A DECISION was rendered by the
United States Supreme Court last
Monday declaring as unconstitutional
that clause of the Iowa prohibitory
law which interdicts the carrying OF
liquor into that State by railroad
companies. The decision is a strong
blow at the prohibitory law of Iowa,
as it will be much more difficult to
maintain prohibition in the state if
the railroad companies are moi
restrained from hauling liquor into
the State.

SENATOR HARRIS is out in letter
to Hon. b. F. Ragland Of Browns
vile, in which he states that he will
be candidate for reelection to the
Senate, and will canvass the State as
soon as Congress adjourns. He goes
on to explain that when he said in
his Maxwell House speech that he
would not be a candidate again it
applied only to that race, which was
already over and won, but had no
reference whatever to the future.

The Democratic party in Tennes-
see has now nice four-in-hand race
for Governor. The present incum-
bent, Gov. Taylor, holds a good lead,
with Hon. T. M. Mcconnell of Chat
tanooga, getting out pretty lively on
the quarter stretch. Hon. w. P.
Caldwell, of Weakly county, will &C
into the convention with quite 8
number of West Tennessee counties
solid for him, and Hon. j. A. Trous
dale, of Sumner, has considerable
strength. We are still for Bob, but
we are afraid the contest will grow
so warm between he and Mcconnell
that both of them will get left.

SOME men get up an illegible, fish
ing worm scrawl for signature and
are so proud of it that they have a fac
smile rubber stamp made of it. A
circular was sent out from the Uni
versity Of Tennessee at Knoxville
this week with the rubber stamp
signature of the president, Charles w
Dabney, Jr., affixed thereto. The
name looks like anything else or
earth except Dabney, as the fate o.
this circular proves. Both of the
Nashville morning papers printed the
circular Thursday. One of then
printed the signature Charles w
Wabing, and the other Charles w
Waburg. Mr.. Dabney had better lei
his name be printed in plain Englisl
type on future circulars.

Grand Meadow Record: The Prohibi-
tionists of Spring Valley were pretty we'll
sold last Tuesday night. They invited
Rev. G. W. Merrill of Minneapolis, to
give them temperance lecture. He
gave them some plain talk and proved
in most eloquent terms that everybody
ought to vote the Republican ticket. He
says he is a red hot Prohibitionist but not
. third party man.
Grand Meadow Record: President At
wood and Secretary Hodgson of the
State Farmers Alliance visited the Grand
Meadow Alliance last Saturday and de-:
livered speeches IN the interest of Al
bert Scheffer for governor. Secretary
Eckford read letters from 10 Alliances in
Minnesota on their preference for Cover
nor, most of them declaring in favor of I.
Donnelly. A. D. Moore arose and de-
clared himself for Merriam. There did
not seem to be much of a Scheffer senti-
ment.

LOVELY Is NO BOLTER.

Journal: Hon. John A. Lovely, in q
etter in to-day's st. Paul Dispatch, EN-.
phatically denies several statements made
by that paper regarding his position in
First District politics. He says: "The
statement that Mr.. White and myself are
opposed 70 Mr.. Dunnell, is, so far as
am concerned, untrue. 1t seems to me
that common decency ought to protect
anyone from the accusation Of boiling
without some proof of that fact; but
more seems to be necessary for some.
Let me therefore say that l am not
bolter: and do not intend to bolt; that I
am Republican and hope to see the
nominees of my party elected without
reservation or qualification of any kind
I have only 70 add IN conclusion that if
any Democrat wants me to bolt he will
not be gratified this year."

BASE BALL.

The base ball game between the Austin
and Mason City clubs Friday, proved to
be an exciting game. As viii be seen by

own way until the ninth inning when the
visitors made 4scores tieing the game. In
the first half of the eleventh inning the
game was called on account of an acct
dent. At that time the score was even
and Mason City had two men out. The
game was one Of the best ever played
here. Our boys are making splendid

Extend the Merit System.


The objections to civil service reform
come principally from those who are or
who aspire to be politicians. To have
the Offices filled by worthy and competent
persons, whose term of Office is not de
pendent on the success or defeat of any
party, would rob this numerous class of
their stock in trade. and permanently re-
tire them from politics.
What difference dees it make to me
whether the postmaster Of my village Is
a Democrat or a Republican,, if he be
competent and obliging? The same is
true of the county officers. Politics
should have nothing to do with them, for
they have nothing to do with politics.
There are only few political Offices
Why should the nen-pclitical officers,
when experience has made them capable,
be turned out every time the party senti-
ment changes, and their places filed by
inexperienced men whose only merit is
their partisanship? There can be no
satisfactory answer given to this question
in the affirmative; but that they should
be retained as long as they are efficient
and honest is patent from these reasons:
First, it would be saving of expense;
secondly, 1t would secure better service;
thirdly, it would elevate and refine poll
tics.-P. F. Hallock, in August Century.

largely in the cost; the forces of steam
and electricity which have so reduced the
time and cost of importing goods into
this country, would without any doubt
bring the cheap labor Of Europe in direct
and immediate competition with our own
labor. Europe has the carrying trade on
the ocean in her own hands; I do not
want to have them convey our raw pro-
ducts to Europe IN their vessels at the
expense of our producers, and there con-
vert them into manufactured product
with her cheap labor, and return them to
US, when it will surely have the effect of
reducing the price of labor that produces
tie same articles in the United States.

why we should oppose the reelection of
