THE Iowa anti -monopolists are taking a
lively hand in the organization of the new
house. The fact that there are fifty three
farmers, or majority in the lower house,
inspires the agricultural interests with
hope that they may secure some very much
needed legislation this winter. The Far
mers alliance is represented in the lobby
in the person of Mr.. Kennedy, of Ida
county, it's president. He is leading a
strong anti monopoly interest in the
speakership fight and it is believed that his
preference is either for Mr.. Berryhill, of
Des Moines, or Mr.. Wilson, of Atlantic.
The -monopolists are determined the
railroads shall not capture this Legislature,
and so are watching with very anxious eyes
the progress of the fight. 1t is believed
that Mr.. Kulp, of Ida county, is the anti
monoplist candidate for clerk and will
have the pretty general support of the
Farmers alliance.

A Definite Issue.

Cleveland has settled one thing by his
message; he has declared what shall be the
issue to be decided by the Presidential
campaign Of 1888. 1t ia to be the protect
i've system Of the country-whether it is to
be maintained or broken down.
We give most hearty thanks to the Presi-
dent that he has compelled the Democracy
10 abandon their shifty, evasiye attitude ON
the tariff, and that he has boldly interpreted
the furgid, double reading plank OF the
Democratic national platform OF 1884 to
mean reduction of the tariff on line
which will break down its protective
features and render it tariff for revenue
only. The Democratic party is to be con-
sistent in its record. 1t is to continue to be
the enemy Of the best interests of the peo-
pie and Of our nationality.
Here is clear cut issue that must be
party. There must be no evasion Of the
real point. The Republican party 10 planted
squarely on the principle OF protection to
American industries, and can await the
shock of battle NEXT November in the serene
consciousness that the majority OF tho peo-
pie Of the nation agree With Il.
This act Of the President renders possi-
bic new alignment. 1t puts the principle
OF protection on it's trial before jury OF
the American people. All other issues be-
come subordinate. and the campaign will
be fought out on the tariff. The friends OF
protection have nothing TO fear, if they
make good use of their time to enlightsn
the masses upon the question, and show
clearly that Clevelands position neces-
sarily means to reduce the stipend Of every
man who earns his own living by ths work
Of his hands or of his bra n; that Il means
reduction all along the line--to every
body in the country who works for wages,
for hire, or for salary.
There are always. in every community. a
number OF people who are more or less
discontented with existing conditions.

The Southern Issue.

The colorcd orator and ex- Congressman,
Hon. John II. Lynch, Of Mississippi, will
be scorned and derided by the Democratic
press, of course. ON account of his speech
IN New York concerning the suppression Of
the colored vote in the South. That is the
only answer which such speeches receive
nowadays. The facts aro no longer de-
MED; they are simply laughed about in an
insolent and boastful fashion by those who
are responsible for them. 1t il very well
known. as MIR. Lynch asserts, that but for
the systematic process of fraud and vio-
lence by which the colored voters have
been disfranchised by their former owners,
MIR. Cleveland could no more get the
electoral votes of Mississippi, Louisiana,
and South Carolina than he could those of
Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Ohio" They
90 through the forms Of an election down
there, but in the practical sense, as Mr..
Lynch declares, "the polls are closed o.
soon as the Democratic conventions are
held. Only one party is recognized for
any purpose in Southern politics, and only
one race is granted the right to 60 to the
ballot box; in fact, even white men find il
unsafe and improbable to vote unless
they support the Democratic ticket. These
things are notorious, and the Democratic
party ho!ds power by reason Of them. and
chuckles over them with @ghoulish glee, !"
as if they were right and lawful and cred-
table.
There is nothing to be said in defense or
excuse OF such monstrous perversion Of
the principles and purposes of q republican
form of government. It 10 standing re-
proacb, not merely to the South, but to the
| whole country; and 1t can not be put aside
with fiippant and taunting remarks about
the waving Of the bloody shirt. The ma
jority Of the American people believe in the
| sacredness Of the Constitution and the en-
forcement OF its provisions in good faith all
| over the country; and they will certainly
not much longer tolerate a condition of
things in the South which makes mockery
of the supreme Law Of the land and enables
one political party to shut ont all others as
absolutely as il they had no right to exist.
If the particular States which practice this
infamous policy were alone subject to its
effects, there might be some reason for
treating the matter with indifference: but
the truth is that the evil extends TO every
State in the Union and involves wrongs
which touch the very safety and integrity Of
the Government. There il a way to COM
pei change in this affair, and the Repub-
lican party is bound in duty and honor to
insist upon having the remedy applied.
The threadbare cry of bloody shirt can not
distract attention from facts and events
which testify beyond contradiction that fair
elections are unknown in the South. No
other issue surpasses this in general inn
portance: and it will have to be settled
sooner or later, not by any sort OF coMpr0-
mise. but according 10 the strict demands
Of justice, of honesty, snd of loyalty

The Folly OF II.


Senator Sherman brought the debate on
Mr.. Plumb's resolution to Q focal point
when he spoke of the folly of some pas.
sages in the Presidents message, notably
the folly Of endeavoring to create alarm be-
cause there was a surplus of $55, ZOO, 600 in
the Treasury" The later Ocean said
something Of the same kind on the day of
the delivery Of the message.
Mr.. Cleveland himself is 10 blame that
there is such surplus in the Treasury. Con-
gress provided, as MIR. Sherman reminded
the Senate, an appropriation Of IA, ,OOO, 900
for river aud harbor improvements, it being
the opinion OF Mr.. Cleveland chief Of the
department OF engineers that nearly four
times as much could be wisely and profit
ably expended during the fiscal year. Mr..
Cleveland withheld his assent to the bill.
Mr.. Cleveland's personal following In Con-
gress delayed the deficiency bill, with its ap-
preparation of So. .OOO, ,0tQ, beyond the hour
Of Legislative action. But for the Presi-
dent and his Congressional coterie the
surplus would have been less BY ga, ,000,-
600. Nor is this all; his own Secretary Of
the Interior complains that that depart
ment has been conducted with direct loss
Of money to the Government and loss Of
time and money to land buyers BY reason
Of niggardly appropriations. A like vail
10 heard In the Postal Department. The
naval appropriations have been reduced,
and also those for the military schools, for
the sole purpose Of creating . fictitious
surplus which might be used a. means OF
creating alarm. possibly panic, that might
precipitate free trade legislation. Nor 10
this all: the amount Of the surplus has
been exaggerated. Gross has been used
as equivalent to net; . surplus Of 4l4O,.

A Moral for Fruit Growers.

Near railroad crossing, where trains fire.
quently waited for connection berries were
very plentiful. Two women conceived the
idea Of making a little money by selling
fresh berries to the hot and dusty travellers
They forthwith put their idea into execution.
and were soon passing through the waiting
trains offering the fruit for sale. One invar-
iably made ready sales, selling out before she
had gone through d train; the other always
had berries left unsold, and sometimes she
failed to sell any. One made a handsome
little pile" by the eud Of the season; the
other questioned whether she had been paid
for her time
The reason for the success of the one and
the failure of the other was not hard to find.
It all lay in the manner Of service. One of
these women was CARELESS and untidv in her
apPearance the other was scrupulously
clean and neat one measured her. berries
from her basket in cup, filling it with her
hands as she passed through the train; the
other made up little paper holders lined
with fresh, green leaves, and those she filled
with berries before the train arrived. No
one wonders which would sell the best.
Probably some fruit grower may suspect a
moral lying around loose hereabouts. ~

What peculiar, Means.

Appliedto Hoods Sarsaparilla, the word
Peculiar is Of great importance. It means
that Hoods Sarsaparilla is different from
other preparations in many vital points,
which make it a thoroughly honest and
reliable medicine. It is Peculiar, in a strictly
medicinal sense IySf, in the combination
of remedial agents used second, in the pro-
portion in which they are prepared third,
in the process by which the active curative
properties Of che medicine are secured.
Study these points well. They make Hoods
Sarsaparilla Peculiar in its curative powers,
as it accomplishcs wonderful cures hitherto
unknown, and which give to Hoods Sarsa-
parilla a clear right to the title of "The
greatest blood purifier ever discovered"

Cheaper Rail Road Fares.

On the first of January, 1888 ,the Baltimore
and Ohio Rail Road Company will iuaugurate
the sale of local Round Trip" tickets at all
its Offices east of the Ohio River.
These tickets will be sold to any station on
the line east Of the Ohio River, at a discount
averaging about ten per cent Of the regular
rate, and they will be valid for passage for
thirty days, including day of sale. They
will be sold for all trains, every day in the
year, and it is expected that their introduc-
tion will bring about an increase in the
volume Of local travel that will, eventually.
more than compensate the Company for the
in rates.
We have no doubt this voluntary action OH
the part Of the Baltimore and Ohio Comnanv
will be appreciated by the people depending
upon it for the means of transportation. and
believe that ultimate results will establish
the wisdom of its liberal policy. ct

however, was that foreign tagged vessels
were prohibited from engaging in this free
trade between the states. Usually these
vessels did not draw when launched more
than six feet of water, and with but one
exception would not involve cost Of more
than $500 to get them out Of the creek and
up the bay to Philadelphia. 3ut change
came when contracts were offered in the
markets for schooners Of 1000 and 1000
tons capacity. Such ships would draw when
launched eight feet or more of water, and
this depth was met in the creek with mean
depth of 81 feet Of water, so that it became
utterly impossible to compete with other
places for want Of sufficient water, and as
matter Of course the industry was eventually
abandoned However, what has been done
once can be done again, so here are the
figures and vessels.

then she brought glass of water, and told
me to take my dose, and Immediately swal-

The dose tasted like little ball Of dust,

How to Get More Eras.

It is fact but little known to people who
keep poultry, that the first part of hen
which becomes disarranged on the approach
Of disease, is the ovaries or egg producing
organs.
Excess Of fat, exposure to wet and cold
poor condition, shedding feathers, improper
food, want Of exercise, or lack of certain
elements in the food to develop tile embryo
egg, will all produce the same effect and
cause the hens te stop laying
It cannot be laid down as an sironcladp
rule, that when hen ceases laying it is a
positive symptom she will soon be sick but
it can be stated with the utmost assurance
that something is wrong or she would not
cease laying for weeks, and often months.
The annual egg product per hen, in this
country, ranges from three to eight dozen
each. Now this is by far too small. There
is no earthly reason why every hen that laws
at all, should not be made to iay from ten to
fifteen dozen eggs each per year, and con-
tnue to do so for at least five years. We
