he was not at the convention which

Coverings Senators and Congressman
on his track, but he weighed $50 pounds
bills and took his own time.
From this he switched of on to taxes
again, including the tariff. Said the
Government was virtually carried on
by taxation on whisky. Speaking Of \
high protective tariff he enthusiastically
asked, "what is done with the mOny?'

WHAT THE PRESIDENT HAS DONE
The New York Times, in referring to
the abuse poured out upon General
Grant by the Democratic organs, asks
"What has this idle, cigar-snoking,
horse jockey Of President accomplish
ed during the brief five months that he
has had such control Of the Government
AS Congress accorded to him ?n and it
etfectuaIly answers:
by IL greater care in the selection of
trustworthy agents, and by Il vigorous
enforcement of the law, the revenues
have 50 rapidly increased that the direct
debt of tile Government has already,
since his Inauguration, been reduced he
tween torty-three aud lorly-four million
OF dollars. The revenue Of whisky and
tobacco alone have more than doubled
! A reduction Of the army from forty reg
iments to twenty-five is to result in 1
further saving OF millions.
The effects of the new policy of tn,
Government toward the Indians canno
now be appreciated. but enough is al
ready known to make "A further econo
my in that direction, that must he esti
mated by millions. Our Fedora
securities arr worth to-day at least fou
hundred aud fifty millions more thai
they We're worth the day our Presiden
was inaugurated and are advancing a
the rate Of tel, or fifteen millions a week
There l. no doubt of our ability to fun
the entire National debt within a yea
at rate of interest not exceeding fou
and IA half per cent. We are sure Of

year of from Sis 900, 900 to Sl50,0OO ,0O

revenues will justify u large reduction I

The Campaign.

The political campaign which will
terminate i'm the election to he held
only three weeks from last Tuesday,
has 50 far been, and promises to be
throughout, the most quiet of any pend
Ing general election for many years.
Although in a few counties, where the
strength of the opposing political par
ties Is SO evenly balanced as to make
the result at all doubtful, the fight is be-
iRg carried on with even more than the
usual zeal and energy; the general
tendency Of the Republican party in
Iowa is to be lulled by feeling of Sc
curity much too completely into mat
tention and inaction. This should not
Le SO. AS members of the great party
of progress, We can by no means afford
TO give our opponents in all parts of the
United States for battle cries in the
next year, lava tending to Democra-
cy""Great reduction Of the Republican
majority in radical Iowa." But this
will be the result if no particular inter-
est is manifested or action taken in the
strongiy Republican counties. The Dem
ocrats are not listless in the matter.
"Quietly" may be their watchword ;
but they will come much nearer polling
their full strength on election day than
will the Republicans, unless there is n
general awakening. We are glad to
note that good stumpsrs are canvassing
many parts of the State but there must
be local interest aud action. Look to
your registry lists. See to it that the
best men and only the best are nomi-
mated for Township officers. There is
enough to do In each Township in the
!. ehort time remaining before election,
which every live Republican will desire,

A New FORM OF RESISTANCE TO THE
BOND SwINDLE.-The Board of Super
visors of johnson county having sue
cumbed to the authority of the Federal
courts, and at q late session, levied a
two per cent. tax to pay judgment in
"bon1 cases." suit was Immediately
instituted by a Taxpayer. Mr.. Rush
Clark, for the purpose of having the
levy annulled on the ground of ilegaIi-
ty. The points upon which Mr.. Clark
relied for success are stated as follows by
the Iowa City Republican:
"Mr. Clark asks that the court order
the proceedings of the Board to be sent
up and that the levy for the payment Of
the bond judgment be set aside as un-
constitutional and void.
The Board having assumed to levy a
tax upon the property of individuals,
Mr.. Clark claims that it has become a
question between the Board and the in
dividual Taxpayers, to be determined
by our own courts-that he as one upon
whose property the levy has been made
has the right to invoke the intcrpositiun
of the courts Of the State in protection
Of his property, and that his rights are
to he determined as between himself
and the county authorities, by the con-
stitution and the laws Of Iowa, as ex-
pounded and settled by our own courts,
and that in this controversy neither
Federal courts nor county creditors have
the right or power to interfere-that
though the county be estopped from de-
Tending these railroad bonds, (as held by
the Federal courts, he, as tax payer,
is not estOpped-has not been a party to
any proceeding, either in the Federal or
State courts, in which his rights as a
Taxpayer have been heard or determin-
ed, and he is now for the first time, by
the levy Of this tax, reached or affected
by this bond contest, and that, if, there
fore, the county officers are commanded
to pay these judgments. they must pay
them otherwise than by taking the
pirate property of the people Of the
county for purpose directly in violation
of the constitution and laws of the
state. Mr.. Clark also states that if the
Federal courts claim to have prior jurs-
diction of the contest between the Bond
holders and the county the State courts
will have like priority IT, the controver-
sy between the officers Of the county
and himself.
/ Such we believe are the general
grounds Of Mr.. Ciark's action, and our
| readers can understand the points made
and will earnestly desire that he should
! maintain them.
