The Chicago Times in speaking Of
the G. A. r. encampment at Daven-
port, says the war In Iowa is still In
progress. The encampment Of the
Grand Army at its late meeting In
Davenport passed resolutions con-
demning the action OF the secretary
OF the interior for half masting the
United States flag on occasion Of
the death Of Jacob Thompson. The
heroes Of Iowa are full OF fight, and,
rather than not fight at all, they
move in solid columns on the grave
of dead man. The same body also
passed resolutions Of thanks to
General Sherman for his labors in
proving that Jefferson Davis was q
traitor. There are some people who
suspected this before the researches
OF Sherman brought out tho fact.
1t is only about q year since Sher-
man demonstrated the treason Of
Davis and the enthusiasm OF the
Iowa people over the discovery,
even although made quarter OF q
century after the fact was known to
everybody else, is something quite
thrilling and celebrating. It is a
pity that some patriots had not fnr-
Their aroused the enthusiasm Of the
Iowa encampment by announcing
to them the discovery that Ben
Butler has cock eye, that the late
Robert E. Lee was q secessionist, OF
that Gen. Sidney Johnston fought
against the union. Possibly the
most surprising thing which could
be communicated to the body would
be the intelligence that the war
between the north and south ceased
some twenty years ago. To- people
who find their backbones thrilling
over the news that Jeff Davis was a
traitor, the Information that the war
is over would be OF the most as
founding nature.

Tired and Languid Women.

How many women there are OF
whom these words are true: "They
feel languid and tired, hardly able to
bear their weight on their feet, the
bloom all gone from their cheeks,
irratible and cross without meaning
to be, nerves all upset, worried with
the children, fretted over little
things, q burden to themselves, and
yet with no acute disease" What q
pity it is. But q few bottles OF Park
er's Tonic will drive all this away,
and relieve the troubles peculiar to
their sex. MAY

Emancipation Ia Cuba.
Havana Letter. |

Slavery is almost obsolete in Cuba.
In 1888 emancipation will be thtoreti-
cally comp fcte, but those who have legal
freedom now arc practically still in
bonds. Emancipation has been gradual,
and to- day the value of a slave is merely
nominal, few being sold. The blacks
are tho happicst people OH the island.
They suffer from no panss Of patriotism
as the Cubans do, aud have not the un-
supplied wants of the Spaniards. Their
needs are few; and banana with lit
tie rice Is sufficient to afford them life
and happiness.

Self.Impeached'
iowa Tribune,

The following editorial appeared
in the Register OF Dec. 19, 1884:
When Gen. Weaver was making
his canvass OF the Sixth District last
fall, he tried to win the support of
the soldiers by q dcmegoguc prom
ise that he would endeavor to have
the government pay them what they
lost on gold basis by the deprecia-
ton OF the greenback currency
which the government paid them
during the war. Like the ieme-
gogue he was, he went up and down
the district magnIfying the in justice
which he claimed was done the SOL
diers, and pledging himself to try to
have the government do what he
knew at the time 1t Ought Not To
Do, and Nerer Could Do. He knew
that, II the government should
attempt to pay for the depreciation
OF currency during those years, it
would be In duty bound to reim-
burse every man with whom it had
dealings who had received the de-
preciated greenback. He knew that
1t would require billions of dollars
to satisfy the legitimate claims that
would be presented, should the gov
eminent undertake to make this
repayment. Aud yet knowing it was
impossible, and harmful to agitate
the subject he went about stirring
up feeling and discomfort"
Now read the following editorial
from the Register Of March ID, 1885:
"A Grand Army post at Hartford,
In this State, announces that it is
going to carry up to the Supreme
Court the case Of Henry II. Gains,
to recover the difference between
the value In gold and greenbacks he
received In the Union army. There
is a strong element Of Justice in
this sort Of claim. Everybody else,
nearly. bondholders and all, got
their dues from the government in
Gold. The Soldiers Did Not. The
man who loaned money to the gov.
eminent in deprecated greenbacks
got It back In gold. The govern
ment could well afford to pay its
soldiers on on the basis OF gold now,
for their pay was very little ut the
best"
Will the brethren OF the press
please pass this o round?

Chiidren,s Food.

Some people think it perfectly right
that children should be made to eat
everything that is set before them, but
in carrying out this singular theory too
often the gravest injury results. An
eminent city clergyman told me that
the mere sight of liver cooked in any
form made him ill. When quite lit
tie fellow his stern father, who was one
of the sort that would permit no "non-
sense" as he expressed it, with regard
to children's likes or dislikes as far as
food was concerned, insisting that they
should not exercise any taste or choice
in the matter, required him to eat some
liver which had been put on his plate.
There was something about the partic-
ular piece of liver that set the child
against it, but he was forced to swallow
the repulsive morsel, and ever since
his stomach has rebelled even at the
thought of the gross piece OF tyranny
which was practiced upon him. 1t is a
sound rule for all OF us that with re-
spect to food our likes and dislikes are
the best guide as to what is good for
us, and il is safe to eat upon the plan
that whatever we relish will prove on
TIC tNeIdpc iuIuitSS huu WnOlcSOulcy
and whatever produces disgust will
prove, as a general thing, indigestible.
A recent writer on this point has fully
expressed my opinion in saying that
nothing can DO more wrong than to
make children eat fat. for example,
when they don't want it. A healthy
child likes fat and eats as much of it as
he can. III Inc shows signs OF disgust at
fat that proves him to be OF bilious
temperament, and hc ought mover to
be forced to eat it against his will. A
good many OF us have disordered diges-
tione in after-life simply because we
were compelled to eat rich food in
childhood which wc felt instInctively
was unsuitable to us. "-Erchd',ge.
