never intended 10 commence any prose-

lion look like shwauing public ju.,ices -
A man 10 be struck down ia the crowded
street in open day, and before he has

We wish to refer our readers to the fol-
lowing section OF the Code Of Iowa, on
page 236. Sec 1895
"A Judge or Justice IS DlSQUAL-
"lFlED from acting as such except BY
'nntoal consent Of parties in any case
"wherein he is party or interested, on
"wsEaE HE is RELATED TO Ell.
THEIR PARTY ~ cousAreurs,rY
"or affinity WITHIN THE FOURTH
''degree. or where he has been attorney
in The action or Proceeding
Such is what the Code OF Iowa says;
yet. as soon as the old Jezebel thinks
himself amply "reuensea' he takes to
his son "Rabert." who shields him from
prosecution for simple fee of $500
Is no, the above a fair sample Of gross
pariaf,y or NAL administration in o!icel
We think it clear aud sufficient to re-
move the ESQ. from Office, yet we will
not NEEDLE with the matter. If the peo-
pie here will suffer such ou,rages, such
con,umely IN office, we care no, wha,
falls to our share. Has not the Esq.
shown himself worse than the old man
IN the whole transaction! How easy
il would have been Tor him to have
told the old sinner TO rave gone to ESQ
Bagley, or Mayor Schumacher and pay hi.
fine. but no, he was afraid they would
have dealt with him according to law,
and he takes it upon himself to clear
him.
Is there another man in Cedar County
who would so s,ultiiy hmselil We think
net. Is there another mao wao would
hold his oath Of office a. SO ,rlflng price,
We think not. But i, is over and the
same may be repeated every day. The
old Jezebel will &c, Infatuated by whis.
key and then seek after all such a. won,
vote" for his son "Rabert," as he has
done heretofore, and after he has ere.
ueagsf himself will fee to the Office Of
his son, the Esq. and Notwithstanding the
law. for supple Zee, can &c, shielded
from Justice.
TO be republican in Upton 10 worse
Than to be an outlaw 10 scotland. They
Are considered only as subjects Of con-
'umeiy by the officials Of the majority
We hope for better ,ime-hsps tor q
time when men can walk the street. o,
Upton in safety, and no, be assaulted
or TRUE words used in political can.
'ass, and assaulted by such an old drag.
On as Cd Sam Long, Sem, and have the
,fenisr escape justice through the con.
umeIy Of their own son.
