AN UNHoLY BARGAIN.
Democratic Dirty Work In Iowa Which
May BE Tried In other States.

Democratic Dirty Work in Iowa Which
May BE Tried In other States.
The minions of darkness are always
more vigilant than those of light. We
are informed by reliable persons, who
say they positively know, that money
has been furnished by the saloons or
the Democratic party to a few mems
bers in Iowa of the Womcn's Tenn
perance Christian Union, to secretly
ascertain what women, who are mem-
bers of the Union, will act with them
in the interest OF the third party
movement, and retolutionize the State
Woman's Temperance Christian Union,
and at the approaching State conven-
ton GUST Mrs. Ellen Foster and put a
third-party woman in her place. The
women in the scheme are furnished
money to pay the yearly dues of all
members who will act with them, and
then, when the time comes to elect
delegates to the State Woman's Tenn
perance Christian Union, to object to
those voting who have not paid their
dues. In this way. the scheme is to
work sharp game and elect all dele
gates who favor a third party in the
whisky interest. This movement is
inaugurated all over the State. The
messengers in this mischief are active
in Des Moines, and letters have been
received from other parts of the State
sounding the alarm. If the true and
good temperance women in the State
are warned in time, they have the
spirit and the true interests of tenn
perance at heart sufficiently to
squslch this dirty scheme in the bud.
Look out for them, and be on hand,
with dues paid and the soul full Of
good resolutions, ready for noble
work. The enemy is encamped about
you. bushwhacking. and the friends
of temperance and the home must be
active. -Des Moines Register.

The fact is that they are in mortal terror

MIR. Cleveland many electoral votes, and
after his dishonest pretences about the
tariff and the Civil Service had secured
him the support of many thousand voters
in the doubtful States, even then
he would have been beaten had
not an accident changed more than
600 votes at the last moment. They know
that the false pretences are possible no

British school, and as the most shameless
abuser of the appointing power since
Martin Van Buren,. They know that

President Cleveland has just shown what
his high sounding professions are worth

given the Office to Mr.. Lowering, a spoils
Democrat. Aside from the sympathy
which will be felt for Gen. Banks. who
now retires. poor and old, from the public
service in which he has spent his life.
there will be an indignant protest against
the injustice done to good officer and to
the Office. Mr.. Lowering is an anti-reform
Democrat who was last year nominated
for Governor in order to indicate the hos
tility of the Democrats to Mr.. Cleyeland's
civil service reform pretensions. Yet we
hear no word of protest from James Rus
sell Lowell and the Mugwump tribe. En-
cept the approaching denomination of Mr..
Cleveland, there il no reason for the re-
moval of General Banks, the present mar
shall, whose term of Office has
not existed for three wears. His
removal and Mr.. Coverings appoint
ment are a direct and unconcealed endeavor
to use patronage for the precise object

Conspicuous a. he makes his English
conceit In writing and talking about this
country, he finds some things in America
that are not entirely unworthy of the
good opinion Of the true men of all nation

poor man in the United States is not so
severely oppressed "a the American Free
Traders and Bourbon politicians would
make it appear. Not wishing to mouth
the precise words 30 oft used BY the
Golden Club propaganists, Arnold makes
it the burden of his criticism of the level

thing is regulated here for the advantage
of the man with small income without
due regard for the men having fifteen

ahominably cut up by rails and blocked

cabs the convenience is for the bulk of the
community who, but for the horse-cars,
would have to walk. The ordinary
railway ears are not delightful, but
they are cheap, and they are better fur
