A NOVEL VERDICT.-A letter from
Kansas City, Mo, relates that last week
a poor farmer Of Bates County, went in
to a grocery store in that city for the
purpose of getting some flour. He had
no money, but offered to mortgage his
team for one hundred pounds of -four.
The merchant refused to let him have
the -four without the money, whereupon
the farmer picked up the flour and put
it in his wagon and left town. The mer-
chant sued him and the jury gave their
verdict as follows: Defendant shall
have the -four for his consumption, and
the merchant shall pay the costs"

The Dubuque Herald whose
political foresight is in inverse ratio
to its general dishonesty and demo-
gogueism, the day before the meeting
of the Republican State Convention,
oracularly predicted that John H.
Gear would be nominated for Cover
nor, and that the temperance people
would gather at Des MONIES to force
the nomination of Hiram Price. Mr..
Gear was not even prominent can
didate before the Convention, and
the name of Mr.. Price was not
mentioned at all, yet the Herald
keeps right on making it's stupid
prophecys and INDUCING in all sorts
of vaporous drivel for effect. 1t is
from such far sighted organ that
the public derive the information
that the ancient Letter and the rest
of the anonymous crowd and to be
"triumphantly elected" next fall.
Drag is the game but even in this the
Herald is bungler.

The w estorn Paradise.

AS if the pictures of the grasshop-
per devastation were not sufficient
to disillusionize the most determined
western cmigrant, the following
snaky item is furnished by the Sioux
City Journal, to round up the non
alluring charms OF the region beyond
the Missouri:
The vicinity of Franklin, Nebraska,
is visited by a most loathsome plague
in the way of rattlesnakes, the whole
country being so stocked with them
that the citizens are prevented, by
fear of being bitten by them, from
attending to any matters which may
take them to localities where they
are likely to be ambushed. Within
the past few days numbers OF persons
have been bitten and great consterna.
ton prevails in the community. Two
children belonging to one family have
died from effects of bites; woman
is now lying at the point OF death,
her body being badly swollen by the
poison; and boy, named Cullen,
who went to the barn after eggs, was
bitten III the hand bya serpent coiled
up in the nest, but by the free use OF
whisky as an antidote the power OF
the virus has been overcome and he
is racOyerinO

The ChOw-ChOw Pla form

When the platform of the Demo
cratic State Convention comes to be
analysed it is found to consist simply
of two old-timc Democratic slogans:
"Frce Whisky and State Rights, and,
in all other essential declarations, of
principles borrowed from the plat
forms of the Republican party. Let
the shrewdest politician of the anony-
nous party analyze it who will, and
see if he can find that it contains any
thing clsc--that is to say, aside from
the stump speech Indictment Of the
Republican party with which it so
lamely closes.
Summarized, the platform is only
this:
Preamble-We Democrats, Liberal
Republicans and Anti-Monopolists go
to bed together, until further notice.
Anything to beat the Republican
party; anything to get the offices.
First Resolution - Jefferson and
Madison are the only men of this
country that we can think of who are
at all like us.
Second Resolution-State Rights
Third Resolution-State Rights re-
peated.
Fourth Resolution-Statc Rights
re-repeated.
Fifth Resolution-Honesty of our
kind in Office. Sample: Our Demo
cratic Government in New York City.
Sixth Resolution-All official de-
faulters and thieves to be punished.
Sample: The way we Democrats
punished our Democratic Eads for
stealing $4,000 of the Iowa School
Fund.
Seventh Resolution-Equal Rights.
A proposition fought into the laws by
the Republican party, the Democracy
opposing it stubbornly at every step.
Eighth Resolution-Rcservation Of
public lands for settlers and no more
land grants for corporations. Stolen
from Republican platforms.
Ninth Resolution-No third term.
Stolen from the Pennsylvania Repub-
licans.
Tenth Resolution-We are in favor
of specie, resumption, and we are not
in favor Of 1T. More National Bank
currency but no National Banks
Eggs without the intervention of
hens.
Eleventh Resolution Tariff for
revenue only. Stolen from Rcpubli
can platforms, as maintained in them
for several years against the idiotlc
Democratic doctrine of free trade
and direct taxation.
Twelfth Resolution Let's tlke Il
drink. Whisky straight.
Thirteenth = Let's take another
drink.
Fourteenth-An Indictment of the
Republican party for the evils it has
inflicted upon the country, but no
remedy or proposition proposed
wherewith to curb tho evil or cure
the disease.

HERE is brilliancy again. Our
ncighbor over the way says that Boss
Tweed twas released by a Reprbli.
can Judge Oh a legal technlcality,"
the inference he wishes to leave be-
ing that that Republican Judge
must take the blame for the scant
justice administered to the Tammany
thief: But, as it happens, Tweed's
bonds We're looscd by bench OF
judges, seven in number, and all but
one, Democrats. We make no
point on the political complex
ion of the Court of Appeals which
released Tweed. There is no sugges-
ton that its decision was not entirely
honest, though its soundness is doubt
ed by many able lawyers. But it is
the fact, developed by late events,
that Tweed has yet a strong hold
upon the confidence and support of
the New York Democracy, that is
significant. And now, speaking of
that, wfy Is it that the Conservative
is so extremely sensitive when any
thing is said against Tweed? Is
there not away down in its sinner
consciousness a fellow feeling for
him as distinguished and represen-
tative brother Democrat?
