passions.

THE democrats of Iowa experienced
extreme difficulty in securing q candi-
date for the highest gift they have to
bestow in the state. Several of their
bright lights were rendered the nomi-
nation for secretary of state and all de-
clined. At last the office was sent out
among the riffraff in search of a man,
and it found him-one George c. Heb
erling, of Jackson county, who is a dis
affected republican. When the repub'
lcan party in Iowa championed the
prohibition cause Heberling cast his
lot with the personal liberty party, and
stands proudly upon the democratic
platform in Iowa today. The party
made itself popular with the railroad
managers in nominating railroad COM
missioners opposed tolegislation tending
to control corporations AS between the
people and the railroads it has cast its
lot with the latter, and that of the sa-
loon element. The people of Iowa are
not in temper to favor party appeal
ing to the unpopular sides of these mp
permost issues, and the vote in Iowa in
November will show largely increased
republican majority.

Congressional Candidates.

The republican congressional conven-
ton for the Ninth district will be held
at Council Bluffs next Wednesday. The
situation is so seriously complicated
that none of the candidates can con-
template the result with any degree of
satisfaction. Chas. NJ. Harl, of Counr
Gil Bluffs, and who has succeeded Maj.

convention with the largest support.

case the democrats should endorse

worth and ability would cause a land
slide to bury the agitator at home. II

THE democratic congressional nomi-

INGALLS, MEANNESS.
The Unutterable Pusillanimous Dispo
ton of the Kansas Man.

The speech which Mr.. ingalls, of
Kansas recently delivered in the United
States Senate on the pensions bill was
extremely malignant Its author DEM
onstrated, although the demonstra-
ton was unnecessary, that he is keenly
sarcastic and master of invective,
and that there is perhaps no other man
in the American public life SO skillful
in the art of saying trenchant things
in a parliamentary way. He insulted
President Cleveland, and also the
memories OF Generals Hancock and
Mcclellan; and perverted fact to the
extent of declaring that no Democratic
constituency in the South had ever
elected Union soldier to either branch
OF Congress. The speech was bitterly
partisan. Its purpose was to revile
the Democratic leaders and to revive
sectional animosities. and Mr.. Blaclf
burn fifty characterized it when, in the
course of his calm and courteous but
vigorous reply, he pronounced it an
insult to the dignity of the Senate.
The bill before the Senate was framed
by the Grand. Army of the Republic,
and provided for the extension of PEN
sions to disabled veterans. Whether
the proposed beneficiaries, who ilnper-
at the most critical period in its his
tory, should now, in their old age and
helplessness. be protected and sup
ported by the Government they helped
to save or be left dependent on the
charity of their neighbors is problem
for reason and gratitude and not for
passion to solve. There is nothing in
the proposition that calls for an APP
peal to the hatreds born of the war.
Those who fought against the Union
now realize as fully as those who
fought for it that it was fortunate for
all the struggle resulted as it did. They
are thankful, Notwithstanding that the
war cost the loss of thousands upon
thousands of lives they held dearer
than their own and the sacrifice Of
their fortunes, that the Union arms
triumphed. Had it been otherwise the
condition of the country would now be
deplorable and its future threatening
In these circumstances, if it was Senator
ingalls, desire to secure the passage of
the bill and thus assist the old soldiers,
he should have appealed to the judy
ment and sense of fairness of the South
ern representatives Such an appeal
would not have been in vain. But this
was not his desire. He did not discuss
the question from the standpoint of the
patriot and statesman, but from that
of the partisan and demagogue. He

THE OLD FLAGS.

SickenIng Meanness of the Latter-Day
Bloody-Shirt Saints.
From the reply of the Secretary of
War to the Boutelle resolution re-
speeding the return of Confederate
flags, it appears that in 1867 Secretary
Stanton issued an order permitting
the return of number of them. This
will be news to the Republican Shrek
ers who were so loud in their denun-
CT alton of President Cleveland for Civ
ing his consent to the order of the
Secretary of War proposing the return
of all flags, Union and Confederate, to
the capitols of the proper States. Sec
rotary Stanton having been "trooly
loil even during the days of recon-
struction, it will be rather difficult for
the Republicans to find fault with
President Cleveland for doing just
what Secretary Stanton did two years
after the close of the war.
When the "great war Secretary -
returned the Confederate flags, Thad-
deus Stevens was the leader OF the Re-
publican party in Congress. He was
the bosom friend of Secretary Stanton
anu oiCu udI Tie OlucI
The return of the flags in 1867 was not
made without the knowledge of Thad-
deus Stevens, but the "great COM
moner' did not rise in his place to Of
fer resolution condemning the action
of Secretary Stanton or even to pro-
pose an inquiry into his conduct Bit
terly as Thaddeus Stevens hated the
South he was incapable of the ineffable
meanness of censuring the Secretary of
War for performing an act calculated
to restore good feeling between the es-
tranged sections of the country.
1t remained for the latter-day Re-
publican saints to hold up their hands
in holy horror at the proposition of the
war Office to return the captured flags
of both armies to the States to which
they properly belong. What Edwin
M. Stanton did and Thaddeus Stevens
quietly acquiesced in the knights of
the bloody shirt twenty-three years
after the surrender at Appomattox

against the loyal spirit of the Ameri-
can people. With the Republicans of
the present day the world moves, but
it moves backward. -Harrisburg pa. }

Mental Telegraphing.

1t is said that the Indians on the
plains have always practiced a system
of mental telegraphing among them
selves, by means of which they COM
municate with each other almost in
simultaneously. and without messen-
gers or signals. This mental tele-
graphing is by no means peculiar to
the Indians on the plains of the United
States. The same thing has been don e
by many people on the plains aud
among the mountains. both in Amer
lea and other countries, and is to-day
and always has been one method of
manifesting knowledge known to and
practiced by many persons. The man
ner in which such communications are
made seems to be and is great mys-
terry. Many theories about it have
been suggested, all of which fall far
short of satisfying the minds of the
people as to how it is done. The fact
that such communications are sent
and received, and that they are often
genuine and true, and that such is one
mode of manifesting knowledge, is
now almost universally conceded. y

PUNGENT COMMENTS.

prlsing, considering the way they have
been taking to the woods lately. -Bos-

weary grasp of John Sherman it was

If the Republican party is to
come within sight of regaining what
it lost by the deplorable laundering of
1884 it will have to do something to
make the campaign of 1888 represent
something very different from what it
did four years ago.-PhiIodelphia Tel

The present managers of the
Republican party insist that they
don't want to be bothered with the
support of anybody but "straight Re.

will supply the Democratic party with
more political capital than any thing
of recent occurrence, as it is such di-

Usually, since the war, it has
been the custom of the Democratic
party to wait until the Republicans
had put forth their candidates and
their platform before taking similar
action itself. This time it seems to be
possessed with the courage of its con-
victions. 1t practically says to its
great opponent: Nominate whom you
