A lying, malicious attack<em> (Ein verlogener, niederträchtiger Angriff</em>)
Eiboeck’s dispute with John P. Irish over saloon licensing at the Anti-Monopoly party convention
In reaction to a letter John P. Irish had published in the German newspaper <em>Dubuque National-Demokrat</em>, attacking Joseph Eiboeck's 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 publishes an affidavit in his own newspaper, accusing Irish of lying and political blackmailing.

Three months into his tenure as editor, Eiboeck moved the <em>Staats-Anzeiger</em>'s English-language editorials, his so-called "English Department," to the front page of the paper. In all subsequent issues, an overview of state news appears in German in the left-hand columns, including the feature "Rundschau über Iowa," while English-language news and editorials appears on the right. The Feuilleton section, which had previously occupied the front page, moved to page 2.<br /><br />Due to the large size of the original, file 1 reproduces the top left of the front page; file 2 the bottom left; file 3 the top right; file 4 the bottom right.

Eiboeck, incoming editor of the <em>Staats-Anzeiger</em>, explains his goals for the paper. His main innovation is his "English Department": a weekly editorial column in English to reach non-German readers and advocate for "personal liberty" (and against Prohibition) "in the language in which it will be most effective."
