that the California salmon planted
in a small stream one year ago last
February are now from four to nine
inches long; also from A. A. Mosher
of Spirit Lake, who says: "Those

who has seen any Of the salmon
planted in the Wapsie at this point
last year.

WE cordially subscribe to the fol
lowing proposition, laid down by the
Muscatine Journal "The success
which ought to attend the Presi-
dents policy is not that which mere
-ly brings triumph to his party, as a
party, but which secures and main
tains the chief and only honest pur-
pose of the party-the equal rights
of all before the law" And yet the
chief and only objection to the poll
cy urged by many Republican pa
-,pers, is that it will probably prevent
Me Republicans of the South from
'siinning party victories in the future.
Republican success is desirable ey-
erywhere, but the President would
not be worthy of his Office if he
should shape his policy solely to that
end.

THERE are reports of radical diff
fereuces between Secretary Of the
Treasury, Sherman, and Ex-Gov.
Carpenter of this State, who is Sec
ond Comptroller of his department.
The cause Of the disagreement as
stated, is the refusal of Carpenter to
report any body as incompetent or
inefficient in his bureau, in response
to a recent circular from the Secre.
taly. He says that he has no such
employees in his office. 1t is proba

The following item from the Ana.
mosa Journal, shows the uncertain.
ties and difficulties attendant upon
plscatorial sport down in the vicini-
ty OF the State Fish House!
Saturday afternoon citizen was
fishing from the shore near the dam
and had had moderate luck in taking
suckers, when he felt bite and pull
cd in a large black bass, probably
weighing three pounds or more
The law expressly provides against
taking bass from the streams at this
season of the year, but the tempta-
ton was great, and the citizen tossed
his victim upon the shore and let him
flop while he reached a mental deci-
sion respecting his fate, He had
nearly decided to reserve the fish
for the frying pan, when assistant
commissioner Slocum, who was eros
sing the bridge in a sulkey, and had
witnessed the whole proceeding,
jumped from his vehicle and ran
down the bank to where the fisher
man sat, and seizing the unlawtully
taken fish, threw 1t back into the wa
ter and retired without saying a
word. The citizen looked on in
mute establishment, but like the boy,
had nothing to say.

The implacable press are at this
time swapping up with avldity, every
foolish, Incorporate, or vindictive
paragraph, found in uninfuential
and reactionary Southern newspapers,

the non-success of the Presidents
policy, and proofs that the Southern
people are still disposed to deny the
negro his constitutional rights, and
to employ the methods Of violence
and intimidation in keeping him IN:

pered utterances Of the, for most

legitimate evidence on one side
of the question, the sentiments ex-

S. w. HEMENwAY, ESQ, Mayor of
Lansing, died in that city on Sunday
last, from the effects of an accident
which occurred on Thursday of last
week. While experimenting the
laying of the pipes of the Artesian
we'll in deep trench, the bank caved
in on him, breaking his right leg in
two places, and decorating one of his
arms. When extricated, he COM
planned of internal injuries, and con-
tinued to grow worse until he died
on Sunday in great agony. Mr..
Hemenway was an active and infiu'
entail citizen of Lansing, and he en-
joyed the sincere regard and conf.
dence of her people. He was Cap
tain of Co. B., 9th Iowa Volunteers
in the war, and as such, became
known and appreciated for his many
excellent qualities by many sol
diers from Buchanan county, who
served in the same regiment.

Hon. D. D. CHASE, Of Hamilton
county, formerly Judge of the 18th
Judicial District, is being prominent
ly mentioned by the press of the
Northern portion of the State as a
candidate for the Republican nomin'
alton for Supreme Judge, and the
suggestion seems to meet with warm
endorsement IN many quarters. From
all that we know of Judge Chase as
a man, of his record in official posi-
ton, and his eminent ability, we are
inclined to the opinion that no bet
ter nomination could be made
Judge Chase would make a very
strong candidate.

THE New York Tribune crowds
a good deal of sound sense into few
words in the following paragraph,
referring to the talk about a new
party. 1t is worthy Of notice that
the Tribune has learned something
from its own experience in 1872:
Parties are born, not made. The
man who evolves from his inner con-
seriousness three or four short planks,
which he thinks ought to be the
platform of new party, and then
sets himself to get three or tour mil
lions of fellow citizens to accept
his notions as their political gospel,
has before him long and unpromis'
ing job. When new party is need
ed, it will probably come into exis
tence unheralded and unexpected as
the expression of the common desires
already formed, not by few politi
Clans but by great many plain citi

The Davenport Gazette says that
if the same spirit that the Des Moines
Register exhibits was displayed in
other States as it is in Iowa-as for
tunately it is not-a break would be
inevitable, and the Republican party
would go where the Wing party
went thirty-five years ago-into mi
nority. 1t asks: If we are in the
frying pan-as the Register seems
to insist-shall we lump into the
fire? We answer no? Jumping in
to hot skillet, or into q heated fur
mace will not be at all necessary
The Republicans in Iowa will not
perpetrate that folly this year what
ever course the Register may pursue
toward President Hayes.

and accordingly, claims have been
staked off, and recorded, dams built

is very little probability, however
that the shining stuff is in sufficient
quantity to pay the time and expense
of securing it.

Indignant and disguised as we
are to see the government Of the
Southern States pass into the hands
of Confederate Democrats, we are
compelled to confess that there was
no other course open to the Presi-
dent. There was only one way IN
which the Packard government
could be maintained in Louisiana,
and that was by the army. Without
the support Of the Federal Govern
ment its case was hopeless. Left ia
its own strength it could not collect
a dollar of taxes, nor pay one OF its
officials; it could not execute writ
or enforce a law; it could not pro-
tect life or confirm title to property
Would Packard have been stronger
IN year, or in two years, or in ten
Would he ever have been strong
enough to sustain himself withou,

meptY Nobody claims that he
would; in fact, the contrary Is gen
orally admitted. What then? Had
the general government any con
stitutional authority to indefinitely
perpetuate Mr.. Packard's govern
ment by armed force. These arc
questions which cannot be ignored
in any candid consideration of the
subiect.-MonticsH0 Egnress
