How Is THIS FOR CHEEKi-The house of Col.
C. B. Wilkinson, of St. Joseph, was destroyed by
the late storm. For this he is entitled to SYM
pathy, upon the common ground of humanity I;
but he is reported by the papers as having deliv-
cred himself of the following speech, in view Of
his troubles:
"A little while ago the Government swooped down
and robbed me of nearly all had, then the burglar
came and took all my souvenirs of better days. and
now, by an act of Providence, all the rest is swept
away There is nothing left to me but death. l
would to God that would come"
As far rs his remarks censure the burglars and
Providence, We have nothing to say. The first
are not entitled to defence, and the other can
take care of itself. But the reference to Govern
ment robbing him, is q little bit cool. He was
twice appointed to lucrative Government off
ice, and both times defrauded the Government.
The last time, his frauds were SO great, that he
fed, and became a fugitive. He was caught,
and property taken from him to refund his steal
ings The liberty he now enjoys, is at the clem-
ency of the Government; yet he stands up and
utters complaints against the Government for
roJbing him! Such man had better die; but
he is so ease-hardened that if Providence should
launch bolt at him, in all likelihood it would
glance off, and kill some honest man.

And won my Marys heart in thee
o, the broom the bonnie. bonnie broom.
In the woods of craigielea;
Shall never see its golden bloom,
Or the berries the rowan-tr tree;
Or hear in the morn from the Aow'ring thorn,
The song that the black birds sing
While the cuckoos notes through the Wildwood hoat,
As he welcomes the coming Springl
Only in dreams. drink from the streams
Where the cool sweet waters flow,
Or lave my hands where the silver sands
Belt the banks where the gewans grow;
And my heart cries out in its home sick pain,
For the braes where my childhood Played
For the winding path by the water side,
And the fragrant birchtree's shade.
For 1 love the skies, where my childish eyes
First caught the light of day
And watched upon the green hillside
The heeting shadows play;
And love the sod where my footsteps trod.
As the bird its native tree
As the sailor sishs for the beaconlght,
Sailing home from the Western Sea.
Oh, heathery hills, in your mantles brown,
Shall climb your heights morei
All, yes, for know that a day must dawn
That will open my prison door;
Then my soul, set free like bird shall hee
To the braes where my childhood played
shall haunt the hills shall drink from the rills,
And rest in the fr.tree's shade.
And, light as the mist in the morning gray,
Floating tarn and fell,
shall brush the dew from the tender fern
And the bloom from the heather-bell
When my spirit free like bird may flee
Far away to my native shore,
shall drink from the streams that haunt my dreams
And sigh for my home more.

y The financial excitement now is regarding
the remonetization Of silver, and the restoration
ofthe silver dollar. 1t is being fought bitterly
by the Eastern capitalists as the greenback was,
but silver is bound to win. The Ohio Republi-

can carry the coming election, is upon silver
platform. As they carried it on gold platform
two years ago, their views are modifying 1t
should be remembered, also, that their own Sem

silver wins the day, the next clamor will be for
greenbacks. That is what the country will have

~ Wade Hampton is now openly accused, by
leading Hayes papers, of having squarely violat-
ed his word, which he pledged to Hayes upon
condition that the President would place South
Carolina at his mercy. He has been hanging
and imprisoning negroes who were guilty of no
crime. In this connection, Southern papers
give notice that the color lines remains AZ it al
ways has been-thatis is, eolored people are not cit
liens, and have no rights. We are sorry to hear
this of the man who is to be the next Republi-
can candidate for Governor Of South Carolina,
and of the men who have been conciliated by
the Presidents betrayal of the Republicans of
the South.

IOWA On ..Mx PeItex..

As Republican State, the orthodoxy of Iowa
is iinquestioned and undoubted. She gives the
largest Republican majority Of any State in the
Union, and what she accepts and approves, may
be set down as genuine Republication. Last
week, the Iowa Republicans held their State
Convention-being the first State Convention of
any consequence since the precipitation of that
blessed business called Hayes Southern policy.
Although the ink was not yet dry in which the
order was written prohibiting Federal Office hold
ers from interfering in politics, George W. Nc
Crary, member of the Presidents Cabinet, and
an honored and trusted Republican of Iowa, was
dispatched home as envoy extraordinary to pro-
cure an endorsement by the Conventio n of the
Southern policy. At the same, time, the resi-
dent made it convenient to swing around the
circle in Massachusetts,, where, simultan eously
with the Iowa Convention, the people OF effete
and moss grown Massachusetts, with both eyes
on Southern trade, were oferingthe President
ovations consisting of much parade and no
heart. The mission of McCrary and the en-
thusiasm Of Massachusetts, certainly could not
fail to set Iowa ashOut for the President and his
policy. Let us see.
The resolutions declare against any lowering
of the Republican standard, but strict adherence
to all its principles, and equal and exact protec-
tion to all citizens of the United States, accord
ing to the amendments to the Constitution Sc
cured by the Republican party. As Republicans
in all the States should, they ommtted any ref
erence to the Southern policy, leaving Republi-
cans to entertain their own views, until the ex-
pertinent had been fully tried. But this was not
permitted. A policy man thrust in a resolution
endorsing the administration of Hayes. 1t was
decided to be ont Of order. Another person then
offered N amendment to resolution, declaring
that the principles of the Republican party
would best be carried out by an endorsement of
the Southern policy of President Hayes. 1t was
referred to the Committee on Resolutions. But
this would not do. Just before the adjournment,
the Hayes policy resolution was again offered,
and was tabled by an overwhelming vote.
And this is the sentiment of Iowa, in which
State, it has been claimed, the Republicans were
largely in favor of "My Policy" and that only q
few newspapers and politicians were opposed to
it. Another significant incident was, that Gov.
Packard was present, was called out for speech,
| and was vociferously cheered.
On the same day that the foregoing transpired,
| Democratic member of the New Hampshire
Legislature offered resolution endorsing "My
Policy" which was referred to q committee that
will never allow it to see daylight again-all the
Republicans voting for the reference, and all the
Democrats against it.
| And this is what one day has brought forth
relative to the "policy"

~ President Hayes has issued Ukase pro-
hibiting Federal officers from taking an active
part in politics. As the ofce-holdsrs and Office
seekers were about the only ones left who felt
in duty bound to endorse everything the Presi-
dent might do, this looks like kicking the stilts
from under himself

n Harvard University has made President
Hayes Doctor of Laws. We should think that
a man who claimed and accepted an Office upon
a certain vote, and virtually decided that Gov
ernors and Legislators elected by the same vote
are not legal and should not be sustained, was
more skillful doctor of laws than any of the
University fellows. But maybe that's why they
conferred the degree.

II We publish another letter from Gov. Rob-
inson, on the Weights and Measure act. The
Governors arguments are sound, and there may
be some value in his Law. However, by waiting

necessary articles at reasonable price. They
have already come from over $500 down to $2l5.

~ When Hayes gets sufficiently endorsed by
New England, he contemplates Southern trip,
to receive the plaudits of the people whom he
concliated at the sacrifice of his party. 1t will
be hard work for the people whom he has "cou-
ciiated" to disguise their real feelings sufficient
ly to treat him with common courtesy and de-
cency.
