The political horizon in Ohio
grows brighter for the democracy
since the nominations were made.
Republicanism, since Il merged
into Grantism, has been on the
wane in Ohio. In 1868 Grant
carried Ohio by majority of Al ,6l7.
In 1872 this majority was cut down
to 1851. In 1873 "Old Bill" Allen
wiped it out, and received as the
democratic candidate for governor
81 majority. In 1874, last year,
Governor Aliens majority was in
creased to II ,202 for the democratic
state ticket headed by William
Bell for secretary of state. Ohio
is now conceded a democratic state,
and we would not be surprised to
see Governor Aliens majority ap-
proach that of Grant at his last
election, thus completely turning
the tables.

The Indiana courts have managed
to decide the Buell-Gilbert free
love case in such a manner as to
protect the rights and interests of
the State without interfering with
the freedom of individuals. The
parties undertook to marry them
selves by written contract, contain
ing the stipulation that the mar
rage should be considered "of"
when either party became dissatis-
fed Herewith. The authorities
regarded this as a direct attempt
to deprive some attorney of his
legitimate fees in a in divorce suit,
and prosecuted the couple. The
court decides that the marriage
part of the contract is good, but
that the clause which provides for
voluntary dissolution is void. The
parties are married, therefore, as
fast as if the ceremony had been
performed by ajustice of the peace
but they have no more power to
unmarry themselves than the JUS
tice would have had if he had per-
formed the ceremony.

A Washington dispatch is au-
thority for the statement that grave
apprehensions exist in official cir
cles that unless prompt measures
are taken in regard to the continued
raids on the Texas border the
United States and Mexico may be-
come involved in serious difficult
ties. There is no doubt that the
Mexican government, as it has re-
peatedly informed our own in re-
ply to frequent protests, is anxious
for the removal of all causes that
could possibly produce a conflict
Of arms between the two countries.
But the border being far from the
capital it cannot exercise the de-
sired control over the northern
states of that republic. Two years
ago the Mexican government pro-
tested against the invasion Of its
soil by General Mckenzie in pur-
suit of Mexican raiders, but our
government could make no amends
and did not censure that officer,
considering that the pursuit was
justified by circumstances. The
army will now act promptly in
protecting American citizens, as
sisted by such naval appliances as
necessity may demand.

IL is some consolation to fruit
consumers to know that the peach
prospects are not as bad all over
as they are in Michigan. The
crop in Delaware, Maryland and
Southern New Jersey will be un-
precedently large. It is estimated
all the way from 100000 to TO-
600, 900 baskets, with the probable
ity that the larger figure is the
more correct. Growers admit that
they will have more peaches than
they will know what to do with,
and already offering to contract at
rates much below those of last sea-
son."

Crop reports continue to be OF a
conflicting nature, and to vary ac-
cording to locality. From Iowa
the intelligence is most encourage
ing-splendid crops # all kinds,
aud large increase in the average.
But the accounts of the grasshop-
pers ia Nebraska and Missouri are
doleful enough. One Of them tells
of a swarm Of locusts from 80 to

passing through the air at a speed
of Is miles an hour for 80 hours
continuously, and driving people
indoors for fear Of being smothered
to death.

The Washington Capital appears
to have taken a pretty accurate

The best that in all candor can be
said for him is that he has exposed

Rich Lands.

In this issue of THE ARGUS will be found
the advertisement of the Iowa Railroad
Land CO. This company is selling some
of the finest lands in Iowa, at prices within
the reach Of every farmer. and on the most
liberal terms, the object being to settle the
country along the Northwestern Railway.
The soil is unsurpassed, the entire country
well watered, and, where under cultivation
it comes little nearer the farmers para
disc than any other place in the world.
There are no grasshoppers, to destroy the
fruits of industry, and no fever and ague
to test the farmers christianity. The corn
crop alone, last year, in the vicinity of these
lands, sold for more than enough to pay
the cost of TIE land and all the improve
ments; wheat averaged over twenty lush
els to the acre, while barley, oats. fruit and
other crops were in proportion abundant
and profitable,

The Responsibility Admitted.

Our neighbor, still worried about the
measure of responsibility attaching to his
five friends in the city council, now says
'The Union holds the Republicans respon-
sible for what they do" Very well. The
FIVE Republican aldermen were told il
they did not approve the purchase of the
ferry boat it would be returned to Mr..
Oferman the next morning. They did
approve the purchase by all voting to pay
the bill. If they had all voted with Aid.
Atkinson, against it, the bin would have
been rejected and the boas returned the
next morning. Therefore, my friends, the
Republican aldermen are directly respon-
sible for the ferry. The Union having ad-
United the responsibility-"le; US have
peace.

The appointment OF that committee was
a direct Insult to The Republican aldermen,
not only u ignoring them entirely, but in
the secret manner in which it was appoint

The late Republican mayor 'iusulted'
the Democrats several times IN the same
way, last year, but the U,.ion did not see
any Insult" then. We are not aware of
anything in the composition of Republi,
