THE HERALD PUBLISHER BY THE Hemld Printing Company. THURSDAY, —The Governor of Ohio has no pow er to veto. It is remembered as one of the sayings of Tom Corwin: “The main duties of the Governor of Ohio are to sign commissions of Notaries Pub lic, and pardon Democrats out of the penitentiary.” The veto power was never given to Governors of Ohio. —lt is now definitely stated that Mr. Hamilton, of the Bloomfield Rejmbli can, will take a position as editor of the Des Moines Journal in June. We shall be very sorry to lose Mr. Hamilton from the Sixth District. lie has made his (taper take rank in the State as one of the best country weeklies, and his place in Davis county will be hard to fill, for he lias kept things moving in his bailiwick in an enterprising, win ning manner. —The House has passed another Chi nese bill, modeled to suit the veto, and it is now before the Senate with chances of its passage. We hope it will. As we have before said, not withstanding the Declaration of Inde pendence, we are against the future in flux of Chinese laborers, for reasons as numerous as the sands uikui the sea shore. We are for protection, not only of American manufactures, and skill ed labor, but of the labor of the com moner sort. —The Ottumwa Courier, which is against the amendment, deprecates the resolutions passed at the State Brew ers’ Convention, and of the last reso lution says: “Thai is au exceedingly unwise move and in dicates strongly that the brewers would force a political issue in this campaign. The Pond bill was a license measure, and this resolution strikes at all restraint on the sale of liquor in attacking the Pond bill. If the brewers cannot do better thau that they better forego their meetings. Such a resolution as we have quoted sounds more like the progeny of a Democratic convention.” —Gov. Kirkwood has returned to his home in lowa City, and he is welcomed to lowa as no other public man of its own would be. Of course President Arthur had a perfect right to ask that the Governor step out of the Cabinet, but lowa people all the same will have the opinion that he was just the kind of timber needed, and that time will so prove it. Gov. Kirkwood stands very near the hearts of lowa people. They are exceedingly jealous of him and his treatment, and will do all that is de sired to add honor to a career that has always been one of distinguished honor to the State and to individual character. —Last Thursday the President rob bed the so-called stalwart camp of the following named Grant men by nomi nation to diplomatic places: Judge Alphonso Taft, of Cincinnati, for Min ister to Austria; Wm. D. Dayton, of New Jersey, to the Netherlands; Nich olas Fish, New York (son of Hamilton Fish), to Belgium; Col. John M. Fran cis, of Troy, N. Y., to Portugal; Prof. J. P. Wickersham, of Pennsylvania, to Denmark; Gen. Adam Badeau (Grant’s biographer), Consul General at Havana, and Henry L. Sleight, of Brooklyn, N. Y„ United States Consul to Prescott, Canada. Each man could claim a bronze medal—no other men seem to be wanted these davs. —The Mormon question has received very practical attention at the hands of the present Congress. First, the bill to disfranchise all polygamous Mor mons is a law, and will effectually break the political power of the church, then the House refused to seat Mr. Cannon, the four-wived delegate from Utah, but only after an exciting debate in which Mr. Cassidy, of Nevada, told his fellow Democrats some unpalatable truths, when he said—speaking of the right of Campbell to the seat, who held the Governor’s certificate of election: “Now you propose to go back on your record. You have always held that the certificate of a Governor under the broad seal of the State or Territory must be accepted as prima facie evi dence of title by Congress. In 1876-77 every nian of you voted to sustain the vote of Cronin, of Oregon, in the Electoral College, because he held the certificate of Governor Grover, and every Democratic member of the Electoral Commission voted in the same way.” The record shows that the Democra cy, by a large majority, have stood in with Cannon and the Mormons on this issue—with a blindness of purpose and insanity of intention that fairly beats all late movements of the Democracy. Tom Corwin once said that “you can always make an allowance for that par ty to make a blank fool of itself in any session or campaign, by doing or failing to do the wrong or the right thing.” It is even so now. —A season of storm and cyclone has prevailed since our last. The heavy rain on Tuesday last in this section developed into a cyclone in Missouri, and the town of Brownsville suffered severely—about sixty buildings being destroyed, nine persons killed and over one hundred injured. At Montrose, saute State, great damage was done by the same storm. We next hear of it in l>avis county, lowa, where it played sad havoc with fences, barns, orchards and all movable things, but occasioning no loss of life. It was next heard from in Pennsylvania, on that night, partial ly wrecking two villages. On Sunday the town of Brookhaven, La., was destroyed by a storm and ten persons killed. Brownsville suffered a loss of $250,(JU0 and aid is asked from the charitable public. On Sunday evening a fire, which occurred in a stable at tached to a saloon, destroyed property valued at giao/JUU. An inmate of one of the saloons was bunted to death. Sixty buildings were burned of which thirty-two were business houses, in cluding the princii*al ones in town. At Lake City, Minn., on the same day, a fire destroyed 3350/JUO worth of proper ty. Five solid squares of business buildings burned, leaving only three rows of buildings standing in the busi ness portion. Altogether it lias been a week of dire disaster. BARLE Y-CORN'H BATTLE. —The Ottumwa Courier records the death of John Sherwood, an old resi- dent of that place, by falling in the lies Moines river, Monday evening, while drunk. —The truth is here plainly expressed by the Des Moines llegixter. “It is the ten thousand school-houses against the three thousand saloons in lowa. And the school-houses are going to win." —The Muscatine Journal , looking at the point of a presupposed loss in value of barley, says: “What we may lose in the manufacture of beer and on the price of barley will be small compared with our gain in laving people sober and in preventing them from becoming paupers and criminals and in conse quence becoming a public burden.’ —The Cedur ftapids Republican looks at one point in the discussion with these glasses: “It is being urged by some that prohibition will lower the price of grain in lowa. Last year the breweries and distilleries of this State used two-tenths of one per cent, of oar whole grain crop, or 787,554 bushel/ During the same time our drinkers spent over for liquor; or in other words, lowa people paid for every bushel of lowa grain used in —Mr. Itann, of the Manchester Press, summarizes the situation in these fit terms: “The prohibitory amendment may not do all that temperance men expect and hope, but it will do away with the saloons, and for that reason every father of a son, every man W’ho desires to see young men grow up into an honest and honorable manhood, will vote for it. The liquor and gambling saloon is to-day the great peril to our institutions. We must either destroy the saloon or it will destroy us." —The New’ York Tribune, looking at the contest from its position in the East, remarks: “The adoption of the prohibitory amendment in lowa has been placed beyond doubt, in all proba bility, by the avowed intention of the liquor interest to make it a political question. The action of the brewers at their State convention in passing a resolution predicting the defeat of the Republican party if it interfered with the liquor traffic has been resented by those journals that desired to keep the question out of politics and to have it decided upon its own merits. The con sequence will probably be a full Re publican vote and all that that implies in lowa. APRIL 27. —The liquor interest need hold only one more convention in lowa to make the adoption of the amendment prac tically unanimous, and the fact is well stated by the Des Moines Register in the following: “If the saloon pow’er in lowa keeps threatening this State, and in Ohio keeps holding public meet ings to advise the disregard and viola tion of the new law’ there taxing sa loons like other property and shutting them up on Sundays, and raising money to jiay the expenses and costs of the people so violating it, the people of lowa w ill not merely vote the amend ment through but will vote it up to a hundred thousand majority, just to show that private conscience and pub lic law still have rights in this country that even the saloon power is bound to resj>ect.” —As to what may be expected in low a, on the adoption of the tem iter ance amendment, we quote these two instances: John C. Slater, warden of the Southern Illinois prison, says: "We have a county in our State (Ed wards) where the sale of intoxicating liquors has been prohibited for seven teen years, and during that time only one man has been sent to the peniten tiary, and he for forgery.” No liquor licenses have been granted in Potter county, Pennsylvania, since 1860, and here are the grand effects: “At a re cent term of the court, the District At torney informed the court that he had no indictments to present to the grand jury; the sheriff also stated that he had no criminals in the prison; the direc tors of the poor reported that they had no one to keep at the county’s expense.” —The Monticello Express, whieh is not for the amendment, gives the follow ing expression, which we submit to the satirical, illogical Burrell, of the Wash ington Press: In the line of the dis cussion now going on upon the liquor question, Mr. William Starr, member of our Board of Supervisors, informs us that 31,164.60 have been drawn dur ing the first quarter of the present year for the payment of costs in suits caused by whisky, and in support of poor i>ersons outside of the county poor house who have brought on pov erty and dejiendence by liquor. At that rate those two items will cost the county over 35,000 before the end of the current year. Mr. Starr further informs us that of the 18 persons now* in the county poor house, all but one are there as the result, directly or in directly, of the liquor traffic. To this may l>e added the additional important fact that out of the nine prisoners now in the county jail every one of them can trace his crime and shame to the use of liquor. —The liquor men of Ohio appear to have entered upon a war of extermina tion against every man and every in terest that opj>oses free whisky. Their latest point of attack is the Cincinnati Southern Railroad, and their grievance is that its president, the Hon . Theodore Cook, favored the Sunday Closing bill which the Legislature passed at its re cent session. One prominent brewer is reported in The Cincinnati Erupiirer as saying that the whisky men, the brewers, the malsters, the cigar and tobacco men intend to withdraw their patronage from the Southern Railroad, and not ship a pound of freight over that route that can be sent to its desti nation in any other way. Mr. Cook, who is a prominent Democrat, when questioned on the subject said: “This coercion business will not win. If such a statement were published, I be lieve it would have a contrary effect to what the brewers wish. It would in tensify the feeling against Sunday des ecration, and those who think as I do upon the subject would indignantly repel any attempt to bulldoze them into concession.” A Makuk, “Brick” Telia of His Wanderings. To the EdWer of The Herald. After a few days passed in city and countrv, meeting scores of pleasant, agreeable and intelligent persons from whom we learn interesting incidents that occurred during the time of war, carnage and blood-shed in southwest Missouri, on the 13th we boarded the north-bound train at 3 A. M. for Kansas City where we spent a few hours taking in the town, its business, etc., all of which shows evidence of the vim found only where the Yankee and western man has made a {►ernianent home. At Atchison we make a short stav and see evidence of the prosperity and the gen eral enterprise found all along “Big Muddy.” This is Kansas and we had heretofore learned that prohibition in this State was in force, otherwise we should not have known it. AT WASIIINOTON, in Washington county, we again made a halt, having passed through some tieautiful country, though in some places sparsely settled, the land being owned, we learn, by the railroad com pany. Washington county is certainly one of the best in northern Kansas and bears abundant crops of wheat, oats and corn. A very large acreage of winter wheat was sown, and the pres ent prospects for an abundant crop were never better. Much may lie said against Kansas by persons who have with little means wended their way here in the prairie schooner inscribed thereon “Kansas or Bust.” Many have busted; yet others have “STUCK TO THE TEXT" and now their acres are almost without number, with cattle upon “a thousand hills.” That Kansas is not as liable to drouth as in years past is evident. Thousands of fresh trees have lieen Elan ted and groves of small trees may e seen near the residence of the actual and permanent settler, and presents very much the appearance that lowa did twenty-five or thirty years since. The grass upon the broad prairies are not burned as frequently as in other years; consequently, the heavy coating of grass assists to some extent in re taining the moisture. WASHINGTON is a nice little tow n of about 800 inhab itants near the center of the county, with two churches, a very respectable school building, and with a genera! ap pearance of thrift and prosperity. At the office of the Washington Republican we met a former lowa man, Mr. Besack, who proclaims through its columns sound Republican gosjjel for the Wash ingtonians. We met here many famil iar faces and former residents of Oska loosa and vicinity. J. M. Root, the marble cutter, we found surrounded by piles of marble, with chisel and mal let in hand, and making every strike count. Jim is one of the rising young men of Washington, greatly respected, and whose word is as good as his bond. Owen Edgar, whose earthly career be gan some years since in your city, we found full of business in the midst of a well-regulated shop, where the clatter of his hammer assures the passer-by tw here industry reigns supreme. He is one of the boys from Oskaloosa with whom it is s pleasure to meet, and THE WEEKLY HERALD: OSKALOOSA, MAHASKA COUNTY, IOWA, THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 1882.

A wood-chopper living near Cedar Falls returned to his home one evening recently to find that his wife had left in company with a fellow chopper, and had taken their babe, which was only a few r months old. The deserted hus band at once proceeded to Cedar Falls and found his wife at the depot. He tried to persuade her to return home, and upon her refusal, asked that he might kiss the child. This she acceded to, but when she raised the babe up to him he seized it and skipped for home. She followed him some distance, but finally gave up the chase, and return ing to tne depot, took the first train in company with her lothario. OSKALOOSA MARKET.

White Giant Stuttgart Summer Radish. rpHIS NEW VARIETY OF RADISH is heart t shaped, white and remarkably fine flavored, mild, and brittle. It Is the only variety that the heat or dry weather does not cause to go to seed, before forming a large and perfect rad ish. Its delicacy of flavor is retained during all stages of growth, which continues for a period of ten weeks from the time the first are fit for the table. In this radish all the desirable qualities are most happily united to form the most valuable variety ever introduced, and it has developed the remarkable peculiarity that the last pulled have been fully equal to the first. I warrant It In all respects to equal the above description and guarantee the sale ar rival of the seed. Price of the seed by mail, postage paid, 10 cents per package, or 3 for 25 cents. This radish is offered by the veteran see l grower of lowa, and who is al9o agent for a preparation which is sure destruction to all cabbage worms and other insects; not poison ous.
