An Idol Smashed.

A few days ago the Io,oa State Leader,
(Des Moines) published letter of some
thing over a column, photographing Hi
ram Price in such clear light that his ad-
mirers are made exceedingly unhappy
especially those who are anxious to make
him the Republican candidate for governor
of Iowa this coming fall, The letter shows
up the selfish and domineering ways of
king Hiram for the last 20 years.
To us, who remember king Hiram"
when he was Democrat and held the Of
fee of clerk of the district court over the
river, 20 years ago, and who haye watched
his turnings and twistings in politics; his
jump to the Republican party, for Office,
when he saw the growing strength of that
party and the waning fortunes of his own
party before the triumphant march OF the
African; his boss" management of the
temperance cause and the Methodist or
ganization, etc., ETC., his riding into con
gress on the African wave; his appoint
ments of his relatives to office, and looking
out for fat pickings for himself, the lette,
!, is exceedingly interesting. 1t is drawn b,
master hand,

The Love Of a Big Boy for his Mother

Of all the love affairs in the world, none
can surpass the love of the big boy for his
mother. 1t is love pure and noble, hon
orable in the highest degree to both. l
do not mean merely dutiful affection.
mean love which makes boy gallant
to his mother, saying plainly to everybody
that he is fairly in love with her. Next
to the love of husband, nothing so crowns
a womans life with honor as this second
love, this devotion of the son to her, And
l never yet knew boy to turn out bad
ly who began by falling in love with his
mother. Any man may fall in love with
fresh-faced girl, and the man who is GAL
liant to the girl may cruelty neglect the
worn and weary wife. But the big boy
who is lover of his mother at middle age
is a true knight, who will love his wife as
much in the sere-leaf autumn as he did in
the daisied spring, There is nothing so
beautifully chivalrous as the love OF big
| boy for his mother.-Berlah Green.

Governor Weston's own election depend
ed upon the organization Of the senate,
and so secured the majority in the
senate that he expected would reflect him
to the governorship. The posi-
ton of chief executive was one with
which Weston seemed 10th to part, and by
an inexcusable and daring act he has en-
deavored to retain the position for another
term.-Cdnabridge Chronicle.
A good deal of the stufing is knocked
out of the above by the fact that Govern
or Weston was not a candidate at all And
the balance of the Chronicles column Of
patch work falls fiat before the fact that
the supreme court of New Hampshire
unanimously decided the action of Gov.
Weston and his council to be correct and
legal, and the Democratic senators legal
members of that body. The Republican
senators who rebelled and seeded were
compelled to take off their hats and sneak
back into the senate again.

The admirers of Gen. Grant are busy
ed at Shiloh" OF course Grant, who was
the commanding oficnr, was not surprised.
We have observed that those patriots who
helped save the country and now languish
in post offices, always find some corps or
division commander responsible for mis-
fortunes, but never find any subordinate
similarly responsible for successes where
Grant was in command. If our memory
serves US, several corps commanders were
awfully defeated at Cold Harbor, but
Grant gained brilliant victory at Spott-
sylvania court house. That, We believe, is
the customary postmaster version of it
