IOWA.

We have not taken much interest in
the Iowa election, but weunderstand that
they voted in that State for a Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, Superintendent OF
Public instruction and Judge OF the SUI
preme Court; besides a Congressman in
the Fifth District in the place OF the late
RUSH CLARK, Rep, and members OF the
Legislature, half the Senate holding
over. Four State tickets were in the
field, the Gubernatorial candidates be-
ing as follows: Democratic, ii. ii.
TRIMBLE; Republican, JOHN II. GEAR
renominated; Greenback, DANIEL
CAMPBELL; Prohibition, DAVID r. Dun
GAN. In the Fifth Congressional Dis
'trict the nominees are: Independent
Democratic (the regular nominee, ii. +.
J. BoARDMAN, having declined,) LIE
GRAND BYINGToN; Republican. WM. q.
THOMPSON; Greenback, WILLIAM Ii.
CALHOUN.
Is 1876 HAYES carried Iowa by ILL.,
S2G, to ll2, l2l for TrLDEN, COOPER hav-
in 9.43l votes. In 1877, for Governor,
GEAR, Republican, received l2l, $40, the
Democratic candidate having 1895;
the Greenback, 34,347, and the Prohibi-
ton lO345 votes, the latter represent
ing the temperance Republicans, to
whom GEAR was obnoxious. Last year
for Secretary of State the Republicans
cast 1854 votes, the Democratic
Greenback fusion candidate receiving
25,OS7, and the candidate OF the ire
concilable Democrats 1902. The can
vass this year has been very languid,
and GEARS success over the divided
opposition is assured, though some
Democrats think that owing to his bad
temperance record he will again be a
minority Governor. The Republicans
now have and will retain control OF
both branches of the legislature by
large maiorities.

FREE LABoRANDCHEAP COTTON

A New England man of some dis
tinction, Mr.. EDWARD ATKINSON, has
Just published a very thoughtful and
instructive letter showing the effect of
the change from slave to free labor on
the cotton crop. The cotton crops OF
1873 and 1879 he prOnounces the largest
ever raised. From 1852 to 1861, in
elusive, the crops grown by slave labor
numbered 81, g9j44O bales; from 1873 to
1879, inclusive, those produced by Tree
labor numbered II, 454,7l3 bales, show
ing IN excess i'm ten years i'm favor OF
free labor OF 6,4593 O3 bales. Mr.. AT
EINSoN estimates the value OF the ten
last crops at not less than
=, SOC, 100000, and probably nearer
5000, 100000. Nearly one-half of
the cotton crop of the world springs
from the soil OF our Southern States,
and hearty one half OF the world yet re-
mains to he supplied. The demand for
this staple bids fair to be nearly limit
less, and it is evident that the prosper
ity OF the South, unless its people are by
the gods made mad and DESTROYED, will
rise to 50 high degree that that section
cannot be stigmatizcd rs the poor rcla-
ton of the Union.

The colony of New Zealand has very
extraordinary Prime Minister in the
person of Sir George Grey. This gen

and then appointed to the government

the latter office expired he elected to re-

abode in remote locality, an island,
where he lived almost exclusively
among the Maories, with whom he cul-
tivated the most intimate relations and
domestic ties. lie has now been for
some time Governor, but OF late serious
dissensions, assuming the character OF
violent personal antagonisms, have
arisen in the Cabinet, and the retirement
of the Premier is expected. Sir George

cidedly eccentric, both in character and
habits. New Zealand, whose area is esti-
mated at $4,000 square miles-about

PLAIN TRUTHS PLAINLY SPOKEN

One of the leading and most able OF
the Republican papers OF the country,
the Springfield Republican, reviews the
result of the election in Ohio from
standpoint which, coming from a parti-
san journal in the hour OF victory, is
commendable for its wisdom.
1t reminds the Republican party and
those interested in politics, that the
issue in Ohio was not that one party or
the other should divide the offices, but
that government by the people should
be administered for the benefit OF the
people. 1t declares that because OF the
selfish and partisan attitude OF the Re-
publican party in the Ohio campaign,
fighting only for spoils and individual
and party advantage, the election in
Ohio has decided no great and vital
question; it sets no keynote; 1t decides
no party policy, and no great National
issue is opened or closed"
The Republican party might, says the
Republican, shave outlined great poll
CIV for the future. 1t has not. 1t has
chosen to appear as the party OF sec
ton, to rest its claims to support on its
ability to keep the Democratic party
from doing harm, to be mere political
breakwater."
With terrible plainness it tells the Re-
publican party of Ohio, that on all the
vital questions OF the future, the read
justment Of the tariff, the revival OF our
commerce, the proper treatment OF the
silver question, the prompt use OF the
great food of prosperity now yelling to
prevent the future ebb of trade, its plat
form in Ohio says nothing. Beyond the
bare fact that the national bank system
will be kept as it is, there is nothing in
the platform or the canvass, which first
and last has included half the leading
Republicans in the country, to show
what the Republican party promises to
do if it gains full control OF the gov
eminent. Like the doctor who threw
his patients into commissions because he
was death on fits" the Republican
party proposes to convulse the party on
sectional issues because it is death on
the Southern question.

Natural Bridges.

When caverns in which streams dis
appear are of small extent, and open at
both extremities,s they form natural
bridges. Tney are frequently met with
now in localities where no water existc.
a remarkable curiosity of this kind oc-
ours in the Valley OF Icononzo, or Pandi,
in Mexico. 1t spans q chasm 325 ieet
deep, at whose bottom windsa small tor
rent, the Rio de la Sumna Paz, incIosed
in an almost inaccessible channel. The
principal bridge measures 43 leet in
length by 80 in width, and g. feet thick.
Sixty five ieet below this first b-idge is
found q second, consisting OF three blocks,
which support themselves without any
adyentitiOus aid; the central is perfora-
led with hole, through which the bot,
tom OF the abyss is visible. The bridge
or arc over the river VEGA, near Verona,
is 125 feet high. The magnificent rock
bridge of Virginia spans an abyss which
separates two mountains--an abyss of 225
feet, in the deep obscurity of which wifi
ten and seeshe the restless waters of Co
dar creek. This marvellous arch is nearly
100 feet in length and Al feet thick it is
a natural curiosity, which no spectator
can survey without feelings of admira
ton. In the Lebanon, torrent empty
ing itself into the Beirut river passes I'M
der natural arch 215fee in height. a.
similar bridge Is thrown over the Leon
les, near Tisr Kuraone, where the rive
was tunneied through q rock 80 fee
thick. The road from Wady el Teim b
Nihah is carried across this wonderful
arch. The arch over the Dog river, near
the Niban 81 Liban, is followed out lin
the solid rock. III is 80 feet thick tits
