which was kept at Cedar Rapids last
year has been taken to Waterloo, where

eral miles above Waterloo. The Lady

night of the Fourth, taking portion of
the contents of the box therein deposit

Orders have been issued from the
headquarters of the Iowa Pacific rail
road to remove the rails and other ma
terial from the fifteen miles of the road
extending from the mouth of the Turkey
river to Elkport. This means the aban-
donment of the enterprise, the cause be-
ing that it is proftless investment as
it is, and there is no hope of obtaining
money for its extension.
DELAWARE COUNTY.
The Press says that 100 barrels of
water were drank on the celebration
grounds in that town on the Fourth.
That crowd must have been big and
powerful dry.
A short horn grade COW belonging to
K. NJ. Marvin, of Manchester, gave 1884
pounds of milk during the month of
June, little over 46 pounds per day.

has gone with his mother to England to
spend couple of months visiting and
sight seeing.
The Press records rascally act of
vandalism on the part of some party yet
unknown, in defacing fine monument
in the cemetery at Manchester. The
wretches daubed it with mud and stain
ed it with the juice of fresh grass, so
that it will be impossible to restore it's
original beauty.
The Press estimates the numbers
present at Manchester on the Fourth at
5000.

The Louisiana Indictment.

The State Register having tauntingly
demanded to hear from the Republican
papers who support the Southern poll
cy as to what they think Of the indict-
ment and arrest of the members of the
Returning Board, and how they like the
"conciliatory results of the policy in
Louisiana" the Gate CITY responds
with promptness as follows. The an
swer is explicit enough to suit the most
exacting:
First: The Grand Jury at New Or
leans has indicted the four members OF
the State Returning Board for perjury
and making false returns, and held each
to bail for trial in the sum of $1,000
each.
Second: The Grand Jury has or has
not the lawful power to do this. In Ell
Their case we are perfectly willing that
it should have taken this step. For,
first, it is right and proper that every
official in this land, members of Return
ing Boards as well as others, should be
held accountable to regular process OF
law for their action, and should be pun
ished if they do wrong. Secondly, it
the members of the Grand jury are con-
WINGED that the members of the Return
ing Board violated the law, and that it
is within their jurisdiction to indict
them, they should do so. Thirdly, if
there is no warrant of law for this in
dictment, and it is merely inquisitorial
and an act Of persecution, then this
fact will be made fully to appear as the
result of judicial inquiry. Fourthly, it
will be worth while to find whether and
to what extent local courts and author
tiles have supervision over the legal pro-
cesses and machinery by which a Presi
dent is chosen. Filthy, If there was
any agreement in the Louisiana settle
ment of which this Indictment is a vio-
lation that the members of the Return
ing Board should be exempt from pros
ecution it would look like that agree
ment would be in violation of public
morals, and we have no objection to its
being passed under legal review. Sixth
ly, if Hayes title won't stand this and
every other legal inquiry, then, certain
ly, in Gods name, no honest man in the
land, no man outside of the penitentia-
ry, should wish to suppress the due pro-
cess of law and legal inquiry because it
might cloud Hayes title. Seventhly,
those New Orleans Grand Jurors are
lawful citizens and officials; we are per-
fectly willing that they should discharge
their official duties without fear or ia
vor. Mr.. Senator Grover is, we are glad
to know, amenable to official investiga-
ton as to the method of his election to
the Senate as well as to his conduct in
connection with the electoral body in
Oregon. Let the Investigation go on
and let him pay the penalty if he has
done wrong SO Madison Wells and his
Returning Board associates are doubt
less amenable to official investigation as
to their official conduct. Let that in
vestigation go on, and let them pay the
penalty if wrong has been done. If not
let the right be indicated And if any
disclosure is made which invalidates
Hayes title then let his title and his Of
fee be surrendered.

J. FRED MYERS, of the Denison Re
ri'e,r, who was present at the Republi-
can State convention, and who, while an
opponent of the Presidents Southern
policy, is a candid and cool headed OBJ
server, adds the weight Of his testimony
against the construction sought to be
put upon the action of the convention
by the rabid anti-policy men. He says:
The voting down of the resolution indorsing
the Southern policy had no political signiti-
canoe, as the friends as well us the opponents
of the measure shouted AYE on the question
10 lay on the table OF this, however, we feel
assured, that if any resolution had been
brought forward in good faith in eulogy of the
policy, it would have been defeated, though
we are not so sure whether resolve condemn
ing it could have been passed.

FRANK KYLE, Treasurer of Howard

FRANK KYLE, Treasurer of Howard
county, has eoptrived to kick up quite a
sensation the past week, One day he
was reported drowned at McGregor
while bathing in the Mississippi, com
panion or confederate saying positively
that he saw him 60 down. The next
day it transpired that he was not drown
ed at all, but that the report was put
out to enable him to swindle an insurance
company out of $4,000. The third day
this report was modified to the effect
that it was not to swindle the insurance
company that the farce of drowning was
enacted, but that it was an incident in
woman scrape, and thus the matter
stands at the last report. Meantime
Kyle has kited out of the country in
disguise and cannot be heard from

TIE would be martyr, of the State
Register, says that the BULLETIN is
playing the lick-spittle to the admins
tration, for the purpose of keeping the
post office This is on the theory that
an office can only be retained under this
administration by display of subservi-
cncy and fattery of the appointing pow
er. If this theory be correct, will the
Register explain why it is that it is suf-
fered to retain the post Office of Des
Moines, while yet it Is waging a crazy,
vindictivc and dishonest warfare upon
the administration. When it has solved
this problem, perhaps the Register will
deign to inform the public why from re-
lentless enmity and scorn toward John
A. kasson it came to be his most obse-
Iulous vassal and toady. Here is a
chance to open up whole volume of
lickspittle illustration.

THE editor of the Marshall Times has learned
direct from his own mouth" that the vener-
able Hon. Coker Il. ClarksOn Is IAN original,
thorough-blooded Hayes man. and gives to
the Des Moines Register, edited by his sons, mo
comfort in its opposition to the Administra-
ton" Thus is illustrated the truth of the
apothegm, "Old men for counsel and young
men for-folly.- Davenport Gazette.
The same fact was reported to us by
a delegate at the State Convention, who
told us that the senior Clarkson said,
the boys were crazy on that question"

was published upwards of week ago,

TREspAssING PUNIsHED.-There is a
clause in the State law concerning the
occupation of unclaimed lands, or tax
ing crops therefrom, that is not general
ly understood. The State Register makes
the announcements: Neither the fence
nor the herd law protects man who
trespasses upon unimproyed prairie,
cut or hauls away grass or hay While
animals can trespass upon such proper
ty and eat grass with impunity, the pen
atty is severe for cutting grass. Section
1888 of the Code provides that taking
and carrying from such land any grass,
hay, corn, etc, shall be punished by fine
exceeding one year The penalties for
taking grass is next to that of horse
stealing, and yet how frequently is this
law violated both ignorantly and will

in deciding where they shall spend it bal
ancemost carefully the attractions and the
cost of all resorts accessible to them. The
result of their calculations is shown in
the meagre lists or arrivals at Watering
place hotels and the full lists of the pass
engers on board outgoing steamers. 1t
has happened in several conspicuous in
stances lately, and it is fair to presume
that it has happened in many more in
stances not conspicuous, that man who
has only six weeks to spare concludes
that he will "get more for his money
and make more of his time by giving
nearly half that time to two ocean voy-
ages and spending the remainder in Eu-
rope than by giving the whole of it to a
watering-place hotel. 1t is, of course,
true thst man with whom cheapness is
controlling consideration can pass his
holiday in a country boarding house
more cheaply than in any other way
open to him. But it is also true that he
can go to Europe for three months more
cheaply than he can pass three months
in hotels at Saratoga, at Long Branch, at
Newport, or divided between those re-
sorts. Nobody hesitates between coun-
try boarding-house and Europe, or be-
tween a.country,b, ding-house and afash
ionable watering place. Many people
hesitate between Europe and the fashion
able wateiing-places, and the passenger
lists as compared with the arrivals show
the results of that hesitation. For the
keepers of watering-place hotels, there
fore, there can be no more profitable
reading than these same lists and the
comparison which they invite.
