Our esteemed contemporary of the

instead of entering the portals of it's
gates in the broad glaze of day. We
agree with our friend that :: the high
est recommendation that can be given
to town, is that which credits it
with kind treatment of a stranger"
who visits it in the manner latterly
above deScrlbel-and we venture to
believe that in this respect our own
modest village will compare favorably

Der is already on our table, and is one Of
those rare triumphs which have won for
this "queen of the ladies' books" its vast

beauty; the styles are the latest and it is
not only IL fashion plate, it is picture. As
t" the literary contents, they are, as always,
firstclass. 1t is also the cheapest of all the
really good magazines. Every woman.
married or single, ought to take it. The
price is but two dollars year, postage pro-
paid by the publisher To clubs the rates
are lower yet, postage also prepaid by the

GENERAL OBSERVER.

The Ahline for June has come to hand
and it may be called one of the most sub
stantiai numbers of the publication which
has yet appeared, appealing, throughout, to
the most refined and elevated sentiments.
This fact is especially notable in several of
the illustrations, Mothers Darling, the
first, being perfect apothcosis Of that
hottest and most self-sacrifcing of affections
conveyed by the name while il. two COM
panion-pictures, The Helping Hand, and
Saved and Lost, the story Of mans spiritual
peril and his only abiding refuge is told
most striking.y. Three fine pictures open
the promised series Of Picturesque Europe,
in "a Waterfall in the Pyrcnees," gem
OF Albert Rieger, the original of which
formed one of the leading art-attractions. at
Vienna in ls73-and two charming ovals,
Surmont on the Bronze. and The Heron's
Rock, both from picturesque Auvergne
The other full-page picture of the number
is graphic Battle of Bunker Hill, follow
ing out the patriotic Centennial series COM
menced three months ago; and hand
some illustration of Scott, the Drinking
Stag, three noble views of Durham Cathe-
dral, and a portrait Of Hon. Luther Il. Wv
man, of Brooklyn make up the art-contents
OF the number. The literary contents is up
to the usual high standard. making up a
whole of quite the average Atdinc excel
lonce, which is all that need be said. The

QUITE a number of our Iowa ex.
changes are bothering themselves to
call attention to the amended Game
Law, their purpose being to show that
it is now lawful to shoot prairie chick
ems on aud after the 18th of August
Probably there is not in the State the
owner Of a shotgun and chicken dog
who does not know that the amended
Game Law is of no effect whatever
The purpose of the fifteenth General
Assembly was to SO amend the Code
as to make it lawful to shoot prairie
chickens after the 18th Of Augqst, in
stead of compelling anxious sports
men to wait until after the 22d OF
August as the code provided. There
fore it was enacted, that
s.If any person elsewhere than on his
own premises, shoot or kill any prairie
hen or chicken, between tic fist day OF
December and the fifteenth day OF Au
gust next following, for the purpose Of
shipping the game to any point within OF
without the State, tor the purpose Of sell
ing the same for profit, etc"
Whether or no the language was
purposely constructed for the purpose
of removing all legal restriction from
tn, shooting of prairie chickens VIC
cannot say; but it is easy enough to
soc that the Legislation opens the way
Of the sportsmen to the slaughter OF
prairie chickens ip wbateeeyer season
of the year they will. we approi.e4a
u proposition to amend the Game
Law will attract somebody's attention
in the next General Assembl j.

REPUBLICAN, STATE PLAT
EORM-1S75.

We. the representatives of the Republican party
OF the State of Iowa. in convention assembled do
adopt the following platform OF principles
ResOlred i. That we declare II a cardinal prin-
ciple of Republican faith that the Republic is a
nation. one and indivisible. within which the con-
stitutiona rights of the States and Of the people
to local self government must b. faithfully main
tanned.
2 That we favor the carly attainment of cur
rency convertible with coin, and therefore advo-
cate the gradual resumption of specie payments
by continuous and steady steps in that direction.
3. That we are in favor of tariff for revenue,
so adjusted as to encourage home industry.
a. That the earnest effort of the government to
collect the revenue and prevent and punish frauds
has onr unqualified approval.
TX hat we are opposed to further grants of
e-sf0 railways or other corporations and we de-
mand reservation of the public domain for set
Element under the homestead laws and for other
= bon fdc settlers.
&. That we demand such revision Of the pat
ent laws as will relieve industry from the oppres-
sion mOnopoles in their administration
Z. That We cordially approve the policy of the
present administration in the settlement of diff
cultes between ourselves and other nations by ar
bitration instead Of appealing to arms.
S. That the Republican party Of Iowa is oppos-
ed to third term in the Presidency.
- nat we demand that all railway and other
corporations shall be held in fair and just subjec-
ton to the lawmaking power.
TO- That we stand by free education. our pub
lie school system the taxation of all for its sup
port and no diversion of the school fund from the
public schools,
H. That our National and State administration
of public affairs has our hearty approval
II. That we cordially invite all who oppos-
ed to the restoration of the Democratic party to
power, to forget all past political differences and
unite with the Republican party in mantanin:
the cause of true reform.
- 49, That the persistent and tyrannical efforts
of the enemies OF the Union. by murder and in
timdation Of the newly enfranehised citizens, and
the ostracsms and prescriptions Of the white Re
pubicans of the South for the purpose of render
ne null and void the Constitutional Amendments
merit the condemnation of every honest man.
That heartily endorse the action Of President
Grant in enforcing the laws when called upon to
, do so by the proper authorities OF the State.

GOV. KIRKwooD opened the cam
paign in powerful speech at Des
Moines, on Thursday of last week.
He spoke at considerable length up
on the questions of temperance and
finance. With regard to the former,
he takes. Il broad and liberal position.
He deplores the evils of intemperance
and desires to adopt the best way to
suppress the use Of intoxicating
drinks. He declares that he cannot
take part in an attempt to modify or
repeal the present prohibitory law, Or
to frame a license law in lieu Of it. He
thinks that a law might be framed
that would protect the counties where
the present law is enforced, and, at
the same time, better the condition
of counties where it is not enforced,
and declares that such law would
have his approval. He says, howev'
OF, that he could not favor any law
that would deprive the counties
where the present law is enforced, of
the protection they have secured
themselves by its enforcement, to bet
ter counties where they do not see tit
to enforce it.
On the financial question. Coy.
Kirkwood stands with the platform
in demanding steady effort to re-
turn to specie, and the redemption OF
the government paper.

$1,000 License.

1t seems that Mr.. LETTER has got
into hot water with his own party
which is free whisky or nothing-by
his definition of a 'judicious license
law" as meaning one that will place
the license at $1,000, given in his
speeches at Atlantic and Avoca. The
Burlington Gazette, anxious to avoid
the effect of this declaration among
the Democracy of the river counties,
adopted the readiest way which sug-
gests itself to the average Democrat
ic newspaper when caught in such a
dilemma, and that was to deny, point
blank, that Mr.. Letter ever gave ut
terance to such an idea. But this
dodge will not do, for here comes the
Atlantic telegraph, one of the most
reliable papers of the State, edited by
Senator Young, and makes the fol-
lowing explicit statement:
Shepherd Letter said in his speech
in Atlantic, that he was in favor of
making saloon licenses $1,000 each.
Tho writer hereof heard him say it,
and can get afidavits from twenty
men (half of those presently that he
did say it. He said he wanted to
place the license so high that there
would be but five or six saloons IN
Burlington, instead of hundred rs
there are now-"and them" said he,
"the saloons will be in the thickly
settled, business portion OF the city,
and will not be out Oh all the streets
tempting boys and young men to step
IN unobseryed." That is the kind Of
man the "personal liberty candi.
date is. The fact is, Mr.. Letter
thought he was IN one of the "inter-
lor counties" when he was here, and
consequently tried to make his Ii
cense sentiments as acceptable as
possible to the prohibitionists. lie
thought the simple statement that he
was a ''liccnsc man" would satisfy
the prohibltionists. lie also stated
that he had been member of the
Methodist Church twenty years, and
he did that to cGEoiliatc the prohibi.
tlonists, by making them believe he
was license man because it would
be best for the cause OF temper

The Louisville Covicr-Jouaudl,
a representative Democratic paper.
published in State where Democra-
cy reigns almost supreme, says of the
American voter:
The average American voter is II pur
chasable wretch, without intelligence,
without patriotism, and without honor.
1t not by language as uneqnlvocal,
still by their reckless dishonesty and
untruthfulness, some of the Demo
cratic papers of Iowa are giving evil
dence in this campaign Of their faith
in the above sentiment. The state.
mcnts they make and the arguments
they use are insulting to the intelli-
gent and honest voter.

DIGNIFIED, ERy!-The Burling-
ton Gazette, the home organ of LET
fer, which has been referring to
lakewood through the cempaign as
"nirty Sam" and "Wampus SAM
now changes his tune . little and
calls him cold Klrky." The epithets
are harmless except to those who use
them, and would not be worth MOTTO
ing now only from the fact that they
appear in newspaper which'is under
stood to receive its inspiration direct
~ from the Democratic candidate tor
GoyerEnr: The G"sefte, rs the mo IT,
piece or Letter, thus shows not only
its want Of argument but its utter dis
regard Of the amenities observed by
gentlemen towards each other. 1t is
thus doing infinitely more to damage
it's candidate than it is possible for
the Republican papers to do, for the
people Of Iowa will not call to the
highest aud most dignitied Office in

sanction the use f ungentemanly

If the returns Of the election in
North Carolina are to be taken rs an
indication, the tidal wave Of Democ-
racy that surged over the land last
fall is settling back with a strength
and volume most remarkable. Last
wear the Democrats carried North
Carolina by majority of $1,000
This year the Republican majority on
the popular vote is 10000, and a ma
jority of the members of the Consti-
