On of the Vaearies Of the Iowa
Democratic Platform.
st. Louis Republican (Dem

st, Louis Republican (Dem.l
The. Iowa Democrats appear little
inconsistent in their money ideas.
They "favor the equal recognition of
gold, silver and United States notes
in discharge of public and private OBJ
legations" and they also "favor the
unconditional repeal of the resump-
ton act" These two demands do not
agree. The quality of gold, silver and
United States notes can be secured
only by making them interchangeable
for one another. If gold cannot be
obtained in exchange for United
States notes there is no eqality; gold
will be more desirable than the notes
and will command a premium. The
resumption act makes coin and United
States notes equal by providing that
the latter shall be redeemable in the
former on demand. Rut if the act be
repealed, then United States notes
will not be redeemable in coin. and,
therefore, will not be equal to coin,
Instant redeemability will make the
notes as good as coin ; but the lack of
this quality will make them of less
value than coin. When, therefore, the
Iowa Democrats demand that the
United States notes shall not be re.
deemed, they divest them of the very
attribute that gives them the equality
with gold and silver that platform de-
mands. 1t is easy enough to under
stand this subject by making an indi.
vidual application of it. If an lows
farmer sells 100 bushels of wheat Al
81 bushel, he would as soon take ,
800 greenback bill in payment as $10(
in gold, provided he eau get goln fol
the bill on demand; if not he would
rather have 500 in gold. In the ont
case there would be equality between
the two kinds of money in the Other
there would not.

to show that there will be an easy way
of getting Kellogg out Of the seat

The republican party of this nation
have been ever since the rebellion
endeavoring to placate the hos.
tility Of the men who caused, and
who sympathized with and fought
that battle against the country. The
kindness with (which they have been
treated has astonished the civilized
world. The present administration
has gone still further than republicans
had ever before gone, and there has
been compromises made that a very
large part of the republican party
could not endorse. They could not
endorse them because they thought
they were sacrifice of national rights,
total perversion of right in an at
tempt to win peace. In these late
compromises the democrats of course
have made promises and agreed to f.
nalities, but it is folly to suppose they
will keep them. AS the democrats
gain strength they show disposition
to wipe out all obligations. We are
not surprised at this. We have never
expected them to keep an engage
ment. Ever since we can remember
the ruling party in the north has been
temporizing and yielding for the sake
of peace to southern demands. Ham

Peters Ambition.

When man is IS years old, and is
worth several millions of dollars, he
should be able to putaway ambition,
by which the angels and Mr.. Justice
Davis fell. Peter Cooper wasn't, and
q libel suit now pending in an east
ern court gives us some idea of the
violence Of the Presidential attack
which he experienced. In 1876 the
venerable, white-headed, and green
backed Mr.. Cooper contracted with
some one to prepare 600 boxes out of
which to run his tickets, 10000 bal
lots being also prepared for New
York city, and $4,000 for the rest of
the State, each ballot being accompa-
MED with four-page explanation of
Mr.. Cooper's financial doctrine. The
grand result was that in New York
city $50 votes were polled in the GOO
boxes, or something less than one
vote out of every two boxes, while OF
100000 ballots issued in the whole
State only 1900 got into the electoral
urns. 1t would have been money in
Peters pocket-a saving of Peters
pence, as it were-if he had put away
ambition,

The Gettysburg Cemetery.
From the Philadnlphia Times.


To say that it is upon a high knob
looking toward the South Mountains,
bluer than the sky in their indigo
tint, and eight miles away, is not to
say enough, and to do it injustice.
There are seventeen acres of the pref
test shorn grass, with drives and
walks. The main avenue is at the
east side, dividing the national from
the town burying place. One passes
the bronze statue of General Rey-
nolds, who foil on the first day, as he
enters and turns to the right, going
through clusters of naples, mshogo-
ny, northern pine and cedar trees.
The avenue is lined on both sides
with Norway maple, with garden
bushes between them. Halt way
through stands the monument, sepa-
rated by low belt Of shrubbery from
the graves. These are arranged in a
solid semi-circle with segments for
the eighteen States that are represent
ed. In a total of 1854; 979 bear little
white blocks marked unknown"
The others have the name of the dead,
their companies and regiments cut
into curying rows of stone. There
are NO Confederates in the keepers
register. The many bodies that be-
longed in the South were carried
away with Lees retrsating army
and some of them indeed buried in
The passes Of the Blue Ridge.

THE democracy Of the house have
made still another move that ought to
bring down upon them the severest
censure. They propose to oblige fed
eral officers to be confined to the state
courts in their prosecutions against
violators of law. tits well known that
United States revenue officers have
been met by force, by mobs in several
parts of the south in their efforts to
break up illicit distilling. A very
strong feeling runs through the south
against federal officers, and they are
opposed and INSTRUCTED in the dis.
charge of their duty. In one instance
as reported, the president made 8
marshal out of democrat because
the people declined to let republican
marshal serve process upon them
Now it is proposed by the democracy
that these officers shall not have the
benefit of a federal court to prosecute
their cases, though this is the court
they always have tried their cases in
and the proper one, but they desire tt
confine them to state courts. The re-
suit of such course would be to stoI
the collection of revenue in such
states.

The following is from the State
ReOisfer of the 9Th inst.

Register of the 8th inst:
''There is renewed and determin-
ed feeling rising in the Sixth district
to select Mr.. Cults for the republican
nominee for Congress. 1t is argued
that his candidacy would make the
party strong and invincible. A letter
received from prominent republican
in the district says that while the re-
publicans of the writer's county will
support another gentleman for
local reasons, four-fifths of them
are heartily in favor of Cults. He
adds that correspondence is going ON
among earnest republicans through
out the district, who think Mr.. Cults
should be nominated regardless of his
position Ofindifference and inactivity.
and who say that the party has de-
mand upon him and his great
and great popularity at the present
time which he ought not to ignore"
The Hon. M. E. Cults is gentle
man for whom we have the highest
regard; he is a tower of strength in
the republican party, and in making
the remarks we shall in reference
to the above article we want it dis
tinctiy understood that we have no
criticism to make touching him. 1t,
however, does. no gentleman any
good for his friends to seek his advo-
cacy by journals outside of the district.
The editorial advocacy of this or that
man by journals outside a district is
quite generally considered an imperti-
hence within the district. 1t is pc
culiarity with most people that they
prefer to attend to their own business.
Unless lackingin intelligence any peo-
pie can attend to their own business
better than outsiders can do it for
them. T

The Idaho Indian Scare.

Boise CRY, Idaho, June IA cou-

Bernardo command, which was
camped yesterday in upper Bruneau
valley, so miles south Of the city.
The settlers had all abandoned their
homes and gone into hastily con-
structed Notifications. Col. Bernard
would move this morning toward
Duck Valley, escorting the families
from Bruneau Valley on their way to
ElkO, New. The command will fol-
low on the trail of the Indians and
watch their movements while rein
forcements are coming forward. In
the Bruneau Valley the Indians MUIR

Thus far they are known to have
murdered six white men, besides
wounding two others at Big Camas
prairie. Maj. Sanford's command.

with orders to 60 into camp at King

This point is near the lava beds where
large numbers of Bannocks were en-
camped. When last heard from the

their usual haunts and none of them
are to be seen. They have all been

A Bonanza in the Missou ri
$4,000 at the Bottom of
the River.
Corraanoudorca of tha p;onaar pr

Correspondence OF the flOneer ffeSS.
BISMARCK, MAY 3l.-In the Miisou-
ri river below this point is a bonanza
amounting to $4,000 in gold. In
1864, opposite Bismarck, there was
massacred boat load of miners re-
turning from Montana. They had in
the bottom of their fiat, or mackinaw,
$4,000. There were eighteen min
ers, a woman and two girls They
stopped short time at Fort Berthold
and were there warned by F. F. Gil
rard against going on at tina. time.
Girard was the trader at Berthold.
The Indians down the river were
bad and the prospect for trouble
good. The miners, however, declin-
ed the advice and thought they would
push out for the next landing. They
had with them little cannon and
plenty of arms. An Indian after
wards related to Girard the story of
their fate. When they were nearly
opposite the present site of Bismarck
they ran into an Indian trap. On the
east bank of the river the Indians ap-
peared and fired q volley into the
boat. The miners steered over to the
west side to escape the range. Up
rose from behind a sandbank near
the waters edge another and more
numerous band. The first volley kill
ed the whole crew except one man
wounded and the woman and girls.
The cannon was fired once, and over
went the boat, drowning the surviv-
ors. The Indians pulled the boat
ashore, found little or nothing, and
then pushed her into the stream to
float on to her wreck. Girard says
be never sees anything in the Missou-
ri that lovhs like q loe% boat without
thinking of the Montana mackinaw
and her gold. He has always been
on the lookout for the wreck, as he
believes the gold was so securely box
ed up that it is still intact, and if
found the treasure could be rescued.
1t is somewhere between Bismarck
and the gulf, imbedded in the sand
and mud. Some dredging-boat or
lucky fisherman may drop on it. Gil
rard still looks for it, and he's q SEN
sible man. The probability is that
the hidden bonanza is not far from
Bismarck.

the COUNTY REPUBLICAN CON-
NEN1loA.

Next Saturday the republicans of
Wapello county meet in county con-
vention. This convention is an inn
portant one. Delegates are to be
chosen to represent the county in the
state, congressional and judicial con-
ventions. Let the action of this con-
vention be harmonious, and the best
of men chosen to represent us. We
need especially to avoid all things
that shall tend to create dissatisfaction
and dissension. There should always
be opep-handed work, complete fair
ness, SO that no cause may be given
for complaint. We hope to see a full
delegation from each township. We
are entering now upon what we re-
gard as very important era in poll
tics. The republican party never
more needed than now to put itself in
the most complete trim for battle.
Those bad men who We're beaten on
the battlefield in the great struggle
for national existence, present a solid
sasath and with their. all lies north will
take control Of the nation they could
not destroy, if there shall be weakness
by dissension in our ranks, or by a
want of energy and inactivity, we
shall fail to do our whole duty. We
greatly regret to see some former re-
publicans dividing our strength some
what by making side issue on the f.
nancial question. No such division
troubles solid south; there our end
and aim rules and controls. We do
think that the financial question is
virtually settled, or is rapidly settling
itself. The great struggle now is GEN.
tered in the one idea: was we right in
fighting for the Union, or were those
opposed right, or We're we all Greeks
alike on both sides, and is there no
difference which kind of Greeks shall
rule the country.

The Bloomfield Demo.

THE Bloomfield Democrat thus fore
casts the result of the Democratic
Congressional Convention, August H.,
next:
"The chances for Viewers endorse
ment by the Democratic Convention
of the 9th district are not good. Da-
Wis, Keokuk, Mahaska, Marion and
Jasper counties will vote against him.
Appanoose will vote for him, Wapel-
10 is non-committal, and Monroe has
not yet been heard FROM"
ut might as well be settled right
now as at any other time. All this
talk in the republican press about a
bargain between the greenbackers
and democrats of the 9Th district, by
the terms of which Knapp was to re-
ceive endorsement at Des Moines by
the greenbackers, and Weaver was to
rerrf~c esfti,,rscfffefft at estuinwt py
the democrats, is all balderdash. No
such bargain was ever made. No
democrat ever had power to make
such bargain. And more than that:
If any democrat ever tries his hand at
a trade of that kind he will find that
he cannot deliver the goods"
The above is what we have all along
said in regard to the ability of the de-
mocracy to deliver the goods bargain
ed to Weaver. We have no doubt
they intended to do SO, but have
found the game would not work, as
we were confident it would not from
the first. The democracy of Wapello
county may endorse Weaver, and he
may pipe and blow to his hearts con-
tent throughout this county, and the
republican candidate would beat him
500 in old Wapello. We are here too
close neighbor of Viewers to make
him very successful, and in Davis, his
own home, they know him, it seems,
still better.
Weaver running as a greenbacker
is far more to the injury of republicans
than when endorsed by the democra-
cy, but in any role whatever he is
powerless to defeat the republican
candidate. Running as greenback-
er Weaver will draw from the repub-
lican greenbackers almost exclusively:
democratic greenbackers will go back
to their old party and leave republic
an greenbackers to hold the snipe bag.

THE New York Herald is of the
opinion that the republican party
will not willingly nominate Gen.
Grant in $780," Is the Herald igno-
rant of the fact that the republican
party did not Willingly" nominate
General Grant in 1868 or 1872? Polit-
ical parties are sometimes compelled
to do Chicago Tribune.
There is one thing certainly very
willingly done by the Tribune, and
that is when it says that the republic
an party did not willingly nominate
Gen. Grant in 1868 and 1872 it willing
ly lies for the very plain reason that
it knows better.
