TIE CITY ELEcTIoN.-One week from
Monday is the election for city officers. AS
the well being and good name of our city is
involved in the character of the men who
shall be elected to fill responsible stations,
we earnestly hope that both parties will
present only men of established integrity,
character, ability, morality and enlightened
public spirit. These are the primary and
fundamental qualifications required, but
there are other considerations which are i'm
portant.
First, it is desirable that the Mayor
Shot Id be a magistrate in fact as we'll rs in
name. The city ordinances should be en-
forced by city court, and the fines imposed
for their violation should go--in,o the city
treasury. Hence, the candidate for that
Office should be one whosS'private business
will not interfere with the performance Of
his duties in this regard.
|. Second, the Marshal should be a man OF
good habits, and one who will infexibly en-
force every city ordinance without fear, ia
vor or affection avhether he deems them acise
or MT. The duties of this Office are very
important and are laborious if we'll per-
formed. We therefore hope to see it filed
by an active, energetic and faithful officer
The Trustees should be men with no axes
to grind, with intelligent ideas of what is
needed in a growing city like ours, and with
honest independence enough to do right in
the face Of any amount of selfish and un.
reasoning remonstrance.
AS to the probable candidate for the Re-
publican nomination, we have heard only
the names of Judge Barton and Col. Lake
mentioned in connection with that of Mayor
Both are good men md have the interest Of
the city at heart. The candidates for the
Mars halsbip are numerous, so numerous
th at we will not attempt to enumerate them

A SuGGEsTIoN.-We have a suggestion
to make to our readers who dance. The
second floor of the new mill is as vet with
out partitions, machinery or anything of the
kind, and presents clear, unbroken space
of something like G0xllO feet, with smooth
planned floor. 1t is in its present condition
the most magnificent bal-rTm in Iowa.
The weather is propitious. Why not set the
new mill whiring by just the biggest, gay
est and jolliest party ever given in Buchan-
en- county, where with ample room and verge
enough the old ones can kick the kinks out
of their limbs, and the youngsters follow suit
"to the best of their knowledge and ability"
as the Official bonds say. We Cling out the
suggestion" for what it is worth.

CATHOLIC FA1R.-The bazaar by the la.
dies of the Catholic church has been in
successful operation at Morse's Hall all the
week. Much amusement and we doubt not
much profit to the treasury has resulted
from voting contest for gold headed cane
to be given to the most popular man. The
suffrages Of Inc crowd have been pretty
equally divided between a good looking
friend of ours and brewer. The latest in
dications seem to favor the success of the
latter. If the contest had turned upon
beauty, the result might have been differ
ent, but in that case we are not sure that.
we would not have entered the lists our
selves, when the result would certainly have
beer beyond conjecture.

those Big SAFEs-The monster safes
ordered by the Board Of Supervisors for the
safe keeping Of the books and records of
the county, arrived this week, and have
been deposited in their places in the Court
House. Eight horses and four wagons were
required to transport each from the depot.
In dimensions they are nearly the size of
the county Jail, and the two weigh 10000
pounds. They cost $4,000 or Whereabouts,
Or ten cents per pound, exclusive of freights.
They were manufactured in Cincinnati. If
we may judge from the comments on the
street, the expenditure of SO much money
for these big masses of iron, is not general
ly regarded rs the most judicious possible.

B. +. TAYLoR's LEcTrRE.-To give a
fair and satisfactory synopsis Of such a lee
tire as Mr.. Taylor delivered at the Baptist
church last evening is almost as difficult as
to produce the lecture itself. The subject
was q Words and Deeds and if words ever
had better exponent, we have failed to
hear Of him. Mr.. Taylor is word-panter,
his palette the dictionary, and his marchless
pen the brush, and it is not strange that lie
should speak approximately and lovingly OF
the implement he knows so well how to use.
His lecture, like the dictionary he SO pane
gyrized, was diffuse, but abounded with fe-
lcitous illustration, wit, beauty, pathcs and
subimity. He sharply criticized the affec-
tations which have crept into modern speech
and writing, and sung the praise of good
old hearty Saxon words in eloquent strains.
