Mr. Mylo Lee t''uks our notice Of the
suit against him was one-sided He says
although it was in evidence on the part Of
the plaintiff, that the boxes were marked,
it was also testified to by a greater number
of witnesses, on the part OF the defense
that they were not marked, and that he
personally knows they we're not marked
He says he did not know to whom they
belonged, bur when asked if he took any
measures To ascertain their ownership, he
admitted tina, he did not lie ays that
he broke open the boxes, but denies that
he had anything 10 do with throwing them
out Of the building. He also says that, in
his opinion, they possessed no value what
ever and that if they did POSSESS any val
ne Mr.. Thomas is not injured for he Sc
cured and saved all that could be regarded
as valuable. We are willing to give Mr.
Lee the benefit of his side Of the case. but
the whole thing looks like a piece Of spite
work II certainly would not have been q
difficult thing to learn who owned the
boxes and given alittlc time for their re
moval But the case is not one in which
the public generally are interested. and
having given both sides of it, we propose
to let il drop right here

A RIGHT MOVE,

A Farmers Convention composed Of
Republicans, Democrats and Liberals was
recently held in Washington. Ia. to nom
mate candidates for the Legislature and
county officers. The candidates whom
they named are required ia accepting the
nomination, to abandon all former political
couucctions,audt profess allegiance hence
forth only to the interests Of the farmers
and w0rkiug-men This is tno right GROUND
for the farmers and working men 70 take.
The movement in favor of free and UNI
tramelcd commerce and farmers rights
will not produce any substantial good to
them until they abandon all present politi-
cal organizations any appeal to the ballot
box on every occasion. They never can
get our government back to the honest,
plain and frugal ways Of our ANCESTORS IN
til they take possession Ok it themselves.
Extravaganza and corruption peryades
every branch of the government, County,
State, and United States The farmers
must rise superior to all old parties and
take the government into their own hands,
or become the hewers of wood and drawers
Of water for the corruption and monopoly
classes The war between the two has
commenced and it must go OH until justice
shall be done 10 labor as well as capital, Or
until capital shall rule supreme.

On Wednesday night, THE llth, Billy
Boehme, livery man, of this city, went
over the river with one Of his teams On
returning it is alleged that lac was intoxi-
Gated and at the Rock Island bridge, got
into an alteration with the guard and
drew a pistol on him. lie was seized and
taken to the guard house. Yesterday the
18th he was admitted to bail in the sum
of $500, and to-day the 18Th he was az
raigued before L. S. Comr Brown, Of
Davenport, charged with assault with in
tent % murder
The case is being argued Is we go to
press
We trust that there will be no hesita-
ton about enforcing the law, rigidly, upon
all who violate the rules II is for the in
terest Of all good citizens to strictly obey
the rules established at the Arsenal, and
to aid the authorities in enforcing them
Unless this shall be done everybody will
be excluded from the grounds.
1t is no excuse for any man that he was
drunk. All people should be held respon-
sible when sober, for what they do when
drunk and we cannot too highly com
mend Col Flagler for rigidly enforcing the
very proper rules established by the Secre-
tary Of War.
OF course we regret that Mr. Boehme
must be punished, for he is a clever and
when sober well behaved man. But
these facts cannot be pleaded as an excuse
for his acts. He, well as worst offenders
must be taught obedience to the rules Of
bepunishcd and excluded from the grounds
