The Democratic Hobby.

A vote was taken In the Lower
House of Congress few days since
on resolution declaring against
Presidential third term. Only l8 out
of over 200 members voted against 1t.
The l8 were mainly SOUTH
ern members. And they probably
voted in the negative not be-
cause they were favorable to a
third term, but because they thought
the Democratic third-term bugbear
unworthy of recognition by an OPP
posing resolution in the House. If
the absurd idea that Grant might
re elect himself, or that the sepub-
lican party or any body else might
nominate him for third term, need
ed last blow to kill 1t dead, this
vote ought to kill it. But 1t il only
ghost anyway, and all the resolu-
tions that Congress might invent or
adopt could not dignity IL into any
thing more than ghost of mn idea;
and 70 fight ghost with Congress
ional resolutions Is as absurily ride
ulous as the ideal ghost itself. But
that Is the sort OF work we may ex-
pect of that Democratic Housr; and
the Democratic press will continue
lis frantic eudeavor to materiaIize
the spirit aud make somebody be-
lieye there IL something In IL. Tile
tenacity with which Democracy
clutches and holds on 10 this gaes-
ton may perhaps properly be attrib-
a.ed - love OF spirits.

The G.. II. i. & p. Railroad has
recently made material reductions
on grain freiGhts from Sigourney to
Chicago, as we learn from the
Sigourney Ne,cs, which heads il arti-
Gle important" This is an item
that should have bearing here at
this time. While other roads are
increasing their freight rates, now
that navigation has closed for the
winter, the Rock Island is pursuing
the opposite course. This is the
road we want to give us competition
rates to Chicago. The farmers of
this county are fully rs much inter
ested in the matter OF the extention
of this road to this city as are the
merchants or any other class in
Knoxville. And now is the time to
show their interest, and secure the
construction of this road, which will
save them thousands of dollars every
year by enabling them to obtain the
very highest prices for their grain
and stock. Buyers here will Of
course pay better prices If freight
rates are low, by reason OF compe-
ting railroad lines, than If we had
hut one road and the rates were
fixed at the highest figures.

RAILROAD Il North.

The Iowa, Minnesota Il North
Pacific Railroad project Is revived
and Monroe, Newton, Marshalitown,
and other towns north are In high
glee over the prospect OF Its early
construction. Subsidies are bein x
raised Mt Marshalltown. and the
business men OF that city are sub.
scribing in large amounts. Mr..
BoardInan, has subscribed 81, 900
others 5000, 81 800, 81 900, etc.,
showing that they 90 not intend TO
let the enterprise fail.
The required subsidies at Newton
and Monroe have been pledged, and
the early completion Of the road
between those towns IL now fully
assured. This Is what the Newton
Headiigh Of last week has to say:
Mr.. Davis returned from Chicago
last week, having purchased the iron
for the Road from Newton to Mon
roe, and the bridge across skunk
River. Work Is now progressing On
the grading rapidly and In few
days, II the weather continues as u
H., the road bed to the river Will
he ready fpr the ties. About MY
hands and teams are at work. The
iron Is expec.ed hers within this
month sufficient TO lay the
road 10 the river. III the
weather continues open, work VIII
be pushed on through the winter.
ID. y. Couch has the contract for the
grading and laying Of the iron To
skunk River. Chas. Upham WAS
awarded the contract for bridging
the road 10 Moproe---except the
span across Skunk, which is to be a
Howe Truss.
Knoxville will one day not far IN
the future he the southern terminus
of this road. And then we VIII sup
ply Northern Iowa and Minnesota
with Marion county coal, ana our
lumber will come direct from the
Northern pine forests by rail. This
may hook like bnilding "castlc In

M0rtOn's Resolutions.

Senator Morton a few days since
introduced In the Chamber the fol-
lowing:
Ieesotred, That the people OF the
United States constitute one national
unity.
Res0tped, That the States are not
and never were, sovereign or inde-
pendent in Il national sense, aud are
Integral parts of one nation.
hcsotred, That the Constitution is
not a compact between the States In
their municipal and corporate char.
acters, but was formed by the peo.
Pile Of the United States i'm their pri-
mary capacity.
Resoired, That the rights Of the
States arr defined and guaranteed by
| the Constitution, aud can neither he
diminished or enlarged except by an
amendment thereof.
Resoircd, That the rights Of the
States have the same sanction and
sssodrity AZ the rights anil l,owprs of
the GovernnlpntU Ufthe United STATES,
and hat local domestic government
by the States within the limits OF
the Constitution rs an essential part
of our free republican system
Resoteed, That the doctrine that a
Stale has u right To secede from the
Union is inconsistent with the idea
of nationality, il In conflict with the
spirit and structure OF the Constiiu-
ton, and should be regarded ~ hav-
ing been forever extinguished by
the suppression of the rebellion.
The Ottumwa Courier thus COM
ments, showing the purpose of the
test questions raised:
These resolutions are nitro duced TO
determine grave questions, and To
enIighten the country aS Ia the posi-
tiOn Of all parties upon these qnes-
tinns. we are glad that they were
introduced. The progress OF the
Democrat party To the point Of OBJ
tanning majority In the Lower
House: the revolutionary and mnr-
drrous proceedings Of Democrats In
the South: the open avowal of eX-
treme States rights by such leading
Democrats ~ Senator Eaton, of Con
necticut, and Bavard, Of Deleware
are TO US alarming. Recpl!ectiDg
the woe and des,laiiou following
from false doctrines attempted h, b-
carried out by force We cannot but
entertain the gravest fears for the
,future.1 These resolutions will test
the question, so far at least, M to
determine whether the Democracy
Of Congress are willing to put upon
record By their solemn act. the fact,
fsuch IL he, that they have abandon
ed the principles which underlie a
defense Of State secession. Thp-e
resolutions will put on issue the only
really grave question before the
American people, and which make.
the next Presidential campaign or
such vital importance.

believe that the Department should
be abolished entirely, and that the
law department should go with 1t.
Ifiawyers and doctors are to be edu-

similar opportunities to both sexes

OrE0mlxatiOn Of the Knox vtlle
Department or the Alta nce
Mutual Life Assurance Sect.
ely Of the UN1seSl states,


Department Or the Aella nee
Mutual Life Assurance Soct.
esy Of the UMised states.
The fact that Life Insurance IL the
safest and best provision that any
man, rich or poor. can make for his
family, or his own later years In life,
has become patent, aud the question
now is: In what Company can he Sc
cure the best sdvantages-safety con-
sidered-at the lowest cost.
A few OF the prominent features
such rs will interest our readers are
rs follows:
The soci,ty ia organized on the
Mutual plan, but has full paid cap
itai of 100000 deposited with the
Treasurer Of State for the benefit Of
Policy holders. All surplus arising
from the transaction Of business on
the Mutual plan belongs to the mem.
bers, and can not be Invested from
its proper channel. The funds of the
society are loaned In the xest,
where high rates OF interest can be
obtained, and all money received FOR
premiums in this Department., less
losses and expenses, will be loaned
to policy holders Ia the Department.
This of itself Is an i'm portaut fact
when il Is known that the citizens OF
Iowa paid in.1s74 the large sum of
81 900, 600 for Life Insurance.
The society issues policies on all
the well-known plans, including the
Tontin e investment policy. It's pol
icies are non-forfeiting and world.
wide, no restriction being placed on
residence or travel. The registered
policy issued by the Society Is as
safe as our National currency or our
government bonds, being secured by
a deposit OF first class securities with
the Treasurer Of State as prescribed
by law.
A number Of our prominent citi-
zeBs have decided To identify them
with this society by making applica.
tion for insurance; and to the end
that more OF our representative men
may be secured, to encourage this or
ganization, the General Agent, Mr..
John Aulie, Jr., or mis- assistant, ex.
poets to canvass the county. Under
the charter the President OF each De-
partment u u member OF the General
Board OF Trustees, which meets. once
each year In the city OF Leaycn worth
Kausas, where the principal office Of
the Company Is located; aud every
policy holder in the sum Of 81 900 iS
entitled 10 one vote I'm the election Of
officers.
This isan effort In the right direc.
tion. and when the organization IL
completed will he rs valuable tn our
town and county, ~ any permanent
financial Institution that can be
formed by our people.
Deliberate consideration OF these
facts cannot fail to convince the most
skenticai.

Petitions are i'm circulation asking
the Legislature to give to the HON.
9pathists their appropriate share OF
the State funds appropriated to sus-
tain the Medical Department OF the
State University at Iowa City, on
the just plea that that Department
IL now entirely under control OF Alo-
patl,ics, and that Is unfair to give the
public funds for the teaching Of one
school ~ medicine 10 the exclusion
OF all others.
As IL appears to us very impor-
tant principal Is here involved. Both
poIiticle parties In this State have
clnphaticalIy declared opposition 10
any division Ut the School Fund
among religious sects, and this is
equivalent to saying that the pecu-
liar doctrines or teBets of no acct
shall be taught In our public schools.
The homeopathic and Eclectic
Schools Of Medicine surely have q
right to claim, upon similar grounds,
That II AIopathic doctrines are to be
inculcated In the State University Mt
public expense, their own peculiar
methods should have An equal chance:
or in other words, that the Medical
Department Of the University should

The Ottumwa Courier thinks that
while the Democrats in the Lower
House of Congress are in the business
OF making resolutions it would not
be bad move for them to sandwich
in among the rest one declaring
that they will never again rebel
against the will of the people, ex-
pressed at the polls In the election Of

Who shall succeed Judge Wright
in the U. 8. Senator We have but
few words to say to this question,
which has been 50 voiumincusly
discussed by the Iowa press for the
past three months that readers are
generally becoming disgusted with
it. 1t is grave question, aud we
are sorry to see all the gravity being
pommeled out of it. Ii the method
OF discussing 1t now current with
some OF the papers be much longer
continue d it will prove grave I'm an
other sense to some of the candidates.
After all the labored efforts Of those
sage dailies--the Davenport Gazette,
the Burlington Hasek~Eye and the
Keokuk Gate City, in the early days
of the discussion, to preserve the
gravity Of the subject and warn the
country weeklies not to say anything
naughty of any of the candidates, we
are surprised to find them, and es-
pecially the latter two, each madly
endeavoring TO strengthen Its own
candidate by pulling down others.
The candidates are all at fault in
allowing this to be done, and for this
reason, nd the further reason that
they are so loadly seeking the Office,
we would be glad to see them all dis
carded, and some man taken up in
their stead who would not regard
the Office worth such disgracefui
struggle. The man for the place
ought to have dignity enough TO
keep him out Of the scramble, and
modesty enough to let the office seek
him ifhe is wanted.
Gov. kirkwood, though he would
grace the seat, as he did once before,
ought to be content with the honors
he now wears. Mr.. McCrary we
would not take from his seat in the
Lower House at the risk OF having
his place, which is now so ably and
honorably filled, supplied bya Bour-
bon Of the Claggett stamp General
Belknap, as Secretary OF War, now
represents the soldiery Of Iowa and
the West IN place where every sol
dier In the State is proud to see him.
For one, we would not take him
from Il even 10 make him Senator.
and give his appropriate place proba-
bly, to man from some Eastern
city. We regard Mr.. Harlan as a
very able and honorable man, well
fitted for and worthy Of the pl ace.
We deem him guiltless Of many cor
rupt acts charged against him. IL IL
very unfortunate for him however
that his party has SO often found II
necessary to defend him. There may
have been nothing corrupt In his
acceptance Of the famous Durant
gift, but II Is very seriously to be re-
GREETED that his record Is not clear
of it, and we shall hope that the APP
pearance Of stain will not be lifted
from his record, to be transferred by
his reelection, TO the record Of his
party. Let us have man whose
record needs no defense nor erasures
whose life is a clear written page,
free from all bIots except such minor
faults rs mar the life Of the best OF
Adams sons. If Hiram Price, or
some other inan as near our model
as he and not now prominent ON the
list OF seekers, cannot be elected, we
shall hope the lot will fall upon Me-
Crary or Belknap, against whom we
can find no objections except that
they should not be removed from
