Res0loed, That we have reason to re-
greet our past action, on the part Of pro-
ducers and consumers through which ev-
cry department of the Government has
been permitted to fall under the control
of dishonest and designing men, resulting
not only in legislation oppressive to- the
people, and beneficial only to Rings"
"Monopolies," and few favored individ-
uals, but in a corruption so general as to
be national disgrace, and a menace to
our national liberty.
The above is one of the resolutions
passed by the anti-monopoly convention
last Saturday. If the regret expressed is,
as we suppose, Intended to have reference
to the failure Of the producers and con.
sumers heretofore to attend caucusses
and conventions, and thus exercise the
right and duty to dictate the nomination
of good men for public trusts, the resolu-
ton is very appropriate and significant.
There is no doubt that a great share of
the responsibility for corruption and in.
efficiency, wherever it exists, lies with
those who have evaded their duty in this
regard. We are glad to note the CLEAN
of sense in the resolutions of the convcn-
ton, Which this recognition Of Il previous
omission of duty indicates. But the logic
of the resolution is against a new party.
The plain way to apply the remedy is for
the people to take part more generally in
the nomination of candidates. A new
party every year, with the same omission
of duty, would work the same results as
those complained of.

BLOODY Row-Last Sunday, as officer
Gates was passing the Iowa House, near
the Central depot, a place of rather dis
orderly repute, kept by one Mrs. Cul-
kins, he saw the indications Of bloody
fight, just terminated between a couple of
railroad labOrers whose names were Nc
Gee and Jordan. In the performance
of his duty, Gates went to arrest the par
ties to the fight, but found the door of
the house closed against him. Demand
ing admittance III vain, he burst the
door, and entering, sliced MCGEE, intend
ing to carry him to Jail. He was set up.
on and INSTRUCTED however by Patrick
Mcdonald, who, with the assistance of the
landlady and McGee's wife, after lively
scuffie succeeded in wrestling the prisoner
from the grasp of the officer and hiding
him. Procuring assistance, Gates re-
turned to the charge, and forcibly took
possession of MCGEE and Mcdonald, Jor-
dan submitting without resistance.
The prisoners were lodged in jail, and
the next morning MCGEE and his antag-
onist were arraigned before the Mayor
and fined SIS each for fighting. Melon
aid was also brought before Esq. Lee, for
examination on charge, preferred by
Gates of resisting an officer. After a
lengthy trial, and any amount of hard
swearing in his behalf, Mcdonald was
held to bail In $500, to answer the charge
| at the next term of the District Court.

NORMAL INsTITUTE-The County Nor

THE editor of the Conservative having
embarked in the "reform" business, is
wont in conversation upon the street and
elsewhere, to affirm with some vehe-
mence that he is no longer Democrat.
But Us he has never publicly or privately
rccanted what he used to dignity with
the name of Democratic principles, and
as he is in his paper peculiarly tender
and consideratc of the Democrats Ia ma
jority of the party in Congress who vo-
ted for the Salary steal, never mention
ing one by name, while he keeps Ben
Butler and Senator Carpenter dancing
like puppets by his weakly pricking; we
say, considering these things, the prob
ability is that his is case of reformation
without repentance, kind Of article
which we have holy warrant for pro-
nouncing of spurious character. He is no
longer Democrat, because there is, as he
imagines, wood chuck in the "anti-mO.
nopoly' hole, and he is out Of meat. He
is in the market, but the market is slow
for that kind Of game. He is literally
following the advice Of Judge Thayer,
of the Clinton Age, quoted on the second
Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1873-07-25

page; placing himself where he ''can do
the most good"-for his own pocket. He
is skulking around the outposts, in light
marching equipment, (mighty light at
any time,) hoping to bushwhack tax
list or smaller game, relying upon his ia
cilitY in lodging, and the absence o.
baggage, to get back into the old camp
when the present venture miscarries.
Meanwhile, the old heads of the Dem
ocratic party, the men who furnish brains
for the Conservative, when such On ar
ticle is deemed requisite in its manage
ment, (which is not often,) still hold to
the old party name, contenting them
selves with dancing this puppct in the
eyes Of the Republican reformers, tricked
out in new suit of anti.monopoly shod-
dy. The strings which manipulate the
figure are clumsily handled, and lead to
well known Democratic hands. The pco-
pie begin to see through the trick, and
before election will cover the performed
and performers with confusion.
