Free Neck Men.

Principle rises above the din of party
cry and the designs of bad, bold men.
The Republican party, although yet
young in years, has Mt times suffered
from the unholy and based actions of
the men, who, when raised to the
pinacle of great power, have abused
the trust reposed in them and instead
of serving their masters-the people,
have put on the semblance of dictation
and sought by abusing their place to
make themselves the boss of the
situation. All through the old Key
stone State the free press, the ones not
wearing the collar marked federal
office" or bread and butter" is rails
ing the cry, that wrong is being com.
mitted in the name of Republicanism
and calling upon the free neck men to
stand by the right at the polls. The
stencil ofthc" bosses cauldron rising
in black clouds of misrule and cor
ruption to the skies, may hide for
time the purile forms of those men
who by official gain still strive to
follow after those who own the flesh
pots, but the wind of popular indig-
natitn will raise breeze that shall
ere long dispell these thick vapors, and
leave in nakedness those simpering
towards who have not the back bone
to be men. AS we have said before,
"the people are long suffering and
kind" But, when the storm breaks
the bosses" great and small will be
wise to stand from under. Little
abuses, as in the matter of sending u
delegate at the behest of q few men to
represent the many, and the making
the holding of petty post-otlice de-
pend on the faithfulness of the en-
cumbent in obeying orders, are abuses
to be sure, but the eXistance ofa boss /"
system in itself is far greater abuse,
and all together should be thrown
down and rooted out. No party is fit
to exist in this free country unless it
guarantees to each individual men,
ber the right to have voice in, and Il
knowledge of all public party matters.
This back room, up stairs, wire pull
ing business won't do. Even Little
Bosses" nust be made to understand
that the people have rights which they
are bound to respect. And that they
cannot forever trample under foot the
eternal principle of free thought.
Steady then, men. along the whole
line, and attest by your earnestness,
your devotion to the real, living issues
of pure Republieanism. Let the free
necked men but take the matter in
hand and the sycophants with collars
past.

The National Republican League,
which was organized two years ago
with the view of opposing the efforts
of tie bosses to commit the Re-
publican party to the Third Term
movement at Chicago, has issued an
address to the Independent Republi-
cans of the State, calling upon them
to take united action in opposing the
political bosses in the coming State
election. The address states that the
calling of the Convention sat the un-
necessarily early period of May" when
there are but ten counties out of the
sixty-seven in the State in which the
people will have an opportunity OF
electing delegates on the issues before
the party, is an insult to thinking
men, to ask them "to be bound 10y
such devices to political action fraught
with the gravest evils to their party
and their country" The number of
Independent voters, the address de-
elares, who are opposed to "boss -
rule, was shown in the so, 900 support

campaign of last November" and that

Candidates Must Pay the Printer,

A case of importance was recently
decided in the Centre county court.
The suit was instituted by Editor
Kurtz against man named AleXan-
der, who had been candidate fol
office and then refused to pay for COM
plinentary notices given in the paper
during the campaign. The compli'
mentary editorials were not ordered
by Alexander, but the court held that
political papers are expected to do
their utmost in furthering the interest
of the candidate of their party, and
the candidates so served are bound Ia
pay the editor for his labor.

If the Democrats may be believed

If the Democrats may be believed,
the Republicans are in some confusion
OH account of the loss of the Pacific
States in 1854 through the Presidents
veto. The Democratic prophets forget
that President Garfield was averse to
Chinese immigration, and therefore
should have been popular candidate
in the Pacific States, but THAT he lost
them nevertheless

Dublin, August 16.-In Gray's case
the judge refused to adjourn the case
to allow Gray to Get-counsel.
The following proclamation, signed by
Mayor Dawson, Parnell, Dillon and
Davitt, las been issued:
CITIZENS OF DUBLIN. Without of
fering any comment upon the sentence
passed upon Hon. E. Dryer Gray, we
deem it our duty to invoke the people to
maintain a calm and dignifed de-
meanor. We are expressing the wishes
of Mr.. Gray in couuselling our fellow
citizens to abstain from any gatherings
iu the streets that might lead to a
breach of the peace. We require only
calmness and temperance in the present
emergency. Hundreds of thousands of
visitors kept the peace in Dublin yes
terday. Let the citizens show an equa!
amount of prudence and self CONTROL on
this occasion.

Berlin, August 16.-It is believed
that the sultan wishes to await the
result Of pourparlers with Arab Pasha
before he gives his consent to a mill
tary convention with England.
Rome, August 16.-Menotti Carl
baldi denies that he is recruiting for
the Egyptians. He says the difficulties
of such work would prevent its accom-
plishment.
The report that the sultan had been
deposed is untrue. On the contrary,
the sultan, at the feast OF Bairam yes
terday, received several congratulatory
kilograms from Cairo and other parts
of Egypt.
Constantinople, August 16.-It is
stated in Turkish circles that the hest
tation to issue a proclamation against
Arab Pasha is owing to the fact that a
telegram was received from him five
days ago expressing his readiness to
submit to the authority of the Caliph,
but stating that he could no leave bis
soldiers without a head until the
arrival of Turkish troops in Egypt,
when he would instantly hand over
his command to the Turkish general.
The military convention is still un
settled for some reason.

was found to be rapidly sinking; his
breathing was difficult. He continued
to sleep however, and at a few minutes
after six O'Clock his death occurred
without a struggle. He died from ex-
haustion.
For several hours before Senator
Hills death it was evident that his end
was near. Soon after daybreak his
family were summoned to his bedside.
There were present at his death the fol-
10 wing persons: Mrs. Hill, b. II. Hill,
jr. and wife; DIR. II. j. Ridley and wife;
Senator Hills daughter, Chas. d. Hill,
his son; two nephews of the senator,
and DIR. Wright, attending surgeon.
Four hours before his death he made a
sign for a hyperdermic injection of
morphine, which was administered. He
appeared to be awake and conscious
several times, but could not speak. AT
6:l5 be was apparently awake, when he
closed his eyes gently and died without
even a tremor. Funeral Friday.

That Irish Agitator Again.

Marshaltown, August 16.-At the
convention here to-day, the platform
adopted favors civil service reform,
and denounces the extortion of money
from office holders to corrupt and con-
troll elections. 1t denounces the ex-
travagance of the republican party,
and demands a reduction of taxes.
1t declares the existing protective tariff
an outrageous scheme of plumber, and
II violation to the democratic principle
of right and justice. II tenders SYM
pathy to the democratic party, and to
the oppressed of all nations; to Ireland
especially in her present struggle to
obtain her freedom. The following
resolution vas unanimously adopted:
Whereas, Our chairman, Hon. John
P. Irish, is about to leave the state for
California, resolved, that the democ-
raey of Iowa will always remember the
valuable services of John p. Irish, and
wherever he goes, their best wishes at
tend him. Other resolutions referred
to state matters.

Washington, August 16.--To insure
that none but those possessing the
more soldierly qualities and regimental
esprit be attached to so favorite and
distinguished an arm of service as
light batteries, an officer who has not
served with his regiment continuously
(includrng cumulative %leaves) for, at
least the previous two years, will not
be considered eligible for detail to
light batteries. Exception only can be
made by special order from the secre-
tary of war, and where circumstances
attending the absence of officers do not
indicate their desire to avoid the per-
Torrance of ordinary regimental and
company duties.

ANTHRAX In THE NORTHWEST
DR.. Hopkins returned yesterday after
noon from a trip to Quinn u Co.'s.
range about 60 miles north of Evans
ton, summoned thither in his official
capacity by reports of extensive losses
of cattle with 'Blackleg." The disease
was found there, but not to such a seri-
GUS extent as was at first supposed, and
there will be no danger of it spreading
if the proper precautionary measures
are taken. While there DR.. Hopkins
rode over the range extensively, occupy
ing two days in the work, and says that
the cattle are In No. l condition, and
fat as butter, and the ranges are in ex-
cellent shape. The cattle business is
under a very favorable star in that sec
ton just now, it would seem. Quinn

THE PooL-The Chicago, Milwaukee

This line is out side the pool and shows
a disposition to take an advantage of its
position in its bid for the cattle carry
ing trade. Heretofore it has given ne
cause for alarm among its competitors
because it vas in no shape for opposi
ton, but now that it has its line oper
into Council Bluffs the aspect of the
affair changes. The effect is demora
LIKING in its tendencies. Already thes,
pool roads which have been so severely
strict with passes and favors begin t.

A hold Reconnaissance.

Alexandria, Aug. 16.-Lieut. Bach.
Darriens' account of his recent recon-
noissance is as follows: Proceeding
very cautiously for about II miles with
out an escort we arrived at 2:30 O'Clock
a. m. Tuesday, within 300 yards of the
enemies cavalry camp. The night was
very dark, and we were unable to get
details Of the position. We therefore
decided to find a point which would
enable us to see the camp when daylight
broke. We had not moved 80 yards
when the enemy's picket saw us and
showed IA bright light, which was di-
rectly answered along the line. We
ran about a hundred yards and the
enemy pursued and spread themselves
along the lake, completely cutting off
our retreat. Their horses seemed to be
afraid to face the water in the dark.
The enemy's system of signalling with
lights appeared excellent. Our every
movement was flashed by the nearest
man and answered along the line. l
presume the enemy did not fire in order
not to alarm any force we might have
had near. We tied n white handker-
chief to a Iole in expectation of being
captured, but afterwards decided to
make another attempt at escape. At
4 O'Clock in the morning we were 100
yards further into the lake, and we lay
down in two feet of water. The enemy
evidently losing sight of us retired.
At 4:45 we rose, and having made a
long detour, returned to the English
camp.
Alexandria, August 16.--Major Gen
eral Allison held a consultation to-day
with General Wolseley, the result of
which is that the former will retain
the local command of the British troops
pending the present deliberations of
the conference. General Wolseley to-
day inspected the military positions at
Ramleh, and surveyed the country
around, from the tower of the water
works. Heavy mirage obscured the
view beyond Arabi's first line of en-
trenchments. General WolseIey pre-
sided at the council of war Oh board the
Salamist to-day. The transport Gala
bria narrowly escaped w%iecking in the
harbor owing to the rudder chain hay-
ing broken while crossing the bar.
The water supply is sufficient to last
several hours.
The flagship Inconstant has arrived
inside the bar. The Duke of Con-
naught, Sir Edward Malet, British
consul general, is here and General
Wolseley, and visited the khedive to-
day.
A party of Arabs destroyed the
pumps at Ramleh station last night.
The soldiers Of the 10th regiment to-
day extinguished a fire believed to be
the work of an incendiary, behind the
ruins of Seizinia palace. The native
police looked on, but did not render
any assistance.

Chicago, August 16.-The Inter
Oceans Washington special says: The
Gazette in its mex issue will publish
several columns of additional cores
pondence %purporting to be between ex-
senator Dorsey and President Garfield;
letters that passed between them from
the date of Garield's election and the
time of his Inauguration. The publ
cation of these letters will create a sem
sation throughout the country. Prom
inent western republicans who have
seen aud read certain parts Of these
letters, say they contain sentiments in
dicating the profoundest esteem and
warmest affection for Dorsey. That in
one of them Garfield refers to his heavy
expenses growing out of the campaign
and the entertainment of thousands of
friends and Office seekers who visited
him at Mentor; his consequent pressing
need of money and asking "My Dear
Dorsey" for a loan of a few thousand
dollars. Gartield's request for the loan
was promptly responded to.
