The Iowa City Republican says in
reference to the candidacy of the Hon,
Samuel j. kirkwood, for U. s. Sena.
tor:
"In presenting tho claims of Gov.
Kirkwood, we shall indulge in no dis.
paragement of Harlan, McCrary, Bel
KNAPP, or any of the eminent men whose
names have been mentioned in this
connection, all of whom have served
the Republican party with credit TO
themselves and honor to the State"
This is as it should be. The charac.
ter and ability of the four men named
are we'll known to the people of Iowa
and Of the nation. The names are all
Of national repute. So far as we know
there is no clear evidence from either
II the gentlemen that they are candi
iates for the position. The nearest to
nything like submission on theil
part of being candidates, is in refer
ence to Mr. Kirkwood, TO be drawn
from the above editorial clipping
taken from his home paper. If ther,
has ever been as mnch evidence al
this, of tho candidacy Of either of th'
other gentlemen named, we have no
observed it. In regard 10 Mr. Harlan
If our memory serves US right in wha
we have'read and heard in regard Il
him, he is not and will not be candi
date. We speak entirely from oul
impressions, with no authority what
ever to say aught for one of the gen
tlemen named or for any one else. Ii
regard to McCrary and Belknap ",
have absolutely no knowledge or i'm
preston even, that would place then
on other than entirely neutral ground
in regard to their candidacy. On
thing We might reasonably and natur
ally conclude as certain in regard t
the two latter named gentlemen, snt
! that is, that as they both hail from thu
same city in Iowa, and are warn
friends, that both Of them in no even
would be- candidates.
There have been other prominen
men mentioned in this connection, al
| of whose names We cannot now recall
IA the time approaches TO select {
man to succeed Senator Wright, thor
will be discussions as to who lie tn
proper man. This should be, but i
should be conducted on fair and hon
orable principles and if there be can
didate whose friends abuse and sian
der an opponent, he should openly and
publicly condemn 1t in strong term'
or be held responsible for it.

AT the head of tho editorial column

AT the head of the editorial column
of the Davenport Daily Democrat Of
the 7th inst, stands the following:
"Tbcre are rumors of corruption
and Misrepresentation of State money
by State Treasurer Christy. Can It
be possible that he ia following in the
footsteps of his distinguished prede-
cessor, Rankin?
Some two weeks or more ago the
Burlington Ha,ckeye gave report of
some transaction said to have 90.

Treasurer of State. Tho Hawkeye

publication, aud then Immediately

don't believe his own words, but with
tho same despicable meanness which
actuates the petty thief to steal undo,
the cover of darkness, and during the
slumbers of his victim, this writer
strikes. True = large portion of the
readers of such an article give Il nc
credcnce, and detest as all decent men
should the author, but there are those
who will read 1t whose store of infor.
nation of political nature is drawn
from the Democrat, and who may be
induced to believe that Capt. Christy
is guilty of corruption. The slip shod,
reckless, shameful way in which mems
regulations are thus treated by many
newspapers ia Disgrace to the profess
sion, and the time is not far distant
when the public mind will draw them

Brain ana Miud.

DR.. Hammond the eminent surgeon, has
been lecturing In New York to establish the
fact that the brain is not the sole organ of
the mind. The Professor holds that hu.
man beings can live without brains and
the spinal cord has volition Of It's own.
The Worlds report of his lecture credits
him with saying:
"Mind ia nothing more than force devel-
oped by nervous action. To realizs my
thing around us, to perceive. requires the
cooperation Of three faculties, an organ Of
sense, a nerve aud q brain nerve tissue.
Such actions, or contortiops as result from
pain, tickling on the feet and suuff.takiug
are not always dependent on brainisl per-
ceptiou. They take place with people who
are mentally unconscious. The source Of
perception must, therefore, have been else.

of q remarkable series Of experiments made
on the lower animals. A frog with the
brain removed will kick and struggle if
punched; II pricked 1t will lit up the right
or left leg to brush away the offending
needle, and will even swim If placed in the
water. A decapitated alligator will 60 and
do likewise. A rationale has struck out
with his headless body and knocked down
his executioner. These things prove that
the spinal cord has volition Of its own, and
is something more than . mere conductor

and the gangl.a, therefore, are separate CEN
tiers Of perception and volition. A young
duck, just out of the egg-shell, will swim
like veteran, even after its brain is re.
moved. A pigeon in like predicament will
brush down bis feathers aud put his head
under his wings to sleep.

TO the State quite email. We cannot
yet cay how much exactly, but it is
confidently asserted that it will not ex.

sum. ..
We have always believed of Major
Rankin that his accommodating na.

in other words, his lack of that stern
quality, that firmness, which a man 60

thoroughly believed, and still believe.
that it was not the lack of the strongest
native honesty in Major Samuel f.
Rankin which brought about his diff.

stated, his easy yielding, trusting dis
position which ruined him.
We are not conversant with the tes
timony on the trial, and hence we d.
not speak advisedly in regard to it
yet, from all we know of the case from
first to lsst-and it is not a little-we
must conclude that the jury tempered
mercy with the hard cold rigor of jus
tice, just because the promptings Of

M. Editor Those of US who had the
privilege OF listening TO the lecture OF
Do. Estes on the ''ManiioldneSS and
Oneness OF the Bible,n wish that every
school and every congregation in the
County could have had the same priv
ilege. No adequate report Of the lecture
can be given without giving the thoughts
of the lecture in the preachers own
language. Without any of the spirit of
controversy it was u complete reiuiation
Of Parkerism-a good purgative pin for
those who are swollen with that ism. Tho
manner Of De- Estes is not very boisterous.
he is no pnlpit-lhumPsr, nor sensational
preacher. and yet he managed 10 keep
the closest attention OF large congrega-
ton FOR one hour and half, during the
delivery Of the lecture.
In these days, when aew interest is
awakened for the Sunday School or
Bible Lessons. it is well to hear a lecture
of that kind on the maniColdness aud
oneness of the Holy Scriptures, and see
the evidence that their author is God.
Rev. Nh. Tinker. OF AubHrR, will de
liver the next lecture Sunday evening,
April 4th- JB. W.
