A Supreme Farce.

What screaming farce" as the
play bills have it, was enacted at the
Anti-Monopoly convention last Fri.
day when, after nominating David
A. Diltz to oppose VIM. H. Van Ness
for election as Clerk of the District
and Circuit Courts, the convention
made great parade and flourish Of
trumpets over its refusal to name an
opponent to Mr.. Hawley, the Repub-
lican candidate for reelection as
Recorder, upon the grounds of his,
(Mr. Hawley's),probity and efficiency
as public officer. 1t is very true
that Mr.. Hawley has been an honest,
accommodating and efficient official
and it would doubtless be gratifying
to him and to his Republican friends
and supporters to have this fact at
tested by Democratic county con.
vention had it been done with any
possible show of spontaneity and sin
certify. But the facts in the case
are, that it was cold booded, cut
and dried trick, intended solely for
political effect, and every man of 'em
knows it just as well as we do. Jo-
seph Weaver did not mean one word
ne said when in announcing Hawley's
name he palavered about ''purity and
first principles" and he was
just as conscious of that fact
rs was every one within
the hollow sound of his voice. Had
there been one iota of sincerity in
the pretentions he there made, he
must, perforce, have also recommend
ed to that convention to extend it's
loving embrace around the remaining
Republican candidate, VIM. II. Van
Ness-than whom, by the unanimous
verdict of the public, a more honest,
capable and accommodating man never
hlled the important position to which
he has been re-nominated.
No, no. the pure and virgin heart
ed Performers merely thought they
had discovered chance to make a
little political capital, and being fully
aware OF their great poverty in that
line, they set their trap and now have
sprung it; but as is usually the case
in political traps-from the great
Cincinnati-Greeley trap down to the
little Upton Weaver trap-there is
no likelihood of any one getting
caught except the trappers them.
selves.

We can see no reason why citizens
Of Cedar county should vote against
the bridge across Cedar river, and
quite : number WHY they should
vote in favor Of it. 1t is admitted
upon all hands to be much needed
Improvement. That river, totally
impossible for weeks at time and
only passable with trouble and dam
ger for many other weeks, should d.
vide one third of Cedar county from
the remaining two-thirds, will not rec
ommend itself to any person as at
all the proper state Of affairs. And
especially in this true when the coun-
ty is totally out of debt and sbund-
antly able to make the much needed
improvement, and when the proposed
plan for raising the necessary funds
is such that the burden can hardly
be felt. There are those who think
the people in the immediate vicinity
of the proposed bridge should raise
by private subscription a portion Of
the amount before public aid
be granted. But we think
no one who has carefully observed
the unfairness, trouble and embar-
rassment of this plan Of making pub
lie improvement will advocate the
principle involved IS the correct one.
If not, why refer to the fact that such
a plan has in some instances been
pursued. Two wrongs do not make
one right.
We have been at some pains to
inquire the prevailing sentiment up
on this question, and are led to believe
that many localities which have for
mally been opposed to bridge will
favor the project under existing cir
cumstances. We hope this is true,
aud that the result Of the vote will
annul the divorce SO long enforced
by the Cedar river against her east
ern and western banks.

can see hair line on circus bill,
some twenty-seven miles distant, but
they can pass within two feet of tax
notice, printed in letters the size of a

there. This is due, perhaps, to higher
instinct which presents itself only up
on such occasions, and while it may be
