Republican Clubs in Iowa.

1t is gratifying to learn that Republi-
cans, in several of the cities and towns
in Iowa, are engaged i'll organizing clubs
and making ready to join the National
League Of clubs. 1t is especially desir
able that there should be uniformity of
organization and action in employing
this more active agency for the good of
the party. The national headquarters
Of the League is now prepared to sup
ply form for the constitution of local
clubs, and any republican in Iowa,
wishing to organize club and wanting
a formula, can secure a copy by ad-
dressing either Robert Fullerton or j.
:. GARRISON, Des MOines. 1t is hoped
by those who have charge Of the detail
of this work in Iowa, that fifty or more
clubs will organize III the next few days
so that a state convention to organize
state Leagues may be called to meet
sometime the last of next month. The
republicans of Minnesota in the past
week have met with $50 delegates, rep
resenting sixty clubs, and organized a
state League, and created great deal
Of energy and enthusiasm by doing so.
Let us do equally well in Iowa. These
clubs are organized purely for the party
good, and are prohibited by the consti-
tuition that they accept from declaring
for any man for any Office in advance
Of the party nomination. So that they
are for the general good Of the party
alone. The cities and larger towns OF
the state should lead off in the work Of
organization to the end that they may
have representation i'll the state conven,
ton TO be held next month.-RegiSter

OUErcaderN will observe by clipping
printed elsewhere that republicans of
the state are already awakening to the
duties and pleasures the campaign Of
this year imposes AID that they are or
ganizing for the work 'fl.g party has
n0t had such encouragement to eae,t
its power for score Of years as exist
ing conditions offer. IA th6 recent past
duties have been pcrfmctGTy and per
formed in the assurance of victory and
with confidence that checked the best
efforts. In the present the fact that the
party is confronted bY 9n opposition
that was successful in the last cam
gaign, and has devoted its allotment of
time and prestige to the work Of organ
izatiOn and preparation for the contest
is stimulating. That party has proved
recreant to every duty imposed by cleo
tfon and violated every confidence re-
posed in its ability to act. It's years
have been wasted and its record is only
a miserable failure. 80 that while the
republican party must meet This strong
organization ii has yet the confidence
that the victory may be Won by united
effort.
Republicans OF Audubon county
should organize to perform their part
of the important work. An organiza-
lion should be effected in each town
ship, each i'll turn being merged into an
enthusiastic and harmoniOu. county
organization. To make the work more
effective and to secure representation
in the February meeting at Dies Moines,
action shOuld be taken Immediately.

Gov. LAHRABEE'S attitude toward
the railways has been very widely dis
cussed, and has been found an inter
esting subject in other states. Crit
cisns have generally been favorable.
with no more exceptions than would.
perhaps, be taken to any similar declar-
alton. His policies as q senator and as
a governor have been compared and it
is shown that in the former capacity he
was avowedly friend of the railroads.
This dual character, as it ha. been
called, has been the subject of some
harsh criticism. We cannot see that
inconsistency marks Mr.. Larrsbee's
course. Formerly, when he was az alleQ
ed champion of railroad interests the
country was new and furnished COM
paratively small portion Of the business
the roads enjoy today. The carriers
were then in measure infant indus.
tries which were fostered and built up
by the people. Both interests were
mutually benefited. The companies
became immensely wealthy and Iowa
grew to great state. The circum.
stances have changed and Gov. LARA.
bee has shown that he can accommo
date himself to the new order. Iowa
Is now furnishing the roads an immense
aggregate of passenger and freight
business; 50 greatly has this increased
that the rates of tranSportion can be
reduced without doing injury to the
representatives of invested capital. The
question has been very closely studied
by Gov. Larrabee, until he is thorough.

convictions wrought by investiga ton

people. We are glad that he is equal

After tbs Public Printer,

Since the appointment Of Benedict as
public printer the prominent feature of
that Office has been its incapacity. He
is bitter and offensive partisan. When
he first assumed the duties of the Office
the news was heralded over the country
that he had discharged several hun
dreds of employees in the interests Of
economy. 1t was learned that the dis.
charged men we're generally Union
soldiers. Benedict then commenced
filling their places, but this was carried
on quietly, and it was discovered later
that the new neil were Of the chosen
democratic faith, without ability or eI
perience. The business Of the Office is
now far behind, and the fact is an an
noysncs to all interested. In the House,
Tuesday, resolution was adopted ask
ing Benedict if he had discharged or
furloughed his force, and if 50 for what
reason at time when printing is so far
in arrears; also whether IN making such
discharges regard had been paid to the
statute giving preference in employ
ment to honorably discharged Federal
soldiers. Benedict has probably obSery.
ed the statute. but by license Of admin
istration, substituted Confederate to
qualify the word soldiers.

THE talk of a new telegraph line be-
tween New York and San Francisco
has aroused the old timers to lively
"reminiscences of the building of the
first line across the plains. One pole,
100 miles west Of Laramie, was set up
four times and each time hacked down
by Indian tomahawks. Each time
there was bloody skirmish with the
redskins for the temporary possession
OF the stump. At last the pole was
given to a young man high up in the
management of the Western Union. lie
laid mine in the hole, set up the new
pole, trailed the fuse to an ambush of
rocks close by, and waited with two
armed friends. Then a band of eight
Sioux came along and held war dance
around the pole. When the mine was
fired all but three were killed, and those
three carried off mimic balls with them.
The powder blew up the pole again,
but it cleaned the hole out nicely for a
new one, which was thereafter let alone"

THE jury in the Arensdorf case In
Acquiring The defendant set him forever
free from the penalty the law might
prescribe for the murder Of Rev. Had
dock. TIE REPUBLICAN has ayerred
that their verdict was not in accordance
with the preponderance of evidence,
and our opinion is shared by a great
many people in Iowa and the adjoining
states. Newspapers and individuals
would be 10th to adversely criticise the
action of twelve good men and true, I'M
les. the violation of their sworn duty
were palpable. Counsel for the state in
dismissing the remaining cases against
conspirators said in their motion:
1T is claimed by the plaintiff herein
that said defendant, john Arensdorf,
fired the fatal shot that killed Mr..
IIaddock and that the testimony shows
that At rensdorf fredhe fatal shot"
The states counsel had thus the con-
adence in their case to state their con-
yictions more clearly than has been
done by any other authority. The Chi
csg6Vye,CS returnS'a strong indictment
against Arensdorf when it thus speaks
of his removal to Milwaukee, and es-
tablishes a skeleton in his closet:
"Ile will carry two things with him
from Sioux City wheresoever he goes,
and they will accompany him night and
day, waking and sleeping, to the end Of
his life. 40 human force can divorce
him and them; nor will any human
fiattery prove competent to conciliate
him and them. The first Of these is
memory, and the other conscience. This
memory is picture that cannot be
obliteratei, this conscience is bloody
finger that points forever at the picture."
