The Iowa legislature has entered upon the third month of its session and yet it has passed but three acts of a general character and nine laws of a special or local bearing. Nearly a thousand bills have been intro duced , many of which slumber in com mittees , many others cumber the calen dar and the remaining portion have mot an adverse fate. No legislature for twenty years has made such slow pro gress , and not since 1872 , when Allison bought his way into the United States senate , have SDC1I CORRUPT INFLURKCES boon brought to boar upon any Iowa general assembly. The strongest lobby that over haunted the state capitol has been omnipotent this winter. This is particularly true of the representatives of the railway interests. They are not only numerous , 'but able and bold in their operations. They publicly ait in close proximity to the prominent members of railway committees and whisper words of counsel in their ears upon the very floors of either house while the business of the session is in progress. They ap pear at committee meetings armed with persuasive arguments against this or that measure , aimed at THE EXTOUTIONS OF THE MONOPOLIES and intended to protect the interests of tho-people. Favors are distributed in the cloak rooms , and thus the way is paved for delay until now it Booms very probable that no law will bo passed that \rill protect the people from the oppres sive system of discrimination in railway rates which has become such a common practice among Iowa roads. The gener als of this ARMY or IIAILTVAY XOBIIYISTS. are Judge Hubbard , of Cedar Rapids , the well-known attorney of the Chicago & Northwestern railway ; ox-Congressman UpdegralT , of the Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul ; Judge Harry Trimble and At torney Blytho , of the Chicago , Burling ton & Quincy ; and Supt. Meek of the Wabaah. Of the above' , Judge Hubbard is doubtless the most widely known. Ho first exhibited public notoriety on account of the caustic speech delivered in court several years ago in which ho arraigned the commercial travelers as a moral leper - or going about the land seeking to allure the neductivo maiden from the faith of rec titude. The effort vras a masterly one of the kind and has been translated into nearly every foreign tonguo. Hubbard's name has como before the public at amore moro recent date through the pages of the North American Review in which ho appeared as the brazondefondor of the system of corrupting public officers by the THE FREE UHE OF RAILWAY PASSES. The members of the lows legislature who have been receiving these favors may bo interested in learning with what object they are distributed. Wo quote for their edification from Hubbard's North American Review article : "It is not worth while to classify the person who receives the passes further than to say that these are supposed to bo given , and generally are , to men of the most influence and standing in the com munities where they reside , except , per haps , those given to shippers. Nor need it bo denied that the object generally is to ward off hostile legislation and unjuat judgments of the courts begotten of prejudice. Conspicuous among the re cipients of passeu are judges , and legis lators , and politicians. " It may bo added that up to date the efforts "to ward off hostile legislation" have been eminently successful. The OTHER MEMDEKS OF THE UAILWAY LO11UY are not -so well known as Judge Hub bard , but two of them are prominent : Judge Trimblehas boon the democratic candidate for governor , and United States Senator Updograff , the ablest member , except one , in the Iowa delega tion to the last congress , was defeated if or re-election by "Calamity" Wellor. Ho was immediately taken up by the rail roads , and is now doing them good serv ice. This little sketch of the chiefs of the lobby will servo to prepare - pare the readers of THE BEE for a clearer understanding of the work they have accomplished hero this winter by way of blocking legislation inimical to the railway interest'thp particulars of which will bo detailed in a succeeding dispatch. HLAUailTEUlNO MONOPOLY OPPONENTS. It is worth while to state hero that all the work is not beln ? devoted to the legislature. April 1 , the term of Major Anderson expires as member' of the board of railway commissioners. Ander son has had the boldnoia to condemn pooling and discrimination in rates. In these relations ho stands alone on , the board. The corporatione propose now to have him retired and great pressure it being brought to boar on the governor to accomplish that end. Judge MoDill , a previous member of the board , and a cor poration attorney is being urged for his place , It remains to bo scon whether the railroad , having captured .the legisla ture can bulldoxo the governor.
