The Des Mones Register reports that there is
universal and intense satisfaction throughout;
Iowa over the recent decision Of the Supreme
Court in regard to the practice of getting farmers
and other unsuspecting people to sign notes for
small sums, which were afterwards raised to
larger amounts and sold to banks. The courts
had hitherto held that the victims must pay the
notes in full, and that the third parties into
whose hands the notes fell must be protected
The new decision reverses this and throws upon
the purchasers of such note the duty of satisfy
ing themselves that it is genuine. Commonwealth.
This is just. The man who buys a
horse must take the risk of title. If the
horse was stolen he must give it up to
the owner upon proper proof The pur-
chaser of note should have the same
rights as the purchaser of other property,
and no more.

The Kansas Methodist, published at
Topeka, in the June issue, says: LAST
month we INDUCED in q good old-tash-
toned Methodist shout over the vetoes of
President Hayes. We really could not
help it. But it seems that our words
attracted some attention. The secular
press copied them extensively, and at
length they found their way into the
south. And now the comments are
reaching US. Well, this honor quite
overwhelms US. That the editor of a
New Orleans paper, who belongs to the
Bull-dozing,; Ku-Kluxing, bowie-knifng,
nigger-hating party of the south, should
call in his blood hounds from the plan
tation, and load up ninety-six FOUNDER
and fire them off at Methodist preacher
in Kansas who edits small monthly
paper,-why that is astonishing, or
amusing, or complimentary! Which !?
But here, where the very atmosphere is
charged with the oxygen of loyalty to
the government we can stand many such.
And even at the risk of another compli-
ment we shall cry out in good earnest !:
"GoD BLESS RUTHERFORD b. HAYES
and have mercy on the majority in Con-
gressw And whoever opens his ears will
hear million and half Methodists in
the hearty response, "Amen and Amen p

For genuine, unadulterated cheek
commend us to the Chauute Democrat
We are willing to admit that many
Northern Democrats fought bravely ano
we'll for the Union, but we deny the
extent of the claim made for them in the
following paragraph taken from the
above mentioned paper:
The idea of the Republican party per
sisting that it suppressed the rebellion and
saved the Union, is becoming disgusting
ly monotonous, and ridiculously absurd
The Democrats furnished as many soldier:
for the Union as the Republicans did
and had it not been for the Northern Dem
Jcrats fighting for it the efforts to save the
Union would have been absolutely fu
tile. These are facts that every honest
man will not deny and try to cover up.

got permission to make junketing tours
this summer at the expense Ofthe govern
ment, and nearly as many more of the
House committees have obtained the same
permission. This is new idea, and was
only inaugurated two years ago, when the
Indian Transfer Committee was sent out ;
but the Democrats, who have always had
so much to say about junketing tours,
have gone into business by wholesale, and
if all the plans that have been laid are
carried out, nearly the entire Senate will
be making pleasure tours this summer at
government expense.
