Those who want a war should make a note of it —There is hardly a Democratic rail road attorney in lowa but who is Tun ing for the Legislature, supported by the corporations. —Forty thousand dollars of whiskey money to put into as many counties, means SI,OOO for Mahaska. The money will t* here and used to carry the Leg islature, in the interest of the 64-cent platform. —lt is estimated that the laboring men of America expend annually for liquor something over $500,000,000. The drink habit is their worst oppress or and most deadly enemy. iso says Mr. Powderly, Grand Master of the Knights of Labor of America. —The returns from all the counties of Ohio have been received. They show that 731,732 votes were cast, of which Foraker (Rep.) had 359,538; (Deni.) 341,- 380; Leonard (Pro.), 28,064; Northrup (Greenbacker),2,76o. Foraker’s plurali ty, 18,158. The total vote in 1883 for Governor was 721,310, of which Foraker had 347,164, Hoadly 359,693, and Schu macher (Pro.) 8,M2, lioadly’s plurality, 12,539. —lt is understood that H. Martin Williams or Ben Colvin, the straight greenback speakers, will be ‘iere on Saturday evening and stand up before Weaver—“ The demagogue, and damn his treacheries without blinking, skin the political trickster, with his worn out creeds, his large profession and little deeds.” They have pre-empted the court room, and will be there. —The Democratic speakers declare that there is no suppression of the colored vote in the South. Yet the vote of 1884 shows these things to be true: In Newberry county. South Car olina, the population, according to the last census, is divided as follows: Whites, 8,236; colored. 18,261, At the election last fall, Cleveland received 2,121 votes, or the vote of about every w bite voter, while Blaine received but 326 votes, leaving over 4,000 votes sup pressed in one county. In Abbeville county, South Carolina, the population is divided as follows: Whites, 13,172; colored, 28,637. In this county Cleve land received 3,638 votes and Blaine 76 votes. In Y azoo county (the scene of the Yazoo massacre a few years ago) there are 8,498 whites and 25,342 col ored. In Ibis county Cleveland re ceived 1,330 votes, while Blaine received but 6. In Burke county, Georgia, with a colored population of 21,031, there was not one Republican vote cast. The method has been changed from the shot-gun to something more quiet but none the less effective. It is thus that the colored vote finds Democratic pro tection. —Dr. Liudly is now engaged in giv ing out taffy to tbe boys which will not cheer well. He says that he is in favor of a local option law on the liqu or question, and tax up all costs aris ing from the traffic in a criminal way, to the muncipal corporations which license the traffic. Like a good many other things that the Doctor has sug gested in his career here, this lacks the elements of practical application. For instance, suppose a “boozer” gets his booze from Ottumwa, commits crime while drunk, is arrested and tried. How would you collect those costs from OttumwaT A hundred ways suggest themselves that would worry the Doctor to bring about an adjustment of bis visionary plan. It would becomes matter touching costs only, and not the punishment of crime. Then how about tbe poor who are created by the traffic V Who would the Doctor tax up for their support—would he lay the whole bur den on the city ?—though many do not live here. In good truth, is not the Doctor engaged in giving out words that are not intended to have any effect in the Legislature? Don't he know that if the Democrats carry the House, that there will be caucus called on the whiskey bill; that the brewers, having furnished the money for the campaign, will dictate that bill, and that all the Democrats and followers are pledged to stand by such caucus? Blattner would not put in bis money unless he knew what he was to have back. I The Brewers and Liquor Dealers As sociation have appropriated forty thousand dollars to be used in buying up votes on the Legislative tickets in lows, so as to bring about the adoption of the free whiskey plank in the Demo cratic platform. An agent was here in Oskaloosa on Friday last, and made arrangements for the use of “boodle” between now and election day, and on that day. A concerted effort is being made all over the titate, through this agency, to buy enough of the purchas able vote to make sure their ends. lowa voters cannot be purchased like so many bogs in the shambles, and this boodle gang will so discover. lowa Republicans should take warning from thi* open effort of the enemy, and promptly circumvent the corrupt scheme, by casting every vote in the oounty. Money has Us power, but it cannot buy the lowa people for this or any other purpose. —Let us change Inefficiency in the au ditor's office lor Um» splendid efficiency fouud lo the private soldier, John K.

Time was when they had that many horses hitched to his buggy, hauling him wound like another Cnsar. It’s the old. old story! —During the sessions of the forty ninth congress, the first ol which will betfln De cember 7, the Republicans will have 43 seuators and the Democrats Si, giving the former t. work log majority of 8, which the Democrats are en deavoring to overeome after March 4, 18K7. —The Georgia legislature has passed concurrent resolutions Instructing Congressmen from the State to vote for the repeal of the In ternal revenue law. These Instructions, like the Democratic license law proposed In lowa, are, of course, “In the Interests of temps- unce.’ —Burlington Hawkeyt: “The eloc- Uon this fall will bear some fruit, for which the Democrats will have the right to offer up shanks. The Republican victory will soon mean the de feat of General,Weaver, and that Is a ‘consum mation devoutly wished by most of the bour bons.” —“l’m saying nothin’ agin the Repub licans—not a word! But that bald-headed suck er Haskell, and that Swalm! them’s ’em! That’s what! and that’s what the mad candl date said. All because he did uot get that fieoo from the city which he had no more fight to titan Pat Malloy. —Pyne, that odorous P. M., of -Cleve land’s, at Vinton, has resigned. The l*rool of hts criminal conduct was so clear the adminis tration had to unload him. A soldier by the name of Abraham Rose has been given his place. Rose Is one of those soldiers who takes to hts tea aud Democracy. —The Avoca Detlta remarks: “What a sight for God and men was t hat of a number of Avoca saloon keepers hurrahing lui.tily for Gillette the prohibitionist, a man who is yet chairman of a county alliance. Yet this is only one of the many features of fusiou. But then Weaver A Co. must have office.” —At Independence Mr. Whiting frank ly said he had been nominated for Governor solely because he was a farmer. Chairman Kinue, In his Toledo Democrat, 15th inst., says: “The vocation ol mau. if an honest one, should not count either for or agatnst him when a can didate for office.” —Coroner Barringer has served his office well. To all cases requiring his attention lie has (liven the most search inti investigation, and let the light in everywhere. Professionally lie stauds among the very best—a clear-headed, successful physician, who honors the office by serving. He was not old enough to be in the army: and that is all that kept him out. —Capt. Evans, the Republican nom inee for Supervisor, is a farmer of J 'fferson towuship, and has a splendid record as a sol dier and citizen. He was in the Nineteenth Assembly as one of the members of the House, aud made a solid reputatlou there as a man of sense aud judgment He will make a line Supervisor, and one who will give satisfaction to all people. You will vote for Capt. Evans, of course you will. —Says the Cedar Rapids Republican: “With a State full of Wom&u’s Christian Tern- Iterance Unions and Bands of Hope, and con taining many Good Teiuplar and other temper ance organizations, it requires all the assurance Fred Lehman can muster to confront audiences with the statemant that since the temperance people of lowa adopted prohibition as their principal method of reform, all personal tem perance work has ceased.” —The old 21st Missouri was one of the best regiments that marched under Grant at Shiloh. They opened that great battle, being directly under old Ben Prentiss, and none were oraver. Well, Major Tracy was there, and he is now the Republican candidate for Surveyor. It is seldom that such personal worth and offi cial standing go together, as Major Tracy is one of the best practical engineers in the State. It is an honor to vote for him. —Congressman Horrsavs he was told that the President requires Democratic Con gressmen to sign and swear to the following, in case of recommendation to office: “ I Member of Congress, from district, have just recommended for office, as far as I know, has never committed any heinous crime and to the best of my knowledge has never been in the penitentiary. So help me God.” Weaver will have to use some of these blanks. —Faithful to his trust as Deputy Treasurer, the people promoted “Dos" Gilchrist to be Treasurer, and he now stands for re election, having served a term to the satisfac tion of all concerned. No man on the ticket is more popular than he, and we have none more worthy. As he has done in the past, so will he do In the future—give faithful, attentive service to the whole people, as they may be connected with that most important office. His father was shot down at Helena, and the boy would have been there had he been old enough. —lt is altogether likely that C harley Blattner, the brewer, would support Dr. Lindly for the Legislature without liaviug a clear un derstanding with him that he will support the compulsory saloon plank, as found in the Dem cratic platform. Blattuer and bis Democratic friends know what they are about when they put their mouey into the campaign for a 64- cent-a-day saloon everywhere in lowa Our friend the Doctor Is giving the people niffy and nothing else, ou this topic. He will have to stand squarely ou the Democratic platform, else his boomers here would drop him like a hot potato. —The New York Herald takes Mr. Cleveland to task because he announced his in tention of voting for Hill. The Hera.d says: ” We do not believe that Mr. Cleveland ought to set so bad an exainple-so curiously bad an exam ple—to the younger voters of New York and the country as be would if he should cast his vote tor Mr. Hill.*’ And further on In the sane arti ele: “The Herald advises every Democrat who desires the honor and continued succes s of his party, and the good of the State aud city of New York, to vote for Davenport or to remain at home on election day.” There is an admir able directness in the Herald' s stump sjieeches. —J. R. White, a life-long Democrat, has written the Harlan Republican, repudiating the Democratic platform because of Its com pulsory saloon plank, and among other things he says: “And.this Is tbe law that Is forced In Iowa! Fellow Democrats, you who spurn sa loon control of your party, and who believe with me that the great principles of Democracy must not be obscured by the slums of whisky; you who stood by the party for principle’s sake w hen it was considered a disgrace to be a Dem ocrat, are you ready to be pushed to the wall by a set of upstarts who do not know wLat De mocracy means, but rather think it means whisky?” —Senator Van Wyck called at the treasury department and left a note for Secre tary Manning requesting that he would make It a condition with the contractors for the con struction of public buildings in Nebraska that convict labor should not be employed. In case the secretary should thtnk tbe law prohibited such conditions the senator asked that the bid ders for the contract be required to state whether they proposed to employ convicts upon the public works. Manning has privately re plied that tbe government could not interfere in the matter as to who should do the lal>or—the lowest and best bidder got the contract, and that was “business.” —The Mt. Pleasant Herald, Green back, touches up Weaver In this shape: “Wea ver grows pathetic over the wrongs committed by tbe ‘cattle barons’, as he calls them, in tbe Indian Territory, and glorifies Cleveland for turning them out, so that their cattle shall eat uo more tbe Mexican grasses growing wild In that region. But Weaver has no tears to shed, nor words of censure for Cleveland’s driving out from Dakota the poor homesteaders who en tered the region opened up by President Arthur, staked off their claims, mfide their ‘dug-out’ houses, and have their little all Invested there! Cleveland orders these settlers out by October to, and if not then gone directs that the army put them outside of the opened regions, with winter fast approaching and the hemes;eaders to lose their all! But Weaver‘endorses every act of tbe Democratic administration.’ ” AN ADDRESS. The straight Greenback Commit tee Address their Flock. Cedar Rapids, la., Oct. 26, 1886. To the Old Greenback Guard: An election is near at hand in lowa, upon the result of which depends the life of our glorious cause. The time has come, and now is when all true Na tionals should make a united effort TO SAVE TIIE PARTY of the people, and thereby save a gov ernment of, by, and for the people. Every Greenbacker Is aware that so long as we as a party antagonized the old party organizations WE GAINED numerical strength and political in fluence. The enemies of good and honest government finding that our position wss unassailable and that we were not to be driven from our strong holds by attempted ridicule, planned our annihilation by advising and en couraging fusion with the minority. Many of our trusted and valiant LEADERS HAVE FALLEN before this deceptive and ruinous pol icy and the party disorganized. Why should your committe be compelled to say that we as a party fallen into dis repute and been branded the nation over as so much trading stock for a few political riugsters who seek only theirpursonal advancement? We wifi not do this. . THE TRUTHS of Green back ism are as powerful as ever The Supreme Court of the United States has taken position upon our Gibralter. We are right and our enemies wrong. Shall we surrender r No, never! will be the answer. Let us teach FALSE LEADERS ir ’ '.St .3*. iisiSi.-Xim THE HERALD party of lowa is not merely an annex io either of the old parties; neither can it surrender to that party that will promise the moat to Weaver. FELLOW GKKENBACKERS: we fought the Republican party when it pursued a financial course at enmity with our beloved cause. Let us not be duped by designing demagogues into supporting a party that is at variance with our every cherished idea. The Democratic party is, like the R publi can party, OUR RELENTLESS FOE. Its policy since the 4th of last March, has been to contract the currency of the people in every possible manner, and to paralyze the industries of the nation by every meaus that could be devised by the Shylocks of Wall Street. All this every Greenbacker knows to be true. In the language of that I [rand old commoner,' Jesse Harper, of Illinois, “ The Greenback road, like the way to heaven is straight ahead.” Let us with the bravery, fortitude and pa tience of the Spartan band that rallied around THE BANNER OF PETER COOPER, in 1876, rally again aud snatch our fall ing banner from the hands of those who are about to surrender it to our foe, and once more in defiance of boss ism in our ranks, vote the pure and UNSPOTTED GREENBACK TICKET, never forgeting that a vote for the right is never lost. We present you with a ticket of true Greenuackers, who will stand for prin ciple; noblemen who cannot be intimi dated by a tyraunical aud domineering self-appointed leadership. If you have no printed ticket, write one, for every Greenbacker can write. Green backers of lowa who love the right for the sake of it, vote for Elias Doty, of Linu county, for Governor; J. K. Clarke, of Henry county, for Lieutenant Governor; M. R. Farns worth, of Winneshiek county, for Su preme Judge; J. 1). Guthrie, of Mahas ka county, for Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction, and in the near future the recollection of having cast that vote will revive the fire of the veteran pa triot who, with honest pride, recalls his vote for that grand old hero, Peter Cooper, and that cast for the honest and true farmer Doty, of Linn county. A. B. Dennis, Chairman of the Straigt Greenback Committee of lowa. -Additional Local. - Do the People of On Tuesday evening a consultation of our citizens was held at The Her ald rooms, in relation to the matter of bringing the Chicago Northwestern Kail way into the incorporation. D. \V. Luring was called to the Chair, and Mr. Swalm appointed Secretary. The matter was fully discussed, and the conclusion was unanimously reached that “we will accept of the proposition as made,—for right of way and depot grounds,—and that the following com mittee be appointed to take charge of the canvass for the necessary sub scriptions, as follows; Capt. Searle, D. VV. Loring, A. M. Abraham, Judge Crookham, Dr. Hurst and E. 11. Gibbs. Dr. Beechler, W. W. Haskell, C. A. Knapp, C. H. Phelps, Frank Boyer and Judge Loughridge. Amos Spencer, W. A. Lindly, J. VV. McMullen, Henry Howard and John H. Green. John Sieliel, VV. McFadden, E. Bach, VV. A. Seevers, John R. Barnes and VV. E. Vernon. These four committees are to act in union and to make a thorough cauvass of the city for subscriptions. The proposition should be met at once by compliance by our people. The North western road is one that runs every where over lowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, and out into Dakota. It is a great corporation, first class, and one of the most enterprising in the West. To be connected with it, means another trunk line to Chicago, a more extensive field for our trade, and a certain ad dition of great strength to the making of this one of the most thrifty cities of lowa. It is a vital matter that we act promptly. Ottumwa is in the field , and that “means business!" Our Harvest Thanksgiving.— St. James church celebrated their Harvest Festival of Thanksgiving on last Sun day. The interior was beautifully dec orated with fruits, grains, vegetables, autumn leaves and flowers. On the altar was erected a cross of tlowers, flanked on either side with vases of grains and grasses. Over the gate in the chancel rail was erected an arch, decorated with corn, leaves, and at base of arch on either side a sheaf of oats. On the front arch of the chancel was a beautiful wreath of autumn leaves, in the center of which hung a very handsome hanging basket. J ust in front of the chancel on the north side was a handsome pyramid of all kinds of natural products of the fields; the fount was ornamented with a pyra mid of fruits. The windows were all wreathed with green branches and ap ples. It is impossible to convey an idea of the beauties of the trimmings in words. Those only can appreciate the effect who were present and saw the church in all its beauty. The dec orating was done by the ladies of the aid society of this parish. The sermon was lull of joy and thanksgiving and was from the beautiful ritual of the cliurch. It was preceded by the full choir singing a thanksgiving anthem, rendered in their usual excellent man ner. In fact, the music was all mag nificent. The solo, “I know ray Re deemer liveth,” was rendered finely by Hiss Anna Morse, of Chicago. The rector delivered a most excellent ser mon, his subject being, “Church Mem bership a Duty we owe to God.” It was beautifully illustrated with allus ions to the emblems which surrounded the speaker. It is useless to add that every seat was filled, not a vacant seat being perceptible. The evening service was also as well rendered, and there were at least fifty people turned away as they could not be seated.

I THE JtORTH WESTERN ! Want It? - obLALOOSA. MAHASKA COUNTY, IOWA, THURSDAY, Jui.ia Ward Howe.—ln the Satur day issue we spoke of the size and character of the audience that greeted Mrs. Julia Ward Howe at the Opera House, last Wednesday even lug, which in both respects was such as would be must complimentary and gratifying to any speaker. ‘The lecture, itself, which we had not space to more than refer to In that Issue, was a concise, analytical examination of the two kinds of womeu that exist to-day and make up Wie potent factors of the world’s society, and which Mrs. Howe characterizes as “ Meu’s Women and Women’s Women.” In the first class she placed such women as live upon the coquetries and vanities of life, subsisting upon man’s pleasure and craving man’s admlratlou with a sexual passion that rarely reaches the fullness of love and Its higher experiences. These are the women whose salons and drawing-rooms shut out the intelligence and influence of wom anhood, and create a shrine for the worship of men alone; such as Madame de St ael, George Sand and Lady Blessiugton, among the figures of history, and various others among the per sonal acquaintances of the speaker In Europe To the rare mental powers of these women, Mrs. Howe gave generous testimony, though denying to them that higher feeling of justice to tlielr own sex and appreciation of the womanly force in the world’s experiences that would have added Immeasurably to their stature as women and thinkers. It was easy to see to which class Mrs. Howe’s warmer sympathies were drawn as she passed on to her “ Women’s Women,” the women who, like Florence Nightingale, seek to raise woman’s standard of life to a higher level by the grand fulfillment of noble work, and who seek, like Margaret Fuller, to Inspire women with a loftier ideal of their own duties and character and relations to life and human ity. Parenthetically Mrs. Howe related some Interesting personal facts concerning Florence Nightingale, with whom aud whose family she was on terms of friendship, and of her early formed ambition for the work in which she proved such a blessing to humanity. In these examples Mrs. Jlowe indicated what she hoped for from the women of the future; not that all shall be Florence Nightingales or Margaret Fullers, but that all shall be inspired with the warmth of human need and the strength of life’s necessities, and filled with that nobler passion that shall make womankind better and truer and more useful. It was such a lecture. In Its power of keeu analysis and just judgment as bore the stamp of genius in all its thought, and yet that showed a genius that was not one-sided or extravagant or extreme. Julia Ward Howe is a great woman in the best sense; a woman first created a genius by natural endowment of inlnd, and afterward developed Into one of riper and more forceful growth by the develop ing and ripening aud enriching experiences of life, when one looks out upon life as she does, with the eyes ol sympathy and Interest and fel low feeling. Her life in the full harvest of its sixty-seven years of high thinking and right living may well be an inspiration to woman kind, and a light of guidance to truer develop ment. Her life testifies to the success of women in the higher pursuits of scientific study, and to the rounded character which this better life l>erfects. She is a student, but not that alone; a phllanthroplst.and much more; a wlfe,a mother, a grandmother, a poet, an essayist, a preacher, a metaphysician, a woman such as Wordsworth must have had in view when he wrote, “A perfect woman, nobly planned. To warn, to comfort, and to command.'’ By imitation of President Trueblood, Mrs. Howe visited Penn College, Thursday morning, and addressed the students in the chapel for a half hour, and at the close, by request, recited her battle hymn with rare power of luminous recital. lalter she visited the senior class reci tation in psychology, and gave to the class the history of the wonderful work wrought In the case of Laura Bridgman, the child whom her husband, Dr. Howe, found blind and deaf, and almost devoid of the senses of taste and smell, and who was led, by intelligent aud studious philanthropy, into the realm of seeiug and hear ing and tasting and smelling, and into the higher Oskaloosa divination of the linmau soul and its necessities. This was a most interesting hour with Mrs. Howe, and one that the class of ’BS of Penn College will long bear in mind.
