The Dubuque Herald says that it hap
pens to know that the Western Excelsior
Gas Company have been notified in sever
al towns of the failure of their gas to
come up to their guarantee. We hope
that this will not prove the case in this
city Conservative.
Does it not occur to our neighbor, now
that nothing is to be gained by it, that it
would be much faircr and juster to the
gas company, which has thus far acted in
good faith with our community, TO await
developments and actual trial, now not
long to be delayed, than to, ever SO remote
ly suggest that it is going to fail to do
what it has promised and pledged itself
to do. 1t may possibly be that the state
ment in the above paragraph is true, but
the authority quoted is not sufficient to es-
tablish it. 1t seems to us that at this
stage of the proceeding it is both unwisc
and unjust to embarrass the gas company
by suggestions of its failure when few
weeks at most will demonstrate its ability
to fulfill its contracts, beyond question.
p. S-Since the above was written we
have received card from Mr. Robinson,
the agent of the Gas Company, on the
same subject, which will be found in an
other place

Tho Charge OF Nepotism.

Mr.. EDIToR:-In your paper of Dec.
18th, 1874, an article appears "How Is
this for Nepotism?" signed S. NJ. Allen
The article contains several statements
which are erroneous, and one which i'm
pugns the official integrity of the under,
signed. The tenor of the article bctrays q
spirit of artfulness and design, inconsist-
cnt with, and unnecessary in the statement
of facts.
If the writer is Stephen NJ. Allen, OF
Homer township, we are not at all sur
prised ut the character of such an article
appearing over his signature. Stephen
NJ. Allen repeatedly tried to obtain GER
tificate for teaching, year ago, always
however avoiding public examination.
At length, finding that he could not OBJ
| tain one in the manner he desired, by
simply showing old certificates, he resOrted
to private examination, which resulted
in his rejection, although Mr. Rowe did
accept the dollar fee, as was his right then,
under the law. The manuscript of this
examination is still on hand, and will be
published should it be deemed necessary.
Stephen NJ. Allen applied again to the I'M
