Grhvely kind, austerely affectionate, he
would have laid down his life for Aunt
Madeline; and vet she felt the bonds
about her, invisible though they were,
strong as the toughest steel.
No partridge berries crown her head
now; the bright autumn leaves on the
walls of the stiff, bare-looking parlor, had
been commented on, as evidence OF the
pershing nature of worldly things, and
Aunt Madeline removed them, while the
poor innocent man. ignorant OF the
pain he had given his wife, never noticed
the change. In a thousand trivial acts he
made her sensible of the want of unison
between them; yet no lover of twenty
could be more attentive. He saw her
cheek fade, and he proposed visit to the
next yearly meeting, and hired more
..help'' in the house. He stood between
her and all toll: he wrapped shawl
around her when the weather was damp;
he spent sleepless nights in devising
means to make her look as she used to in
past years, and groaned in spirit as he
thought of the picture of the evening
when he surprised Uncle Fred at play
with MS children. And yet it never
occurred to him that he had chilled
the spirit which lit up her face OF
old. She knew he loved her, and was
grateful for his care; but the cold gray OF
his life settled slowly over hers, and all its
warm, rich coloring faded gradually
away.
But daughter was born, and the moth
er's heart grew young again. Uncle Jos
eph looked with puzzled delight upon the
babe, and his heart went out with deep
err affection to the fathcrless boys, toward
whom he had certainly performed pa
rents duty, if he had not given them pa
rents love.
Aunt Madeline desired to call the baby
Alice, but Uncle Joseph, who had been
much exercised in regard to her own
name, and wished it had been Martha,
made serious objections, and proposed to
substitute Eunice, the name Of his mother,
"a weighty Friend" as he expressed it,
and an occasional speaker in meeting.
Aunt Madeline sighed and yielded the
point, and the child was named for It's
worthy grandmother.

THE McGregor Times, Democratic,

The McGregor Times, Democratic,
INDUCES in little anticipatory crow
ing over the election this fall in the Sd
District. 1t predicts that every one
of the gentlemen named for the Re-
publican nomination for Congress,
"will be respectfully requested to re-
tain his present business relations
with the people," and winds up with
the remark: "The District is Liber-
ally Democratic, gentlemen" We
are GLAD to have the status of the
Opposition party thus definitely
stated. Two years ago it was Llber-
ally-Democratic or Democratically-
Liberal, or whole hog Democratic, or
Observation-Disclosures lly-Lib-
eral, according to circumstances and
places. 1t was call over in spots,' -
and no two alike. Ainsworth was
the champion chameleon of the north
west, and the dexterity and facility
with which he changed the color of
his politics during that campaign
would throw in the shade anything
that he would probably do in Con
gress, if he should remain there a de-
cade. The Times does well to blow
before the election, for it will not
have an opportunity after the 1des Of
November.

PROMINENT Democrats at Wash
ington and all over the country are
becoming disguised with the fla
GRAVITY unfair and dishonest manner
in which the investigations under
taken by the House committees are
conducted. So long as these ;nvestl-
cations were confined to blackening
the fame of Republicans, in office or
out, the Democrats made no COM
plant, no matter how unfair the
methods OF unjust the conclusion;
neither were they disturbed when the
Investigations were made to subserye
the malice OF revenge Of the Whisky
Ring; but when it was found that
they were made the vehicle tor black
mailing operations, and that the vic
tins were as likely to be Democrats
as Republicans, in fact that jobs were
being put up on prominent Demo
cratic politicians, then they found
voice to denounce the questionable
manner in which the investigations
were being conducted, and to demand
that the sessions Of the committees
be open to the public, so that the
whole truth might be known, and the
malicious accusation 60 out accom-.
panied by its antidote.

Mr.. BRIsTow is credited with the
remark to prominent Government
official recently: elf they will let
me stay where I am, shall be salts
fed. have never sought the Presi-
dency." 1t is absolutely true that
Mr.. Bristow has not directly or indi-
rectly sought to make capital or
friends for himself as candidate
for the Presidency, except SO far as a
faithful and honest performance of
his official duties shall gain him
friends. A more INSCRIPTIONS and
ambitious man in his place could not
withstand the temptation to manipu-
late the custom houses and use the
powerful aid OF the Treasury officials
under his control in his own interest,
but nobody accuses Secretary Bris
tow of SO doing, or in any other way
making his position subservicnt to
his ambition.

"The PRONUNCIATION Of the fact did
not at all abash him. He Immediate

the vindication of his character. Il

We might leugthen the chapter of
'parallels i'll our history" from Van
Buren's, Pierce's, and Buchanan's
administration. The late Democrat
ic cabinet stole the country into bank
ruptcy, and then joined the rebellion
against it without ever whisper of
Democratic disfavor to this day.
All this does not clear Belknap.
1t does show that official corruption
is not SO unparalleled" in our histo-
ry as these Democratic reformcrs
would try to make out; and that no
one ever could say for the Democrat
lc party, what the Democrats now
concede to the Republican party,
that II pursues its own offenders with
"alacrity." Indeed, the Washington
correspondent of the New York
World, of March 18th, is so struck
with the Republican determination
to inflict stern justice that he calls

KNAPP has experienced at the hands of

THE Davenport Gazette is not of
the opinion that Gen. Hedrick's state

has helped his case materially. 1t
says:
Gen. Hedrick did not, as we I'M
derstand the matter, invest a dollar
of actual capital in the business
Certainly his statement gives no in
dication that he did do SO. He sim
ply traded % his influence" with
the Secretary of War, Because he
had that, he drew o share of tho
profits. That Gen. Hedrick should
not regard that <sort of traffic i'm.

demoralizing nature of the whole
system,

TIE Dubuque Times of Saturday
contained "leader" laudatory of
Senator Conkling as an aspiring
Presidential candidate. This is all
right as q newspaper puff; but we
sincerely hope the Times does not
wish to see the vote of the Iowa del
cgation cast for q candidate possess
ing such strong antagonisms, and
back of whom are SO many politicians
who, as Curtiss puts it, do not appeal
to the consciences of that large class
who are with the Republican party
when it isright, and cannot be count
ed with it when it violates what these
copsciences declare is not right-that
class who do not care particle for
the Republican party as party ma
chine; and whose votes are likely to
decide the pending contest.-De'

TIE New York Tribune, which
cannot be accused of Partially for
President Grant, is compelled in fair
ness to admit that no successful as.
sault has been made upon his integ.
rity thus far by the Democrats in
Congress, though their disposition 10
do HIM injury is plainly manifest in
every investigation of his admins
tration. The Tribune says:
The investigators of this winter push
ed in every possible direction, have lief,

We therefore beg our Democratic friends
to moderate their unruly rage, and tc
spring no more scandals upon disguised
nation till they are sure about the facts.

FoR lack Of funds TO nov

For lack of funds to pay the ex-
penses OF jurors, witnesses, officers,
DC, the U. S. District Court, in ses-
sion at Dubuque, has, been compelled
to adjourn after weeks session, al.
though there is a large amount of un-
finished business on the docket
The responsibility for this delay and
retardation of justice lies mainly with
the Democratic House, which, in its
eagerness to make political capital,
has neglected to provide by appro-
priation the necessary funds for the
expenses of the courts of Justice
But while this is the case, there is
nevertheless much truth in some of
the criticisms of the Dubuque Herald
regarding the expenses of the court
and the manner of doing business
therein, called out by the discussion
OF this matter. There are serious
abuses connected with the United
States Court that need prompt atten-
ton, and there is ample room for the
practice of economy in its expenses.
While we do not doubt the honor
and integrity of Judge Love and
Marshal Chapman in the exercise of
their duty, we think it would be well
if they would abandon some of the
old presidents regarding the methods
of conducting the business of the
Court and strike out in a new path
of reform. There is too much of a
disposition to make business for the
Court when it is not called for, and
to multiply unnecessary expenses
We are doubtful if the expenses for
one week under the present state of
things, could be made to run the
Court three weeks, as stated by the
Herald, but we are confident that
much might be saved by judicious
management.

The Davenport Gazette is en-
phatically for a new deal within the
Republican party, and insists with
reason, that the great majority of the
party means to have new deal. 1t
says:
In the "new deal" thus resolved
upon and sure to be secured, the
political bummcrs who have hung on
to the Republican party for the sake
of post-traderships and stealings will
be drummed out of camp, and sent
whirling to the tune of "The Rogues
March," But ex-Rebels, ex-Confed-
crates, copperheads, and Democrats
acOn't be ordered to the front. Not
a bit of it. Our "new deal" simply
means, Honest Republicans to the
front! Dishonest Republicans to the
drum head, thence to political death
There is mighty little comfort for
the Cooleys and Hedricks, ct ID genus
onane in that paragraph.

The charges recently sent out by
the enemies of Mr.. Blaine, to the
effect that he received money from
the Union Pacific Railroad, were met
and completely refuted by him in a
speech in the House on Monday last,
wherein he emphatically denied all
the charges affecting his integrity and
personal honor, and produced indu-
bitable evidence that they were Who'll
ly false and malicious. Mr.. Blaine
must stand as fully acquitted of the
charge, and the reaction in the public
mind, occasioned by his manly and
triumphant vindication of his good
name, will undoubtedly give addi-
tional strength to his candidacy.

The Conservative expresses its
preference for the greasy fractional
currency before the bright silver
quarters and halves gust coming into
use. AS we are not permitted to be-
lieve that any printer is so encum-
bered with small change as to make
its carriage announcement in any form,
we are compelled to suppose that our
contemporary sacrifices its taste to its
principles. In this it differs with
Holman, of Indiana, one OF the most
inflexible hard money theorists in the
House, who, when it comes to prac-
tice, is quite different. We notice
that Holman was the first man in
Congress to ask the Sergeant-at-Arms
for silver after it's issue, the other

ALLUDING to an article contributed
to the columns of the Louisville
Coarier-Journal containing a sketch
of the life of Secretary Bristow and
his personal, professional, military
and official career, the State Register
says:
"We should think more of Mr.. Bristow
if he were vouched for in the South and
at his own home by better Republican
authority than the leading Democratic pa.
per of the South"
The inference designed to be con-
veyed in the above paragraph, is that
Mr.. Bristow is not vouched for at the
South by better Republican authori-
ty than the C0urier-Journal, an in
ference which the Register knows to
be false, and the suggestion of which
does no credit to its fairness. Fur
thermore, there is nothing in the
KeylSter'S attitude toward Secretary
Bristow heretofore that gives assur-
ance that it would do him justice
under any circumstances. 1t has con
tinually followed him with sneefing
inucndoes and disparaging illusions
infinitely more contemplate, because
more cowardly than direct accusa-
ton. 1t would probably resent a
suggestion that it does this because
the Secretary has unearthed the ras.
cality of gang of thieves and
scoundrels, among whom were some
Republican office holders, but if this
is not the true cause, it is difficult to
tell what it is.

THE DEBORAH Republican of last
week pays merited compliment to
the official integrity and efficiency of
Capt. Jas. E. Simpson of that place,
Internal Revenue Agent, which it
gives US pleasure to endorse and
verify from our own knowledge of
the man. Mr.. Simpson is not ambi-
tious for newspaper mention OF praise,
but we are convinced that the Gov
eminent has no more faithful or skill
full officer in Iowa than he. In these
days, when the press is compelled to
note the delinquenc,es of SO many
men of easy virtue and facile con-
sciences, it is but just that generous
praise should be accorded to a public
officer who faithfully and honestly
performs his trust.
