II %LEGISLATFRE.

The Sixteenth General Assembly OF this
State will convene at. Des, Moines, one
week from next Monday: One of the first
and most important duties dcvolving upon
it after its organizati N will be the cleo
ton Of a United States Senator. There
has beeR considerable work done through
out the State the past few weeks-espec:.-
ally in the papers, and with ono or two
exceptions, the strife has BEEN n friendly
vast. improvement on the last can
vas four years ago when it seemed as II
many ofthc newspapers throughout the
State, and in fact, as far away rs Chicago
and Cincinnati were doing their utmost to
see which could throw the most mud and
filth and slime on the various candidates
As is well-known our preferences are and
have been for Mr.. Harlan, bat as the mat
ter now stands judging from our recent
exchanges, it is very mu Ii like the mind
of one of Mr.. Dickens characters, "Aw'
in a Middle" One paper will say Kirk
wood is the coming man, another one as
serts with equal confidence that Price will
be the next Senator, still another will
state that Harlan is bound to succeed
Judgs Wright. Belknap's friends are be-
ginning to think his chances arc improving.
As NJ. stated in our first article on this
subject We believe they are all good men,
and which ever one succeeds in getting
votes enough to elect him will do credit
10 Iowa, as well as to himself. Should
GovernorKirkwood be elected Ic would be
assured Il good position for the next eight
wears, II while VIC would havc not the
least objection 10 him occupying a posi-
ton in the L. s. Senate, yet it seems to
us that ii amounts To almost, if o quite,
ingratitudc in S me of the papers who
seem to want TO throw him overheard now
lust because he was elected Governor By a
rousing majority. 1t was generally known
that he was aspiring to the position Of Scna
tor when the State Convention met last
June. There seemed TO be a demand that
he becom? the candidate for Governor.
He, of co lrse, could plainly see that if he
took that position, it would dim his pros
poets for the Senatorial race, and so he
refused to run on the Gubcrnatorial ticket,
until it seemed impossible for the Convcn-
tion to agree on any one else, when he
consented to become the candidate, and
it is w~ell-known what a good run he made.
And now, because he made such a good
run and showed in what regard the peo-
pie hold him, some of the papers think
or say that "Kirkwood is well enough
provided for let him stay where he is"
This is not right. While we believe that
lie will do better rs an executive than as
n legislator, yet he is able enough, honest
enough, and in every way capable of keep
ing up the high position attained by the
Iowa Senatorial Representatives. Let the
best man be chosen.

Biography.

JOHN TODD: The Story Of his Life, told mainly
by Himself. Compiled and Edited by John L.
Todd. svo. cloth, beveled edges, with ~iliustra-
tons. 81 rs. New York Harper & Brothers.
Chicago Jansen, McClurg e. Co.
The eminent and wcll-known author
Samuel Smiles, in his work entitled
Character" says "Great, indeed, is the
human interest felt in biography what
are all the novels that find such multi
tudcs of readers, but so many fictitious
biographies What are the dramas that
people crowd to see, but so much acted
biography Every person may learn
something from the recorded life of an
other, and even comparatively trivial deeds
and sayings may he invested with interest,
as being the outcome of the lives of such
beings as we ourselves are. The records
of the lives Of good men are especially
useful. They Influence our hearts, in
spire us with hope, and set before us great
examples. A noble life put fairly on rec
ord acts like an inspiration to others. 1t
exhibits what life is capable of being
made. 1t rcfreshes our spirit, encourages
our hopes, gives us new strength and
courage and faith-faith in others as well
as in ourselves
The life of DR.. Todd is, as its title indi-
Gates told mairly by himself, by the
means of his letters, diaries, &c. 1t is
ably edited by his son, and though We
might cXpecs a number of f~railties IN it
from the very fact of his son being the
editor, yet nevertheless it is evidently
told in a truthful manner The story of
his life is IN interesting and instructive
He was a man somewhat peculiar
in some respects, and at the same time
one of those sturdy, conscientious men
who, though inclined to have some rough
sides, are yet true, honest and warm-heart-
This is a book which il well describ-
ed in the remarks by Mr.. Smiles quoted
above. 1t is one we can recommend with
confidence to our friends, and one
which will fill an important place in my

1t must be observed that while this
huge mass II fapating Indebtedness was
wiped out and ceased to he used as cur
rency or as the means OF infation, the
machinery Of credit represe. ted by it did
not disappear, but in fact was simply
transferred to the shape of bank credits
by the economy of actual money always
familiar in buisness. The collapse that
has produced so much suffering resulted
from the feet that the domestic markets
were not equal to the enormous extent OF
the domestic production. Everything
had become excessive, and 4 reaction
could not be resisted. A general CON
traction of the cost of production and of
living was indispensable before we could
hope for foreign markets for our manu-
features, or even to build and repair our
own vessels. We cannot conceive that
any imitation of the currency would rene.
dy the hard times, for what the country
wants are markets for its surplus pro.
ducts.
Let US, then, ask plain business men
| what the Democrats mean when they de.
nounce contraction? We have shown
that this contraction was, first, of the i'm
mense expenditures of the government
second, of the mass of debt; thirC, of thu
tremendous weight of taxation and fourth
of the cost of living and production, ant
of the adverse balance of trade. Thcs'

These values were not lost. They were
simply put into other forms of invest
| ment where they could be rendered more
productive. All these measures of the
Republican party were essential to the
maintenance OF the national credit, to
| the development of our internal re-
sources, to the filling up of the void ere
sted by the waste of war and to the or,
| ganization of American finance upon a
substantial basis, demanded by the inter
ests of so vast an empire and so rogres-
sive a people. In every Eoropean coun-
try the performance of such a task would
be regarded by our own countrymen as
remarkably brilliant. But here, where
everybody is familiar with the prodigious
results of this policy, the pressure of
hard times leads many to d%enounce the
whole process as though it had been
some monstrous natural attiiction. If
the Republican party had nothing else TO
boast Of, its commercial policy is suifi-
cient to prove the high character of its
craftsmanship, in contrast with which
stand the ignorance and rccklessness of
its assailants. -PAHadelphia North inner

Detective Stories.

TILE DETECTIVE n THE S0MNAMBUL1ST.
By Allen Pinkerton. Emo, cloth, illustrated,
uniform with 1.-THE Expressman and the De-
tective." $3.50. Chicago w. b. Keen, Cooke
& Co.
This is the third volume in the series of
Detectiye Stories which Mr.. Pinkerton is
writing, and is fully as interesting as
either of its predecessors. Like the first
book of the series, the scenes in this
volume took place in the South. The
first story in the book is the most exciting
one we have read, and will gain the at
tention of the most careless reader, and
having gained it will hold it until the close
of the last act in the tragedy. In this
story the Detective has to find out and
bring to Justice the murderer of a bank
cashier. After the murder, various means
are resorted to with the local authorities
to discover the guilty person or persons,
but without avail, and after the expira-
ton of about three months, when every
effort had proved futile, Mr.. Pinkerton
was written for to come and see if he
could u~nravel the mystery. He immedi-
ateIy gees there and commences working
up the case, assuming the character of a
wealthy cotton Spectator, and by this
means having constant access to the bank
without any suspicion being excited.
After the circumstances of the
murder and robbery had been detailed to
him by the officials of the bank, he retIres
to his room to give the matter his thought
and study, and after weighing carefully
all reports, he forms his opinion as to who
the guilty person is, and proceeds to act
upon 1t. The incidents following are told
in q most thrilling manner, The murder
err is finally convicted ard acknowledges
his crime and Immediately after the &C
encouragement commits suicide. The de-
vices and means adopted for his discovery
are various and novel, but they prove
efficient. This story will add to Mr.. Pin
kerton's reputation as a writer, and will
command a large sale.

On Christmas night one Philip Gallag-
her, who lives at Westerly, Rhode Island,
attempted to kick his wife. He hit Their
infant in her arms. The child was in
stantiy killed by the blow. The Coroner's
jury returned a verdict to the effect that
the person from whom the liquor was
purchased which made the father drunk,
was guilty of the murder of the child.
TIE father, however. was held to bail in
the amount of 81, 900. Could the theory
of that jury be generally carried out. a
most benefioent reform would be efft cted.
