Quiet Streets.
Yesterday was the quietest Sunday
that the BlulTs has seen for some time.
Very few people appeared on the streets ,
and the motor travel was much lighter
than on any previous Sunday. The day
was quite chilly and much more com
fortable indoors , still it was a remark
able day for this time of the year. The
police patrolled their beats vainly look
ing for a victim , as not ono could bo
found. The strict enforcement of the
mayor's Sunday closing order is having
the desired effect , and drunkenness and
lioodlumisni do not disturb the quiet
ness of the day. Citizens on their way
to church are not compelled to stop into
the strent to avoid crowds of drunken
toughs gathered about the doors of open
Eiiloons. The gambling houses are also
closed , and the rattle of chips no longer
heard as an echo to the tones of tlio
church bolls. The Sabbath has become
Iroro what it was intended to bo a day
of rest , and the change Is appreciated
by all classes.

An Appeal to ( lie OITIcinlq.
A very interesting and profitable
service was held at H roadway church
yesterday morning. The sermon and
after work was along the line of loin-
percnco reform and the enforcement of
law in Council HlutVs. This being the
subject for consideration the pastor ,
Ilov. D. C. Franklin , announced no text ,
but spoke substantially as follows :
" 1 think the history of the Christian
church in the past demonstrated the
fact that God is willing to assist all
human efforts to advance Ilis kingdom.
The wickedest man consents to the un
objectionable features of this code of
morals. Ho thinks it is a line thing for
his neighbor , but as forhimsolf , ho does
not need it. This war between good
and evil is not ntrainst the moral pre
cept , but a reluctance to being gov
erned by it. liven liquor dealers , in
conventions , pass temperance resolu
tions. The most llagrant violators of
law admit that the bo t results are se
cured by being a man , honest 'and up
right. Yon never saw a man who did
not claim to possess the power to break
from the drink habit at any time. Asa
universal proposition it is true that no
man expects to go to perdition.
" \Voarohore this morning to talk ,
and act as well , with refer
ence to ono of the greatest curses
of man and bocioty the protection
of home ; the peopling of heaven and
Hio coming of the millennium. Time
was in the history of temperance reformation
mation when men gloried in the fact
that they had been very far down
in the scale of moral righteoimess and
had been redeemed either by the power
of a strong moral force or by tlio power
of God , and for it would claim much at
the Irmds of the public respect and es
teem. I have a beautiful garland for
the man who is thus redeemed from a
living death to the life of usefulness ,
but 1 have a crown of unfading light
for the man who never was down , and
who has never needed the power of such
a redemption.
"Tho most powerful agency in the
world looking to the salvation of men
from sin and death is the gospel of
Jesus Christ : taught by its truths in
the home , the children develop a
strong , symmetrical character , and
when , at the age of twenty-one , they go
out into the world , the bulwarks of his
manhood arc unassailable , and lie
stands in conscious mightiness , a power
for God and humanity. ' '
The speaker then developed briclly
the duty of the man , in his various re
lations , showing the.se to bo far broader
in Ins social and business than in his
homo life. "No man lives for
hsmself , " said ho , ' 'and it is his
duty to protect , by all possible
means , the interests of his own home.
It is equally his duty to protect his
neighbor's homo. " Said ho : "You
may wear out the knous of your pants at
prayer , and if yon do nothing clso very
little will bo accomplished. " The idea
of active work along the line was fully
developed. lie said : " 1 am told that
the people who want the law enforced
in this city are in the minority ; that
the majority are against this enforce
ment. I do not know how that is , but
allowing it fo bo true , the minority , be
ing down , have the right to kick , and
wo propose to exorcise that right and
leave the results with God. "
lie then pleaded earnestly for all men
and women who have the interests ol
home , children and country at heart to
unite in a demand that the law bo en
forced.
The speaker then rend the following
petition : "Petition of the Methodist
Episcopal church of Council Bluffs , la.
To the honorable mayor and members
of the city council of Council Bluffs , la. :
Council BlnlYs has attained the reputa
tion of being the most lawless city in
Iowa. The laws against gambling ,
bawdy houses and selling intoxicating
liquors are notoriously , openly and lln-
grantly violated. The moral , social and
business interests of our city have been
endangered in consequence and our city
disgraced. The responsibility of thi's
condition of tilings rests largely with
those in authority. You can , if you
will , drive out the saloon , the bawdy
and gambling house. In the name of
all our citi/ens who love law and order ,
and who desire to see all law enforced
and respected , wo most earnestly ask
that you use all power conferred upon
yon for the suppression of these evils. "
The following gentlemen were desig
nated as a committee to present the peti
tion to the city council at the session
which shall bo hold following the moot
ing of this evening : L. W. Tulloys ,
Uev. 1) . C. Franklin , Ilonry Cokor , E.
S. Barnett'and Henry Do Long.
The petition was circulated , and both
men and women invited to sign it. That
Lhe response was a hearty one is shown
from the fact that when the papers were
returned to the pulpit U74 names were
attached.
It is probable that the same action
taken hero will also bo taken by the
Baptibt , Presbyterian and Congrega
tional churches next Sunday. Petitions
will also bo circulated among the busi
ness and working men of the city that
a full expression of the wishes of the
citizenship of the city may bo secured
and laid before the city council.
A Mule Too SM-OIIJC.
The enthusiastic move for a much
needed reform in the city morals Is
neoting with much favor. It is con
ceded that there is too much laxity.
Many of the laws are almost a dead
otter. The attempt to secure their on-
'orcomonl IB commendable , but the po-
tltion as circulated in ono of the
ehurches yesterday IB a little strong. It
starts out with the bold assertion that
'Council Bluffs has attained tlio ropu-
.ation of being the most lawless city in
Iowa. " If this bo trim it seems that
citizens should all loin hands In earn
est work to redeem the reputation with
out calling any further attention to the
nmontnblo fact , or giving it further
mblicity. It is a tad confession for 276
cilizona to make , as they did in .signing
the petition yesterday. Most of thorn
doubtless never gave it a thoughl.
The statement , though , is not ono
vhich will bo conceded as true. Coun
cil Bluffs can bo Improved in many
vnys. It needs numerous reforms , but
t is far from being the most lawless
city in Iowa. The records do not show
hat Council Bluffs is so much worse
ban other cilios as to deserve such 'a
oputatlon , and much loss to have its
citizens concede that It hus such a bad
lame. The petition was doubtlessly
1 rawn in haste- and signed as hastily.
Joforo it la further circulated it had
> otter bo modified to conform moro
nearly with finch facts as all favoring
reform will agree to.
Improving Mnna\vn.
What's the matter with the Mauawji
improvement committee ? It was stated
tome time ago that ns soon as the Ice
was sufficiently strong to be unstable ,
the committee would begin work , and
the necessary work to put the lake in n
decent condition would bo pushed
through with a rush. There is now 11
thick coaling of ice on the hike , but the
work has not been begun. The water
Is at a very low stage , and any improve
ments could bo made now with less ex
pense than nt any other llmo.
If any work is to bo done it should be
done nt once , ns the lake is lilllng U ]
fast with deposits from Mosquito creek ,
nnd another year will see it converted
into a .swamp tin loss some move is made
to pro von I it. Nearly all of the parties
Interested at the lake proless a willing
ness to assist , in improving it , but for
some unaccountable reason nothing is
done. If thev wait for the public to stei |
in and do this work , time will han
heavy on their heads before it is done ,
State OvorooalH.
The Dodge Light Guards arc a little
better off than they expected. They
had supposed thai Ihoy would have It
purchase their own overcoats for the
Irip to Washington , but Colonel Davis ,
of the First Iowa , has succeeded in get
ting enough companies in the state tc
form a full regiment to go to the inau
guration , and the adjutant general has
promised the coats. At lensb-ten , and
probably twelve , companies'will go. and
the expenses will bo about &IO per man.
Each company will furnish thirty or
more men , and will rende/.vous at Chicago

special train for the capital.

A Forgotten Volume.
A few days ago a musty volume was
unearthed in this city , and in it have
been found several pages of highly in
teresting matter , oven to the progress
ive people of this growing city. A
careful perusal of its mildewed pages
tends to convince ono that in many
ways now customs are less desirable
than old ones , and thai a careful fol
lowing of its precepts would result in
much additional comfort and peace of
mind to the citizens of to-day.
The title of this ancient work is "Tho
Compiled Ordinances of the City of
Council Bluffs , " and its authors were
men who in their day stood well with
their fellowmen citi
as kccn.far-bceing
zens. The work was published in the
interest of the people , and laid down
numerous rules and laws , the strict , ob
servance of which was deemed neces
sary for the successful and satisfactory
growth of an inland city. It was
thought nt the time of it's issuance ,
to completely fill the bill in this line ,
and its teachings wore closely followed
for awhile , until it was thought Hint the
city had outgrown it , and it was laid
away as a thing of the past. Nothing
was offered in its place , but certain
wise men deemed themselves capable
of devising schemes to suit any emer
gency that might arise , and 'tho old
book was consigned to the tomb. Accord1
ing to this columo , it was formerly the
duty of certain city officials to see' that
snow was removed from the sidewalks ,
that barrels and old boxes were not
allowed to accumulate in uublic places ,
that awnings must bo so placed as to be
out of the way of ladies' hats and
feathers , and several other things of a
similar nature. It is in this respect
that the progress of civilization in this
city is questionable. Electric cars , in
candescent lights , telephones , and other
good things have been added , but the
citizens are compelled to endure several
inconveniences in order to avail lliem-
selvcs of them.
A few public spirited citizens have
expressed a determination to present a
petition to the city council for a substi-
lulion of spmo of the relics of llio "good
old days" in place of. some of the new
fangled ideas. If the move is success
ful the views of the authors of the above
named work will bo prooagated , and
the crazp for the antique intonsillcd.
In the interest of public comfort il is
hoped that it will be succcssfyl.

Addition * to the Churches.
Several of llio churches of Council
Bluffs held services yesterday especially
for the purpose of admitting to church
membership persons who made a profes
sion of faith during the series of meet
ings recently conducled by Messrs ,
Smccd and Smith.
Al llio Presbylerian church the num
ber admitted was Ihirty-throc. The or
dinance of baptism was administered to
fully two-thirds of the number. Dr.
Phclps , the pastor , preached an excel
lent sermon upon the subject of "Son-
ship , " "Now are Wo the Sons of God ,
and if Sons then Heirs , " etc. The
services were very impressive , which
was nided much by the beautiful sing
ing of Miss Mattie Palmer and Mrs.
Ward.
Baptism and admission of members
was the feature of the evening service
at the First Baptlsl church. Kighl now
convorls were baptlseil and added to the
roll of membership. Thcbo put the
total number of recent additions lo this
church up lo twonly-Bovon , most of
which have been recoived-upon profes
sion of failh. Thcso rcsulls nro very
gratifying and promise much for the
future usefulness of ttio church.
At the Congregational church the
morning services were of a like intor-
osling character. The pastor , Rev , G.
W. Crofts , sjioko briefly upon Paul's
words to Timothy : "I know whom I
have believed , anil am persuaded that
ho is able to keep that which I have
committed unto him against that day. "
Ho spoke of the power of Christ to keep
the soul from sin , and urged nil , but
especially those young convorls lo put
their trust fully in Him. At the close
of his remarks Iho ordinance of bap
tism was administered to about twelve
candidates. Then aboul Uvonly-Hvo
were admitted to membership , mosl of
them on the profession of faith , and a
few by letters from other churches.
The sacrament of the Lord's supper fol
lowed.
Last evening at the close of the ser
mon a prniso mooting was held.
The special mooting , begun at Broad
way Methodist church last week , will
bo continued every evening during this
| ) rot > ont week. Already there huv
been several conversions , and the
present interest indicates that an
old-fashioned revival is begun at this
church ,

IS HE MERELY A FIGUREHEAD ?
Thin Critic Wnn'a to Know Why He
Jjon't Imosllmilc Violation * ol'
the Intpi-statc Lnw Uy llio
Somn Inside KnotR ,
A writer , over the signature "Tralllc
Manager , " takes Issue with Charles
Francis Adams upon the lattor's views
on railroad management. In a recent
issue of the Inter-Ocean appears the
following :
I would earlier have criticised Mr.
Adams' remarks , but from the fact that
1 am ono of those railway olllcers whom
ho endeavors to malign , therefore not
entire master of 'uy own time and
movements.
1 have been In railway service for the
past twenty-eight years and claim to
know something of the practical
workings of the same , and my exper
ience lias told me that ono of th ( ;
greatest dangers to which a railway
olllcer is subject is that of the advice of
theorists , especially when they are
lluont of speech and plausible , and at
the saiiie time their superior olllcer.
Very frequently these mere theorists'
only excuse for being in the position ,
say ot president of a great railway
system , is that they havu received a
college education ; that they are the
sons of their fathers , or , perhaps , that
they belong to an honorable , highly
respected , and historical faiulh , ajit'l
by self-adoration consider themselves
the creine do la eromo of morality nnd
specially made lo control such a simple
thing as 0,003 or 0,000 miles of rail
way.
1 notice Mr. Adams says : "Since the
inter-state commerce act wont into ef
fect twoyears ago there has been what
might bo called a craze for railroad
' ' '
construction.
I bog to ( jiie.stion this very much , as 1
do not think statistics will bear the
statement out , ns the construction of
new roads for two years prior to the in
terstate commerce law coming into ef
fect was certainly far greater than that
since.
Further on he says : "Then followed
a depth of railroad morals among freight
agents lower than bad previously ex
isted , and this is saying much.1 Tin
clause alone is the principal reason of in.
communication. Why a president of i
railroad should blamea"freight agent
or blame even a general olllcer is i
thing I think every individual citizei
of this country , as well as members o
the legislature , should question. Docs
any ono for a moment think a "froigh
agent" would dare to cut a rate or maki
ruinous contracts , or in any way try tc
evade the interstate commercela \
without the sanction of his president o
superior ollicor1 Docs any ono believe
that the dishonest nicthods of rate-cut
ting , the secret systems of rebates , the
indirect and hidden * payments made It
inllucnce the course of the tralllc re
sorted to ( as alleged by Presiden
Adams ) by tlio sub-ollieials of the rail
way company are without the sandier
of the higher otllcorsV From my ex
perience I say most emphati
cally such a thing never hap
pened , but if it has happened 01 :
the road of which Air. Charles Francis
Adams is president , all I can say is that
1 would liicon him to a driver of a pub-
lie stage coach with spirited horses
over which he had no control whatever.
A coach driven by such a driver cat
only end in absolute wreck , and the
sooner such a driver is supplanted bj
one who can control his horses tlio bet
ter , not only for himself and public , but
the vehicle.
Further on ho says : "The question
may be asked of mo ; Why do you not
give information and institute proceed
ings under the law ? I merely say in
reply that , apart from a prodjudice
against being an in former , while I am
morally sure that these things are
being done , I can not furnish legal
proof of them. "
This coming from a gentleman of such
high standing as Mr. Charles Francis
Adams appears to mo to bo very dan
gerous sentiment. There is no doubt
whatever but that the evil practices
that ho condemns so much have been as
much indulged in by the Union Pacific
as any other railway , and therefore if
ho desired the proof ho could got it. It
seems to mo that ho admits it is a crim
inal offense , but as ho does not desire to
pose as an informer ho compounds the
felony.
I may nardon him for the remark
'
whore'ho says : "The indirect and hid
den payments made to inllucnce the
course of trallic resorted to or devised
during the last two years I do not hes
itate to say are unprecedented in the
whole bad record of the past , " as ho ev
idently is not thoroughly acquainted
with the practical and detailed working
of either the frcignt or passenger de
partments , or ho would certainly see a
vast 'improvanicnt than under the old
pools from 1880 to the end of March ,
1SS7. During that period there was a
continued cutting in rates , by private
rebates , by underbidding , by misrepre
sentation of goods , and in every other
conceivable way. I have known for in-
btanco where the published rate engrain
grain from Chicago to Now York was
Jil cents , but the private rate was 10
cents per 1000 pounds.
Does anyone believe that the enor
mous rebate wont through the books of
a railway company without the knowl
edge of the general manager or presi
dent ? If sueli atljing could take place
.surely such olllcci's are worse than moro
figureheads. < *
From the ronnfrks just quoted ono
would think it was intended to imply
the interstatecommerce law was re
sponsible for the demoralization which
Mr , Adams claims has existed for the
last two years. The interstate com
merce law is not tlio- cause of anything
of the kind.f \ \ in the presidents of
the railway companies who nro respon
sible , mid if they would pay attention to
their duties instead of devoting their
time to Wall street and other such
places , and they desire to conduct their
railway systems honestly and to main
tain good faith with their competitors ,
they would not have any occasion to
complain of their subordinates , and I
do not think there are many presidents
in this country who would think of
making a scapegoat of tholr freight
agent when they ought to assume the
responsibility themselves.
Surely , if a freight agent or a passenger -
gor agent cuts a rate in the manner
that President Adams takes so much
trouble to describe and blame them for ,
it would bo a very easy matter for a
president ( to use a railway phrase ) to
cut oil their heads. In my subordinate
capacity I am very sure that if ono of
my sub-agents were to cut a rate or do
anything of the kind without my
knowledge and without my Instruc
tions , and it was proven that the act
was intentional , it would not bo many
hours before ho received his month's
pay and got out.
I , therefore , claim that it is the pres
idents of railways alone who are ro-
Etpousiblo for the demoralization ; they
are responsible for llio bad faith bo-
twopn the whole of the ollloialsof the
various railway systems , and it is they
alone who can restore harmony , obey
llio interstate commerce law , and re
store the railway properties of this
country to a healthy condition.
For the lli-sl nine or ten months after
the law took etl'eet the majority of the
railway compani.-s made up their minds
that they would obey it. Statistics will
prove that during that time the railway
companies through a very largo terri
tory were moro prosperous than they
him been for years. Is It possible that
they wore too nrosperous to suit some of
the presidents/ is it for that reason
that they allow . their "freight agents"
and passenger agents to disregard the
law , cut llio rates and Uioroby reduce
the revenues to such nil extent that
many of our llnest systems arc now on
the very verge of bankruptcy ?
1 notice his remarks witli regard to
the crystali/.ation of the great railway
systems of this continent. I do not
agree with him at all that this Is in any
way brought about by the inter-stato
commerce law ; neither do 1 agree with
him that it wonld be moro advanta
geous for ono management to control
-0,000 miles of road as against several
roads of : ! ( > ( ) miles each , unless wo could
at the same time bo assured of honest
management.
Take to-day , for int-tnuco , with the
same system of mana < 'emenl. and if the
same ollicers , all of whom Mr. Adams
accuses of bad faith , were to control
L'0,000 miles of road instead of the ; iOO
they have been controlling , it would tin-
pear to mo there would be very nearly
seventy limns as much bad faith and
bad inlluences in the power of the elli
cers of the large r institution , and con
sequently would be seventy times as
dangerous.
1 do not wish to bo nndestood by this
letter that I am adverse to pooling , or
that 1 am opposed to the clearing house ,
but 1 do say , without any fear of contra
diction , that you can make your pools ,
