" LITTLE CHILDREN.'

KEEP guard on your words my daringS,
For words are wonderful things;
They are sweet, like the bees fresh honey.
Like the bees, they have terrible stings.
They can bless like the warm, glad sunshine,
And brighten a lonely life;
They can cut in the strife Of anger
Like an open, two.edgcd knife.
Let them pass through your lips unChalcngod
II their errand is true and kind;
Ifthoy come TO support the weary.
To comfort and help the blind.
liza bitter, revengcful spirit
Prompts the words. let them be unsatd:
They may flash through brain like lightning
Or fall on heart like lead
Keep them back If they're COLI and cruel,
Under bar, and lock and seal;
The wounds they make, my darlings.
Are always slow to heal.
May peace guard your lives, and ever,
From this time of your early yuu'h
May the words that you daily utter
Be the beautiful words of truth.

A SPEECH BY SENATOR BAYARD.
CELEBRATING THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE
OF NEW ORLEANS

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. Yesterday, being
the anniversary Of the battle of New Orleans,
was celebrated by the Democratic Campaign
Club of this CITY with a reception and banquet
at the Girard House. John D. Dohnert the
former President of the Old Hickory Club.
presided. Near him sat Senator Bayard OF
Delaware, ex Mayor F4ux, Senator Foster Of
Connecticut, aud other weil-known gentle
men. Over two hundred were at the table.
The elaborate banquet was followed by
thirteen toast5, beginning with "AndreW
Jackson" and including 1.-The Victory at
New Orleans" "Ihe Federal Government,
g. Free Churches AID Free Schools, Consti
tutional Money" etc. Senator Bayard spoke
to the fourth toast, 1.-THE Federal Congress
the representative, Of the sovereignty Of the
States and the maj ority OF tue people In coun-
Gil. The func ion OF representation must not
be usurped through fraud or force, under the
pretext of political or military necessity"
The Senator after referring to the coming
Centennial celebration, devoted himself closely
for an hour to the abuses and misgovernment
which the American people had been wit
Messing for the past ten years. He described
the original structure of our National Gov
ernment, with It's checks, guards and rcser-
vations, and the course of perversion and
decentralization through which it had been
passing Passing on to other points. he
denied power III Congress to control the
banking System Of the country. and
expressed the opinion that it must
be regulated by the different Stvte9 before
our system Vi fiaaNce and banking Can attain
stability or security. He called tor return
to hard money Currency, and protested
against Senator Morton's pending resolution
to create an inguisition into the domestic
affairs of Mississippi, a. one that would leave
our government not a Federal Government of
thirty eight States, but single centralized
government not a Union, cut a unit. The
Senator closed his very interesting address
with q forcible reference TO the deplorable con-
dtion OF outraged Louisiana Telegraph 10

Our Great Cause of Financial Depression

Gov. Tilden, Of New York, in his annual
message, says one other great cause Of our
commercial misfortunes is to be found in the
impoverishment of the South. That is re-
gion five times as large as the British Isles
1t produces four-tenths of our exported com-
modities (specie excepted), and the most i'm
portant raw material Of our domestic manu-.
features. 1t is our best market, and the source
Of an immense part Of our commercial transac-
tons. Yet that region has been completely
paralyzed by ignorant and corrupt govern
ment and enormous taxation.
The burden of the taxes has in some cases
confiscated the entire income of property !;
and long after the system of administration
became abhorred by all intelligent and viz
tuous people it was maintained by the favor
and patronage of the Federal Government,
by the moral coercion Of its prestige, by the
standing menace and occasional exercise of its
military power" This is palmer speech than
we are accustomed to hear in the message of a
Governor of New York, but it is the exact
truth, and it is fifty told.

War;.

Preparations for war between the Unite
States and Spain are openly going on.
telegram from Washington, semi Off cia
in it's tone, and undoubtedly official in it
origin, states that " the concentration of Ma
val vessels of Port r 1yal, South Carolina, i
in pursuance of o general plan of the Score
tary of the Navy to make that place the head
quarters Of the North Atlantic Station, as i
presents many advantages over any other por
on the Atlantic coast" The great, essentia
advantage which it possesses is then stated il
the following terms:
'The geographical position of Port Roya
makes it the central point of the North At
lantic station, and the vessels rendezvoused
there can reach Cuban waters, and the Gulf
where our interests most need to be looked
after, within tory-eight hours. 1t is the
policy of the Secretary of the Navy to have
our home squadron larger than any of those
abroad because he believes in being prepared
for any emergency out of the present diff cul-
ties on the Island of Cuba. While there is
no official announcement in regard to the
condition of affairs between this country and
Spain, it is believed, in well informed circles,
that the uncertain tenure which Spain has
upon that island may cause that government
to become involved in difficulty with the
United States when it sees it can no longer
hold the island, and thus part with it as q
matter of necessity"
So much for what is being openly done by
our government. According to this dispatch,
transparency emal atng from the Navy De-
partment, we are concentrating our available
naval force, within forty-eight hours of Cuba,
in anticipation Of war with Spain. The
fact and the motive are publicly avowed
Now for the other side. What is Spain
doing? Is she making any preparations? She
has appointed Gen. Jovellar, just now per-
haps the foremost man OF all Spain, Captain
u 3neral Of Cuba. Then we have very i'm
portant announcement in the following dis
patch by cable to the Herald:
"MADIID, Jan. S-The Spanish Govern
ment has ordered from Herr Krupp's foundry,
at ESSEN, six 1l-inch breech- loading steel
cannon, with six hun ired rounds Of ammuni.
ton. for delivery in Cuba at the earliest mo-
ment. The contract has been made at the
special request of Gen. Jovellar. Each gun
will cost $l20, 000."
What does this mean? OF what use will
these rified cannon be in fighting the insur-
gents, who pursue system Of warfare which
renders such guns practically Of little avail
They will be Of service, however, in oppos-
ing any interference on the part of the United
States; and we apprehend it is to that end
they have been ordered and are to be sent to
Cuba. And 1t is mainly with view to resist
the United States that Spain sends to Cuba
General and statesman whom she now SO
sorely needs at home.
When, few days ago, our scholarly con-
temporary, the World, insisted that we must
wait to see what Jovellar would do, somehow
that sounded to us more like the voice of
Spain than of the United States. If we wait,
we shall see. In fact, We begin to see already.

which bristles with free gold. The
piece weighs about Is pounds and is

This was from the Alpha mine and
specimens of the same are now on ey-
hibition in Philadelphia.

A Runaway Match.

Last Tuesday Mr.. Herbert Fairall,
city editor of the Iowa City Repub-
Hcan, and Miss Lille Adams, daugh-
ter of one of the foremost farmers of
johnson county, fully expected
to be joined in matrimony at
the residence of the brides parents.
Everything was in readiness for the
ringing of the marriage bells, and ex-
tensive preparations had been made,
but the stern parents of the bride
stepped in and forbade the bans.
Love laughs at such obstacles, how
ever, and the couple determined that
their marriage should only be delay
ed a short time. The young lady quiz
city arose in the middle Of the night,
and made her way by means Of a
carriage, arranged for beforehand,
to the nearest railroad station, aud
arrived in this city at the residence of
her brother. ID. c. Adams. The pa
rents were not aware Of her depart
ure until she had nearly reached this
city. Wednesday morning Mr.. Fair
all, the expectant bridegroom, ar
rived here. The young lady's parents
brought tho telegraph into requisi-
ton and endeavored to induce her to
return, but it was useless. Last even
ing the pair were united in matrimo-
ny at the residence of the Rev. Adams,
but prior to the ceremony tho stern
parents telegraphed their consent and
all was merry. The couple left last
evening by the midnight train for
Iowa City, where they will remain a
couple of days, and then will take a
tour in the east. The bride is young
lady of many graces, and has cxhib-
tied pluck and determination in her
perseverance in this marriage despite
the opposition of her parents. She
will make Mr.. Fairall, who has won
considerable distinction as a journal.

Stanley Matthews, Views.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 2l.-,Judge Stan
ley Matthews, republican candidate
for Congress in the Second Ohio dis
trict, returned yesterday, and to-day
day received official notice of his
nomination. He accepted the nomi-
nation. Tonight he was serenaded
at his residence, in Glendale, by his
political friends from neighboring
village, and he made to them speech
of about half an hours length, in
the course of which he made the
points that the mission Of the repub-
lican party is not ended, and will not
be until men of any state can go into
any other state and declare their po-
litical opinions without the penalty
of ostracism. The democratic party,
with sectional strength in the south,
he did not regard as likely to make
1t possible for northern republican
to 60 south and avow his political
opinions with safety. Concerning the
candidates, he desired to correct a
misapprehension in regard to Hayes
II had been said against him that he
lacked force of character. On the
contrary, from a close ACQUAINTANCE
with him from boyhood, at college,
the speaker thought force Of charac.
ter was his distinguishing trait. As
to Tilden, he argued that his surrend.
er to Hendricks in his letter of &C.
ceptance, shows him to be a creature
to be managed in the interest of hi:
party. In conclusion, he said he
should conduct the coming campaign
on q plane of argument and reason
and not descend to personal detrac.
ton.

LOOK at the parallel. Buchanan
was an old, worn-out, selfish bachelor.
So is Tilden. Buchanan did profess
to have loved a woman when he was
young and manifested q feminine
fondness when he was old, but no
woman ever looked upon him and
wished that Heaven had made her
such q man. The aversion to the
other sex is so strong in Tilden's sell
fish, cold, and cgotistical composition
that he has gone from infancy almost
into second childhood untouched by
the common passion of all humanity.
Wrapped up in himself, worshipping
at the altar Of Mammon, feeding upon
the greed of miserly acquisition,
deadened to all the promptings of
sexual affection, no woman will miss
him when he is gone, and no child
will bear his name or cherish his
memory. The absence of the common
instinct Of humankind fitted these
two men for treason, stratagems, and
spoils, and the issue Of their lives
shows how completely they realized
this fitness.-Chicago Tribune.

These losses occurred in the Inter
nal Revenue Department in the main,
right under the nose of John M
Binkely, who was then the Govern
mcnt officer whose duty it was under
the law, to prosecute these thieves
and yet the public never heard of An
drew johnson or his Solicitor of the
Treasury, Binkley, inaugurating
whisky war at the time. He is EVIL
IDENTIFY long range reformer.
The public should bear in mind,
however, that these losses which
Binkley seems to have just dis
covered, occurred mainly in failure
to collect what he estimates the tax to
have been ON the taxable spirits made
during that period, being some such
loss as the Hoosier suffered In not
having hogs enough to cat all the
acorns in the woods.
If the Democrats can derive any
satisfaction from Binkley's figures,
covering the Democratic administra-
ton of Andrew johnson. when he
was the prosecuting officer, compared
with those of Grants, when he was
not, as shown in his own speech, then
they are easily satisfied.

Beautles Of Life In Arizona.

An eastern gentleman engaged in
mining in Arizona, writes as follows:
ssThc weather is hot beyond belief.
Never, think, less than 80 degrees in
the shade, and from that up to 100
degrees. There is no lumber in the
country and all the building has to be
done with cottonwood poles, and
hauled five miles, on iackasses, to the
mine. In addition, have had to pack
water five miles, as we have had no
rain, and tho tanks at the mines are
exhausted. We have now killed three
rattle snakes in the house, besides any
quantity OF scorpions, etc. In OPEN
ing my trunk was stung in the fin
ger by scorpion; bound poul-
tice of onions and tobacco ON the
wound and drank three full pints of
whisky. 1t made me very drunk,
and think killed the other poison,
although my whole hand and arm
was numb for day or two. 1t is q
pretty hard country, and three men
have already died Of thirst near here.
NV last letters were sent here from
the---mine (only IA miles distant)
by an old Scotchman. The letters did
not arrive and We searched for him
and found him dead, only four miles
from camp. lie was stripped and his
nails were worn from his hands BY
scratching in the sand for water
We have sent out twice and brought
in men who were crazy and blind and
speechless from thirst. The sun il
terribly hot, and the rocks so no,
that they blister the flesh if touched. ,

Insanity In the United States.

~ss@sASc Ds AsouSoOup III GtItubcE iuE ceptriuoSI.
The country seems suddenly throng.
ed with insane people, and we are apt
to be impressed with the belief that
this dread disease is largely OH the in
crease. But the probable fact is that
no such increase really exists, It is
not unnatural that, mainly out of fam
lily pride, the questions of the census
takers are often evaded, and the rela-
tives Of the unfortunate patient, see-
ing no benefit to come from revealing
this skeleton in the closet" keep il
from observation. But, promptly,
when an asylum is opened within
their reach, free to all without pay,
the curtain is drawn and they come
forward with their afflicted.
hThat insanity does not increase,
pro rata, at least in the United States,
is proven by tho census returns for
the past twenty years. In 1850 this
country hada a population of %, l9l, :
876, and total number of insane and
idiots, of 81, 1897, or in 37S. In 1860,
with q population of 81, 443, 1922, there
were 1864 insane and idiots, or l in
1893. And in 1870, with a population
of IS, ,555, 1888, there were 81 800 of that
class, or ! in 623. In England during
the same period, there was an aver.
age of about in $50; in Scotland, ]
in 400; In Ireland, ! in 400; in France
l in 600; and in Australia, in 524
These reports, if accurate, show a ia
vorable condition in this country as
compared with that of others.
