TRIP TO CEDAR RAPIDS.

In company with Land Agent Par
sons, we took run to Cedar Rapids on
Saturday last and saw the country
along the line of the Il. G. II. s. N. at
its best. From here to the Rapids the
crops look magnificent and everyw here
we heard but one report, viz: that one
of the finest crops ever grown is now
ripehing.
We were much pleased with Cedar
Rapids. We have not seen IN the West
cleaner, brighter, livelier city. Wide,
clean streets, magnificent business
| blocks, aud crowds of busy people,
make one feel at once that lie is in ono
mean city," and we should not be sur
pr!sed if Cedar Rapids should become
the principal railroad and manufacture
ing centre of Iowa.
We wish to suggest especially to our
people the cultivation of more intimate
business relations with Cedar Rapids.
We have little to expect from the cities
and country north Of us, us experience
has shown, while we have much to
gain by cultivating business and other
relations with Cedar Rapids and the
country tributary to that point. In the
near future we shall secure scores of
settlers from that part of Iowa, while
capitalists from that point as we'll as
from Davenport and Burlington are
beginning 70 take quite ali interest in
the lands and towns up this way
As the trains now run, our business
men can reach Cedar Rapids between
three and four o'clock in the afternoon
and have until ten O'Clock next day
for business, that is, t':ey can run down
one day and back the next, and have
part of each day for business at the
Rapids, and get back home early i'll the
evening.
TIE LAND COMPANl'S ANSWER
We stated last week that he railroad
land company had filed their answer to
the claim for taxes on railroad lands
in this county. The nam points made
III the answer are:
l. The lands are railroad lands and
therefore exempt.
.. They were never legally assessed.
8. There was never any legal levy
made for the years 1881 and 1882
1. The county board did not equalize
the valuation of property in said coul.
ty for the years 1881 and 1882.
S. The State board never equalized
the valuation Of the property.
&. The County Auditor never filed Il
verified list OF delinquent taxes for
said years.
Z. The only interest taxable is i'm
provements, and they should be taxed
us personal property.

In finally bringing the protracte6 star
route trial to an end there is an opportu-
nifty to foot up the cost, and it is ascertain
ed that the money paid out by the govern
ment exceeds half million of dollars.
The fees paid to the special counsel are no
small part of this large sum. Up to March
%, 1888, Geo. Bliss was paid $46,2O6.1S,
and he has an additional unsatisfied claim
which added to the above makes his share
of the robbety foot up fully 100000.
Brewster, Attorney General, has been paid
$4,000 and for what, who knows, Cook, one
Of the minor attorneys pocketed $6,949,16.
a. N. Gibson, whose legal services consisted
almost entirely in training Rerdell for q
government witness, is paid $4,000 Ker.

justice $27,S72.4S, and Ker was more mod
est than any other of the leading coun-
sell" Dick Merrick has been paid $32,5OO
and has claim yet to be paid of several
thousand dollars. Allan A. Pinkerton. fol-
detective services is paid $2,94932. In adj
dition to the foregoing is the cost of Sc
curing witnesses, which was argt
the salaries of special agents
and large clerical force, the
court expenses for Marshals
and other employees, the expense of pub
fishing the testimony, etc, makes the tria
expenses to the sum stated. And all thi:
wasteful expenditure conform the country
that the government had no case. A charge
of conspiracy by the department of JUS
tiee upon the public treasury is wholly
proven from this exhibit. The extortions
from the treasury, thus made, constitute a
greater crime morally and legally than
that charged upon the defendants, though
perpetrated by the authority of the high
est power in the governmental system of
the Republic. No wonder the country re-
joices that this legal robbery has finally
come to an end

commodore said in 1872 of Mr. Jaw Gould:

Dir. Gould in my life. In July. 1868, sold
him lot of stock, for which he paid me. and

do with HIM IN any way whatever, nor do [
mean ever to have unless it be to defend myself
L have besides always advised all my friends to
have nothing to do with him in any business

taking particular notice of his coantenance.

DORSEY,s SPICY LETTER.

The letter of ex-senator Dorsey, printed
on the first page this morning, is racy
chapter of political history, and has the
merit that it will make good many men
uncomfortable. When the campaign of
1880 closed, the Republican managers
made funeral pile of their records,
papers, check-books, ETC., because they
dare not permit the written secrets to re-
main in existence. The ashes of the
records can tell no tales, but Dorsey can,
and he tells them well and with the most
damaging effect. The best, or worst of it.
is he cannot be truthfully contradicted.
