We are surprised and shocked to
learn that a person of Bro. Mead's
reported intelligence would put hiM-
self on record in the very first item
on his editorial page as intimatlng
that the evils of intemperance are
secondary to the evils of the national
banking system!-The Mitchell Tenn
perance Power.
And we are panied and shocked
that newspaper should be found in
Iowa proclaiming its people a class
of drunkards, and their Incorporate
habits the cause of their poverty.
Very few indeed are they who have
the comforts of home who would
become addicted to habits of intem-
perance. The exceptions are with
those Graded in the lap of luxury
and to whom home and habits of in
dustry are strangers. The wicked
financial system of our country is
responsible for the evils of intemper-
ance equally with the seller of intoxi-
cants, The financial system through
systematized robbery reduces to
poverty, destroys pride, and drives
it's victim in misfortune to the how-
ing bowl to drown his sorrows. Hal
lam in his Middle Ages, Rollin in
his Ancient History, Gibbon in his
Greece and Rome in fact all writer's OF
any note of ancient history assign the
great cause of degradation and ignor-
ance OF the masses, their impoverish-
ments by the concentrated wealth
of the few in the ownership of land
and the contraction of the money
circulation of the people. Sir Archi-
bald Allison assigns the latter as the
cause of the ignorance, poverty, in
temperance and degradation among
the Peasantry of the British Isles, on
the one hand, and the riotous living
on the other by those who are in the
enjoyment of this plumber illegiti-
mately taken from the victims OF
their rapacity and injustice. To the
money power of the United States at
the head of which stands the national
banks.is given the power to fix the
price on every days labor, and upon
every product of the land or loom,
and upon every foot of land by giving
them the absolute control OF the
money that may be in circulation
and use among the people. And to
make this concentration of wealth
more rapid in the hands OF those
cormorants than was ever done in
the dark ages, these institutions for
every $40 invested are supplied by
the government with the means OF
drawing interest upon 500 in govern
ment bonds and national bank notes
exempt from every species OF tax.
A class of men who have such means
OF plunxlering the people provided
by their government, would be glad
to have hundreds of Branch Brothers
AL over the land attributing the mis-
fortunes of their victims to intemper-
NICE.

pared the papers which he hardly sup
posed would need to be changed He
thereupon handed the papers to Lincoln.
Lincoln took them and read them over
carefully while Stanton waited. Stanton
in the mean time tried to draw him out on
the case, but he had nothing to say,
and as he saw him read on carefully
through the case, Stanton looked on and
wondered If after all ne might not be mis-
taken and his assistant be greater man
than he thought. A day later the trial
came off. Stanton made the leading speech
and it took MIN a full day to deliver him
self. At the close of the speech he said
there was one of the defendants in this
who had employed another lawyer, and
with that he motloned TO Mr. Lincoln and
said he supposed the court would give him
chance to make speech. Throughout
the trial Lincoln had been the observed
man IN the courtroom. and when he now
arose every eye was upon him. He ad
a. e ised the court and made speech of
about one hundred words and then sat
down. III these one hundred words, how
ever, he presented an entirely new asnect
of the clse and one which brought forth
an issue which Stanton had entirely over
looked or whicl he did not consi Ter
OF any moment. AS he sat down the Judge
said: well, gentlemen, what have you to
say as to that pointH Mr. Stanton and
the other lawyers said they had not con-
sidered it, ana the judge said "Well, gen
tlemen, it is upon that point that the
whole case hinges" and, in short, this
speech of Lincoin's decided the case and
gave it to his client. Lincoln saw no more
OF Stanton from that day on until he was
elected President of the United States, and
Mr. Stanton was here in Washington as the
attorney general in Buchanan's admins
tration. Lincoln held little communication
with him until Simon Cameron resigned the
secretaryship of war, and he then ap-
pointed Stanton to this position. 1t was
truly magnanimous act, considering the
way Stanton treated him in Cincinnati"

WASHINGTON, Jan. s, 1871 Special cor
Tespondence of TIE HERALD l-Senator
ingalls, has had his headquarters al Topeka
for The last three weeks, and the senatorial
election which win take place there at the
last of this month promises to be as inter
esting as any ever known in the history of
Kansas. Kansas is a state Of surprises.
and it is not an impossibility that the
''Sockless Simpson" may take the place of
the ''Irridescent Ingalls, 1t will be a
calamity if he does so, but it will be no
greater surprise than was Ingalls, first
election, just eighteen years ago. No one
then thought he had the ghost of a chance.
and you will not find his name mentioned
as a candidate in the newspapers prior 10
the day of the election. He was at this
time young lawyer of Atchison. He had
come to Kansas with little more than the
clothes on his back, from Lynn, Mass. and
had hung out his shingle III Atchison. He

Kansas; and who had. il was supposed. a
majority of the legislators Kansas eiec-
lions were at this time not noted for their
purity, and the air was full of rumors to
the effect that Pomeroy was buying voters
right and left. His opponents saw that
they could only defeat him by trick. and
through one of the state Senators they
brought about that famous interview
which resulted in Pomeroy's political
death warrant and which elevated John ].
ingalls, TO the United States Senate and to
fame. The whole plot was kept a
secret until the legislature met in
joint convention to elect the Seua
tor. The Pomeroy men were confident
of their success and as they took their
seats their faces shone with the smile of
confidence and the Senator at his hotel
laughed and ioked as he chatted of the
prospects. AS the speakers gavel fell there

cast their ballots for Pomeroy to elect him
Nevertheless, when the vote was taken
twenty minutes later, Pomeroy did not re-

We have just learned Of curious nc
Ncident which befell the team Of Otto
Barber, Of near Dixonville, recently.
Some time ago Mr.. Barber in prospect
ing for coal dug hole in one Of his
fields about sixteen feet deep, and sue:
ceeding in finding the coal he filed the
hole up again, and going down the hill
to the proper place started q drift, the
mine passing directly under the place
where be had been prospecting. a few
weeks ago he was narrowing in the field
and his team passed over the site, when
the loose earth gave way suddenly, car.
rying both horses down, the timbers be.
ing the only thing to prevent them from
going clean into the coal mine.
Mr.. BARRIERS first thought was that his
team was lost, and that the best thing to
do was to cut the animals throats and
bury them where they were But upon
further thought he went to neighbours,
and securing help took the tinbers of
the mine ont and let the horses clean
down into the banks. Then, tying their
feet together toprevent them from strug
Cling, he dragged each animal out Of the
mine BY tho means Of long cable and
team at the entrance.

Of the bank to where the horses fell In,

were not much injured, and were able

The Typewriter In the schools.

A suggestion that the course Of in
struction in our public schools might
properly include stenography and the
nse Of the typewriter has brought out
the faet-not generally known before
that the city Of Lynn has already intro
duced these studies in the evening
schools of Lynn as, indeed, in those Of
ton-there have been classes in short
hand for a number of years.
Typewriting has been taught in these
schools for one year, and IN the Lynn
English high school for yet longer
tine. The results are said to be very
encouraging. There would seem to be
no reason why such instruction should
not be included in the course of our
higher schools everywhere ~ Boston
