IOWA POLITICS.

II has lately grown into custom to
say that party platforms are of no con-
sequence, but the convention or the
party which would meet in convention
and would promulgate no platform Of
principles would receive little counten-
ance and less support from the people.
The platform may be merely form. but
it is one which cannot bc dispensed with
yet.
The platform announced by the Demo.
Gratis OF Iowa, in their State convention
on the 9th, is brief and concise, but fills
the bill perfectly. No Democrat, indie
pendent, Reformcr, Libcral-Republican
or Granger can refuse to accept and en-
dorsc the principles enunciated. They
lave the ring OF the true metal. aud
promise to inaugurate an era OF honest
reform and good government.
With this platform, the Democrats
OF Iowa ought to sweep the State
and give to it "a new political re-
gime. The ticket nominated was. for
governor, Shepard Letter, OF Des Moines;
for lictenant-governor. Capt. T.. B.
Woodward, of Lucas; for judge Of the
Supreme Court. w. j. Knight, of Du-
buque; for superintendent OF public In.
struction, A. II. Wright, OF Wright.

MARRIAGE OR WHAT?

Jared X. Buell. and Susan ID. Gilbert
entered into a contract of marriage in In
diana not long since, the marriage" be-
tween them being paper signed by both
that they would adhere to each other In
health and sickness as long as love was
mutual between them. This they be-
lieved would be always, but ii love should
cease to rule the breast of either, he or
she was to be at liberty to annul the con-
tract without regard to the wish OF the
other party. The parties have been al
raigned In the criminal court of Indian
apolis for adultery. The burden Of the
defense was that the agreement consti-
tuted legal marriage, to which the pros
ecution excepted, on the ground that the
defendant was trying to eyade the mar
riage laws of the State, and that the agree
ment or contract with Susan j. Gilbert
was null and void as legal marriage. by
reason of the provision in the second
clause OF the agreement. A decision has
not yet been rendered.

Hon. II. Casey Young. The procession
was compose of members Of the General
Council. Police, Chickasaw Guards, and
Tenplar Guards. He was escorted to
the Peabody Hotel, where an address Of
welcome was delivered by Mayor League.
In his reply. Gen. Banks said that Ten
nessee occupied a warm place In the
hearts Of the people OF all sections of the
country; that there was something
either in the situation, or In her people.
or In her traditions that had drawn her
to the hearts of the people Of the country;
that she had given to the republic three
presidents, all of whom discharged their
duties nobly, and would be remembered
with honor: that Tennessee would al
ways maintain her high place in the af-
fcctions Of the people. and that the rcpu-
tation and character she now has will
last forever. The reception given TO
such distinguished Northern men as
General Banks and Vicc.President
Wilson is an evidence tina. the bitter feel
ings engendered by the war have passed
away, and that the veterans Of
the South are ready to man
batteries on the banks Of the Mississippi
to repel an invading foe. But a few
weeks ago the soldiers OF both sections
made covenant of love and unity over
the graves of the dead who once wore
the blue and the gray, and to-day the
people of Memphis honor and .ttte one of
the prominent generals who waged war

CORREsPONDENTs.

The average occasional newspaper cor

idle indulgence in political platitudes and
supcrflucties. fan adhcrent of either

with wilderness OF words and an elab-

LABOR THE REST CHARITY.

The completion of DR.. Halls church
in New York lately, a pile of architecture
into which was put million of dollars
by the congregation and admirers of DIR.
Hall, has given rise to some criticism as
to the wisdom and the Christianity of
erecting such building for church pur-
poses. An exchange, in commenting on
church. moralizes on the Inconsistency
of the Christian world which spends SO
much money for adornment, for stained
windows. for fine upholstery, for paint
and varnish and stucco,-when so many
human beings are needing bread. If
the million dollars had been spent
In charity, in warming the cold, feeding
the hungry and clothing the naked, the en-
pcnditure would have been nearer the
Bible idea of Christianity arcr the re-
ligion of Jesus Christ.
This sort Of cant, for cant it is. is 80
common that it passe, for truth. But is
it true. and if the congregation of DR.
Hall had built a plain md substantial
building, say, for instance, worth twenty
five or thirty thousand dollars, i. It more
probable that the other nlre hundred
thousand dollars and over woull have
been poured out as charity to warm and
clothe and feed the poor, than that it would
have remained fast in the pockets efthc
Christian members of DR.. Halls coh;rc.
