, but the people will look with s
reat suspicion upon any convention OF n

Interference in the affairs of this CONT
ent. An aversion to alliances with for I

the Republic, and when the object of :
lance is to permil a European power to n
lape the destiny of Cuba, The repugnance te
the people will be immeasurably in n

Too Big for His Business.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Inter Ocean relates the following
ludicrous incident in connection with
the removal of the soldier employees
of the House:
"During the sessions of Congress
every day flag floats over the House
wing and another over the Senate
chamber - upon adjournment each
afternoon it is hauled down. This
has been for several years the duty
of an old Union soldier. But the
unceremonious dismissal of the loyal
veterans to make places for the ex-
Confederates left the poor old cripple
out of a job, and the tagging busl-
ness was placed by the late Sergeant
alarms Of the late Congress of the
Southern Confederacy in charge of a
new appointee-a great man by the
way-so great that his proportions
cannot be squeezed through the scut-
tle-hole in the roof, through which
the flagstaff is reached. The man is
too great for his place; he super
abounds. This is a surplus hereto
fore not counted upon by economists.
He might resign or die, but refuses
to do either. But he TANKS the diff
Guilty by drawing 800 a month for
his salary, and paying colored boy
a nickel each day to hoist the nation
al emblem"

it Is unoflicially stated that Presl-
dent Grant, on Friday evening last,
allowed himself to become party to a
fraud Of the very smallest description ;
that, in point of fact, he furnished
money wherewith was bought a
speckled rocking-horse, constructed
in bold defiance Of all natural appear
ances, which article certain relatives
of his rung in on his infant grandson
as a beast of flesh and blood. And
yet worse; that he himself bought
and presented to tina. unsophisticated
little person rubber ring whereon to
chew in the miserable belief that he
could extract nutriment therefrom.-
Honest men will hope these rumors
are unfounded. Democrats will credit
them at once, and see in them only
another reason added to the many
equally valid ones why the Republi-
can party should be made to yield up
the reigns of government. The
Presidents friends will no doubt en-
deavor to clear the matter up by as
serting that the child being in Eng
land, the whole story is palpably
false; but the interposition of the
Atlantic Ocean is too thin, and no
real Democrat will swallow it

The character of the comments in
dulged in by some of the Democratic
papers regarding Speaker Kerr's
selections for the House committees,
is the reverse of courteous or compli-
mcntary. For instance, the Cincin-
natl Enquirer alludes to Morrison,
chairman of the Ways and Means
committee, and by virtue thereof a
leader of the party on the floor of the
House, as "a brawling, empty-headed,
unknown village politician of Wa
terloo, ILL.," Gracious! we hope our
member will not attract the attention
of that ink-slinger. But perhaps he
has no antipathy to village politici-
ans as 4 class.

Making the interesting jester, J.
Proctor Knott, Chairman of the
Judiciary Committee, is considered
at Washington the best joke there
has or can be this season. Indignant
Democrats say it brings the whole
business Of the Speakers naming
committees into ridicule. If Mark
Twain, or Altemus Ward, or Petro-
leum V. Nasty had been announced
instead, there would have been no
more evidence Of the unttness of the
selection. Mr.. Knott's friends declare
that he is . very able lawyer, but the
fact remains that he will never take
the floor, even on the gravest and
most important legal questions, that
the House will not break out in
a smoker, expecting of course, a
line of remark and joke worthy of
comic almanac. 1t does not make
the matter better to reflect that Sayler
of Ohio, and several very prominent
Eastern lawyers were considered and
dropped in succession for Knott, be-
cause it was deemed policy to give
this committee to the South, in view
of the reconstruction measure. 1t
had suffered heretofore at the hands
of this committee.-Stote Register.

REFERRING to the statement OF the
Council Bluffs Globe, that Gov. Kirk
wood. is pledged to appoint J. N.
Rogers, of Davenport, to the vacancy
on the Supreme bench, the Dubuque
Times says: eve wouldn't be afraid
to wager the remainder OF our Christ
mas dinner that the Governor doesn't
himself know who will be or is likely
to be appointed" 1t would be inter-
esting to know. how much of that
Christmas dinner was left when the
Globe got ready to accept the wager.

A Washington letter-writcr S

"A washington lettcr-Wrltcr says:
The House Democrats are not feel
ing quite so happy over Springer's
third-term resolution as they did at
one time. On looking over the mat
ter they began to see that it was a
blunder on their part, for the cry, the
bugbear Of "third term" is at an end.
Whatever Gen. Grant may propose
after such vote as this, no sane man
can charg such a purpo e on the
Republican party. The prominent
Republicans of the House are glad
that the vote is taken, and some OF
the most acute Democrats confess
that it was a mistake to press a vote
on the subject, for they admit that
they would rather have Gen. Grant
run than almost any other Republi-
can, and yet they have done what
they could to run him off the track,
and make Bristow, Blaine, or Wash
burn possible. The scene of the vote
was greatly overdrawn by some of
the correspondents. Doubtless there
were a dozen Republicans present
whose personal relations with Gen.
Grant are such that they disliked to
vote on the resolution, tive-sixths Of
those in the House were greatly
pleased that vote was forced by
their enemies. was on the floor at
the time, and happened to know the
sentiments Of many Republicans.
And, the next day, everybody on that
side was glad. Blaine and Garfield
and Wheeler and others, rejoice that
an unpleasant subject has been
preached, and dismissed for the ses-
sion. No longer can the Democrats
cry to frighten anybody with the cry
of "third term!" And they have
helped to put a strong man in nom
ination for the IA 20 Of 1876.

TIE Democratic Majority III Con-
gress, a few days ago, with great
flourish, introduced and pass I'd res
olution declaring their inHexible hos
tility to government subsidies to
railroads, &c. Just what this bun
combc amounts to may be inferred
from the fact that Southern journals
are rejoicing over the composition of
Mr.. Kerr's Pacific Railroad Commit
tee, as favorable to Tom SCOTS South
crn Pacific subsidy scheme, saying
the selections meet the entire and
cordial approval of that distinguish
ed individual. Further, Mr.. Kerr
docs not only not deny that the COM
mittee was pufposely made up to be
favorable to Tom SCOTS project, but
attempts to justify it.

SOME OF the leading journals in the
State are discussing the propriety OF
abolishing the Medical Department
of the State University, the express
sion of opining relating thereto hav-
ing been called out by certain rabid
utterances of John Irish in opposi-
ton 10 the establishment of Chair
OF Homeopathy. The Gate City says:
"There is growing up a discussion
as to the propriety Of setting up a
Chair of Homeopathy in the State
University. Mr.. 1rish's .sta'e Press
rejects the claim contempJuously.-
According to him Allopathy is the
only pathy that has a right to be
maintained at the expense OF the
State. We think it very probable
that Homeopathy has no right to ask
that the State shall teach it. But it
is also perfectly clear that Allopathy
has no more right to ask that the
State shall teach 1t. We never ex.
pect to change from our position,
that it is not the business of the State
to give any man profession at the
public expense"
Referring to the same matter, the
Sioux City journal says:
"The State Register, commenting
upon this matter, is inclined to the
opinion that it would be we'll for the
State of Iowa to go out of the pill
and doctor making business altogeth-
err. One thing is certain, the State
of Iowa cannot afford chair for
every ism that exists in medicine, and
if there is no such thing as the science
of medicine separate from these isms,
why then the State of Iowa, as the
Register suggests, had better with.
draw from the pill business.

THERE is striking similitude between
the BULLETIN and President Grant
Neither of them like the New York Sun.
1t Is hard on the Sun, to say the least
Conservative.
Just so; and there is striking CO.
incidence in the opinions of the Pres
ident and BULLETIN on this subject
with those held by all other decent
people when they are candid enough
to express them. The Conservative,
aspiring to be a disciple of the Sun,
is not expected to coincide with the
general estimate of it, of course.

FIFTEEN States have taken census
of population III 1875, and the total
increase since 1870 Is estimated at a
little over 100000. AS these States
had in 1870 something more than
one-third OF the population Of the
United States, common average
progress throughout would show an
aggregae increase in five years Of up
ward of 100000, or a total popula-
ton of 44,OOO,O00,O00.

Stop That Cough:

The wonderful results ana immense sale
of HALE's COUan CORDIAL the past season,
ought to convince the most skeptical; still
we are going to continue the same liberal
offer that we have hitherto, viz: Any per-
son suffering with cold. cough or sore
throat, who will Call at Tabor & Sons or
any other drug store and purchase bottle
of HALE's Couch CORDIAL, use onc-half
of it, and if they then conclude that 1t is
doing them no good, they can return the
balance and receive back their money
Who would not test this medicine on such
liberal terms? No medicine ever sold in
this vicinity that produced such wonderful
results. All We ask is that you will try it.

If Grant don't receive the nomination
for third term, the Dubuque Herald
ought to occupy is entire space for six
months in retraction of the falsehoods of
its Washington correspondent.-Clinton

The Dubuque Herald does not
waste any of its valuable time in that
way. If it should start out to take
back all the falsehoods it has pub
lished, it's news columns would be
very meager for the next ten years.

THE Sioux City Journal treats
with q sniff OF contcmptuous incred-
ulity our statement that Mr.. Ans
worth was elected to Congress upon
the express understanding that he
was neither Republican or Demo-
crat. 1t says:
However it may be in the Third Dis
trict, we are quite sure that in the State at
large it is understood that Mr.. Ainsworth
was elected as true-blue Democrat, and
that it has been the expectation from the
first that with the Democrats he would
stand. Those who have thought differ
emily are not entitled to even Republican
sympathy, broad as 1t is.'
With all due Difference to the SUI
perior knowledge of our contemporary,
we would suggest that, with regard
to our assertion, it does not make
any difference what was the under
standing or expectation in the State
at large. The voting tor Mr.. Aims
worth was done in this district, and
here everybody of intelligence knows
that the idea was held out that Aims
worth would not affiliate with either
of the old parties, and on that under
standing he secured his election. He
was always alluded to as a represen-
tative of the new party of "reform,"
and, except the Dubuque Herald, the
newspaper organs of the opposition
stoutly lepudiated the idea that he
was a Democrat. The ambiguity
and double dealing of Mr.. Ainsworth
himself in his speaking campaign
served to strengthen this impression.
He was Democrat in Dubuque, but
an Anti-Monopolist everywhere else.
We have wasted no sympathy on
the Republicans who were by these
representations beguiled to vote for a
Bourbon for Congress, but thought it
appropriate to point out to them the
proofs that they were taken in. Has
the Journal any objection to this?

TIE Burlington Tribune, the lead
ing German daily of the State, is out
for Hiram Price for Senator. In an
able and candid article upon the sit
uation it gives its reason for its faith.
1t says that up to the State Conven-
ton, Kirkwood was its choice, but
now it prefers that he should serve
the State as Governor; it pays COM
pliment to the character and reputa-
ton of Gen. Belknap, but does not
want him for Senator, and declares
that it would not accept Harlan under
any circumstances. In referring to
Mr.. Price it is not unmindful of his
temperance views, and the antagon-
ism toward them by the Germans,
but it says the case must be viewed
in broader light Of Mr.. Price it
says:
"He belongs, pre-eminently, to a
very peculiar American class, a highly
interesting study for the psychologist
in which fanaticism and sagacity are
combined; idealism and practically,
a dreaming fancy and an iron energy.
In a word, this man is made of the
stuff with which Oliver Cromwell
shattered the English monarchy
Where he is well known, this charac-
teristic is fully recognized. The Sec
ond district elected him three times
to Congress, and we can scarcely
doubt that if it were left to the vote
of the people Of Scott county to-day,
he would be sure of majority for
the Senatorship, Notwithstanding the
fact that the opposition to the Repub.
lican party seems to be all powerful
in that county, and notwithstanding
the signal defeat of the party tor the
State Legislature"
1t is high compliment to MIR.
Price that the representative OF an
element to whom he is supposed
to be particularly repugnant on ac-
count of his temperance views, should
thus cast aside its preiudices and pay
willing tribute to his sturdy integrity
and high principle.
