Held for High Treason.

A young man of this county who
on Saturday had been listening to
some wild Anarchists, vociferously
sing upon our streets in boisterous
glee:
"We'll hang Grove Cleveland to a
sour apple tree"
after the parade at night, is accused
Of grave offence against the ''un.
crowned" idols of monopoly, to-wit;
For that the said, to-wit, on
the 20, day Of October A. ID. 1888, in
the village of Cresco, in the county oil
Howard and state of Iowa, then and
there being, did wickedly, feloneously
Inaliciously, wound, shoot, cut, stab,
Inailn, mutilate, and with some per.
son or persons unknown, did conspire
to cut. bruise, wound, shoot, stab
mutilate and kill, and did feloniousl,
and naliciously with malice prepenss
md aforethought, wound, shoot, stab
nutilate, wound and kill one Litho
Graph daub, representing or supposed
10 represent Benjamin Harrison and
Levi L. Morton, contrary to the sta
ate in such case made and provided
md against the peace and dignity O
5he state of Iowa.
For which grave offense the Chic
Justice of Cresco, instead of ordering
aim immediately beheaded and hi
:arcass thrown to the dogs, binds hi,,
over to the Grand Jury for treason
we suppose. Thus the big rally end
in farce instead of tragedy.

Yes sir; the tariff has been taken
from the raw material entering into

our manufacturers to have cheaper

EDITOR PLAIN DEALER.-Iti is diff
cult to understand how men, except
loafers who pretend no responsibility,
could ride thu ough the streets and
sing, well hang Grove Cleveland to
a sour apple tree" when Grover
Cleveland il President of the United
States. The bitterness of disappoint-
ment must be very strong or the
sense of patriotism very low in those,
who would sing or those who could
listen and cheer to the echo such a
seditious sentiment. They must be
prompted by the same feeling that
makes the man on the gallows, wait
ing for his just deserts, curse him
whose duty it is to execute the sen.
tence of the law on one who menaces
the welfare of society. The encour.
aging feature of the circumstance,
however, is the fact that not one OF
the crowd will ever reach such i'm.
portance that Grover Cleveland will
hear of his existence, much less have
need to disturb him.
The inscription on the banner car
ried by the young ladies in the pro
cession Of last Saturday showed q
Jack of refinement on the part Of
some body. We have yet to hear the
first word Of reflection upon the fail
name OF the first lady of the land,
except as it came from some disap
pointed relic of Noah's Ark, or some
one who has an ambition to shine il
an aristocratic house provided TO
her by some one else, without having
!. the necessary education or ability t.
manage q second-class kitchen. Tru'
women learn to respect their own SCI
even il nature has done more for an
other than they have received. -.
