What They Want.

Talk with Republican in this vicinity
and find out if you can what they want.
Since all the negroes in the South have
drifted into the Democratic party it is
significant that the Republican papers of
the North begin to manifest deep interest
in elevating the suffrage and speak
favorably of an educational, and even of a
property qualification. What they want
really is a political qualification. and if the
desire of their hearts could be realized, the
most ignorant and corrupt man in the
country would be permitted to vote, pro-
vided he swallowed the Republican ticket
whole, and the most intelligent and honest
man would be barred from the ballot box
if he brought democratic ticket in his
hands.

"Who froa, dat Rr,ck3"

If you SHE a rock into a crowd, and
somebody yells, it is pretty fair evidence
that some one is hit and, when somebody
comes up with hands clenching that same
rock and with wrath in his soul, it is
very easy matter to guess who has been
hurt. This is about the situation of the
U1aioR on the school question. Some peo-
pie have come to the conclusion that just
because Capt. McKowen had evangelical
notices read in the schools and watched out
for situations for good Baptists, he does not
exactly own the schools. The Union dis

An Intelligent Marshal.

About three months ago Marshal Halves
received telegram from the city marshal
of Iowa City asking him to arrest barber
named Charles Eibing, who was supposed
to be 10 this vicinity, as he was wanted in
Iowa City for larceny. Halves arrested
the man, and after he had been in jail
over night, word was received that he was
not wanted in Iowa City, and he was dis
charged. The man went to Moline and
has been working there ever since, going
by his true name.
A few days ago the Intelligent city
marshal of Moline, j. G. Wells-probably
finding an old postal card from the Iowa
City marshal asking for Eibings arrest
at last discovered that Eibing was in his
town, and he was arrested and locked up
in the calaboose. Word being sent to
Iowa City of the arrest, an answer was re
ceived saying that Eibing was not wanted.
Of course Eibing was released. and now,
owing to the oficious importance that Mo
lines intelligent" marshal displayed
while making the arrest, he threatens to
sue him for false imprisonment Wells i:
