<em>Iowa Staats-Anzeiger</em>: Unmasking a liar (<em>Ein Lügner blosgestellt</em>)
Eiboeck’s dispute with John P. Irish over saloon licensing at the Anti-Monopoly party convention; support of German voters; J.P. Stibolt, editor of the <em>Davenport Demokrat</em>; Frederick A. Gniffke, editor of the <em>Dubuque National-Demokrat</em>; Simeon Hotz? (co-owner of the Union Brewery in Iowa City); J.J. Hotz? (contractor and son-in-law of Louis Englert, founder of the City Brewery in Iowa City)
In reaction to a letter that John P. Irish had published in the German newspaper <em>Dubuque National-Demokrat</em>, which attacked Joseph Eiboeck's alledgedly insulting rhetoric in a speech at the Anti-Monopolist state convention in July 1874 in favor of including a license plank in the party platform, Eiboeck presents his version of events and defends his actions. In addition to a translation of an English-language declaration by leading citizens of Des Moines that Eiboeck did not use the language that Irish claimed, the article also contains a comparable statement by well-known German-Americans in Des Moines, including Conrad Beck, Eiboeck's predecessor as editor of the <em>Iowa Staats-Anzeiger</em>.

<em>Davenport Demokrat</em>: Petition for the Taxation of Church Property (<em>Petition wegen Besteuerung des Kirchen-Eigentums</em>)
religion; taxes; church property
The text of the petition, translated from an English petition in circulation at the time, requests that the Iowa General Assembly revoke the tax-exempt status of church property. In support, it claims that the value of church property (in Iowa?) quadrupled between 1850 and 1870, even though church membership rose much less. It argues that such a concentration of a wealth in the hands of clerics is dangerous for civil liberty.
