lants and tobacco as well, the Judge
through the Dubuque Times, Of
which he is editor, repeated the
charge more scandalously than when
first made. Had the statement been
true, or had the Times information
that convinced the editor that the
charge was true, it would have been
justified in the high court Of public
opinion in making known the moral
weakness Of the man. But nothing
of the kind was true, and Judge UT
made the charge maliciously, for the
purpose of defeating Mr.. Butler fol
congress, and electing Mr.. Sweeney,
well knowing that it was absolutely
and unqualifiedly false.

The Des Moines News demands
that in order to save itself from ami
hilation in Iowa, the republican par
ty must raise the assessment of rail-
road property from IL to 80 per cent
of its valuation. We much doubt the
procurement of its salvation by such
means. Mr. Lyons has shown his de-
votion to the interests of the railroads
during his previous term, and his
willingness to compel the farmers OF
Iowa to pay the taxes which legit-
mately belonged to the railroads to
pay. The people knew his position
and his hostility to them and their
interests and in his election they en-
dorsed his official action. Mr.. Bee
son chosen to succeed Mr.. Twombly
is likewise owned by the railroads,
the evidence of which was fully made
known to the people before they
elected him. Three of the executive
council are known to be favorable to
the railroads, leaving Gov. Boies
alone, as Gov. Larrrbee was in the
interest of just and fair assessment OF
railroads with all other property.
$500, 100000, valuation of the proper
ty of individuals in Iowa is assessed
at $12s, OOO, 900. $500, OOO,OOO OF rail-
roads rs represented by stock and
bonds are assessed at $43, 1000, 600,

business men of Iowa to pay more
than 1880, 900 Of taxes every year
which should be paid by the railroads

OLD DREAD SWAIN.


A Statesman Of tho Long Ago Who Had
Funny Experience.
Away out in the pine woods of Mont
gomery County, says the Americas (Ga.)
Times, there lives an old man that is as
full of stories Of the olden time as any
lover Of ancient lore could wish. Here
is one of his best:
There is big difference nowadays in
the way things are done, and want to
tell you Of very eccentric character
who lived in the long ago and who was
quite celebrity in his day. allude to
old man Dread Swain, OF Emanuel Coun-
ty. For twenty eight years he repre-
scented his county in the State Legis-
told Of him. There were few railroads
in his time and the only way for him to
get to Milledgeville was to 60 on horse
back or walk, and then, OF course, If he
went on horseback he would be put to
the expense of keeping his horse while
there; 50 he usually walked, taking his
rifle and killing game and camping out
on the trip, and it Is said OF him that
instead OF boarding in the city like the
other members, he used to camp out in
the suburbs and go into town every
day. lie was very pcnurious old
gentleman and hated to spend his
money for any thing. I recall one
amusing tale that they used to
tell OF him, and 1t has the merit Of be-
ing literally true. Tho story, with
some. variations, has been told of sever
al old-timers, but is true only when ap-
piled to old man Swain. As told you,
he usually took his rife with him to
Milledgcvillc, and along toward the
close of his many terms Of service he
started from his home to the capital on
foot, as usual, and reaching his old
camping ground in the suburbs late in
the afternoon he pitched his camp for
the night, or for tho term, for that
matter. Early next morning his ever
vigilant hunters eye lighted upon the
dome Of the capitol. built during his
absence. OF course old man Swain had
never heard of nor seen such things,
and he at once took 1t TO be . sure
enough live eagle, sitting there in the
morning sunlight. "Ill-pi," said old
Dread. "You nasty sheep-stealer, I'll
fix you in jiffy." The old man took
his rifle and began stalking" the
counterfeit eagle. Getting within LONG
range he drew bead on the "bird Of
freedom" and pulled down, and, Of
course, thought he had missed. Think.
ing possibly he was too far from his
game for sure shot, he started to get
nearer. when he met some parties who
had been attracted by his first shot.
Hist" says old man Swain, keep
low; don't you sec that eagle up on the
capitol yourself2" When their laughter
has subsidized sufficiently they En-
planned to him his mistake, and many Q
laugh did the members have at his ex-
pense.

It was on railroad train in tile heart
of New Jersey, says the New York Sun.
A passing shower had left two rain
bows in the sky and huge bank Of

nearly everybody's attention. All else,

had seen nothing but stone pavcmcnts

brought the carpet bag along and held it

The New Yorker named his lcstina-

and he looked savagely out Of the win

for many minutes. At last the train
drew up at a lonesome station, and the
old man said:

The Des Moines Boodlers.

A new phase has been put on these
now noted cases by the action Of
Judge Bishop, the Judge before whom
they are pending. Mr.. Catch, the
counsel for the defendants, relied up
on the fact that the aldermen and
all the city officials since 1876. had
united and combined to rob and
plumber the treasury Of the city, re-
lying upon the precedent of theft
thus established. as justifying the ex-
tortions Of the present officials. On
Saturday, the judge called the grand
jury before him, read it q lecture
about its duty. recited the action on
the brady case and the failure to
convict on the charge of obtaining
money by false pretences, and in
structed that body to investigate
their cases under the statutes of the
state relating to conspiracies, to
gross frauds and cheats, and to those
referring to the misconduct of per-
sons in public Office. 1t was stated
by Mr.. Catch that two of the judges
of the District Court, Holmes and
Conrad. have taken illegal fees, one
to the amount of over $4,000, the 9TH
err more than $1,000. The Register
and its friends are striving for q
change of venue from Judge Bishop

when the young people Of this vicin-

evenings visit, and presented her
with a memento Of their friendship.
The circumstances in which they
found us at the time, partially pre-
vented as from making their visit as
pleasant and agreeable as we could
have done on some other occasion.
Yet we did the best we could, and
hope that our efforts were at least
partially successful.
The memento referred to above,
consists of a beautiful copy Of Web

proud, and q souvenir that will for
years keep fresh in her memory the
many bright and happy faces that
participated in the evenings enter

The presentation was made by Mr..

and appropriate remarks.
To the circle Of happy faces that
