Thus soliloquises Bro Cambridge
IN the Tama CHism OF June 4th
1874. We will state by way of an
introductory remark, that hitherto
nothing has been said by US against
tho move made by the citizens Of
TAna, towards improving the water
power at their command, because
we were satisfied that it it was sue
ccssfully improved shat it would
not only be benefit to Tama City,
but also lasting benefit to the en-.

entering into anything like o person

and prophesied falsely aud throwed
everything they could in sho way OF
any and all enterprises that Toledo
has ever advocated ? most certainly
they have: they have even resorted
to the Courts tor aid, and from ex,
perience they probably understand
the nature of an injunction and have
taught their neighbors here at
Toledo all tho tricks Of tho trade.
However, don't be alarmed Bro.
Cambridge we have no desire to re-
sort 10 the means that You have
taught US TO use for the purpose OF
impeding progress IN your mammoth
water power. On the contrary, we
like to see the over loaded Golfers Of
lama City's wealthy denixens empt.
led into the lap Of the contractor
for the purpose Of aiding public inn
provements. It does US good to see
the move, although wo do not heal.

and that we believe in all candor,
that the upshot Of the whole affair
will be the throwing Of q few thous-
snd yards OF dirt, without having &C.

struck. This grand American people will
shake off the yoke of intemperance. My
heart beats fast 80 times a day. ! thank
God that have lived to see this uprising
of my countrywomen. The women of
Ohio send greeting to their New England
sisters and challenge them to the race set
before them, looking ever to the Captain
of our salvation. How | long to be with
you. In four days l turn my face east
ward. May God keep us to be wise, pa
tient, and determined while we inaugurate
the work in New England. Now | am
satisfied that Boston can cast off this hor-
rid incubus in less than two months, and
Worcester in 80 days
Yours ever, Do LEWIS.
