Charley Wilkinson, the razory editor of the Vinton Jimm.il, ha the following brief mention of Waterloo after his here two weeks ago Waterloo wmi a live, growing city, and what ruake it so, is the enterprise aud busines sagacity of its citizens who arc not afraid to invest ther money in bull-ling up manufacturing es-tabtihments. A Wot Is Tfi This! While almost every county round aoout ns, ana.iti-ouS'- out the State is being thoroughly canvass- ed uoiier the ui ectioa of tne County Centra!

As every the popular heart, but win to the great county ii the State is requested to send Republican standard voters until recently de'egates, we give tlrs tmp'ce in order that systematic cas.va.ss of the entire county After due discussion the action of the Ex ecutive Committee thus far was approved, and its suggestions respecting a campaign the organization of Tanner Clubs, general plan of assess- ment for a campaign fund, were commended. Another and very important matter was discussed and provided for, that of organizing a thorough canvass of the entire county. The committee were instructed to make provision in this behalf, and wiil now proceed to arrange for holding meetings in every township in the county, co-operating with the local committee to this end. With this object in view it is expected that the committee in each township will move in the matter of providing for public meetings at some convenient place, notifying the Club when tho meetings are desired and asking for speakers to aid in the good work. Now is the time for action be up and doing.

A comnrttee of fire on each side oi the river was appointed, to proceed at once in the organ'zation of Tanner's Clubs, one for each side. The west side committee are Col. Eberhart, J. W. I-ogan.

These committees ae expected to raise these Clubs at the earliest possible moment to canvass for members and report at the earliest possible day to the Execut-ve Committee. A good degree of interest in the cause was manifested throughout the meeting, and everything, betokens a rousing and a systematic canvass of the county.

Let it be the aim of every Republican voter in the city to lend a helping hand to the cause, aiding it by all rational means. Ma. Ltsci Serena ded. Following the close of the Liberal-Democ ratic meeting at Union Hall last Thursday evemng, a body of the trlends of Mr. A.

It is also hoped that all Liberal Republicans and Democrats will be present, Friday evening Lincoln Hall. Will every voter go and hear? Republican Meetings-. September 13 th, Friday of this week, Senator "Wr'gbt speaks at Lmcoln Hall. Sept 30th, two weeks from next Monday, afternoon and evening, Hon.

Frank W. Palmer, Congressman from the Des Moines District and Christian Wullwcber, of Dubuque, Elector-at-Large on the Republican ticket, will speak in this city. Col. A. R.

Anderson, 4' Fremont county, will probably be present also. All these gentlemen are amongst the ablest stump speakers in the State, and they will be sure of large audiences. Remember the dates; and we suggest to country Clubs that they attend in force. A Woro of Caution. "We have some reason to believe that there are predatory in our c'ty on mischief be.it.

In a dozen towns around us there have been burg'aries and robbercs witlr.n tho few weeks just past, and it is net un'ikely that Waterloo wi'l be visited by these infernal gentry. The recent and robbery of bank safes in the east, together the lesser adventures of like character over the country, p-ove that the ep'demic of now infests the country. Hence it behooves every citizen to exercise erery precaution aga-rst the raids of these scoundrels clean up and load your revolvers, place p-ivaie watches in the banks and stores, double bo't your windows and doors, look well to your cellar doors and movable sleep with one eye open and above all, if you are visited by the villains, let instant dayl'ght follow a leaden messenger into their vitals it's a very effective prevent've. Our city police force should have a keen eye to the probabilities and keep their "beat" warm with unusual watchfulness. And this brings us to notica a rumor that the Council are contemplating a icductioa of the police With the many and widely separated opportunities which oar city offers to these p-edaiory rascals, we are surpr-sed at this suggestion if it be true.

We had much rather hear that the force was to be increased. "Oh, the expense 1" Well, this expense hid better be borne by all in proportion to the assessment than that one, two or half a doze i of our stores or banks or dwellings be robbed for want of sufficient police force. This saving at the spigot with not an improbable waste at the bung-ho'e, is very poor economy. At Independence. When in attendance at the Judicial Convention at Independence last week, by the courtesy of Capt.

E. C. Little, the popular postmaster of that city, we we-e transported about the town behind his spanking bay. It is four years since we visrted that charming ciry, and though our impressions at that time were of the most favorable character, our observations of last week added vastly to our old admhation. On every hand were notable evidences of thrift, wealth, prosperity and business energy new business blocks, oe of which, a three slory iron and stone front, is the largest and most imposing we have seen in northern Iowa.

Another, that the First National Bank, is a fine and massive cut stone front of a design and workmanship. All along the maim street the debris of material proved the rapid growth now going on in the way of fine business buildings; while on the various residence avenues scores of stylish dwellings ae in course of erection. Among these we noted the new and fine dwelling of our old friend, D. L. Smith, the present Clerk of the Courts of Buchanan county, one of the most competent, popular and gentlemar'y officers, and generous, honorab'e men it has been our good fortune to know.

His popularity may be conjectured when we state that, having been again re-nominated for Clerk by the Republicans, the Liberals and Democrats, witha much larger relative vote than we have in this count, refused to make a nomination against b'm a most unusual mark of esteem. Congressman Donnan ao is a fine residence, and many others whom we cannot now recall. Besides these enterprises of a private natu.e, there are evidences of public improvement by the city corporation: grading'bf streets, new sidewalks; a new iron bridge to be soon complete, the massive granite piers being already up. A mile or so lo the westward of town is the new State Asylum To; the Insane, a massive and elegant stone struc ture, which for want of time we could not visit. On account of this appreciated dr; ve about the city and the consumption ol tune at the Convention, we were unable to vis't the printing offices of the Bulletin and the Conservative.

By a fortunate step, however, we encountered Judge Toman of the former, and exchanged paragraphs with him. He reports business as good and growing, and Liberalism as frail, and futile. We also met Senator Bernis, Congressman Donnan, J. S. Woodward, and other valued friends.

Next to Waterloo, we deem Independence the mosi enterprising and promising citv we have seen in noi tliern Jowa. Annual Farads- Five Department of Waterloo, Ta.Je Notice!

The surest way to infuse interest, enthusiasm and efficiency into the present political campaign is to attend all the meetings of the Club prompt ly. Beggarly seats are only arotricr name for a wet blanket.

Meetings to be effective must be well and genera'ly attended. Whenever you see a notice for a Club meeting or a general one, resolve that you wiil be promptly on hand, and be sure to urge your neighbor to accompany you. Every Republ'can who professes any inter est in the campaign, will best exemplify that interest by attending all public gatherings in aid of the cause.

Abduction. About two weeks ago Wm. Vaughn, of Cedar Falls, aged about 30, with a family, went to Independence and there by some means becoming acquainted with a Miss Phelps, daughter of ex-sheriff Phelps, aged about 14, and by dint of his devilish arts prevailed on her to flee away from home with him. They first went to Jesup, and on being pursued by an officer they were found at a hotel occupying? the same room and in company with a dirty at midnight. Being discover ed, they left the house unseen, and afterwards went to Frenchtown in this county, and remained in the Grove hard by through ihe night, and in the morning tnis scoundrel went to a saloon and got some food.

then went to Vinton, where Vaughn says ther parted she go ing to Illinois, he to Waterloo. Sheriff Brown was on the qui niee for the villain, and soon had in limbo, and informin" the officers at Independence, be was soon taken thither to answer for his devilish crime of abduction and probable seduction of a young and innocent girl.

came to this ccun try, arriving here in 16G3. Remaining two years -Ids "father's farm to recruit his feeble fccalth be then engaged as bank cle.k with Mr. R. Russell. Soon he took a clerkship in the Bank of Hon.

J. II. Leavitt, continuing this engagement for three years, during wi'ch he developed sucn business tact aid proficiency as to justify a partnership in the concern, under the style of Leavitt Lusch. For seven years he has continued a member of the firm, giving his constant attention to the large business of that house, which has grown into one of the most responsible and trustworthy banks in northern Iowa. Mr.

Lusch is not a politician in the popular sense of the word. Since his residence in this country he has been a Republican, continuing in that faith until a year ago, when for reasons satisfactory to himself no doubt, he ceased his co-operation with it, He was among tiie very first to publicly announce his opposition to the re-e'ection of Gen. G.ant. With deep faith in countryman, Carl Schurz, and in Sumner, Trumbull and Greeley, he naturally allied himscTf with the Liberal movement on its inauguration, and ever since has indefatigably labored in its be half. He has held but one office, thai of Alderman in this city.

The office to which he is nominated came unsolicited, a spontaneous to bis personal worth and popularity no less than to his warm advocacy of the Liberal cause. He is not a speate, but as a worker he is untiring. He a gentleman of popular manners, generous, liberal in two senses, and what is commonly called a fine fellow. Of course, being in the wrong political boat, he is only steering for the head waters of Salt river. Even his earnest enthusiasm will not win him votes enough to bring him in sight of his competitor, Mr.

Pratt. We can only hope that when this contest is over he will have seen the error of his political ways, the futility of opposing the great party of Progress and true Refoim; the party that has saved the country and iven to its people equal and exact justice, the best revenuo system in the world, and placed 'the "United States in the van of the Nations of the Earth. But as some one must be sacrificed, it may as well be A. T. Lusch as another.

The people are in no way disposed to abandon tne Republican rarty, which in the days that tried men's souls roved itself cnti tied to the richest gratitude and unwaver ing confidence of every citizen in the land Sherman Patent Window Blixd. Last week we examined a new window blind, invented and patented by Mr. Sherman, of Fort Dodge. Deeming it far superior to the blinds now in use throughout the coun try, and hence of great value to the pub'ic generally, we are impelled by a sense of duty to our readers to make especiat note of it. These blinds a-e constructed mainly like those commonly in use, differing only in such as render them simpler and better for all purposes of a blind and what is of still greater value they are operated opened and closed from the inside without raising the window sash at all.

By merely turing a small knob these blinds can be manipulated, and their position as to the light is maintamed by a most simple device. There is no bar or strip across the middle of the blinds, nor slat rod up and down the center, boih of which in the common blind obstruct much of the light. The slats are wider and and when turned to a level admit almost as much as when the biinds are thrown back. The siats move on metal pivots, and are moved as easily as clock work, and their construction is so simple and the device for operating them is so simple, that they are never out of repai Another feature when they are closed their construction is so perfect, that they are perfcctlj tight, and utterly exclude all light, rendering the rooms as dark as a cellar. Rain, sr.ow, winds and insects are completely shut out, and of course the add much to the warmth of a house.

If a slat gets broken, as sometimes happens, it can be easily replaced without taking apart the entire framework of the blind, as with the old kind. The cost is but a t-i-fle more than those now use, and the'r superiority in respect far more than compensates fo- the additional coyt. Gey. Oarpcnter is usiug tuis ounu ana com-J mends it highly'. We are glad to know that ao agency for their sale is to be established bi this'city, by the manufacturing firm, E.

C. Byam of Fort Dodge, for we cannot doubt that so soon as merits are noted, they early take tno place of any other blind now in use. A specmcn blind will be in the city in a few days, of which we will give due notice. we advise builders and those contemplating building, to look at Sherman Blind before engaging any other. A specimen blind will be placed on a window at the Central Horse in a few days.

This matter of provid'ng a general canvass o' the county devolves upon the couniy comm'ttec, mainly upon the chairman, who chosen more for purpose tbaa any othe. We learn of Hon.

Geo. O-owst of this cuy, that be has bad somo co respondenee w'th cha E. A. Sny- de and that Mr. S.

proposes to provide a canrss of Cedar Falis, Union, Washington and Mt Vernon townships, leaving the remaining fourtcoaia other rnembe-s of the comm'tiee or to themselves. ith a.I dee defe to Snyder's judgment we protest that this is all wrong it is entirely contrary to the universal custom and the just expectations of the parly. The oilier two members of the committee, W. II. B-inkerhoff and J.

J. Smart, we hear, have not been consulted, and obedient to the custom have been waiting on the chairman. The plan of Snyder suggests that the four townships named constitute ihe Couniy of Cedar Fal's -a sort of close corporation, politically. We beg that local barriers those Ch'nese walls created bv th's very coarse be brushed away by treat'ng Blackhawk county as one and We hone our chai-man will revise his judgment at ice, for he may accept the assuance that the people want a thor ough canvass provided for and that too at once. Leading Republicans of Spring Creek, where there is said to be a slight defection, and others from Fox' Big Creek and Blackhawk, have asked the writer when the County Canvass would be pub lished.

Correspondence. Editor of Courier GA BLING 1 Ox THE Street 1 In open day before our very faces And licensed by our CITY Mr. Editor, your sons and m'ne are being debauched by this kind of thing. Nor is it the first.

It has become so common and wide spread as to awaken hardly a comment. The effect upon the j'oung is to debase and degrade them and lead them on to anything but fitness for, manhood and usefulness. Shall it continue, and our land become as bad as Spain and Mexico, or the abode of the savage Indian, for love of gambling, laziness and dishonesty All tbat is needed to accomplish such a result, is to familiarize the minds of the young with the hope of speedy gains; with tbe-Tpccta-tlon of SometlHHg-for nothing, and -with the many forms of swindling by which such hope is encouraged in our -midst. One" step leads on to another, and we shall awake soon to find our youth on the road to ruin, and society all pervaded with the baneful influence. Whose sons are learning these things on the street? We had better know where they are, and see that they are not imbibing corruption as a sponge takes up water.

They are like sponges and will take up good or evil. This evil can, and ought to be checked by, the strong arm of the law. Our statute provides against keeping gambling houses. Let our City Council prohibit by ordinance (instead of giving authority by license) all sales that include any chance of gain without an equivalent, and require the police force to take all who engage in it summa-ily to jail, or bring them up for trial.
