A WASHINGTON correspondent
speaking of the late reunion of th
Army of the Potomac , declares that i
consisted of 200 or 300 raon who hai
boon officers in the army , getting together
gothor and declaring how bravo the ;
were In the war. It ia a portiuon
question whether the Army of th
Potomao was composed of officer
alone.
ALL sorts of rumors regarding General
oral Crook's command are flyln
through the press. Ono report at
nonnoos a mutiny of the Apach
scouts and another the m&ssaoro c
the American general. Another re
counts nn engagement with the hoi
tiles and the annihilation of the wandering
doring Jnh , It IB safe to Bay that n
reliable news of any nature has com
from Gou. Crook's command attics h
cut off , U communication with th
roar and plunged into th
Sonora mountains. No novt
la good nows. Dad news would hav
traveled in dotall long before this i
any accident had happened to th
command. Basldos , the cordon c
Mexican troops which are hemmln
In the aavagoa would certainly hav
learned if the American general ha
suffered defeat or disaster.
"Yon need have no fear of our In
dian scouts , " wrote an ofiicor trlt
Crook In Arizona. "All of thei
leave relatives or families a
San Carlos , who they kno
will bo hootages for the !
good behavior , and they are as aoxloc
ao the general himself to cover the 02
podltion with glory. " That la th
altnatlon in a nutshell. If any mis
fortune befalls Crook's command , !
will bo because of overwhelming ]
superior numbers on the side of th
enemy , not because his own troops an
scouta are lacking in loyalty or thol
commander in ahrowdncos , energy c
soldierly ability. Another week wl
probably bring definite tidings froi
Mexico , which will convince al
doubtora that Ueorgo Orook has nc
lost his head or his Indian allies.
THE AWAKENING OF IOWA-
The vigorous appeal of the Davon-
ort board of trade to the pcoplo of
own , calling upon them to organize
oalstanco to the nggroseiona and ex.
ortlonc of the railroads , has already
ouud a place In oar columns. It Is a
aim-tempered but strong document ,
arofnllyproparedby loadlngcltlzonsof
antorn lown , and strongly fortified by a
ollcctlon of facts aud a Bcrlos of com'
arlsons , which challenge oontradlc-
[ on and defy denial on the part of the
orporatlons.
The charges made nro the old , yet
vor now , accusations of corporate op-
rcBslon and injustice , of wicked die-
rlmlnatiouB and nonloas extortion In
atato which pays an annual trlbnto
f more than $30,000,000 to the rail-
oads which blood her territory and
ovy exorbitant trlbnto upon agrloul-
nro , trade aud Industry. With local
atcs double and treble those charged
n eastern roads doing no greater bus-
ness and with discriminations which
orco each year from the atato a nnm
our tlmos aa largo as that
required to aupport the government
t is no wonder that the people of
! owa fool that their commissioner ays-
cm is a sham ; that their laws to regulate -
ulato the corporations are halting and
nofficlont , and that the only resort
must bo in the people themselves ,
n whom la vested by the constitution ,
; ho statutes and the decisions of the
courts the final Bottlomout of a press
ing question.
Appreciating thla fact , the Daven
port board of trade calla upon
; ho people of Iowa to prepare -
pare for an energetic campaign ,
, o bo fought on the issue
of controlling the corporations by just
and efficient legislative enactments ,
[ t appeals to voters to organize for the
collection of facts and the education
of public Bontlmont. A convention late
to bo hold early In the summer to for
mulate the complaints of the poopk
of Iowa against the railroads and to
ontlino a programme for the fall
campaign in which every candidate
for the legislature will bo forced tu
plant himself upon an ami-monopoly
platform and will bo jndged no lose
by his past record than by his present
profosalons ,
This is the awakening of Iowa , But
I Iowa IB aroused over the Injustice
from which she Is Buffering , how much
more reason ia there for action on th
part of the people of Nobraaka. The
local ratoa in Iowa are trifling as com
pared with the rates imposed on the
producers of thla state. When It
costs a Nebraska shipper , distant lose
: han sixty miles from the river , more
'or freight from Omaha than it does
'ram Chicago to Council Bluffs oi
Pacific Junction , the shameful oxtor-
lon of the local roads becomes appa
rent. The people of Nobraaka and
[ owa are being mercilessly bled tc
coop up dividends on inflated atockt
watered to fill the pockets of the Dll
ons and the Amos' , the Forbes' anc
the MltchellB aud Vandorbllts. Witt

lying in their own hands our produo
era will have only themselves to blame
If they fall to apply the remedy.
WHAT Is the matter with the oltj
conuctl , and why do they delay li
passing an ordinance for the creation
of an inspector , whoso duty it shal
bo to sco that all connections with oui
water and gaa malna and our BOWOI
pipes are done in a workmanlike manner
nor and under official supervision1
A serious bronk in the water mail
haa already made ita appearance undo :
the asphalt pavement on Douglai
street and the water la oozing from thi
surface and trickling along the gutters
A deep depression shows that thi
earth and coucroto underneath thi
pavement have been undermined
This would never hayo occurred if thi
joint had boon properly made at thi
first connection. Now that the ontln
central portion is to bo paved thi
summer , the council ought to los
no time in providing agalna
the recurrence of such 01
accident by drafting an ordinance lik
those which are In operation In othe
cities. This ordinance ought to pro
vide that no cut shall bo made in an ;
pavement by the qas or water com
pany or by any private party until
deposit of money shall have boon mad
to cover the cost of repair and luspoc
tion by an official Inspector of the clt ;
who shall be paid for the tlmo expended
ponded In supervising such work , ou
of the sum deposited with the boar
