The chronic thief , Crowell , vras pic
1 ? * tured out in a new role at Vauglmn'n
meeting Thursday evening. The mayor
pathetically pictured a man running down
Broadway with a sack of flour in his
arms , as an instance of what poor men
would do when not given work and hun
gering for food. The man was Crowell ,
tlieconGrmed sneak thief. It was too ri
diculous to have him pictured as a starv
ing workiogman , otherwise it inlpht ha
considered an Insult to class him wlthhon-
cut people who earn their living.

could get around to hand In the necessary
money and take the license , some of the
neighbors who did not want a saloon
there , got an Injunction restraining the
l recorder from giving him the document.
He has kept on elllng , nnd the question
is raited whether the council has nqt
really given permit to do so , thus ban ing
the city from prosecuting him for selling
Vaughan and hl henchmen have cun
ningly sought to make the political isaue
"Improvement ornolmprovemcnt. " Those
who arc not for him are against Improve *
meat. This attempt to make the people
believe that he is the only one In favor ol
improvements is a strained one. The
great majority oi the people hero are in
favor of Improvement , judicially mode
and energetically pushed , and among this
great majority , it la buely possible that
Home other man can be found who will
w'rve ' as mayor. The attempt to thus raise
A false Issue , and tide into power on the
top waye of the popular desire for im
provements , it altogether too plain a ruie ,
and thoughtful voters will not be caughl
by such chaff.
Pbe committee appointed Thursday
nlfiht at the Vaughan meeting , to make
up a city ticket after the meeting and
nominating Vaughan , adjourned unti
yesterday morning to complete the noinl
nations. They concluded nut to do it
and took another adjournment until Men
day morning. This way of making noinl
nations will not meet with favor nmojit
many. The committee- virtually ap
pointed themselver , and they propose to
bold a convention all to themselves. The
charge that worklngmen do not read the
papers is about on a par with the Inslnua-
Atlon that thity are not Intelligent enough
to hold primaries or conventions and noml-
ate their own candidates. Thoughtful
worklngmen will hardly rel'eh this kind
yt > l treatment ,
VAUGHAN'S VAGARIES.
Some of the "BuR-Dust"
Thrown by Him in the Eyoa
of the Workingmon.
A Cheeky Way of Securing a
Nomination Per
Mayor.
The Mayor Mnkos Some Good Points
With Much Tally nnd Many
Misstatomonts.
The call for n mooting at the court
house , to bo addressed by Mayor
Vauglmn , drew together alar o crowd
Thursday night , some going because
thayuoro pots nnd admirers of "littlo
Vauuhny , " as lie delights to bo termed ,
nnd many K"i"H horn curiosity. Mr.
M. 0. Grillin waa chosen as chairman ,
and accepted in n nent littlu speech.
There waa more difliculty in securing
a secretary. Phil Armor was named
but declined , as did also O. P. Wick-
ham. At last Luke James was chosen
and accepted. The call of the moot
ing was road , it purporting to be from
the workingmen , who desired Mayor
Vauxhan to explain to them why the
election came in March instead of in
April , and what officers were to bu
elected , etc. , etc. The mayor was
called for nnd appeared laden with
documents and books.
11 o opened by an onslaught on these
who thought this meeting was ono of
"Vaughny's schemes. " Ho proposed
to give them facts which the workingmen
mon were entitled to know about , nnd
which the newspapers did not give ,
and in fact many of these criticising
the mooting were ignorant about. Ho
denied that there was any political
clap-trap about the meeting , and was
not going to force himself on the city
as its mayor. Ho did not sock the
honors , nor did ho shirk thorn , but
ho was not going to turn his back
upon the city now that it was on the
boom.
Ho had gathered up facts from
other cities , showing that this city
was being run very economically in
comparison. Ho cited Atchison , Kan
sas , as a city of seven or eight thous
and people , whoso bonded indebted
ness was § 2,000,000 , its pflicors'sal
aries nearly § 5,000 , nnd its expendi
tures 848,702 , a very little loss than
Ihis city expended. Ho spoke of Mar-
shnlltuwn as a small place , the police
costing § 3,000 annually and the streets
$25,002. Prom Sioux City ho quoted
the item of $718 paid for relief in
Buffering caused by floods , nearly as
much as Council Bluffs. He termed
the city as ono of 4,000 or 5,000 in-
hsbitanta , and the expenditures on
streets had boon over $24,000. Dav
enport was also cited as a little town ,
in which the assessed valuation was
85,084,000. Omaha waa stated as as-
sossnd $5,800,000 , and haying twelve
pplicomon. St. Joseph's total oxpon-i
ditures wore stated at $87,400. Kan
sas City's bonded dept was reported
as $1,343,000. Burlington's popula
tion was cited at from 20,000 to 22-
000 people and its liabiliticB$521,000
In comparison with these waa
placed this city , its salaries amounting
to$2G27 , and its total expense of $55-
000 , or a little more than Sioux City
and Marahnlltown.
This showing might have boon of
some value if the facts had only boon
given as they really exist , bu * the
speaker who had so much to say
against the newspapers for not stating
the facts as they exist clearly misled
his hearers. In the first place ho
understated the amount of expendi
tures inthis city as is known by nil.
Ho placed thorn at about $55,000.
Iho record shows that thorohavo boon
$07,000 worth of bills allowed up to
February 1st ton months' bills , nnd
not for n full year , as in the cases of
the cities citoa. In professing to give
information to the workingmen ho
should have stated the facts.
In regard to Mnrshalltown ho stated
that the police cost there $3,000 and
that $25,002 was expended on the
streets. The reports show that for
about ton months , the police cost only
$1,752 , and that the streets and ulloys
cost only $11,253. Such is a fair
sample of the way "information" is
given the workingmen by the mayor
in response to the request.
The statements regarding Sioux
City were about as far out of the way.
The speaker , who so kindly complied
with the workwomen's request for in
formation , told them that it was n
city of from 4,000 to 5,000 people ,
and that it expended on its streets
over $24,000. Ho made those state
ments as being the substance of facts
given him by the mayor of that city ,
Mayor Smith , of that city , has sent
to THE BEE a copy of the statement
made by him to Mayor Vaughan , in
which ho says that "tho sum total of
all our expanses from the 1st of April
to the 1st of February is/$15,180 , "
and that the population of that city is
between 10,000 and 11,000. In this
same statement of which the mayor
pretended to base his statements in
talking to the workingnmn , it appears
that this $15.180 includes expendi
tures for an artesian well and for re
lieving flood Bufforcra , BO that "tho
actual amount expended for current
expenses and improvements for the
ton months was $13,908. " Place beside -
side this the speaker's ' statement that
over $24,000 was expended on streets
alone and it becomes
, evident how ac
curate was the "information" which
ho pretended to give , and which ho
claimed the papers could not or would
not giyo.
The sneaker throw into his remarks
some valuable informatioh concerning
the election , as to what oftlcora were
to bo elected , the time of opening and
closing the polls , and the matter con
tained in the official proclamation , al
ready published.
Ho urged that the improvements of
the city should be kept up , nnd that
an enthusiastic , liberal policy should
bo followed , by which the city would
bo kept on the boom. lie gave some
hard thumps to these who objected to
being taxed , and claimed that some of
the richest men in the city were being
taxed much less in proportion tlinii
the workingmon. In this connection
lie alluded frequently to ono workingman -
man , who had paid $100 for a homo ,
nnd it was assessed at $375 , and cited
him time nnd again as an example of
the men who ronlly pay the tnxcs ,
while the rich men were kicking.
There is no doubt about there being
sonic truth In what the speaker said
upon the uiidcr-tnxntion of the rich
nnd tlm over-taxation of the poor , but
his example was an unfortunate ono
for him to select. The man whom ho
thus hold up as an example has
already begun kicking against his as
sessment , and with much apparent
justice. Mayor Vaughan himself
spoke in a recant council meeting ,
urging some action to lessen that
man's taxes , and calling attention tote
to the man's cause of complaint. In
addressing the workingmen , however ,
and giving the "information desired , "
ho cited this man us in strange con
trast with the tax-payers who kick.
The mayor throw into his talk much
oi what ho termed "but ; dust , " and
which ho said the press would pay
moro attention to than the real facts
which oo gave. Ho announced him
self a candidate for mayor , said ho
had § 25,000 worth of property ,
showed his tax receipts , footing up
$150 , told nbout putting in his own
time nnd that of a horse in the city's
service , and that ha bought his own
hard coal , otc. Ho had boon told to
stop and think before going ahead
with improvements. Ho aid not
want to stop and think. Ho aaid iifo
was too short. Ho had done a great
deal to advertise the city , had got the
excursion party of aailway men to
pass resolutions advertising the city
as n big railway center , had prepared
a big pulF of the city for the United
States census , had caused a denial of
the small pox scare to bo published in
35,000 papers of the country , etc. ,
etc.
etc.Such
Such items were thrown in paren
thetically in connection with the
graver nnd moro important subjects.
His earnest words about pushing for
ward improvements and making the
city one in fact ns well as in name ,
when sifted a ut from the small feed
with which they were mixed , would
receive endorsement from wido-awako ,
enterprising citizens , who want to BOO
the cily grow , but the impression was
evidently sought to bo made that
Vaughan ns mayor was the only moans
of getting such growth and improve
ments.
At the close of the speech a com
mittee , consisting of David Jorman ,
H. G. Grail , 0. Rape , Charles Sears
and F. Dal ton , was appointed tomako
up a ticket for the city election. They
mot after the adjournment of the
mooting and nominated Vaughan for
mayor.
A FAROE.
That Is What the Investigations
Against tbo Police Amounts to.
The special committee appointed
by the council consisting of Alder
men Spotman , Keller and Raino , to
investigate the charges made against
Fields , concluded by their labors yes-
torday. The day previous the chief
amTMax Mahn appeared before them ,
and told the same as they have already
told concerning the arrest and release
young Stockdalo , who was found con
cealed in Malm's bedroom , intent on
robbery. They have both denied
time nnd again the charge that Stock-
dale's father paid a monpy considera
tion moro than sufliciont to cover
Mahn'a previous losses by robbery ,
and this was the reason why no in
formation was filed. The witnesses
were in fact both for the defense , and
no witnesses appeared for the proso-
cticfon to support the charges.
Col. Koatfoy , who had publicly
made and reiterated the charges , and
coupled other grave charges against
the police was with thorn notified to ap
pear , but failed to do BO. Yesterday
a subpcena was issued by the committee -
too and served upon him. Ho en
dorsed upon the back of the same a
reply in substance that as soon as the
committee was empowered to sub-
pcuna witnossc.s and compel their at
tendance , ho would comply and not
before. A subptuna was also issued
for Mr. Gollnor , who has boon named
as a 'witnofls who know about the
Stockdalo matter. He failed to ap
pear , and the committee could do
nothing but close their proceedings ,
and exonerate the chief from the
charges , City Attorney Holmes being -
ing empowered to draw up the report
to the council.
The investigation is a decidedly un
satisfactory one , as it nas not brought
accuser and accused face to face. The
committee could do no. moro than re
quest these who made the charges to
back them up and ns they stood upon
a quibble and refused to appear there
remained only to hoar the voluntary
denial of the accused , and read the
only verdict possible ono of exonera
tion.
tion.As
As far us the public is concerned
the matter rests just where it did be
fore the investigation , except that the
force of the charges has boon broken
by the fact these who pretend to know
damaging facts decline to appear and
face the committeo. In this respect
the chief has gained n point , but the
work of the committee has thrown no
now light upon the matter and shown
up no now facts.
FISH CULTURE.
Proffroea of Thla Great Undertaking
In Iowa.
Dei Molira ! Dltjutcli to The Chicago Tribune.
State Fish Commissioner Shaw has
been in the city for several days look
ing after the interests of the fish
hatching house of the state and to as
certain the temper of legislators to
ward the system , Ho is a decided
enthusiast on fish culture , and a most
prodigious worker. Very few men
would have accomplished so much as
ho has with the limited moans at his
command. When the subject of fish
culture was first brought before the
legislature it was received witli de
rision , and Dixon , of Wapolio , who
introduced the measure in the house ,
was derisively charged with concoct
ing a Bchomo to supply Oltumwn with
suckers at the expense of the state ,
lint the fact.i nnd his inexorable logic
overcame the earplugs of Iho
ignorant , nnd the system was in-
nugurntcd with a mere pittance
granted to got it started , under
the supposition that it would die out
nu n nine days' ' wonder , or a mere
chimera of no practical utility. Mr.
Shaw , under most adverse circum
stances , went on nnd started n hatch
ing housci at Anamosn on r ( small
stream supplied from springs of pure
water. His success has been remark
able , and in the meantime the people
have learned much of the importance
of the work , Ponds nnd streams bar
ren of fish have been abundantly
stocked with fish , Lakes have boon
cuppliod with valuable kinds not be
fore known. Each fall since 1870 ho
hns gathered from the sloughs along
the Mississippi , which were drying
up , immense quantities of black nnd
striped bnss , wnll-oycd pike , crappies ,
sunliali , catfish , eel , nnd other kinds ,
and transported them to interior
waters of the state. Over 5,000,000
fish have been thus distributed , and if
one in ton of them should roach the
weight of 2.\ \ pounds each it would
give a weight of G2u torn. Fish
from this planting are now being
caught in abundance where none
were known before , which proves they
have become established. To this has
also been added the breeding of fish
at the hatching-house , where Califor
nia salmon , brook trout , shad , white
fish , lake trout , nnd col have been
propagated and distributed over the
state by the million. In Northern
Iowa were found several streams most
admirably adapted to brook trout.
They were stocked , and last year trout
were caught from them weighing two
nnd three pounds each. No trout
was ever aeon in these streams before
these planted by the stato. In 1876-
77 a largo number of silver bass were
put in Spirit Lake Last fall they
wore ; caught in lar.jo numbers by
fishermen with hook and line , show
ing that this valuable game fish has
done well.
The last legislature made provision
for an additional hatching house at
Spirit Lake , where those kinds of fish
adapted to largo lakes could bo propa
gated , thus avoiding the danger and
risk of transportion. January 15 ,
1881 , there was received at thib house
500,000 whitefish eggs , which were
hatched with n total loss of less than
3,000. The same winter was hatched
there 200,000 Lake Superior trout
eggs. These wore all put into Spirit
Lake and Okiboji Lake , two largo
lakes in Dickinson county , connected
by a narrow isthmus.
During the last year the commis
sioner has given much attention to the
Gorman carp. He considers it the
coming food fish in Iowa , which will
supplant all others , and that in the
not far distant future more attention
will bo given to its cultivation than is
now given to the domestic fowl ; for ,
said ho , it bears the same relation to
other fish that'tho .domestic fowl does
to other birds. Tlit-rc are three kinds
of carp the leather oi scaleless , the
minor , and the scale. The first is
deemed the best , and it is this variety
which has been selected for Iowa.
They are voracious eaters , hardy and
prolific , while they are considered
equal to any fish for food known ex
cept trout. They feed on cooked po
tatoes , cabbage , lettuce , parsley ,
woods , waste meat , garbage from the
kitchen , malt , and nearly all kinds of
cooked grain. They are in season for
eating from October to April. They
will endure the heat in water which
most other fish could not , while in ex
treme cold weather in winter they go to
deep water and burrow into the mud ,
head down , until only their tnils can
bo seen , packing themselves close to
gether in groups of a dozen. A carp
pond should have muddy bottomwell
supplied with plants , eight feet deep
in the deepest portion , and shallow at
the shore. If for breeding purposes ,
it should bo so arranged so it can bo
drained. No other fish should be per
mitted therein , as the carp is exceed
ingly timid , and a very small fish
even a minnow two inches long would
worry n five-pound carp to death. The
presence of aquatic plants in a carp
pond is necessary , as the fish feed
largely on the parasites which attach
to the plants , and also attach their
eggs to these plants. Being vegeta
rians and feeding on food not sought
by carnivorous fish , they will grow and
thrive in ponds and streams where
other fish abound , while their prolific
breeding habits will furnish immense
additional food for bass and other car
nivorous fish.
