Certainly no other Republican in the district
can go out of Dubuque comfy with as many
votes into 1900 as Mr.. Cooley can; and we
opine that Just these votes will be needed this
fall .-POstpille ReUie,U.
Let us see about that. Suppose the
Republicans nominate Cooley; the Dem
ocrats will follow suit with Griffith.
Both live in Dubuque, both are rich
and neither are troubled with nice scru-
pies about employing their money cor
ruptly TO gain selfish ends. The cleo
ton in Dubuque will be stand-off,
with no material advantage for either
side. Now, how is it in the country?
Cooley cannot carry this Republican
county of Buchanan in any event. We
verify believe that for every Democratic
vote he would gain in Dubuque he would
lose Republican vote here. The same is
true to greater or less extent in Della
ware and Fayette counties. The best
Republicans in those counties say that
Cooley cannot carry anywhere near the
Republican strength. There is more or
less Of this feeling among the rank and
file of the party in all the counties of
the district, where Cooley and his record
are well known. With all this clap-trap
about gains in Dubuque, the fact is,
that he is the weakest candidate in the
field. because he lacks the essential
qualifications for strong Republican
candidate, character and principle. His
nopaination would not only bring disas-
ter, but it would be stigma upon any
honest constituency.

Lest some one should be led to
think from what | have SAID, that it is
easy to get living in Texas without
work, let me say, it is a mistake. Per-
sistent, hard work is as necessary to
success there as here. 1t is frequently
said of the country, that it is only nee
essary to tickle the ground with hoe
and it will laugh with harvest But |
have noticed that as soon as you stop
tickling, the land stops laughing. Well
tended crops pay well anywhere. We
saw crops in Texas that showed that the
owner had not tended them well. There
is considerable good land, and some that
is not so good, interspersed in this best
part OF Texas, as we are told. On the
ridges east OF the streams the soil was
generally thin, while on the slopes it
was better and as you went east toward
the next stream it was much better. No
one need go there thinking to get good
farm cheap. When man has good
piece of land he knows it, and fixes his
price accordingly The advantages of
Texas over this part of Iowa are the
fruit and the mild winters; the disad-
vantages are excessive dry and exces-
sive wet weather. This season has been
a very favorable one, and we saw the
country in very favorable time Oul
driver from Hillsboro to Waco said to
us: Il have been in this country now
twenty years, and | never saw so favor
able crops this time Of year before
and you might come here each year fol
twenty years more and probably would
not see as good again. Thus, we have
described it as we saw it; we nave told
you what the old inhabitants told us
If it shall have been of benefit to you
or your readers, we shall be gratifed.

An Air Boat.

HARTFORD, Conn, June 12.-The
first successful exhibition, it is believed,
ever given Of flying machine control
able by an aeronaut without the use of
ballast or the waste Of gas was given
here this afternoon in the presence OF
large assemblage. The machine is the
invention Of Prof. E. +. Richtel, Of
Bridgeport, Conn.,, who, after several
years Of experimenting, has solved the
problem which has so long defied inven-
tors and scientists. Those who witness
ed the exhibition believe that the right
principle is found, and that aerial navi-
CATION is only question Of time. Rich
tells machine differs from all previous
machines. It embraces balloon Of a
horizontal, cylindrical shape, only TWEEN
ty by twelve feet, holding 5000 feet Of
gas, from which, suspended by cords, is
a narrow framework of hollow steel rods
as long as the balloon, and pointed at
either end. The operator sits in his
seat at the center Of the framework and
turns crank, which revolves four
bladed air-propeller, inclined horizontal
ly Immediately beneath his seat, by
which the balloon is elevated or depress-
ed at pleasure-the propeller having a
raising power of six pounds. At one
end of the framework is another air
propeller, inclined vertically, by which
the balloon may be propelled against the
resistance of slight breeze, and also
steered, the wheel being of the steering
propeller model. With the operator on
board the entire weight slight exceeds
the lifting power Of the gas in the bal
loon, but this deficiency is supplied by
the propeller under the seat Although
the conditions were unfavorable this
afternoon, it being rainy, the exhibitor
was eminently successful, rising to LOG
feet The operator power of rising OF
lowering was shown. Then he went of
eastward 100 rods, turned around twice
and, at a signal from the inventor, start
ed back against slight breeze blowing
and landed in the exhibition grounds
amid applause. After showing imme-
diately over the heads of the spectators
the ease with which the machine is navi-
gated in any direction, the exhibition
was terminated by heavy thunder
storm. Prof Richtel's claims appear
to be well based, THAT is, the machine
will keep moving in the air until the OPP
orator wants to descend, is wholly indie
pendent of ballast, and suffers no waste
of gas. Consequently, the machine will
float for an extended journey, is capable
of reaching favorable air currents with
out loss Of power, and of coming to the
ground when desired. Two machines
have been ordered for exhibition pur-
poses at Niagara Falls.

Correspondence of the Bulletin.

LAST Monday was the day set, as re-
ported, by the communists, for the OPP
cning of the revolution against labor
and capital 1t has been circulated
through the daily papers that prominent
communists had announced that on Mon
day the 18th, every railroad train in the
country, would stop at noon, and would
not be permitted to proceed until de-
mand for higher wages had been acced-
ed to. Everything has been quiet, how.
ever, and no demonstration has, been
made, consequently we are led to be-
lieve that the report was sensational
item. or that the communists were lack
in power or courage to make this bold

The Postville Revte,o is slightly &c
centric on the Congressional question.
Some weeks since, after a calm survey
of the field and critical examination
of the claims and qualifications of the
candidates, it declared for Mr.. Larrabee,
and in so doing exhibited good judy
ment, for Mr.. Larrabee's fitness is uni
versally admitted. It is to be presumed,
however, that in selecting Mr.. Larrabee
as its candidate, the Revie,o was aware
of the fact that that gentleman, though
a very strong and able man, makes no
pretensions to oratory, and would not
have probably made much of canvass
from the stump if nominated. But Mr.
Larrabee peremptorily declined, and the
Revie,o was compelled to choose again
In it's last issue it announces its sec
ond choice in the person of d. N
Cooley, of Dubuque, and accompanies
the announcement with a half-column
devoted to eulogy of Cooley and con
temptuous illusions to the weakness OF
all his competitors. The eulogy section
is remarkable for its omissions; exhaust
ing the vocabulary, as it does, to des-
cribe Cooley's popularity" ability,
availability, capability,' &C., but
never word about honesty or clear
record. But the most remarkable thing
in the Revie,o's gushing article, in view
Of it's previous support of Mr.. Larrabee
is the fact that it puts in the foremost
place among the indispensable qualifica
tions required of the candidate, the abil
ity to make a vigorous and brilliant
canvass of the district" showing facil
ity in adapting itself to the exigencies
Ct the situation and the peculiar points
of it's candidate for the time being, tru
ly wonderful.
The contemptuous illusions to the
popular strength of other candidates are
so like what has been developed OF the
Cooley campaign in other directions, as
to indicate their common inspiration
The Revie,o thinks that the candidate
must be man we'll known in the dis
trict at large" This is undoubtedly
true, but there is difference in notori,
ETY.. Let the Reuie,o be careful that ii
does not have the bitter reflection, after
the election, that it's candidate was toe
we'll known.

The fact that, regarding the southern

We place at the head of our columns,
the nominations made by the Republi-
can State Convention which assembled
at Des Moines on Wednesday. The ticket
both in the character and the qualifca-
tons of the candidates, is as strong as
any ever placed in the field by the Re-
publicans of Iowa and will command the
enthusiastic support Of every member
of the party. The candidate for Secre-
tary of State, Capt. Hull was nominated
on the first ballot, land Mr. Powers of Clay
County, the candidate for Register of
the State Land Office, was nominated
on the second ballot. The other names
on the ticket are those of the present
incumbents of the respective Offices
named, and were without exception
re-nominated by reclamation, a de-
served Endorsement of their efficiency
and faithfulness. The platform is long
and prolix. Considering that it was
framed by a committee upon which were
some of the craziest implacables in the
state, perhaps we should be thankful
that it has even the semblance of the
dignifed utterance Of great party.
In one thing it goes beyond this safe
rule of appearances. 1t makes no di-
rect allusion to the President, but it at
tacks him by innuendo, and in this is
both cowardly and contemplate. We
defer it's publication until next week

THE Dubuque Herald, of last Sun
day morning, contained the full report
of the committee appointed to investi-
the crookedness of S. H. Craig, late
warden of the Fort Madison peniten-
tiary. The committee consisted of Sen
ator Bestow and Representatives Glea-
son and Miles, Republicans, and Sena-
tor Bronson and Representative Israel,
Democrats. 1t seems to have done its
duty faithfully, making a most thorough
and searching investigation of the
whole matter, without regard to the
consequences to any party. The result
is calculated to arouse the indigna-
ton of every honest man in the State,
without regard to party. 1t is demon
strated that during his six years incum-
bency of the wardenship, Craig actually
plundered the State, in one way or an
other, through the connivance of other
officers of the institution and
outside parties, who contracted to fur
nish supplies, over 100000. The de-
tails of these transactions reveal the
most fragrant and unblushing rascality
upon the part of Craig and his accom-
plices, for which, seemingly, there can
be no possible paliation or explanation
that will mitigate their Nervousness
They call for the severest punishment
known to the law, and our State author
tiles will be derilect Of their duty il
they fail to proceed against Craig anc
his fellow thieves by criminal prosecu
tions, so that they may speedily gel
their deserts.
