MkW to redden the green out of the
foliage the veterans of the civil
war in thirty-tifth national encampment
will assemble in the State where their
order had birth. Not in the city where
the original post of the Grand Army
of the Republic was instituted, indeed,
but in the borders of the State where
the idea was first promulgated and car
ried into effect. Next August the vet
Grams will meet in Chicago, but the
army, once an appreciate proportion
of the grand army which dropped the
sword for peaceful pursuits, is fading
away with the lapse of years.
Boys in years and animation when
the smoke of the big guns curled about
Fort Sumter, nothing but gray boards
remain to-day. Veterans then have
long since passed over the great divide.
Nine years ago the army was nearly
twice as strong as 1t is to-day. 1t Is
fitting indeed that as the day draws
near when there will be no Grand Army
left these who still cling to life should
return to the old homestead in reunion.
Born of the consciousness of son of
Illinois. native TO the Prairie State, 1t is
lifting that the Grand Army should
meet again In the State that gave birth
to the designer Of the order.
Thlrty-four years will have passed
away when the next meeting is held
since the first national encampment
was held in Indianapolis. Half a dozen

A Chitu,s vocabularv,

1.-THE language which the child of six
employs is apt to be the basis of his
speech throughout life," is the theory
advanced by an observant physician
writing in the Woman's Home Com
panion. 1--WE cannot separate from
words the ideas for which they stand;
thus what might at first appear to be
merely an educational matter is also
a serious moral problem. The writer
retains tolerably clear recollection Of
his own boyhood. and he has enjoyed
the intimate acquaintance of many
young children. From this experience
he would express the opinion that a
very small minority of children at the
age of eight can be considered limo
cent and that a very considerable
minority Of boys Of five can swear fiu-
emily, and use shockingly copious
stock of Objectionable words. By max
ing a hermit of a child we can post
pone for few years the inevitable
contact with the coarser manifesto
lions of human nature. but he will then
very likely be ashamed, by his very
lack of proficiency in evil. into greater
assiduity in acquiring the fruit of the
tree of knowledge. We have built up
special code Of ethics for children
with vocabulary to match"

Wesa told that new emperor has
succeeded to the imperial dynasty of
China. but It is very clear that the
Empress Dowager, the grand old
woman Of the fowery realm, is still
the power behind the throne. Some
ribald critics have sneered at the So
called petticoat government Of Great
Britain, but II they want to observe
the real thing they should study Chi
nese political affairs. Victoria signs
state documents when her ministers
tell her to do SO. but the Dowager EN-
press Of China spanks the nominal EN-
peror and banlshes him when he runs
counter to her wishes. AS she still has
large stock of new emperors in re-
serve, varying in age from one to ten
years. there is no present prospect of
the imperial dynasty failing.

IOWA LEGISLATURE.

The bill for the inspection Of all cattle
brought into Iowa, which has been under
discussion in the Senate for week, was
defeated Thursday by vote Of ~ to ~.
The normal school bill was amended from
three schools to one. The Pioneer Law
makers Association visited both houses
and the afternoon was spent in speech
making. Secretary of Agriculture James
Wilson addressed the Legislature on ag-
ricultural education and said that Ames
College is the only one in the country
that furnishes the kind of men the De-
partment OF Agriculture wants.
The House on Friday defeated the con-
ference bill to create an additional State
normal school. The bill was killed be-
cause 1t failed to receive the constitution
al majority of 81. The Senate passed
the Mullan bill making specific the law
requiring the election of presidential cleo
tors by the State at large. The House
passed the bill levying one-tenth OF
mill tax for the State Agricultural Col
lege for five years. The Senate commit
tee on suppression of intemperance voted
10 to to recommend the passage of the
Wallace bill to prohibit the sale of all
liquors within FIVE miles of the State edu-
cational institutions. Hayward's bill to
give savings banks authority to receive
deposits to ten times their capital stock
plus their surplus. was passed. The
House passed the Kendall bill providing
for the examination Of pit bosses and
hosting engineers in coal mines by
State board Of mine foremen.
I Both legislative sessions Monday were
slow affairs. Many members We're alb
sent from the Senate session in the morn
ing, and the afternoon session OF the
House was sparsely attended Most OF
the Senate session was devoted to dis
cussion of Young's bill relating to the
disposition of dead bodies. The measure
provides that it shall be mandatory with
county authorities and managers of pub
lie asylums, poor houses and peniten-
tiaries to turn over to medical schools
bodies Of deceased persons who have not
expressed a wish to be buried or whose
bodies are not claimed by relatives. There
was general opposition to the. bill for It's
failure to provide that bodies may be
claimed by friends before being turned
over for dissection. The bill was amends
ed to conform to the ideas of the OPPOSE
ton and referred to the committee on
public health. The Senate indefinitely
postponed the bill by Alberson providing
that taxes refunded to poor persons shall
draw 6 per cent and be lien against
the property of the INDECENT person. A
similar bill has been killed in the House.
At the House session eight new bills were
introduced. One by Temple proposes to
reduce the number of Supreme judges
from six to FIVE, to create an appellate
court of three judges to have jurisdiction
over cases involving sums up to $3,0O.
This is to relieve the Supreme Court.
One by Byers prohibits directors of cor
porations from electing officers from
among themselves without the consent
Of three-fourths of the stockholders.
