thus:
Hon. John A. Kasson has gone in
to the libel suit business. J. S.
Ciarkson and R. P. Clarkson, of the
Regi*/or, and J. C. Savery, have been
notified that they owe him $"0,000,
and Messrs. Witmer and Andrews,
of the Jjzader, are al*o called up
on to respond In the sum of 120,000.
These modest claims show that

Pioneer's Jubilee.
For several years there has been a
dispute as to the title to about one
million acres of land in south-west
em Kansas, most of which was occu
pied by settlers and had b*en im
proved until it had become very
valuable. Joy A t'o. claimed the
lands under some pretense of a rail
road grant, and .')(»,000 persons were
threatened with ejectment from
their homeland farms. OnageCedar
Late Is is the nawie given to the re-
1 trki. The settlers hav# lajeii having
a grand jubilee for several days on
the prairies over their victory lately
gained in tho U. »S. ('ireuit Court
against Joy & Co. The case involved
ynat interests one million atrres of
valuable farming lands, including
tho homes of thirty thousand sover
eigns who had paid dearly in money
itad hardship, privation and bard
hubor, for their homesteads, quivered
in the balances, and were about to
fall into tho possession of a grasping
monopoly. Well may they indulge
in a jubilee. The country at large
will reioico with them. The court
which decided this great legal cause
iu favor of the people was composed
of Judges Dillon and Miller, both
Iowa men, and of the stamp which,
cannot be bought with Joy's mil
lions.
l«iuocracy Itcdlvli'M*
The Democratic papers and leaders
in this State are all «treading spite
fully upon the Anti-Monopoly flag
and hoisting iu its stead the old ban
ner under which they fought for
Buchanan, Breekenridge, McClellau
and Heymore. They echo the bugle
notes sounded by 8am Evans, of the
Oltuiuwa Jjemoerat, who declares
that there's none so poor as to do
reverence to the memory of the Anti
Monopoly party. John Irish, 1'orte
Welch, McCormack, and the whole
should lie a row of original Denifjcrats who d«
dared the Democratic party dead

when the October election had pass-!
MeCortti4K'K answered

We1
don't know." Now he has no diffi
culty in determining. In his last
issue he says: "Call ourselves Anti
Monopolists or Democrats, the prin
ciples of our party are the same.
Then lot us keep our powder dry,
and standing fast to our principles
let us be ready for the couflict of
1875."
Certainly, stand by 4he "princi
ples"—tho bones of etead Democra
cy—and tight lor them. And these*
are the principles for which the Atiti
Monops have been fighting and are
invited to fight for again.
44Tho

44
The
principles of our party are the
same," says the Democrat. Why
did not our neighbor, in his exub
erance of candor and honesty, tell his
Republican allies a year ago—two
years ago—that he was enlisting
them under the Greeley, the Grange,
ami the Anti-Monopoly banners to
fight for the old Democratic princi
ples—repudiation, white supremacy,
State rights, whiskey license, etc.,
etc.?
principle's of our party
aro the same is to bo the Democrat
ic watchword,
Both the old parties are corrupt,"
they told us,
41
and must give way
for the new party—the only hope of
honest men and the country." Now
we are told th:! the principles o( the
new were tho same as those ol the
old. Two years ngo Me. told us
44
there is not enough of the Demo
cratic party left to patch the trousers
of a court house rat"—44the Demo
cratic party is dead," etc. Now the
dog has returned to his vomit, and
the sow that was (white) washed to
her wallowing with the carcass. In
viting prospect, indeed, for Republi
can Anti-Monopolists, and tho old
line Democrats who renounced the
Democratic party and joined tho
New Party because, as they said the
old party was dead and corrupt!
The I.csNon.
The late elections hrtve presented
some lessons which tho Republican
Party must heed and study well If
it would letaiu the trust and con 11
dence of the people which it has
hitherto enjoyed in such tlattering
measure. To the unwortbinesa ol'
the leaders of the opposition party
their utter lack of disposition and
ability to bring about the reforms
lliey promised, ami the inevitable
reaction after the excitement and
novelty of the new organization, the
Republican party owes Its triumph
in iewa this year as much as to its
own worthiness, the laudable iu its
past record, the merits of its candi
dates the excellence of its platform,
and Its ability and apparent disposi
tion to fulfill its promises.
The opposition have elected one of
their Congressional candidates and
in that District, although the Repub
licans had a worthy candidate, they
have been admonished that they
must be active as well as wise in the
choice of men as standard bearers.
In the Seventh Distrirtan unworthy
tTiun
was
allowed to
foist
himself up­
on the ticket and bring »huuie and al
most defeat upon^the parly thereby.
Iriie was elected not beera use a major
ity thought him true and good, but
because the party had a large major
ity in the District, and because iiis
opponent was of littlo if any better
htauip. If tho parly had been true
todts pledges in that District and giv
«n the |eopIe a worthy nominee, Its
majority would not have been re
duced near 5,000, as it was. The par
ty has promised self-puriiication by
casting off such ollicials as have
proven unworthy as fast as they ean
!*e reached. The result in the sev
enth District is a severe reminder
that we must guard the interests of
the party at its conventions as well
as at the polls, that bad men must
not bo allowed to use the
party machinery for their owu pro
motion. This same lesson is forced
upou our consideration by the result
of numerous unwise nominations
made not only by our own party,
but by the opposition.
Warning aJso comes from Ohio and
Indiana and the threatening atti
tude of affairs is such as to arouse not
only tho party but all who desire
earnestly the peace and prosperity of
the country.
We have full faith that these leis
sons will be considered, and that the
disusters of this year will be just
the medieiue, bitter though It is,
which will purge and renovate, and
eventually bring health and renewed
vigor to the puny. Scourging it
needed, and has received this year.
If it has not received suff.cifi to

The Democrat, in order to Hatter
Maj. Anelerson, late Anti-Monopoly
candidate for District Judge, either
ignorantly or wilfully misrepresents
the facts in reference to his voto iu
the several counties of the District.
It says:
44In.
every county in the
District—even in Jasper thehexne of
his opponent he riui9 ahead of his
ticket."
This appeared in last week's paper,
and as neither of the statements are
true, they should have heen correct
eel this week. But Me. never eor
re«ts. Mr. Anderson ran behind hi#
ticket, and his opponent, Judge
Winslow, ran ahead of his ticket u»
two counties, Powshiek and Jasper.
In the latter, his home county, Mr.
Winslow received more votes than
any other man on either ticket ex
cept Judge Sampson, and only six
teen less than Sampson. In his
home county he has a majority of
1080, and leads the candidate for
Secretary of State on the same ticket
118 vote's, and the candidate for Clerfc
402 votes. In Washington Co. ho
leads bis ticket except in two town
ships where Anderson's fciends had
Anderson's name printed In the Re
publican ticket instead of Winslow's.
In Keokuk and other counties the
Anti-temperance element labored
and voted for Anderson, urging
Winslow's strong temperance pro
clivities as a reason. Iu communi
ties where tho temperance element
predominated, as here, Anderson's
friends denounced Winslow as an in
temperate limn. It is now about
time for Mr. Anderson's friends to
abate their falsehoods and deal in
feet?, or let the nmtteif rest.

It is time that tho twaddle of the
partisan newspapers about tho
"helpless" and "oppressed people)
of Louisiana was ended. Thero is
not half as much oppression iu New
Orleans as there is in New York City
under tho reform administration of
Green. The plain truth is, that
while the majority of the people in
Louisiana are willing to work to re
trieve their shattered fortunes, there
is a large class of needy, ex rebel
