THE WHISKY RING.
Summary Of the Result OF tho Grand
Campaign Against the Revenue
Thieves.
WASHINGTON, Nov.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.
The time would seem to have come
to summarize the results of the open
ing Of the campaign in the greatest
and most successful contest with
frauds, which has ever been waged
by any department of the govern
ment. There have been in st. Louis
in all thirty-one pleas of guilty, and
in every case except where the guilty
ones have given evidence to the gov
eminent, the full measure of punish
ment will be dealt.
The property seized in that city Is
worth $4,000, and will bring 1t to
the government, which will realize
the same amount from the forfeited
bonds of the distillers. In addition
there are bonds Of the twenty Gaug-
ers amounting to 100000, which the
government will compel the payment
of, making the total net proceeds OF
the judicial proceedings in St. Louis
$l,25O,OOO, which will probably be
deposited IN the Treasury within 100
days from this date. 1t Is estimated
that there has probably been three
millions of dollars stolen at St. Louis
in the last three years, so that nearly
one. half of the amount of the fraud
at that point will be recovered. If
the government meets with as good
success at Chicago and Milwaukee at
least $3,5OO,OOO will be brought into
the Treasury. There will probably
be one hundred convictions in all,
and leak of $2.5OO.OOO a year will
be stopped. The Treasury officials
feel the utmost confidence in their
ability to accomplish the same results
in Chicago and Milwaukee that have
been SO triumphantly secured in St.
Louis. A sure test OF this success is
the condition of the whisky market,
which has been entirely free from
crooked whisky now for several
months. 1t is an interesting fact
that before the raid on distillers be-
gan there were actual quotations of
illicit whiskey in the market reports,
the price being given day by day at
about cents gallon lower than
honest whisky. The Treasury Off
Gals who have directed the campaign
have great reason to be, and are, of
course, highly satisfied with what they
have thus far ACCOMPLISHED.

NEWSPAPER PosTAGE.-The Chi
cago Journal says: 'Thc increased
and burdensome postage on transient
newspapers, magazines, books, ETC.,
which has prevailed since the stupid
action of Congress last winter, is on
the fair route to adjustment. The
excessive postage seems to have been
fastened upon newspapers by an error,
the members Of the Committee on
Appropriation which recommended
the new law to Congress now claim
ing that they understood the increase
to apply only to merchandise. Gen
eral J. A. Garfield, the chairman of
the committee, thus expresses himself,
announces his determination to move
for the repeal of the obnoxious law
at the opening of Congress-

WE publish in another column a
brief summary Of the results 50 far
accomplished of the splendid assault
making by Secretary Bristow and his
efficient agents upon the formidable
whisky ring, designed to bring that
rascally crew of thieves and plumber
ers, and the officials they have cor
rupted, to judgment, and to wrest
from them the vast sums of which
they have Systematically defrauded
the revenue. The work of bringing
to light and furnishing these guilty
parties has been most zealously and
skillfally performed, and the record
of results, as shown forth in the re-
port alluded to, is one that the De-
partment and the Republican admin
istration has a right to be proud of.
With the reforms set on foot and
vigorously enforced in other depart
ments of the government, the rule of
strict accountability required Of all
officials, and the general watchfulness
over the public interests, it demon
strates the ability and willingness of
the Republican party to rectify error,
reform abuses and guarantee efficiency
and integrity in public affairs.

THANKSGIVING.
Proclamation by tho Governor.

The receding days of autumn are
bringing us near the close of another
year of toll, harvest, and of fruits
1t accordingly becomes us again to
bow reverently in the presence of the
Author Of Life and Its blessings, and
return thanksgiving and praise tor
the abundance with which the year
has been crowned in our State, and
throughout the nation. Referring,
therefore, to the accompanying Proc
lamation of the President of the
United States, designating Thursday,
the 25th of November, as the day of
National Thanksgiving, commend
It's recommendations to the people OF
Iowa.
We of this State should especially
lift our hearts to God in thankfulness
that in the past year we have been
exempted from the scourge which
threatened our harvest, and wasted
the fields of some sister States and
Territories during the previous two
years. Blythe blessing of Providence
the cause of this desolation, conpell-
ing the people in portions OF the
West to seek aid elsewhere, to which
the citizens of Iowa made generous
contributions, has been removed
We should still remember, however,
that we have tf9 poor with us always.
Let us, therefore, in the observance
of our Thanksgiving ceremonies,
give to our prayers and praises a
practical application by contributing
something from our abundance to
those of our -neighbors whose misfor-
tune, or, perhaps, improvidence, has
reduced to want.
In testimony whereof, l have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the Great Seal of the State of
Iowa.
Done at the city of Des Moincs, the
seat of Government of the State,
this third day of November, in
the year of our Lord one thous-
and eight hundred and seventy
five, of the independence of the
United States the one hundredth,
and of the State of Iowa the
twenty-ninth.

SENATORIAL FoRTIFIcATIoNs. -
Among the representatives of the
Press present at the Grew Butte In
dian Council, on the 23d of Septem-
Der, there was present that quiet and
mild-mannered, bald-headed man of
whiz and drive, Charlie Collins, rep
resentlng himself, the Chicago Times,
the Associated Press, and the original
Black Hills business. The 23d Of
September, it will be remembered,
was the day that the expedition clme
near being wiped out by the savages.
Collins was on the grounds during
the entire time, and was seated imme-
diately behind the Chairman, Senator
Allison. And Charley kept his seat
very closely, the most of the time his
bald head peeping out one side or the
other, looking out for the frolic to
commence. In the evening Charlie
came to the tent we were occupying
and says he: "Do you know how l
intended TO protectmyself in the row?
Well, you see Senator Allison was
sitting right in front Of me-in fact,
l kept just in his rear very carefully.
AS he was on the front seat, l thought
he would be killed at the first fire,
and l proposed to draw the body
right over me and take chances with
a dead Senator as my fertilization"
Every Sioux City mn will know just
where to add Charley's usual mild
to fill up. After Charley
had told his plan Of campaign he par
took Of some of 'Hornick & Walls"
and scooted' down the row of tents
bareheaded and rapidly. What a
it must be to Senator Allison
to know the intentions OF one OF his
constituents toward his corpse on
that occasion!-Fort Dodge 1Nesse,~

The report of the Commission ap-
pointed to investigate the affairs Of
the Reform School at Eldora, is pub
lished in the State Register, of the 9th.
1t is u lengthy document, and sustains
in every particular the charges of
cruelty, starvation, and general MIS-
management, made against McCarty,
the Superintendent of the School;
and by implication, reflects severely
upon the Board of Trustees. 1t also
recommends an entire change in the
officials and manner of government
of the institution.
We know very little of the facts
involved in the report of the Com
mission, and would not, therefore,
say that its conclusions are unwar-
ranted, but its tone, and the manner
in which the points are made against
the condemned officials, are not cal
culated to give it the weight it might
otherwise have, or impress the read
er with the dignity or judicial far
ness of the Commission. Much of it
is written in a tone of partisanship
better BETTING the advocate than the
judge, and, to our mind, the inference
seems inevitable that the Commits
sion has suffered itself to become in
volved, to a certain extent, in the
rancorous local feeling prevailing at
Eldora over the management of the
School. The Committee confess that
the utmost latitude with regard to
hearsay evidence and irrelevant mat
tiers was allowed in the investigation;
and to many readers of the report,
much of the evidence adduced will
not bear the conclusive Interpretation
given it by the Committee.
1t is not unlikely that the Bo ird of
Trustees may be heard from in re-
spouse to that portion OF the report
rejecting upon them. They are gen.
tlemen of good reputation and high
character, and i: is hard to believe
that they have suffered the monstrous
abuses detailed in the report to be
perpetrated without the exercise of
their authority to prevent them.
The public will generally endorse
the recommendation of the Commit
tee for change in the officials of the
institution. Whatever their merits
or dement's, their usefulness is ended.
But we very much doubt, with the
never-ending bear fight surrounding
the school at Eldora, whether any
body will be able to successfully
manage its affairs. Whoever he may
be, the Superintendent will be ex-
pected to join one side or the other
of the local teud, and whether it be
the Montagus or the Capulets, or if
he hold himself aloof from either, he
will be in continual hot water, all the
same

a NOTABLE change in Iowa journ-
alism, which brings again to active
duty after retirement Of some years,
y very able and influential member
of the guild editorial, took place last
week. Mr.. Waldo NJ. Potter has
sold his interest in the Davenport
Gazette to Edwand Russell, the form
err editor of the paper, who has alrea-
dy donned the harness, and is in full
charge of Its columns. The return of
Mr.. Russell to the journalistic field
will be the occasion of warm con-
gratulations from his brethren of the
quill, as well as the people of the
State generally, to whom he is known
as a writer Of marked ability and in
flexible principle. The Gazette, as
in the past, will hold its place in the
front rank of Iowa newspapers, and
WELD positive power for the public
good.
1t is gratifying TO know that this
change does not retire Mr.. Potter
from the editorial ranks of our State.
He takes in part payment for his in
terest in the Gazette the Clinton Her.
aid establishment, to the readers of
which paper he made his bow on the
9th. The signal ability which Mr..
Potter displayed while in charge of
the Gazette, give assurance that he
will soon place the Herald among
the leading and influential papers of
the State. The people of Clinton
have the best reasons for congratu-
lating themselves upon change that
brings to their city gentleman so
well fitted by education, experience
and recognized journalistic ability, to
advance their important public inter
ests. They will no doubt recognize
their obligation to give the Herald,
under the new regime, a most gener-
Gus support.
