NOT so BAD.
edar Rapids Gazette


The man who tells all the time of
the corruption of the American gov
eminent is attached to the negative
pole of the human battery. The his
tory of no other country shows with
such brightness and the history of
time that is passed hints at things
as grievous as any that we encouI-
ter. There never was a time when
the rulers of this or any other coun-
try were free from insnuations of
dishonesty and assertions of insanity.
The attacks on George Washington
We're as bitter as the attacks on Aae
Lincoln. and the attacks on both
were so beastly that modern civilian
ton would fail to supply auditors for
their repetition. and out OF our own
conceptions we are disposed to ex-
punge them from the national his
tory
However bad one American may be
the constitution. the laws and the
public give consent and encourage
ment for the individual or for the
combination OF individuals to reach
the highest point of which mind can
conceive, and men are not traduced
for their progressions. nor for the
good that they do for themselves and
others. The wonder has been at
times. In view of the reasonable rates
for passage on ocean steamers. and
the scrutiny of Americans abroad, I'M
der the influence and because of tn.,
power OF this terrible country of ours,
that more of the people who do not
like 1t have not Jumped 1t and taken
the less of it.

n trial, more sensational than the no.
torious Gallaugher case had at length

testimony introduced was such that
Judge Byington refused to admit to the
court room any one under II years of
age.
Twice during the trial Frances kes-

told the jury the revolving details OF
the crime. Neither time under the
searching cross-examination of Hon. A.
J. Ball did the girl. now scarcely 70
sseees old, waver or become confused.
The defense as established by Alder
and Ball, rested mainly upon the al
legged unchaste character Of the prose-
cutrix. To this end six witnesses were
introduced, one of whom swore to hav-
ing had criminal relations With her.
But the manifest unreliability of these
witnesses weakened the case OF the
defense materially. The jury found q

the company should not be put in the

statute providing that merchants

selling shall be taxed for the average
value of their stock of goods and for
