1ms been ti great deal of laxity in regard
to this , all sorts of building : ) being put tip

Several merchants and property own

Yesterday morning a linn man mot
John N. Baldwin , of { the law firm of
Wright. Baldwin & llaldano , who ever
Binco the first of the present month has
licon on the Pacinc slope. As during Mr.
Baldwin's absence reports have been cir
culated to the effect that he expected to
make California his future homo , and
also that the primary object of his visit
was to secure bonds for Dr. E. D. Cross ,
who Is still confined in Fort Madison

the "Council Binds Omnibus nnd Bag-
page Trnnster Line , " is greatly annoyed
at thu fact that another Hue has started
up , of which Lewis & Arnd tire the pro
prietors. Ho claims they are not playing
lair in adopting a name similar to that
used by him. and which has been in use
for years. The name under which the
now line runs Is so similar , he claims ,
that it injures his business. He therefore
wants an injunction , to restrain them
from using their present name for their
line , and force them to christen it some
thing entirely different from that which
ho uses.

The Chicago & Northwestern railroad

Sent Jlnck to State Courts.
An important decision 1ms boon ren
dered in the United Stales circuit court
li.V Judge llrcwcf , romnndintt bnck to the
fiinto court thosaloon cases started in this
city. The decision involves about forty
case ? , and the prohibitionists are rcjoic-
iittf in what limy deem a decision which
will soon ctiablo them to close the
saloons. Thusocascs were started before
Judge- Connor , and tltn defendants made
a motion to have them sent to the United
States courts. The question was Mib-
milted to the federal courts , but the cases
were- not transferred , they being still
kept on the docket of .ludgo Comior's
court. Now that the federal court re
mand ? the eases , tlioro seems not much
of 11 show for longer delay in securing
the injunctions , and Ihn prahlbilionists
will nppiy to .ludgo Connor for the in
junctions at once. 'J he saloon men are
naturally much exercised , ai.d know
hardly what to do. Some are disposed to
pay the city the regular license and com
ply with the requirement tor closing
saloons Sundays , etc. , in order to get
whal protection the city can give , if any.
Others do not see how the. city can give
any protection , and that their only hope
is in futtiro litigation , and that their
money should go for that , instead of for a
license which avails nothing. Daily con
ferences are being held to decide upon
future action. An appeal is to be taken
from the decision , ami .some hope is felt
that delay may bo thus gained.
A. Ovciton vsVllllam \ Lacy and 1'atrick
Lucy. This wnsnmocfcilinKcomtncnct'd in
tlieclicnlt court of tno Tlmtruntli judicial dis-
tiict of Io\\n , under section 15ii : of the code ,
In which It wasclinrKi'dthatdcfcndaiits weio
maintaining a nuisance by keeping a saloon.
and piayed that they be enjoined and
nuisance abated. A petition and bond for re
moval weie tiled and case transfcircd to this
court. A motion to icmmid is made. The
questions Involved aio whether inocccdinus
to enforce the mohlbitory law nio lemovahlc
into the ledeini rouits. Similar cases have
aiiscn In the state of Kansas , and In deciding
those I prcpaicd an opinion which llilo with
this as oxpipsslnc my views.
Tlicio is n Kciicinl snnlhulty between the
statutes of the two states , and while by icahon
of feme minor differences between them
( ivoiy uxpicsslon in that opinion many not be
strictly uccinato when applied to this case.
yet I sec no such dltfeicnco as calls for the
wiitiiiK of a separate and lull opinion.
Tlieic Is ono matter which palls for Mime
notice. Theie nio two defendants , one a
landlord and the other a tenant ; ono the
owner of the liuildlnir , the other the keeper ot
thu saloon. The petition nllccos that prior to
.1 nly , IbS-l , the sale ot ale , beer and vinous
llqnois was not moliibiled ; that piior to that
day deloiulaiit tenant leased the building for
a term of years extending beyond July 4 ,
.
i v.\t tnr jlc | nxrCiSg , , purpose ot orciipyjng tlie
same as a raloln ; ; that ny inn nui o uu „ . .
iioliibitcd from using the building for any
) thiT purpose , and that prior to tlmt ditto de-
lendnnt had , at an expense of 5:1,000 : , pro-
cnicd appioprlnte lixtmcs , furnltiuc. etc. , for
carrying on the business , and that said
ixtiiic.s , etc. , mo adapted cr.Iy for
said business ; that prior to said
date the defendant landlord , had
nt an expense of Sl.OCO prepared the building-
'or .said use. Upon tlu-su facts It is urged
hat thcro is a direct invasion and dc.strnc-
ion of propcity ilnhts , made sacicd by the
Fourteenth amendment against any state
attacks.
* * * *
The argument presented Is that nt a time
when the tialllc in ale , wine and beer was
, i'gal , defendants engaged in it , tlui ono lit-
; in up ills building and the other buying
lixtmcs , etc. , for it. that a contract of lease
was entoicd Into for the use of the building
Tor that purpose and none other , that the
landlord's security tor lent will bo dost toyed
if the business is stopped , nnd that the value
of the improvements , lixturcs , etc. , designed
and adapted for this use nnd none other , will
1)0 dcstioycd it bitch use is lestiniucd.
1 nm not Insensible to the dillicnltlcs pre
sented by the foiocolng facts , nor do 1 moan
toalllrni that lioni them does not .sprint : a
question which calls for examination by tlio
snpinnie coutt of tiio United Stales , and
which will challenge Its most soilous consid-
ci.ition , yet I think them arc sutilcient ica-
sons for holding that they present no case
lor removal.
Fhst Tlie enforcement of tlio penal laws
of a state , or those designed to promote the
uood otdcr nnd morals oil .society , should hp
left to the courts of the state , non coiihtat.
but that if rights of property in any partlcn'
lar case are Invaded , tlieso courts will pio"
tect , and no occasion ever bo pipi-eiitcd for
challenging tlio attention ol the federal
courts.
Second Removal should not be allowed tin-
Jess tlio jtuisdletlon of the ledeial courts is
clear.
Ihlul Even though a federal question bo
Involved no removal can bo had unless the
amount in contioversy bo S500. The amount
does not limit review by the supreme com t oE
the United States on writ of error to tlio
state court , but does limit tlio right of 10-
moval bftlnio dial , nndtheioforothcie should
bo no reasonable doubt as to the amount In
contioversy. It is not distinctly avoired
that the lease hetoro July 4 , 1SS1 , Is still In
force. It may have expired bufoio this pro
ceeding wascoinmeneed. Ifso.no contract
obligations , no piopcrty rights are distnibcd.
The costs ot improvements , fixtures , etc. , Is
alleged , but not the pie.ient value. They
may to-day bo so injuied or detcrrioatcd In
value as to bo worth much less than S.VX ) .
Com ts also talco judicial notice of matters ol
common knowlcdtu * . and no allegations con-
tiadicting such matters nio to bo regaidcd.
Many of the fixtures of a saloon , ns chairs ,

Senator Carson of lids county has sue-
reeded in getting Ids bill passed in thu
senate punishing drnnkonness. While
others have been framing leglblatlon to
punish the sellers , ho has boon nt work
devising some way of stopping the buyers.
His bill provides for thu first oflenso of
intoxication a line of $10 , or throe days'
work on thoetrccts ; for the second oHunso
a line of25 , or work on the btrcots for
six days ; for the third oflbiuo a fine of
550 , or twelvn daye1 work on the streets.
Sonntor Carson made a longthysr.eech . In
favor of the measure , portions of which
were ns follows :
Wldln my associates have been talking I
have becu tlilnklu ? . and Imvo icnchid the
conclusion that It thcio weio no buyers there
\\ruld be. no sellers ; that If there were no
itiunlctrds thcro would be no legislation on
thu subject. . And I have endeavored to tincl

strain his appetite nud lived a sober life , nud
give notice that the load to iaspect leads
only In the path of sobtlety , and If ho dares
to depart tiom It , the heavy hand of an Indig
nant nud outraged people will be laid upon
him. If the young men vert1
made to know that to "paint

the society \\heie they had been accustomed
to attend , tint tlmyottng ladles ot their ac

Mr. I'lcMdcnt , 1 don't believe in so much
guardianship lor men of mature ago If they
moot sound mind. Hold them ic.spousiblu

them to use some ono else as a shield for

"Lot every man statnl erect ,

Self icllance and self denial Is what Is de
manded. Mr. I'tcslilent , 1 hnvo olten 10-
llcelod upon nil Ideal people , with nil those
nttiUnites so completely blended. And how
giaud It would be If it could lie said of every
man as MntK Anthony , in the last staiua of
his speech at Oa-sar's innrial. Slmkcspcnio
hashlm s'iy : "Ills life was gentle ; the ele
ments weio so mixed In him that natuio
might stand upntid say to all the woild , this
was a man. " My friends icmimlcd me of the
staiiclanl bearer in Cwsm's army , who was
going with Ids banner away fiom the enemy.
Civsnr hailed hiuj nuii said , pointing :
' "Hit ! enemy is yonder , " nlld Ills' sol
dier Incrd about and pushed into the thick
est of the battle. So can wo say of the
battle that has bouu rasing in Iowa for so
many yeais the leal and most daugeiotis
enemy has been psimltted to hold his lines
and look on and laugh to sec the battle
waged against another than Ihc real toe.
And now let us "about face" nud attack the
icnl enemy. When CJo'igh signed the pledge
he was laughed nfnnd jeered. When he had
signed the piomisi to abstain , he turned to
ward those who taunted him and said : ' -Why
do yon laugh at me ? Am 1 not a man' . " ' My
lilcud tiom Pace eloquently told us , the
other dtiy that "fifty thousand am going
down every year into the dnik pit ot de
spair. " Now , why not close tip the pit and
compel this army to halt. Oougli used to
vividly dcsciibo the man who was In a boat
niovo the Kalis ot N'agara quietly iloaling
down tow aid the gieat cataract , a man far
above the falls shouted fiom the bank. "Stop I
don't go theic"but ho gave no heed. Still

fust man who hailed him had taken a boat

feclingof hatred that this measure Is pro
posed , but to compel men to icllcct and
maintain their manhood.

A Wife Murderer.
Ill yesterday's Dnn dispatches appeared
the following :
INM > IAXA1'OL1R , Maicti 23. At Hngcis-
town , Wayne county , this afternoon , W. S.
Bates and wife quanvJlcd , and the woman
struck Dates with an axe. handle. Ho
wicstod the weapon from her. struck hr > r a
blow with it , and then made a slash at her
with a pocket knife , nearly beheading her.
The woman fell to the iloor dead. Bates was
arrested.
The Bates named in the telegram is an
old Council Bltill'H boy. commonly known
here as Still Bates. The fact of his being
the same was confirmed yesterday by a
private teleirram to his brothers here ,
stating that he had killed his wife , but
giving no further particulars. The news
was a sad shock to his relatives hero , who
fei'l keenly the disgrace enor
mity of the crime. Bates' father
was an old resident of this city , and quite
prominent , haying at ono time been
mayor of the city. This son has been
reckless uiul much given to drink. When
sober ho was an excellent worker , ami of
kindly disposition , but when drunk he
was far to the other extreme , whisky
making him to bo feared by all who came
in contact with him. Ho was repeatedly
nrrcsted hero for being drunk a id for
lighling , and as frequently promised to
reform. Mrs. Bates was born in Illinois ,
nnd her folks afterwards moved to In
diana , where the tragedy occrured. Last
fall Bates seemed determined to lead a
dillerent sort of u life , if ho could only
get away from old associates. In this
nope his friends hero helped him lo get
back to Indiana witli his family , but it
seems that the change led to no great re
'
form. The news of the terrible'tragedy
came ns a great shock to the friends here ,
although it was not wholly inconsistent
with some ot his wild lits of temper as
shown hero when drunk. This leads to
the supposition that ho must have been
drtmk when ho thus killed his wife. They
itad two bcautifuljittlo girls , ono about 4
years of ago. thu otlior7. Mrs. Bates had
relatives in Hager town , and her brother
is the city murnhal of that place.
