Is He the Right Man!

We have advocated the nomination of another
gentleman to succeed Hon. Willard Davis a,
Attorney General of the State, and We think
there is good reason why change should be
made. The Attorney General is the legal advis-
or of the State officers. Upon all legal points,
they are bound to be governed by his advice
and he is not to be dictated to by any other off
Ger, or to be used Us mere tool to furnish any
officer with quibble for doing that which is not
authorized by law. How is it with Mr.. Davis
The crusade of the Governor against certain
Trustees of the charitable institutions, for the
purpose of making political capital, develops the
sort of an Attorney General he is.
Messrs. Taylor and Lanter, two of the Trus-
tees implicated, publish a statement of the trans
actions. They say that they applied to the Aud
itor for a warrant to draw money from the funds
from which they took their pay, but that the
Auditor refused their request, upon the ground
that he doubted its legality; that they went
to Gov. Anthony, representing the matter
as it stood, and requested him to use his influ-
ence with the Attorney General to decide the
proceeding legal; that Anthony interviewed the
Attorney General, whereupon the latter went
with one of the Trustees to the State Auditor
and advised him to issue the warrants, as desr-
ed. But the Governor, learning that these Trus-
tees were opposed to his denomination, sudden
ly discovers that the money paid as he ordered
his Attorney General to decide was legal,
was unauthorized by law, and in his great
zeal for the interests of the State, requests
his Attorney General to mako an exhaustive
examination as to the criminal and civil Ii
ability (he is always trying to catch some
body in n criminal act y of the Trustees, and if
found that they are liable, to bring action at
once for the recovery of the money, in the name
Of the State. The Attorney General at once
made the exhaustive examination, and discover
ed, of course, that the act which lie had advised
was illegal, and reported to the Governor that
he had prepared the necessary papers to COM
mence action for the recovery of the money.
If Attorney General Davis is merely a puppet
in the hands of Gov. Anthony, to do his bid
ding, and to decide act legal one day, and
criminal the next, as the exgencies of the Gov
ernor's situation demands, he had better be sent
adrift with the Governor, and a man elected in
his place who knows something about law aud
has the backbone to give his decisions accord
ing to law, please or displease whom they may.
Personally, We have no doubt that Attorney
General Davis is a gentleman. But while some
of his newspaper supporters are making false
charges against Judge Price, one of his compet-
tors, designed to injure his ch aracter as well as
his political chances, they have not attempted
to show that Price is not an accomplished law
yer, and q man who cannot be swerved from the
right at the dictation of an Executive who as
sumes to run all the departments of the State.

THE CoMMUNE.-It is again stated that a
general strike throughout the country is to take
place August 18th; that railroads are to be stop
ped running, manufacturing establishments sus-
pended, banks gutted, &c. 1t is said that this
was to have taken place on the 18th of June, but
that the military preparations to meet it were
too exten sive. If this were intended at the time
set it is hardly probable tn at those in the secret
would make it known. But it may come, any

II DIR. Hopkins has communication in last
weeks Bulletin, proclaming his Interchangeable

make an aggressive warfare even to calling their
opponents murderers, thieves, etc. The Dr. has
a right to his opinion; but we want to cali the
attention of Greenbackers to this. The Dr., a
month ago, was leading Greenhacker, and was
appointed delegate to the Greenback State
Convention, through the wire-pulling of certain
Greenback leaders; and he attended that Con-

take notice. How much proof will it require to
convince them that certain of the Greenback

II 1t is reported that Gordon, the s25 biog.

at Hiawath. If the Democracy of Brown Coun-
ty are sharp, they will not want a paper, but
will encourage the Herald in its course of opp os-
ing and abusing every Republican who has any
life in him. 1t was such positive damage to
the Democratic party of Doniphan County, when
the Ba'letin quit playing Republican, and came
out openly Democratic, that they got SO mad
they wouldn't endorse it rs a Democratic paper.

Robins, OF Topeka, has commenced suit against
Anthony for money embezzled by the New York

n Jim Lawtou, of Carrollton, No., seems to
have an ambition to eat bread made from the
standing wheat, in the briefest possible space Of
time Several weeks ago, his wheat was ready
to cut. lie had his reaper on the ground, q
thresher close at hand, within a few rods of a
mill, and his wife and niece had their baker hot,
and their pans ready. A peck Of wheat was cut,
threshed, and ground, and the first griddle cake
turned out in 3 minutes and IS seconds fir ON the
starting of the reaper, and pan of biscuits made
from the same flour, was set before the specta-

what claim he has upon the Republican party

convince the Herald of his sound Republicanism,
to state the fact that he was spending his time

party, when the Hiawatha Herald was support

not divide the party in this District, but he
would poll from 1900 to 5000 more votes than
