Hon. J. A. OvERHoLTzER was
appointed chairman of the committee
to visit the hospital for the insane at
Clarinda during vacation and report
as to its condition and management
upon the reassembling of the legis-
lature. We are pleased to note that
Audubon's representative is doing
good service at the Capital, and is
recognized as among the leaders in
the party, thus proving the peoples
wisdom in honoring him with re-
election. 1t has been noted in these
columns that he has kept his plight
with his constituents in securing the
position of assistant door keeper in
the Senate for VIM. Bintner, of Ex-
ira and for !. w. B. Cole, of this
city, the position of assistant door
keeper of the House. Mr.. Bintner
has been a respected resident OF the
equity for many years, and that he
has been successful in his aspirations
is matter of qualification to his
many friends. Mr.. Cole has been a
staunch Republican, ever ready to
labor in the interests Of the party,
and furthermore the compensation
derived from the position will serve
a good purpose in falling into his
hands.

JUDGE WALTER l. HAYES has
rendered an ePinion that mans evil
dence that he has purchased liquor
at certain place is not competent for
the reason that an individual cannot
give evidence that may criminate
himself. Judge Hayes has labored in
the interest of the liquor league from
the beginning, and has rendered
numerous opinions in their favor,
and seemingly in direct defiance of
justice. He is good judge of law,
horse racing or the ardent. The
Muscatine county convention held
last Saturday, passed a resolution ia
voring his impeachment, but this we
fear is easier in saying than in the
doing.

" NED BUNTL1NE.p

The death last week of Z. T. C. Judson,
better known as Ned Buntline," removes
from the stage of activity man notorious
IN American literature rather than faEous
Judson was not an absolutely vicious
writer; on the contrary, he aimed to exalt
virtue and make vice odious, but there
was that unreal atmosphere, that morbidly
romantic and adventurous sentiment in his
novels that acted upon the unschooled
mind badly, creating discomfort with home
ana melting the spirit that leads youths
to leave home for adventures sake.
He began to write when but l6 years of
age, and never ceased so long as in health
10 "grind OUT sensational yarns His
facility in writing stories Of the yellow
covered order was something marvellous.
1t is said that he wrote a novel of over
600 pages within the space of three days.
The vast number of tales he gave to print
is only equaled by the freshness of his
text and the morbid and wholly inelegant
style he adopted. Yet he had great sue
cess. His books sold like wildfre, and
papers with Buntline for their story-writer
were assured of full sales-testimony of a
most discouraging character, to the i'm
mense demand for weak, silly and NOR
bidly fanciful and unreal literary produc-
lions. But despite the fact that his style
.4yas bad, his method Of narration very poor,
