The Republican congressional con-
vention at Ottumwa last week was
indeed funeral cOrtege. The train
arrived from the north with seven
coaches filled only with Gods pure
air and sunshine. Three OF the
coaches were left here, the immense
crowd consisting of twelve persons,
besides the band, beng easily ac-
commodated in the remaining cars.
1t was a spectacle that filled
the hearts of gray-haired veterans
with sorrow as their thoughts
reverted to the palmy days
when Iowa rolled up $4,000 major
ity for their candidate. "Alas !!
how have the mighty fallen J" This
is an object lesson that must cause
every thoughtful man to enquire !;
"What means this mighty change 2"
Let the protected American labor
err reply.-Farmer and Miner, Oska-
lCosa, Iowa.

The Republican papers taking
their cue from one source keep talk
ing about Carnegie men who refuse
So day, and endeavor to impress
the people with the idea that these
So men comprise a majority Of the
strikers. These $8 men are the
strongest evidence Of the honor,
determination and principle in organ
lied labor. They strike with their
laborers who get low wages because
they see the handwriting on the
wall that rings the death-kmell OF
organized labor and brings in the
rule Of scabs.-Fair Play.

It will BE Red Hot.

Here's a chance to have some fun
and be interested. "Brick" Pome-
roy, editor of Apvance Thought,
Rooms 46, World Building, New
York City, has changed his Monthly
paper into Fortnightly issue, the
better to help carry the Peoples
party fight into the very heart OF
the old parties, and viii send itlat
81 year, or three copies one year
for So, or one copy three months for
rs cents, or four copies three
months for ST., or ten copies three
months for So aud one copy free to
the getter up and sender of one Of
the clubs of ten. Pomeroy has
taken down the old pen he used
when editing the La Crosse Demo-
crat, and will make it do hot and
pointed work from August LIST to
November LIST, three months during
the coming great campaign, and
will be of great help to our common
cause, in proportion to the circu-
lation given his paper. Every labor
organization in the country should
help to push the circulation of Pome-
roy's Advance Thought in clubs and
singly. When man or woman can
send 81 for five copies, or So for
eleven copies for three months, they
should do 80, and as many more
dollars as they can spare. 1t will be
worth far more than the price Of the
paper to read what "Brick" will
have to say about the old parties
and their workings, and especially
of what he knows of the Tammany
gang in New York. To get the full
three months campaign issue, send
on so he will receive the names and
the money therefor soon as possible,
as it will be the hottest kind OF a
paper from first Issue in August to
the close of the campaign. Each
Issue will contain one Of Bricks
original cartoons or pictures that
will tell.

CAPITAL and Labor.

1t may be claimed that there are
two kinds of capital, viz, the capt.
tai in brains and muscle, and the
capital in soil, forests and mines.
The wealth in soil, forests and
mines is useless until brain and
muscle have been employed in the
transformation of soil into food and
clothing, and of forests and mines
into dwellings,, railroads and manu-
factories. 1t is God and the great
busy beehive of workers that made
the earth in all it's grandeur, splen-
dor and beauty. Not Carnegie,
Astor, Vanderbilt or Gould is enti-
tied to any credit for our great cit
les, long lines of railroads, vast
manufactures, or our bursting
granaries, or cattle on ten thousand
hills. In fewer words, God created
all undeveloped wealth, or capital,
and the farmer, miner, operative
and mechanical develop wealth,
or capital.
No man, not an idiot, or insane; is
without the capital Of brains and
muscle, and these gifts are freely
bestowed upon all, in some degree,
by the Creator. Soil, mines and
forests are also Gods gifts to His
creatures, just as surely as water
and air are His gifts, but water and
air alone are free.
To-day, in every nation and every
cline, brain and muscle are "cor-
nered" and held by the few. With
out food, or other necessaries, the
brain withers and the body dies.
The capital in brain and muscle
is denied to large number of the
human race, their natural and only
process of development, in the lack
of such employment as yields a liv-
ing Nowhere is that form OF
capital adequately protected unless
it be in the republic of Switzerland
From human, or christian, stand
point, the first duty of government
is the protection and development
of mind and muscle.

If there is anything at all in that

The late Republican state con-
vention was one of the goody-
coolest conventions that party has
yet brought forth. 1t favored all
the measures the Peoples party
members of the Legislature favored at
the last session of the Legislature
but it must have forgotten that, from
one end of the state to the other, the
Peoples party was cried down, vii
lifted and prosecuted for the same
position the Republicans assume to
take now. If the Peoples party
measures are right now, they were
right two years ago; and II not
right, the Republican party is now
in guilt, or acting its usual role OF
hypocrite. Smith, Lynch and An
thony give it badly away, And Tor
a pretense, they, like the Pharisees,
make long platforms

Mr.. Anthony.

Mr.. Anthony is great mana
man of resources-a man Ut origin
atty. Mr.. Anthony is in favor Of
multiplying CLOCKS Of five' by
four, which would make twenty.
So it may be claimed that MIR.
Anthony is the master architect OF
the Republican party. MIR. Dudley
could only build with CLOCKS OF
five" Mr.. Anthony, in comparison,
is very giant. Mr.. Anthony, with
his railroad derrick, can hoist into
the Republican building whole
blocks of twenty, to be cemented
with clay from out of the bloody
chasm. But Mr.. Anthony is
original. Mr.. Anthony favors a
Republican bureau OF correct
information. The bureau will con-
stitute a Republican press censor.
No Republican paper, under Mr..
Anthony's plan, will be permitted
to publish anything, good or bad,
until it has been sanctioned by his
bureau. And thus, the good vote
'er-straight Republicans will all read
the same thing at the same time.
No variation of statement ; no varl-
alton of belief. If the bureau
should claim that Jerry Simpson
has taken to hose, all the Repub-
lican papers will say SO or, if the
bureau says that Jerry Simpson
wears halfhose, all the Republican
papers will say so-all the same
week or, if it should become
necessary, in order to beat jerry
to claim that Jerry had appeared on
the platform barefooted, all the Re-
publican papers will be bound to
publish, with large head lines. Or,
if it should appear, upon invest
igation, that Mrs. Lease was born
on one of the South Sea islands,
and had developed strong canmbal
tendencies, the same Twill appear,
simultaneously, in all the Repub-
lican papers. And thus the faith
full will move heavenward(?) in solid

The evils of the present laws and systems of
insolvency in the several States are widely
felt in all business circles and especially in
all commercial centers of trade throughout
the country. Their evil effects are
not alone felt by Eastern mer-
camille creditors. but are also con-
ducive of heavy cost to Southern
and Western merchants as we'll. Uniform
State legislation thereon would be highly
beneficial to all classes of the community
and especially to the business interests of
the whole country, and would be invigorat-
ing to the vast system of interstate COM
merce. 1t is hoped that the commissioners
will succeed in harmonizing views on this
as well as the other subjects for their con-
sideration and will be able to recommend
suitable legislation thereon to their several
States, which may eventually be crystallized
into efficient and uniform laws in all of the
States of the Union. The task is q hard one
to SO harmonize the divergent views as to
bring about such q result, desirable as it
appears to be to all thoughtful minds; and
some years of earnest and united effort will
be required on the part of all of the friends
of reform to accomplish It

June 10.-Haines's Bluff was fortified
with capacity to hold 40 900 troops, and so
arranged that 10000 could defend it. This
day Pembert0n was sending word to John
ston: 4" shall endeavor to hold out as long

ing the river above or below Vicksburg,
and swimming across again opposite Yicks-

June 11.-Grant told Sherman that rein
forcements were expected, and if Haines's
Bluff were besieged ne (Sherman) would be
detailed to take command of it. Believes
that large reinforcements have come from
Bragg with the intention of helping John
ston raise the siege of Vicksburg. Nc
Pherson and Sherman were to hold a part of
their corps in readiness to move to Haines's
Bluff. Particular instruction was given
McClernand about his course if the Vicks-
burg garrison attempted to break out, ex-
pecting relieving army. And on this day
Heron, with his big division of troops, came
to complete our line of investment He took
his position on our left, next the river Lau-
man closed up on HOyey, and from rivers
edge below to rivers edge above the Vicks-

break its prison wall.
Three days afterward Cen Parke arrived
with two divisions of Burnside's Corps, and
was dispatched to Haines's Bluff The army
now numbered from 10000 to $4,000 men.
