The Real Issue.

Washington Letter to Springfield Republican.
The real issue between two civiliza-
tons Northern and Southern. Shall
the intelligence, wealth and Christianity
of the great North continue to govern
this nation, or shall the ignorance of the
South take possession of the Govern
ment? For one, with the census on our
side, have no fears that Democrats,
such as | see in Congress from the
South and the North, can long govern
this nation. 1t is impossible. Either
they will rapidly improve, or they will
go into minority because of their in
competence.
The constant endeavor OF certain
Democrats in the House to make it APP
pear that the Democratic party is eco
nomical and honest cannot deceive any
body but those who wish to be deceived.
Both parties are alike bad in some re-
spects. The leaders of both as seen in
Congress and out of it, are selfish and
hypocritical, but the masses are better
than their leaders, and this is particu-
iarly SO In the Republican party The
House Republicans are struggling for
the next House, and if they get it it
will be because Of the general distrust
of the Democratic leaders. Take Mr.
Tilden, for instance the Demo
Gratis in Congress distrust to be man
of lofty character.

AFTER several weeks of threatening
and delay, the Democrats of the lower
House of Congress have finally launch
ed the thunder-bolt from the effect Of
which they hope to make infinite capital
for the next Presidential contest Mr.
Potter, Of New York, on Monday, intro
duced string of resolutions, based on
the action of Montgomery Blair's legis
lature, directing the investigation of al
legged frauds in the election and canvass
of Florida and Louisiana. Mr.. Hale
sought to introduce an amendment en-
larging the sphere of the investigation,
and including States where there were
evidences of Democratic frauds. This
was not consistent with the Democratic
programme. which was to make the in
yestigation a one-sided affair, which
should assiduously seek for evil
licences of Republican corruption and
just as assiduously cover up Democrat

allow the introduction of Hales amend
ment. Mr.. Garfield, on behalf of the
Republicans, pledged them to vote
unanimously for the resolution, provid-
ed it was to take in all the cases where
there is real bona fide allegation and be-
lief by large body of the people, of
frauds fully as great as those charged
in Florida and Louisiana. Still the De-
mocracy refused, whereupon the Repub-
licans refused to vote, thus preventing
quorum. Whether the Democrats will
succeed in driving in enough of their alb
sentees to form quorum to pass the
resolutions, is yet uncertain.

A Remarkable Result.

1t makes no difference how many Ply
sicians, or how much medicine you have
tried, it is now an established fact that
German Syrup is the only remedy which
has given complete satisfaction in Sc
we're cases of Lung Diseases. 1t is true
there are yet thousands of persons who
are predisposed to Throat and Lung
Affections, Consumption, Hemorrhages,
Asthma, Severe Colds settled on the
Breast, Pneumonia, Whooping Cough,
NC, who have no personal knowledge Of
Boshee's German Syrup. TO such we
would say that $4,000 dozen were sold
last year without one complaint. Con-
sumptives, try just one bottle. Regular
size, Is cents. Sold by all Druggists in
America. For sale by G. r. WALLACE,
at the City Drug Store, Independence,

1t is perfectly absurd to say that
many who are now going into bankrupt
cy have been ruined by the hard times.
They have been bankrupt for years, and
some of them never had anything to be-
gin with. The prospect of the repeal of
the bankrupt law is bringing them out,
and it is for the benefit of business to
have the dead wood cleared away.
We are on the eve of prosperous
era. With solid basis of financial GER
tainty, with values accurately determ-
ined, thrift and economy enforced, the
country will make long advance. If
this city and county are to get the ben
eft Of the opportunity in the highest
degree, taxation must be reduced very
much, and the city and county expenses
must be cut down.-lndaandpoIs Ne,os

JEFF. DAVIS SLEEPING CAR ADvEN-
TURE.-George w. Trice, the Pullman
car conductor in charge of the train in
which the Iowa editors made their Texas
trip, was the conductor who detected
jeff. Davis in his scandalous adventure
in sleeping car running out of Mem
phis several years ago Mr.. Trice con-
firmed the published reports of the
affair, and told also how the officers of
the Carolina Life Insurance Company,
of which Davis was then President, en-
deavored to induce him to say he was
mistaken about the man occupying the
lady's berth being JEFF. Davis. They
said it was scandal on Southern socie-
ty and appealed to Trice as a Southern
man Che having been Confederate) to
relieve the whole Southern people of the
shame, but he was memorable, because,
as he told us, the statement was true,
and he could not be mistaken about
Davis being the guilty man. Trice was
afterwards assaulted on this account by
the rebel General 1--WE believe his name
was Murray who defended Mobile, and
in the ARRAY the General received
wounds from a poker in the hands Of
Trice and from kicks on the head which
caused his death. Trice told us these
incidents in detail, not in boastful
way, but in reply to inquiries after we
had accidentally learned from another
source that he was party to these
strange events, which occupied so much
public attention at the time and which
proved the social immortality of the
chosen head of the Confederacy.-Mus.

When we see a paper assume, as an
undoubted and proven fact, as does the
State Register, that Beecher was guilty
of the crime charged, and improves ev-
cry opportunity to assert his guilt and
denounce him in the bitterest terms, it
shakes our faith in anything it may say
ON any subject. We can't escape the
conviction that 1t may be just as wrong
on any other subject ON which it talks
as dogmatically, and hence unreliable.
It is brilliant, enterprising paper, but
for the above reason it carries but very
little weight with us in its opinions

SENATOR ALLISON one day last week
presented to the Senate a telegram,
signed by number of the principal
business men in Dubuque, saying that
"nine-tenths of the square business men
of Iowa demand the immediate and un-
conditional repeal of the bankrupt act. .
This way of assuming to speak for Iowa

j. w. SHANNON, of the Elkaker Jour-

journalism recently delivered lecture
at DEBORAH, of which the Republican
speaks in the following complimentary
terms:
The course is representative one,
composed of one member from each of
the professions. If the lawyer, banker
and clergyman, who will follow him,
shall select as timely themes, and clothe
them in words as fifty chosen, the course
will be the most valuable ever delivered
in DEBORAH. The members of the Dist
Association may feel assured that their
President has done them honor. 1t is a
lecture which can and should be repeat
ed in all our communities.

Mr.. SAMUEL KLEIN, Trustee Of the

the Gate City that that institution is so
over-crowded that the Board do not
know what to do with the patients.
There are 635 inmates, many more than
the Legislature has enabled it to pro-
vide for. Yet when representatives
Of these over-crowded institutions last
winter asked for appropriations with
which to provide enlarged accommoda-

admission, they were assailed by dema-
gogues in the Legislature-who thus
hoped to make little capital for them
selves-as members of ring formed

Important Iowa Railroad Transfer.
From the Dubuque Times, 9th.

rIoII tiic DuDtuuc llulcS, StH
1t appears that the Dubuque South
western Railroad has been sold to the
Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad Compa-
ny, or to parties who represent that cor
poration. The General manager and
other prominent officers of the Milwau-
kee & St. Paul Railroad Company pass
ed through Dubuque yesterday morning
on their way to Cedar Rapids on bust
ness connected with the transfer of the
Southwestern road. 1t is thought by
some that this is move of the Mil
waukee Co. to get into Dubuque The
purchase of this road will be practical
extension Of the Western Union to
Cedar Rapids, and will prove a valuable
connection to the Milwaukee & St. Paul.
Whether it has any greater significance
than this at present, is only a matter of
speculation. But it has certainly been
the policy of the Milwaukee 4 St. Paul
Company to extend it's lines in Iowa
during the last few years, and it is to be
hoped this enterprising corporation will
ultimately get into Dubuque.
