The radical organ has not yet told the
people why it condemned democratic city
council for fixing saloon licenses at $l00 q
year, and has no censure for radical ceun-
Gil for doing exactly the same thing.
Nor has it denied that one of its editors
partook Of meals at township elections, at
the expense of the people of the township.
Nor has it Jet advocated reduction OF
the price of gas from the rate fixed by a
democratic council, although it condemned
that council for its action in that matter.

SOMETHING NEw.-We notice that Capt.
Pierce has got out new poster for his
steamer, Iowa City. in which he proposes to
run her as "75y Weekly Packet THAT
is, he is going to try and make trip
once a week, between this city and Clinton.
We had supposed Capt. Pierce intended to
make three trips week, and we so announ-
ced, in these columns; but il seems that we
were mistaken, and that he is only going to
| try to make one trip week. We hope he
| will succeed. It is so satisfactory to have
| ones printing done correctly We should
think the "rollicking captain" would want
good deal of that kind of printing. a#
IMPosToRs.-About week ago, two i'm
posters, giving their names as John Lane
| and John Wagner, arrived in Davenport
and by means of fraudulent representations
succeeded in obtaining money from mum
Der of Odd Fellows, to which order they
pretended to belong. The City Marshal
obtained such information as led him to seek
for the scoundrels, but they escaped to this
side. Policeman Mi.sch discovered them
last evening, and compelled them to leave
town by way of the ferry boat, when they
were lodged in jail on the other side. By last
evenings mai, Mr.. Charles Engel received a
document of the Order, describing these
two fellows as having blackmailed several
lodges in Indiana. us

A LOOSE WAY OF Dome BUsINEss.-
Without intending to cast the slightest re-
Election on the wharf master, we must say
that it is very loose way of doing bus mess
for the city council to authorize that officer
to collec, 81, or 81, from boats, as he may
think best. Suppose we had q wharf master
who should think best to collect 50
from nearly every boat,and return to the city
treasury 81 from nearly every boat. We do
not say that any man would do this. But
the city council, by this loose way of doing
business, gives him chance to do it. esq a

THE RADICAL SHERIFF AND THE ESCAPED
RoBBER.-Pubhc opinion has pretty well
settled down to the belief that Sheriff Peetz,
indirectly, if not directly aided the woman
who stole Mr.. Kimbalrs watches to escape.
1t will he remem bered that, the night she
left the jail there was no way to get out of
| town, except by the Chicago cars no eros
sing the Mississippi or the Rock rivers; and
that she left in time to go to the railroad
| depot before the night train departed for the
east 1t should also be remembered that
from Friday evening, until Monday morning,
two full days and three full nights, Peetz did
not advertise her escape, and then only OF
fered the contemplate reward of $50
| When he found she had gone, why did he
not Immediately call on the city police, and
other citizens to aid in hunting her up?
Why did he not immediately notify Mr.
Kimball, who, be well knew, was DESTROYS OF
bringing her to punishment? 1t was merely
/ by accident that Mr.. Kimball learned of her
escape, and then not till Sunday evening,
after she had been gone two days and two
nights. Mr. Kimball passes the jail prob
ably dozen tunes a day. Why didn't
Peetz inform him? Did he think Mr.. Kim
ball would follow and recapture her? He
did not even take any steps to advertise her
until Kimbal had learned of her escape.
and probably would not have done even that,
but for the vigorous "cussing" kimball gave
him. Why did he not 60 to the railroad de-
pot that night, and stop her? Why did he
not telegraph in al directions, to have .
| watch for her? 1t is the general belief that
the woman did not escape over the fence,
but that she had ample opportunity to walk
leisurely out at the door, 60 to the ears and
leave the state. And the fact that Peetz
did not give any alarm, or call for any aid
to recapture her, or even advertise her until
after she had been gone three nights and two
days, looks as though he did not want her
recaptured, even if he did not aid her escape.
