THE STATE JOURNAL FOR 1874.

The coming session OF the XIV. General Assem-
bly, Of Iowa will be one Of the most important
ever held in the State. The House is known to
be hostile to railroad encroachmcnts, while the
Senate is more equally divided in sentiment. The
State Grange at its recent session demanded first,
wise, just freight and passenger tariff one which
will on the one hand work fall and exact justice
to the men who have honestly invested their mo-
ney in railroad property, and to the public who
patronze them.
This will be the keynote OF the battle. The
railroads are even now mastering strong lobby,
and the war will be waged 90 the bitter ond. But
the people must triumph in the end, and every
Iowa reader Is interested in watching the contest.
The State Journal, the leading paper published at
Des Moines. will give full end reliable reports OF
the proceedings, compiled by short hand repor-
tiers. In addition to this, the Journal is the hest
paper for State news, while large share Of Its
space is devoted to the farm, orchard and house.
hold. Its correspondents are in every county in
Iowa, and this winter two able writer's will con

book OF 100 pages, will be furnished at &9a year.

pr,pnr .ny-The VILLAGE Of Hazleton

BURGLARY. village of Hazleton,
in this county, ten miles north of this
city had genuine sensation last Satur.
day morning, in the discovery that dur
ing the night before, burglars had "gone
through" the Post, office and one of the
stores of the town. 1t appears that the
Williams first broke into the Post Office in
which, also, the Postmaster, Mr.. c. Whit
man keeps small stock ofgoods. Here
they rifed money drawer of small
amount, overlooking, however, another
drawer in which were the Post-officc funds
The next point of attack was the store OF
Mr.. E. w. Tcnney which they entered
without difficulty and proceeded at once
to business With the aid of a crowbar
which they had distracted from barn
in the neighborhood, they pried the safe
one of the Lille manufacture-out in.
to the middle of the room, and then with
sledge stolen from blacksmith shop
they knocked off the hinges and smaehed
in the door. From the safe they took
$500, and from the money drawer of the
store, $S.45 in change, with which they
got off without molestation, leaving the
tools behind, and the store in great con-
fusion. 1t appears that the burglar or
burglars if there was but one, used buff
falO robe to deaden the sound of the
sledge upon the safe. But the strangcst
circumstance of all was the fact that Mr..
Tcnney, lying awake at his residence
near the store, heard the strokes of the
sledge, but supposing it to proceed from
the horses in stable in the vicinity, sus
pected nothing and did not arise. He
had no suspicious of any one nor could
give any clue to the thieves.
But when the matter was brought to
the attention of Sheriff Farr, the latter
instantly betAought him Of suspicious
character which he had watched last fall,
who was known to have had q Kit of bur
glars tools manufactured in town, and
who then gave his name as Davis. He
was accompanied by woman purporting
to be his wife, The Sheriff fixed upon
this man in his own mind as the guilty
party, especially rs the woman was ia
miliar with Hazleton and the man had
been there frequently. And as if in con
firmation of the Sheriff's suspicious, the
same couple turned up in the first part of
this week, and registered at the Mer-
chants Hotel as Banks and wife and ap.
peared to be flush of money. The Sheriff
arrested the parties on Tuesday. They
were arraigned for examination before
Esq. Roszell on Thursday, Messrs. Jami-
son & Begun appearing for the prosccu-
ton, and Hart & Bruckart for the defense
A change Of venue was applied for how
ever, and objection being made to all the
magistrates in town, the venue was taken
to Esq. J. NJ. Miller, of Liberty township,
before whom the examination vii, be had
to day. The Sheriff is confident from the
circumstances Of the case, that lie has the
party or parties who committed the bur-
glary, but it is doubtful if direct evidence
can be procured to hold them

One Of that corps of caeoethes scribendt
afflicted individuals who seem always on
the alert to exc out the few brains of the
paper down the street when it seems like
ly to be worsted in an argument, puts in
the plea for the Board of Supervisors,
(they would skin HIM If they could iden.
tify HIM, that they did not reduce their
own pay because the Republicans "put
it out of their reach by an act of legis-
lation." Does not the weakling know
that that argument proves too much.
Could not the members Of Congress who
took the back pay plead the same in JUS
tification; that it was cut of their power
to refuse because Congress had voted it
to them?

WE notice that the Conservative does
not seem to regard the action Of the new
Board of Supervisors in cutting down the
salaries of the county officers rs quite Sc
promising of Anti Monopoly capital as il
did last week. We were convinced tina,
while it was indulging in that clap trap
about the Board being elected on princi
pies of retrenchment," and "doing their
duty to their constituents" it had over.
looked the fact that while the knife was
applied mcrcilessly POSSIBLY not unwise
ly) to the pay of the other officers, its
keen edge stopped just short of the pay
and perquisitcs of the Board itself, fact
that has not a pleasing aspect, if their
purpose was one Of thorough retrench
ment Reminded of this unfortunate
omission, the Conservative is agitatcd by
a mixture of emotions, and seeing no safe
middle ground to occupy, takes both sides
Of the dilemma. First it says rather sig.
nifiicantly: "As to the charge that the
Board failed to prunc the salary of its
members, we have only to say that We
commended the Board for what it did -
not for what it did not" The plain in.
ference from this ia that the Conservative
condemns the Board for its sins of omis
sion. and would speak out but for part
san considerations. Then, going off on
the other tack, it makes quite plausible
argument to prove that the pay of the
Supervisors is not too much, and that
there is no reason for reducing it unless
a further slice is taken from the other of.
ficers. Having thus safely delivered
itself on both sides of the question, the
Conservative must needs disturb the
equilibrium of its argument by giving
another kick to the beam against the
Board by the following:
After all said and done, the Board we
apprehend, need not think that the PEG.
pie will feel badly if tho members at their
next meeting determine to serve the peo-
pie at So per day.
Could effrontery further go? A long
paragraph is taken up with an argument
showing that the Supervisors are receiv-
ing just and equal compensation that
there is no reason why their pay should
be reduced that it amounts, in fact, to
no more than fair compensation for the
labor and Inconvenience involved in the
office and at the close they are impn
IDENTIFY admonished that "the people" ex-
pect them to abatc it to the tune of one
dollar day And for what? Why SIM
ply that "our party" may make capital
out Of it. Isn't it a lovely party that re-
quires such trickcry in its bchalf and
isn't it ~ high toned organ that advises
it?
If we were privileged to advise the
Board we should-remin them Of the ne
cessity Of consistency, whether acting for
political effect or the public good. We
do not want to be understood as charging
that the Supervisors had any political de
sign in this matter, but the organ Of tho
party to which the majority of them ad
here has sought to make such use of then
action, but with Indifferent success. The
last lesson learned by the organ aforesaid
is, that to be effective rs u political weap
on, retrenchment, like charity, should be
gin at home.
