DEMOCRATS IN A NEW ROLE.

In the hope of embarrassing the re-
publicans southern democratic rep-
7esantative named Patterson has intro-
duced bill in congress providing for
the abolition of slavery In the Philip
rine islands. It is hoped by the demo-
Gratis that this measure may change the
relative positions Of the two parties on
the slavery question as seen by the
country at large and that the democ-
raey may be put in the light of an abo-
lition party while the republicans are
held up as defending an institution abb
horrent to honest men. The move is
On the order of Richardson's Christmas
fiasco and is one of the efforts being
made by the democratic committee III
its proposed fight for congressional
control. It is hypocrisy of the
most consummate and deceitful
sort, and on par with the
general policy of the incompetent and
tricky leaders at present in charge of
the destinies of the democratic party.
There is no slavery existing in United
States territory, but if there were II is
scarcely conceivable that move to-
ward its abolition would come from The
ranks of party that favored its raten-
ton and expansion within the limits
proper of the home government. The
hypocrisy of the move is accentuated
by history. There is a long trail of
democratic championship of the real
thing across the annals of the United
States from the constitutional conven-
ton to Sumter. and the huddled head
stones in soldier cemeteries still stand,
bearing mute witness to the strength
and results of that championship. The
bald hypocrisy of the Patterson bill is
evident and disgusting.
II slavery or any state of servft,lde
approaching slavery, is existent within
the jurisdiction of the United States the
people will scarcely look to the south
ern democrat for its amelioration OF
abolition. They willnaturallyt turn, with
a confidence born of knowledge, to that
organization to which the abolition OF
human servitude gave Its first excuse
for existence and whose first elected
chief executive signed the emancipa-
ton proclamation. Like the Richard
son boomerang this latest move to
catch votes will return against those
who father it.

There is nothing about Iowa City OF
about the university that ought to de-
ter the most careful parent from send
ing his son or daughter there provided
he decides that these matters aside he

In connection with woman suffrage
the State Register has this to say:
Iowa people generally believe that the
man who does not usually vote as his
mother, wife, sisters and daughters
wish him to vote is not the man he
should be. We do not have particle
of doubt that the great majority of the
women of Iowa are fully in accord with
the majority political sentiment, in
Guiding the opinion and determination
that the women of Iowa should not be

dirty pools of politics, but shall con-
tinue to rule the homes and voters of

Northwood, April 10. = There's q

tween this town and kensett, the next
town south of here. In the main it is
good natured, the weekly papers In

day to the hopeful talk of the citizens 1t
did seem as tho things were coming

only mile one way and a mile and a

county. We've offered to present
Worth county for one dollar a modern
court house costing not less than $780,
900. The money has been raised.

on the court house deal, they are not on

Haugen first, last and all of the time.
Men here claim that Mr.. Haugen has
looked out for his constituents in first
class shape. One man tells the story of
woman down near Rockwell, whose
boy was in the army during the late
Spanish war. The mother didn't hear
from him, and then she heard that he
was dead. So she wrote Mr.. Haugen
about 1t. In few days the mother re-
ceived a telegram-not letter-from Mr..
Haugen saying he had looked the mat
ter up, and could surely report that he
was alive and well. The thoughtfulness

EDITOR MANCHESTER DEMOCRAT:
DEAR SIR
In your issue of last Tuesday, you
made mention of double wedding
having taken place at the Baptist
church uniting in marriage, Milford L
Allen aud Kate Trier, and Theodore
Dolly and Edith Trier. Now l beg
leave to inform you that although Mr.
Dolley is very nice young man, it was
not he who was married to Edith Trier
Instead it was Milford Allen who be
came her cictim (?) for life. Perhaps il
would please all parties concerned, il
that notice could be corrected in mex
weeks issue.
Some one must have been dreadful,
misinformed IN regard to the place also
as the ceremony was performed at tn
} Baptist parsonage in place of tn
church. 1t was at 1880 a. NJ, and the
all four departed on the 1853 a. m. trail
I going west. Mr.. and Mrs. Dolley re
manned at Burt until Monday, Marc
q. They will, as you have stated be q
home on a farm near Delhi, and M
: and Mrs. Allen on farm near Bur
I Iowa. So much of your statement
: correct. Allow me to congratulate 20
t for 80 much.
Believe me as one who knows tn
particulars of the double wedding.
