a MONOPOLY.

Senator j. G. Patterson, ofFloyd Co.,
has introduced bill i'm the legislature
providing for the repeal of the law au.
thorizing the printing of blanks for
county use i'm the counties, and having
the same done by the State Printer at
Des Moines instead. This is another
thrust at the county press, and is as
unjust as it is absurd. But aside from
its unjustness, all will see at a glance
the great monopoly it would build up
at Des Moines, for the interest of Mills
& Co. 1t cannot be presumed that bit
ter opposition to the county press wo'd
alone prompt Senator Patterson to this
bold scheme, and yet we are 10th to be-
lieve that the Senator would sell him.
self for a compensation. If the gentle
man is working for influence, it may
appear i'm the future that the combined
influence of the local press will be as
potent i'm politics as the State Register.
There are but few counties in the State
where the printing cannot be done
cheaper, and we can truthfully say
equally as we'll as ut Des Moines, and
there is no reason why the local press
should be crippled to enrich the peck
cts of the "Des Moines clique" The
bill is ridiculously absurd, and we have
too much faith in the integrity of a
majority of our Legislators to believe
that it ever will pass.

Senator Powers.

The proceedings of our State Legisla-
ture thus far has given the most eenclu-
sive evidence that i'm the person of Sen
ator j. ID. Powers, the people of Black
Hawk County have an efficient work
er aud faithful public servant.
His prompt action in placing him
selfnpon the record in opposition to
the repeal of the publication laws en-
titles him to the thanks of the people
of the county. His action shows a de-
termination to faithfully represent the
interests of his constituents and a de-
sire to let the people know what he
and his associates are doing. e
We are also assured that our worthy
Representative Geo. Ordway is also OPP
posed to the repeal of the law. If the
law is repealed we are gratitied to
know that Black Hawk County will
stand all right upon the record.

How it Looks.

We regret the necessity which CONF
pels the people to question the motives
prompting some of our law makers at
the State Capitol. 1t is hard to believe
that men in our Legislature, elected by
the people to represent their interests,
would wantonly abuse the power con-
ferred upon them to crafty mere per-
sonal spite; yet We confess and candor
compels US to say that there are men
composing the legislative wisdom of
Iowa, who have lost sight of their du-
ty as Senators and Representatives,
and who Seem to have forgotten all
else in an attempt to reek vengence on
the county press. 1t looks that way
at least. When it is known that the
law passed by the session of the Legis-
lature two years ago, authorized the
publication of the laws i'm two papers
of each county having the largest cir
culation, at one third the regular ad
vertising rates. and that this gave uni
much SO that not citizen has asked
for its repeal, it is only reasonable to
suppose that these wise dignitares
have Incorporated the powers CIV
en- them to base, contemplate pur-
pose.
The law as it now stands, gave the
people the privilege Of reading the
laws at the time they were passed, at a
cost of three cents for eoch person :;
whereas, under the old system, and
the one which is now proposed by these
learned law givers, If allowed the priv.
iege of reading them ut all, it will be
from four to six months after they are
passed.
The whole movement is prompted by
a spirit of revenge and determination
to deprive the publishers of county
newspapers the small pittance allowed
them for the publication of the laws
and proceedings of Boards of Supervi-
sors. Its prime movers and instigators
are composed of a class of disappoint-
cdpoliticians aud roliticaI tricksters who
have sought this as the most favorable
" tHc GUILTY
press for their criticisms on their action
on the same measure last session.
Senator Cattell, in aspiring to be
Governor in the last campaign, found
the press of the State arrayed against
him. This will readily explain why
he is now SO thoroughly determined on
the repeal of the law.
We are informed the Senator was
once above all petty intrigue, an earn
est worker and a faithful advocate of
the interests of the people. The infer
ence is now that he and Tumher OF
his associates must haye become sadly
demoralized. .. .. ..a&
The bill will come up for further ac-
tion on the 9th, and it is believed that
the strong circumstances which have
gone i'm from the people of every town
and county in the State against the re-
peal of the law, will convince the
members, of both Houses that they are
elected as the representatives of the
people, and that their duty is to labor
for the interests of their constituents,
and not for their own personal aims

Gen. Grant and tho Presi-
dent.

Affairs Mt Washington present hu-
initiating spectacle. The President has
dou5ly disgraced his high office in the
late trouble with Gen. Grant, by his at
tempt to bring about a personal quar-
rel. The reply of Grant TO the charges
of the President, were manly and dig
nified, yet severe and to the point. The
President has prepared an elaborate re-
ply To the Generals last letter which
has been delayed in its publication,
owing, it is said, to the fact that Secre-
tary's Seward and McCulloclI refuse to
endorse it, 1t is reported that the Pres
ident insists that they must endorse ii
or resign. It is quite probable that
Seward and McCuiIoch will not long
remain in the Cabinet.
