The inaugural of Governor Lnrrabcc was modeled after the late message ol President Cleveland. Us extreme Icngtli would , require two section ? of a freight train to transport it across Iowa , and it1 * c.\hantivencs3 would justify the author to have had it bound in calf and circu lated in two volumes. Its polished and scholarly diction is iaultlcss , and would have passed muster creditably had it been delivered before an as.-cmbly of Harvard graduateIf ' anything it smacks a liltk too much of the ehi'.Mcs for the plain , matter-of-fact granger , who makes mi nine-tenths of the population' of Iowa. Starting out with a grand flourish ol Hunker Hill oratory the governor soar * aloft and tells n.s why our ancylors , the early settlers of the colonies , rebelled against I lie iniquity and tyranny of the mother country and took refuge on 1'lynioiith Hock , lie then launches out into n disquisition on l'io\idcnce and eternal justice , of which the following o\tmel is a fair sample : Thete K by the law of natine , an inllnintr lelntloii betueeii the policies ami fates of Kou'nnnetiK Tyranny and wion ? Inevitably lead tosnireriuj ; nud decay , while modem- tion atul lidit load to happiness ami pios- perlly. Any nation dlsrccaulln ; ; thuptrinnl ititcof justice \\lll sooner or Liter pay the penally tor the tinii'-Kte'ssloii ; and the longer tliedclayin coircctlngthu evil , the MNcicr will lie the judgment. Our own nation 1ms proved no exception to lids iiilc. * * . * lliilllntit as woie the deeds of our noble sous dtirinr the stiu-rgle for the putsevnlioa of the union and the iccoRiiilloii of human lights , It took lour long years to dcMiov u sjstem wliieli lor n century wo had nuitured. With this grandiloquent opening as ids text , Ilis K.\cellency dilates at consider able length upon the duty of the republic to protect its eitixeiis in casting an honest ballot , and having it properly counted. This is just and proper enough if the governor would only point out how the Iowa legislature can prevent or puni-h bulldo/.ing and fraudulent voting in South Carolina , Mississippi , Ohio , or Illinois After the purging of the ballot box the governor grinds out some .stale platitudes regarding the policy of protec tion which in his great wisdom he con siders tlio source of all our wealth and prosperity. He repeats what many * unthinking stump speakers have lime and again assured us that our nation under this policy has , during the last twenty-live years , made marvelous progress , and has grown in all the dements that contribute to the greatness - ness and happiness of a civilized people , notwithstanding the great destruction oc casioned by four years of civil war. Like so many political surface-thinkers , Governor Larrabec fails to comprehend that while protection has stimulated our industries and was an essential factor in developing American manufactures , this lias caused depression policy over-production , pression , stagnation and lock-outs. Ho overlooks the fact that the prosperity of Iowa is mainly duo to her productive soil and the industry of her men and women , and that her wealth has been multiplied by immigration from abroad. The fact that ten millions of immigrants have made their homes in this country since I860 , and added to the wealth of the nation more than enough to pay the national debt has escaped his narrow vision. TliU is not computing the piodtict of the labor of these ten millions of people. From protection Governor Larrabec goes into a detailed discussion of the pen sion policy , taxation and currency , civil service velorm , the industrial question , national education , postal telegraphy , and other topics of a purely national scope. These varied subjects the governor han dles with laborious detail , as if ho were president of the United States ami his inaugural addressed to 'congress and Ihe American people. In this respect , liowcver , Larrabee only falls into the footsteps of many other stale executives who grapple with the gravest problems , not only of the whole United States , but iho rest of the civilized and uncivilized world. This is true , for instance , of an able message delivered by the governor of Massachusetts , from which Governor Larrabco has bodily extracted the greater portion of his dissertation on national nll'iurs. So far as the message relates to the itl'airs of Iowa wo admit that it is in many respects commendable. His con clusions on some of the important ques tions requiring legislative action are sound and sensible , and his recommcnda- ions will doubtless be carried out. On the question of railway tralllo the gov- H-nor , like his predecessors , leans to wards the monopoly : md makes ! V 1U110 | cxn"So tor the exorbitant rates which are exacted from the shippers and producers. According to Governor Larrabeo the the railroad commissioner system has been a great blessing and profit to the people of Iowa. He asserts that the rates of transportation have been ma terially reduced through the commission ers , and much relief lias been atlbrdcd in tlio correction of abiu-es and impoM- tions , This cither implies ignorance on the part of the governor or a low esti mate of the intelligence of his constitu ents. The only material reduction of tolls has been in the passenger rates which were reduced several years ago by a legislative act. The commissioners' of Iowa , like these of Nebraska , have simply sowed the purpose of tlio railroads to throw dust in the eyes of the people , by procuring trilling concessions , wliilo the mo'st glaring abuses and highway robberies have been glossed over and "explained" away. On prohibition , the big bono of conten tion , tlio governor delivers an elaborate lecture. Taking tlio legislature to bo a troop of ignorant school-boys , ho starts out by lolling them the nature of corn- juiu'Q ami tlio history of alcohol from the earliest days to the present time. As a specimen brick we quote the Ural few lines of tlio prohibition section : Alcohol tins been known from time Im memorial. Like gunpowder unit dynamite , It Is Vcnelldal to man when propeily iist'il inul lor ilglitlul purposes ; like them it Is tcv- ilbly destructive when liupiupurly used , Civilized nations lii\of.uftt'ied : Kicntor evils from the use of idchollo hover-axes than wcio contained in the fabled box of Pandora , After wading through an ocean of in k to define his views as to the evils of in temperance and tlounderlng in the mir- ngo of doubt and uncertainty as to the proper solution of the problem , the gov Qvnorwinds up , like Jack lluiiaby , with tin opinion as is an opinion. If anybody , nfter reading tlio governor's message , san tell what that opinion is , ho can do better than Capt. Cuttle. Viuwcd from an outsldo standpoint it strikes us that the inaugural c the now governor of Iowa would hav < been much more acceptable to th farmers , merchants and laborers ti that state if ho had faXorcd them wit a plain , unvarnished , matter-of-fact , btisi ness message , taking an inventory o the slate's resources , making an cxliibi of its liabilities , and recommending > vha in his candid judgment was most benc ficial and practical to carry on th nfliiir * of slate with duo economy. \Vlml Docs It Slrnn ? Under direction of the county eonimfc sioncrs a grand jtity has been drawn fo the 1'cbruary term of the district court According to Mr. ljnm , clerk of th' ' court , this action was taken by the ad vice of tlio indues , who deem it piuden to avoid all po iblo controversy as t ( the legal conviction of criminals by an ; ruling of the supreme court on the lav authorizing the commissioners to dis pciisc with tlio calling of grand juries So far as the judges are eoiu'crncd , theii mot'nes in ordering the gram jury are above suspicion. It i only when ( he IKl of grand juror is examined that grave doubts arist with regard to ( lie real purpose for which the grand jury has been empanelled , ll is a notorious fact that the mysterioii' killing of Mrs. Latter is to be investigated by this grand jury. The deep inleresi taken in this case by ail classes of ( hi ; community , and the universal dcsin thai the mystery shall be thoroughly in vestigated by men who arc capable of honestly weighing the testimony and arriving at an impar tial conclusion , demanded that tins grand jury should have been carefully chosen from among our best citizens ami most substantial business men. If Mr , Laiier is an innocent man lie can well afford to place his cao in the hands ol such ti jury. Such was the impression when the .special grand jury was con vened las ) fall , lu response to this over whelming .sentiment the following grand jurors wore drawn : C. II. Dowey. George 11. Guy , Hobarl Williams ( of Little vt Williams ) , John Grant , Herman Kounlzc , liobcrt A. Harris , A. J. Simpson , Frank Murphy , W. J. Uroateh , George S. Mills , Charles J. Kar- bach , Cyrus Merion , J. S. Cantlield , K. Wyman , N. A. Kulin , J M. Simenil. Had this grand jury , after thoroughly sifting all the evidence , refused to return an indictment against Mr. Lauer , our citizens would have given him the henelit of an acquittal. 15ul there is such a marked contrast between the make-up of the.special grand jury and the one just drawn , that we would be diroliiit in our duty did we not enter our most earnest protest. A glance at the following ] \ < l will .stifllcc : Kd. Walsh , Ales. Ulack , 1 ! . K. Livcy , Win. McQueniiy , Peter O'Hourkc , GuHam - mil , Lawrence Duggan , JCJ-MJ Ostcrhout , Potcr Clinton , Collins Jordan , 1'c.ter Cross , J. W. Bunco , Julius lludow-ky , 15. Gordon , A. II. Willis. B. Lovett. It requires twelve vote- , out of tlio six- leecn to find an indictment. If any live men in this jury are tampered with then ; can bo no indictment , no matter bow overwhelming the evidence. With all duo respect to tlnS jury , and without singling out any of its members , wo boldly say that tlicro will be no trouble to tind live Milnurablo men among them , judging from the general reputation which sonic of them have heretofore borne. Now , why did the commissioners make up such a list ? Why do they pick out professional jurors and men who iavo no visible means of support to .sit on rand and petit juries ? The law re- ptircs that they make up a ist of sixty names from among the known tax-payers and cit- citizens. The intent of the law is that : hcy shall "elect men of character , known lo them to bo law-abiding , honorable and ibove reproach. Tins is u sacred duty.bo- causc it involves the life , liberty ami pro- icrty of every citizen. How have the L'ommissioncrs discharged this duty ? Out ) f the 10,000 or more voters of Douglas county the commissioners selected the following names , from which the grand and petit juries were drawn : First ward Peter Trenton , John Me- M ab , John Garvoy , Charles Dougherty , Michael Tempscy , Jacob Frank , Michael Jobling and Charles Hanley. Second ward N. S. Blanchard , Julius tudowfiky , B. Kummerling , Michael McCarthy. L. 15. WisbvVooi \ Nestil , 15. Lovott , Gus. HammillPatrickMcGovern , lucob Schlecht , Alc.x.

Hanson , Frank Kammer , Col lins Jordan. Dmalm , David Heed ; McArdle , Hiram | Vvory ; Milhird. Andrew Mocblcman : Douglas , Peter Grass , William Maroney. Thiu array of names out of the 10,000 rotor * to pick from is an insult to the In telligence of this community. It comprises - prises a very large pur cent of profes sional jurors , many of whom luivis served in juries nearly every term including .ho last. If there is nothing crooked in .hischoico then itshows a lamentable lack ) f propriety , judgment and intelligence. Unfortunately for the commissioners- heir action cannot bo classed as an inintentional overnight. Two months ago hey dared not disregard public opinion > y packing a jury with professionals and Mimmors. They know enough business neu and irreproachable citizens to fill ho hat from which to draw a jury that snjoycd the unbounded conlldeiico of the ) coplo. Why did tlioy not pursue the amo course now ? In the name of justice vo demand that the jury which they have Irawn bo dismissed and u now Jury Irawn which will not be open to su . licion.

Tlio resume o the reports from these stales shows tha the corn crop of IFS.j has been ovcrcsti mated both in qunntily and quality ; tha the quality i far below1that , of Ihe cro ) of 18SJ ; that the movement of corn * fai lia been disappointingly small , partieu hirly in Nebraska , Iowa , Missouri am Krnis.li. Cholera lias carried oll'larg ( number * of hogs , Ihe disease proving more prevalent and fatal than foi several jears. Nebraska has beel one of the heaviest .suu'orcr.s froii this di. ense. Not n single slate in tin corn belt has been free from hog cholera It Is claimed that as many hog * have been thrown onto the market for fear ol cholera as have died of the disease. The corn and hogsituatlon itiNcbraskti is thus .summed up by the Times : "Thl Mate has probably , taking the acreage into consideration , grown a belter croii of orn , so far as quantity and quality is concerned , than any .stale in the corn- belt. Dealers all over the slate , however , are of the opinion that the crop has fallen 10 per cent below ( he estimates made early in the season. A largo amount of ear corn has so far been cribbed nit. This stale hits not yet recovered from the cll'ects of the hog cholera during the spa- son of ISSl-'S. * ) . The disease at pre-ent seems to have spent iu force , and tie in crease in the hog product is looked for from Nebraska --luring lSSi. ( " The situation in Iowa is thus sum- mari/.ed ; "There is no uniformity with regard to the corn yield in the slate of Iowa. There will be little if any corn to go out of northern Iowa , as it will be about all required for homo consumption. In the southern portion of the state the crop is somewhat better. But , tukingthe state as si whole , there has not been more sound corn grown to the Mere than in the .season of 1 85. Very little corn has gone east , from Iowa thi.s wintci' . Hog iliseti.-i ! doe- , not .seem to lun o been as fatal a * in the .state of Illinois , nor widespread , but , owing to the loeal price of corn be ing .so high and the fear of hog cholera , hogs have been sent to market much more freely than Usual. " Street Cleaning. The city has contracted to keep the streets clean , and a special tax for street cleaning is levied to meet the expense. If it is right and legal to lax. properly own ers for cleaning and sweeping the streets in the summer , it in equally proper and legal to do so in the winter. As a mat ter of fact n snow blockade obstructs travel a great 'deal ' more than mud and dust. ID is inlinitely more dangerous. A tax for cleaning the business streets that arc blocked by snow drifts and hauling away the snow would bo more justiliable than the street sweep ing ta\ which has been imposed and col lected during the past iwo year. * . In dealing with the street-cleaning problem the sidewalks should I > R consid ered and treated ss ( plirt of the street. They arc such In filet and in law. A sidewalk belongs to th. ! public as much as the center of the-i .street. No matter what the penally , occupants of buildings and owners of lots never will keep the sidewalks clear of snow and ice. That lias been time and again demonstrated , not only in Omaha but in all other large cities and towns. . The owners of vacant lolswhether resi dents or non-residents , seldom if ever go to the trouble and expense to keep side walks clear. It is n question whether the public should exact this from them. They compel them to pay for pavements and require them to lay down sidewalks for the public convenience. Would it bo anything iinrei onablc to put the taxpaying - paying public to the ovpenso of keeping those streets and sidewalks clear of mud , snow and ice ? In any event the only way to make sure of payable and clean thoroughfares , winter and summer , is for the city lo do the whole job , either under supervision of the htreot eommis-jioner or by contract , MANunii-sOX's proportion to increase the olHcioney of tlio army by making tlio infantry regiments larger , and giving them three majors instead of one , ! > all right in theory , according to the St. Louis ( { lobc-Ji.iiiomil , but "could not the desired end bo more easily and economically reached , " pertinently asks that paper , "by reducing a fair share of the superfluous majors and other com missioned olHeer.s to the ranks , and thus establishing a proper proportion of mus ket-bearers lo sword-wielder.s , the want of which appears to bo the. chief dilli- cultyV" _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Siivr.voK-GiNiit.\i ; { : : < G\jn > xr.t ! , as will be se'in by an inton low which wo pub lish elsewhere , is not yet ready to resign.
