—“The testimony so far fully sus
tains the report made by the legislative
committee. It is becoming more and
more apparent that when Gov. Sher
man suspended Brown from office the
right thing was done. The subsequent
proceedings have been in toleration of
au unworthy man, whose narrowness
of mind and want of conscience seem
only to have been equaled by his mul
ish obstinacy and effrontery.” So says
the Osceola Sentinel, which has been
neutral in the discussion, and it speaks
only the truth.
Iowa:
—The Democratic press in lowa, with
one strange, notable exception, are all
clamoring for the English doctrine of
free trade. They are reading the Dem
ocratic protectionists in Congress out
of the party, and make a great many
very rash threats. The English sub
sidy is still showing its leaven. Put it
down as a fact easily demonstrated
that every one of these howlers favors
the degradation of American labor to
the level found in the old countries,
whose competition we cannot meet
because of the radical difference in
wages paid. But these daisies never
consider the value of a dollar when
some other man has it to pay.
—Senator Clark is being made the
mark for much adverse comment, be
cause of his taking the $216 back pay,
and then lecturing before the State
Sunday-school Convention on “The
Moral Element in Life.” The lecture,
which we published iu lull last week,
was a grand one; the taking of the
back pay was a mistake, and in his case
cannot l*e defended. In his position as
president of the State Association it
subjects that body to criticism for
selecting him, but that will not forbid
him making one of the most excellent
officials it has ever had. One mistake
should not condemn a man everlasting
ly, and will not in Senator Clark’s case.
—The Democratic Marshall States
man says: “A side-show to the great
Republican circus calling itself ‘The
Sons of Veterans,’ closed its third an
nual encampment at Des Moines on tlie
9th inst. The State would be greatly
benefitted if this third encampment
would be its last. The country has no
use for political side-shows masquer
atling in the guise of patriotism.’. So
it has come to pass that the sons of
veteran soldiers cannot associate them
selves together for patriotic purposes
without being pounded by these Demo
cratic haters of loyalty. Whatever
the Sons of Veterans did, it was in the
interest of patriotism and valor, and
therefore could not well help, incident
ally, but just as positively, show its
influence toward the only camp which
does not apologize for having done that
which preserved the country—the Re
publican party. The more hissing from
such venomous old copperheads the
better.
—Another weary Democratic editor
has found out just how much reliance
can be placed upon the written word
and spoken promise of Jim Weaver.
Dr. Porter, of tlie dead Standard, has
some remembrances in this direction,
and he can now claim Brother Sherman,
of the Newton Democrat, as a fellow
victim to the wiles of Weaver. We
have no stake in the row, save only as
it concerns the adding to the had repu
tation of our American politicians, as
represented by such men as Weaver.
Undoubtedly he promised Sherman the
Newton postoflice in black and white
and by word—and then went to the
department and endorsed the papers of
Mr. Flowers, who has received the
apjiointment. Mr. Weaver used Sher
man for all necessary purposes, but for
the purpose of his campaign he esti
mated the services of Flowers of more
account than those of Sherman, who,
knowing Weaver to liave lied to him
and betrayed hitn, will be sounding his
praises right along as the salvator of
the people. It would be just like Sher
man to do that—so it would. Patience
is one of the redeeming virtues of the
Democratic editors, but there may be
an end to it. We await the issue, and
do it with more rest and ease than
these boys did the coming of postoflice
commissions which never came!
—The State Auditorship will bring
into the field a numlier of candidates
in the Republican state convention.
Rut we venture to say that none more
competent or worthy will be found
than the gentleman whose name is at
tached to the following letter:
Des Moines, June 14, 1886.— Editor Hawkeye:
You tell nie that lu view of the fact that ray
name is frequently mentioned In connection
with the office of Auditor of State. I ought to let
it be known whether I am a candidate or not.
Iu reply I liave to say that until recently I had
not thought of such a thing. But being in tem
porary charge of the office, I find its duties im
portant and not unpleasant, and the place pre
sents. I think, a very useful field for service to
the State. lam a loyal Republican. If the
Republican State Convention should nominate
me for Auditor, I do not see why I should not
accept the nomination. Yours truly.
In the candidacy of Dr. Beardsley
every element of worth will lie found,
and with him nominated no possible
mistake can lie made. Most cheerfully
the Herald tenders its support to the
nomination of Dr. Beardsley, and whom
all Mahaska Republicans will tie de
lighted to support.

OUR MAHASKA REPORTS.
Gleanings by Herald Reporters.
Fremont.
Iu the Oskaloosa Time * ot June 12th is a crit
icism on my article published iu Ihk Hkiuui
iu reference to our decoration services, signed
'’Occasional,” iu which tUe writer evidently
shows which side of the Mason & Dixon line lie
belongs, because 11 bis record stood first-class
as to loyalty aud hearty support of the Union lie
certainly would uot have ieit hurt at what that
article contained; but as to that matter, we let
it drop, kuowiug that a Just and patriotic peo-
Ijeople judge lor themselves, and such do not
eel ofleuded at any allusions to their loyally.
As to his criticism about wbat I said when
Cleveland was elected, let us say anutiier word
about tUat. What else, Mr. Occasional, could
you or any other man expect from a party wltii
the record the Democratic party; alter having
had control of the government lor nearly one
half century plunge into a bloody war; one
third of the slates secede lroui the Uuion; your
parly almost uuauiinousiy claiming that the
government had uo power to forve them back;
two-thirds ol your parly up iu arms of rebellion,
lighting to maintain their position—the oilier
oue-lUird al borne crying, “Stop the war; you
cannot subdue them." After the war was over
declaring the war a failure iu almost every
ptallorm made by your parly for a number oi
years; declaring that everything done iu the
way of reconstruction was all wrong aud uncon
stitutional. Wbal else could be said when that
party again came luto power? I see uo redeem -
mg lealures iu the party to-day, aud to take
their acts aud wbat tiiey say iu Congress, when
occasion offers for the leading men to show
their hand. It begins u> look more aud more as
though my predictions would prove true. Let
me call Occasional's atleutiou to a bill intro
duced by Mr. Merrytuan, of New York, (a Dem
ocrat,) iu the Cougress ol the Uuiled Slates, on
May mill, scarcely oue year alter Mr. Cleveland
was inaugurated, which reads as follow*: "Be
it euacled. etc., lhat any claims presented by
any person or corporation agaiust the United
Slates for loss or damage resulting from tlie late
rebellion, which claim will require judicial de
cision, be aud are referred to tue Court of
Claims, which shall have lull power to hear aud
Ueteriniue them. This act shall take effect im
mediately.” Now comes the gist of the thing.
The bill having passed the war claim coiniiui
lee. Judge Futlertou, and eminent lawyer lroui
New York City, appeared aud requested to be
beard. Now mark bis language. He said, in
arguing ills claim ior six hundred milli<>us oi
confederate bonds, that “this government had
uo right or authority to say to a sovereign slate
that they could uot and should nut pay
oue of its obligations; secondly, that the con
lederate states did not participate iu the rauti
caliou ol the amendment to the constitution
that lorblds the paymeut of their obligations;
aud thirdly, iu arrogating to itself the authority,
11 assumes tlie responsibility of the debt aud
must pay it.” Judge Fullerton made a stupend
ous effort,—even went back to ancient history
(1 presume into tlie dark or middle ages) to
show the principle for which he contended. He
also declared that the young men before would
live lu see every dullar ut tlie coufederate debt
paid by the federal government. He declared
it an honest debt; that the bonds were nought in
good laith by the mnocent purchasers, etc ;
that no goverumeut could stand ou the basis
the government bad takeu. You can find ibis
little history in the Conure*«ional (.{lobe ol that
date if you wish to find it. But 1 presume Oc
casional will say: "Oh, that is oue of the by
gones; tiiat is a part ot our past history; dou’t
look at that; ouly look to what is beiore us,
what we promise, what we inteud to do,” as
they always do ll we attempt to resurrect any
of their past history. If this does uot seem like
verifyiugthe prophesy, if sucli it may he called,
then what does it look like? In my opiuiou, the
ouly thing that saves this nation to-day lrom
being transformed into a southern confederacy
in principle is the Senate being Republican, and
the fear of the sable-skinued citizens ol the
southern clime, who have uot yet forgotten the
many drops of sweat and blood, together with
innumerable days of bitterest toll, for which
God, In justice to ills majesty, must In some
wav adjust.
