The Iowa Elections.

Speaking of the result of the recent
election in Iowa, the Chicago Ezpgess
says:
LAS to the Greenback vote we have
the following statement from General
Weaver, who passed through this city
Saturday last On his way to fill engage
ments in New Jersey and Masssachu-
sets. General Weaver says that We
have doubled our representation in the
Legislature, having increased fromfo
to eight and gained Senator We
have carried FIVE or six counties fn-
cluding the county in which General
Weaver lives. Our aggregate vote In
the State will exceed that of last fall,
while both of the other parties have
lost about thirty per cent. The day Of
the election was stormy throughout the
whole State, a heavy cold rain falling
all day long. Our vote is a country vote
almost entirely, and its coming out so
well under the circumstances, while
the Democratic and Republican votes
fell Off even in the towns and cities,
where the difficulty of voting was so
much smaller, is one of the favorable
signs of the times. But for the bad
weather. however, our vote would have
y
old men, feeble men, and men living
remote from voting places who could
not vote.
The Democratic party in Iowa has
completely gone to pieces. Many OF
the pillars of the organization came out
and voted the Greenback ticket. On
the other hand there have been inn
portant gains from the Republicans.
Among these is William Kenworthy.
the best stump speaker in Mahaska
County.
Messrs. Weaver and Gillette, who
have both been east, will return to
Iowa Immediately after the November
elections, when winter campaign will
be inaugurated, which, it is believed,
will produce such a powerful organiza.
tion as will render it impossible for the
Republicans to carry the State again
General Weaver is in fine health and
spirits. He has made 14Ospeeches sip

What "ImmedIate Payment Means.

In speaking OF the immediate pay
ment" of the bonds, the idea seems to
be carried that the portion OF the Green
back party favoring this idea expect to
do IL regards .ess of law or legitimate au-
thority. Such il not the case. While
we do not believe the original reading
of the enactment should ever have been
changed by subsequent enactment from
payment In lawful money" to pay
uient In coin, we do believe that this
change having been made by corrupt
and designing Legislators. 1t may again
be changed to its original wording and
meaning, and lawful payment of the
bonds put into immediate operation.
And by immediate payment we
mean upon their falling due or being
called in by enactmcnts TO that end.
Immediate payment means a. soon as
70 can be brought about, and preciudes
all idea of any refunding process what
ever. Some OF those who oppose ''in-
mediate payment seem 10 discuss it
from the standpoint that contemplates
a sortie on the Treasury and would
force the Secretary into calling in and
having of bonds in Greenbac IS without
previous enactment or authority for SO
doing. This course would be equiva-
lent to that which Secretary Window
IN at present pursuing. in refunding
the bonds now due, wholly regard
less Of any law or enactment either
restraining or authorizing him so to do,
and refunding ut u rate Of interest pre-
scribed by the National Banks, and ac-
cepted on his individual authority and
discretion. As we understand it "im-
mediate PAYMENT neither counscls
nor contemplates any such thing.
-. Immediate means as i'm Mediate as
we can; accompl shing it by legal en-
actment; and. at the best. some time
must elapse before we reach that re-
.sulf. We are sorry that il must be so.
Sorry that we cant bring it about to-
day and put stop TO the eating oi
this cancer. VIII le we acknowledge
the inability to 40 that we repel every
idea and every construction OF Green
back ideas which will per I it to ex.
ist one moment longer than the most
strenuous effort 10 make i immediate"
demands.
We hold that no enactment made by
Congress is so lasting that a succeed
ing enactment caunot repeal or change
1T. IL it be the will of the majority to sc
repeal or change. We admit that our
financial ideas have not yet that ma
iority; but that thev will have it, il
the near future. we are positively as
sured of; and wien they do have it, we
shall insist that the first duty of theil
representatives will be to provide fol-
the immediate payment Of the
bonds. Nation Il TTeW.

The Obedient Clerk.

One of the most wealthy ladies in
Austin entered Nose Schaumburg's
store, on Austin avenue, and pointing ?
jeweled finger, said:
"Send d bushel of them pertaters
and some of them molasses to my
house"
Would not some of those potatoes
do just as well as them potatoes?'
asked the clerk, with superior smile
The lady founced out of the store,
gritting her teeth. When Nose
Schaumburg heard that he had lost one
of his best customers, he was very
much ANNOYED, and told the clerk that
his business was to "sell 'em goots, =
and not to correct mistakes, that it was
none of his business how poorly educa'
ted customers were.
"All right" said the clerk, I'm not
try and enlighten your ignorant custom
ars any more"
Things went on very smoothly. Nose
noticed that customers fOcked to the
new clerk. They did not want any
body else to wait on them. At the
same time Nose could not help noticing
that the new clerk did not take in as
much cash as he should have done.
One morning he seated himself neal
the new clerk and pretended to be
reading. A colored woman came in
and bought ten pounds of sugar. As
she paid for it. she put down half dol.
lar. saying: Ten pounds at twenty
cents a pound makes fifty cents.' A
boy bought lot of articles and saying
"Ten cents for soap, ten cents for blue
ing and thirty cents for starch makes
fifteen cents" laying down three nick.
els and was about to go out. when
Nose bawled out: "Dot vas mish
take.''
"Of course, it was a mistake. II
was a mistake to say them pertaters, u
but, if you won't let me correct any
mistakes in grammar, l don't see wha
right have to correct their arithmetic
You told me was not here to educate
people but to sell 'em goots' and tina
is just what l have been doing" >" Terra

One of the most celebrated of
mathematicians was also one of the
most absent-minded of men. On going
out one forenoon he wrote in chalk on
his door: 81 am not at home" Some
time after he returned, and, just as he
was about to open his door, he was
struck by the inscription which he had
himself written. He read it as if for
the first time, turned to the right
about and redescended the stairs, NUT
tering: 81 am not at home"
