Circuit Court,

Judge Leland's protracted illness has virtually
closed the business Of the term. It is barely
possible, but not at all probable that he may be
able TO dispose of few motions next week
The chances are, however, that lie will not have
the physical strength to do go, and we fear Will
not be able to open court in Bureau county the
week following.

The flow OF the artcsian well in the Court,
House yard having materially weakened OF late,
il was decided few days ago to take up the
tubing, ascertain what was the matter and fur;
nish the well with new tubing. The present
tubing had been in the well seven or eight years
and was naturally supposed to be greatly de-
cayed. On getting it up, however, it was found
that though slightly decayed it was still without
any leaks, and the cause Of the diminished foW
must be attributed 10 the decay OF the seed
bag" and not of the tubing. New tubing, how
aver, is being put in, with india rubber packing
at the bottom in lieu Of n sesd bag, when doubt
less the well will resume business with It's wont
ed liberalitY.

work 70 be DOue.

Our Democratic apponents in Li.n
county, recognizing the hand writing
on the wall, are clamoring loudly fer
the organization Of their party adher-
ents. for the coming June election.
Mono know so we'll as the Democratic
party leaders in Linn county tlat the
tables are about to be turned, that their
day Of grace has expired, and that a
new and healthy change is about taking
place in the political atmosphere of
Linn county, so long ruled with an
iron hand by the Democratic party.
From emigration, detection from the
party ami other causes, Democracy in
Linn is about to succumb to the inev-
liable, and give mp the reigns OF power
to trustier and more capable hands.
But while there seems to be no doubt
that the Republican party OF Linn to-
day outnumbers its opponents in nu-
merical strength, yet it is just as GER
tain that its organization is far inferior
to that of its opponents. To secure a
certain and sweeping victory in the
coming canvass, the Republicans of
Linn must take steps looking to full
and complete organization in every
precinct in the county. And this can
not be done too soon. Republicans OF
Linn. let US wake up to complete
realization of the facts before us; let
each man do his duty, and there need
be no Tear for the result.

You see, the ca.clling of criminal Is
purely philosophical matter. The detective
knows that every man has woman aDont
him, and that the wOlllan is certain co 60
to the man. He catches the woman first.
An experienced thief however. IS harder
to catch, for lie knows alliabout il as well a :
the detective does; lis wifi. would 20 more
go straight to her man than she would give
him to the police. Tor she knows that she is
being watched. She never oeS ont except
when she must. and she doubles, and turns
like fox that the trail may not be discov-
cred. II issa sharp detective that c:ln fol-
low the track Of AN experienced thief - vile
or mistress. She knows that she Is eolisio-
cred as a very important party, aud she
watches herself. Just az closely as the tt11ef
does himself. But Beckwith was not an
experienced thief and so he was caught
without trouble.
BUSINESS
Continues worse than ever, il possible.
Why don t the people come and buy Don't
they wear any more clothes Don't they
eat or drink Why is it? There are a
few merchants in tie hotels. and few
buyers seen about the wholesale houses.
but the few that come only buy Just what
they have to have. to say they have stock.
and they want that little on such terms as
no merchant can live at. The change In
the rates of freight, west, will make some
difference, bnt fancy the trouble lies deep
er than freights. It costs too much to do
business here, and New York will never
get her business hack till everything comes
down to hard-paT The hotels must drop
their rates. the theatres mnst come down
TO anferwar prices..an all the expenses of
coming TO the city, staying here. and get
ting ont again must be lowered to some
thing like the old times. Then people will
come here again, and business viii revive.
New York has been too greedy. and has
killed the goose that laid its golden egg.
There ia such n thing as presuming too
much OH natural advantages. 1t is to be
hoped that the spring will bring revival,
but it is a dreary wait, PlETfso.

10 view of the fact that the State
election is approaching, isn't it about
time that Republicans were organizing
for ,victcry2 Our Democratic friends
are beginning already to wake up to the
Importance of organizing, being stimu.
lated thereto by their party organs. It
seems to be recognized fact, admitted
By all honest men, that the Republican
party has large majority of the voters
of the State, at the same time the Demo-
cratic journals claim that by thcir SUI
perior organization, they expect to gain
the victory. IF the party goes into the
coming fight unorganized or only par.
tally 50, although really having large
majority of the voters in the State,
victory may not perch upon les ba9nera
but With thorough and compsote OF.
ganization success il assured beyond tho
possibility Of q doubt. Let leading
Republicans of every precinct takc this
matter under adSisement at once, as
with thorough organization, sound men
can be selected a. candidates for the
various offices. and elected with ease.
With the nomination of capable, re.
liable, honest men, and complete or
ganization, the success OF the Republi-
can party in June, by an overwhelming
vote, cannot be doubted. To secure
both of these desirable results, We Insist
that organization of the rank and file OF
the party is OF the 6rss necessity with
out organization neither result may be
possible.

In the recent amnesty debate in Con-
gross, led on the one hand by Blaine,
and on the other by Randall, Blaine is
acknowledged on all sides to have
completely demolished his opponent-it
was Waterloo def at. POOR Randall
and Hill were oyermatched and they
met with a terrible castigation. at the
hands of Blaine And it is amusing to
see how the leading Democratic jour
mails of the East go for Randall and
Hills scalpe. Instead of comforting
words and coincidence in their trouble,
their party journals assure them that
the debate was iIl-tianed aud unpard.

matched IN ability ard skill IN debate;
that through their defeat the Demo

back, which will require years OF care
