independent Newspapers.

This age IL one peculiarly given to
humbugs. When the historian Of
the future comes to classify this peri
od Of time, he will record II ~ an
epoch OF deIusions. People seem 10
have a mania for being gulled and
deceived. and appear frequently to
relish "sell." Hydra is no term
for this modern monster, and its
name Is more than legion.
One Of the phases In which we
m eet this thing IL that OF so-cailed
independent journalism. We do not
wish to be understood as disparaging
the true article; but there Is spuri-
ous kind which struts forth In the
I" fuss and fury" OF Its own boastful
littleness, and proclaims itself the
great mogul TO which obelsance must
be made. As general thing the
greater the boaster the bigger the
coward, or the less worthy the per-
son or thing that Is vaunted. This
rule holds good with the press that
loudly busters about independence.
Take the papers of the country
that claim to be independent, and
eliminate from them the personal
portions that are vindiciive and spie-
netic, and the remainder will scarce
~ make respectable shadow II held
up I'm the sunshine. We might name
some OF these journals, but ii ls hard
ly necessary. Put them all in a batch
ard they are much the same color.
Their venoinous Trades are as far
removed from just criticism as logic
il from cant, or reason from dogma
tism. The men who conduct this
class ef papers have a wonderful
command OF the diabolical adjec-
tiyes, and can use them with a fu.
ency which almost challenges our
admiration. Nothing escapes them.
They cut and slash like crazy looms,
and strive to make the impression
that but for them the country would

pendence "die in the house of its
pretended friends" They have just
one strong characteristic and that is
to villify. Denunciation is their
stock in trade. They can tear down
with all the violence of an army Of
vandals; but they have less genius
to build up than band of Flat
heads.
We admire true independence ev-
erywhere. tits one Of the essential
attributes ofgood journalism. With
out 1t II Is unworthy Of confidence,
and nevers reliable. But independ-
ence Of the genuine sort Is manly,
honest, fair. 1t is not governed by
prejudice or swayed by passion. 1t
criticises, II need be, severely but not
cautiously. 1t does not thrust self
forward, but places sfScts, opinions,
principles, precedents, arguments In
the foreground, and leaves SELF out Of
sight.
We have read the leading papers
that set Up as their special stock In
trade, their freedom Of party, sect,
creeds, and pretty much everything
else, good, bad and indifferent, and
there Is more of personal spite, of
fault finding, Of censure, of bile and
consciousness than Ia any other
class OF journals published. Instead
Of being the exponents of the princi-
Piles Of a party, they are but the me-
diums through which the personal
anilnositles are conveyed and elected
upon the public. There is but little
manly criticism In them, while the
fioodgates Of animadversion are
opened and the sluice-ways of vitup-
GRAFTON let loose.
There Il doubtless more independ-
ence IN those party organs which
dare to be manly and speak the truth
with freedom, than there Is in the
so-calIed independent press. There
10 less violence, less malice, less inn
becility of passion, and more real
solid worth. We have no respect for
q subservient party press. It's con-
ductors are mere tools and sycoph-
ants, whose opinions are valueless,
because they are mere echoes Of what
the party says or does; but n paper
which has fixed basis Of principle,
and yekholds itself ready to point
errors u the part Of its associates or
the leadxs of Its party, Is the high
est type OF political Journalism We
ha VA ct reached.

Political Three Card Monte.

Bnrlinzson Hswkeye.
Now you see 1t, and now you don't.
Old Game.
The political gamblers who have
been trying to stock the cards on the
Republican party for several years
ventured on new game In 1872. Up
to that time they had called them
selves Democrats. It was "the old
Democratic party" in which they
had gloried. All their hopes and
efforts were bound up in 1t. But all
at once this great organization tlisap-
peared, 1t sank out Of view almost
in day. It's tattered banners no
longer kissed the breeze. The heroes
who fought its battles covered their
scars with patches labeled REFORM"
and announced themselves prophets
of a new dispensation. They were
Liberals, and the Liberal party !"
rose, like Jonah's gourd, In night.
When twitted with being Democrats
in disguise they denied the soft i'm
peachment. They had started out,
they averred, to cleanse the body
polite. This required thew"
party, and 10 that object they pledged
their fortunes, lives and their sacred
honors.
Well, Liberalism CAME to grief. II
failed to take with the people. Hor-
ACE Greeley, and few Republicans,
ofilciatad as troopers in," but being
suspected of an interest in tho game
were allowed 10 play 1t alone, and
modification ut being caught in such
business cost the philosopher his life.
Then the gamblers invented a new
name with a Granger twang to 1t,
and shufiied the cards once more.
This time they called II " Anti .Afb-
nopoly." But 1Anti-
Monopoly" proved less attractive
than LIBERAL" the people looking
on In disgust, while hardly granger
was green enough to invest In the
little game"
Another year has passed, and a
now dodge becomes necessary. Five
political monte players assembled at
Des Moines, and on their own voli-
tion, with one sweep Of their magic
wand, set aside Liberal" and
"Anti. Monopoly" and restore the
Democratic party. All their talk
against Democracy goes for nothing
all their confessions OF its crimes
and hort~comings-withopt somuch
as asking thy yonr leave" Of Re.
publieans who have been drawn Into
their "third party" toils--they
wipe out the history Of the past three
years, md introduce the old party
discarded in 1872 as the rallyiRg
t,oipt for the "ref0rms " about which
they have been prating. This, then,
il what all the Auti .Monop. and
Liberal trickery meant--only The by.
play 10 restoration Of the defunct
Democracy.

EDITORIAL False Independence.

The Abba Reporter. which came
into existence less than two months
ago with the cry Of Political Inde-
peudence has already surrendered
its independence and hoisted the call
for Democratic State convention.
These boasts Of new papers that they
"will always he independent In pol
itics," that they twill do right
without fear or favor" that they
I" would rather be right than be
President" are the sure precursors
OF the most cowardIy and ahject hu-
initiation and subseryiency to the
democratic party. Their boasts Of
honesty and independence are made
TO secure the patronage OF Repnbli-
cans and those who bite at the bait
are sure to be bitten sooner or later
probably as soon as the first cam
paign opens. The editor who dares
not as a man declare hla preference
between the two great political par
ties Of the day, has no opinion worth
spoonful Of garrbroth or IL angling
for gudgeons; and If he makes loud
boast Of political independence, and
yet refuses 10 declare his choice, he
will be found a timorous. sly, vac
illating imbecile, unworthy Of con-
fidence as teacher. He will gener-
ally sell out to the highest bidder, II
he can secure fe~ drinks TO seal the
bargain.
The Reporter is only one Of a num-
ber OF pretended independent news
papers In Iowa. They have an in
Fiction of that sort In Ottumwa. Os-
kaloosa and Newton have cases OF
the same general type in slightly
modified form. They allie promul-
gate the call for the Democratic State
Convention; but some OF them forge
heading for the call to suit them
selves. Not one of them has suffic-
lent independence to protest against
the deceit couched In the call and its
puerile trucking to the Liberal Re-
publicans and Anti-Monopoiisis,
who are cody invited to assist In re-
orgaEix z the Demoxal pirty.

ocrats as Irish, Evans, Claggett,
Campbell, Dodge, Harris, Mahoney,
ct al, will be the subservient dema-
gogues who esteem political promo
ton above principle, and care not
for name. They will be the men
who one short year ago declared the
Democratic party corrupt and
unworthy the support of honest
men. To-day they are as ready to
assist at the resurrection as they were
then pirate ofthe death and hide the
unsightly remains from the sight of
men.
These are not the men who can
lead the Republican Anti-Monopo-
lists into another trap. The latter
having once been deceived into a
halfway endorsement of Democracy
and sold out, cannot be induced to
take asecond step in that direction
by the side of their betrayers.
The men I'm the above list who
represent no more dollars and cents
than does the gentleman whose
name bangles like Gratz Brown at
the tail of the list, will enjoy no
chance for preferment. The man
the Democracy place on the head Of
their ticket must be able and willing
to shell out the ducats in generous
measure for campaign expenses.

The Iowa Press is mad because the
Republican papers will not say pos
itively" whether the call for Dem
ocratic Con vention means Demo-
cratic surrender or q Liberal surren-
der and SALE" Well, we can answer
almost any ridiculous conundrum
that our Democratic friends put to us;
but this one is poser. We really
cannot tell, in the delectable politi-
cal mess that brother Irish and the
chairman of the other state and ma
tional committees are cooking up,
which Is turkey and which is buzzard.

know, we can't tell who does. What
does the Iowa City Press call 1t, for
instance?

and that Mr.. G. L. Perkins, formerly
Superintendent of the Burlington
