LOS I Th Wimr Raoisraa 1 offered to elnba until October li, lte, for campalco purpoaea ooly, iouowb: The agricultural editor of Th Rbqistbb has an article to day polutiiiK out to the farmers how the city geta all the license money from the saloons, and the county pays all the criminal expenses engendered by the saloons. There Is a very great deal in this for the firmrrs of Iowa to Uiink about. The Importance of tile-draining is beyond computation. The agricultural department 'of Ths Reoisthb to-diy has some valuable information oa this subject.
Good edges e- tiinste that ti tile-tain Iowa will double the value of its lauds and the amount of their products. There Is the widest and best chance possible for enterprising men to go into the mwafrtare of tiling in this State. In addition to Its use for farm draining, tile pretty sore to prove tie only agent attaina ble for niakiog good roads, or at least better roads in Iowa. We are afraid General Weaver does Dot read his copy of The Rkgistbk as regularly and closely as he pretends to do. We fear, too, that he does not want to meet a Republican in debate so much as he says he does.
For With this day we give to him through The Register another letter from Mr. Leonard Brown, three being given before, none of which he has answered, although be knows our columns are open to him in wide welcome for such purpose. In all of these letters Mr. Brown, who was General Weaver's master in his new political faith, urgently invites his late pupil to meet him In joint debate. But the pupil makes no reply.
It mutt be that he does not consider that the man who taught him his Greenback faith is large enouga man for such as he toliueet. lie will find Mr. Brown's letter printed to-day very Interesting on this particular subject. Inderd It would seem that this last letter would lash the General Into reply finally. The State Is beginnng to laugh at the man who says he Is so anxious to debate with somebody, and yet who cannot bs dragooned Into debate with Mr.
Brown. KBW TOBK'B CBIHATOBT, CrematloD, or the burning of human corpses, may be said to have been the general practice of the ancient world, with tbe exceptions of Egypt where they were embalmed, Judea where they were burled In sepulchres, and China, where they were buried In the earth. In Greece, for instance, so exact was the law, that only suicides, un- teethed children and persons struck by lightning were denied the right to be burned. Whether In iy of these cases cremation was adopted or rejected from sanitary or superstitious reasons, it is difficult to say. Embalming would probably not succeed In count lies less warm and dry than Egypt The scarcity of fuel might also be a consideration.
The Chinese are influenced by the doctrine of Fuegshin, or Wind- Water. Even the Jews ussd cremation In time of a plague, as in the rale if Tophet, and the Berlin and Spanish Jews at Mile End Cemetery have been among the very first to welcome the revived process. There can be little doubt that the practice of cier mation In modern Europe was at first stopped and has been greatly prevented by the Chris tian doctrine of the resurrection of the body and also by the notion that tbe Christian's body was puiified and redeemed. But In this eve what would become of the blessed martyrs who perished at the stake? And science has shown that burning merely produces quickly what putrefaction takes a long time to accomplish. The very gen ral practice of burying bodies In the precincts of a church In order that the dead might have the benefit from the prayers of the persons resorting tot lie church and the religious services that precede the European and American but i Us, have seemed to give the question religious aspect.
But the question beyond being one of personal preference is purely taiitaiy. The disgusting results of pit burials made cemete ries necessary, but they are equally liable to overcrowding and are often nearer to Inhabited houses than the old-fashioned church yards. Indeed in Europe and In tliis country, as well as In overcrowded Asia, the land is so closely settled for tilling and commerce, as well as dwelling, that it is impossible to bury the dead at a proper distance. It is possible to make a cemetery approximately safe in tome Mrula of toil d'y, close, and porous, and by careful drainage. But a certain amount of irrespirable gas will escape Into the air, or Into sewerage drains, and thus reach houses, or will get Into and eon lami nate the water afterwards used.
Tbe great Paris cemeteries inflict headache, cholera and ulcerated sore throat In the neighborhood. And well authenticated facts may be brought against cemeteries In our country, com plaint having en recently made right here In Des Moines. It must also be remembered that, after all, the eeinetry system can be bat a temporary one. Tbe soil Is gradually filled 1th bones, houses crowd around, and tbe law itself permits the reopening of graves after a period of years. The recent exam- plea of poisoning by matter which was traced to grass grown graves over which the sheep browsed is very suggestive.
It seems impossible that any one should doubt the great gain, fiom a sanitary point of view, of cremating. Ir. Thompson states the problem thus: "Given a dead body, to resolve Into carbonic acid, water and ammonia, rap idly, safely, and not unpleasantly." It is probably wall acknowledged by all, that the really great obstacle to cremation now is sen timent. It seems easier to one bereaved ot a dear friend, to have the body laid quietly and eare (ally in tbe ground, than to have It re duced to ashes. It is a clinging to the flesh.
even as through association we cling to an old borne, or an old carpet after it is worn threadbare, ot an old clock after It has ceased to tell the hours. To have ones friend reduced to a few ashes, seems much harder thin to have it reduced to grave rot For years long after we know the "dust to has eome we will decorate the grave with flowers; yet It would really seem as great a show of affection to have the ashes where we could decorate them, and honor them much more conveniently and beautifully. If we want the "dear departed' really laid away. It would seem as gentle to do it In the really dean way as to wait for putrefaction to deal with the body. At any rate, at the increase of population and settlement going at present we may any of Brown says "be heaved oat of our graves to have our skulls made into drink- hur Dowls and our bonus be turned into pipes." Oa the ground of sentiment cremation would certainly prevent any Interrup tion of that sweet sleep and calm which the old prayer that the earth might lie lightly has associated with the grave.
And in the meantime we should escape the horrors of putrefaction and of tbe "small cold worm that fretteth the enshrouded form." Tbe late frequency cf body enalching has nndoabtedly had its Influence in favor of cremation. Hen don't want others to have control over their bodies after they hare lost tt A curious example came to us yesterday ot a Quebec' gentleman of wealth who has a horror of some one's using hie body for something after he had left It, and emldat help himself. So be has put It In his will that his body is to be reduced to tabes, and the kite are to be put to f'ooe Fall Goods Arriving Dally. "Will hare a complete assortment Fall Qoods by August 27.

221 223 FOURTH ST. A FOURTH LETTER TO GES. WE A YE R. Dis Morass, Aug. 6.
Qenl jame B. Reaver; Mr Dkab Sin: You refuse to de bate wltii a private citisen, do yonf It is necessary, then, In order to have the distinguished privilege of meeting yon hi Joint discussion, written or oral, that the title "Hon." tej prefixed to one's name? Lafayette said in the French Assembly, that he considered tt honor enough for him to be called a Citizen of Fiance;" and he, therefore, voluntarily relinquished his noWe title of Marquis." But America seems to be retrograding in retpect to republican er democratie ideaa. Yoor position of enatmk-staaed officer in tbe army may nave led yon into- tale bad habit of disparaging the "mere private in the ranks)') vet. as tVe leader of the Greenback Labor narty of tbe United States ot America, devoted to vindicating the rights and dignity of the common people, you ought. It appears to me, to'set a better example hi this respect before your followers.
i The great Oeliah of Gath. clothed In steel and wielding a ponderous epear In hi right hand and beaiicg a "helmet of brass Opon his bead (your bead Is not wanting hi tbe article of brass, Gen. Wearer) challenged for forty days to mortal combat the most distinguished champions of the army of Israel. I tare thought. General, that if yon should happily fail in your mad scheme to destroy the Republican party of Iowa this fall not placing Mr.
Kinne in the gubernatorial chair according to programme, and, consequently, not setting up a saloon In every valley, licensed to counteract and nullify the good done by the schoolhouse on the hill-tep, recruit the jails, penitentiaries and poor-houses with new victims of the whisky and beer fiend, and set np a grim gallows In every jail yardnd yon should, like the aforesaid Ooliah of Gath, be stricken down and beheaded (metaphorically ef course) by some humble high private in the rear rank (poor shepherd boy, with his sling and smooth stone from the the following lines might be a fit Inscription for the tablet to your memory, to be set up In the new State House after the Democrats have got possession ot it: Drop a tear Ob weaver' bier; He "defended" tbe Amendment at last After tt passed; And be 'eom mended" Problbltltlon To perdition 1 For you are madly set on doing. If possible, great deal of harm to prohibition In this campaign, as everybody sees and understands; and you cannot say of your unrighteous course that the "great finance question demands precedence," is the reason why you persist in your side-track movement that threatens tc day tbe overthrow of the temperance reuse, of which you have ever en recognized as the devoted friend, because there Is no finance issue tip for consider! on In State politics now, aud there is at tliie time no question before the people of Iowa but the saloon and the home. As the Democrats were defeated bt ltttSlr by division their own ranks, may division in the ranks of the prohibitionisbi deftat them tliis fail; awl you. Gen. Weaver, are the direct author of this division.

Still I durst not be ilent because ot the duty I owe my country and countrymen, to nse the endowment, I have inherited (from true, devoted, Christian mother) of hatred to the whisky fiend. That broke ber heart, sending her, at the early age ot thhty years to her cold grave, leaving me and my little brother aod sisters, at a tender age, to the care of a cold and selfish world overthrew my loving father, blasting bis prospects and brilliant hopes, trampling into the mire his lofty spirit, wrecking a noble mind. I will not keep silent, but 1 will assau aaa com bat you with righteous scorn and ridicule as long as 1 can speak and write, until you ex tricate yourself from your present shameful position of pretended prohibitionist, but In direct supporter of the saloon, and place your self upon the higher ground of manly po litics. Nor will calumny and falsehood.
raising their coward bands to smite me down In obedience to the mandate of tbe saloon, deter me from what 1 believe to be my boumlen duty to expose your du plicity and treachery. 1 will follow you up to the end and pour hot shot and shell of fiery indignation into the fast disolving ranks of your supporters, until they give up parly spirit aod, unfurl the standard ot patriotism. It Is Imiiosstble for you, Rent Weaver, to hoodwink the good )ople of Iowa, however adroitly your conning efforts may be directed to tliia end. Her beauty and fertility is en vironed in the clear and sitgacious mind of her patriotic citizens; and satan loosel for a season" would scarcely deive them. Tenible will be the retribution to her ene mies.
As the screeching and screaming shot and shell from the mouths ef the ngly guns of Fort Robinette daring the second day battle of Corinth filled the rebel John nies with astonishment and crnsti'i-nation and grief, just.es they supposed victory with in their easy grasp, so will the teeming bal lots of the home-loving and virtue-loving peo ple of lewa nil with astonishment, consternation and grief the aaioon Johnnies this tall and whoever stands in tbe way to victory will be swept down never to rise more, i ou.

But you alone are still very much depressed In spirit about the Governor's "crime, as you term it; ana you do not scruple to call him hard names in your Tribune, as "perjurer," "criminal, etc Well, If he bad called the Assembly together, would that have saved the Amendment? And would the court have given a contrary decision to wbat it did give?

Senator William B.
Allison, of Iowa, Is fifty four years of age exactly one year older than Mr. Blaine, who has been for many years his warm friend. Mr. Allison, bow-ever, lo.ks much younger, and among the gray-heads and fray beards In the Senate he is classed as one of the younger men. He has seen a trifle over eighteen years of continuous service at Washington, serving first eight years in the House, when he was promoted to the Senate, succeeding Harlan, who went into urant'a Cabinet, and who for a time edited the old Washington Chronicle.
Allison has served In the Senate for nearly ten years, and it is very probable that be will be refloated when his present term expires, in 1885. Mr. Allison has a high, fresh, red color in his cheeks, and a bright sparkle in his keen, dark-brown eyes, which add materially to his Iresh, youtnrul appearance, ills thick brown hair, trimmed up on the back so as to show the shape of the head, and ma sed in a thick crest overhanging a broad only occasional threads of gray. He weirs do mustache. This prominence to his full- lipped moutlu His dark eyes sre deeply set.
with humor-loving lines at tbe corners. His nose is straight and not over large. He Is a man above medium height, and a good furore. He wears nearly always for dsy or ordinary use a daik frock suit. His shirt collars are the highest and whitest worn In Washington.
He has always an air ot extreme nearness more than hi generally shown by public men. Any man who lias his color and freshness of countenance after eighteen years of life at Washington, mint lead a clean li'e. lie is very popular in Washington society, and is much liked by the diplomatic people. He la pvobably invited to more select dinners and private receptions than any other man in public life out-aue rf the circle made up of tlie President and bis Cabinet Personally he Is very popular. In the first place he does not put on the solemn mask of a statesman when he goes out.
He is ready to please or be pleased. He is very quiet and simple in his ways. He is a highly educated politician, who understands politics thoroughly. He Is nearly as fine a student of American political history aa Blaine, while be is his superior in his special studies of financial questions. His strongest feature Is his correct judgment.
He has a splendid knowledge of men. A WAR CRI Willi VARIATIONS. From Ok Phflartelphia Prttt. Ths Democratic party, having lost Its old principles and acquired no new ones, has been provided by the New York Sun and Its imitators with a compendious battle cry which needs no principles In the phrase The Re publican party must go." Oar vivacious contemporary repeats this sentence with the monotonous regularity of "Polly wants a cracker," which the new Democratie war cry aptly resembles In expressing at once an ever- present appetite and an earnest desire for Its gratification but in its constant repetition of this slogan the Sun falls to give its readers the benefit of the arguments which, ia the next campaign, are sure to accompany this new version of the old Democratic creed, the party for the offices and the offices lor the Democratic party. A very brief acquaintance with affairs will enable our Democratie contemporaries at once to give Information to their readers and point to their new cry after this fashion The public credit was never higher tbe Republican pai.ymnst go.
No national debt was ever paid off faster the Republican party must go. The currency of the nation was never In sounder chape the Republican partt must go. Manufactures have never before been more extended than nnder Republican protection the Republican party must go. The Federal revenue was never collected with less cost the Republican party must go. Tbe per cent of lors by official defalcation in the last ten years has been toss than under any Democratic President from Jackson to Buchanan tbe Republican party must go.
A Republican House in the last two years reduced the burden of Federal taxation four fold more than the Democratic majorities ex tending over six years the Republican party must go. The Republican majority in Congress has passed a law which mazes merit the test of admission to the public service the Republi can party must go. ta Bailer aaa aalatea P. baee.

When Chief Justice Chase was a eandl date far the Presidential nomination In lboS Judge William Brown, of Nlcholasvllle, Ky. well known about Washington as a ful lobbyist and claim agent, under tbe fa miliar title of Bill Brown, went to New York to assist In managing Chase's opportunities. There one day he mat Butler on the street, who said: "Yon bad better let Chase alone. He hasn't got sense enough to make a good Pfes- wem." What?" asked Brown, in astonishment: "Chase, Governor of Ohio, United States Senator, Secretary of the Treasury, and Chief Justice of tbe Supreme Court, hasn't senseenonrb to be President 7 No," said Butler, coolly; why. he Is a poor man to-day.

It is possible that other railroad operators will follow suit. The Western Union stated yesterday that fifty-nine wires leading out of New York were cut on Monday night. Quite a discovery was made at Shi Fran cisco yesterday.

Weaver is announced for a speech at St. Charles, in Madison county, this after noon.
A dodger, printed at the Watchman office at Win terse reached Tun Rkoistkb office late last night, stating the factand saying in large, flaring letters that "the General invites any of the opposition to et him in joint debate." Now why was the doners! so modest and coy? If he bad had the dodger sent us a day earlier we should have seen that his good friend, Mr. Leonard Brown, was on hands to meet him there, and to give him all tiie joint debate be wanted. We pro pose to see tbat General Weaver has at least one chance before the campaign is over to demolish Mr. Brown in debate. We again Invite and even press him to accept of the challenge or rather to accept of Mr.
Brown's acceptance of his challenge. If it is expense the General is afraid of, we will agree to do this: Tbb Rkoistkb will hire for the de bates between Weaver and Brown any of the public halls or opera houses of Des Moines, and let them have it free of charge and let them have It for a week If they want to debate that long. Now here is a chance for the General to have a debate a week long, and not cost him a cent. Will be accept of this offer? STATE NEWs AND COMMENT. Tax following sentence from the recent let ter of J.

The Doctor made a One record, rendered the Butte rare good service, and established a wide aad popular personal acquaintance during his Drat term, and In the next Lewlalature will be more useful and Influential atlU. It Is a guarantee of succeee at the polls and good legis lation In th Assembly to nominate such men as Dr. Reynold.

Every man going there will be treated in the same way If he will play th part of a gentleman: if not, then there la no hope for him. Be will certainly be pun- iihed. You may publish this."

Bishop Eider, of Cincinnati, baa israed a cUwwar to faergy to which be oaU Uselr 1 of solid gold, hermetically sealed, this to be engraven with bis name, coat of arms, date of birth and death, and this is to be handed down to his descendants. This will impress persons differently, but we think most people wouldn't care to have the body of a dead friend constantly with them, or before them. It could certainly be made a terrible weapon in cas3 of marrying a widower, and will doubtless prove a staple In funny literature. It is becoming commoner than many suppose, however, and many a man who has no wish to have bH wife or friends cremated, has chosen to will that his body shall be burned after death.
During 18T3 and 1874 great efforts were made on the continent ef Burope and the United States to establish cremation. In London, Paris, New York, Vienna, Berlin, LeJpste and Dresden the feeling manifested itself in public meetings, organization of societies, and discussion In the press. Prof. Brunnetti of Padua, Italy, was prominent among the first in the movement Sir Henry Thompson, of London, has written exhaustively on the subject, and what seems strange, women have been very prominent in its advocacy. It was inaugurated publicly by a woman.
Lady Dilke, of England, and a Ger man woman was tbe first cremated at Dresden. In this country Dr. LeMoyne, of Wash ington, Pennsylvania, established a crematory ten years ago, and within tbe past year New York has organized two cremation societies, one dealing with the question in the abstract, the other practically. The cremstionlsts at the head of the Jut York affair, put a great deal of emphasis en the improved methods of cremation. As now performed tbe burning is no more like the rode burning of old, than leaving the body on the surface of the ground.
There will be no more suggestion of fire nor any more smell of smoke about the process than there was on the gar ments of Shadrach, Heshach and Abednego when they came out ot tbe fiery furnace. In the 1.8 Moyne crematory, which is to be very much improved upon by the one to be set up in New York, fire does not come within fifteen teet of tbe crib in which the corpse rests. The Incineration Is effected by pure heat, which absorbs the gases of the body, even to the dissolution of the bones. The outwaid form remains unchanged till the work of disintegration Is accomplishc i and until cold air strikes It, when It crumbles to an ashy powder. I am in favor of a saloon on every bill- top, If necessary, and on every roadside, and on every street and thoroughfare, and In all public places.
Tbe more public the better." L. O. Kinne, Democratic candidate for Governor, in his Qreenfltld tpeech. Hon. II.
C. Laub, of Crawford county, so boastingly claimed by the Lender as a recruiting Captain for tbe Democratic party, in a letter to the Secretary of the Temperance Alliance, dated July 34, 1883, closes with this significant sentence: "We pray our Father to keep us from the impending evils the Democratic party threatens to hurl upon us." So It is not probable be Is golog to be as much of "a Democratic recruiting Captain as the XevKler advertised him to be. THI OPBOTNO RALLY. The Republican campaign In Iowa will be formally opened on Saturday next with a grand mass meeting at Clarinda. It is expected that there will be, despite of the busy season of the farmers, a large attendance.
Of the programme and the speakers on the occasion the Marshall Time says At the grand opening of the campaign by tbe Republican, soon to take place at Clartada, In which Governor Sherman, Senators Allison and Wilson, Colonel D. B. Henderson and other notable gentlemen will take part there will be evolved enouirh of political material, to make a plendld campaign document. It Is understood thst Senator A lison will dlaouu national affaire. Senator Wltaon will present the history and the purposes of the two parties on the temperance question, while Governor Sherman will dwell upon State affairs.
With this array of talent di rected to the special subjects which they are respective so well qualified to discuss, there ought to be, and will be a fund of Information present ed that will be peculiarly appropriate to the Is sues that are now before the people. It la weU understood that no man in the nation Is better qualified, by reason of a thorough and practical knowledge of public affaire, large ex perience and acute observation, to discuss national questions than Senator Allison, and hi speevk will be looked forward to with much In teract, as sounding the key note of the Republi can party for the great campaign In 1884. Senator Wilson with his deliberated orcl ble and convincing methods of handling all questions. cannot fall to arouse the bast element of the State to enthusiastic action upon the moral Issue Involved, and to throw consternation into th rank of the reerultlng sergeants of the saloon." And so far a the part which Gover nor Sherman will take In the discussion there can be no doubt as to the effect which It will pro duce. The Governor Is Intimately acquainted with But affairs.
His long experience In om- olal position In which all the interests of Iowa have so frequently been brought to hi notioe and attention, hi keen foresight aod business methods, will enable him to present to the people of tbe Stat a ooaditloa of affaire that can but excite admiration for, and confidence In the party that ha been Instrumental in bringing tt about. James McDermott lacded In England Mon day and was promptly Jailed by the authori ties upon a charge ot conspiring to murder public officials. Mr. Kinne, in violently assailing the major ity cf the Iowa people who voted for the Amendment, inveighs bitterly against majority rule. TbeCreston Gazette says of him on this bead: Mr, Kinne would escape from the power of the people's will on the temperance question by saying majorities are sometime wrong.
"The majority oruciSed the Savior," the majority favored slavery," etc etc Your argument amount to nothing, Mr. Kinne, unless you are ready to say that with reference to the temper ance question tee majority In Iowa an a wro ng a that saojortty who 'crucified the Savior" or that other majority which -favored slavery." It was wrong, then, to voce for the Amendment, was It not, Mr. Kinne If ao. what about yourself and the arisen thoaaaad Democrats, whom you are reported ss saying voted for the Amend ment to "discipline the Dutch Mr. Kinne, yen havs a hard road to travel.
The President of tbe Second National Bank, of Elmira, New York, was reported on the wrong side of a pork deal to the extent of about 1150,000.

A London cable dispatch, dated the 3d of Augusts says that a Mr. Shapira, of Jerusalem, bookseller and dealer In antiquities, hat Jnjt deposited In the British Museum fifteen slips of black sheepskin leather, on which are written In characters similar to those on the celebrated Mosbite stone, portions of the Book of Deuteronomy, differing materially from the received version.
Tbe date of the slips is the ninth century before Christ, or sixteen centuries older than any an then tie manoacrlpt of any part of the Old Testament Mi. Shapira bought them from an Arab, and be asks for them (5,000,000 from the British Moseum. If, genuine, the interest and importance of tbe discovery cannot be overrated and, so far as tbe variatioes In the sacred text are eoneet jed, there is promise of one of the greatest controversies that scholars have ever entered upon. Tbe decalogue furnishes a good example for comparison with the received version. We quote from the Shapira record: 1 am thy God.
