Win I Simply for the rca 0'i that theio is

Hnloons of Hie plnco being as "wide open" as
in ani city in the co-mtii A change is Im
minent , how cvei , but more of that fuither

to say nothing of hci colossal oatmeal mill
nnd the Sinclair picki'ig houses , which are

While the business of the city is m tolcru

Since then the saloon business has l.ad an
uniiitcriipted boom , wiiethcr on nctount of

thcio are just thirty one places , bv actual
count , wlieio the tiaflle in iiitoxicatins bev
erages is piosccutcd in iiiiln idled
freedom , and the same state of
things pi unils thoimhout the coun
if the icpoit of the giand jury which is now
in session at Mat ion , the county seat , and
but llvo nines fiom Cedar Rapids , is to bo
taiicn us a cnteiioii. I ha\e Just left thn of-
tlco of the supciintcndent of the police , Mr.
Prances , and ho infoims mo that cx.ictl }
100 It no bills will bo ictuuted atjiinstputios
in the countj for violating the liuuor law.
So , ns tun } be ilghtl } surmised , a bomb will
buist in this Immediate vicinity befoio long
that will shake Linn county from center to
circumference. Those indictments , the
chief tells me , weio made posbible by a
change in tno complexion of the piescnt
grand jury. Heietoforo it has been com
posed in the main , of Cicninns and Uohcmi-
ans , who steadfastly icf used to ictuin any
indictments for alleged offenses of this chat-
actor.
A substantial citircn said to mo this morn
ing : ' 'I hardly think prohioition has had
much to do with the present dull times
in Cedar Rapids , but 1 must confess that I
am at n loss for ctuscs to attiiouto them to ,
unless it bo the failure of our crops for the
tlueo seasons picceding the last , when the
atnto enjoyed phenomenal crops. Yet I know
this to bo a fact , that while piolnbition was
carried in this town by neaily thiee hundieil
majority , that if the question could bo again
fiubuilttcil to day It would bo overwhelmingly
defeated. A stiong cut rent has set in against
the law within two jcars , and complaints
against its dclcteuous effects on trade aio
long , loud and bitter. Still there aio many
who aio convinced that the law has accom
plished inestimable good.
' 'NOjthoro isn't an } activity in real estate ;
it is much lower than it has ever been since
Cedar Rapids assumed the pretentious of a
city. "
At the police couit I made n copyof the ar-
icsts for intoxication for the yeaie ' 63 , ' 65 ,
' ' 87 and ' 83 ' 81 .
80 , , being missing. They ran
icspcctlvely , 854 , 291 , 300 , 21 nnd
102. The paucity for 'SS , however -
over , may bo accounted for by the fact that
arrests are not made hero now for drunken
ness unless the drunken man is quaricl-
Bomc , boistciousmid distuiblng the peace , or
unless some one lllcs inhumation against the
offender ,
The report of the grand juiy will open up
afresh the old prohibition sttifo , nnd thcro is
110 telling what thu icsults will bo.
In conclusion it is but meet to say that
Oedar Rapids Is the liveliest city I have } ct
visited in the state , and with any sort of a
show will make ono of the best towns In the
west ,

IOOK acauiigo and went to the icsldencoof
Representative Samuel ,1 Randall , the well
known protective tariff dcmociat of Penn-
svlvaiila. It will be icmcmbcred that about
the tune ot the election , Govcuioi Hill was
cieditcd with the statement ( which ho never
denied ) that if the democratic ticket had
been beaded by Rat.dall and German , or if
the platform had been picparcd by those
gentlemen , Instead of b } William R Scott ,
the pirt } would have succeeded. Mr. Ran
dall has never been an admirer of the pres
ent ocoupmt of the whlto hou e , and Gov
cinor ildl never so aclmiicd Mr. Randall ns
now. When Govcinor Hill had completed
his conference with Mr. Randall it was time
for him to go the dinner given in his honor

and around the capitol to da } thcio was
much said about it. In fact this cntue chain

AN.OTH1 It OMNI1ILS HIM ,
Desperate cflorts are to bo made by a
Iprgo majoiitv of the democrats in the house
'to defeat the Ihml adoption of the omnibus
toriitonal statehood bill. At a meeting of
the house committee on territories to day
another omnibus bill , providing for the ad
mission to the union as states , the teiritories
of AiiT'ona , Idaho and Wyoming was agieed
to , and Chairman Springer , who is at the
head of the house ( oiiferees on the first om
nibus bill , wat directed to report and tugo
its adoption at once. This second omnibus
bill has no direct connection , how
ever , with the hrst , which pio-
vides for the admission of. Washington
Montana and Now Mexico , and the division
and admission of Dakota as tw o states. It is
Intended , however , that this second omnibus
bill shall block the way of the ilrst one. An
aiiangement has been made wherooytho
Ilrst omnibus bill will be finally agreed to if
it is given a tair chance. The conferees on
the p.ti t of the liouso will undoubtedly agree
to divide Dakota , giant immediate admission
to the southern half and give an enabling act
to North Dakota nnd to ask the house for
further instructions relative to the demand
of the senate that Now Mexico bostiicken
out. The democtatie confeiees on the patt
of the house uio acting on caucus instruc
tions , nnd cannot agico to strike out New
Mexico at this time , but when they icpott to
the house that body may so mstiuct , and
action can be taken befoio the democrats can
have time to hold another caucus and agico
upon united action. The work to day may
possibly intcrfeio with their piogrammo and
possibly bung about a defeat of any action
for statehood.
The meeting of the house committee on
teiritoiies to day was exciting. Tuulbcoof
Kentucky and Hayes of Iowa made a dash
ing tight in favor of the admission of Utah ,
while Sines of Coloindo , Strublo of Iowa
iindDoisoy of Nebraska opposed it with
gioat vigor , and finally voted the inoposltion
down. The latter wcro not satisfied with
the professions of the Moimons in Utah that
they had abolished polygamy , atfd they sty
it must bo piovcd that polgam } has been
upiooted in that lerritoiy bofoio Utah can
become a state.
