1888 with an unusually full attendance.
After the usual formality of handShak-
ing and frie ndly greeting had been in
dulged in by the returning delegates, and
the joyful congratulations on reelection
or condolences ON defeat were mutually
exchanged among members during the
forenoon hours, the galleries being al
ready packed almost to Overlooking, at
precisely noon the falling of the gavel
brought the house to order and the ses-
sion's work began. The formal organ
ization will cause no special delay,
there being no deaths during vacation
and no swearing in of new members 50

active operations. Little of import,

the hearing of and comment upon the
presidents message which is long and
of no unusual Importance save the
curiosity to know what the character

"MUCH ado about nothing" properly
expresses the essence of the hue and
cry about the withdrawal of the demo
cratic element from the &. \. r., and
the speedy formation of ''nOn-parti
san, democratic grand army" \ great
deal is being said about the matter
through the press, and many wild and
unreasonable statements have been
made, which as quickly have been fatty
contradicted That some little stir has
been created over it in Indianapolis
and other places in Indiana is doubtless
true, but that 1t has had much effect
outside the borders of that state does
not as yet appear. The attempt to
make the grand old &. A. r., appear as
partisan in any legitimate sense is
fraudulent on the very face of it, and
the entire old army of veterans who
fought shoulder to shoulder and suf-
fered side by side to quell the fiery CON
fict and sustain the Unions cause.

con, greenback, union labor. farmers
alliance, prohibitionist or of any other
political faith vii! never for moment
allow such basely implied SANDER to
stoin the banner Of the Grand Army Of
the Republic.
That every member of that order has
full and free right and privilege to vote
mmOleSted and uninhuenced in any
and every election for whatever party
or candidates he chooses goes without
saying. for that inalienabe right is
guaranteed to each and every member
i'll the very pledges and regulations of
the order, as well as by our cherished
constitution and government. both as
an order and as a nation. Party pref
erence is a privilege and right of every
member. But political electioneerine
or bOmbast is not countenanced in that
army. And it is the highth of absurdity
and presumption for Comrade Palmer
or anyOne else to assume for one moment
that on any such false cry Or unbound,
ed accusation the organization of wal
veterans i'll Illinois, Iowa, Indiana OF
any other state, who sustained the old
flag in the time OF utmost peril can be
rent asunder and turned to fight each

any political party. They have a much
higher, nObler aim, and united they will
stand till death divides.

Removals,

We note this week the removal of one
of Audubons oldest landmarks, not
from our town entirely, but from an old
and excellent location to new quarters
Ill another part of the city. The old
and reliable firm of Mash, Phelps 4
Green have left the old stand over the
Audubon County Bank and moved in
to the spacious and elegant front rooms
up stairs i'll the new Commercial Bank
building Park Place South. Mr.. J. \.
Nash and Mr.. Il. 5. Phelps, are among
the early dwellerS and business men of
Audubon and have been permanent &C
cupants of the elegant rooms which
they have just vacated, since the fall of
1878, where they first opened an Office
IN Audubon, and since which time they
have borne a leading part in all the
legitimate business pertaining to their
profession, and have proven themselves
III every way worthy the strong conf
dence repOsed in them as reliable, efl-
cient business men and enterprising
citizens. Mr.. W. X. Green. the Junior
member of the firm though only resi-
dent here of little more than two
years has long since possessed himself
OF the utmost and esteem of tie PEG
pie by his marked ability and upright
ness, and has added great strength TO
the already strong legal firm, especially
by his superior qualifications rs sue
cessful pleader at the bar,
We hope, however, that the old re-
liable firm, while leaving what we deem
one OF the very best business locations
in the city, may fully meet their high
est expectations of profit in the ex-
change, and prosper if possible, even
more abundantly than they have done
la the golden years gone by.
The Commercial Bank moved into
the new brick building, Park Place
south last Tuesday night and Wednes-
day and now occupy one of the finest
bank buildings in western Iowa. The
inside finish and furnishing is especial
iy elegant. II is hard oil finish on Sc

MORALS VERSUS ART.

Mr.. ANTHONY CoMSToCK, who, as the
head of the Society for the Suppression
of Vice, has of late gained renewed
fame by his crusade against imported
photographs of famous paintings de-
picting the nude, has issued defense
of his action in pamphlet form, entitled
"MoralS Versus Art" 1t would appear
from this that Mr.. COMsToCK'S action
throughout has been amply sustained
by the law, in so far as the prosecutions
he has maintained are concerned, and
in the main the proposition that he lays
down can be acceded to without diff
Guilty. 1t will be admitted readily that
the indiScriminate circulation Of OBJ
scene and lewd matter, whether repre-
Sented in print or pictOrially, has de-
baSing and vicious influence upon the
great mass of people.
But it is not every one that will agree
with Mr.. CoMSTOCK in his view as to
what constitutes Objectionable matter.
Though he may declare that the seclu-
sion of private gallery. to which the
general public is never admitted, is the
only proper place for a masterpiece of
the painters art which may portray the
undraped human form, there will be
few of liberal mind who would not dis
sent from his opinion and declare in
favor of the public art museum or the
depository of artistic treasures. And
when Mr.. COMSTOCK bases his
crusade against Photographic or ell
graved reproductions of these master
pieces upon the ground of their OBJ
Scenity and of their indiscriminate cir
culation he will not find many to admit
that his position is logically correct. If
the original is elevatlng, how can the
accurate copy be debasing?
Nor is the circulation of expensive
imported photographs of well-knOwn
artists work ''indiScriminate." Only
those, as rule, who care for art for
arts sake can afford to be the pur-
chasers. These are in no more danger
of being immorally inclined by the pos
session of the reproductions than if the
Garden of Eden were still the abiding
place of the whole human race. The
people who might not regard them in the
right light either can not OF will not pay
the price asked for them. No harm,
therefore, occurs; while on the other
hand, hundreds of people of artistic SEN
sibilities are enabled to crafty a COM
mendable taste.
But in the suppression Of indecent
advertising photographs and obscene
literature" Mr.. COMsTOCK has broad
field of labor. He would do well to con-
fine himself to it.

THE INDUSTRIAL PARADE.

BY another Sunday we will be in the
midst of our Winter Carnival, and the
prospect is that it will be the most sue
cessful one of all. Within the last three
years st. Paul has gained a worldwide
reputation as the Carnival city of the
United States, and the fame of its ice
palaces has reached the remotest
bounds of earth. But this year it is
proposed to impress upon our visitors
thai st. Paul has something else besides
ice palaces and winter amusements.
1t has wisely proposed to have
an industrial parade as Il part
of the Carnival programme, in
order that strangers might see
for themselves some of the resources
which contribute to our greatness as a
city. No sooner was the idea of an i'll
duStrial exhibit suggested than the
Carnival association took hold of it, and
under the management of Mr.. BUSH
NELL. it has been worked up TO more
magnificent proportions than was at
first imagined TO be possible. Our busl-
ness men realized the Importance of
this feature of the approaching Carnl-
val, and with tnat VigOr and public
spiritedneSS characteristic of our North
western people are going to make
it tremendous success. 1t is
already assured that the industrial
parade will form line four
miles in length. in which will
be exhibited every principal industry of
the city. 1t is safe to predict that this
feature will be surprise to our own
citizens; and if so what an effect, then,
must it have OH the strangers who shall
be within our gates during the carnival
season. Heretofore our visitors have
gone home with the most delightful i'm
preSsiOns of the SplendorS of ice palaces
and our illuminations and the capacity
of our people for cOnQuering the rigOrs
of northern climate and cementing the
winter into season of outdoor sports
and merrimeDt, the like of which cannot
be found in more tropical climates. In
addition to all these delightful impress
sionS, our visitors will go home this
year impressed with the business en-
ergy and the vast material resources OF
the metropolis of the Northwest.
