MURDER,

MCRDERg
On Sunday morning Trad PR1cnARr, an
elderly mana trapper and hunter of AL.
lamakce Co., Iowa, was discovered abou,
half a mile below McGrcgor near the wa
tcr's edge, in a dying state, with his scull
broken in and other acts of violence on his
person. The alarm was. given and the dy-
ing man was brought to town by direction
of tho authorities. The best medical aid
was summoned, but the unfortunate man
expired at 3 p. NJ. on Sunday. In the
meantime several arrests were made, all of
the suspected were discharged except
FRANK LINHARr, who will undoubtedly be
bound over, His examination is proceed
ing as we write.
As the doors are closed to all except the
officers of justice, lawyers and witnesses,
we cannot tell what the facts are from tes-
timony. As the miserable man is in the
hands of the law and entitled to an Sim
partial trial. we forbear to judge the case
from motives of prudence as well as JUS
ticc- Ills not an EDITORS business to set
tic questions of guilt in matters involving
the life Of brother human. We are f,-
rored by Judge Baugh with report of
tho Coroner's inquest, himself presiding;
G. W. Cook acting as Secretary; II. w.

rs jurors. The report says that FRANK
LINHAKr is probably the murderer of the
old man. AS We have heard several sto-
RIGS about it, and know less now than in
the beginning, we drop the subject. If
Linhart is bound in iron manacles he is
beyond the reach of our censure. One
thing we do know; there is covey of
miserable devils in this town "whom it
were base flattery' to call "honcst," and
if We were Mayor 1--WE wouldn't take the

didn't quit!
Since the above was put in type the pre-

held for trial at the Circuit Court.

A AUTHORIZATION Society.

Our German citizens held meeting Oh
Wednesday at Turner's Hall for the pur-
pose of organizing society of anti-liquor
prohibition. A report of the meeting will
be found in our local columns this morn
ing, with u publication of the resolutions
adopted. These resolutions clearly and
concisely state the object of the organi-
cation.
1t will be seen that the society, as Or
gained, embraces in its membership gem
tlemcn of differing political faith, but who
unite in this movement to secure Il repeal
on the liquor traffic. All the charges
brought against these statutes, in the reso-
lutiOns, have been substantiated by the ex-
perience of six years, the date Of their re-
vision, and it is unnecessary to comment
ut length upon them. 1t has been the re-
mark f men of all parties in this State
that except so far as the liquor statutes
disgraced the legislation of the State they
might be considered dead letter. They
have done no good, and some Of the ablest
temperance advocates have favored their re-
peal, and the substitution of laws which,
while effective, would also be creditable.
For ourselves we have never had faith
In an enforced temperance. We have
known no cases of legislated sobricty.-
Men do not regulate their personal habits
by the commands of Legislatures. The
laws of Iowa for the prohibition of the
sale of liquor we believe, with the gentle
men who met at Turner'S Hall, should be
repealed.
A law regulating the traffic we believe to
be far more in keeping with the necessi-
ties of the people, and more just. Such
a law, if wisely framed, would be greatly
more effective in "suppressing intemper-
ance," the avowed object of the present
statutes, while it would not interfere with
undcniable rights of property. If fanati-
cism will give way to reason we believe the
mass of the people will SO judge, and the
honorable means to be employed by the
Authorization Society will be success
full in securing the repeal of the mongrcl
statutes of the States.-DuJuque Herald.
