TAX TITLEs.-Thc Legislature has
made important changes in the law
in regard to deeds for land sold at
tax sales. The law requires the hold
ers Of such tax certificates to serve
notice OH owners of lands sold for
taxes before deeds for such lands can
be made by the treasurer. The no.
tice must be served at least ninety
days before the deed can be executed.
If the owner of the land is a resident
Of the county, the notice must be
served by an officer, the same as an
original notice in the circuit or dis
trict court; but if such owner be a
nonresident, then the notice must be
by newspaper publication. The hold
ers of these certificates who intend to
claim deeds this fall will fail unless
they comply with the statute.

The Dubuque Herald says that
collector NJ. NJ. Trumbull has re-
ceived notice from the Revenue au-
thoritics in Washington, to forward
the names OF Rhomberg's bondsmen
at once, in order that the suit institu-
ted against him some time since to
recover $4,000 alleged to be due
Uncle Sam rs taxes OH distilled
spirits, can be brought forward i'm
mediately. This indicates not only
that the authorities are determined
topush things, but that suit will be
brought against the bondsmen to re-
cover the amount.

THE third-terin spook is being ma
tcrializcd again by the Democratic
press, and number of Republican
papers are obli"ing the enemy by
getting scared ut it. Because Presi-
cent Grant will not talk to everybody
on anything, like Henry Wilson, the
Democratic press find it easy work
to charge something against him, and
then trap the scary portion of the
Republican press into demanding
that he deny 1t. We agree with the
st. Louis Giobe, that the President,
i'll this term matter, has pursued the
course which good sense would die
tate to any man in his position. That
is to say, he has not declined what
has not been rendered to him, and
what he is not likely to receive. If
he had responded to the addle-headed
calls for an expression of opinion
against third term, the Democratic
press of the country would have re-
sounded with the touching couplct:
Il will not marry you. my pretty maid
Nobody axed yon, sir, she said

DIR. Guilbert, of Dubuque, is
named by some Of the opposition
press as their candidate for Governor.
If he hopes to secure the nomination
he will have to begin to swallow the
Democratic party; and he must not
stop to take it in homeopathic doses,
either.
A gentleman residing in Kansas
writing to the State Register says:
Il cast my vote for honest John Rus
sell for Governor, and Samuel J.
Kirkwood for Senator" We admire
the writer's judgment, but would sug-
gest that it he wants his vote to
count he should come back to Iowa.
1t might be risky to attempt to count
it for either of the gentlemen named
under existing circumstances.
The Ottumwa Courier having
remarked that L. L. Ainsworth, men,
Der of. Congress from this District, is
intellectually as creditable a repre-
sentative of the Democratic party of
Iowa as it had to furnish" the Du-
buque Heruld quotes it as a high
compliment to Mr.. Ainsworth. The
remark is, perhaps, susceptible of
that construction, but there arc those
who will persist in saying that it is
the toughest joke yet perpetrated on
the Democratic party of Iowa.
The Knoxville Democrat-edit-
ed by Senator Mccormick, one of the
leading Democrats of the State
says: ''Thc State Register thinks,
from the tone of the radical press Of
this State, that Hon. John Russell, of
Jones, is the coming man for the rad
ical nomination Of Governor. The
Republican party Of Iowa does not
possess better man than that same
honest old John Russell, Of JONES'"
The Cedar Rapids Republican
hopes that the chad man plank" will
be dispensed with in the next Repub-
lican State Convention. We hope it
will be allowed to remain. 1t will
do no harm, even if there be no occa-
sion to apply it. 1t is standing
guaranty of good nominations. 1t is
right in principle, and we hope the
Republican party will never abandon

The Ottumwa Courier, in a whim-
steal sort of style, nominates that
sstall son of York." G. Sanborn, of
the Manchester Press, for Lieut.. Gov
ernor. We hardly, know whether
the Courier intends its notice of Mr..
Sanborn's candidacy as a joke or
otherwise, but we do know that in
the essential qualifications of unbend-
ing integrity, sound judgment and
ability, the Republicans are not likely
to find candidate that will better
fill the bill.

EDITORS are always letting their
generosity and unselfishness stand in
the way of their own interests. Here
is the latest instance. At Portage,
Wis, the editor of the village paper
and druggist were rival candidates
for Alderman in one of the wards.
The editor magnanimously voted for
his opponent and elected him, the
druggist getting 81 votes of the l6o
polled. Probably the druggist voted
for himself; and instead of thanking
his generous competitor, tainted him
with his foolish magnanimity. Sich

The Inter Ocean which has re-
ceived full and comprehensive reports
Of the condition of the growing crops,
thus sums up the result:
Judging from our dispatches it
may be stated in brief that the out
look for winter wheat in these sec
tons most largely devoted to the cul-
tlvation of this cereal is not cncoura-
ging. There will be much less than
an average crop, and IN many locali-
ties less than half crop. Spring
wheat is not yet all sown; but, so far
as reported, generally promises well.
Oats, rye, barley, and clover have suf-
fered to some extent while the fruit
crop, except apples, will be almost a
total failure. The cold weather dur
ing the winter, blighting winds, and
the heavy frosts Of April 18th and
18th were the principal damaging
causes. Corn planting has barely
commenced, and hence it is useless
to speculate as to the probable crop.
The grasshoppers have made their
appearance in Minnesota, Nebraska,
Kansas and Missouri. In the latter
State they are already devastating
the gardens, while the States subject
ed to their ravages last year hope for
relief this season, by the migration
Of the nests to other localities as vet
not cursed by them.

The Chicago Tribune says truly
that the Democrats are solely respo-
sible for the dust raised about the
third term, and their party the only
one that would really like to have
Gen. Grant nominated. They know
that the people are unalterably OPP
posed, not especially to the re-nomi-
nation of Gen. Grant, but to the idea
OF a third term for any occupant OF the
Presidential position, and they see
their best hopes of success in such a
mistake by the Republican party.
There is no probability that their
wishes will be gratified however.

GEO. WIN. CURTIS in his address
at the centennial celebration at Con-
cord, last week, referred pointedly to
the habit which some people have of
abiding to the former times as the
golden age Of our Republic, and de-
crying the present era as one of de-
generacy, of decline Of patriotism,
and decay of virtue. He said:
There is cynicism which fondly
fancies that in its beginning the
American republic moved proudly
toward the future with all the splen-
did assurances Of the Persian Xerxes
descending on the shores of Greece,
but that it sits to-day among the
shattered hopes, like Xerxes above
his ships at Salamis. And when was
this golden age? Was it when John
Adams appealed from the baseness
Of his own time to the greater candor
and patriotism of this? Was it when
Fisher Ames mourned over lost
America, like Rachel for her children
and would not be comfortcd? Was
it when William Writ said that he
sought in vain for man fit for the
Presidency Or for great responsible
ty? Was it when Chancellor Liv-
ingstone saw only a threatening flu
turc, because Congress was so feeble?
Was it when we ourselves saw the
industry, the commerce, the society,
the church, the courts, the statesman
ship, the conscience of America SEEM
ingly PROSTATE under the foot of sla-
very? Was this the golden age of
thesesentimental signs, this the region
behind the north wind of these re-
proachful regrets? And is it the
young nation which with prayer and
faith, with untiring devotion and un-
conquerable will has lifted its bruised
and broken body from beneath that
crushing heel, whose future is dis
trust?
Nay, this very cynicism is one of
the foes that we must meet and con-

APROPOS OF the recommendation OF
Judge Cole of the Supreme Court, in
favor of a local option law with refer
ence to the sale Of liquors, it cannot
be denied that the prohibitory statute
of this State falls far short of the de-
sign Of its trainers. In very few
places does it wholly prevent the sale
of intoxicating liquors, though in
making the traffic hazardous and diff
ficult, it must be credited with in
some degree, ultailing their con-
sumption. Owing to causes outside
the law it is not, in practice, a success
in preventing intemperance and it's
attendant evils. But while this must
be confessed, it may well be doubted
if a license law would DO more
efficient. The latter proposition is
not fortunate in a large share of its
most earnest supporters. Fully one
half of those who favor a license law,
it may be assumed, care nothing for
the suppression of intemperancc.
Many of them on the other hand de-
sire larger liberty to sell whiskey,
and immunity from the penalties for
so doing, imposed by the present law.
Dubuque affords an illustration of
this fact. According to appearances
the advocates of license are in large
majority there, and yet nobody be-
lieves that the ruling public senti-
ment in that city favors curtailment
of the sale or consumption of intoxi-
eating drinks. The prosperity of
Dubuque is confessedly based upon
the trade of half dozen wholesale
liquor merchants, and when their IN
terests are in peril from prosecution
by poor wife or widow of drunk
ard, or other cause, we see the press
and people with one accord, upon one
pretext or another, flying to the res
cue. There is evidently a disposition
to augment this profitable trade
rather than curtail it. Speaking of
the papers of Dubuque, they are one
and all swift and willing champions
of the liquor traffic, and in this side
light must be viewed their profession
Of concern over the gigantic evils of
incompetence. epresume there is
not a saloon keeper or liquor mer-
chant in Iowa who is not an enthusi-
astic advocate of a '.judicious" license
law. Their motive surely is not to
cripple the traffic Or diminish the
quantity of liquor sold. On the
other hand we are warranted in the
inference that they expect such law
to diminish the perils, and thus in
crease the profits of their trade. In
discussing the method of dealing
with the liquor problem, it is we'll to
keep this fact in view. Again, it is
significant circumstance that amid
all the vigorous asseverations of the
advocates of license law, that it
will restrain intemperauce, not fact
drawnfrom the experience of States in
which such laws are in force, has been
offered in demonstration of the
truth OF this theory. Their argu-
ments never take the form Of exact
statement. We have more than is
needed of pointed assertion that pro-
hibition does not prohibit, but no
proof that a license system will prove
any more efficient for the end that
temperance men have in view.

The Brewers of Iowa held a con.

The Brewers of Iowa held con-
vention at Des Moines last week, the
report of which, with the resolutions
adopted have been published in the
daily papers. Among the resolutions
are the following, which may be
taken as a fair reflex of the spirit of
the convention:
Resolued, That we will support
only such newspapers as represent
our views and opinions.
Resolced, That we will record in a
black list and publish through circu-
lars, the names Of the leaders and
agitators of the temperance men.
1t is favoritc practice of the
apologists for the rum interest, to
stigmatize temperance men as "fanat-
ics." We doubt, however, if the
proceedings of any temperance con-
vention, or in fact any other meeting
in Iowa for the last ten years will
show so stupid and SO impotent
manifestation of fanaticism rs that
embodied in the above resolutions.
Here is the avowal of purpose so
far as the authors of these resolutions
can do it, to crush out any paper that
will not submit to be dictated to as
to the views it shall express, and
shall refuse to become the special
advocate Of the brewing interest.
Worse than this, difference of opin-
ion is not to be tolerated in the COM
munity any more than in the news
papers. a black list is to be made
out, of those who honestly dissent
from the sentiment expressed by the
three dozen brewers assembled at
Des Moines, to the effect that upon
the unlimited manufacture and sale
of malt liquors depend "the pros
perity of the country, as well as the
progressive development of true
morality to its citizens All persons
who have the temerity to prominent
ly take issue with this postulate, are
to be singled out for prescription and
possible vengeance, and treated in all
respects as dangerous public enemies
and outcasts from society. We ask
any candid reader if he ever heard
of such fragrant intolerance and fan
atheism from representative body
of temperance men. And these men
who thus propose to muzzle the press
and all public sentiment adverse to
their particular craft, are complain
ing of attacks upon their personal
liberty" But they will find that the
policy embodied in the above resolu-
tons will not take in this country.
The press in some of the cities may
be subsidized or bullied into the po-
sition of lackeys for special interests,
but generally press and people will
think their honest thoughts and cx-
press their honest convictions despite
the brewers or any body else.

idea himself and never gave anyone
the slightest warrant for supposing
that he would take the nomination if

if he had ever been asked by any
authoritive body he would have de-
clined to be considered a candidate
