The reputation of the Dubuque
Herald for dishonest partisanship
and utter disregard for truth and
candor is well established. A fresh
illustration of its characteristics in
this regard occurs in an editorial, in
It's issue of Wednesday, referring TO
the successful campaign OF the gov.
eminent officials against the whisky
frauds in st. Louis. 1t says:
The cesspool at St. Louis is overflow
ing with baseness, and it now turns out
that the frauds are traceable to the very
presence of the President of the United
States himself. His brother, Orville, has
hand in the muss, and Babcock, the
General, comes in for his share of the
spoils.
That the editor of the Herald
knew when he penned the above par
agraph, that it was an outrageous
falsehood, is shown by the fact that
among the dispatches from Washing
ton published in his paper, on Tues
day, the day previous, is the follow
ing:
The Attorney General received dispatch
es yesterday from st. Bouts announcing
that the rumors duplicating Gen Bah
cock and Orville Grant in the whisky
frauds, were utterly without foundation.
The deliberate publication under
editorial sanction, of statement as q
fact, that had twenty-four hours
before been officially contradicted
as having no foundation whatever,
which contradiction could not possl-
bly, have escaped the attention of the
editor, Is entirely characteristic of the
Herald. The only singular thing
about it is that it should brave the
contempt of its readers by thus pre-
sumlng upon their ignorance or Gre
dulity. But perhaps it knows them
better than we do.

The aggregate vote of the late
election in Iowa, as shown by the
official returns, is 2ls,92l, some elev-
en- or twelve thousand higher than
ever before. Gov. Kirkwood receives
the highest vote ever cast for can
didate for Governor. His maiority
by the Official figures is 3l,745.-
Lozier's vote is given at 52s, though
probably not all reported.

Gov. CARPENTER has appointed
eleven gentlemen TO represent Iowa
in National railroad convention at
st. Louis. We notice that some of
our contemporaries express surprise,
that of the eleven delegates not one
resides noith of Des Moines, and the
Dubuque Herald says that "they are
all of the Governors political party"
We have not seen the list, but if the
facts are as alleged, the criticisms of
the Governors action are certainly
we'll timed. Northern Iowa is GER
tainly interested in the railroad ques-
ton, and as the convention has no
partisan character, it would have
been just, as we'll as courteous, to
have given the Democrats share Of
the delegation.

The Chicago Tribune, referring to

The Iowa Falls Sentinel is just the
least inclined to favor Harlan for
Senator. 1t say 1--WE make no plea
Cor or against him; but we might
easily get much worse man for the
position" 1t would not take much
of this kind Of talk from professed
supporters to settle Mr.. Harlan's case
effectually. The Republicans are not
supposed to be looking for candidate
whose record and character are only
relatively unobjectionable. If they
were. Harlan would be found not the
only man possessing negative virtues.

of, it might be great deal worse.

JUDGE THAYER, of the Clinton

JUDGE THAYER, of the Clinton
Age, does not think much Of men
who have no enemies. He says:
"Ihe men who think have enemies.
The men who act have enemies. The
men who put their impress on an
idea have enemies. No man who is
prominent among his nelghbors but
he finds plenty of enemies. The man
who leads, no matter who or what,
has enemies. Enemies are more nee
essary to develop mans capabilities
than friends. No man can tell what
he can do until he meets resistance,
and that resistance comes not from
friends. 1t takes the storm to make
the oak stout and strong, and it takes
the sting and backbiting of enemies
to make man of grit and nerve and
force"

WE notice that some of our State
exchanges are discussing the claims
of candidates for the Wardenship of
the State Prison. Considering that
the reports of those who have visited
the Prison at Fort Madison are almost
invariably complimentary to Warden
Craig and his administration of the
affairs of that institution, we are of
the opinion that it might be wise to
let well enough alone in this cases.

Now; that you may call particular at
tention to these words, spend five minutes
i'll making some of them subjects for OBJ
ject lessons somewhat as follows:&
Ieacher-"Wha is the meaning of har-
nesS?"
Puptl-"It is something put on horses
for them to draw by"
Teacher-"Of what Is it male."
Pupil-"Of leather" Here you ex-
pand the subject by asking what leather
is, how made, and why better tor making
harness than rope or other materials,
etc.
What are some OF the prn-
cipal parts of a harness."
Pupil-" Collar, names, saddle, bride,
and traces
Ieacher-"What is sometimes used in
stead of a collar?'
PupiI-"Breastplate."
1t will readily be seen that such an cx-
ercise may be extended almost indefinite
ly, and be made interesting and profitable.
If desirable to add to the number of words
given in the columns above, the italicized
words will be very good ones. The word
acheel may be taken, and treated as fol-
lows:
IeacAer-"What is wheel:"
Pupit-"A round frame which turns
round'
Teacher ''On what does it turn
Pupil-"On its axis; we say n wagon
wheel turns on An aXletree,"
Teacher-"Yes, but not erletree, rs
some say. Can you name the parts of Il
wheels"
PupH-"Hu5 or mace, .felloe or .telly,
sp0kes, tire"
Here you may call for description of
each, and explain the process of setting
tire, etc. You may also question them on
the different kinds of wheels, which they
have seen or heard Of, etc.
The word maiLcOdch may be taken and
explained. So too, boz, asagon, barrel,
arIetree, may each be made a topic for
lesson. For variety's sake, as well as for
profit, suppose you call upon pupils to
name sentences containing the word boz.
The following may be the examples
given:
The driver sat upon the boz of the
coach.
The garden walk Lad border of boz.
John kept his money in Il boz.
The boy received boz on the ear
Sailors can boz the compass.
This will be sufficient to explain our
meaning. Your active mind will readily
expand the exercises, and make them
highly interesting and instructive. Such
questions in connection with the spelling
lesson will do much to give it life and
meaning; and with such exercises, we'll
devised and continued, pupils will become.
good spoilers, though they may never
study the spelling book for an hour. The
words thus selected can be left upon the
blackboard until within few minutes of
the time for spelling them.
At another time you may collect II list
of words from the school-room as fol-
lows:
