The public is fully aware of Judge TOman's
little personal spite against Mr.. Cooley, and has
no care for or sympathy with it: Any further
public allusion to It would only have the effect
Of raising Mr.. Cooley in the respect of the
public, and of lowering Mr.. TOman in a cores
ponding ratio.-Postcile Reriem.
The zeal Of the Rerie,c in the cause
of Cooley is little too conspicuous.
Why it should attack us personally, and
to do SO, should lug in matter to which
we have made no reference, we cannot
imagine We are not aware that we
have any personal spite" against Cool
ey. We do not know that he every did
anything that should excite on our part
a desire for mere revenge. Our feelings
toward him are Of an entirely different
character. In common with at least
one-half of the Republicans of the Dis
trict who know him, we regard him as
an utterly corrupt and INSCRIPTIONS
man, who by the use of wealth dishon-
estly acquired, is endeavoring to corrupt
the Republican party to serve his ambi-
ton. Having, as it happened, had OPP
portunity to become intimately acquain-
ted with his knavish methods and the
INSCRIPTIONS tools he employs in his
political werk, we are, perhaps, little
more outspoken in protest against his
endorsement by the Republican party
than some of our contemporaries, but as
we have taken no special credit to our
selves, or questioned the motives of 9TH
ers, we cannot see why we should be
made the subject of skulking attack
like that in the above paragraph. AS
we said before, Mr.. Burdick's zeal is a
little too pronounced to look well. He
should be well-fortiied who hurls bomb
shells at his neighbors. Burdick's po-.
sition is not so clear but that some are
ascribing his super-abundant devotion
to Cooley to unworthy motives. We
believe this judgment to be unjust, but
the fact that it exists should teach him
to be more tolerant of the motives of
others.

THE Dubuque Times, in recent arti-
Gle on the candidates for the nomination
for Congress, has the following in ref
erence to Mr.. DOnnan:
We agree with our DEBORAH neighbor
that Mr. Donnan has been "unjustly
condemned" for taking the increased
salary provided by law of Congress
which he opposed vigorously at every
step, and spoke against it, and worked
against, and voted against, but which
passed in spite of bin. There are but
few men outside of that select few
known as "Reformers" who would not
have done exactly as Mr. Donnan did
take the salary provided by law. While
men may denOunce the law which raised
the Congressional salary, no fair minded
man, now that the passions of those
days have subsidized, will condemn the
taking what was voted in spite of the
opposing members voice and votes. We
are frank to say that we have not ar
rived at that giddy altitude of saintli-
ness where we would refuse what the
law gave us; such illustrations Of bea-
tifc sanctifcation we are content to
leave to brother Ham and his crowd of
political angels

Answer them with Facts.

Ou1CU8O 1Oot.
The little learning which it is the pol
icy OF the State to place within the
reach Of every one, is likely to prove a
dangerous thing for the country. 1t is
more arrogant and aggressive than ignor-
ance, and quite as likely to 60 astray.
Communism is the error of ignorance,
the dogma Of fat money! Of limited
education. The common schools are not
adapted nor intended to fit their pupils
to grapple with problems of State or
finance. Yet this is precisely the sum
OF the education of the greater part of
the farming community, among whom
the imitation doctrines find their strongest
following Farmers have other work on
hand than self education in book lore.
They must Of necessity accept the con-
illusions derived from the work and in
vestigations of others.
Demagogues, knowing this, through a
partial statement or a misstatement OF
facts, have stirred up their prejudices
and aroused their hostility against the
commercial classes and the money Of
commerce to a degree that promises
grave consequences. The farmers would
not for a moment countenance fraud
which presents itself as such. They
lend themselves to it through an entire
misapprehensiOn of the facts. Herein
lies the wisdom of the movement of the
Honest Money League" 1t endeavors
to lay before the people the facts in
their true light, believing that whatever
is shown to be right the people will
maintain. Let the fallacies Of imitation
be combated by flooding the country
with pamphlets which shall expose the
character of the men who are engineer
ing the greenback movement, and the
falsehoods upon which they rely. The
farmers are not lacking in either homes
ty or sagacity, but they do not have, mol
are they in position to obtain, the
facts on which fair judgment should
be based Let them know the history
of fiat money" in the past. Give them
the results of imitation as shown in Eu
rope. They will then appreciate the
fact that the schemes which are obtain
ing their support are neither new mol
wise. They will discover that at the
present time there are very few new
things under the sun in financial vaga.

THIS from the Lansing Mirror

:The Mirror, speaking for itself as a
Republican paper, proposes to support
the nominee of the party, and to render
all possible service to the Republican
cause. 1t does not believe that cause
can be advanced by taking sides with
either of the candidates presumed to be
in the field; certainly not by urging rea-
sons of personal character. We can
heartily support either of the gentlemen
prominently named as candidates. We
have no fault to find with those who
have expressed "a choice, but we con-
tend, in the interests OF the party, for
fair and square treatment OF all men,"
The above is little vague. What
does the Mirror mean by reasons of a
personal character and by fair and
square treatment of all men, Does it
mean that there should be no discussion
of the dement's Of men who may offer
themselves for Republican nominations,
and does it pretend that all men who

Is IT any wonder that the red hand of
Communism is boldly shown in many
sections of our country, ready to engage
in wholesale robbery, regardless of all
property rights, when it finds the Green
back party eagerly listening to, and Of
ten approving the written and spoken
utterances of NJ. NJ. Pomeroy, who
signs himself as 'Organizing chairman
Of the National Greenback Committee, "
to circulars containing the following
sentiments:
"Organize Greenback clubs, with bayonets in
reserve" 1.-The sun of 1880 shall never rise on
this Republic as it now stands" I'VE can
unite and whip them into submission; we can
clean them out; and We deserve to have your
banks broken open, your homes plundered and
your fll-gOtten gains stolen, We eastern money
lords, and We shall have this for your repast in
the near future"
Can sensible, thoughtful men be found
honoring the man who utters such afro
cious sentiments, by following his polit-
zeal lead? And yet there is no man
more prominent or active in the Green
back cause than ''Brick' Pomeroy.

fact entitled to immunity from examin-

be for the men, is it "fair and square

THE DEBORAH Radical comes out for
Cooley for Congress, and in flush Of
enthusiasm, declares that he is "a large
hearted, liberal man." Ahem; we re-

similar import about four years ago, and
now that we think of it, he put peculiar
stress upon the word liberal"

Cooley Tactics in Dubuque.

The ex-Indian Commissioner and his
obedient lackey, "Vic" Williams, the
same individual who was his agent in
the purchase of influence through the
district four years ago, are carrying
things with high hand in Dubuque
county Fearful of the result of a fair
and open contest with the supporters of
Judge Wilson for the delegation to the
McGregor Convention, Cooley and his
gang have procured the calling of the
county convention to meet on the 18th
inst, six weeks before the Congressional
convention. Not content with this, they
caused calls to be issued for eau
cusses in wards in which Cooley
had already fixed up things" fully
nine days before the meeting of the
county convention All this was done
to carry the county by snap judgment,
before Judge Wilson's forces could
have time to organize for a fair cam
paign. The consequence is that Judge
Wilson has issued the following card,
which speaks for itself:
TO THE PUBLIC.
l hereby withdraw from the candidacy for
Congress in the Third District of Iowa.
The Republican County Convention has been
called for Friday, July II, 1878 nearly six weeks
prior to the Congressional Convention, and
three of the ward meetings have been called
to be held nine days prior to the County Con-
yin y<NFf hat
and city have already been canvassed in the in
terest OF another, which, with the unprece-
denied haste IN calling said convention and
required my undivided attention until within
few days, precluded my making any canvass
for the nomination.
To the numerous friends who have extended
to me their cordial support, 1 return my sin
cere thanks.
y ID. S. WILSON.
Dubuque, July I'd, 1878.
This scurvy conduct ON the part of
Cooley and his friends is plain confess
sion that they burst not trust his case
to fair. open canvass of his merits and
fitness, even in Dubuque; but are forced
to resort to sharp practice and chicanc-
ry to carry the delegation. AS might be
expected, much Indignation is manifest
ed over the dirty affair among decent
Republicans in Dubuque, the effect of
which will be seen at the polls if Cooley
shall capture the nomination We are
informed by one of the leading and in
fuential Republicans of that city, one
whose name would be accepted every
where as guaranty of his truth, that
there are from 300 to 500 Republicans
Of that city who will not vote for him if
nominated.

that Mr.. Bliedung's chances for

about a month, where they will winter, ct old

the agent will "have . hard road to travel"
when the troops leave, az there il some dis.
agreement among the Indians. All the
Osalalla Indians left the agency on the Goth
aud went over to Red Cloud. They NUM-
bored one hundred and fifty lodges. This.
desertion was caused by difficulty between
Spotted Tail and yellow Hair, the latter
chief Of the deserving Indians. No rations
are at Red Cloud for them aud it is feared
that they will make trouble before the prop.
Of, transfer papers can be arranged. The
Red Cloud Indians were encamped on the
north side Of White river. some twenty
miles from Rosebud. Quite q number Of
Spotted Tails Indians have deserted from
the rew agency and gone north to join
Sitting Bull. A few days before the letter
was written a squad Of ten or fifteen started
North, headed by Wooden knife. Red
Eagle and Forked Meat. Another de-
serter for Setting Bulls camp is Bad
Wild Horse, an enlisted Indian SOL
der and an especial f%svorite with officers
and soldiers. The writer, who has been
manv years in Spotted Tails camp, Gays his
Indians never before were 30 ~insolent as
now and never before wers in greater need

The situation seems 10 lie an exceedingly
critical one and much depends upon q wiser
policy than We have reason to expect out Of

between the Missouri river and the Black
