The Independence Bulletin, here
tofore an earnest supporter of VIM.
b, Allison, and o bitter opponent OF
Mr.. Harlan, while it cannot endorse
the latter gentleman, has this signif-
icant paragraph in its issue of last
week:
From the above may be gathered
our estimate of Mr. Harlan's integri-
ty. 1t has not been hastily formed,
nor is il Influenced by any predelic.
tons we may entertain for n rival
candidate for Senator. Indeed, ow-
ing to recent unpleasant revelations,
We have practically little interest in
the Senatorial issue as represented
by the two prominent candidates,
and could wish that Iowa should be
more fifty represented in the Senate
than will be the case with either.
The above is certainly significant,
We could not expect the Bulletin to
endorse Mr.. Harlan, but that MI.
AllisoB should lose one of his most
active and able endorsers from that
quarter Is somewhat Unexpected
Tue unpleasant revelations referred
to we presume are the developments
of the chicanary of the railroad ring
to carry Mr.. Allison's election.

McCREERY, assistant editor of the
Dubuque Times, comes out with a
lengthy explanation of his con-
nection with the ISLANDERS against
Senator Harlan. He proves him
self (?) as Innocent as a lamb, and
we, sinners to the extent of thirty
scathing and unprovoked falshoods.
We like Mes explanation very well
except that he assumes too much and
makes himself out a much greater
man than anyone is willing to give
him credit for. We didn't speak of
him as the head center of these wills
famous outrages against Mr.. Harlan
but only as the instrument in the
hands Of others. His presumption
of having so much influence in the
newspaper field is ludicrous in the
extreme.

2. If our silence on the Senatorial
question was construed into an en-
dorsement of Mr.. Allison we cannot

that the discussion of the Senatorial
question so early in the anvac was
unwise and against the best interests

Rapid Reduction.

The Report of the Secretary Of war,
Belknap, which is before us shows
a gradual and agreat reduction in
the expenditures of the Government
military service. For the fiscal year
ending June 30th, 1869, they were
over eighty and ii half millions of
dollars; 1870, over fifty-seven aud a
half millions. For the next fiscal
year the appropriations amount to a
little over thirty-siX ard a half mill
ioRs, and the estimates for 1878 are
less than thirty two aud a half mill
lions. These include the cost of river
and ha<bor improvements. Thus it
lis shown that the reduction in ex.
penses in tie War Department dur
ing the year lS69.70 amounted to
nearly twenty-thsee millions of dol
lars, and during the yearl SOL there
was q further reduction of over.
seventeen and O half millions. while
the subsequent appropriations and
estimates point to u continued de-
tcrease i'm the expenses.

Cedar Falls gazette. [volume] (Cedar Falls, Iowa) 1860-1895, 1871-12-22

The Waterloo Courier of last week
makes out to he one of the most
scurrillous sheets. on record. On the
Senatorial question it hasn't a line
of argument. Every man that does
not think that Allison is the bully
boy comes in for a share of Bro.
Woodruf's ''hiferlutin" and abuse.
1t tries to bolster up Mr.. Allison's
mediocre by attempting to minify
the standing and ability of Mr.. Har-
Ian. He has used harsh words
to V up many a good thing he
hRs said of MI. Harlan In the past
and his late partner is the authority
for the statement that Bro. Wood
ruff is to-day a Hasian man at heart.

"In the early history Of the Rep

Then are we to understand that an

that he Is not needed now. Surely

The Government Building in Chicago

The House on Friday, after a brief
debate, passed the bill for a new gov
eminent building for Chicago, and
appropriating 81, 000, 900, except an
amendment, which was agreed to,
requiring Illinois TO cede jurisdic-
ton yer the land to be bought to
the United States. Randall, of
Pennsylvania, and Holman, of Indi-
ana, sought to reduce the amount,
but the rest of the Democratic side
came up to the support of the bill,
and it was passed by i42 to %, with.
out the yeas and nays. The remarks
of Dawes, Swami, Voorhees,, Banks
and Garfield were eloquent compli.
ments to the vigor and enterprise of
Chicago, and the sentiment that a
government building should be erect
ed there to be worthy Of Chicago, as
we'll as the Government, was hearth
ly endorsed. The bill will probably
pass the Senate IN Monnay,--Du,

The Shady-Side, of Keosaqua, says:
"The Senatorial war is still raging.
The opponents of Harlan have a
powerful ally in the Cincinnati Ca
zette. Nearly all the ammunition of
late, it seems, is furnished them by
the Gazette. The warfare bitter at
the start, has assumed a degree of
malignity scarcely paralleled in a
canvass of like character. There is
not much prospect of u cessation
before the question is determined by
the Legislature. After the contest
is closed the charges against Harlan
will fall to the ground as empty
nothings, and many will very prob
ably be surprised at themselves that
they eve gave them countenance.-
But until then they will listen to no
defence, but heedlessly go on rehash-
ing and putting forth charges that
have been refuted time and again"
