"VVe see. from last night's Journal, that Mr. Sherman wishes to draw the party lines. To our way of thinking, in a county that is republican by about three hundred majority, it is very proper that the party lines should be drawn and, if the Journal will only keep up its fight on th.it line, wc shall be greatly pleased. Tin-: Journal complained, a few elays n-'y, about the democrats failing to ap pttcV.te the situation, anel failing to put up. As he has bristled up within the list two or t'irei days and howleel "boodle" vociferously, it is quietly men tioned o;i the streets that Mr. Sherman, probably, knows more about booble than anybody tlse. Bkothek Sherman should consult the hotel registers over the county before he makes such broad assertions about Mr. ?-IcPher?on being found every day at ilck llt thc cou,lty clcrk'8 ollicc- If there is a precinct or a town in Cass coun- ty that Mr. McTlterson lias not recently yisitccl thu irKit.vi.u would like to know the nanp; of it. We noticed him at the Van WycSc alliance tncetiti";, working the "lioys" in jjood fchajie. While wc have nothing personally to urge against Mr. McJMierson, he should try to keep his newspaper man within sight of the truth. Wii are .surpisL'd to learn that Air. Rob inson was tij) ut Lincoln during the sen atorial light last winter on business en tirely foreign to that mat'er. The pre sumption among sonrj of the other boys who were there at that time, was that Joe was? helping them out in defeating Van Wyck. If Joe has been pulling the wool over our eyes ia Lincoln, may be he is pulling the wool over the eyes of the voter at the present t into. Tiik fact i3 gaining grouml, every where in the county, that the republican ticket is one of the best ever placed be fore our people. With an experienced man for sheriff, whose qualifications are of the very best; with a treasurer, the etpjal of any in the state; with a county judge, whom democracy has not even dared to impugn his iutegrity or ability; with a candidate for county clerk who is a capable man, and who, among other qualifications, writes a splendid hand; and in fact with every man ou the ticket thoroughly qualified for the position to w hich he aspires, there is no question about its election. Tub Journal favors Mr. Foltz as county commissioner, on account of his honesty and capability as an officer; in thu same issue of the paper i; insinuab s something is wrong in the treafuret's office. To thinking men this is arrant rot. If Mr. Fo'tz is an honest, capable officer, then there can be nothing wrong in the treasurer's office; because lie has gone over with the balance of the board all the books and accounts of Mr. Campbell in their several settlements, and has always found everything so he says correct to a cent. If in the treasur er's office ahything is wrong, Folts is cither a knave or a criminal. Old Zlotv Keokuk G.-.le City: "Old Zion," the first brick Methodist Episcopal church built in Iowa, is located in Burlington and has recently been transformed into a theatre, and in the house of which was once heard fervent exhortation and pray er, and sonys of devotion and praise, is now heard the jokes of negro minstrelsy aud ihc songs of comic opera. It seems the old church was also used for court purposes, as a writer in a Burlington paper adds: "In this church I have seen the sinner bow down at the altar and plead for mercy. I have seen the thief and murderer ltd in by the same altar with hand cuffs on his wrists, with his attorney pli-udtng for pardon before Judire Mason of tha district court for another kind of mercv. I have heard sentences pronounce-! from the same pul pit, and on Sunday at 8 o'clock in the morning, 'guilty of murder anel hang until dead". The legislature convened in and around the same pulpit and aitar; and the old Indian Chief Pow e-shiek and liis braves once had a war dance in the old church." Uncier Which Flag. It is a fact which the voters of Iowa should not loose sight of, that the two great political parties represent princi ples anel public politics w hich are dia metrically opposed to each other. On the temperance question, for instance, the tepublican and elemocratic parties in Iowa occupy positions between which there is a great gulf lixed a yawning chasm of irreconcilable diff . rence. What ever may be the partisan bias of the inelivielual citizen, whatever may be the impulse of his personal desire, yet this is the mountain fact of the situation, the inexoriblu logic of things, that the suc cess of the republican party in the state means that the law is still to hava its heel on the now prostrate saloon, while "the success of the elemociatic party n;cns tiie re-eiithronenicnt and the fresh coro netiou ot the saloon. There is no man within the ample borelers of the state eleuics this, there is no man who in mature the -light of the situation know that it is pbsolutelv true. This is one fact which the voter will trick himself if he forgets. But there is another fact which is equally significant in this connection, to wit: That the force of the democratic management, every resource of elemocrat ic ingenuity, is being laid out to becloud and jniftify the real, broad issue involved as between the p irties. Every artifice known to political manipulators is re sorteil to by the elemocratic party in Iowa to prevent the voters of the state from deciding in the coining elaction with an eye single to the antagonistic principles anel policies really necessarily Involved. In the state campaign in general the elem ocratic party managers elare not entjer the fielel of fair anel full tliscussionr and from the lirst have been, deliberately-" conducting a still hunt, They are notj out in the open field of honerablecihitts" turning the light of full discussion upon the positions of the parties and trust'ng to the people to decide which way they might in knowledge and in conscience decide nothing of the sort. This is ex actly what they are striving systematical ly and zealously to avoid ami to prevent. Leaving republicans to discussion and debate, the democratic manager are skulking under cover from this corner to thut corner of the state, collecting big campaign funds, "assessing" feeleral of ficeholders, laying holel of a side issue here and a side issue there, conspiring with every republican bolter who may be anywhere found or invented in a word, trying to sneak into power by deceiving the people and plotting their best to claim an indorsement of the saloon. If the democratic campaign in the several localities of the statu be studied, the same deliberately dishonest intent appears even more signally. In tlo.ens of counties the whole construction of the tickets, as well as the entire shaping of the campnign, both by the party manag ers and by the party press, has been directeel tocovertug up the issue involved and to tricking the voters into a false vcrtlict. The democratic managers in making up their tickets have studiously avoideel the nomination of men who would emphasize the broad distitctions of principle between the parties, but, on the contrary, have sought out candieiates of such character as would throw elust in the eyes of th voters. Anel the elem ocratic press, which all the year have talked loudly of the eliyese polities of the parties, do not now speak in whispets on that fuiulamental point, but are clam orously urgent to rest the contest on personal grounds, on local iute-sf st on any thing in the worlel saye the domi nant anel essential question as to whteher the individual voter wants the saloon brought back anel legally re-enthroned, or wants his action to tend in that elirtc- tion by voting the democratic ticket. Let this not be forgotten by the voter Let it not be forgotten by the demo cratic voter. The democratic parly eloes not el a re to risk a fair discussion, even before democratic voters. This is i suspicious fact. This is by itself a con fession whicii should flash like a red sig nal light of danger in the eyes of the citizens of all parties. In every locality it, should lead them, in both city and country, to consider on which sitle they shall vote, in the light of the iuterpeta tion which w.ill be put on their verdict, and in the light of its ultimate bearing after all personal or other sitle issues be forgotten.

YWI.T. J. WAIlltlCK. Do Americans Work Too Hard? It is said that the American people work harder to obtain the "almighty dollar" than any other people or nation in the world, while they are. more lavish in spending when they get it. This may be true or not, but they certainly get more dollars for tho same work than any other j)eople, and they are not gen erally penurious i;i spending them for their onn comfort and pleasure, or mean in ap propriating them for charity and all good works. It is certainly true, also, that many pro fessional and business men, lawyers doctors, merchants, etc., including some public offi cials, especially in our large cities, work too hard and destroy their health, by both mental and physical exertion, protracted for too long a time without proper recreaction. The workingmen and laboring classes also com plain of working too hard, and the great questions of the day are those of "labor and wages," which claim attention through "strikes," labor organizations, socialistic and anarchical demonstrations. Tlio question, "Do Americans work too hard ?' requires a distinction to be made be tween natives and foreigners who form so large a portion of tho population of tho United States. Foreigners prin cipally perforin what is considered the hardest work, building railroads, mining coal, and other laborious employment, and whether they work too hard, in fact, or harder than Americans generally in other occupa tions, is a question which might be considered by itself. They probabl3' do not work harder in this than in their own country or they would not continue to come here in such large numbers. Both Americans and for eigners, however, will probably claim that they have to work "too hard." City Comp troller Loew in The Epoch. Keeping: Chickens at Home.

Senator Stanford's Horses. g Senator Stanford has perhaps more money in horses than any othtr man in the country. A friend of his"teiis me that his stables at Palo Alto cover ten iscres, and that ho has thirty or forty one acre lots surrounded by walls which he uses as circuses, or places in which to keep his brood mares. lie keeps ou tho average fc'DU horses at I'alo Alto and breeds here some of the finest colts in tho country. His average U nearly a colt a day the year round, and uuring the breeding sea son he has often as 111:1113- as a dozen births in twenty-four hours. It takes 150 men to care for these horses, and some of the finest, which are worth :.'.". ecu or .?r;o,0iJi api.ce, have a man allotted to each. The man stavs with his horse all ;he time, and in fact sleeps with him. At tho Talo Alto farm the horses do not have ordinary stalls. They are kept in boxes or circuses, and there is a corps of veterinary Burgeons there. Senator Stanford is a iiome opathist in regard to his horses, lie does noi, give them strong medicines when they are sick, nor does he vAhv them to be whipped. i His horses know him, and they run up to turn wuen tie comes lionie to California from the senate and put tln ir noses against him. Ho has a country seat within a niiie of his stables and he drives down every evening and takes a seat 011 one of his race tracks mid has his jockeys exercise some of his favorite horses before him. lie will oi't'.-n have live or six horses ia sulkies driving abreast about the ring, and at times there will be a dozen cn the track, some g'-ing ibis way and some that. The tracks are 100 feet wide and he has a number of them. He has his horses trained every day in the year, and this, in connection with the good climate and their careful breeding, has made them among the best in tho worid. His horses have taken the prices at a number of competitive races within the past few years, and the betters are not afraid to bet upon them, because they know in his case there will he no jockeying. S leaking of jockeys, Stanford has eighteen or twenty jockeys at this Palo Alto farm, and Mrs. Stanford has established a school for them and the other children connected with the stables. It is held at night, and many of the jockeys are profiting by it. Senator Stanford has a boarding house here, at which he keeps his nuV The food is plain, but good, and the senator often eats with them. "Washington Letter. A Philadelphia Man Abroad.
