- Representative Hepburn, of Iowa,
speaking of the recent election in that here

pie in the East do not seem to understand the
political situation in Iowa. 1t is not Pro-
hibition but emigration that has reduced the
Republican majority. Since 1880 not less
than 10000 or $1,000 voters have emigrated
from Iowa to the States and Territories West,
and nine-tenths Of them, at least, are Repub-
licans. Dakota is full of them" Iowa is

Settled by the Court.

The Plain Dealer, some time ago and
at various times, had occasion to express the
opinion that there would be four Democratic
senators from Hamilton county in the legis-
lature, and that there would be Democratic
majority in the senate.
When the Republicans, beaten in the cleo
tion got their case into partisan circuit
court and procured mandate to the county
clerk to issue certificates TO the beaten Re-
publican candidates, there was much shout
ing amoung Republicans. We were inform
ed that great victory had been won.
ThePlain Dealer, nevertheless, reiterated
its opinion that the four Democrats would
get their seats, and calmly admonished the
rejoicing Republicans to watch the NEXT move
in the game.
The next move has changed the aspect of
affairs. The state supreme court has revers-
ed the decision of the circuit court and order
ed in effect that the certificates of elect on
shall be given to the four Democratic sena-
tors.
The four Democratic senators will get
their certificates accordingly. They will
take their seats in the senate, which will be
Democratic. The court of final appeal has SO
decided, and SO it must be.
The game is pla, ed out. How do our
esteemed Republican friends like the end
ing?-Piain Dealer.

and thr ee cloves. Chop. After the
mixture has stood an hour let it stand
another hour. Shake in some pepper,
broil and serve hot. Itis eaten with

2. One and half pound alum and a
horse radish. Add handful Of mercu-
rial ointment and cover with water.
When all is dissolved, strain it carefully
into pan and throw it away.
3. Ask your grocer for an ounce galli-
snap that from Jalcoppia is best. Cut
it into slices little thicker than one
dollar greenback, but not quite as tn lex
as two. In each slice enfold slug,
or if no slugs can be caught. something
else will do. Crate some nutmeg into
an empty plate and lock it up in the
cupboard; then 90 ON with the other
thing. Two whiffs of tobacco smoke,
some Silton cheese, q dead cat and q
ripe egg will add piquancy to the com
pound. Lemon peel and brandy are
good. each in it's way, but either would
spoil this dish. Stir everything in that
you have lying about, moisten, mash,
and bake az hard as ever you can.
Good to throw at dog.

pers, ginger to suit the taste. Stuff it

tCutions
According to the Belmont Courier of
the oath instant, Indian Dave, who was
indicted by the Grand Jury of Nye
county Aug. 5th, 1884, for numbering
Chinaman near Keyser's Springs, and
who, on the Goth of November last, was
found guilty as charged, was hanged on
Friday last at Belmont, Arriving at
the scaffold he asked permission to talk
to the Indians who had been permitted
to witness the execution. This having
been granted, he addressed them in
Shoshone, and whatever he may have
said or asked, he met with few respon-
ses from some of the Indian spectators.
who, let it be said, were perfectly quiet
and orderly, although each one as adj
mitted was carefully searched, only two
of whom had to be disarmed.
Courier, that this execution has been
worth more for the protection of life
than all the decisions of all the Supreme
Courts of all the States under existing
laws. This is not the first fruits of the
decision of our Supreme Court in the
case, which, for brevity, we will style
the State of Nevada VS.. Spanish Jim,
an Indian. We will not criticise the
decision of the Court in that case, but
we do not hesitate to say that it was
based upon the damnable law, and as a
consequence Eve Indian murders were
committed in this vicinity within as
many weeks thereafter. Within as
many months this murderer's victim
was killed.
The immediate effect Of that decision
was 10 make the Indians of this vicinity
believe that they could rove, rob and
murder with immunity. 1t is believed
that the immediate effect of this ex.
ecutiou win prove more salutary than
the Supreme Court decision to which
we have referred. This is the first ju-
dicial execution Of an Indian by whites
in this State.
