Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1896-04-14

people Of the district make no COM
plant against him. They rather like
his bluff, hearty way. They admit
that he has represented the district
thrOugh'his three terms fairly well, as
well as the average member of con-
gress; no better no worse. But they do
feel that three terms is all he is entitled
to; all that he should ask for. A large
majority believe that some other live,
progressive. representative man should
be chosen in place of Mr.. Updegraff.
Many prominent republicans believe
that in Hon. James E. Blythe we have
such man. Young, energetic, ele-
quent, able and ambitious he has come
prominently to the front in early life
AS chairman Ofthe State Central Com
mittee he has done noble work for the
party in this state and his services are
entitled to consideration. The State
Register says that no man ought to be
sent to congress except on his merits,
and pertinently adds: Tried by this
test Mr.. Blythe is one of she best equip
ped men for congress in Iowa to-day.
Let the party strive to secure harmony
and select only such men to represent
it as have shown by their previous acts
that they have the interests of the
whole people at heart. This is a year
for republican victories, and success is
sure in the Fourth district if wise nomi-
nations are made and followed by con-
slant vigilance and earnest effort.
Yours for the fray,
VENI.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
Written for the PUBLIC OPINION.

Written for the PUBLIC OPINION.
Abraham Lincoln to thee we owe more than
n earth's gold can buy;
Out pray to God from Earth's green sod a
D crown you'll wear on high.
Dadiant Diadems encircling the Redeemer of
II the freed.
A nations gift from Heaven and our friend in
n time of need.
llaloe's brilliant as brightest sunbeams,
III America shall adorn,
And shed brightest rays of Freedom upon
n each future morn;
AAeritorious worth unparalleled, you gave
wi your life for slaves.
I ct Blue and Grey, due tribute pay ON Colum-
L bias soil and waves,
indellible let 1t ever be, you broke each bond
mans chain,
Mo more to clank on brothers limbs, or cause
N the heart to pain:
comrades Wen ne'er forget the brothers
U cruel fight,
nr that bloody contest hand to hand where
u God did aid the right.
I ct peace and harmony prevail with color,
L sect and creed,
never forgetting Abraham Lincoln, the
N Father of the Freed. .

Gov. CAMPBELL, of Ohio, advises
the democrats to compromise on the
silver question. He ought to know by
this time that compromising in the
democratic camp is thing of utmost
impossibility.

SINCE Perry Belmont has taken to
writing letters on the silver question it
is fair to infer that Perry has SO far for
gotten his Congressional experience as
to be again hungering after public life.

LILLIAN RUssEL'S new contract re-
quires her to forfeit $4,000 if she mar
ries again before it expires. 1t will be
no easy task for Lillian to live up to
this contract, for she has peculiar af-
tinity for marrying. She has only had
four husbands.

CONGRESSMAN JOSIAH PATTERSON,
who lately declared himself to be Mr.
Cleveland's personal representative on
the floor of the House, is in fair way
to get beat out of a denomination by
the Tennessee silver democrats.

CARLISLE is after the democratic
presidential nomination. He will dis
cover that his name is too intimately
associated with bonds to go down the
throats of even great number of the
members of his own party.

A Webster City paper has launched
the boom of Horace Boies for the de-

our uncle Horace is too sharp to drink
in so empty an honor.

IT is said that New York carpen-

1t is not composed of water. How ice

put is for skating purposes.

IT is alarming how many cases of
suicide occur, and which are daily re-
ported i'm the newspapers. 1t seems
either the people are getting weaker
minded or else there are too many
things to think about in these days,
causing a kind of a bewildered state of
the mind, or perhaps little of both.

DIR. MACDONALD, of Washington, is
and has been making experiments upon
the minds ofstudents, and makes many
valuable suggestions in regard thereto.
There is no doubt but that this is a
profitable field of research, as there are
a great many more things to think
about in connection with school work
than mere devotion to the study of
books.

THE LOpE. LIGHTS OF HOME.


The bird to the nest and the bee to the
comb
When the night from the heavens falls
dreary.
And love to the light in the windows of
home
The light of the love of my deare
And love to the light like swallow in
flight,
When the storm blows the stars from the
blue Of the night
And a kiss from the red rose, a smile from
the white
In the gardens that bloom for my dearie
The ships to the harbor from over the foam,
When the way has been stormy and
And love to the light in the windows of
home
The light of the love of my dearie!
And love to the light, like the bloom from
When the spring suns weave wonders of red
aud of white,
And the darkness of winter is kissed to the
bright
In the gardens that bloom for my dearie.
The bird to the nest and the bee to the
comb,
And never night shall fall dreary
While the lights in the beautiful windows
of home
Are lit by the love of my deariel
And love to the light, like bird from the
night,
Where angels in lilies loves litanies write,
And kiss frem the crimson, smile from
the white
In the gardens that bloom for my dearie.

gestiou for remonctizing the cow shall be
treated with the same respect as the pro-
posal of the silver miners TO remonetize
silver? Equal rights are demanded in
the mints of the country for the coinage
Of gold and silver bullion, and the right
eous demand is now made for nm equal
right for the coinage of the cow. The silver
mining classesdemand thepririlege of fore
ing coined silver money upon the masses
(spelt with an m or otherwise) under the
fiat of law. May not the farmers demand
the equal privilege to force cow money
upon a trustful community? Dare any
one say that only asses would bear either
burden without any resistcnce?
Irrtlie confidence of the justice of this
ease, the benefit to the farmer and the
great market which it would create for
his products, a reversal of the crime
against Cow Money is now called for.

Merry young fellow the mystery Of tho
robbery would never have been explained.
He was upset to some extent by the words
and the sight of the man whom he knew
to have been long dead. hut not so much
that he hesitRted TO follow after. The
wrath led him toward the old fish house
ms before, but this time Thornton was
fully dressed. He could see Lacy as
plainly as he could see the buildings along
the streets, although there were no foot
falls hut his own. He passed several
pedestrians, but they saw him alone.
The wrath took straight course for the
fish house and entered it, and did not again
reappear, while Thornton hung about for
awhile and then returned to his bed. The
tumble-down building was not such a
place as he cared to enter at midnight.
Early the next morning he went to the
| firm of Bass, Williams & Girder and
told them of his two midnight advent
ures and suggested that the fish house
he searched. He was simply laughed at,
but he got a policeman and visited the
place, and under lot of old nets and
refuse they found the satchel which eon-
tanned all the bonds and every dollar Of
the stolen money!
The whilom friends of Lacy were jubi-
liant, but they had the detective to deal
with again. One of his theories was that
Lacy hid the satchel there; the other was
that Thornton was his confederate and
had given up the plumber because afraid to
touch it. So reasonable did this latter
| theory appear that the young man was ar
rested and he might have gone to prison
had not crook named English Joe"
got bagged and made n confession. He
had known of the plan to rob the concern
| and was aware that Hastings and Ford
were to do the job. They were the men
| who were lost by the upsetting of the boat.
1t was believed that they were to leave
the harbor by fishing smack, and that
they were pulling about to find her when
they lost their lives. They had hidden
| the satchel temporarily, but ii was so
| well hidden that it had been walked over
a hundred times. Articles taken from the
| dead mems pockets were identified, and
after patient investigation no one could
longer doubt that things happened ex-
| actly as Lacy related.
