petition in the interests of temperance
gotten up by the women of his district.
Larrabee has the distinction of being
alone with Hayes in Withholding con-
gratulations from Senator Allison.
The words of Gov. Larrabee which
embarrass his friends and astonish his
enemies are the natural and legitimate
elimination of his peculiar political
career. 1t has been his ambition to be
greater than his party, and in his spec
ialty acts he has been coddled and APP
plauded by the mongrel press and ele-
mentS of the state. His specialties
have been load upon the republican
party; during his incumbency the ma
jorities have steadily decreased, and
his warmest friends agree that Il"
would have been defeated had he been
on the ticket last year.
If those words are accurately quoted,
and they have not been disputed, the
governor has but confirmed the donbts
of his opponents and Inundated his
friends.

Things Theatrical.

The citizens of Clarinda, during the
past week have had the pleasure of
witnessing some of the finest theatrical
performances ever given in the city.
The celebrated Hunt Comedy Company
opened last Thursday night in the most
beautiful of all Irish dramas entitled,
The Colleen Bawn." The stage set
tings in this piece were of the finest
kind, while the acting could only be
criticised in the most favorable terms.
On Friday night they produced the
beautiful domestic comedy founded on
Whittier's well known poem entitled.
Maud Muller" Mrs. Hunt was in the
title role and held the audience spell
bound, when she laughed the audience
dience cried. While Sam Hunt kept
the house in continual roar when
ever he appeared on the stage.
Saturday night they produced "Our
Bachelors made famous by the cele
brated comedians Robson and Crane
but We doubt if Mr.. Hunt has his equal
in the part of Judge Jowler" In this
part he is the typical old time judge,
who will not marry himself, or have
anything to do with any one else who
marrieS.
This play made the hit of the season
the audience never stopped Laughing
from the time the curtain rose till il
went down, many going home with
aching sides.
A grand double bill was produced on
Monday night. Mr.. and Mrs. Hunt
opened with fine little comedietta en-
titled. THE Happy Pair" which dis
played their comedy power to the best
advantage, then followed Miss st. AIva
and Fred and Sadie Raymond in songs
and dances, and the evenings, entertain
ment concluded with the laughable
comedy entitled "The Private Secre-
tary'' with Mr.. Hunt in his celebrated
imperSonatiOn of Mr.. Cattermole.
Little Nell' the "Firemans' Ward
was the play last night with the entire
company in specialties. Mrs. Hunt
played the part of Little Nell'' simply
perfect; between her and Mr.. Hunt the
audience laughed from beginning to
end.
The SUPPORT was the best ever seen
in Clarinda, while their conduct during
their stay in our city showed them all
to sbe ladies and gentlemen and the
Herald wishes them success where ever
they may go.

Allison's Finances.

The correspondent of the Cednr
Rapids Gazette has found out that ALI
son is not the wealthy man he is repre-
sented to be. The correspondent says
Your correspondent met Senator Al
lison today. 1t has been said that he
does not care anything about the criti-
cisms made upon him. but from his
language and manner, we Judge the
Senator is considerably exasperated.
He seems particularly sensitive about
the reports of his great wealth. "These
reports are absolutely and unqualifedly
false" said Mr.. Allison. IL am one of
the poorest senator's" he continued. and
he then explained his financial situa-
ton. From his wife he inherited Du-
buque property to the amount of $50
600, which she owned in her own right.
All his property is located in Iowa save
small tract of land in Minnesota.
The Senator says Dubuque assesses
property at full cash value. His assess
ment is 1924 500. 81 will deed away"
he said, "all my Dubuque property for
$4,000, and on this there is a mortgage
of $4,000. l do not own a dollar of
railway stock or stock of any corpora
ton OF any kind. l am not worth as
much today as l inherited from my
wife"
"Why don't l deny these reports? l
have denied them time and time again.
l have also fully explained my relation
with the Sioux City railway case, and
now thepaperS are at that again. They
say | don't define my position on pro-
hibition. Haven't l made speeches
from two to three weeks every year
since prohibition has been under dis
cussion? Have l ever found fault
with the party for its position on pro-
hibition? Certainly not. A good Re-
publican wants to know how l stand
on prohibition. l asked him if he had
not seen my letter and he said no. |
don't see how can make my position
clearer"

How To Get RID of Weeds.

| How To Get Ria or weeds.
There are two things to be done:
First, prevent further seeding and the
further introduction of seeds; second.
destroy the seeds and plants now in
the soil.
Farmers cannot be too careful about
the source OF grass seed. Weeds Of
some of the worst types are thus dis
tributed. Where it is possible,i it Is bet
ter and safer to grow ones own seed.
or procure 1t of some thorough, careful
farmer near home. The older the coun-
try, as rule. the more likely it Is to
furnish ox-eye diasy. yarrow. rib-grass
and other tenacious and troublesome
weeds.
Foul seed is dear even as gift. 1t
Is cheaper to pay triple price for clean
seed than TO be perplexed with the
trouble Of getting rid OF the weeds In

spread out on the table in a very thin
layer TO aid in the discovery of the seeds

In certain cases one or move hoed

NEARLY two weeks have elapsed
since the members of the Iowa legisla-
ture convened and as yet no organiza-
ton of the lower house has been effect
ed. The republicans have fifty repub-
lican votes, against which are allied
forty-six democratic and four indie
pendent notes.-the latter serving all
purposes as democratic votes. About
eighty ballots have been taken for tenn
porary clerk, resulting always in a tie.
Before the house conyenes both parties
hold caucuses in order to see that mem
bers are all on hand or that prayers are
properly arranged. The first PROPOSE
ton made and recommended by COM
mittee from each party was rejected by
the democrats. Other propositions of
compromise have been made by both
sides, but the democrats reject every
thing that does not give them the speak
ership and the craftsmanship of the
chief committees. There is no promise
or indication of break in the dead
lock, both sides being determined, al
though the state is at an expense of
SO, 600 per day to maintain the situa-
ton. So far as the republicans are con-
cerned they have unanimously renomi-
mated Senator Allison, and can now
await with equanimity the pleasure of
the democratic and independent men,
bers. The senator's present term does
not expire until March, 1891, and can
complacently await the ratification of
his unanimous denomination. 1t is not
so peaceful with the democrats. They
elected one Mr.. Boies, of Waterloo, gov
ernor last fall. Mr.. Boies has his in
augural address written and with the
scroll in hand stands ready for intro
duction to the full emoluments of his
office. A horde of hungry hogs" as
the chief democratic paper terms the
democratic office seekers, are enthusias-
tic for realization of long fondly cher
ished hopes. In short the democrats
are now on the anxious seat.
1t is peculiar feature of the contest
that the four independent members are
acting as devotedly with the democrats
rs any members who were elected as
such. The question arises, are not
these independents under some obliga-
tons to the people as independents?
Having been elected by members of
both parties can they not with marked
consistency arise above party and fur
nish the key to the situation? Being
independents they are not under obi
cations to party. Their present posi-
ton is not independent. 1t is striking
ly partisan, and acting with democrats
they are accomplishing nothing. Dem
ocrats are expected to adhere to their
party, but the so-called independents
are simply acting as obstructionists
Mr.. Ewart, the independent member
from Poweshiek county, was elected
because of his prohibition views, anG
yet he has voted unremittingly with
the democrats, who are by their party
pledged to make a law that will plant
a saloon in every county. Ewart''
position is strikingly inconsistent. Ii
company with his fellow independents
he could well afford to rise above party
make organization possible, and receive
the plaudits of the best elements o.
both parties.

THE boast by prominent democrat
of Dubuque, that nineteen democratic
members of the assembly were ready to
stand by Allison in the event of any at
tempted combination, recalls the fact
that once before-in 1SSl-an Iowa
democrat stood up in convention and
voted for Allison against even the dem
ocratic nominee. This was none other
than Senator NJ. NJ. Ham, Of Dubuque,
central committeeman, postmaster and
machine boss. Nothing was at stake
then, but Mr.. Hams courtesy at that
time established shining precedent
for the present exercise of common
sense by any Iowa bourbon who feels
that way.-Times- Republican.

IGNORANCE of law excuses no man
for wrong doing or for trivial offenses
which may be committed thoughtlessly,
and yet but comparatively few have
opportunity of knowing the nature of
the laws passed by the succeeding gen.
eral assemblies. A great many people
are in favor of publishing the laws as
passed in county papers, thus giving
every man chance to read and know
just what the laws to which he is ex-
pected to conform his conduct are. 1t
is objected to by some because of the
expense it would incur, but really that
is comparatively small matter. 1t
costs great deal, to be sure, to make
laws, but having made them the ad-
ditional cost of circulating them should
not prove barrier to general intelli-
gence. AT least comprehensive syn
opsis of the laws of each general assem-
bly, should be published in one or more
papers in each county, and if the ex-
pense is considerable factor retrench-
ment inaugurated in other departments
can make good the difference.

ALLISON stood for and favored the
Hennepin canal; favored the inter state
commerce bill: favored and supported
in his speeches last year the Iowa rail-
way law; favored its continuance with
out the slightest changes. That he has
not taken particular part in all local
Iowa controversies is to his credit. 1t
leaves him to stand for the entire party
and not for faction. ingalls, does the

ticipate. The seventy-eight republi-
cans in the caucus voted unanimously

sition to him whatever. Senator ALI

THERE is nothing so ridiculous as the
appealan which democrat makes in
speech favoring purity Of the ballot
box. Every noted election fraud in this
country was OF democratic origin.
There are a half dozen democratic SEN
ators and twenty democratic members
of the lower house in congress who oc-
cupy stolen seats, never having been
elected by an honest and lawful vote
Every democratic victory in New York
is won by the corrupt and fraudulent
vote of New York and Brooklyn. The
present governor of West Virginia
"holds over from his last term, the
fraudulent democratic legislature
having refused to make an honest can
vass of the votes which would place
Governor Golf in the Office, and Govern,
or Wilson claiming, in the absence OF
any canvass, that he shall remain in
Office till his successor is declared elect
ed and qualified. The Democrats tried
TO steal Montana by series of precinct
frauds at the late election. The history
of the Democratic party is history of
corruption at the polls, and 1t has main
tanned an existence for twenty five
years past by virtue of every crime that
can be committed against the suffrage.
