"Black Diamonds" Again.

(Jones County Liberal. Monticello, Iova-)
Requested by many OF our citizens,
Mr.. Forbes has consented to repro
duce the great coal-mine drama,
''Black Diamonds" which his com,
pany will present at the opera house
on Saturday evening Of this week
March 5. The plot Of the play is
founded on the strike of the "Molly
Magulres" in the coal regions of
Pennsylvania, and abounds in many
thrilling scenes. The actors are all
we'll up and present the play in an
attractive manner. There are also q
number Of ludicrous scenes introduce
ed that serve to keep the audience in
a good humor throughout the evening.
The play itself is Of a higher order
than some might be led to believe,
and the troupe brings out all the
good points, and are to be congratu-
lated for the excellent entertainment
given to our people. Forbes Dra-
matte Company have now established
for themselves q good reputation in
Monticello, and their future visits to
our city will be met with q cordial
reception. for they are certainly de-
serving Of much praise. We also
commend them to our neighbors as
furnishing an elegant and commenda-
bic entertainment, and hope that in
other places they may meet with cor
responding success.

of the Senate. Whatever other priv
ileges he enjoys have been transferred
to him by Congress, and are liable
at the pleasure Of that body to be
taken away and entrusted to other
officials.
And yet we constantly hear the
President alluded to as the Ruler of
this mighty Nation, the leader OF
fifty millions of people, forgetful that
the powers that relate most intimately
to our personal welfare have been
committed to the Governors and Leg
islatures Of the States.
If necessity exists for strengthen
ing the national machinery and pro-
viding for an emergency of a lapse IN
the Executive, why has not Congress
been called together? 1t alone has
power to tighten the burdens of Pres.
dents and provide for their transfer
to other officials. To be President
at all, the obligations imposed by the
Constitution must be discharged.
The Senate cannot relieve Of these
duties. 1t eau only Q that they
are performed. The election by that
body of a President protein, can only
provide for a legal succession in case
of accident. Already very many
laws are executed by heads Of de-
partments, and this 10 n of the
reasons that matters went on as
smoothly as they did during Garield's
latter days. What is really designed
by the new Executive is not relief
from the oversight of duties likely to
suffer, but to have the transfer o.
authority about TO be made by him
to his stalwart friends confirmed.

LADDoNIA, Sept. 26.-The funeral
sermon of our late president, James
A. Garfield, wss preached to-day by
Elder Shumate st the Baptist church
to a very large congregation who lis
tened with profound attention to the
discourse. Elder Shumate spoke of
many incidents Of the presidents
life-of his humble birth, Of his
bravery as a soldier, Of his christian
life and his affection for his loved
mother, wife and children. Many
we're moved to tears and a sad gloom
fell upon all. Mrs. Dick presided at
the organ and the choir sang with
pathos "Give me the Wings of thy
FAITH and other appropriate hymns.

addition Of about fifty members.

We attended the meeting of Rev.

many pleasant acquaintance, enjoyed
the day finely, ate of a sumptuous
dinner at the residence of Mr.. Spriggs,
and had a pleasant ride in c. A.

What a delightful rain we have
had! The grass looks green and nice
like spring, the cattle look happy,
and the ''croakers'' are beginning to
feel like they will not starve.
A small cyclone passed through
Laddonia on Saturday evening, blow

The trouble about train robbers is
only temporary. A number OF fine
safety deposits are being built,
and when they are completed no fear
of train robbers need be felt. Each
passenger will be locked in a chilled
steel casket before the train starts,
and on reaching the end of his jour-

THE sPOILs SYSTEM.

The spoils system, and the evils
arising out Of it., form the most
pressing political question Of the
hour. To our minds the results
reached through it indicate, that
neither the Executive or either branch
of Congress should have anything to
do with appointment to office. What
is called Senatorial courtesy is, in our
opinion, a dangerous addition to the
unwritten law. 1t gives designing
Senators control Of the political ma
chinery Of their States, induces Sem
atorial bosses to regard the national
offices as personal ~perqnisites to be
distributed at will among their fol-
lowers, and is connected with the
worst social scandals current at Wash
ington. 1t is q disease that is under
mining national politics. In addi-
ton to denoralizing partisans and
ofice-seekers, it impoverishes office
holders, renders members of the
House s~ubservient, and brings even
the Executive under the control of
the Senate. For years Presidents,
Cabinets and Congressman have been
made by Its means to cover and yield
to the Senatorial leaders Of the party
in power, and recently it has occa-
stoned the death Of a President and
raised the question of the safety of
the republic. But for desire to
change the nominating power, Gui-
teau would have scarcely murdered
Garfield. It was not love for Arthur,
nor hatred for Garfield, that impelled
him, but eagerness for Office, out of
which he conceived he had been un-
justly kept; and to-day a great party
is divided by this system into two
sactions, contend,ng for a hundred
thousand Offices, each of which, some
partisan thinks, he has earned by
services rendered his chief.
This is q deplorable condition for
national politics to be in but people
may as we'll look into it, and compre-
bend fully what it is, that Guitesu
wrote: 81 have no i'll will towards
the President. His death WAS q po-
litical necessity. It will unite the
Republican party. I was with Grant
