The staunch Republicans OF Iowa and
of several other States simply need to
learn these things: First, that Presi-
dent Hayes is not responsible for the
fact, proved under Grants administra-
ton, that colored majority cannot GOV
em a Southern State against the will OF
u united white minority, without the aid
of a standing army; second, that neither
the Constitution, the laws, nor public
opinion would permit the permanent use
Of Federal troops to holster upa State
Government which was chronically una
bic to enforce or even defend itself
against tho minority; third, that not one
Of the Presidents critics has named or
can name Il course which he could have
pursued toward South Carolina and
Louisiana which would have kept those
States Republican another two years
without at the same time burying his
administration and the Republican par
ty in common and overwhelming de-
feat. We may we'll be indignant over
tho forcihle and often murderous sup
preston by Southern Democratic minor
tiles, but we cannot afford to quarrel
with President who simply recognizes
an accomplished fact and refuses to
wreck his party and his administration
in vain and foolish fight against histo-
ry. Let us follow reason for while, -

THE State Register is informed that
the BULLETIN supports Mr.. Gears can
didacy only as . the alternative of some
thing a great deal worse" and it may be
assured that there are great many
thousand Republican voters in Iowa il
the same fix. As to the BULLETIN S
remarks upon the . head of the ticket
and the manner of his nomination, we
notice that the Register finds it good
deal more convenient to misrepresent
than to answer them.

1t is reported that the Solicitor Gen,
eral of the United States has discovered
an old crown law that provides, among
other penalties, that blasphemers and
drunkards shall be bored through the
tongue. Let us imagine then, (for the
law is said to be still in force) the pun:
ishment of Don Piatt. The Sutro and
Hoosac tunnels would be magnificent
play compared with getting hole
through Piatt's tongue. First cotfer
dam then drill. If Piatt's tongue is
tunpeled it will be easy work with Con,
gressmen and disappointed office-seek-

They were just starting for picnic ;
the huge basket was slowed away under
the seat, and the word was given to
" Dobbin to git, and he got not at the
usual gait, but, too anxious to get to the
picnic, shot around the corner like a
streak of creased lightning, upsetting
the buggy and dumping a jar of pickles,
loaf of cake, two dozen biscuits, small
piece Of cheese, part of a cold tongue, a
young lady and gentleman rather uncer-
enormously up against fence. No
great amount Of damage was done. The
young man is rapidly recovering from
his fainting fit, but the cake never will
look nice again, and only one of the bis
cnits can be found.

Reynolds, at Watsons bank for sale
The bank refused to buy, when he offer;
ed it as collateral for a loan of $1,000
at the Loan and Trust Co. Bank, and
succeeded in drawing the money, after

THE Washington correspondent Of the
New York Tribune says that There
seems to be more harsh criticism of the
new Southern policy in Iowa than in all
the rest of the country put together.
The correspondent has been deceived by
acoustic effects. There few able
bodied and well-practiced shriekers out
here, to be sure, but the greater portion
of the apparent effect is due to the

THE dishonest pretense of the ant

THE dishonest pretense of the anti
policy papers of this State, endorsed
by the Inter- Ocean, that the Republican
State Convention squarely repudiatec
the Southern policy, is thus refuted by
Judge Frost, of Belle PLANE, in letter
to the Inter- Ocean:
Twas present at the Republican State
Convention on the 9th, and the recorc
of it's action will sustain this statement
The only resolution or amendment in
dorsing the Southern policy" offered il
the Convention was offered by the Hon
NJ. Il. Cults, of Mahaska county. MIR
Cults is known to be one OF the mos1
bitter anti-policy men in the State. HIS
well understood purpose in offering his
resolution was to obtain from the Con
vention quasi vote OF censure OF
the President, there being general un
derstanding among both the friends anc
the opposers of the policy in the Con
vention that no resolution either of APP
proval or condemnation of it should bt
passed at this time, while opinion in the
party is much divided. When Mr.
Cults resolution was first offered as al
amendment to the second resolution Of
the committee, it was promptly ruleo
out as not germane by the Chairman Of
the Convention, the Hon. James vii
son, of lama, firm supporter of the
administration. Subsequently 1t was
twice renewed by Mr.. Cults in differen,
forms, and he thus secured what he pal
pably aimed at-a vote under color Of
which it could be said the Convention
voted down resolution endorsing the
policy. 1t was 'frebrand" thrown in
to the Convention by an enemy-not ;
friend-of the administration. But Ii
certainly was not the purpose OF thai
Convention in the disposition it made Of
the resolution to vote the policy dow
or up. Mr.. Cults purpose was well un
derstood, and the Convention refused tt
be set on fire by his ''firebrand.'
Respectfully, D. H. FROST.

the ear Of the chief of the Printing Blu
reau the other day in this wise: If the
work is not done as well and cheaply by
the Government as by private parties, it
is because you or [ neglect our duties
or abuse our powers" 1t is a good il
lnstration of the spirit in which the new
administration is conducting all branch
es of the public service, and it is safe
to aver that so long as it shall continue
the administration will have the conf
dence of the people.

Thoro Is ono point which we would
suggest to those journals that affect to
believe that the Presidents order inter
feres with any of the sacred rights of
citizenship. Though the order was is
sued q couple of weeks ago, we have not
yet heard of a single Government officer
who has resigned his position because he
felt that the new order of things was
unjust or degrading to him. Not one of
these gentlemen, to our knowledge, in
tends to give up his place in order to
enjoy the inherent right y which ma
chine papers speak of, and the inference
is that their honor has not been percept-
IDLY wounded. Chicago Tribune,

THE GAINESVILLE Star says: ''At this
writing we are not aware who has beer
nominated for Governor, but of one
thing we are certain, had Hayes ISSUED
his order, prohibiting Federal officers
from taking part in conventions little
earlier, it would have played the deuce
in the ranks of the Gear party 1t is
the sort of work that was done for Geal
that the order is intended to reach, and
that is why the workers in that interest
are so discounted with it.

THE Fort Dodge Gazette is of the
opinion that Mr.. Gears forced nomi-
nation by the ring, with the aid of the
railroads and the profuse and lavish use
of whisky and money, will fall upon the
masses of the voters of Iowa like a clap
of thunder in clear day." Neverthe-
less it seems to be the fashionable way
of making nominations of late.

The same report or dispatch announcing the
resignation of DIR. Thatcher, late President OF
the Iowa State University, is going the rounds
of his retirement. THAT is mistake, to call ii
by no palmer term. The Doctor was asked to
resign by the Regents, and he did so. The rea'
son for the request was that the Doctor was
found, after years Of trial, to be wanting In en-
ergy, industry and executive ability.-Dubltq,tt

Whatever the real reason for DR.
Thatcher's discharge, it is not mis-
take" that the ostensible reason given
him by the Regents for asking him to re
sign was poor health. We are so inform
ed by student in the University from
this county, who was present when DIR
Thacher announced the matter to the
class and read to them the letter from
the Regents. Our informant quotes DIR

A MAGNANIMOUS WIFE.

Patrick Walsh and his wife Mary,
says the New York Times, have been
married sixteen years without beng
blessed with any children. A
bout two years ago the discontented
Patrick became enamored of Ellen
McCann, and his advances toward
her were reciprocated. The result was
that Ellen presented Patrick with a
baby, and Judge Duffy about fifteen
months ago ordered him to pay the
mother 50 week the child's support.
The money was paid for some time,
but Patrick's wife magnanimouly con-
sented to adopt the baby, and Ellen
gave her consent thereto. She; how
ever, subsequently regrtted her ac-
ton, and has since annoyed the Wal
shes, endeavoring to obtain possession
of the child. Yesterday, in the
Judge Mogan warned Ellen not to
annoy the Washes in the future, ,and
refused to give her the custody of the
child.
