with delight to the following from
the Missouri Republican, a leading

wEAvER's RETROSPECT.
He Now Turns on the Men for
Whom He once Fought.

Gate City.
Wonder if when General j. B. Wea-
yer looks ut the soldier uniform he
wore and then recalls such utterances
of hisas those at Newton about south
ern claims-wOlider if he doesn't feel
heartily ashamed of himself? He
was a faithful and gallant soldier, and
did nobly for himself and the Union
cause. Down South were a few faith
full men, who, surrounded by rebels,
staked life and property and liberty
in standing true to the Union and the
cause for which General Weaver
fought. These men, hunted like
sheep, starved in prison pens, driven
from home, lost their property by the
war. Years ago, when Weaver was
fully approving that and other repub-
lican measures, the republican Con-
gress passed and Grant signed a law
to reimburse these Union men for
their losses. This act was in clear
harmony with the law of nations and
the recognized duty of governments.
The duty was so clear that the demo-
cratic congressman have voted with
republican congressman for the allow
apce of all the awards made by the
Southern Claims commission, There
are no new claims being brought for
ward or hunted up. The time set by
law for the presentation of claims
long ago expired. Weaver knows
this or he doesn't know enough to
talk intelligently about this question.
And yet In his desire to get a demo-
cratic nomination for Congress, he
panders to what he assumes as demo-
cratic prejudices, misrepresents the
law and the facts, and turns against
these loyal southern men who were
faithful to the cause for which he no.
bly, and patriotically risked his life,
and to pay whom for their property
losses is one of the most sacred duties
a government ever owed its faithful
citizens. To what sorry self-abase-
ment political ambition will lead some
men! We are sorry that General
Weaver, soldier, patriot, an ora
tor and a gentleman, should have ex-
posed himself to reflections like these.

South Carolina Democrats.

COLUMBIA, Aug. 1.-The State DEM
ocratic Convention met to-day. Gen.
John D. Kennedy presided.
The platform adopted reaffirms the
platform of 1876; is in harmony with
the pledges and performances of
Governor Hampton, and guarantees
full protection to all classes in the
administration of justice.
Accompanying the platform is q
series of resolutions also adopted,
urging unity of purpose and action
among Democrats ;denouncing fusion
with Republicans and deprecating the
presence of independent candidates ;
also, strongly recommending the fos-
tering of immigration, inviting peo-
pie from every part Of the globe to
make their homes in South Carolina {;
directing attention to revenue
troubles in the upper counties, urging
Congress to amend the law and quiet
the irritation, and requesting Presi-
dent Hayes to grant amnesty to illicit
distillers in upper counties.
Governor Hampton and the entire
State officers were endorsed and re-
nominated amid great enthusiasm.

used to harp continuously about the

discharge of his duty, saved his life
by killing his would-be murderer and
a state court incarcerates him in pris-
on and a u. s. Judge authorizes
the issue of writ of habeds corpus,
for the purpose of inquiring into
the cause of the imprisonment, and
all South Carolina democracy say the
writ shall not be obeyed and the Ga
zette glories in what it deems the want
of power in the general government
to execute its process and defend its
own officers.

A LEMON CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.

A LEMON CURE FOR CoNsUMPTIoN.-
A correspondent of an English medi-
cal journal furnishes the following
recipe as y new cure for oonsump-
tion ''Put dozen whole lemons in
cold water and boil until soft (not too
soft), roll and squeeze until the juice
is all extracted, sweeten the juice
enough to be palatable, and then
drink. Use as many as dozen q day.
Should they cause pain or looseness
of the bowels, lessen the quantity and
use five or six day until better. By
the time you have used five or six
dozen you will begin to gain strength
and have an appetite. Of course as
you get better you need not use 90
many. Follow these directions and
we know that you will never regret
1t if there is any help for You. Only
keep it up faithfully.
1--WE know Oftwo cases where both
of the patients were given up by the
physicians and were in the last stages
of consumption, yet both were cured
by using lemons, according to the di-
rectiOns We have stated. One lady in
particular was bedridden and very
low; had procured everything that
money could procure, but all in vain,
when, to please friend, she was fin
ally persuaded TO use the lemons.
She began to use them in February,
aud in April she weighed one hun
dred and forty pounds. She is a
well woman, to-day, and likely to
live as long as any Of u.s."

OF Four Negro Murderers.
MONROE, La, July @-A party of
masked men, variously estimated
from forty to five hundred, rode into
Monroe this morning, forcibly took
from the Parish jail four colored
men who were confined there, charp-
ed with murder, took them to the
Court House square, and hung them
to the limb Of an oak tree. Three of
the victims were implicated in the
killing of w. G. Fitzgerald, last May,
white constable at Trenton, who
had attempted to arrest them az is
alleged for disorderly conduct there.
They had been tried, one of them
sentenced to the penitentiary for life,
and the other two remanded for a
new trial. The fourth victim was
charged with waylaying and murder
ing another negro in cold blood. He
had been sentenced by the District
Court to the Penitentiary, but obtain
ed new trial. The verdict of the
coroner's jury was that the said par.
ties came to their death by hanging,
and that same was done by parties
unknown.

How Is This, Con. Weaver!
Monrna Mirror

We desire to make point on Gen.
Weaver, and pride ourselves that it is
done in the following: 1t will be
very well remembered by greenback-
ers, democrats and republicans alike,
that when Gen. Weaver made us q
speech in Monroe just two years ago
this coming fall, that in speaking OF
the Independent greenback movement
and of the proposition of that ele-
ment to issue an unlimited amount OF
greenbacks, he said in the exact fol-
lowing words: LET us ask these in
ffationists how many greenbacks they
would issue if they had the power!
They do not tell us. But let us draw
their attention to the fact that the
supreme court has just decided that
measure. That tribunal, the highest
authority in the land, has decided
that the issuing of greenbacks was as
a war necessity, only. You cannot
flood the country with an unlimited
amount of greenbacks, as you desire.
1t would be contrary to the letter and
spirit of the constitution" Now Gen.
Weaver is in favor of issuing two bill
lion dollars in greenbacks and flooding
the country.

We are informed that the officers of
the Cedar Rapids, Sigourney & OF
tumwa Railroad Company are engag-
ed in procuring by condemnation the
right of way to their company which
heretofore was vested in the old st.
Louis & Cedar Rapids company. This
process does not involve the valid
liens or judgments which may have
been obtained against the property or
grade of the old company. The new
organization proposed at the outset to
pay all such just claims on an equita-
BILE basis, whenever they commenced
building the road, and it has been the
understanding all the time of the C.
R., s. & o. and the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul company at its back,
that they would be engaged in no
sharp or disreputable practice in the
way of depreciating and getting for
nothing the property interests and
ground right of way, which have
been put in voluntarily by its original
projectors and builders, from here to
Sigourney, or taken by appraise-
ment.

GALEsBURG, ILL.,, July O.-The au

investigate one of the most dastardly
crimes ever perpetrated in this vicin
ity. David Jackson, who resides
with his family In the extreme nortl
part Of the city, attempted to outrag,
the person Of his Swedish servan,
girl, twelve years Of age. Last night
his wife being absent, he went to the
girls room while she was asleep, and
shamefully abused her. Her screams
frightened the villain and he has thus
far evaded arrest. The terrified lit
tie girl ran to the homo of her pa.
rents, three blocks away, and, as soon
as she was able to relate what had
occurred, they gave tho alarm. A
physician examined her injuries and
reports them not serious. Public
feeling runs high, and, if the perpe.
traitor is captured, he will receive
auick iustic0.

A Lonely Grave.

"Hobbs' Grove just across Skunk
river, south Of town, has that which
should give to it q more sacred men,
ory than the event which made it
famous as the camping ground of the
army which Governor Kirkwood
dispersed.
In the days of more than thirty
years agone, Lancaster, then ihe
county seat, was prosperous town,
but at present has but few of its old
landmarks left. The town plat is
almost entirely vacant, with nothing
to suggest it's former prominence, life
and business activity. In those days
among the young men who after
wards won distinction for Iowa, and
the old town can claim numbers of
them, NJ. M. Croker, Atty at law,
was prominent. His father, James
e. u ocker, was known in that neigh
borhood as an cid democratic wheel
horse, like his son passionate and i'm.
pulsive, but beneath and with this,
kind hearted and brave. His death
occurred during those carly %;.,.e
long past, old settlers say in the fall OF
lS4S, and his burial was in the grove
above referred 10. II never became
a cemetery, and his last sleep has for
nearly third of a century been alone
beneath the trees where whispering
winds have murmured sweetly among
the leafy branches, and the blasts of
winter moaned sadly when cruel
frosts had shorn them of their yer.
dure. Recently this grove became
the property of fJosiah Utterback, and
the trees have been cleared away to
make use of the ground for agricul.
tural purposes. Mr.. Utterback has
however, left standing one elm tree
which alone marks the grave of Gen
Crocker's father.
We understand that the old settlers
association now being organized in.
tend that the father of the lamented
Gen. Crocker shall no longer rest in Q
nameless and, except to them, un'
known grave, and that at leasta mod,
