THE DAILY BEE--OMAHA, TUESDAY, JANUARY 1, 1884, OLD TIME LEADERS Who Ruled the Hawkeye State in Days of Yore, VanBrunt, Thompson % Co COUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA. WHOLESALE DEALERS IN ALL KINDS OF AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS. THIS IS A CUT OF THE N. C. THOMPSON Double Row Stalk Cutter Which has'been through a good many Interesting Oharacter Sketohes. Stavo Leader, Doos it not surprise shrewd_politicians o little to note the turn John N. Irwin,of Keokuk, has taken in connection with the honorable position of governor of the territory of Idaho, (which he now wants it to be understood, he did not seck) by refusing the salary for the quar terabout ended, and returning the 8650, 00 which was paid him as his salary the last quarter, on the ground that he had not attended to the duties of the position, and could not, therefore, con- scientiously accept the salary for that office, Several surprises grow out of one groat surprise his action has caused. With what complacency he assums that there not any duties to perform in con- nection with the wearing of the honor, and how strange it sooms that the gov- ernment of the Unftod States should pay £050.00 per quarter to the governor of a territory, the management of the affairs of which can bo slighted in Such a man- ner. Governor Irwin probably has not given Idaho any of his attention, an. Yt Idaho still exhists in her cold nest in th.' northern Rockies, and even now says she will ask to be admitted as a state in five years, 1f ‘Gov. Irwin_wns not morally certain that the Umted States had not recetved full sorvice, he would inall probability accept” the salary. DBut good politicians have given him credit for be- ing a much better politician than his late action indicates; and their idea of a good politician is one who always accepts the emoluments of oftice Wlletiwr he merits them or not. Probacly Gov. Irwin is not like one or several of the Keokuk men, who have been presented with of- fices by their admiring friends, Once up- on a time, so_the story was told to me, and it was long after the surrender of Robt. E. Lee, Col. Henry Clay Caldwell, a Van Buren county man, with the pres- tige of his military record behind him, fresh with the honor which the war thrust upon him, returned to his home in southeastern Iowa. Then, as now, Van Buren county happened to bo in the same congressional district as Loe, and Keo- kuk was then in Lee county as now, Col. Caldwell was a bright lawyer, but he thought more of congress just then then than he did of law, and if the Keokuk fellows, (and Gov. Rothert lived there thenl believe) had not heard of this young man's ambitions, Col. Caldwell would have stood an excellent eppor- tunity to see what tho real sideof a congressman’s life may be. But these Keokuk fellows measured his capacitios, his popularity, and his strength, and like H0 for seasons, and has always given entire satisfaction. It is one of th: first stalk cutters ever put on the market, and to-day thereis none superior. The Single Row Stalk Cutter ‘We would request dealers to place their orders is as well known as this. with us early, as the demand for stalk catters will be larger than ever before.

Lowe removes to the — === | hetter vorld a man who was eminently abla and one whose character, public and onvate, was above reproach. Throe of lowa’s ex-governors have died within the last year and a half, Ansel Briggs and Steplien Hempstead being the other two. Ansel Briggs was the first governor of the state under the constitution, and was elected to oflice in 1846, the first year of the state, He died at Omaha, Stephen Hempstead, who succeeded him in 1850, was afterwards elected county judge of Dubuque county, and though he was in his prime one of the ablest lawyers of Towa, he outlived his usefulness, and died penniless. But a few years before his death he was elected justice of the peace in Dubuque and was obliged to live upon the seanty income it brought. Gov, Lowe died without leaving anything more than a fair competence to his family, though his entire life was spent in active £ = |law practice, The action of Goy, Sher- man in announcing the death of the ex- governor, and ordering that the flags upon the stat house be placed at half mast, was decidly appropriate and fitting, I believe he has been the first govemor To onr former patrons and to thoze who may in the future, be our patrons, we will say that wo are ugain permitted to offer you the N.

Mr, innell, 1 believe, was tendered by the vernor a position on the lowa delega- tion to look after the Hennepin canal scheme at Washington during the winter. He said in reply that if the governor wanted him to serve he wouldn't object, but that he was the wrong man to sel because he did not believelin the scheme. 3ays he: “The canal would be open for use about three months in fthe year and the other nine would either be dry or chines work ?
