THE IOWA AUDITOR. The ttato of Iowa ia just now Interest d In the fight that ii going on between Governor Sherman nnd Andltor Brown , he tronblo teams to have arisen over the efutal of the auditor to account for cer- nln foof , which ho claimed ns hia own otsonal perquisites. Under the atatnto ho gevornor , bcforo approving the ofliolal end of a state ofllcor who baa boon re- lectod , must ba taliaficd that all money cd property that have come Into his lands by virtue of hia oflice , have boon ally accounted for. The governor hnd earned that the auditor had examined a argo number cf incorporated banks , thcr than savings banks , and had net rc- ) ortca the fees , which amcunted to sever al thousand dollars. It was hold by the governor that these fees mutt go Into the rcaaury , oa the auditor bad no light to demand extra compensation for duties re quired to bo performed by such officer , and furthermore that hia action n demanding fees for auch tank examinations wcra Dimply e.xtor- ious , aa there was no authority for oxcci- og thorn. Under these circnnutancos the ovcrnor refused to approve the auditor's ) end , and weald not accept a statement of the auditor s 7lca b'y nMclerk. It corns to us that if , as the governor maln- alna , the fees were unauthorized and wera tlmply extortions , thoyonght _ taJie aturuod to the bankers from whom they rero oxtorlcd , instead of going to the rcasury. The atato in accepting ouch monejs wonld bo just aa utility of oxter- ion as Auditor Drown , and the s'ato ' bai 10 inoro right to that money than Brown ma. Tire auditor mndo a propcsltion it eave It to the courts to decldu to whom ho morroy belongs , and meantime ho vould deposit a sum with tha atato treas urer equal to the amount cf tbo foes , to io disposed of in accordanca * with the egal decision. This proposition was made upon the condition that the gover- lor would approve the auditor's bond , ut the governor refused to do thia , bo- auso , aj ho claimed , ho would thereby lolato the statute , and at the name time elfjvso the old bondsmen , It is also charged against tha auditor hat he has drawn warrants for nearly ! G,000 and can only show vouchers for 157. In answer to thii the auditor Inlrua that ho can show by his recoids nd the stubs of the warrant book how ho money has been expended. The cnimittoo of experts thai examined the accounts , except the bank fees , have made a report to the governor , but its ontonts have not Incn made public. ? he governor declared that be was ready 0 approve the auditor's bond whenever re would preicnt the proper vouchers for warrants drawn , and make full return of eos collected and received. To this the auditor replied that he was prepared to how where every cent appropriated to .ho use of his oflico had gone , but that no one had a right to dictate how his oflico shall be conducted. The governor Is auatained In his action by the attorney general , and ho denies that ho has bcn nflanncod In any way by insurance com- > anioj , which have been fighting the au ditor becacso ho has thorough'y Invettl- ated their affairs and exposed "the wild cat" institutions. The auditor , oa the other hand , maintains that hia oflico is a ca-ordlnato branch of the state govern- uent , and although , the governor his the power to suspend him , ho Iras no const- : utlonal right to interfere with hia office lor to review his ofliclal acts , that power jelng reserved to the courts. The casa las at last got into the courts upon the petition of J. W. Cattell , who has been iiado auditor pro torn , asking for 1 mandnmaa to compel Browne ; o tnrn over the clfects and books to him. The paoplo of loira , and particularly the citizens of Des Molnes , arn anxiously awaiting the result , which will prsbably rot bo reachoi for ecvcr.il daya. In Dos Slolnee , where Brown haaa great many rlonds , there ia considerable excitement. Dn Saturday an Indignation meeting in rla behalf was held , and the matter wai diacuEscd , and Browa's friends urged the adoption of resolutions sustaining him and danoucc'ng the governor. Some cool loaded > : ltiz ° m , however , advised theme ; o leave Hi 3 settlement of the contorvorey to the courts. This imely advice hid the effect of prevenlinu tbo patsago of the proposed resolutions. The governor , being retpon- sible for good government , la no doubt 'ng advisedly and for tbo protection of the otato , and inasmuch as.tho auditor , eo far as wo understand the cose * , refuses to comply with the law , tire probability ia that the governor will bo Mutulned. ANOTHER LA.ND GRAB EXPOSED. Senator Van Wyck , over t n the alert In the interests of the people , has nn. earthed n glgantto railroad land grant swindle which was perpetrated duting the closing hours of the lat administra tion by uo less a personage than a Mem ber of the cabinet , Mr. Teller , secretary of the Interior. By the fraudulent tct of Mr. Teller In juthorizing , on Hie 3d of March , the Issuance of patents for the lands embraced in the ao called "Back bone" land grant , Jay Gould , 0. P , UuutlugtoD , and their syndicated astoci ates , obtained title to 700,000 acres ol hud , valued at over $3,000,000. The history of tbU Infamos steal is decided ! } Interesting , as It la ono of the moat an daclona land robberies over committed and pait'cularly ' so In the last act o Its consummation. In 1871 congress passed an act giving a land grant tc the Now Orleans , Ylcltsburg one Baton Rouge railway , npon condition that the road should bo completed with in five years. The company never con structed a foot ot read , bnt merely Issued bonds with which it swindled the public. Then following the example s > t by tha Texis Pacific which assigned Its un earned hud grant to the Southern Pan ic for tbo benefit of Hunlingtoo the Now Orleans , Vlcksburg & Biton llougo company , ia 1831 , nmlti on assignment of its unearned grant to the Now Orleans t PaciGc , which had previously ofked congrcis to fcrfcik the grant. The New Orleans & l'aifio sold its charter lights to the Texas Pacific , but reserved to itself the fraudulently atsignod "backbono" grant. The American Improvement company , a second Credit Moblllor organization , composed of Gould , Huntington and otb- tri , eventually got hold of this grant , and rave over since baon endeavoring to in duce congress to confirm it , ao that pat ents could bo issued to them. It was discovered recently that tha thlovea ox- oectedtogoi patent ! from the interior department , and thereupon a protest from a number of tonatora and congress man was published. Nevertheless Mr. Teller authorized tbo Issuance of the patents , and juit bcforo ho wont out of oflico the steal was completed. The resolution of Inquiry Introduced by Senator Van Wyck Is n bDinbtholl In the cinip of the thieves. It will undoubt edly result In a thorough Investigation. Mr Teller will bo called upon to explain , and wo would no ; bo surprised to ace liltn expelled from the sonata. His whole course duting hia admlnittraiion a ) secretary of the interior haa not been froofiom suspicion , and his last set atrongly confirms tire rumors of crooked ness. Ilia authorization of the issuance of the "backbone" patents was probably n reward to Jay Gould for valuable assis tance in electing him senator from Cole rado. Gr. : < , BLACK , of DanvlHo , Illinois , who iis been appointed commissioner/ ' - alone , w&a born at Lexington , Mletouri , In 1839 Ho graduated at Wabash cello - lo o , Indiana , mil fought gallantly for tha union during the war , corning out a arlgidiei'-ftonetol. Immediately up'jii jolug mustered out ho was admitted to ; ho practice of hwho having studied in a Chicago law oflico just prior to the war. Gen. Black baa taken an active- part in democratic polities' ' , and has frequently jecn honored by nominations for oflico when the oflico was oat of eight of hia party. In this way ho has made several congressional race ) in the Danvlilo dis trict , being the nominee of his party Isst fall. Gen. Black wis the democratic cindidatofor lieutenant-governor In 1872 and when Gen. Logan waa. sent to tha ecmtc in 187'J Black was the demo cratic caucus nominee. Ho waa a delcgatc-at large to the late democratic national convention , before which nn at tempt waa made to pat him in nomlnaticn for the which ho vice-presidency , pre vented. Ho was mentioned aa a candi date for the Lulled States aanato from Illinois , and it la erupoctcd that hia ap pointment to bo commissioner of pensions was dno to tha Influence of Morrison , who made a flying tiip to Washington immediately after the Inauguration. Mor risen waa afraid that Black might bo trotted ont against him ns a dark horco In the senatorial race , and he accordingly wanted to get him oat of tbu way and at the tame time strengthen himself with Black's influence. However , the ap pointment of General Black ia an emi nently proper one , he being an old aol- dicr , and wo believe it will prove tatis- Factory to the pensioners. THE sundry civil bill , as it wont from the house , provided appropriations amounting to about $22,000,000 , and the sanata added about § 5,500,000 , the jreattr part of which waa for public buildings. The cities that were awarded the largest sums wore Baltimore , § 227- 000 ; Brooklyn , $135,000 ; Columbus , Ohio , § 110,000 ; Detroit , $200,000 ; Con cord , N. H. , $100,000 ; Jefferson City , Mo. , $135,000 ; Sacramento , $100,000 ; Troy , $100,000 ; Wilmington , $100,000 ; New Albany , Ind , $100,000 ; Manchester - tor , $100,000 ; Lexington , $150,000 ; fpringfield , Oh'o , $100,000 ; Minneapo lis , $110,000 ; Louisville , $200.000. AH the other cities that have boon given ap propriations under thi ] bill received less than $100,000. Among the cities In the wcat that have boon given appropriations are , Nebraska City , $75,000 ; Council BlulTj , $50,000 , Keokuk , $100000 ; St. Joe , $50,000 ; Kans6s City , $20,000 ; Hannibal , $55,500 ; Danvar , S28.COO ; Des Mcinea. $15,000 ; Dnbuquo , $8,000 ; Ltavonwcrth , $50,000 ; Peorla , 875,000 ; Quincy , $47,500 ; Wichita , $50,00 : Fort Scott , $50,000 The public money could nothava been better invested and thia plan of internal improvements in the shape of public baildintja will bo heartily endorsed by the people. A MAN can never become- famous or popular in Lincoln unless ho can dive into the state treasury or stand in ( with a lot of public thieves or plunderers. A fair reflex of the slate of public morals in the capital city of Nebraska may bo found in the special dispatches sant out from that place to the Chicago and St. . Louis paperi concerning the action of the legislature with regard to the school land frauds For Imtance , the Chicago Inter-Ocean special regales the country with the ac count of the presentation of a silver water pitcher to Glenn KendaU , and winds up with the statement tbat both houses of the legis'aturo heartily endorsed Kendall. The next thing in order will be a pro- aontation to Nobei , and then a dispatch .will bo sent out stating that the ttito of ficials congratnlated him upon his honest , brilliant and successful carotr from' war den of the penitentiary to banker and opera house owner. WIUTETKH grading la dona tbis year should to onanoh thcrnightaros that are to be paved in the near future. Haraoy street should be g'aded from Sixteenth to Tffonty-fifth , Dong'ai fr m Seven- tenth wcitwsrJ , and Capital nvonuo from Seventeenth to IVonlielh. Capital avenue , by the way , should alto ba paved tills year. It requites but llltlo grading , and can bo made tLo most beau- .Ifcl atrott In the city by Icing parked n the center from Seventeenth to Twentieth. This con bo easily done ta It la fcrly feet wider ( ban any other strotit , and by parkins. It the expense of paving would ba greatly reduced. Tin : total number of federal oflice s Is 115,928 , and It is laid tbat only about 12 par cent comci within the provisions of the civil service act of 1883. In other words nearly 14,000 government ornploj03 stand a good show of retaining their places , while over 100,000 p'acea are open to the democrats. The new ad * ministration has been In power five days , and only eight positions have been filled the cabinet portfolios and the cammis- slonerihlp of pensions which is at the rate of ono and throe-fifths positions per- day. Will some duircrat ploaeo figure out how long It will take it to fill 100,000 ofltccs at this rate ? Lv answer to sdvoral inquiries wo will atato tbat the bill repealing the pro-emp- Lion and timbercultnro acts did not pass congrcep , as it was not reached amid the rush of business during the closing data of the session. It will , however , come up at the next aotaion of congtcss and will probably bo passed , aa It haa been recommended fcr passage. Meantime the pro-omptlon and timber culture laws remtln in full force. THE act constituting this commission la comprehensive and explicit. It creates a board which will ba in tyrapathy with the people and In intlroato relations with the railways. Jicpublican. Its relations with the railnayo will be much more intimata than Its sympathy with the people will ba tinccra. COUNCILMAN HASCALL always bus an cjo on the main chance. Ho has ao arranged the paving dhtrict on Thirteenth street as to bring the pavement to tbo boundary of his property , bnt not aa inch beyond it. Ho will thus yat all the benefits of the pavfment without paying a cent of taxes. No good business man , should ref usa to narve the city in Iho capacity of council man for at least ono term.

THE Republican sajs that had the leg- ialatura done nothing but pass the rail way commlsfbn bill , It would have been worth the money it has coat to kaep It In existence. Tha Republican of conreo means tha1 the bill Is worth to tbo rail roads what it cost them to gat it through.

The people , If they so desire , can answer that qneation. Wno is to bo city auditor ? Thia is an important office and should bo filled by a thtrongh-going business man. Now let ns aao who controls the federal patronage Senator Miller or Senator Moiton ? ODDS AND KNDS. Talking about the new administration reminds mo of some ploisant little gossip 1 picked up the other day In regard to the ac- ( malutnuca of some of our citizens with tbo men that have been brought to tha front at Washington. I am told that Colonel Savage ia nn old friend of Judge Kndicott , the cow Becrctary of war , of whom ho speaks in the highest tonns. Those two Rentlomon wore in the tame class at Harvard college , whore they graduated. Incident ! ? I am reminded that Colonel Savage , in bis early daya , waa the in- tim a to friecd of Arthur , at whoeo wedding ho stood up ai groomsman , and during the war lie was n warm friend of General Fie- rnont , upon whoso staff ho served. Mr. JCd Hnney was a schoolmate of Col. Yil.is , the postmaster-general , In Wisconsin , and remembers - members him ns being a very bright young man. Judge Vilnn , the father of the colonel- carne from Vermont to Wisconsin , and wan novcrnl times elected a member of the Wisconsin legislature. Upon his dentil he loft quito a fortune , but when it was divided among his largo family , it did not give to each a very Inrge sum. William P.Vllas , hla tonwho has ri en tea a cabinet position , graduated at the Wisconsin state university at Madison , studied law and soon after beginning practice he built up a largo law buiinesB. 1'or lome yearn bo has been making from 615,000 to S20.100 a year , and is s&id to be worth ia the vicinity of $200,000. His elrgant homo at Madiion Is worth about $50,000. He is not yet forty-five years of age. Ho li said to be u shrewd buti- nets man and rather close In financial affairs , but nevertheless is very popular among all who know him. Mr , J , J , L , C. Jowutt , the city clerk , haa the honor of being an old chum of Grover Cleveland. Years ago , long before drover Cleveland over dreamed H ( becoming governor of the empire itute or president of thia glorious republic , he1 and M > . Jewett mod to "take in the town1 together , and if Mr. Jewett would only talk I believe that ho could gho us uomo very Interesting - teresting chapters from the lif of his old chum. Incidentally It occurs to mo tbat il Mr. Jewett U not elected to a city otlice thid spring ho ought to ba\e no difficulty In catch , ing on to a lucrative federal appointment without the trouble of getting two or three thousand ligners to a petition. Mr. Jntnes Meeeath , of thia city , like J.SterlingMorton , of Arbor LoJgc , is a great friend and admirer of Uayard , who has been made secretary of elate. It should not ho forgotten that l > r. Miller li acquainted with Dan Manning , the power behind the throne , I had Almost over1 looked Captain 8 m. Herman.

Sutphon wnnn quartermaster nt Nashville , nnd at Iho clone of the war nn oulor was Issued that the mil- dlors could buy their guru from the govern incut at $10 npiece.tuij take thorn homo with Ihom. Mr , SntphoD , who hnd provided n good deal ot money for the toldiert , bought n lot ot these guns nnd bnd thorn inckod In > ug boxes nnd shipped to Governor Saundrm nt Omahn. About that time M. B. Hnll , uhq had chnrco of the construction of a portion tion of the east end of the Union I'aclflc , came Into Omnhn to got sonic nrnui to bo used ns ho claimed , ngalntt the Indian * , who were troublesome , but really ngainst the settlers along the line , who objected to the trees being cut down for railroad tiei. Mr. Sntphonvvho hnd returned to Omaha , lot him have n sup ply of the army guns which ho hod purchated nt Nashville. The boxes were turned over nnd redirtcled to Hull , but , un fortunately , when they were dumped out nt their destination the settlers discovered the name of Gov. Saimdera on the other side , nnd they immediately jumped to the conclu sion that the governor bad been instrumental In sending arms to bouaod agarnst thorn while they were defending their right * . Whe-n the gov amor came up ns n candidate for the sen * ate the first ttmo tha settlers were n opposed to him. Mr. Sutphen is sued n lot of explanatory circulars , showing that Gov. Sannders was In no way responsible for the shipment of arms , but the farmers were not convinced. When Hitchcock was running for the son ata the eccond time , nnd was op posed .by Saundeis , Mr. Sutphon , remem bering the injury that had been done to Stum- dors by hia mistake in the arms shipment some yearn before , determined , if possible , to do the governor a good turn in tha Renatorinl campaign. It will ba remembered tbat , nt the democratic county convention n resolution was pasted instructing their I members of the leglslntnra to vote for n democrat for senator flrot , last , and all tha time. This wns considered n death blow to Hitchcock , nnd his friends triad to bavo the resolution rescinded , but Sutphen , Mills nnd Norton mndo up their rnlads to defeat - feat this movement by provcnting a qucnuu , and in this way thety succeeded , Hitchcock did not get the democratic votes , ami Saun- dera waa elected to the United States senate. Sutphra has ever since considered his action in this matter as nn ollsott to tha blunder ho had made years before. * By the way , the father ot Mr. 1) . C , Sutphcn occo owned a large portion of the present ulto cf Cleveland. He was a physician in the vicinity of Toledo , where there was a colony of French settlers , who were very poor , and among whom there was n great dual of tickness. The doctor took any. thing that was offered to him in payment for his Eervices , and In this way ha secured a hun dred calves. His wife , who had nn eye to business , traded the calves for HO acres of land , which Is now In the very center of Cleveland , The land , however , waa soon afterwards disposed of. It ia the same old of "what have " story might been. Janus McArdlo , after whom McArdlo precinct Is named , is ono of the pioneers of Douglas county. Ono day , BOOU afterhotook up his cUim about the year 1835 or IS.'li. a party of fifteen Indians unexpsct ably walked into his shanty just as ho was getting dinner , Mr , McArdle.who waa considerably frightened , treated them very politely , and would have asked them to take dinner with him if he could have made himself understood. But they did not wait for an invitation. They helped them solves to everything m sight , ami finally ona of them saw a small keg in a cor ner of the room , and remirked , "Ugh ! Whisky ! Goodl GooJ ! " Thereupon he took up tbo keg aud put it to his mouth to drink , but instead of whisky a lot of punpow- der ran into hia mouth. This made him mad and ha threw the powder keg into the fire , be fore ho know what he w.u daing. In nn in stant tha Indians comprehended the situation and they all ran out of the cnbin , followed by Mr. Mc rdle. They had hardly gotoutside before - fore the powder exploded and blow the shanty in nil directions. Strange to say no ono was hurt , except a mule which was tied near the house , * . * The lower house of the Nebraska legisla lure voted to give the legislative reporters of newspapers $25 each. We don't how the reporters will get the money unions the members bers rnakn the r > ppropriaton ! out of their own pockets. The members , however , have just ns much light to allow the reporters $25 nach as they have to permit them to carry off the chairs which they occupied during the cession , a custom that has hitherto boon sanctioned by a voto. This brings to mind tha fact that the Connecticut legislature has spent 5-32 COO in tea yearn in needless gratuities to roportcrH of $250 each. Borne individuals and papers have received two or throe thousand dollars , and others push forward mere "sticks" GO iu to got a ( hare of tha swag- This practice is a disgrace to the state aud to the newspapers thereof.
