The March of the Caravan.

Perhaps the weirdest and most impress
i've Of the many unwonted memories that
the traveller carries away with him from
travel In the east is the recollection of the
camel caravans which he has encountered
ut night. Out Of the black darkness is
heard the distant boom of a heavy bell.
Mournfully and with perfect regularity of
iteration it sounds, gradually swelling
nearer and louder. and perhaps mingling
with the tones of smaller bells signaling
the rearguard of the same caravan. The
big bell is the insignia and alarm of the
leading camel alone.
But nearer and louder as the sound be-
comes, not another sound and not a visible
object appear to accompany it. Suddenly,
and without the slightest warning. there
looms out of the darkness, like the appari.
ton of phantom ship, the form of the
captain of the caravan. His spongy tread
sounds softly on the smooth sand, and like
. great string Of linked ghouls the silent
procession stalks by and is swallowed ur

The Illinois Idea In lows.

81. Louis hepuDIc.
The Joint assembly to be elected il
Iowa next year will choose the successor
TO Senator Wilson, whose official tern
will expire March 4, 1895 It's possible
too, that Senator Wilson's official life
may close before that date, owing to his
voluntary resignation on account Of III
health. In either event next year will
see, in Iowa, another practical test oil
the Illinois idea OF electirg United States
senators. In that state. too. it will
meet even fuller t,st than it had in
Illinois in 1890. tor the Iowa republicans,
since the declaration OF the Iowa demo-
Gratis that they would nominate Horace
Boies, have not found themselves in q
position to refuse the challenge offered
in this way. They will undoubtedly be
compelled To accept 1t, aud this being
the fact it is to be hoped that they will
accept as their candidate q man worthy
TO meet Governor Boies in a discussion
before the people of the state of the
questions which viii then be of real i'm
portsnce in determining their political
action. 1t is evident that the lows cam
psign OF next year. il fought on these
lines, will be Of more importance than
any state campaign which has occurred
in the country for years.
1t is much TO be doubted whether re-
ports from Iowa pretending to show divl>
sions in the democracy of the state as 10
their most available candidate are 10 be
fully credited. Governor Boies is the
only logical candidate for the Iowa
democrats in such a campaign He is
not only the man who has saved the state
from hopeless republicanism. but he is
now the only man the Hawkeye demo
Gratis have in sight who can hold impor
tsnt elements in it's voting strength 10
make 1t doubtful Furthermore. he has
become g national figure by and through
the force of his personal popularity in his
state and his public addresses, which
have marked him as q man of close and
connected thinking and coDrise and
force full expression. His candidacy will
give the contest wider dignity and in
portance than any other man could confer
upon it, and bring to the support of his
party the moral sympathy and active in
terest of the national democracy.
