Iowa Press Association,

The Marshall Republican says:
John Mahin, President of the
Iowa Press Association, has been
trying to organize an excursion fol-
the editors of Iowa into Texas, re
turning by way of New Orleans. We
suggest another route, if that fails,
which is to go to Lake Minnetonka,
near Minneapolis, one Of the mos,
pleasant spots in all the Western
country. The trip could be extend
ed to Dulnth, and from there over
the Northern Pacific Railroad to the
Red River country. 1t would be a
magnificent trip.

Mr.. CHAIRMAN LEIGHTON of the
Republican State Central Committee,
is getting some pretty severe raps
from leading Republican journals, for
the officious and rhetorical gush ap-
pended to the call for the State Con-
vention, In which he proposed to
frame platform for the party IN adj
vance of the Convention. The Du-
buque Times informs him that che
was not expected to frame and pro-
mulgate the Republican platform,
that being the province of the Con
vention. The Sioux City Journal,
emphasizes the same opinion, and
the Davenport Gazette, in comment
ing upon these expressions, says
''Mr. Leighton will do we'll If he
should now heed and profit by these
utterances. Unquestionably, he has
been altogether too generous in his
offerings of personal 'inwardness.' y

THERE was II rattling alarm of fire last
Monday evening, about 1 o'clock, and
very prompt rally of the fire department,
caused by the discovery of an incipient
conflagration in an old shed used as Il
place to store agricultural machinery, in
the rear of Conable's wig-wam. The ex-
peditious manner in which the fircmen
came to the rescue, prevented it from get
ting much Roadway, and the consequent
loss was small The general opinion is
that it was the work of an lncendiary, as
no light was known to have been used
about the premises that night.

The extent of unmitigated swash
dealt out to suffering newspaper
readers in some localities, in refer
erence to the Louisiana case, is well
illustrated by the following:
If the same sublimely wise counsels
had prevailed in 1861, President
Lincoln would have conciliatcd the
Charleston mob by Withdrawing the lit
tie company of U. S. troops from Stump
ter, and thus bloodshed would have been
averted. Bless us, how we do
get on in the way of learning wisdom,
and what fools and hot-heads they were
in 81.
The wonders of that political
acumen which can discover an anal.
ogy between a deliberately armed
revolt against the National Govern
ment, for the express purpose of sus-
tanning an ordinance of secession
from the Union, and a contest for
supremacy between rival parties and
factions in State, is certainly be-
yond the reach of ordinary mortals.
In or about the Office of the Newton
Journal, however, may be found one
to whom all this is as plain as pike
staff. We note this fact for the es
pecial information of the curious stu.
dent of constitutional law and pc
litical jurisprudence. - Davenport

they did Gen. Grant upon his as

the Germans in Paris, in the war of
1870, and for which Germany now
tenders him a $4,000 testimonial as
a mark of her gratitude to him for
his labors in behalf of her citizens
The Jews form large portion of
our community, and having among
them many men of highest intellect

of strength. One of them, Simon
Wolf, is our recorder OF deeds,
who went into the political field last
summer to stump for Mr.. Hayes

TIE Conservative relents enough to say
that the Philharmonic Club concert was
''good, but not extraordinary, but it
thinks ''en the WHOLE" that it did not
reach the expectation of our citizens"
which reminds lis of the story of the
rough and ready mayor of town in
Ohio, now great city, some twenty
years ago, who went to one of Ole Bulls
concerts. He sat and listened all through
the mastery performance of the great
violinist, but he too began to have it dawn
on his mind that the concert did not
"rcach the expectations" of one "citizen,
namely, his Honor, the Mayor, and when
it was over, he delivered himself in this
wise: 1--WE got another tickit to this
humbug consarn. and III sell 1t far gin
cecktail. Why tell We, there's fellers
sailin' an this canal that kin beat that fellel
all to pieces fiddlin'," at the same time Civ
ing a contemptOus toss of his thumb a
the great artist, who was just leaving tho
stage. This unique and hefty criticism
ought to have squelched Ole Bull but hi
kept right on giving concerts to grca
erawds Of delighted people, and winning
fame and fortune. So the Philharmonic
Club will probably continue to ministe
to the delight and satisfaction Of bach
woods settlements, like New York an(
Boston, Notwithstanding the judgment
that they are mot extraordinary

The PRESIDENT. Confidence.

The following report of an inter-
view had with President Hayes by
Ed. Cowles, Of the Cleveland Lead
er, which we find in the Washing
ton dispatches of the 9th, indicates
that the Presidents faith in the wis
dom of his Southern policy, and con-
tidence in its ultimate success, is not
one whit abated by the opposition
to it in certain quarters:
Mr.. Cowles told the President tn at
the dissatisfaction among the Ohio
Republicans at the Southern policy,
is so great as to probably result in
the State being lost to the Republi-
cans in October next, by the Repub-
licans refusing to vote. The Presi-
dent evinced no surprise at this, but
said that, although temporary defeat
might be encountered at the polls, in
the end the party would be stronger
than ever. The politics of the coun-
try are in a diseased condition, and
require severe treatment to be made
healthy again-not unlike the treat.
ment extended by surgeons to per-
sons who have diseased limbs. The
course taken by the surgeon is severe
but is the only course left to save the
life OF the patient. The President
said that he entertained no doubt of
the success of his policy, which will
destroy the color-line in politics, and
bring the best men in both parties to
the front. He expected that the Re-
publicans would certainly carry
North Carolina and Tennessee at the
next election, and already the Dem
ocratic party in South Carolina is
showing signs of breaking up. He
expected that Hampton would pur-
sue such a course that two years
hence the Republicans will be glad
to nominate and run him as their
candidate for Governor. The Pres
ident said that he also believed that
the Republicans would carry LOUIS
lana at the next election, and that
the Democratic party in that State
will not be able to hold together
These, he said, will be the fruits of
the Southern policy, which just now
is not acceptable to all Republicans.

THE GOVERNMENT PRINTER.

John D. Defrees, the new ap-
pointee, bears his honors meekly,
but already has experienced some of
the affections which render his office
like that of the executive depart
ment, burdensome one indeed
Scores of women call on him daily,
pleading with tears in their eyes, and
most pitiful stories of their poverty
and sufferings, for appointment as
folders, feeders, anything which
would give them bread. But as he
is powerless to aid, because his force
must also be reduced, he can do no
more than listen and rebuff. The
recent discharge from the Treasury,
furnished these unfortunates to Mr..
Defrees, and not until the great sea
of life shall have absorbed them in
some other channel, will they cease
to importune for government posi-
tons.
