The republicans having named

is now fairly launched and it will be
up to the voters Of Oskaloosa to de-
termine on Monday, March 81, in
whose hands municipal affairs shall
be placed for the next two years.
The ticket named by the republican

to go to the city and did not know
that the child was behind him. AS

ST. PATRIcK,s DAY.

Today is "St. Patrick's day" and il
is being celebrated the world over by
wearing green ties and green sham
rock leaves. The death Of this man
is celebrated each year, by the people
of Ireland, due to the fact that he
was supposed to have freed that
country from all the serpents and
other reptiles, which for a time
abounded there.
Almost as many countries arrogate
the honor of having been the natal
soil of st. Patrick, as made similar
claim with respect to Homer. Scot
land, England, France and Wales,
each furnishes its respective preten.
sions. He was born about the year
.372, and when only 16 years of age
was carried off into slavery by pi.
rates. He was sold into slavery in
ireland, where he worked as a swine
herder on the well known mountain
of Sleamish, in the county of Antrim
Here he passed eve years and be
Games acquainted with the language,
manner and customs Of the Irish
people. Escaping from captivity, af
ter many adventures ne reached the
continent, where he was successfully
ordained deacon, priest and bishop
Then, once more, with the authority
of Pope Ce1estine, he returned to Ire,
land to preach the gospel TO its then
heather inhabitants.
The greatest of st. Patrick's mir.
acles was that of driving the veno
nous reptiles out of Ireland, and
rendering the Irish soil forever after
so obnoxious to the serpent race that
they instantaneously die on touching
it. Colgan seriously relates that st
Patrick accomplished this feat by
beating a drum, which he struck with
such fervor that he knocked a hole
in it, thereby endangering the sue,
cess of the miracle. But an angel
appearing, mended the drum, and the
patched instrument was long exhibit
ed as a holy relic.
He founded an abbey in East
Meath, called Domnach-Padraig (the
house of Patrick), and built a church
in Dublin on the spot where st. Pat
rick's cathedral now stands. The St
Patrick wells, at which the holy mar
is said to have quenched his thirst
may be counted by the dozen. 1t is
commonly stated that he died at Saul
on March IL, 493, in the one hundred
and t~wenty-first year Of his age.
The shamrock, or small white clov
err, is almost universally worn in the
hat over all Ireland on st. Patrick's
day. The popular notion is thai
when st. Patrick was preaching the
doctrine of the trinity to the Irish
pagan, he used this plant, bearing the
three leaves upon the one stem, as
a symbol or illustration of the great
mystery.

THE BUSY MAN OF CONGRESS.

Hon. LATE Young, editor of the Des
Moines Capital, is contributing a
series of interesting Washington let
tiers to his paper. In a recent II he
among other things says:
"Major Lacey, of the Sixth district,
is a busy man for the reaso that he
Is chairman of The committee on pub
lie lands, but he has found time to
give attention to the railroad rate
matter and made a speech in the
house in favor Of the bill, which
passed on February 8. His address
was delivered on February s, and as
usual gave interesting facts. He sug.
gested that the proposed bill did not
give power to the interstate com.
merce commission, O to the railroads
with the consent of the commission
to change the rates after they had
once been adjudicated in court. He
contended that there should be some
method of making such changes, or
they might work hardships on the
shippers as well as the railroads.
Under the present law every rail-
road, when changing its rates, must
file a new schedule with the inter
state and foreign commerce commits
sion in Washington. 1t will be some
what surprising to those who have
not been discussing this question to
read one statement from Major La
cey's speech, wherein he related that
during last year there were 162,42S
changes in rates in passenger and
freight schedules filed with the ma
tional commission; that 1892 Of
them were changes in freight SEIZED.
ules, and that the average number of
new schedules made every day was
over five hundred. Major Lacey is
always digging up facts. He said any
bill that passed ought to provide for
a modification Of rates from time to
time, as necessity may arise. He
called attention to the fact that in
some years the corn shipments of
Iowa have been to Kansas, Missouri
and Nebraska, owing to the drought,
floods, grasshoppers or other peculiar
circumstances in those states. In
other years the shipments have been
exclusively to the east, and that Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Nebraska have
been great corn exporting states. Ma
jor Lacey said: Rates have been
changed from time to time to meet
these conditions, and the changes
have generally been to the advantage
of the shippers He contended,
therefore, there should be more elias.
ITCHY in the modification Of the rates
from time to time than Is contem-
plated by the Townsehd-Esch bill. He
also called attention to another feat

ought to be changed. The bill, as II
passed the house. places the enforce.
