DES MOISIS : , Iowa , March 0. [ Special
Telegram. ] There Is a probability that there
will bo as great a contest for the Iowa sol
diers' homo as there was for the Illinois
homo a year ago. Every day brings some
new city claiming the honor. About fifteen
towns are active candidates for thu location
of the home , and largo lobbies are hero work-
for their icspecllvo localities. Since Colfax
"ticafeil thu Icgislaiuro lo a free ride and a
dinner to Inspect Ite advantages , the'cxcur-
slon Idea Is becoming popular. It is said that
Marslmlltown stands ready lo run a special
train for the legislative visitors as soon as
there Is an opportunity for them to go.
While HurllmUon IH about 200 miles away , It
Is understood a two days' trip by special
train will be tendered so that Its location
can bo Inspected. Among the delegations
working tor the home are two ox-governors ,
and one cx-llcutenant governor-Carpenter for
Fort Dodge , Gear for Burlington , and Hulls
for Uccorah. McGregor entered the Held to
day , and Is chiming the honor of the homo
for northeastern Iowa. The contest , It Is
thought , lies between Marslmlltown and Col
fax , with the former in tlio lead , having the
best organized workers. Colfax claims su
perior advantage In Its mineral springs , and
proposes to have the state buv the Hotel Col-
lax property with about 130 acres of lofty
situation , and the park and springs. The
contest Is becoming so warm that it Is seri
ously affecting general legislation , and all are
anxious to have It .settled as soon as possible.
The senate passed on ltd third reading the
Miles telcgiaph bill , providing for the
prompt transmission and delivery of lelo-
grnph dispatches.
There was a lengthy debate on the bill lo
cating the supreme court at Ies Moiues and
providing for four terms there annually.
The principal arguments for the bill were
made by Senator lloblnson , while speeches
against It wore made by Senators Knight.
Button , Doouan , Schmidt and Carbon ,
but tlio bill was oulereil engrossed
by a vote of 21 to 17.
I Senator Scott Introduced a bill to establish
a soldiers' homo nt Davenport and use the
orphans' homo building for that purpose.
The senate committee's substitute for the
mpulsory school bill was also ordered on-
4 grossed , after a spirited debate. The bill
provides that every child between the ages of
I 8 and 15 shall bo required to attend school at
least twelve weeks , eight of which shall be
consecutive , each year.
The house devoted the day to the consider
ation ot two bills , the Heynolils or Cossatt
bill for regulating the weighing of coal , and
the Hutchison bill for a 2) $ mill tax to pro
vide for a soldiers' homo and other state pur
poses. Weaver moved to amend the Cossatt
bill by striking out all alter the enacting
clause and substituting the Gatch screen bill.
After debate the amendment was lost. The
bill was favored by lloynolds , llobb , Coleman -
man and others , and opposed by Weaver ,
lledhead , and Lyons of Mnhaako , The lat
ter said ho represented 15,000 miners , and ho
, dldnotbcllovolO.ppr cent of them favored
i the bill. They'had the largest mlnlnc county
in the state , but hnd not had a strike
In five or six years. The bill was ordered cn-
I grossed by a vote of G3 to 21. A ficht was
, made on the tax levy bill to have Its pro
visions divided o that the amount asked for
the soldiers' homo could bo voted upon
separately , many opposing any Increase In
taxation to pay outstanding wanants. The
bill was ordered cncrossed.
The Joint Icglslattvo.'Boomnilttco on the
soldiers' homo gave a hearing to-night to the
representatives of'beventeen towns that ask
for the home. Oial arguments were pre
sented In favor of each locality , and the
committee adjourned until to-moirow , when
the places to bo" visited will bongiced upon.

llticroitc-Gracc pM. ) Itcpuliltcan.
There are two classes of temperance
people in this country. Ono class de
mands full and absolute ) prohibitory
legislation , the other class demands that
tho- use and sale of- intoxicants bo
regulated by license laws. The best
men differ on this question. Which are
the better temperance men ? The pro
hibitionists assumeto possess all the
virtue , philanthropy and humanity , and ,
as a corollary , nro the only proper
guardians and protectors of public
morals ; but the facts fail to support such
arrogant assumptions. Wo find among
higli-llcensu advocates ' men of high
moral integrity , and quito as virtuous ,
honest anil Immune and bettor practica
ble temperance men.
Thu vital question is : Does prohibition
prohibit ? Truth utters an emphatic not
The next important question is : Is high
license , that regulates the use and sale of
intoxicants aim curtails the evils of intemperance -
temperance , preferable to the free , pro
miscuous use and sale with no license , as
is now the case right here at homo and
in distant localities , under prohibitory
laws. All experience leaches that as long
as mankind remain under their present
conditions and are governed by the laws
of their being they will indulge their pas-
sions.und appetites in stimulants. There
fore , as intemperance it > ono of the chief
evils that ullllct the race , and also , out
side of its personal victims , the most
costly to the state , and as it is ovidout it
cannot bo banished , let us dual with it
not in a visionary , ideal , sentimental
manner , but practically by regulating
the sale of liquor within proper hounds
and restraints , and make it oontrlbnln its
full share to tlio public- revenue and bear ,
in part at least , it * own oxpenso. High
license is coitalnly butter than no llcoiibo

public sentiment

CHICAGO OH AIX MARKET.
CHICAGO , March P. [ Special Telegram. ]
WHK.VT There was a steady mul Him open-
Ins to everything In tlio list of speculative
articles this morning. Stalling sales ot Mny
wheat wore ntS5c , or J c bolter tlian Monday's
closing. Tim visible supply statement tallied
so closely with previous estimates on the
probable decrease that It had no perceptible
effect on values. Colder weather In ( ho west
broughtnbatch of country buying orders ,
however , and as the Now York market was
stronger and public cables again favoiablo
for headers , the feeling was ono of Increased
flrmnoss In early dealings. Liverpool spot
wheat was quoted In moderate demand , car
goes off cost and on passaeo linn , and En-
gllsh country markets generally dearer. But
the strength developed hero during tno ( Irst
hour of business did not prove per
manent , and as the forenoon were
away the market showed , an Inclina
tion to drag , coupled with not
a little weakness. From 8ge for May ,
which was the top , there was a decline by
noon to Sljfo when there was a feeble rally.
The deal was largely of a light local scalping
character all through. Jlutchlnson was
quite a heavy seller when the market was
strongest , and he subsequently bought wheat
bncknt a little profit. Swartz & Duuco and
Lester were also free sellers early , while Orr ,
Crlltendcn & Conies sold , It was said , consid
erable Juno wheat. Little It any export busi
ness was worked at the eastern seaboard.
Ono report said : ' 'Two boatloads taken ; "
another , "No demand , and no prospect of
any ; " so the bulls had nothing to help
them Out In that direction. But there
came over the wires scattering reports of
damage to winter wheat in some parts of
Ohio and Missouri and the labor troubles In
the southwest They have had some effect.
During the last half hour of the regular ses
sion the market firmed up to 6. > @S5J c on the
split for Mny , and when { ho boll tapped 85 Vc
was bid. The local market for cash wheat
was Inactive and sales smaller than noted
yesterday , both in store and by sample.
Cons Corn ruled dull but generally firm ,
limited trade In a speculative way being on
a basis of 40).f@403 ) c for seller May. Most
of the arrivals of No. 3 yellow for the past
few days have been sold to go to store.
OATS Oats were dull and unchanged at
around 32 ? @ 3 c for May.
PIIOVISIONS In the pork pit an unusually
quiet state of affairs was witnessed and
prices wore Indifferently well sustained.
May pork sold off from S10.85 at the opening
to S10.25 , and at 1 o'clock S10.30 was bid , be
ing a decline of Bo per baircl.
Ai'TKHNooji Bo.usn This afternoon the
markets were dull and generally weak
under free offerings. Wheat and corn
futures receded } { c. Corn was % c off and
lard easier. Pork was unchanged.
