Our contribtors when writing articles for our paper will please consider four thing*; first, am I right? second, is it the acting ol a proper spirit? third, what good will it or will it not <lo more harm than good? fourth, have 1 mastered the situation? It is an easy matter to correct one’s language in regard to news aud tacts; but we will never, nor can it be done, take upon ourselves the position of chang ing one’s ideas and notions, Above all exclude personal matter; and ii any person o* community lias any contro versy nr difficulty to settle remember, that the newspaper is not the place to settle it. We would rather give space jn our paper for some to defame and Jibelize Christianity and everything that has a tendency to laise man high er in any respect or defend somethihg ot an eposite tendency and effect, than it> give jt to some one to defend the fofmer and ccnsnre the latter, or rath er one that acts it. Teach and act what is right—Keep to the right ami all will go well at last. The subject is too bioad and long to comment far ther. Mark M. Pomeroy will begin tlie publication of a campaign illustrated weekly, United States Democrat, the first week of this month, in New York City. Jt is cheap and no doubt will be full ot interest—we are tempted to say extravagance if nothing else. Toil theie are many acts of a criminal na* ture, ofjhe Republican party, that can never be depicted in too glowing colors or strongly censured.

SOMETHING EOR EVERY ONE’S CONSIDERATION. BIBLE QUESTIONS ANSWER ED, etc. For The Times. Twilight hour, while shadows gather O'er tho wonry earth to-night, Thou art dearer than tho sunshine,” Dearer than the morning light,, to those who during the hours of sun shins have little time to rest, or think calmly of anything; but after the day’s work is over, it is sweet to lest and watch Twilight' draw her sable mantle round, And pin it with a golden star”; or, with the telescope of memory pierce the blank lying between the present and tho past; yet a feeling of sadness will often creep info olir hearts, while thinking of some pleasant scenes, to hear the frog near by repeat “gone, for ever gone!” But, oh! I have no time for musing jnst now—wish I had. For a good while I have been want ing to help you thank Dr. Kussay for his generous support of our paper. I often wish we had many more such men in Dade; if we had, wouldn’t our Times flourish like a “green Bay tree” But it is thriving; if is a success, and we are very proud of it. “I move” that we raise a subsciiption and send the Times a few months to some of those men who are too penurions to pay for it; just to let them experience for one time the feelings of a liberal heaited man, while he reads his own papier. I know of two such stingy men. I wish their friends, if they have any, would send them a few copies, llow funv! Ed. L. Sutton’s think ing our A. J. T. pne of the “lords of creation”, when so many men forget their “sweet-hearts” in lese time than two years; though, we do thank you for writing, and hope you will write again; we like every one that loves Dade and her Times.

You like problcms.now you and “Trenton school boy solve this one: “From six take nine from nine take ten. From forty take fifty, and six remain,,. I don’t like anything that appertains to mathematics; and regret now that 1 have spent so many pre cious hours of my life forcing over “Euclid’s” circles, triangles &c.; so don’t give me any more in return fer nunc, rtranl zy, are ynn ill. in<lo n d? Why don’t yon write? J thougt you was the best friend oi* paper had at R. F., but Von have failed top it appears. Well A. J. T. I will tiy and an swer yout questions. 1 don’t think we have any evidence in the Bible of Pre- Adamite. The sacred history, as written by Moses, assures us that Adam snd Eve were the first persons created on earth: see Gen. ii. 7. Our Savior con fumes this, when he said “From the beg tiling of creation, God made them male and female”, Mark x. 6, It is undeniable, that He refers to Adam and Eve, because in the next verse He uses the same Words, as those in Gen. ii. 24. It is also clear from Gen. iii. 20., where it is said that, “Adam called his wife's name Eve, becaus ahe was the mother of all liv- ing'\ The Nicolaitans were heritics, who assvmed the name from Nicholas, ol Antioch, a Gentile l>y birth, who first embraced dadaism and then Christian ity; when his zeal and devotion reco mend him to the Church at Jerusalem by which he was chosen one of the first deacons. Many of the primitive writers believed that Nicholas was the occasion rather than the imthor of the infamous practices of tlioeo who as sumed his name, and who were ex pressly condemed by the Spirit of God Rcr.ii.

KtI.LOGG IOWA. • Editor 'limkh:— A very threatening cyclone passed over this country last ednesday, and did considerable dam age in parts of the country. The haj! beat down some of tlie small grain and com. Wo have self-binding reapers whioli work with success. Owners of threshers are preparing for work. lowa, generally, has the finest crop it has had in four years. A great deal of interest is taken in Stock raising in this cruntry. Calves are taken from the cows very early and fed. Cattle commonly weigh 1,200 pounds: the largest I have seen weigh ed 2,400. The average weight of lings is, 450 lbs , the largest I haw seen 700. Average weight of horses 1,500, the largest, 2,000. The letter from Ed. L Sijtton, was very interesting, ard there are others like Ed., would like to see all sign their real names to their aiticlcs. \A here is .) P>. Cagle that lie could give ns a letter? or the Deer Head writer? Has he become entangled in politics? Well, Igo to the P. O. to get my 1 j.-jiis with just as much plca snip, on if it was to meet an old friend I noticed the article specially; headed Profanity. A person who can not s‘op tTie habit ought to come out here for there are so many infidels who piaoticc it so much he certainly won Id have an abhorrence of *t. There are more here than any place I was ever at. Political excitement as the election nears becomes more intense. r I he sen timent is strong for Cleveland and Hendricks. J. B. Weaver is a candi date for Congress from this Htate; and he is no Blaine man. The Democrats supported him. and he in return will support atnl carry his force for them. July 28th. C.u.vim Adxwh. lona Democratic. A dispatch in the N. Y. Sun says that Mr. Murphy, of lowa, said, on the 27tTu So far as lowa is concerned, we are going co surprise the cowntty. The St. John ticket will take from 15,0(10 to 20,00 from tho Republican vote ami a combination av77l be made with the Greenbaekers at onr State Con vention, giving them four or five elec tors, and we will take eight or nine. That combined vote will carry lowa as it did in 1882. The foundation of that combination has already been made by Gen. Weaver. Under a like combination in 1882 tbe popular vote of lowa for members of the Legisla ture showed that tho Pemoeiatrc par ty had three hundred or four hundred ma jority. With the same combina tion this year we will have at least the same majority. The change rn popular sentiment is due to onr sumptuary laws. The Germans in lowa arc solid for Cleveland. At the ratification mee ting held in Davenport on Saturday night a week ago there were not less than 1,000 Germans present The Chairman of the Republican County Central Commitoo of Scott county made a speech in favor of Cleveland and Hendricks. Three* fourths of the Germans of that county have liitlieiJo been Republican, but Ido not know of a single one of them who will not vote the Democratic ticket this year. Scott county lias heretofore given 2,000 Republican majority, but it will give Cleveland 3,000 majority. • SUICIDE. \V v. read with interest and regret that such wan ever tho caso, tbe account iu tho Catoosa Courier, of the suicide of Marshal L. Gilliland, formerly of Graysvillo, in San Antonio, Texrjs. It would construe too much of our Rpace to give the details. We believe the letter that he wrote and left for the public would lie of interest to every one, therefore wc give it below; and leave tho matter subject to every ones consideration. While there is some tin ng striking in it, yet we can never concede, hut that wc should cheerfully submit to whatever Gol sees fit to im pose upon us. He committed the act by taking morphine. Souther* Hotp.r* San Antonio, Jury It’*, 1884. To whom it may concern: People generally have a curiosity to know why a man commits suicide. The reason why I do so comes fioin ill health and misfortunes in other matters. Long . continued had health has brought poverty, and the two together have taken away the love for life that I had. I hav u been schooled in the belief that ono incurs the everlasting displeasure of his ma ker in taking his own lite. But God is just, of that I am most sure, and it is not only a hope, hut a belief with me, that I will undergo less mental and physical pain in the next world than I have in this. Men who take the lives of others and are punished, always say they are going straight to Heaven.

My lilo has been a most complete failure but with health I should want to live, for I love the green fields, the singing birds, the clear streams and the smiling faces of mv friends. Rut bad health and lack of means forbid my enjoying the company of those 1 love, and I haven’t the courage to bare mv breast to tlie pelting storm of shame and mortification that 1 would be forcad to suffer, and 1 am satisfied that mv infirmities are incurable. 1 hose of you who think a sane man never to-’k his own life are in etror. My mind was never clearer than it is now. I have seen much of the world atpl tfir lirev of few whose eirfnmsfnnnrff have been so humble, have hern so va ried with good and ill, and pTeairaicr and pain. I hare travelled ynos! of the states and hare feasted nrr ryes on the sights of‘‘.Merry England" and the great city ot London.

On a stone rn one of the cells is scratch ed a I ino by one who was there for re ligions belief. It is thus: “A perilous passage maker h a port pleasant" and, if that he true, which 1 donbt not, a new port will he a pleasing sight to my longing eyes. Have seen West minster Abbey and tbe nionmnents placed three in honor of the great of England, groat in science, poetry r»nd war. I hare wandered through the British museum and along the Tha mes embankment, and have stood on the while cliffs of Dover and looked a cross the English Channel to the sun ny land of France. Have revelled with the revellers amid the gayeties ot the queenly city of Paris. Have seen the wonders of the Louvre, Cluny, Lux embourg, Ft. Germain, Versailles and the Pantheon. Not Jong srnce 1 saw the tomb of the great Napoleon, and as 1 remembered some of fire cventsin his womieifnl ca reer I stood beside him and kissed the sky from the summit of the Alps, and I fought with him iu the hot samla of tint Assyrian plains.
