Senator William B. Allison formally one ed tne campaign in Northeastern Iowa,
with a speech belore' a great audience at
West Union. Me devoted nis speecn chiefly to National affairs, discussing the
sabject of interstate commerce, tne -treasury surplus, the public land policy, civilservice reform, and other leading issues. On the Question of the Treasury surplus,
he said, amon'4 other things: "It must be borne in mmd that tax laws can onlv origin
ate in the House of Bepresentatives, and that the Senate has no power under the Constitution until the House acta, so that the whole responsibility for this failure to reduce taxes rests upon the late Hone of
Representatives, or did so rest until the 4 In of March. 1887. From that time until now the President shares this responsibility, because it was his duty, the last Hen having ailed, Jp immediately assemble Congress in extra session for the purpose of reducing taxes, to raljeve the people from the excessive burdens of taxation. This the President did not do, and by his non-action, nine months of the present Commas has naased swav without oppor
tunity being given for the consideration of
this question. Mr. Allison, in conclusion, and in sum
ming up, said: Ton naturally, after this review, ask what has the Democratic party accomplished in power? It elected a President who, before election and after election, and before inauguration, and repeatmDv since, in meS9ases and Dublic utter
ances, professed the greatest solicitude for
a pure ana non-parasan civu service, jxb in Ins conduct he has whoQy failed to provide such service, and has prostituted the service wholly to party purposes and uses; first stealthily, bat recently without dis
guise, as witness its prosmuoan in Maryland. Pennsylvania, and New Task, con

country. We have seen the Democratic carry dem
castrate its ' sectionalism in its power, in
its policies, sad in its leaders, holding that control in one section united now by a sentiment as it' was formerly by a simple interest. This sectional control dominates
at home and abroad, in the departments, and in the country, and m the House of Bepresentatives, as I have shown. Gavaraor Larrabee. Governor Lambee opened bis campaign at Odebolt, giving a clear and forcible exposition of the principles of his party. Following is a synopsis of his remarks on some of tne prominent questions at issue: The Governor began by comparing the Government to a private corporation, in the affairs of which all stockholders have an interest. The essential thing is to select judicious and honest officials to man- ' age its affairs and then agree upon its policy that will best promote the interests of all. lien may differ in this, but they should honestly endeavor to determine the best policy to be pursued. Referring to national polities, the Governor said that the BepnMican party, in favoring protection to American industries, is endeavoring to carry out the policy of the fathers of the Republic. The desire to foster home industries led to the throwing off of the British yoke. And after the nation was established, the second bill passed by Congress .vras one for the raising of revenue, and the encouragement of home industries. The South, being devoted to cotton raised by slave labor, did not feel an interest in the building up of manufactures at the North, and clamored far free trade. Yielding to that clamor, Congress in 1816 reduced the duty on imports. The depression following was so marked that, after a sad experience coveri; ga period of eight yearn, the protectionists succeeded in restoring the tariff, Speaking of this experience, Henry Clay said he never saw worse times than during the seven yean preceding the restoration nor better times than followed the restoration of the protective duties. The Calhoun nullification movement in the South led to the re-enactment of the low tariff, and hard times followed till 1842, when protection was again adopted. The free-trade acts of 1848 produced a similar result of disaster, though the evil effects were somewhat mitigated by the discovery of gold in California and the loss of crops for three successive years in Europe and a period of foreign wars. But in 1857 the legitimate result of free-trade legislation was exhibited, and that expression lasted until the Republican party succeeded to power and at once established the policy of protection to American indnstrea. During the twentyfour years of Republican rule, despite the waste and expense of the war, this policy of protection has given the country an era of uneqwaled prosperity. The highest prices has been paid for labor and the products of the farm. The threat of tariff reduction implied in the recent success of free-trade Democracy has produced a paralyzing effect upon our industries. And this shows what would be the evil results if that threat is carried
into execution. We are again declining
toward tne normal condition ot things under Democratic rule. Wheat and cattle have been lower in Chicago since the inauguration of a Democratic President than at any time within thirty years. History but repeats itself. Democratic rule always tends to low prices of labor and produce. The Governor spoke with fence on the transportation question. He said there should be ample provisions to secure the
enforcement of the laws, both State and
National, against pooling, rebates, discrimination, special rates, etc. The in
terstate law should be perfected wherein it is found deficient and the State should
surplenient it.
Kelerring to the Honor law, he said it
gains ffi popularity wnerever it is eniorceo. The court records show even from the effects of partial enforcement a decrease
of crime and reduction of criminal ex-.
penditnres. Oar jaua and peniteutiari -s are betas gradually depopulated. The
Saloon in Iowa is daily losing ground and sympathy. My own opinion concerning "respectable saloons" has undergone con
siderable change. The Governor dwelt at
length upon the financial condition of the
State, showing that its affairs have been sannnuraUy atairustored. In closing he
highly complimented his colleagues on the ticket.
Ex-Governor Gear. The Hon. John H. (J ear opened the cam
paign at Hediapolis, delivering an eloquent speech, in which he reviewed the acts of the Democratic administration, contrasting its promises with its acts of fulfillment, taking
up the further promises or juemocraw huh putting against all this the work done by the Republicans both at home in Iowa and
by the General Government wnon unuer Republican control. He began with the quotation from a Democratic paper asking tne question as to what the country had lost by turning the
Republicans out of office, ana m answering this question pointed out some of the losses. The country had lost by the change the tmidnnce of that Datriotio influence
which, while succeeding the Democratic party in 1861, found a depleted treasury, fl J ........ .3 nnA t,A Ann.
Its army suu imvjr bumum, " tents of its national arsenals transferred to the control of the South, and led the conntry safely through four years of war and the reconstruction of the States in rebellion. By turning Republicans out the country had lost that wise financial policy which reduced the debt and made the nation's paper equal to gold and silver. It had lost that influence which had dignified labor and given it a better reward than any where else in the civilized world. It had made all men free and equal before the law. By turning the Republicans out of office the country had gained the rule of a party which, when a President was chosen distasteful to it, raised the standard of rebellion and strove to rend asunder the Republic; it had gained the knowledge that the giant wrong which had so long ruled and polluted tne nation still lives in spirit; it had gained an administration which had been able to devise no policy for the revision of the revenue laws exoept the horizontal reduction of the tariff, and failing in that declared in favor of a tariff for revenue only, which meant free trade; it had gained a President who had vetoed more acts of Congress than all the other Presidents since the formation of the Government; it had gained an administration which in all its conventions offered a "sop" to the Irish by adopting resolutions in sympathy with "home rule" in Ireland, yet turned a deaf ear to the 600,000 intelligent people in Dakota who are knocking at the door of Congress for admission, ret' using their request for the sole reason that the people of that flourishing Territory are in sympathy with Republican principles. The country had gained a President who had been so forgetful of the patriotic services of the men who shed their blood for the preservation of the Union as to offer to restore the captured flags to the men who fought under them to destroy the Government. It had gained an administration which declared itself in favor of civil-service reform and still indulged in the work of turning out faithful public servants in the name of offensive partisans. The country had gained an administration which daring its long lease of power prior to 1861 never enacted a law in the interest of the labor of this country. The Bepub icons bad passed the homestead law, and adopted the policy of protecting the industries of this country, by which they had been fostered until labor was much better rewarded here than anywhere else in the world. The speaker here took up the arguments of Democrats against protection and demolished each by simply quoting their own statistics. Then turning from National to State polities, he called attention to the question of the right of a State to control corporations created by and under State laws. Iowa was the first State to rake this step. In 1874 the granger law was adopted, which prescribed the maximum schedule of rates for the carrying of freight and passengers. This had been the first law in the interest of the people as against the corporations, and the interstate commerce law followed in the same line, and was passed by Republicans. He pointed out the provisions of
the new law, and indorsed it. It had not
given the relief expected, because it was dunging old and settled customs, and in the nature of things would require time. But much of the dissatisfaction had grown out of the unaccountable delay of thePresident in complying with the provisions of the law. The law provided for the immediate appointment of a commission who were to have sixty days to study and form, nlate a policy of enforcing the law, but the President neglected to appoint this commission until a few days before this law
went into operation. The gentlemen had no time to study the law, and they were under the necessity of suspending it in
eases, that they might investigate and not
do wrong to any people. But the people of the United States could hardly expect to realize perfection in
a single act of Congress, and that the first
one on tne question, we couia with reason hope that with a few amendments, such as time would dictate, that the ques
tion was near a satisfactory settlement. The Parliament of Great Britain had dur
ing the last fifty years enacted over 3,300
laws oi control over railroads in mat country and had not yet solved the transports1
tion problem. Great Britain had little more than double the mileage of railroads that be'onged to the State of Iowa alone. Ex-Gov. Gear then called attention
to the difference between the platforms of
tne Republican ana democratic parties in
lowa on tne transportation question.
The Georgian and His Melon.
The true Georgia epicurean never
approaches a watermelon until he has turned his back upon the effete civili
zation of the city. The slaughter of
the melon represents a sacrifice which is as much out of place at a dinner table as a dish of deviled crabs at a satyr's feast It is an idyl of the fields
that becomes a very dreary thing, in
deed, robbed of its surroundings. The preparations for the simple ceremony are few. One must go into the patch
at early dawn, when the dew on the
grass is heavy enough to wet his
trousers nearly to tne knees, and stealthily, even though committing no
trespass but if it be a trespass bo much the better remove a melon to the pellucid bottom of a spring. At
about 11 o'clock, wnen tne sun is nign
and the heat is trembling along the
surface of the field, he should quietly
carry his prize over to a snake fence, under the shade of a persimmon tree.
and, having drawn a jack-knife's blade

the melon, thump the latter upon the top rail until the inner structure is rup

soul beyond repair. No man living
ever tendered tne fat naif of a melon
to another, and reserved for himself
the hollow delusion, but felt his ex
istence embittered. No, absolute soli

applied to a friend who is powerful among railroad men to secure convenient transportation for him at a reasonable price. The horse was duly shipped in charge of a groom, ana after going a Bmall part of the distance was transferred at a certain junction to another line. At this point the freight
agent inquired the value of the horse,
inasmuch as the railroad company charges for transportation according to the worth of the animal. "Money wouldn't buy him," replied the faithful John. "This is the best horse that ever traveled over your road, and if anything happens to him it will cost you a
big pile, and thereupon he launched out in a eulogy of the animal that Mand S. or Bucephalus wonld hardly have deserved. The fact was that the beast wa a good, intelligent family horse, a pet of the children, and worth in the market about $225. The agent
telegraphed to headquarters that a
highly valuable horse was onerea lor shipment, and requested instructions.
"Send him on and charge $75," was the
reply. The horse reached its destina

I am not only perfectly willing to give you references, but I am only too glad to have an opportunity to do so, whioh my natural modesty would have prevented me from offering. Therefore permit me to give you the names of a few of my friends. I will write them down. First is Lieutenant General John McComb, Alexander Badlam, General Lander, and Colonel W. H. L. Barnes. They would all lie for me just as I would for them under like circumstances," This conclusion broke the old man fell up, and he never asked more references nor wrote to those gentlemen.

It is supposed that she perished in the sea whioh bad ingulfed her betrothed. At all events so the legend has it one night in the year, the anniversary of that never-to-be wedding, n beautiful girl, clad in white, and sitting on a white horse, is to be seen on the huge rock which rises just off the beach, and whioh is now known as the White-Horse Bock.

Bourne has made a number of experiments of three species of scorpions found at Madras, with the pbject of determining whether the popular notion that scorpions can commit suicide is true. He finds that it is undoubtedly physically impossible for scorpion to sting itself in a vulnerable place, and when one is placed in very (inpleasant circumstances it not unfreouently lashes its tail about which

powerless to kill tne same individual or another of the same or even of another Species. Two scorpions, when fighting, repeatedly sting one another with little if any effect, the stronger killing the weaker by tearing it to pieces. The poison may be pressed out of the sting with the fingers or a pair of forceps, when it is found to be a milky white fluid, with very pungent smell, resembling that of formic acid.

Fish Preserved in Beck-Salt. At the White Plains salt works, on
the lino of the Central Pacific Kailroad, beyond Wadsworth, in sinking
large pits or wells, many fish, per
fectly preserved, have been found m the strata of rook-salt out through. The salt-field occupies what was onco the bottom of a large lake. Tho fish found are of tho pike or pickerel species and from twelve to sixteen
inches in length. No such fish are now
seen in any of our Nevada lakes. The
specimens are not petrified, but are
preserved in perfect form, flesh and all, as though they had been frozen. up in cakes of ice. The salt works are located near tho center of a basin, in
which was once a lake thirty miles long by from twelva to fifteen miles in width, and over threo hundred feet

Jason Baldwin, now watchman at the Osbiston shaft in this city, was superintendent of the White Plains works he found great numbers of those fish. In a pit eight feet square and about sixteen feet deep dozens of them were found, there being sometimes five or six in a bunch. It was found that they could be eaten, but they were not very palatable, and it was necessary to soak them in fresh water for two or three days before attempting to cook them. Virginia (Nev.)
