We commend to the careful perusal of our
readers, the very able. lucid and timely card
of Senator Grimes, relating to the Asylum at
Mt PIE ,sant, which we print in another col
umn. 1t will he found perfect crusher to
the Locofoco falschoods which are being IN
dustriously circulated over the State, sending
every one of them home to roost Don't fail
to read it. 1t shows who is responsible for
its inception, location and subsequent man.
agement that it has cost less than other
buildings of the same size and finish in other
States and that it is barely large enough to
Accommodate the present number oflunatics
in the State. When the claims of this un-
fortunate class of our citizens and the i'm
mense cost to individuals a I'd TO counties of
supporting a ! rye number of them out Of
the State, are considered, it strikes us that
these fibbing demagogues, ought to be
ashamed of themselves +! But we don't expect
that. We do expect, however, that the in.
telligent and humane voters of the State will
be ashamed of them and repudiate them al

The SChOAl Law.

The history of this law, about which the
bawling stumpers of the Democracy are just
now making so much fuss, shows that SO far
from being regarded as party measure at
the time of its adoption at the last session of
the Legislature, it was voted for and opposed
by both Democrats and Republicans, indis-
criminately Indeed, if either party is in
fault, it is the Democrats, for the law was
drafted by Hon. Maturin L. Fisher who urg-
ed its adoption upon the legislature. In its
inception then, it was democratic, and the
journals of the two Houses show that the
same party could have defeated it in either,
the law having in the Senate 10, Just the
constitutional majority, three of which were
democratic, and in the House where thirty
seven was necessary to pass it, the vote was
45 in favor to Is against, ~ Of the 40 being
Democrats, so that change of a few demo-
cratic votes in either House would have de-
feated it. |
Let it be understood then that the Demo-
Gratis had the power to defeat the School law,
and failed to exercisc'it. They are, there
fore, as responsible for it as the Republicans,
and more so, indeed, as it was founding
of one of their own party. 1t was conceded
that the school laws required revision. The
present system, coming as it did from the
then Superintendent of Public instruction,
was supposed to be, if not perfect system,
at least an improvement upon the old law,
and was voted for under that superstition
The practical workings of the system show
that perfection was not attained, and it will
devolve upon the next legislature to remove
the defects which experience has demonstra-
ted to exist This will doubtless be done,
unless the Democrats should have power to
prevent it, by voting, a majority of them,
against any change which, judging by the
past, they would be likely to do. They
won't have the power, though.

Tax Payers of WapellO! Look
at This!

The amount of taxes for county purposes
which you are required to pay by this Dem
ocratic, economical, county administration, is
only $lG,747,ls, with the school tax, $780,
2l5,sl. The amount which the outrageous
ly extravasent Republican State Administra-
ton has levied upon you for the same year,
is just about one quarter, or s5,207, 36.-
Look on this and then on that! And yet
these economical democrats, would like to
persuade you that the Republicans are re-
sponsible forhigh taxes and that you ought
to place them in Office in order to get the
taxes reduced, and this in the face of the no.
torious fact, that universally where they have
the financial management of counties, States
or the Nation, they are profigate and extrav-
igant, spending enormous sums of money;
nor for judicious improvements, but to pay
officials, md reward partizans. - $685..

STATE INDEBrHDNEss.-It will be seen, by
reference to an official exhibit off. w. Cattell,
Auditor of State, that the State of Iowa, in
stead of being in debt as the lying Democrats
charge, has upwards of $1,000 over suffi-
Gent assets to meet every liability,
and including cost of all those ins:itu-
tons, such as the Insane Asyl I'm which
Dodge tells the people out west, is large
enough to hold comfortably the entire pop
ulation of the State!

HIGn SALARlEs.-The bill of the last SEES
sion raising the salaries of Governor and
Register of the State land Office. passed the
Senate by vote of 26 to 4. OF the yeas, s
were Democrats, of the nays one was Repuh-
hcan and three Democrats. In the House,
the vote was 81 to 2. OF the yeas IL We're
democrats, including CampbeH of this coun-
tv. One other member did not vote at ALL
The two Nays were both Republican. From
this it will be seen. that if the Democrats
were so violently and sincerely opposed to
high salaries then, as they appear to be
now, they could easily have defeated
the bill of the last session. They chose not
to do SO, and consequently are responsible.
