SAMUEL PAR ks.

WE place at the head Of our col
umns the name Of Samuel Parks, as
the Republican candidate for super
intendent Of Schools in iowa Coun-
tv. Mr.. Parks needs no newspaper
Introduction to the people OF the
County. He is known to the remot-
est parts; having in performing so
faithfully, in past years, the duties
Of County Superintendent, visited,
frequently, every school district, and
made the acquaintance of teachers,
school officers, parents and children.
1t is safe to say that under Mr..
Parks superintendent, the public
schools Of the County have advanc-
ed. and been elevated more rapidly
than they ever did prior to his cleo
ton. His whole life has been spent
in the educational profession; which
bis peculiarly ahable disposition,
and high moral character, so well
adapt him. OF his qualifications IN
the matter Of learning, there is no
need of assurance; his great success
in the office Of Superintendent and
his State wide reputation, as one Of
the best officers Of his class are the
strongest testimonials Of his ability,
Mr.. Parks will be reelected, by a
handsome majority. Every Repob-
lican and many democrats will vote
for him; and cur public schools will
be secured prosperity under his eff
ficient, energetic superintendent,
for the next two years.

THE Indications of war in Europe
in which Russia will combine with
France against Prussia, Austria. and
Italy, are every day growing stronger.
The recent decree by which all priviI.
eyes extended to German coIonists in
Russia have been revoked is but an item
in the preparation. The idea Of Ger,
man unity Is evidently regarded as
equivalent to German supremacy, aud
this is Inconsistent with the national
equality Of Russia and France. This
German supremacy includes the main.
touauce Of the Turkish Empire as a
curb on Russia, and as a tributary Of
Germany, and against this Russia pro.
tests. France naturally .looks for re-
vcnge upon Prussia and her allies, and
the recovery Of her lost provinces, and
thus daily the small cloud Of war in
Europe is growing larger

JAMES Ie. DOOLITrLG AND THE
DENOCRATiC STATE TICKET.

II the Democratic State Conycn-
ton had desired to crafty the Re
publican party Of Wisconsln,lt could
not have done 50 more ctlcctually
than to nominate James r. Doolit-
tie for Governor. If there is one
man in the Democratic party OF the
State especially obnoxious to Rcpub-
licans, that man is james L, Doolit.
tie. If the nomination Of any man
nv the Democrats would bring out,
more than another, the Republican
strength, the nomination of James
IL. Doolittle will do it. If there is
Democrat in the State whose de-
feat would be especially agreeable
- Republicans, that man is James
Il. DooIittlc. Reasoning thus, Re
publicans rejoice and are glad that
Doolittlc is nominated. They re.
joicc that an opportunity is present
cd them of showing to the great
apostatc that they can punish rs
promptly" as they "pay;' and
quito as literally.
The Chicago Times has clear

March %, 1871.

STATES & UNIoN.-A large num-
Der OF reports on bills and resolutions,
have been made by committees this
week-some favorable, and many for
indefinite postponcment.
The appropriation bill will be before
the House in a few days. The aggre-
gate amount of appropriations, as the
bill now stands, is $4,000. 600. This
amount will be increased rather than
diminished.
The Grand Levy will not be quite
so high as last year, for the reason
that one hundred and forty thousand
dollars is due from the General Gov
ernment, and will be certified into the
State Treasury. The rate per cent
for State purposes, will be two and
nine-tenths mills. The rate for local
purposes, will be regulated by the
County and Township officers.
The Ditch bill is a revision of al
tho LAWS on that subject, with some
very good amendments. 1t require:
estimates to be made of the work, and
in no case shall the letting of the worl
exceed twenty per centum of the est
mates.
1t may be important 20 Probate
Judges and Assessors to know that {
law has been passed requiring the
Assessors to report TO the Probate
Judge the number of births and death:
under oath in their respective town
ships, and the county Auditors are
authorized to refuse a certificate for pay
until this duty is performed.
The House passed a bill forbidine
Boards of Education to change tex.
books in schools more frequently thar
once in three years, and then only
upon six months notice. This vii
put a check upon school-book specu
l~ation, and stop off the trash frequent
ly imposed upon the people.
Chase's Fast Freight bill has been
favorably reported on by the commit
tee, and will probably become a law.
Something of the kind is needed to
compel railroad companies to deal
honestly with the people on freights

DREADFUL.

The Ohio State Journal is in a fear
full way. It predicts a multitude of
horrors if the Democratic party should
be successful in 1872. Hear it
"Is it not the very madness of hair
Drained folly to take unnecessary risks
where the stake is so great ? Can
we afford to play with this frightful
danger as a child does with soap-bub-
bles, on the heels of the bitter exper-
fence so recently acquired? Must the
heroism Of our living and dead soldiers,
and thu anguish of the widows and the
~fatherless, go for nothing2 Shall we
go soon forget the agony which has
wung sweat as great drops of blood
from the brows of a million Of our suf
fering countrymen and women? ?"
o, dear. what can the. matter be?-
The Democratic party governed the
country wisely and well for over sixty
years ; carried ie successfully through
two wars, while commerce and agri-
cultural prosperity blessed the people.
No man suffered In his liberties. The
country grew from thirteen feeble
States to a Republic of thirty one
powerful and thrifty States, moving
like the spheres tremendously in the
grand march OF Improvement, pros
perity aud liberty. Ten years ago the
Radical party got possession of the
government. Unless than three months
It provoked a gigantic war costing tens
of thousands of lives, and thousands
of millions of dollars ! That same
party is to-day doing its level best to
provoke another civil war, to retain
power. The people see il, and are
bound to kick the true traitors from
power. Keep your under garments on.

For a flannel sAirt they pay a duty
of 65 per cent.
For a pair of Ps~ntsloons, cont and
vest they pay tine Yankee a duty of 60
per cent.
For stockings, they pay "a duty OF
75 per cent. For a hat 20 per cent.
For boots, 35 Per cent. For a plate,
to eat a plain breakfast on, a duty of
IS per cent For salt, l05 per cent.
For pepper, 100 per cent.
After having eaten his breakfast,
the farmer goes into the field with a
pillow upon which he pays a dizzy of As
per cent. An ax and scythe upon
which he pays a duty of 10 per mt
"a hoc-chains, and harrow teeth,
paying a similar duty.
In the generosity of his heart he
purchases his wife a wooden dress, up
on which he pays q duty OF 1e9 per
cent-a shawl, with n dety Of 200
per cent.-gloves, with a duty of so
per cent,-pins, with q duty of 80 per
cent.-starch. with with a duty of so
per ccnt.-knives and forks, with a
duty of 35 per cent.-an umbrella,
with a duty of 60 per cent!
Why all this? 1t is done 10 build
up Yankee monopolies and the con
sumner pays it Who are the consum-
ers? The people of the West. This
tariff is added to the price of the goods.
So that, by reason Of protection, the
farme rs and mechanics are compelled
to toll two hours longer every day to
pay from 30 TO 200 per cent more,
for their goods than il there was no
protective tariff. The tariff increases
the price of goods, because the retail
merchant adds the duty to indemnify
himself. The people, then, pay the
duty, instead OF the monopolist. How
long can you stand such taxation and
such duties2

GOVERNOR.

The Ohio State Journal comments
thus on the prospects ofthe candidates
of its party, for Governor:
We have interviewed some of the
leading politicians on the subject of
Governor. We find a strong feeling
in favor of Galloway. If no back
ward eddy sets in, Galloway will be
dominated by reclamation. We are
for Galloway
We learn also that the fires burn
brightly for Noyes, and Noyes is sure
to be nominated on the first ballot. =
Noyes is such a ringing speaker. We
are for Noyes.
1t seems also that there is a pious
element of the party at work for old
Ben Wade, and the old War Horse is
likely to walk owe the course, head
and tail up. There will be no oppo-
We are for Wade
In order to conciliate the pig iron
region, it is deemed indispensable that
William Dennison should be nominated
for Governor. William is what may
be termed a progressive protectionist,
and he will suit people all over the
State. Everybody is going for Den
nison, and he is the strongest candi-
date now before the people. We must
bring out our strong men, and Dcnni-
son is eminently strong-a man OF
more than National reputation. He
will carry the Convention with a
whirl. We are Tor Dennison.
We cannot excuse Garfield. Gar
field will carry the State by ten thous-
and more votes than any other candi-
date whose name has been mentioned
in connection with the nomination.
The Opera House couldn't hold its
roof on if all the delegates who are in
favor Of Garfield would yell at once.
We are for Garfield.
We havn't gathered as much relia
BILE news before in a month.
The Democracy will fix the matter
for you. The Republican party does not
stand a ghost of a chance of electing
a Govcrnor. You might as well give
it up in time.

remark: athat if Democratic Presi-

No one doubts that Grant will keep

firm the nomination. Forney has long
hankered after a Cabinet position or
a Senatorship, but knowing either i'm
possible just now, and the prospect
darker in the future, he has wisely
consented to make a few thousands
out of the party he has served so.well,

that Radicalism will be in a short
