t- The Usage Mission Journal says that Perry u. Mar
tin who published the Anti Nonopo at that place has
lately fallen heir fortune of 100000 and is building
fine mansion near burlington, Iowa
Thus the great cause looses another champion.
As general rule, it is dcad-beats, who are too
lazy or worthless to accumulate property of their
own, who are noisiest in their cry for Labor Re-
form and against Monopolies If, by some sad
mischance, they become possessed of wealth which
they never earned, they become the most odions
aristocrats and monopolists to be found. If the
above item he true, PERRY D. MARTINS song will
cease, and he will, in short time, so conduct HIM
self as to be heartily despised by every laboring
man with whom he has any dealings.

Information Furnished.

The editor of the Doniphan Democrat says thar,
heing stranger here. he world like to be posted
upon Radical stealing in Doniphan County. We
can post him on shout all the stealing Of any ac-
count that has been done here, but it does not
happen to have been Radical stealing. 1t was
about the year 1870, when the Democracy were
last in power nj the County. The Commissioners
were woap, GABBERT and WHITEHEAD, all of whom
found it convenient to leave the County, on ac-
count of their disloyalty. There was also man
in the County named HEED-"Captain HEED
who likewise emigrated to save bis Peif. lie was
of the same piece of timber, and went to the same
place. as the ROBERT s. KELLY, whom you puffed
90 highly last week. These Democratic Commits
sioners undertook to build Court House and
Jail, and HEED was the contractor They built
the old cheese factory that was burnt down a few
years ago, and had to be propped mp before it
burnt down. 1t was worth about s2,g0, at a high
estimate, but cost the County from $4,000 to
SIS 600, and was the foundation of the debt under
which we have ever since been laboring. During
that administration, County scrip brought the
enormous figure of 20 to IS cents on the dollar.
That is about the only steal of any consequence
we know Of However, we ought SO include some
thousands Of dollars Of county money, IoT iahus
sold, which was loaned ont to leading Democrats
of the County, and never paid back. The Repub-
lcans might have managed some things better
than they did; but we can think of but one act,
inst now, that deserves to be called steal. One
Of your right bowers there in Doniphan, (whom
we voted to enfranchise, last Winter,) held con-
siderable amount of County scrip. During the
war, while in the brush, bushwhacking Union
men, he lost this scrip; and after his return, he
had the impudence to apply to the County Board
for duplicate scrip. For some unaccountable rea-
son, which has never been explained, the Board
allowed his demand. That ought to he called
stealing.
There is another species Of stealing 1t is when
men worth many thousands of dollars give in an
insignificant sum to the assessor, and swear to il,
and thus avoid paying their just proportion of
taxes. Some of your particular friends have been
doing that. We always like to enlighten "a stran
ger among strangers;' = and if you want some of
this sort of items, can accommodate you.
When you wake up, next month, let us hear from
YOU.

Some time since, in conversation with our neigh
Dor of the Democrat. we advised him, as Demo
cratic journalist, to publicly denounce the Rulo
Register as a sheet alike disgracefnl TO his party
and humanity, a paper so obscene, lewd, foul and
impure rs to le loathsome to the touch and often
sive to the eye of every man not a born black
guard and to recommend his fellow journalists to
strike the name of the putrid organ from off their
exchange lists. He heartily endorsed our judge
ment Of the Registcv, and confessed that his feel
ings had been shocked on reading the atrocious
vulgnrsms appearing in that sheet, but has failed
to take our advce as to his duty in the premises.
To-day we erase the name of the obscene thing
from off hooks, and Trust that the managers Of
every paper in the State, Republican and Demo-
cratic alike, will do the same. thus rebuking the
leprous and lecherous specimen of Darwin's
missing link, who recklessly and shamelessly
disporfs his wanton hidecusness every week
through the columns of the Ruio Rsgisfer. What

The Emporia Tribune contains the following
editorial:
Let the people remember it and let not Demo-
eracy forget it, that the debt of the United States
during President Grants administration has been
decreased in manner rapid that no parallel in
the financial history of any other nation be fur
nished. At the same time the burden of taxation
has been alleviated. Let it also be borne in mind
that while these happy financial results have been
accomplished by an honest Republican admins
tratiOn, wherever Democracy has held sway
exhibition of most astounding fraud and corrup-
tion has invariably been furnished Ponder these
facts, and then determine which party you would
have rule the country in the future.
