St. Lonis Republican.

Republican organs, preparing for the
coming presidential campaign, are just
now saying good deal about the party's
record, claiming for it all manner of poll
teal virtues, no vices whatever, and
insisting that the people will be utterly
ungrateful as well as blind TO their own
interests, if they fail TO extend the Re
publican lease of power, Let us look at
this record moment, and see whether it
is entitled to such praise and deserves
such popula: Endorsement.
What is called the successful prosecu-
ton of the war, is the first and the tai
lest feather in the Republican cap, and
therefore demands the first and fullest
notice. If a man should set fire to his
own house, and then, with the prompt
and vigCrons assistance of his neighbors,
succeed in extinguishing the flames after
great damage had been done, he would
hardly be justified in Boosting of the
achievement-much less in asking for
public admiration aud applause. Yet
this is precisely the Republican position
in regard to the war. 1t could not and
would not have come when and as it did,
if at all, if the Republican party had not
existed, or had not, through an extraor-
binary combination of circumstances,
obtained control ofthe national admins
tration The war was the direct and
logical result of Republican principles
and the election of Republican presi-
dent, aud while the South was fatally
wrong in rushing to secession, instead of
waiting the sober second thought of the
Northern people. she had some excuse
for so doing in the danger which seemed
to threaten her constitutional rights.
But be this as it may, if Northern Demo
crats-who had forseen and predicted
the consequences of Republican victory
had not freely poured out their money
| ahd their blood in defence of the Union,
| it must inevitably have persisted. Its
| survival and restoration are as much due
to Democratic patriotism and yalor as to
Republican efforts, and the attempt OF
Republicans to monopolize the credit OF
a desperate work which would not have
been necessary but FOR them, is charac-
teristically impudent. Democrats could
not have been severely blamed if they
had let Republicans put out the fire
which Republican hands had kindled
and it is their eternal honor. that, laying
aside personal feeling and POLITICAL pre-
JUDGE, they did their whole duty, gal
i lantly and well, in the hour of nationa
peril
Of what came Immediately after tht
war it is almost needless to speak
| Military governments in the South, the
enfranchisment of an ignorant race JUS
emerged from slavery, carpet baggers,
negros and bayoneis combined for IRE
construction purposes in regime Of
| corruption, fraud and rascality unmatched
in modern times-all these are now /
part of American history as we'll as par

Indians With Tails.

The existance of tribe of Indians in
Paraguay with tails is asserted, ap-
parently on good authority, An Argentine
domiciled in the Argentine missions has
a yerba Enlistment in the Paraguayan
mission 4 district called Tacuru-Tuyu.
While collecting the yerba in the yerba
woods one day his mules were attacked
by some Guayaeuves Indians, who fled
after killing several mules. The muleteers
pursued, firing on the Indians, one of
whom, a boy of seven or eight years,
was wounded and captured, The boy
was brought to Posadas, the Argentine
residence of Don Francisco Goicochoa,
the Argentine referred to, and excited
much wonder, and some Germans photo
graphed him, he having tail six to eight
inches long. The boy is very ugly, but
his body is not covered with hair, A
brother, in possession of Col Rudecindo
Roca, has also tail, and it is said that
all the tribe are similarly adorned. This
tale of tail is vouched for by Dr. Luiz
Pizzarrello, an Italian.

began, and has continued ever since; but |
not until In 1877 the last of them threw |
off the Republican yoke could it be said |
that the Union was restored The re-
storation was entirely and exclusively |
Democratic work, Republicans doing all |
in their power to hinder it and denoun |
cling IFS completion as an objectionable |
crime. The chorus of Republican curses
which saluted the final collapse of Re
publican tyranny in South Caaolina and
Louisiana wassquite as much a confession
of failure as an outburst of wrath and |
disappointment. The Republican record |
in the South from 1865 to 1877, and the |
Democratic record from 1877 to 1883
stand side by side inviting comparison
| What the South waswe know; what it is |
we see, and no commet is necessary.
! If nothing could be charged agsinst the
| Republican party except its Southern
performances it would still merit the
heaviest popular condemnation, but when
we add to these the conspiracy which
robbed the people of their fairly chosen
president, the rings which have plundered
every department of government from
highess to lowest, the anti-reform policy
which every Republican administration
has adopted and every national Republi-
can convention has confirmed, tlfe bosses"
and machines" f1ourishing under Repub-
lican patronage and protection, and the
general Generalization and debauchment
which Republican peactices have genera
ted in our political systemic popular
condemnation can be heavy enough to
cover the case. The people have the
Republican record before them and can
be trusted to read it understandingly with
out the assistance of Republican organs
1t is written large" very large, and in
ink that will not fade in all the centuries
to come. Beginning with fanaticism and
sectionalism it goes through all the phases
of reckless ambition and INSCRIPTIONS
partisanshIp and eliminates in the mutual
jealousy and hatred of factions anxious
only to retain the influence they have
abused, no matter what becomes of the
country. If record whose first page
tells of fraternal war, whose last page
tells of the strife of stalwarts and anti
stalwarts, and whose other pages are dark
with plumbers and crimes-if such re-
cord can win the peoples votes then the
people deserve all thew have received
from the Republican party in the past
and all they will receive in the future il
its supreme cy is prolonged.

HIS RAscALITY.

The Aledo Record has this to say con-
corning Marshall Roney, who was taken
from the Rock Island Jail by the sheriff
of Mercer county and taken to Aledo for
trial; Marshall Roney has gotten himself
into trouble again, and is again boarding
at the county's expense. He had pre-
liminary examination on Friday on a
charge of burglary, before Esquire
Boice. and was committed to Jail in de-
fault of bail The evidence was sub
stantially as follows; Roney was en-
ployed as farm hand by Mr.. Sherrard,
of Riehland Grove township. Mr.. S. S
daughters had some money, which Roney
had in some manner discovered was kept
between the mattresses of their bed, for
safety. One morning recently. during a
storm, Roney burst open the door of the
room occupied by the young ladies, and
grossly insulted them, causing their
precipitate fight. They awakened their
father, but by the time he reached their
room Roney had fed, and the money
together with gold watch, was missing,
the bed and trunk showing plain evil
dence of having been riied Roney was
followed to Reynolds, arrested and taken
to Rock Island. where Sheriff Cummins
found hin, and hro,1Ohf him hare T,hk
evidence he gave on the trial was vulgar
in the extreme, and bore on its face an
appearance of untrntAfulness, save where
it corroborated the testimony of the
young ladies as to the fact of his break
ing into the room.

lower her chimneys in order to get under
the bridge at St. Louis She is now on
her way up and will arrive here to-
morrow afternoon. Undoubtedly very

der, whilst the Office will be IL charge of
Spence Grinnell, assisted in the freight
department by Mr. Harry NJ, Miller, late

The reasonable prospect is that nearly
100, 600, 600 feet of the logs on the waters
of the Upper Mississippi win hang.
Forty per cent of the Chippewa is hope

water The total turn out to this date is
70, 1000, 900 feet, and nearly as many more
safe. A reliable correspondent writes
from Stevens Point that the bulk of the
logs are regarded as safe on the river, but
the cut isnot nearly so large as reported.
The St Croix loggers are having tongf
time getting down the logs. Many drive;
have been abandoned Altogether the
outlook is growing better.
