1t is evident to all thougitfnl individuals, no
difference what party faith they Possess, that pO-
litical campaigns Of thefhture must deal with new
problems. Subjects intimately associated with the
progress Of the Nation aud the welfare Of the
whole people will enlist the attention Of all par
ties and il seems most likely that q better class
of public servants will be called out to deal with
the new problems.
II the people expect to get the standard Of pO-
itiUal Integrity aud ability any higher than it is
now, they must begin the work Of reform at the
very foundation. 1t is not enough that We have
new men to fill our Offices; we want better men.
Let voters resolutely resolve to rcpudiate every
man who goes about the country spending few
dollars here and there TO gain friend in the Leg
islature or Convention. Let every politician who
buys into newspaper Office, directly or indirect
", just preceding political CANVASS, lie looked
upon with suspicion. Let . man who neglects
his every day duties to "work mp strength" and
make combinations. be discounteDanced. The
whole burden of reform rests with the voter
There are men in every community who accept
dollars for their votes and Influence; but the ma
iority of voters will not sell their franchise
Hence it is . plain dutyfo resist the election Of
. man who accepts it. The people should not he
content with the single qualification Of honesty
in their servants. Men are sometimes honest only
because they have not sense enough tn steal.
There are living illustrations Of this truism in
Kansas to-day. The employment Of the best in

Marshal Hale received word from Kansas that
the old man in Jail here is not Bender, although
there is q close similarity between the two men.
This we must say is little strange, rs the pris-
oner here who calls himself Henry Cephas, hen
questioned closely, says that he has lived in
Kansas; has a farm and orchard there; has a
daughter named Kate who could make tho tables
dance; that the whole family were spiritualists I;
that he knows the neighbors living around the
Bender place, the names Of several Of whom he
mentioned to Mr. Hazen, of Kansas, who is ac-
quainted with the persons he named. He also
states that Kate had taken So 600 or $4,000 of his
money, and left him Penniless; that he was Of
low Dutch descent, etc. The description, too,
given Of the man Bender, accurately fits this
man CePhas. He is slightly bald; his hair and
walk, and down-cast, sleepy appearance, is like
cultural sound of his voice, and broken language
are also in accordance with the description Of
Bender. His contradictory statements, too, are
unaccOuntable. He told us that he came from
the old country five years ago; that he lived two
years in Indiana and four years on q farm near
st. Louis: fifteen years after which he went to
Minnesota, where he spent four years on q farm,
after which he emigrated to Kansas, spending
four years there a. Q soldier; making the whole
time he has been in this country, according to
his detailed statements, % years. One day he
ssys he has . wife and children, the next day
that he WAS never married and has no children.
Altogether, Cephas is . mystery, yet he refuses
to give an intelligent account of himself He
says he is satisfied here in Jail, and that he don't
want to leave it until his feet healed up. The
question now is, who is Cephas and where does
he belong Cedar Rapids (Ioca) R,psblioas.

those who witnessed the game in this County,

to control the elections, and buy mp delegates
elected ON the other side; and this money Was
known to have come from Pomcroy. And then,
