what we saw and heard of these parties

MIR. EDIToR:-You were right, in say
ing in your last issue, that it was deter
mined to discontinue the advertisement
of Lawton Bros. & Post But hereafter
we would be pleased to have little differ
ent phraseology used or else add that it
was withdrawn only to put in something
else Yes sir, The New York Store IS
peculiar house and we trust you will learn
as others have, wherein it is so.
For your benefit we will state that some
of its pecularities are: that it does not
claim to be any other than the New
York Storc;" That it does not buy it's goods
by being in the market only few days
or ordering, and SO let the jobbers send
forward old styles (by not knowing the
styles or good bargains) and charge high
prices. That it does not put on an easy
cash buyer large profit, in order to
make up for lost accounts on the books
Other peculiaritics arc that it sells goods
for cash and thus saves a large percent
age to the cash buyer; That it constant
" receives fresh goods from the senior
partner, who remains in the east buying
for cash, and in lots to suit the western
trade.
A very striking popularity is that these
goods are purchased so as to be sold for
less than home merchants havo to pay.
Yes, Mr. Editor you are correct, the New
York Store is certainly peculiar house.
But hereafter you will confer a favor in
making statements to give ''thc cause
why's and whercfores."
LAwToN Bros & Posi-:
Genttemen:-What's the
matter? What's up? Don't get excited
because you are selling all the goods in
the country, Don't get on your high
horse The notice you refer to was put
in, not that people should think we were
going to deprive you of our columns but
that they should notice and appreciate
your advertisements, which are creating
nearly as great an excitement as your sell
ing goods SO cheap. Yes; you're all right,
you go at business in the right way and
people are finding it out. We like the
way your store speculiar. You say you
don't claim to be any other than the New
York Store We see the point ofthat and
think ourselves that it is beneath the po
sition of a gentleman to take advantage
of your advertisement and claim to be
the New York Store. Such things tell in
time and they will be the losers there

THE Cedar Falls Gazette IS decidedly
putting on airs. Snyder informs us IN
his last issue that he has just returned
from Chicago. where he bought brand
new Potter Power Press for his paper.
That does us good. First, we are glad
to see our ncighbors getting rich, and
next, we arc fortified in the hope that
now that lightning has got to striking so
close around us, the next flash may light
on our devoted head. 'Kin We sleep

THE Independence BULLETIN records
that five business houses in that CITY were
entered by burglars on one night. Bust
ness having been pretty good through the
day for that town, the rascals got nearly
fifty dollars Waterloo Reporter.
The above slur upon the trade of our
city we find in the Waterloo Reporter of
this week. It's exceeding bad taste, be-
sides its injustice, leads us to infer that
it crept into the columns of the Reporter
without the cognizance of the responsible
head of the concern. We have never
classed that paper among the sncaking,
insinuating, irresponsible journals who
convey by sheer or innuendo what they
burst not express in holder terms, and
are accordingly surprised that it should
contain the above covert depreciation of
neighbor. Whether the business of In
dependence be much or little, fling at it
from paper whose proprietors are so
often seen in it's streets and offices solic
iting patronage, is in especial bad taste.
We wish to improve this occasion to
have little talk with our business men,
1t lie more than likely that the writer of
the above squib derived his estimate OF
the business of our city, not from actual
contact with it, but from the advertising
columns of our papers. Strangers often
have no other means Of Judging of the
business of a town, and they decide at
once if the advertising columns of the pa
pers are scant and lean, that there Is lit
tie business in the town worth advertising,
and as general rule this judgment void
be correct. 1t is not correct in our case.
There is probably nearly if not quite as
much trade here as at other towns of the
same population. If there is not quite as
much, and more, it is not the fault of our
facilities for trade, but that of our bust
ness men in not noising abroad their adj
vantages. just look at the situation.
Fully one-half of our merchants do not
advertise at all, and among these are
some who aspire to be called the heaviest
houses They have the goods, in large
quantity and variety They have the
facilities for furnishing good bargains,
but they are studiously keeping these
facts as secrets from the public.
Is 1T any wonder that men at a distance,
in looking over the columns of the Bull
LETIN and Conservative with their mcagre
array of home advertisements should de-
rive a paltry opinion of our city? This
is not the first disparagement of onr i'm
portance as business point which has
come to our ears, based upon the failure
of our business men to improve their OPP
portunitics. Compared with Waterloo,
Cedar Falls, Fort Dodge, &c, the amount
of home advertising in our papers is
less than half that of papers in those
towns We sincerely believe that the
trade of our merchants would be largely
enhanced by liberal and judicious adver-
Using, and in the interest of our dealers
as well as of our own, we would like to
see little more enterprise in this direc-
ton. We do not urge the duty of lib
cral support to home papers for the rea-
son that we deem the argument of
interest broad enough and strong enough
if rightly viewed to cover the whole
ground.

BABY's RIGHTs.-Among the most in
alienable of these in this day and genera
ton, is the right to one Of these splendid
Perambulators, or baby carriages, Sc
lcct stock of which has just been received
by Sampson, at the Bazaar. They are
the completcst thing in the line of Lilli-
putian travelling comforts which has yet
been brought to this city. Seated in one
of these easy going vehicles, superb with
varnish, shining leather and plated trim
mings with attentive and watchful Nurse
or Mamma as motive power, young Mas
ter or Miss Hopeful can take his or her
airing in style not to be outdonc by the
turn out of millionaire. Sampson has
several styles and prices Of these indis-
pensible adjuncts of baby comfort and
health, but the stock cannot last long.
Go soon or they are gone. If babies were
not the most patient of mortals they
would lay awake nights and never cease
to clamor, until the indefeasible right to
q coach was granted them.

When the Dubuque Telegraph says that
protectionists are opposed to home labor
it knows it deliberately utters false
hood.
The above concise and convenient meth
cd Of demolishing the argument Of an adj
ycrsary, is from the Wdukon STANDARD,
the editor of which is a clergyman in
good standing. Such argument may be
appropriate in the domain of polemics,
but it is not considered in good taste in
political discussion. Bro. Mays excuse,
however, may be found in the fact that
his habits of expression were contracted
in the former field.

SOME MORE CRITICISM Indepen.
dence Bulletin will please consult late
copies of the West Union Gazette and Ell
kadcr Journal for opinions regarding the
post office removal at McGregor We
have no design Of raising a muss, neither
do we wish to injure Mr. Donnan, to
whom we are very friendly, and from
whom we expect brilliant record. The
point we raise is that the removal was
premature, uncalled for, undcservcd, and
liable to injure Mr.. Donnan as well. Our
Congressman is young in experience, and
if we are not mistaken will prefer a little
sharp criticism while the matter is fresh
than to know that part of his constituent
cy are suking in secret and waiting to
stab him in the back at the first opportu-
nifty We drop the matter here, and if
we find we have been wrong we will not
hesitate to say so.-Manchester Union.
The Un,o,a neither in its former article
mr. in the above from this weeks issue,
having produced any reasons specc'hca-
tions or proofs calculated to give weight
to the assertion that "thc removal was
premature, uncallcd for and undeservcd,'
and furthermore, 1t plainly appearing that
the linton is talking about o transaction
concerning the details Of which it has a
very imperfect knowledge, we raise the
point that its opinion in this case though
possibly honest is not hefty. Again we
wish to suggest that in ordinary cases OF
this kind, criticism whether sharp" or
blunt is not appropriate except by par

THE WHALING FLEET in the Arctic seas has
met with great disaster. In September last,
while chasing an immense school of whales
beyond Cape Behring, the feet was hemmed
in by ice foes, some Of the vessels being sunk
at once or driven ashore. Finding their lives
in imminent peril the captains concluded to
abandon all the vessels most dangerously situ-
ated and betake themselves to those that bad
chance Of getting out safely. This they did,
and arrived at Honolulu safe. The number Of
whalers lost is thirty three.

must awake our Judgment, realize the dclusion
to which we have so long been victims, ignore
party politics as qualification for Office,
remit the trading politicians to honest indus
trial pursuits, and select as candidates for
onicc only men Of good standing and repute in
the community. When the necessity Of this
course becomes manifest to our decent and
respectable citizens (and we hope they are in
= majority in this and every community the
mode Of putting 1t into operation will be found
easy and simple enough. When It is found
and practised, then, and not before, we may
hope to see our municipal, State and national
affairs administered with the same honesty
and ability that distinguish our people in
carrying on commercial, manufacturing and
financial enterprise.

THE SUPERIOR CoURT.-Judge Spencer,
who is renominated for the Superior Court, is
one of the few judicial officers who ''cannot
be spared" from the Bench. Succeeding one
Of the ablest aud most popular judges ever
in that Court, he has fully justified
the expectations Of those who were aware of
his high qualifications for the Office, and
has satisfactorily filed the place of Judge
Robertson. As lawyer Judge Spencer has
long been distinguished in this oity and in
Northern New York. and since his elevation
to the Bench his reputation has largely in
creased, from the dignity and courtesy
with which he presides over his Court
as well as from The legal acumen
and fine intellect displayed in his
rulings and decisions. 1t is libel on the
name Of reform when men who profess to have
the good Of the community at heart fail to do
honor to distinguished ability, integrity and
independence in the judiciary by uniting in
the support of such nomination as that Of
Judge Spencer. Not ballot should be cast
against such candidate.

Mn. TwEEDs CLOSING CAMPAIGN Speech
to his constituents, at the Walton House,
Grand street, on Saturday night last, was a
model of its kind. He makes bis cause the
cause of bis constituents. He tells them that
he and they are in the same boat He has no
favors to ask Of his accusers. He made q
good hit with certain quotations from "a
morning paper claiming to be democratic, !"
charging that 'the Fourth (SenatoriaD dis
trict is the most loathsome political scab on
the United States;" that, with few exceptions,
sit is not the residence of people who have
any regard for the decences of life, but that
''the very dregs and scum Of our population,
the offscourings of this country and all others,
inhabit it." True or false, ''ths Boss" turned
this indictment Of his friends to Q good ac-
count with the mass meeting concerned, in
making his cause their cause But in closing
his capital electioueering appeal the enthu-
siastic orator made one promise which We are
afraid, when put to the trial, will not be found
freproof. He said :-s'Rest assured that all
the ante-election charges that have been made
against me will dissolve as dew before the
rising sun when they are subjected to the
calm, dispassionate, impartial investigation Of
the courts of law" We suspect that before
the courts these charges will not dissolve
like the dew before the rising SUM-" but will
be apt to harden into stone walls and iron
portals Aud yet why, in these times Of gen.
eral corruption and demoralization-why may

nothing 10 ten years be as bold, defiant and
confident as the third Napoleon in his march
