Lsrat r..ui r. ohl Cj'iiSj ail City Pipar. rwlltical SKakln To-uurn w afternoon all o'clock, the county candidates tor the different offices will meat in battle urray at the Court House, and discuss the political issues of the day. Everybody should turn oot io full force, and make the meeting a warm on, ?io ft fits will be a'.lowod, but a lively time is looked for. A Virion lrnt. Ou Friday or las: week while Kov R L Stevens, of Waterloo, was riding along the road between Waterloo an J Sweet Heme, he was accosted by a boy about twelve years of age, who ajked him tc let him ride with him. This Mr Stevens consent ed to, and the boy got in his wagon, and they started on ; but a brother of the boy, (whose names were - ) aged about seventeen, was standing by the roadside a little farther on. In an imperative tone he ordered Mr. Stevens to stop and have hie brother get out. This Mr Steven paid no attention to and drove on. 44 D n you, if you don't stop I'll shoot your horse," yelled the boy. Supposing that the b y was only talking to bear him self, Mr Stevens paid ne attention to him, but the boy was in earnest, for he drew a tevolver, tiring at the horse, hit ting him and prod uctng a wound which caused his dia;h. Mr Stevius jumped out, aud started fur the boy, but he level ed his revolver at him and told him if he cameauy nearer he would shoot him, which he no doubt would have done, as be is a desperate youth The horse was a very valuable one. and was coubideroo worth at least a (300, The crime was a penitentiary offense, punishable by im prisonment from six months to three years, and the bey certainly deserves all the law will givehim, if the circumstances were as reported to us. It is due the boy though to say that he claimed that he thought Mr Stevens was kidnapping his brother, and that he of ferred to pay $ 100 to settle matter, hat it was of cour ie refused. The Machine Laatl Law. Greedy 11. was comparing the platforms of the two parties the other day, critici sing m j.t severely the plank in the Dem ocratic platform relating to the mortgage tax law, and praising one in the Republi can platform retttiug to the Mechanic's Lies law, which in bis narrow, atomic brain, ho had mUuken for something else. "Machine lanl law," ha ejiculated vociferously, "that's my do,'trio9,that's the law we want, dang your mortgage tax law." His audience by stuffing newspapers, handkerchiefs, jac knives, etc., in their months succeeded in keeping quiot, but it is dangerous even now to mention ma chine land iaw to them. Soasetblag IwcH The Demjckat has been remembered miay times, by generous friends, some leaving one thing and some another ; bat a much as any does Mr. J. D. Creel de serve onr statue of Liberty thanks. Last wees ne came into our sanctum wttb a platter of fine honey as we have eyer had the pleasure of assisting in demolish ing. It was spring honey, raised by Mr. Creel'sown bees.who were fed on this years plum blossom?. Clear and pure it was fit to set before the Queen of England, the President of the United States, or bettor still, a country Editor who is not so mncb of a gourmand but what be can tell the dif ference between good and bad honey. Mrs. Sherman had a string of diamonds given her by a heathen king, but better than that is a platter of honey that can be tas ted a ith confidence.

Mrs Charch was eighty years of age, and was universally esteemed by all who knew her, as a womau of sterling worth, a pare christian and a noble mother.

True, hs is a man of many words, and, as ose of his party friends expressed it. is unite "tononey," but osudor compels us to say that whsn that is said, all has been said, that can be said in favor of bis ability. He touoned lightly upon the land grant question, and handled it very tender ly knowing that if he did not get the corpor ation and railroad influence there would be no hope of his eleetioa. His strongest dec laration on that subject was that he stood upon the Republican State platform upon that subject, but he purposely neglected to read the platform upon that subject for fear the people would discover that it is so eraf Uiy and ingeniously drawn as to not touch any rants except those in this state, hence this leaves out the Northern Pacific laud grant entirely. As to regulating freight and fares on railroads Mr. Hermann was squally ten der.
