Thcro is cer tainly reason to doubt that it has , and there is very little probability that the farmers will over get from that source any legislation against the ovilsof spec ulation of which they justly complain What may bo accomplished by stuto legislation is also somewhat uncertain , in viowof the failure of the Illinois law to suppress bnckot shop specula tion All ngrco as to the pernicious character of this sort of speculation , but how to pro von t it is a very hard prob lem SENJllOn ALLISON ntiXOMlXATED The republican caucus of both houses of the Iowa legislature has formally set tled the oloclion of a United States sen ator by unanimously renominating Sen ator Allison for a fourth term The boasted opposition to him did not do- vnlop In the caucus , nor was there oven a shadow of dibsatisfuction expressed at the result , Nothing now romaltis but to formally ratify his nomination by a vpto of the full legislature This will bo done as Eoon as the dead lock is broken and the legislature is permanently or ganized The republicans in the sonata nndhoueoaro to bo congrntulutod for their promptness in disposing ot the senatorial question In the present stutus delays might have led to compli cations of a serious nature But the prompt action of the republican caucus will effectually put a stop to all schemes ot Senator Allison's onomlos to defeat him , and in all probability hasten the organization of the lower branch of the legislature as well ' In accepting the nomination tendered him with much cuthusiubm , Senator Allison spoke feelingly of the long servlco ho has rendered his state nnd or the responsibilities which attach to an olilcc of the magnitude he holds Tlio strongest proof that Senator Al lison has Ullod the meusuro of his olllco to tlio satisfaction of the grout commonwealth ho ropresouts is the unanimity ot soiitiinont expressed in favor of his reelection und the do- cislvo notion ot the cauous that ronom- inutcd him for the fourth term , ooi'Eitson ruovAlF mrssa ab Governor Thomas ot Utah has for wnrdodtotho legislature his first annual - nual report It is a document of inter est because it contains rocominenda- tlons which will invite moro tliun pass ing notice , The moesago assumes that the legislature is fully cqulupod with power to tnko care of the territory's in- torott and it points out the way to pro ceed to business It differs from mes sages of this ohuntcter usually sent to legislatures ny forinor governors of the torrltory in that it pays no attontton to rocommendutlons calculated to stir up the anger ot the Mormons or to incite thorn to increased hostility against the general government , it deals with live issues and with rnnttcrs of passing mo ment in the torrltory The rofcronccs to the Insauo asylum , the reform school , the agricultural fair building , to the ln\rs governing banking , to the estab lishment ot a legal rata of interest , to a pardoning board , to the character of memorials that should bo presontcd to congress , nro nil of a character to com mend thorn to public intcrost They nro all practical and timely , and ex hibit the wisdom of the prcsldont in appointing territorial governors mon whose long rosldonco has made thorn thoroughly familiar with all their re quirements an nrn-opuxEn 1'on taxpaycus When The Bku charged that the running expenses of this city hnvo moro than doubled during the Inst two years many pcoplo wcro disposed to consider it ns an oxnggorntion But Tin : Bui ; is sustained by the records , nevertheless , as may bo scon by the following exhibit : Balnnco on hand at the close of Boyd's administration , May 1 , 1SS7 : General fund $ Gfl,405.M Slnltlnu fund b'JU7T.4T Library fund 4IU. | ( 28 Flro fund S.OU.W Pollco fund 7.US0.2 , ' !
