Iowa Railway LAW

Some one haze taken the pains 10 get,
direct from the books of the G. Il.
and q. Railway Company, the entire
figures for through-freight Shipments
from Iowa in 1876. The following is
the substance of the use made of
them:
While the Legislature has
reduced the rates on freight taken up
and put down within the State from
80 to - percent, the railroad con-
panies have increased the rates OH
through freight enough TO compensate
for this reduction, and il is well
known that through freights comprise
a large proportion of the traffic Of the
roads. This increase of rates the
Legislature has no power to affect,
hence the law and the decision of the
courts are of little or no practical
value. To show what this Granger
law has cost the farmers of Iowa, it
is only necessary to give the excess
paid on grain and live stock shipped
over the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy road in 1879, in Iowa:
Pounds of grain. ..,............54 al, 81, 239

Education.

Prof 7. G. Arnold, principal of the
Cloverport High School, lectured to the
school teachers of Breckenridge county
at Hardinsburg on the night of the 10Th
of July. The Teachers Institute had
been in session two days. and as it would
close the next day, Prof Arnold thought
1t would be very appropriate time, but
to his regret, many of the teachers left
before the lecture. Prof Arnold is n
young man. and there is q native modes,
~ IN his manners and appearance that
makes him agreeable. and his language
and department during his address was
sufficient proof that he is a man OF high
culture, both morally and intellectually

Many Of our readers will remember
Prof Arnold as the very efficient assists
ant of Prof w. D. Hayward, in the
select school here in 1923.

have two weeks to visit them, and thence

ate this favor. The people of Ohio

paper, | have said. and will say it again
that it is the best county paper that
ever read. Certainly every citizen in the
county ought to rally to its support. The
history of the early times as furnished by

is worth more than the cost Of the paper.

The following explains itself:

The following explains itself:
| hereby announce my withdrawal, for
the present. and perhaps, for all time
from the farmers Home Journal. Those
who know the earnestness with which |
have discharged my editorial duties on
this paper, and the devotion have Civ
en- it, can appreciate the profound sorrow
| feel in writing these farewell words.
But the ownership of the paper is in liti-
cation, and, until the points in dispute
arc settled, there is nothing that can do
probably 10 myself or others. | am
sure that the Home Journal will always
have my warmest wishes for its success.
1t has been true friend to the farmers,
and it deserves, at their hands. a support
more liberal than il has ever received.
II the Home Journal is permitted to per-
ish, the class for whose good and in who.e
interest it has been conducted will Ne the
chief sufferers. Thus far, my chief re-
ward as an editor has come to me in the
form of friendship, and am not of those
who put light value on this. On the
contrary, | prize it greatly-prize it
above gold, because know that toll can
win the latter; but only that true, man-
ly, faithful character, which is above all
material wealth, can win the former.

The defeat of Mr.. Coleman conno

The defeat Of Mr.. Coleman connot
he considered Republican victory.
There are many circumstances con-
necte,l with the hate canvass which ex-
plains the success Of the opposition
and pallintcs the chagrin and mortifi-
cation Of defeat.
The principles of Democracy are as
pure as the limpid waters ripping from
the mountain glacier, and, whenever
strictly cOnformcd to, political and re-
ligious liberty is the certain conse-
quence, and blessings and prosperity
will crown the nation as TIE natural
reward Of its success. Ii was, without
question, the intention of the trainers
Of the Constitution that this Republic
should be nation of sovereigns-that
each sovereign should exercise exclu-
sve control over his own judgement,
and il was natural TO suppose that a
love Of liberty and justice would guide
and shape that judgement for the good
and prosperity of civil liberty, and that
a nation Of freemen, each cherishing
and 1ealously guarding the germ Of
civil and political life, would harmo-
nize by u natural consanguinity, there
by forming a tower of strength which
no earthly power would be able TO over
throw.-"In unity there is strength, "
and in Democracy there is liberty.
Without unity of thought, without
unity Of action there is certain defeat,
the consequence of which we are all
familiar, in the utter destruction and
and obliteratiun of constitutional lib
crty in several of the States of this
Union. The defeat of Mr.. Coleman
was encompasscd by means which
should never have been employed; the
sacrifice was too great for the end ac-
complished, and should be a warning
that may hereafter be the means Of
uniting the Democracy, and showing
the absolute necessity of every voter
exercising the suffrage demanded aud
expected Of him as a duty he owes
himself, his party and his country.
DR.. MeadOr, as a private citizen, we
have no reasonable objection to. We
have found him ever pleasant and
courteous gentleman; but, as the rep
resentative of party so antasonistic to
the principles of a faith, which has,
from time immemorial, showered bless
ings upon the heads of its devotees, we
had rather he had been defeated; not
through any personal feeling we have
against him, but from the certainty
that his political convictions are in
conflict with the true principles of
American freedom, and that their ex-
errise may be detrimental to its growth.
Defeat is the sure after-runner of
a disregard Of public sentiment, and
apathy 10 party, however confident
in its own strength, is certain to lead
10 disaster. The will of the people is
not to be triAed with to gain ends not
IN common with the interests of the
majority, but which may in some re-
spect be construed as selfish. The
strength of Democracy is in union, in
harmony, and, when this is made
the watch-word. success will spread
her banners to the breeze of victory.
Disregard this talismanic truth, and
the grand old party will again enact
the same suicidal results as that which
closed the campaign of August 9th.
