For Congress.

The Ottumwa Courier formally an
nounces the name of Hon. Il. III. Stiles
of that city as candidate for Con-
gress in this district. This gives as
far as heard from, Stiles, of Wapello,
Gen. +. M. Drake, Of Appanoose,
Hon. w. M. Stone, of Marion, Hon.
M. e. Cuts, and Hon. VIM. Lough-
ridge, of Mahaska, Hon. Il. S. Samp-
son, of this county, who though not
having authorized the use of his
name directly is understood through
out the district to be candidate. 1t
is probable that Jasper county Re-
publicans will present the name of
Lieut.. Gov. Campbell, and it is not
improbable that Monroe will present
the name Of Hon. B. +. Ebert. At
present it looks as though almost
every county in the district will go
into convention pledged to man of
their own, and the final result will be
in favor Of the man able to capture
the most second choice votes. Iu this
connection the following remark by
the State Register, made in speaking
Of the situation and candidates in this
district is full of significance-The re-
mark is this: "There is great deal
of quiet and significant talk through-
out the district in favor OF Judge

How Senator Blaine can declare, as
he docs, that the demonetization of
silver was unconstitutional, and at
the same time vote against the silver
bill, is little remarkable. Itis true,
he would appear to favor silver
dollar Of 425 grains, but he knows as
well as he knows that he has head
on his shoulders, that the unconstitu-
tional act of demonetization had
much to do in decreasing the value
Of silver and we cannot see his consis-
tency in agreeing to SEQ an unconsti-
tutiCnal act have the effect to dcbase
silver and to treat it as verify as
though It were just and lawful act.
1t does seem to US that Mr.. Blaine
ought, to be consistent, to have voted,
to neutraliZe the unconstitutional act
of Congress and given silver its prop
er place for time before undertak-
ing to fix the size of the dollar
More thaa this if, as Blaine says, the
demOnetization was unco Institutional
fheA the old silver dollar Of Biz
grains pure silver is now aRd always

vote for tie bill would simply have

The Democratic House at Wash
ington, has pet measure of pension
ing all the old Mexican soldiers with
out reference to whether they are dis.
abled or not, but including them all
and the widows of those deceased.
The number thus to be added to
the pension roll is estimated at rs, 600,
which would add to the yearly ex-
penditures from seven to nine mil
lions Of dollars. A very large pro-
portion of these pensioners would be
from the southern states and it is safe
to say that more than one-third of
them would be of those who
were voluntarily rebel soldiers in
the rebellion. Many of them
would comprise those who were high
in the rebel service, including Jeffer-
son Davis. If there be any call for
such bill, the more especially in
these hard times, it would be diff
cult for any good or reasonable man
to point it out. jeff Davis writes to
Washington to exclude him from the
operations of the bill if this will only
aid its passage. The bill, as it ought,
Is meeting with sturdy opposition
from the republicans of the House
and it is thought some northern dem.
ocrats will oppose it-enough of them
to defeat the measure in the House,
or course such a bill will stand no
show in the Senate.

Ralph Waldo Emerson deliver

Ralph Waldo Emerson delivered
his new lecture, "The Future of the
Republic at Boston on Sunday. In
speaking of our civil system, he ex-
plains how perpetual appeal to the
people preserves its life:
The people all over the country
shrek their exclamations against the
shortcomings of the government, and
the fact that we are nation Of indi-
viduals, that we have highly intel
lectual organization, that we can see
and feel moral distinctions, and have
such organizations that moral law
and forces mus} be heard and felt, all
these things are our hope; but our
people act for the moment and on ex-
ternal impulse they follow success,
and not skill /; therefore as soon as the
success stops, and an admirable man
blunders, already they remember that
long ago they suspected his Judgment,
and transfer their confidence to the
next prosperous person who has not
yet blundered.

The Ohio papers publish the last
letter written to his wife by Mr.. A.
Toland, who committed suicide at his
home, near Decatur, ILL.,, last week.
His wife was visiting friends at Lon
don, Ohio, and he wrote her that hav-
ing been unable to keep his pledg
not to drink Intoxicating liquors, and
having been drunk several times
since her departure, he had concluded
to shoot himself that he might not
further disgrace her and his child.
The letter explains how he was
tempted to break his pledge, and con-
cludes as follows: "You must be-
lieve me when say that I am sorry
for you and Bessie for the disgrace
full manner of my death. But / am
SO heartily ashamed of myself that l
really cannot help doing so. Now,
farewell forever, for you and Bessie

to encourage the reformed drunkard

Qpociol Vciour~,

CLEVELAND, O., March 2-Ex-Scn-
ator Wade died at half past six o'clock
this morning. Early on Friday morn
ing the faithful few around his bed
side noted change for the worse,
and by evening it was apparent that
death must soon ensue. Along to-
ward 10 O'Clock he motioned to his
wife that he desired to speak to her.
She bent over him and he made great
efforts TO communicate to her, but in
vain. At last he managed to say, 81
cannot talk at ALL" These were his
last words. He closed his eyes, and
at midnight began to fail rapidly.
There was no look upon his features
that betrayed pain, and if he suffered
he gave no sign. His eyes OCCASION
ally closed, but consciousness seemed
to remain with him to the end. His
wife stood by the bedside, her hand
in his, and his other hand was
clasped by his son, Captain II. p.
Wade, while Mrs. Wade, of Cleve-
land, DR.. Tuttle, Of Jefferson,
and several other friends sur
rounded his couch. At half-past
A. M. his breathing suddenly became
short and laborious, until at last it
ceased entirely, and Ben Wade was
no more. The body lies in the front
parlor of the family residence, and
has been viewed all day by friends
and loving townsmen. The express
sion of the face is natural, although
bearing the marks of the suffering his
long illness caused him to pass
through. The funeral will occur on
Tuesday afternoon, and will be very
unostentatious, in accordance with a
wish of the ex-senator, who also
caused his wife to promise that no
costly monument should be raised
over him. It is reported that he left
no will, being willing to leave the
settlement of his estate to others. His
estate is valued at $4,000 to 100000,
and is said to be in excellent state,
being mostly in real estate and stocks.

For District Attorney

Alpld JniUn.
We have the pleasure of announc-
ing authoritativelv, this week, that
the name Of James Coen, ESQ.,, Of the
Monroe County Bar will be before
the coming Republican convention OF
this judicial district as q candidate for
District Attorney to succeed Capt. T.
M. Fec.
Mr.. Coen is self-made man, hay.
ing crawled out Of the brush down in
the Hairy Nation few years ago in
the capacity of q school teacher. Pre-
vious to that, like Abraham Lincoln,
he had labored under great disadvan-
tages in securing even good COM
mon school education. Being pos
sessed Of superior natural ability,
however, a thirst for knowledge, in
dustrious habits and a strong deter
mination, he oyercame all obstacles
and stored his mind with useful
knowledge.
He was then elected Recorder of
Monroe county and made careful,
systematic and efficient officer, dis
charging the duties Of the office in
such manner as to do himself great
credit and give general satisfaction.
He then entered the legal profess
sion in which he soon worked his way
into the front rank, where he has ever
since maintained his position and
built up a fine reputation as an attor-
ney. His habits of careful, systemat-
ic study have enabled him at times to
dig up important law points which
had been previously overlooked by
the lawyers Of the State and get deci.
sions of the Supreme Court in his ia.
vOr which reversed the antecedent
practice.
Last term he consented to serve this
community in the capacity of City
Solicitor and during his term com.
piled set of revised ordinances
which are second to those Of no other
city in the State. During the same
time he demonstrated his peculiar fit.
ness for the office of Prosecuting AT.
torney by the system and success ot
his prosecutions Of the yi0lators of the
liquor laws.
In him we present to the Republi.
cans of the District as a candidate fol-
the office named a staunch Republi.
can, a thorough lawyer and man Of
integrity, temperance and unexcep.
tionable character, who will, if nomi.
mated aud elected, serve the people
ably and honestly in the discharge Of
his official duties.

pany, and set aside the finest quarters
on the boat. After time the Jud ge,
who had been given the number of
his room, came on board and proceed
cd directly to the quarters secured for
him. His appearance, it must be
owned, was not very judicial, and he
resembled more a smarty young farmer
than anything else. The captain saw
him making toward the state room,
and intercepted him with the assur-
ance that loafers were not wanted
about there, that the state room the
stranger was endeavoring to enter
was set apart for his distinguished
friend, the Chief Justice, and could
not be occupied by such low trash as
the present applicant. The Judge
saw the point at once, and humored
the captain until the Marshal return
ed, and the Captain was introduced
to the Chief Justice. Never was
there a more astonished river man,
probably, than this captain ON that
occasion.
The change of capitals of the State
of Iowa was a question that the lee
turer was thoroughly posted on, evil
IDENTIFY. He averred, and gave facts
to substantiate the avelrment, that
when the question of removal of the
capitol from Burlington to Iowa CITY
was up for decision in the legislature,
there was one member, a good Jack
son colonel, who had the unfortunate
habit of getting gloriously drunk
The weakness did not prevent him
from being in his seat in the legisla-
ture, however, but when in this con-
di;ion a near friend always accom-
panied him and told him how to vote.
When the question of the capital re-
moval was to be decided the Colonel
was in his normal condition. and
when called on for his vote, his friend
whispered in his ear to vote for Iowa
City. Thus was the removal accom-
plished. The next removal, that
from Iowa City to Des Moines was
secured by still more corrupt means.
A large tract Of land was, by inter-
estcd parties, assigned to one men,
ber in trust for the others who had
been bribed to vote for Des Moines.
After the job was over, however, the
= sss5tSS ASAN1Cu w tulu UtcC the DIun-
der, held it all himself, and thus the
Legislators lost the price of their shame
after all. - :
1t is remarkable fact, said the Ice
turer, that Iowa affords a striking ev-
idence of the longevity of lawyers.
Thirty-five years ago, there were
about fifteen lawyers practicing in
this State among thch Judge RoY er.
of Burlington; Judge Johnston, Of
Keokuk; Judge Hastings, now of Cal
ifornia; and Judge Lowe, of Wash.
ington-and out of this number, but
four or five had died, the others liv-
ing to-day in vigorous health, and ap-
parently good for several years yet.
While this was true of the lawyers, q
far different state of things is shown
in regard to the other pursuits, for all
ofthe doctors, preachers, editors, mer-
chants and mechanics, not one re-
mains to tell the tale.

Benjamin franklin Wade.

i
tinguished statesmen Ohio has ever
had, died this morning, at his home
in Jefferson, Ashtabula county, Ohio,
at $3.50, Of typhoid fever. He was
born in Springfield, Mass, Oct. 9th,
$500, and hence it will be seen he
lived to ripe old age. His fathers
family were in moderate circum-
stances, and rs boy and young man
he was obliged to struggle up by his
own unaided efforts. His educa-
ton, therefore, was limited when
he arrived at manhood. Know
ing Mr.. Wade personally twen-
ty-five years ago, we have often
heard it remarked that as common
lsborer he for time worked upon
the Erie Canal in its construction.
About 1922, he and his brother Ed
ward Wade settled near where he
died and they took part in clearing
up large farm there, all the while
putting in as much time as they
could in obtaining an education
and finally in reading law. 1t
was in an early day on the farm
among the heavy timber with
which that part of Ohio aboun-
ded at that time that Mr.. Wade be-
came the expert shot with a rifle for
which he was so noted. The custom
then was among the frontiersmen
10 use the old squirrel rifle to
shoot through the head four shots out
OF five the squirrels in the tops of the
tall timber. Mr.. Wade had a special
love for this sport, and being man
OF indomitable courage and steady
nerve with a Jacksonian iron will,
when he became U. s. Senator in
1851 he stood up among the mad cap
arrogant Southerners, a well known
acceptor of challenge from them
though he go detested the practice
that he would never be the challeng-
ing party. He was in the Senate a
fearless opponent of slavery, and
boldly spoke in strong singing
language his views upon all occasions.
His impetuous manner led him at
one time to reply to the arrogant
and insolent Robert Toombs, of
Georgia, who, in his anger, challeng-
ed Wade and he accepted, naming
his favorite weapon, the rifle. That
duel was never fought for the simple
reason that Toombs discretion soon
got the better of his passion and his
courage.
Mr.. Wade was so mercurial and
impassioned that his conclusions
were not always correct for the mo-
ment, but his was a noble heart that
never consciously sided with wrong.
All his native instincts were with the
humble, the wronged.
While upon the bench in Ohio in
his earlier manhood, it was noted that
he had always leaning for the
protection of the weak and injured.
He was an able lawyer and often en-
listed without fee where his feelings
carried him. His whole record
as q legislator marks him as
one who struggled always for
the good of humanity. We grieve
most sincerely at the death of such a
man, and it is genuine pleasure to
