The Dubuque Herald, which has an ad,
anirable fuculty for extracting a great
amount of comfort ont of the most slender
materials, INDUCES in the usual verbal gym,
nastics over the recent municipal elections
in this part of Iowa wherein-on local is
sues in almost every instance-a very few
Republican officials give place to Demo
Gratis, and repeats the thread bare fus'ian
that the good work of wiping out the rad
ical party ''Eas just begun" The Eerala
has been announcing the beginning of this
process for the last ten years, whenever it
could obtain information Of the election of
q Democratic constable or road supervisor
to the place occupied by Republican, but
though often commenced, the wiping out, is
as far short of mplishment as ever.
Each election involving party issues finds
the wiper terribly demoralized and the
wipee as lively as cricket.

The Wintcrset SIN gives the following
forcible illustration Of the inequality OF
railroad taxation in Iowa. Such facts as
these will compel a remedy:
THE track of the Rock Island Railroad
Company, in Madison county, is ten miles
long. Estimating its value at $4,000 per
mile a very low vanation), and we have a
total valuation Of $1,000 This pays the
enormous tax OF SlG0. If an individual
owned farm, dwelling, q store or any
other kind of property worth two hnnd' ed
thousand dollars, he would be taxed twelve
hundred dollars. We like railroads, and
believe in giving them all proper encourage
ment, but the infamous injustice Of taxing
poor mans forty acres at six per cent. ant
a railroad company's raiIlions at three pc
cent, is an insult and an outrage

ELECTIONS.

Most of the municipal elections held on
Monday so far as heard from seem to have
turned upon other than political issues.
'.Citizens" tickets were nominated III al
most all the towns and cities in this part OF
Iowa. and seem to have achieved at least a
partial success.
In Waterloo the entire Republican ticket
was elected. The principal opposition was
on the Marshal, for which office, Bird, the
Citizens candidate was defeated by 81.
Cedar Rapids elected a Citizens ticket
with Republican at its head by an aver
age majority of $50. There was about the
same majority for the proposition to annex
to the city, the town of Kingston, on the
west side of the river. A loan Of 1000
was also voted to secure the location of the
B. C. & NJ. r. r. machine shops.
Anamosa elected Democratic Mayor and
Recorder, the Republicans carrying the e
out of four councilmen.
Monticello elects straight Republican
ticket, with NJ. NJ. Moulton for Mayor, by
an average majority Of PIG.
Waverly elects a Citizens ticket with
Democrat in the place OF Mayor.
Iowa Falls ditto.
Nashua elects mixed ticket, with Re
corder, Marshal and one Trustee Demo
Gratis the balance Republicans.
In Charles City the Republican candi-
date Tor Mayor beat the Citizens candidate
votes.
Fort Dodge elects Democratic Treas
urer and ont of counclmen.
In Cedar Falls were regular and opposi-
ton Republican tickets, A portion of both

No FURTHER ON That LINE.-If the fol-

"On the train from Philadelphia to New

under mind diseased. and was probably
being conveyed to some asylum for treat

his disquiet antics, his hallacination having
the remarkable form that he was the lament
ed George Peabody in defunct state, and
his anxiety concerned the disposition that
was to be made of his remains. He was
tired Of being conveyed about, and longed
for the quiet composure Of funeral cerement.
The illusrious "ccrpse" was exceedingly
animated, and subjected his custodians to
no little exeriion in retaining the "remains"
under subsection. Finally in one of his
paroxysms, gaining his feet, he broke forth,

THE SITUATION.

Continued wet weather during and after
harvest, made it impossible to secure the crops
in good order. The light yield. inferior q ual
ity, and remarkable low price at which it was
forced upon the market, paid very ltrle more
than the actual expense Of harvesting. Tie
consequences are, farmers generally cannot
meet their promises to pay Disappointment

upon IL bountiful harvest. and good prices for
his crops, and thought he ran no risk in buy

expects TO continue in business, to he comptll-

the law may compel them TO make.
Self preservation financially is our only
excuse for the rigid course taken in pushing
