H4RIEARI BY BRIG 1DES.

"Resign gentlemen, if yOu please! Public
cor party service, as you prefer; but one or
" the other. Doubtless you are good Repnb-
"lican committee members, since you have
"been chosen for that duty. Presumably you
care good officials, since you are chosen and
care yet retained for that duty. But the
country wishes from you no longer this
monopoly of yOnr devotion. 1t observes
with sorrow that you sometimes get broken
"down in moral health under the strain. 1t
proposes that you take little rest, whether
"you want it or not You can get out OF
"ofce, or you can quit managing the party :;
zone or the other" Such is the latest gem
eral order from the President, and it appears
to have been not hastily issued, nor does 1t
come upon us without due notice. Men who
want to run the Government must quit run
ming the party. Either as ofiiceholders or
as party-managers, the brigades who have
been both must commit harl-karl.
This is an extraordinary order. That it re-
ouired remarkable boldness, even those who
most strongly disapproye it must acknowledge.
The entire machinery of the Republican party
is in the hands of the men who are thus re-
qured either TO turn it over to Others or to
surrender lucrative Offices. In times gone by
the control Of the machine has been IA very
comfortable thing to have, as a means Of re-
waIdlng friends, furnishing enemies, command
ing consideration in a thousand ways, and
selecting all officers of the Government, from
the President down. To strip many thousands
Of active men either of their Offices or OF
their control in the party will not make them
particularly happy, whether they choose one
sacrifice or the other. Moreover, 1t plainly
implies that as class they have been mis-
behaving, either as officials or as party lead
ers, or both, and the suggestion is all the more
singing because 1t is true. BY the misbehavior
of officials who were also managers, the party

Fighting in Armenia was renewed with des-
perate earnestness on Thursday last-fve days
after the battle at Zeidakan, in which the
Russians defeated the Turks. The last engage
ment lasted from Thursday TO Friday, about
10000 men being engaged on each side the
Russians were finally routed, rctreating in dis
order as far as Zeidakan. While this victory
and that at Batum may give the Turks en-
couragement, the Russians may derive salts
faction from being so near Erzerum.

Mr.. John McGregDr, n pushing Scotchman, now
residing in the City OF Newark is shouldering his
way TO the front as the Democratic candidate for
Governor of New-Jersey. BY strict attention to
political business Mr. McGregOr has accumulated n
competency, has developed into boss" of rather
high degree, and he may be able TO worry Leon
Albeit into very perspnng activity during the
hot weather. Mr. McGregor's chances would be
more promising if he had not shown during his
career such a genius for getting into unpleasant
nesses with other Democratic bosses; if he had not
SO frequently committed the high Democratic crime
and misdemeanor of trying TO "get even" with
somebody at the expense and TO the peril of the
party. and if in his epistoary correspondence
he manifested less staggering disoyalty to
the laws of orthography and syntax. But after
ALL Mr. McGregor has very positive strength of
his own, and he has, too, claim upon th gratitude
of Senator Mcpherson for some very opportune and
characteristic assistance rendered last Winter. Mr.
Mcpherson, who resides in New-York when he is
not running tor something might go over to New
jersey and give material aid and comfort to his
friend if he would remain in the country during the

to the Iowa Republicans that State Govern

From the accounts given of the destructive
fire at Marbehead, it appears evident that 10y
a grave fault in the original plan OF the reser-
voir the water supply became inaccessible
when it was most needed. 1t is not the inst
time in the history of large fires in American
towns that the loss has been Increased by the
waterworks being Involved in the general de-
stluctlon, but it is rare for this to happen III
the beginning of a fire. Underwriters VIII
have to take this risk into account III deter
mining rates for cities and towns, and must
bring to bear due influence to compel change
of location or the Building of fre-proof walls
around the reservoir, where the danger is great.
The worst feature of the MGrbehead fire Is
that it will throw large number ct work
people out Of employment at a time when
there is not much activity in manufacturing
and the chance of obtaining work elsewhere Is
not promising.

There is an unexpected break in the bold
front of the Hunters Point manufacturers.
One of the chief OF them has made an un-
conditional surrender, and announces to Prof.
Chandler and the Board Of Health his inten-
ton of Withdrawing his establishment to
Barren Island. He has already begun to tul-
fill his promise by the erection OF buildings.
This is an example which the other Hunters
Point people ought to have the good SENSE to
follow. They might better withdraw now
when they can confer favor on the COM
munity by doing so than Withdraw after long
and costly struggle which will have made them
personally odious. We say this because there
seems to be 10 doubt of the issue of this
contest. For a wonder the blood OF onr
aggneved citizens seems to be up, and when
they get angry they usually accomplish some
thing. Nh Coe has done a wise and credta-

In winding up the affairs of the Metropolitan
Fire Insurance Company there are revelations
of something worse than bad management.
The indications are that the annual statements
had falsely represented the assets OF the con-
cern. The cooking of accounts seems to have
been conducted much in the same way as 1t
was with the broken life insurance companies.
If these suspicious are justified, it is to be
hoped that things will be called by their right
names, and that men who have perjured them
selves will not be excused on the absurd plea
of ignorance.

To-day comes the first of the college races,
and one in which New Workers have n special
interest inasmuch as one of the two rival boats
will be manned with New-York boys. As our
Sprincfeld dispatches show. the race Of Friday
between Harvard aud Yale excites much
more interest than the race on Tuesday be-
tween Harvard and Columbia. The Colum-
bia crew row, in fact, under great disad-
vantages, having an unframed crew and
an unaccustomed boat and having gone
into the contest in the face of what seem to
be predcstined defeat. If they do well, they
will do better than we have any right to cX-
pect. They cannot, at any rate, he beaten so
badly as to make us regret that they showed
their pluck. And if they should win, Columbia
College would explode with enthusiasm.
In France it is compulsory to have q general
election held within three months from the
dissolution of the Chamber. But as the Duo
de Broglie promised to have the executive
decree issued promptly, it is certain that the
election will take place at an earlier day.
The Republican Union has slmpliled the selec-
ton Of candidates by openly resolving to uphold
the 1853 who voted the order of the day CEN
suring the Cabinet. 1t is uncertain, however,
that this resolution will be generally observed,
party organization in France being very de-
fectiye. When better men may be elected II
would be undesirable that the electors should
support only former representatives, because
they happened to vote with their party at a
critical moment Whatever discOrd may arise,
De Broglie can hardly expect to carry suiii-
cicnt districts to afford him even feeble ma
.jOrity.

Four couples "A photographer, a

druggist clerk each with sweet
piece OF female lovliness by his side,
took sleighride, In the nobbiest Of
sleighs TO Monroe Monday night,
where splendid supper was dis he'd
up for them at one Of the hotels and
where they enjoyed a pleasant time.
On returning back for Pella the drug
gist clerk allowed his sleigh to fall be-
hind, aud Of course he knew his bus
iness. 1t was not long, however, un-
iii he found out that he had lost his
way. About one o'clock he turned
up at Red Rock, knocked at the door
Of residence and got the proprietor
ont OF bed. (which is the road to

to pella, why CO." was the answer.

this, he didn't believe in being sold"

house, and the mercury raging ut 10
below zero, and the answer was warm.

nothing for them TO do than ride on.
They crossed tile Dcs Moines river
aud at Rosseau another chap was
awakened from his midnight slum-
beers who took pity on the half frozen
mortals and took them In to the fire.
They remained there till morning,
and after partaking OF ''pork and

for pella, where they eventually ar
rived. And II isn't safe to say much
about this.

Death OF Col. Garrett.

The following will prove interesting
TO many of the soldier boys Of this
county who served under Col. Gar
rett:
NEWTON, Iowa, Jan. Esd. State
Registcr: Our city and county are In
gloom and sadness over the sudden
death Of John A. Garrett (late OF the
10th Iowa Infantry, who departed
this life at his home I'm Newton, this
a. m, about 10 o'clock. His death
WAS entirely unexpected, though for
more than a year be has been suffer
ing from disease.
Col Garrett WAS q soldier in the
Mexican war, from Indiana. During
the late rebellion he enlisted early rs
private; WAS made Captain OF a
company in the 10th Iowa Infantry,
and served with distinction until pro-
NOTED for meriiorious services to Lieu
tenant Colonel of the I'D Iowa, but
before tnustered in, was again promo
ted to Colonel Of the doth Iowa, which
position lie held until the close Of the
war. Brave and generous to a fault,
he led his company and regiment
through some Of the bloodiest strug-
giles OF the war, always leading them
into the thickest Of the fight Ia the
bloody struggle at jenkins Ferry, Ar
kansas, in the midst Of the fight, his
words uttered I'm the coolest manner
were "Aim low, boys, don't shoot
high no rebels up there; don't belong
there" and the boys did aim low with
terrible effect upon the approaching
rebel lines. His conduct In the field
was always of the bravest character,
while in camp no one was more atten-
tive to the wants or his men; more
genial, kind-hearted and sympathetic
and 1t Is safe to say no officer from
iowa was more respected and beloved
by his men. In private life, his char
acter has been above reproach. Be
loved and respected by all, his death
will be felt not only by our whole
community, but throughout this and
the adjoining counties OF Marion
Mahaska, Powesheik and others will
companies in the 10th and 40th regl
ments. A public meeting will b.
called by our citizens and ex-soldiers
to pass appropriate resolutions ant
take steps 10 attend the funeral, which
will probably be on Thursday. G
