In 1876 Senator Larrabee reported
tho McCoid bill and voted for il in
the senate, which body it passed by
. vote of37 for, to 10 against. That
BILL provided for the taxation OF all
churches and church property. The
bill introduced by Senator Bills, d
republican senator from Scott, only
taxed church property where the
valuation was in excess OF q speci-
ned sum. and which property was
not used as q place Of worship. No
republican paper in Iowa, that we
know OF, has uttered one word
against this scheme to tax the places
Of public worship. Indeed, the
State Register says Mr.. Larrabee
has had no change Of heart on this
question. The bill he favored, re-
ported and voted for, would tar ev-
cry church and all church property
the same as other property is taxed.
The bill he voted against excepted
the places Of worship, schools, col
leges, and residences Of teachers and
professors. So we suppose IL the
latter bill had like the former taxed
all churches and church property,
he would have voted for It, because
- the Register says, Mr.. Larrabee
has had no change Of heart on this
question.

The Davis Disguise.

The discussion relating to the dis
guise worn by JEFF Davis at the time
OF his capture has been brought to
an end by the publication of the Of
fical report OF Lieut. Col. B. D. Pritch-
ard Of the Fourth Michigan cavalry,
who was in charge OF the expedition
which captured the noted Confeder-
ate chieftain. The hoop skirt myth
is entirely brushed away. The dis
guise worn by the Confederate presi-
dent was waterproof cloak and
shawl, which belonged to his wife.
These garments are now in the hands
OF Adjt Gen Drum, who is said to
guard the articles with jealous care
and allows no one to know where
they are secreted.-(St Paul Globe.

His Record.

The principal reason put forth
by the republicans, why Mr.. LARA
bee should be governor is, that he
has served eighteen years in the
State Senate. TO our mind this i
conclusive proof Of his nnfitness
for fnther promotion. What has
Mr.. Larrabee done in the eighteen
years Of his senatorial career, t.
tighten the burdens Of the hard
working farmers, mechanics,
miners, workingmen, producers
and tax payers Of Iowa! What
has he done to relieve the strug-
Cling poor from double taxation and
place upon the rich a just proper
ton Of the burdens ofgovernment'
What has lie done to protect the
people from railroad exactions,
from patent right swindlers, from
fraudulent note swindlers, from
bogus insurance companies, from
the swarms ofusurers which spread
over this state like the flies Of
Egypt! Nothing! worse than
nothing! His voice and his vote
has ever been on the side of OPP
preston, Of exaction, to make the
burdens heavier and the bonds
more secure. The Inter Ocean
says truly that Iowa is the worst
governed State in the Union. The
frequent acts oflawlessness which
disgrace our state corroborate the
assertion. What has Mr.. LARA
bee done to stem this tide of mis-
rule! He is strong man Of a
strong party, why has he not led
in the reformation OF abuses whose
stencil has arisen to heaven 10.
these eighteen years? And what
has Mr.. Larrabec ever done for
prohibition that lie is now placed
at the front as its champion and
standard bearer! One thing is
certain, had Mr.. Larrabec's record
as a prohibitionist been a especially
bright one he would not now be
a candidate for governor. Mr..
Larrabcc received his education III

tor bears abundant and painful
evidence Of the unwholesome and
dangerous character Of his early
associations. From continual
ton Of such influences the people
Of Iowa should arise in their might

children! Mr.. Larrabea's promis-
es are captivating; his record is
damning!-National Advocate.
