Nobody decked him with mmortelles
He was only a common soldier.
Nobody gave him a goodbye fcte,

Watching for Jones, the fourth in line
Nobody cared how the battle went

Through the coat undeckel with leaf or star.

STORY OF a TIGERS LAY.
The Sioux City Journal relates III
following: The case now before tn,
Harrison county grand jury which ex
cites the most interest is that in which
the state accuses Sherlock q Dakota,
~saloonistS of Missouri Valley, of various
things. Tho trouble ct ,rt.d this way:
The saloonists mentioned keep the bn
ton bar In the town, and have
gambling rooms attached. A spoiled
child, one James H,rker, sen of a
prominent and lately wealthy citi-
ION, was fitted out by his father as a live
stock dealer, and given a credit at the
bank. Instead Of purchasing swine he
bet on a pair of queens and an ace at
Sherlock Il Dakota's. Then, with grief
at his loss, he started with some SO 600
in cash for Sioux City. His luck did not
change here, nor at LIE Mars, where the
prodigal was found, dead broke, by his
father. He was taken back to Harrison
county and sent out on one of his fathers
farms. lie soon returned to Missouri
Valley with his young wife, and again
sought recreation In stud poker, and bat
tied with the hosts of faro. When bis
money had again passed into the posses.
sion of the gentlemen behind the green
board he went to the proprietors and TOLD
them that they must stake him 80 as to

he could get no more money. They re
fused, and he entered complaint against
them for keeping o gambling house-in
short, he squealed. But he could not
stay away, and coming into the saloon
one evening, they put 1t onto him. His
cries of "Help" and Murder brought
in Conductor O'Neil, of the Sioux City
q Pacific passenger train, who was pass
ing the door. In trying to save the man,
who was being badly pounded, the con
ductor received several hurts about TIL
head. Harker got out with his unneces.
sary life, and the father, to whom he
had brought 80 much trouble and lose,
took up the case. Complaints were
entered against Sherlock & Dakota
for assault with intent to do
great bodily harm. The case
strolled on the change of venue path
through the rural townships, from one
country justice to another, according to
the usage of the bandaged eyed goddess
of the steelyard and cheeseknife in this
sovereign state Of Iowa. As usual in
such cases where defendants have inan-
ces there was no punishment at the time.
Then In the usual course of business the
law and order league of the town talked
about having the place closed, and, as
is customary, let the thing end in talk.
So 1t Is that the eyes of Missouri VAL
leyans are turned to-day toward Logan,
the county seat, and their talk is of
grand jury, indictment and Sherlock &
Dakota.

Theplatform adopted by the New Y ork
democratic state convention last week
condemned the actual administration of
OF the civil service law, as the same
has been executed by the republican
party. Thus it has been ever since the
republican party first attempted to put
down the disorganization of the Union,
the democratic party condemned it.,
and declared the war to be failure.
during the days of reconstruction the
democratic party condemned it. Soon
after the war when the republican party
was upholding the national debt and
was endeavoring to provide means for
its gradual payment the democratic
party condemned such action of the re-
publican party and declared in favor of
reputation. When the republican
party was providing for and carrying
into effect specie payment the democrat
ic party condemned such action and
thus it is that the democratic party
continues to be nothing except party
of opposition and ready to condemn
anything and every thing good or bad
which the republican party has done or
is about to do.

The democratic platform adopted by
the New York state convention last
week contained the following resolution
on Gen. Grant, "Resolved, that with
profound sorrow the democracy of the
state of New York lament the death of
that inferible patriot and invincible
soldier, Ulysses S. Grant, (applause) Of
whose illustrious career they recognize
the fitting crown and consummation in
his doing invocation of peace and good
will between the heroes he led and the
heroes he conquered. (applause.) The
resolution was unanimously adopted,
every delegate rising to his feet" On
this subject the Orsg0nian has the fol-
lowing appropriate comment: "Your
democratic politician has cheek enough.
Witness his performance in the New
York convention, in the resolution re-
lating to Gen. Grant. After having
vilifed and DETAINED Gen. Grant
throughout the heroes whole life; after
having tried to make both his military
and civil career failure, and after
having nisrepresented, lied about and
belittled both, he now comes up in the
character of still more picturesque
and intrepid liar, and gets in resolu-
tion to the effect that nobody ever adj
mired "the invincible soldier and in
flexible patriot" as he did and does.
How long has it been since he was
calling Grant drunkard, d military
butcher, person with no mind above
bul! pups and vulgar gifts, betrayer
of President johnson, liar to Secreta-
ry Seward, a corrupt despot in the
White house, the companion of revenue
thieves and partaker of their spoils2
Truly your New York politician is a
liar for an emergency"

Congressman Warner, of Ohio, was
recently asked if he thought the Bland
bill could be repealed without a sub
stitute being provided therefor. In
response Warner said: 81 do not be-
lieve it can, and I will say more, d,
not believe it ought to be- This is not
mere question Of coming a few mill
ions of dollars, more or less, in a year,
but it is question between bi-metalism
aad mono-metalisn. The present
coinage law is only thread by which
silver is held in our monetary system.
Strike this law down without any sub
etitute and hi-metalism is overthrown.
Silyermen understand this perfectly
well. A change in the standard from
both metals to one in face OF the vast
Indebtedness that ROW weighs down
modern nations would be nothing less
than stupendeus crime I will in
trOduce nay bill. whaea is intended as
substitute for the Bland bill, at the as
sembling of congress. 1t will be op-
posed by the extreme gold and extreme
silver men, but I believe there are
enough men who fayer nay proposition
to carry it through the house. ] think
all will agree that such bill will effect
a more permanent settlement of the
silver question than wssld a change in
the weight of coins, and ne doubt

ant matter will lead to an immediate
and lasting revival of business through

Cholera. Precautions,

NEW YORK, April 24.-A conference of
the health officers of New York, Brooklyn,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Haven and
Boston was held at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
yesterday, to discuss quarantine matters
generally, and to agree upon uniform
regulations SO as to prevent the introduce
tion of cholera into this country. 1t was
decided to establish more rigid rules
and to throw additional safeguards
around those now in force. The matter of
the admission of old rags was taken up and
fully discussed, and it was concluded to
establish q close quarantine against
them, and to allow none to be landed ex-
cept after being thoroughly boiled or
steamed by the superheated steam process.
The sulphur process was declared to be a
allure, and the conference decided against
It. It was mentioned incidentally that the
fact of there being so few cases of small
pox in New York City during the past
month was traceable to the stringent reg
ulations requiring all old rags to be disin-
fected. The decision reached to make a
close quarantine against all old rags will
be carried out at all the Atlantic ports, and
will, it is believed, prevent the introduce
jon of any disease into this country
through hksuchgimportation. -e
