his remarks didn't suit. The holy man

Who are the Davenport Parties?

The Muscatine Journal says: The lit
tie town of Brighton, II miles south OF
Washington, has lately been agitated by
case of sconddlum magnatun. Its first
development was the horse whipping OF
young man in the post Office lobby by a
woman who complained that he had circul-
ated false reports in regard to her charac-
ter. A notice of this event was sent to
one of the Washington Iowa. papers, the
writer defending the action of the feminine.
In the last Warrington Press another
Brighton correspondent says the woman
was formerly connected with circus, which
she left at Davenport for an abandoned
life, and that Dr. Presson, a newcomer at
Brighton, with whom she has been stop
ping, is not her uncle" but practical
Woodhulite, who has harbored the woman,
knowing her to be of bad character. II
appears, further, that the woman, who is
known in Brighton as Mrs T. Robertson
has been in the habit of meeting runner
from Davenport clothing house and put
ting up with him at hotels as his wife
The trick was twice performed at Musca
tine, where the parties were registered az
''Mr. Fairfield and wife. Altogether the
circumstances are disgraccful to all thu
parties. The maid is said to be quite
handsome and fascinating.

We leave John Hackett and the Blonde
Little Sheet to explain the enormity of the
crime of respectfully asking judge to con-
slider suitable recommendations for ap-
pointments of his constituents to places
within his gift. 1t has not, heretofore,
been considered criminal, or evidence of
corruption, for any citizen to aspire to any
place, or for any citizen or any number
of citizens to recommend any other citi-
zen, if suitable to fill the position, to any
office. 1t appears to us that John Hack
would have cut a better figure to have
manifested a willingness to consider all
and any recommendations made, and then
exercised his best judgement in the ap-
pointment. 1t seems apparent that his
previous record, in the appointments he ha;
made, does not give him any particular
cause for self. glorifcation.

Taxes Must be Paid.

1t will be seen by reference to our tele-
graph columns that a motion was made in
our Legislature to extend the time for the
collection of taxes and that it was defeat
ed. There is, therefore, to be no extern
sion. The taxes are now due and the var
ious township collectors are waiting to re-
ceive the money and pay it over to the
County Treasurer. The obligations of the
State, the County and the City cannot be
paid unless the people pay their taxes
Capt. Fl. C. Cleaveland has already giver
notice through the papers that he has his
books for this township. His office is IL
Buford's Block, where he is waiting tol
the people to call and pay.

1t is always good thing for the public
when railroads get up healthy rivalry for
business, and the people generally will,
therefore, be glad to know that
the Baltimore & Ohio, and the
Pennsylvania railroads are at war
again. The officials of the former road de-
clare the fight between the Pennsylvania
and the Baltimore & Ohio railroads grows
more intense every day. The officials of
the latter road declare that it means war
to the knife and the knife to the hilt, and
they will either conquer or perish in the
attempt. The Pennsylvania road has cut
the 3. & o., from New York, refusing to
sell tickets or check baggage from New
York or Philadelphia The b. Il o., to
get even with the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, has just established an opposi-
ton line to the East, and will take freight
at almost any rate. This new line run:
from Chicago to Baltimore over the Iii
nois Central, kankakee Line, Marietta 4
Cincinnati, and the Baltimore Il OhiC
railroads, and will be called the Continen
tai Freight Line. By this route the Balti
more & Ohio Railroad Company is enabled
to give through bills of lading to Liverpool
over the three steamship lines from Bait
more, and they are enabled to make tn
fight bitter one allowing the lowest rate
necessary to get the business. One thou
sand new cars have already been placed o
. this line, and still more are constructing
+ and contracts have already been made f
their full capacity.
