How Muchq

From the very jealous manner in which
the Union advocates the funding scheme
it looks little bit as though it had con-
tra:t. What per cent of the newly funded
illegal debt (if any portion of it is illegai)
is our neighbor to get, if the contract is
fulfilled2
By the way-will the Union please re-
member that THE ARGUS has never said
that any portion of the debt is illegal?
But for the last five years, to our certain
knowledge, illegal indebtedness has been
contracted every year, Whether it has
been paid or not we can not say. We
wish those who contracted it were COM
PEELED to pay it-no matter who they are
as an example to those who hold office
after them. We know, too, that illega
! indebtedness has been contracted every
day during the past municipal year, and il
still being contracted We wish those wht
are contracting it had it to pay-as tina
would soon compel our servants to observ'
the law and not be law-breakers every da!
of their official lives.
The debt is 100000 greater than W,
haYe legal right to owe. Of course mel
who are getting 10 per cent interest ar
not going to take the new bonds at pc
cent-but if the bonds can be sold at par
then, of course, with the money thus oh
tanned the indebtedness can be paid. Blu
there is no evidence that the bonds can b
sold at par. If they can, it would be
good idea to carry out the plan proposed
as far as funding what the city legal
owes What it does not legally owe
ought not to pay-and ought to stop pay
ing interest on illegal debt. There is
very general impression that the debt
not wholly legal debt, And there
also a very general impression that tn
trick by which the water bonds were issue
was also illegal. 1t was a mean trick. any
how, whether legal or not, and those VIII
played it on the people ought to suffer
little for it.

which lies half buried in the ground in the
public road at Rockingham, just below

For some time past negotiations have
been going on between the friends of Mr.

removal of the rock from where it now
lies to the family lot at the cemetery. Il
is thought the stone will weigh about &c

Gen. a. C. Dodge, OF Iowa.

lfthere is any man in Iowa who deserves
the respect and good will of every man in
that state, irrespective of party, it is the
distinguished statesman whose name
stands at the head of this item, and we
take great pleasure in copying the follow
ing, in relation to him, from the Iona
State Leader, published at Des Moines
The State Register goes out of it's way
some distance to attack the Hon. A. g..
Dodge. AS Iowa has had but one sena-
tor since his time who has been his equal
Hon. james ". Grimes-and doesn't
bid fair to have another who will reflect
such honor upon the state during the
quarter of a century to come, its time
would better be occupied in training some
man who shall be his equal rather than
deriding his age and ability. 1t will al
ways be matter of cong-atulation to the
people of Iowa that the first senator from
this state was a man of such conspicuous
honor that political detraction was never
able to level its shafts at him and that he
still survives at a green old age and is
everywhere recognized as an honest and
able man. This is more than can be said
for the Harlans and some others who have
been and are senators from Iowa.
