THE Muscatine Jommai although
strongly opposed to the policy, is not so
wilfully blind that it cannot recognize
any good that may flow from it. 1t
says:
The best evidence that we have seen of the
Southern people accepting the Presidents pol
icy in good faith is the fact that fifteen persons
have been indicted for participation in the
Chisholm massacre in Kemper county, Miss
They will be arrajgned for trial next March.
The anti-policy press has made the
most of the refusal of the Kemper coun-
ty authorities to indict the Chisholm
murderers, as indicating the failure Of
Cancellation. 1t is, therefore, but just
in the Journal to'count the later action
of the authorities as evidence of the
success of the policy.

The Dubuque Democracy have nomi-
mated NJ. NJ. Ham, of the Dubuque Her.
aid, as their candidate for State Senator.
We have, of course, no sympathy with
Bro. Hams politics, and have often had
occasion to take serious exceptions to
his political methods, but, personally, he
is genial gentleman of more than aver
age ability, and with capacity and judy
ment to make an excellent legislator.
We are decidedly of the opinion that
the Dubuque Democracy could not have
made a better selection from their
ranks.

Mr. SPANGLER illustrates his lack of
information on the subjects he discuss
es before the people, by declaring that
greenbacks are taxable, a proposition
the reverse of true. This being the
case, let us see how Mr.. Spanglers the
cries will work He wants the national
bank notes, that are taxable, wiped out
of existence, and the greenbacks, on
which no tax is levied, substituted in
their place. This would reduce the tax
able moneys and credits Of the country,
1915, 100000, which, at the usual rate of
taxation. contributes from nine to ten
millions toward the expenses of the
government 1t would exempt the mon
ey in the hands of the rich man and
make up the deficiency by increased
leyies on all other kinds of property.
Under the present state OF affairs, mon
ey bears it's due share Of the burdens of
taxatiea Do honest Greenbackers de-
sire change that involves its immunity

GAU, HAMILTON saws.

It is the first duty of woman to be lady.
Good breeding is good sense. Bad manners is
in woman immortality. Awkwardness may be
ineradicable. Bashfulness is constitutional.
Ignorance of etiquette is the result of circum-
stances. All can be condoned, and do not ban
ish men and women from the amenities of
their kind. But self-possesscd, unshrinking,
aggressive coarseness Of demeanOr may be
tainly merits that mild form of restraint called
imprisonment for life.
If there is any better illustration of
aggressive coarseness' than Gail Ham
ilton's recent political letters in the
New York Tribune, we have failed to
see it. 1t is we'll for the vinegary spin
ster that the penal code above indicated
is not in force.

A representative of the New York

interview him relative to Conkling s
Convention. He found the Secretary
seated amidst the ruins of the Patent
office, refectively viewing the scene.

made known, when his manner changed,

WE have read, with some interest,
both sides of the bitter controversy be-
tween Parson Lozier and his assailants,
but can come to no satisfactory conclu-
sion as to the merits of the ease, if it
has any merits. 1t looks to us like a
dirty squabble, without much regard for
truth or decency on either side, and
though we are no admirer of the Rev.
John Hogarth Lozier, we are of the
opinion that, shaken in bag with some
of his assailants, there would be little to
choose between them.

If the Democrats will get over the idea that
it is impossible to elect their ticket in this State,
one great obstacle in the way of accomplishing
that fact will be removed. dubuque Herald.
Just so; and if man would get over
the idea that it was impossible for him
to jump over the house, one great OBJ
stacle, &c. The trouble is that the
Democracy have tried to elect their
ticket too often, and through all man
ner of indirections and affiliations, and
always failed, to make it easy to get in
to the sanguine frame Of mind indicated
BY the Herald.

Chaff and MOOnShine.

The New York Star, an organ of the
working classes, thus incisively charac-
terizes the Greenback lunacy:
It is left to these times, after we have
safely passed through the vicissitudes
and dangers of a great internal war, and
when peace reigns and no necessities of
a fiscal nature press upon us, with enor-
nous national production and unbound
ed national credit, to find class of men
who still idiotically dream that success,
prosperity, growth, solvency, production,
every element of national wealth and
greatness, depend upon the extinguish-
ment of all the banks Of issue in the
country, and an indefinite supply of IL
redeemable notes issued by the Wash
ington Treasury They go far beyond
the old heresy of issuing redeemable
Government paper, and champion the
monstrous folly of issuing Government
promises to pay, which are never to be
redeemed. They advocate the issue of
chaff and moonshine, stamped and legal
lied as money 1t is ink and paper, and
nothing more 1t costs nothing and is
worth nothing; and yet forty millions of
intelligent people are told that they
must receive it as money, and they are
besides, insulted with the declaration
that this alone can save them from indi-
vidual and national bankruptcy.

We would like to have our Greenback
friends consider upon the real situation
of matters at this moment We refer
to such of them as have not yielded en-
tirely to the crazy cross-winds of Green
back infationism. Only one year ago
our currency was IA per cent. discount.
Within six months from that time gold
had dropped to l09-more than one
third Of the difference between coin and
paper having been outgrown by the nat
ural influence of the laws Of trade In
July last gold was down to 106-a de-
cline OF one per cent per month, and
now, after a lapse of three more months
the price is only 1913 to 1881. Here we
are almost at the point of equivalence
between coin and paper; the great gulf
many years has been almost filled up
and the two classes of currency separa-
ted only by a span.
When gold was at ia a year ago the
reckless and half crazed infationists
never tired of bawling at the street cor
ners that any considerable reduction of
the gold premium, by and under the OPP
Grafton of then existing influences and
laws, would bring sudden and fatal
bankruptcy upon the business of the
country, and wreck the ship of State.
Three-fourths of that premium has been
cut away by these natural and undis-
turbing influences, only fraction over
three per cent of margin remaining. and
yet the shipwreck of business has not
only not come, but an actually better
condition of things exists at this hour
than the country has known during the
past three years VIII the more ration
al of those who think themselves Green
hackers sit right down to half hours
reflection upon these very significant
facts? AS your predictions Of ruin
prove to have been entirely erroneous,
is it not infcrable that your entire theo-
ry rests only on the baseless fabric of a
dream?- Dujuque Times
