mind, to detect, if possible. the cir.
cumambient fiounderings OF said as
ISOLATION Of ideas revolving in a
vacuum whereby such an astounding
conclusion could be reached. 1t
would certainly cause all the bones
ofthe old logicians to rattle in their
graves.
The Citizen was equally unfortu-
nate in his application OF the fable of
the '.dog in the manger.' We think
it comes with an exceeding i'll grace
from any citizen Of Tama City to say
that Toledo will neither have rail
road herself nor let any one else have
one. This is too much like the thief
crying stop thief" Would not the
dog story apply with greater truth.
fulness to another locality, that sets
up the "howl of injunction" at every
effort of progress, and urges on her
small ours to snap and snarl and dis
play their cowardly nature, when out
OF harms way.
We are rejoiced to see the Citizen
endeavoring to unspike the cannon
himself had spiked, in reference to
the rival town at the junction. He
has made the discovery that his
double back action breech-loader
has unfortunately placed tie owner
hors du combat, SO, in his desperation,
he throws it aside, seizcs a bean
pole, and takes refuge under cover
of the Chicago & Northwestern Rail
Road, and exclaims, "no, there will
be no rival town-the Chicago q
Northwestern will not permit it,
And why not, pray? Is there suf-
ficient amount of stock in the hands
Of lama City capitalists to control
the Chicago & Northwestern road !?
We are inclined to think not, in view
of the assessors returns, (which see)
We think half million OF bushels Of
wheat in the elevators at Toledo, will
out weigh the slight amount of stock
controlled by the aforesaid capital
lists.
Regarding the plug the Citizen is
exceedingly oracular, and says, shat
if it is built, it will never be sustain
ed, and the money thus expended,
worse than thrown away" Well, if
so, the Citizen. together with all 9th.
err citizens of Tama, can console
themselves that none of the said
money came out Of their pockets.
But the winding up of the Citi-
zen's disclaimer, let's the cat com.
plctely out OF the bag, head, should
ers, caudal appendage and all. 1t
displays philosophical aeumen
found only in the school boys first
attempt at composition. We quote
it entire, that we may not be accused
OF mistat!ug the matter. He says:
1--WE repeat, that the only sure way
to secure the building of the n. & S.
road is for lama City aud Toledo to
act in harmony" and Immediately
adds, "many an enterprise has been
defeated by as slight causes in con-
junction with other instrumental
ties.' We think that If cause appar-
emily so small as the harmonious &C.
ton of lama City and Toledo, is
likely to produce such an untoward
effect as to defeat the road, its pro-
jectors may pray to be saved from
their friends and other instrum sntal-
tiles not laid down IN the bills.
Will the Citizen enlighten us as to
the "other lnstrumentalites"

Comfy Politics

Since we called attention TO the
above subject, few weeks ago, there
has been thinning out of the aspir-
ing ones. and'a sitting of the avaiIa-
bic ones, until now, the discussion OF
possibilities and probabilities is not
so uncertain a matter, as ut that time.
There has been, to our knowledg re,
no mention made of any one desire
Gus or desired, to enter the list as
candidate for the next Legislature in
opposition TO the general desiic man
Tested for the return of Hon. James
Wilson to that place. Though some
candidate may ARISE it is hardly prop
able that any will DO so. Mr.. Wilson's
four years of service in the Legisla-
ture, and his practical good sense in
legislation, has convinced his constit-
uen;s that they will honor them
selves and the state at large By his
denomination and reelection.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Clark, the
member of the Board of Supervisors,
whose term expires with the present
year, authorized the announcement
that he would not be candidate for
his own SUCCESSION. We learn, how
ever, that his many friends from all
parts OF the county are not disposed
to accept his declination hut are de-
terminel to urge his recollection.
What name may BE- brought against
hiswe do not know, rs all or nearly al
those mentioned By the REPUBLICAN
as talked OF have not thought 1t al
visable TO urge themselves or be urg-
ed by their friends, into the clnyas.
The candidates for Treasurer are
now reduced to three, each of whom
has peculiar claims and merits, and
will be strong in the coming contest.
The three are, Capt. L. Schatfer, A.
J. Wheaton. and j. IL. Struble-the
first the present incumbent, and the
other two former occupants of the
office for Which their friends are urg-
ing them.
The present Auditor, T. S. Free,
A. Ii. Lawrence and A. M. Staley,
are, so far as We have heard, the only
candidates for Auditor. The canvas
is already warm, and its thermal con-
dition promises increased altitude.
For the office OF Sheriff, the race is
open to ono of three contestants.
namely, X. Dexter, now holding that
office, S. NJ. Bartlett and J. II. Lau.
dcrdale. Whether or not the report
circulated be true that the two latter
are hunting in partnership, and only
fighting their common enemy, X. d.,
we do not know. At the present
outlook, only the coming convention
can determine who will be the next
Sheriff.
The candidates for County Super
intendent are Rev. II. A. Brown
and w. Z. Roberts.
We believe that the present Sur
veyor and Coroner will have no OBJ
position in their denomination, even
it they do in their reelection.
OF course some Of these candidates
have more merits than others, but
the Convention can hardly go amiss
IN selecting from among the number
those best qualified for the duties of
the offices they are selected to fill.

It's serious question with very
many OF the best citizens of Toledo,
whether the Council ought not to
prohibit the pasturlng Of cattle in the
streets. 1t is not enough that cattle
are restrained during the night, they
ought not to be allowed to defilc the
sidewalks during the day. All who
like clean sidewalks will rejoice to
have the Council abate one of che
greatest nuisanccs of the town.

What does the Law Say!
We publish the following extract
from sec. 3l3, OF the Revision OF 1860,
which we believe to be the law at
this time, at least we are unable to
find that 1t has been modified or re.
pealed.
"They, (the Board Of Supervisory
shall cause to be made out and pub.
lished Immediately after each regular
or special meeting Of the board, in at
least one newspaper il there be one

the Court House door, schedule OF
the receipts and expenditures Of the

of all claimants, the amount claimed, the
amount allowed, for what purpose
allowed, and fill statement OF the
amount of the Treasurer's accounts at
the last settlement as on has balance
SHEET or dccomt-carrent in making the
settlement"
We are not alone in noticing that
the Board Of Supervisors Of lama
County ignores two or three provis.
ions OF the section quoted. For this
action, or want Of action. the Board
has, doubtless good aud sufficient
reasons, not manifest to others. We
join with others IN suggesting that
such reasons be made public. The
use of our columns Is rendered for
that purpose.
