Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1888-04-27

Notwithstanding the excitement Ill the
republican camp, the old democracy goes
on its way scarcely noticing the prepara-
tions made by the enemy for the coming
Ggb. This shows the difference between
the parties. The republicans are all
blo,p and bluster, while the democrats are
cool but decided. The republicans are
demonstrstive; they glory in speech
making, drum pounding, blowing
and fre-worka. The democrat in the
meantime goes about his regular avoca-
ton, but never forgets election day.
The noise republicans make leads
them to suppose that they are the
dominant power IN the land; but
when the democrats get their work
in, the g. .. p. usually finds that the ques-
ton as to who is boss in this country is
not yet entirely settled. The old, time
tried democracy is as firm as a rock; the
waves of frothy agitation may dash
against il, and at times oyerwhelm il; bnt
they recede again, leaving it without the
loss of an inch Of ground. While the
government remains, the democratic par
ty will remain. It is the guardian of free
government, ever keeping IN view the
Fundamental principles upon which such
n government depends tor its continua-
tion. Federaizts, ~higs, and republicans,
have each in turn strOve Tor the mastery;
but the two former organizations long
since passed away, and the latter will soon
follow them. 1t ID only the democratic
party that survives.

NOTES ABOUT NOTARIES.
Best llorScman in Congress

representative Joe Cannon. of Danville.
is the oldest member of the Illinois dele
CATION in point Of service, having been in
Congress since 1873. Fifteen years is
a long time i'll Congress, but Mr.. Cannon's
constituents have kept him here with
persistence which indicates unbOuuded
confidence in his ability and usefulness.
Congressman Cannon Is one of the few
members of the fifteen years service who
doesn't own property in Washington. He
has a beautiful home back i'll Illinois, but
in Washington he has been satisfied to live
at Il hotel. Ia u handsome suit of rooms
at Wizards fronting on Pennsylvania av-
enue, Congressman Cannon and family
make their Washington home. Here they
have spent the winter seasons for several
years, aud here Mr.. Cannon prepares his
debates, attends to his correspondence
and discharges the manifold duties of a
Congressman outside of session hours.
MIR. Cannon cannot be called Il rich man,
although he Ia comfortably endowed with
this worlds goods. Neither is he n sOci-
ETY. man. Still he and his wife and two
daug ghters, Miss Heleu and Miss Mabel,
are prominent figures in the society of
the Capital City. Both are tall aud strik-
lngly handsome, aud are favOrites with
the circle in which they move. Wizards
is noted for its social events during tho
winter season, and the Canuons aud Mr..
and Mrs. W. Il. Morrison, Congressman
and Mrs. D0okery, and Major and Mrs.
Warner are among those who had given
spirit and added interest to those occa-
sIons. Mr.. Cannon learned to dance Mt
the "hoedowns" along the Wabash Bot
toms, in Illinois, years ago and he has not
forgotten how. While he may not be
strictly parliamentary" in his pigeon
wings, he is yet graceful and certainly an
thusiastic. Besides being an exquisite
dancer and an able Congressman, MIR.
Cannon Is promising equestrian. Al
most any fine evening, after the adjourn
ment of the House, he may be seen "out
for CONSTITUTIONAL astride his big bay
charger. He rides with the characteristic
ease and grace of all Westerners, and IL
probably the beat horseman in Congress.

The President Writes ScOrching Veto Mes
sage.
WAsHENGTON.-Ihe president has veto
ed the bill for the relief of Maj. Dan
n. Barb, paymaster of the United
States army for the loss by theft of
$1,000 in Wyoming. In his message the
president says: Il am thoroughly con
vinced that the interests of the public
would be better protected if fewer private
bills were passed relieving Off
cials upon Slight and sentiment
al grounds, from their pecuniary
possibilities; and the readiness with
which army officers join in the applica-
tions for condonation of negligence on
the part of their army comrades does not
tend, in my opinion TO maintain that
regard for discipline and that
scrupulols ohserE auce of duty which
should characterize those belonging to
their honorable profession. L cannot
satisfy myself that the negligence made
apparent in this case should be over
looked.

BRAClNG UP TO BRITAIN.
The Argentine Republic Serves Notice
on England Regarding the
Falkland Islands.
She Says They Belong TO Her. and.
Furthermore. She Intends
To Have Them.

NEw IoRN,-It appears that Great
Britain is not TO be permitted TO eniov
peacesble possession of the group of Nal,
vinas, or Falkland Island, which are So
situated off the coast of Patagonia as to
command the southern SeSs. In decidedly
tart correspondence which passes between
Sir F. PscSephsm, the British minister to
the Argentine Republic, Senior n, Quiruo
Costa, ths Argentine secretary of foreign
affairs, and which has been published IL
appears that the Argentine Republic as
the successor of Spain ia sovereignty
IN the southerau part of South America
mss always claimed thee islands. They
lie directly in position to control both
the route Sround Cape Horn and the one
through the straits of Magellan. Their
chief value Is purely a strategic one, and
Great Britain des res To hold them for
that reason. From the CORES poudence
referred to 1t appears that the Argentine
Republic makes the following claims re.
gardlpg these islands: FIRST thai hy the
treaty between pRiu aud England signed
IN London Jan. ~, 1871, by Plenipoteu-
tia-y Prince MsSerauo and Count Roche
fort, Spain sgresd to restore the English
settlement of Port Egmout 10 its original
stSte, retiring its own rights to sover-
eighty over the Mslviuas islands and CON
thinning 10 hold them ia possession; second,
that In lI4+, when the English abandoned
the settlement of Port ESmout without
leaving single iuhsbitant of their
nationality on the island, the Spanisrds
who had brought the French settlement
of Soledad, the largest island in tho
archipelago, remained in possession f,the
whole groun until 1910, without protest
from the English governments, or any
claim put forward on its part to a better
right.
Other reasons are alleged showing that
Argentine, from her standpoint, Is in
titled to Posst sSiOu, and furthermore in
tends to have II. She has announced to
England that she will choose a fitting
time to recover them
