qulto a fuctor Prohibition , in my opinion ,
H did not cut any greater llguro than the other
H causes I mentioned , but lot mo glvo you a

< H tricts to dome extent on account of Hutcbl-
AVj bou's failure to support the 3-cent faro and
' AH maximum tariff bills
' BB Uycrs of Lucas There are several leading
MB causes I would class them as follows :
. j First , political indifforencu ; that is , too
! ' much contldonco in the result The ropubll-

' . j many and now they sec u party cau not win
'BH without votes Then wo lost from the pro

among the farmers , lho democrats cast

vote foil off about thirty thousand I ob-
Borvod ono thing , however , worthy of note
Speucer Smith , the republican candidate for
railroad commissioner , who icprcscntod the
policy of the parly on the transportation
question , is the only man running on either

shows that the pcoplo are with us on that

not many .

the mischief Wo lost no votes in my county

the settled policy in Calhoun

circulated by democrats , and the signers are

will claim then that thousands of ropuollcan

tholr requests were ignored Now that tholr
real purpose Is being understood the repub

HECOMMHNDINO UEFOllMS
The recent convention of conntv offlcors
in this city devoted Its tlmo almost ontlroly
to formulating tholr desires for legislation
in which they were interested The county
nttomoys and supervisors mot togcthor , and
the county auditors hold a separate meeting
The former ofllclals adopted a series of reso
lutions on compensation of olUcers which
embody several desired reforms Many of
these grow out of the uhusu of authority in
the ourorcoment of the prohibitory law
Thus , for instance , they recommend that
counti03 shall bo liable for tbo payment of
attorneys omployoa toproserute violations
of the -liqnor l T-uii -vriioit-surtiTtiploy- -
meut is authorized by the county attorney
and tnon only inja case of contest Hero Is
another recommendation that strlltos at tbo
heart of n groit abuse , namely , that the
power of Justices of the peano to appoint
special constables shall bo limited to cases
where there is no constable in the township
or where such ofilcor is prevented from act
mc hlmsolf by absence from the county ,
sickness or previous oQlciiil cngaKemont
There has been great complaint in this vicin
ity ucc.iuso Justices would appoint black
mailing constables to search houses under a
pretence of enforcing the prohibitory law
'J heso follows have preyed upon Dcs Moines
until public pulionco has been exhausted
They were irresponsible mon , worthy of the
ponliouttary , and ono of them Is now under
sentence to that place for perjury , nnd yet
under the cloak of the law they could black
mail honest man nnd line their pockols with
ill gotten gains , Another provision in lho
same line of reform is that no Justicn of the
pcaco in cities of thu llrst class shall bo en
titled to reoolvo or collect from the county
moro than $1,000 per annum for Borvlcos in
criminal cases , nor shall any constable ro-
celvo from the county moro than f000 par
annum for such services Some of the
Justices of this city have been making 0,000
or (7,000 a year from their liquor business
They stand In with the constables and fix
up their enscs so as to gat the lurgost
amount of fees possible out of the business ,
und they have made a lot of money , which
the people have had to pay In taxes
The county auditors at their meeting
united in rccommondlng some desired
changes In the law They want the law
changed so that the total amount of money
which can bo leaned to any ono person from
tbo school fund shall bo { J,000 Instead of
(1,000 as at present They rccoinmond that
a law bo passed providing that all claims
which have been allowed but are not claimed
or paid within ono year shall bo cancelled
and burred from collodion , axcopt upon
good cuuso for falluro to collect before that
lime This Is Intended to cat oft the gang
of fco collectors who Infest every commun
ity nnd buy up old claims The auditors
also suggest that if it bo desirable when the
terms of auditors aud treasurers expire In
different years that tholr present terms bo
extended to January 1893. They think also
that they should huvo tbo same compensa
tion as treasurers und clerks of the
court Ono of tlio main questions
wllicb the auditors uonsldored was that of
a uniform basis of assessment They notad
the fact that there Is it general disposition to
assess property at less than its fuco value ,
and this valuation varies in different locali
ties from S.l .jj per cent of the real value to
GO per cent This variation tends to a dis
crimination between lho counties in the ap
portionment of the state tax So tbo audi
tors rccoinmond either that ilia law requir
ing the listing or property at the full value
bo strictly enforood , or that the law bo re
pealed , and In its place a law bo enacted
requiring the executive council to apportion
in dollars the amount of state roveuuo to bo
raised In thu several counties to each county
In proportion to their ruspactlvo values It
is hoped that the lngisluture will net upon
this BUirgesllon and thus secure uniformity
In assessments all over the state , or provout
the evils which como from a different , basis
of assessments In the different counties

I asked Senator Ingalls yesterday whether

Not so far ns my own party is concerned , "
ho said "If the republicans have a majority
in the legislature I shall no doubt bo returned -

out our way from various causes , and there
Is no tolling what may happen "
Tbo trouble In Kansas seems to bo n di
vision of the republican party into several
factions The antl-prohlbltlon element ,
which Is largo and Increasing , especially in
tbo cities and largo towns , is spread
ing considerably among the country districts ,
• where the fnrmorB In searching for causes
for low prices aud poor crops nnd hard times
are accoptlng the explanation of the antl-
prohibition element that It Is due tn tbo passage -
sago of the prohibitory laws The disaf
fected olemonttooins ! secured control of the
Farmers alliance , which charges the hard
tlmos to high tariff and holds the republican
party responsible for not reducing duties on
food products , clothing , medicine and ether
necessaries of lifo Everybody who Is out
of sorts or has met with mlsfortuno at
tributes the trouble to the same cause and ,
although n revision of the tariff by the pres
ent congress might do some good , It cannot
improve the conditions that oxlstor allay the
discontent , so that the next legislature is
llkoly to bo a mongrel sort of body , divided
Into sovcral factions , without organization ,
nnd fepresentlng all sorts .of thoorles and
policies Thus the Benatorship will bo a frca-
for-all race with a largo nutnbor of candi

During the present session congress Is
going to do something towards extending
our mail Borneo to South Araorica A bill
will doubtless bo passed authorizing the
postmaster general to make contracts for a
term of ton yours or so for the regular and
rapid transportation of malls from the most
convenient ports in the United States to the
principal distributing points in Central and
South America The sorvlco to Brazil ,
which is now only mouthly , will bo in
creased to three times a month and extended
to the Argentine Republic , with which wo
now hava no mail communication whntavor ,
although next to Brazil it is the most import
ant country on the southern continent It is
expected , too , that a fast mall sorvlco from
Tamna , Fla , und Mow Orleans to Aspin-
wall and the Control American ports will
also bo established , so that a letter -
tor from Chicago to Aspinwoll ,
which now requires from twelve
to flitecn days to reach its destination , will
bo carried la five days Both Now Orleans
nnd Tampa are within throe duys voyugo of
the isthmus by ships of any speed , nnd the
little tubs that are now bringing fruits from
Central America make It in four days This
will bo much mora convenient to western
shippers than to send their moll by way of
the slow-freight steamers that sail every ten
days from Now York and require nine or ton
days to make the Journey The mails to
Central and South America have Increased
60 per cent within the last two'years and to
the same countries the increase hns been as
great as U20 per cent The company that is
uow running tbo fast mails from Havana to
Tampa are ready to put on a line of sieamcrH
to Aspinwall whenever the government Is
willing to give them a contract for such a
term of years an will Justify the investment
of tbelr money in line steamers , but they
will not construct vessels for contracts cov
ering only a tingle year , as provided by the
present law The house on merchant marina
is about ready to report a bill for the en
couragement of the vessel interest , which
adopts the French system of pavlnga bounty
of 30 cents per registered ton for every mlle
sailed , and it is believed such a mcasuro will
pass both the house and the senate
CHICAGO CONFIDENT
Colonel Davis said this afternoon : "I am
as conildonl of success In this fight as I am
of getting my dinner tonight If we can col
a vote on that bill we shall certainly win ,
and If a fuir is held it will bo held at Chi
cage "
The St Louis people have practically with
drawn from the race They still keep their
headquarters in charge of a colored man and
the cards are still huuglng in the windows ,
where they have been slnco the middle of
November , but the local commlttco have dis
charged all its lobbyists and has gone homo ,
leaving the work ontlroly in oharge of the
congressmen , and the congressmen uro now
talking against holding u fair at all They
say It is Imposslblo to got ready for a proper
exposition in lS'J'J , and thatsoine ether means
of celobratlng the dlscovory of America
might bo adopted at less expense to the gov
ernment and bo of equal honor to Columbus
Iioprescntutive Frank Haid today thut ho did
not kuow whotbor there would bo a fair or
not , and thut the sentiment against it was
growing rapidly In both houses of congress ,
and white bo should vote for the bill himself ,
bo feared it might not pass
The Chicago people are counting noses on
the worlds fair and are very contldent of
success They have 137 votes absolutely
pledged to Chicago , which , assuming that
tbaro will bo the ordinary nunibor of ab
sentees , would be a majority of the house
but in addition to these 137 votes there are
thlrteon , who , while they have given no
pledges , huvo expressed themselves in favor
of Chicago und will vote that way This is
the way Chicago stands against the Hold ,
but with St Louis withdrawn the Chicago
people have at least ISO , if not 200 votes ,

removal of the Iowa Xm\tlo \ flags from the state
arsenal to the capltol building There are a
largo number of these dags which represent
the valor and bravery of Iowa soldiers
Some are in good condition ; others are so
tattered and torn that they will hardly bold
together They are exposed to the risk of
further destruction where they now are , and
so It is proposed to nut them In glass cases ,
hermetically sealed , at tbo state house
Many visitors to the eipitol want to see the
battle flags but do not find It ho convonlent to
go to the arsenal as to the state house Tbo
governor recommends their removal and
some of the leading Grand Army men are
urging it A line location for the tings could
bo found In the main corridors Jt has been
suggested ih'at wnon the removal has boon
decided upon a bat tlo flag day bo ap
pointed , and the transfer of the banners
bo accompanied by a military display , aud
appropriate exorcises Iowa's most eloquent
soldier and most inspiring civilian , especially
among the younger mon , those too young teen

that occasion , the ono to represent the valor
that defended the flags , the ether to'ropro-

Asked for the Union Pnolllc
beventy-llvo Ycnrs For
the Central
Flndlncn or the Committee
Wasmnotow Fob 10. The sonata spoctnl
commtttco on Pacific railroads , after many
hearings , thorough Investigation and careful
consideration , has Anally accepted the reports -
ports of Senator Fryo on the Union Pnclllo
and of Senator Davis on the Central Pacific
railroads and has agreed to the bill provid
ing for the refunding of their debts ,
The report on the Union Pnclllo reaches
the following conclusions ;
1. That the policy of building or ncqutrlng
branch lines wns wise , nnd through the
period covered by the inquiry , honestly and
economically oarrlod out
0. That the main line has dorlvcd immense -
monso advantugo from its branches und that
there Is no foundation for the ehargo that
the latter have rccclvnd undue benefit at the
cxpctiBO of the main line
3. That the building of the Oregon Short
Line and the subsequent acquirement of the
Oregon Railway & Navigation company's
lines , instead of being a monaca to the Inter
est of thn government , have proved decided
advantages
4. That the recent consolidation of several
branches under the iiamo of the Oregon
Short Line & Utah Northern railway com
pany simplifies tbo system of the Union Pa
cific , makes it possible to obtain moro etfoct-
ivo and economical management nnd In no
way ovldoncos any purnoso to evade the obli
gations to thn government
5. That the branches , Instead of being
maintained at the expense of the main line ,
contribute nt least $3,000,000 , a year to the
troaiury of the company
0. That the . Improvements have boon for
several years past creator on tbo main line
than on the brunches , some of thom very
important and expensive
7. That there Is no evidence of any purpose -
pose on the part of the company to surrender
that portion of the road over which tbo gov
ernment has a statutory lion ; on the contrary
there is every reason tondiug to sa' .isfy any
candid person that no such purpose exists
8. That this Is a cuoablo , well mannged
road , abundantly able to pay Its debts , re
quiring only , llko every ether railroad , tlmo
la which to pay
0. That the present management is hon
estly trying to effect a fair adjustment with
the government
10. That the interests of the govornmout
nnd the railway company will bo promoted
by the settlement and that ono can bo made
now under which every dollar owed the gov
ernment , with lntorcat , can bo paid
It llndn the present security to bo a sta
tutory lien on the road commencing three
miles west of the Missouri river and extend
ing to a uoint llvo miles west of Oregon und
on another road commencing half a mlle
west of Kansas City and extending to a
point 803 miles westerly commencing in a
prairie and ending none , not enough to pro
tect the government debt , if it , shall not
bo adjusted until it Becomes duo , within
(30,000,000 , while undortho bill to bo re
ported tbo security obtained will be twice
the goverumont debt in value sad the pay
ments , according to the terms of tbo bill ,
absolutely certain
The report on the Central Pacific finds
that the United States has for security a
statutory lion on the road commencing ut a
point llvo miles west of Ogdan and extend
ing to San Jose , without the lorminal facili
ties at cither end made subject to the mort
gage , to secure bonds equal in amount to tl.o
• original Indebtedness of the company to the
United Stales ; that the portion of the road
from Ogden to the westerly slope of the
Sierra Novadas is practically only a
brulgo , without any local business
ol any amount ; that the roads
reaching from the main line Into Nevada do
not now pay expenses ; tbat lho present se
curity of the United States upon this prop
erty Is ontlroly inadequate ; thai foreclosures
of the first niortgago would substantially ex
haust in satisfaction thereof tbo entire prop
erty , and that It would be Inexpedient for
the United States to rcdooin It from said
mortgngoorto become the owner of the
properly through redemption and fore
closure
The report finds it Is expedient , necessary
and practicable to adjust and further
secure the Indebtedness to the United
states upon extended time at n reduced rate
of interest within tlio roads ability to pay ,
upon such terms as to advance the develop
ment of the country through which the
roads pass , and to afford the inhabitants
thoreot reasonable rates of transportation
for passengers and freight
From the report It appears that the Cen
tral Pncillo has not un ability to pay at all
equal to that of the Union Pacific , but under
the terms of tlio bill to be reported can
make flpal and full payment reasonably cer
tain Tlio bill agreed upon includes within
its provisions the Union Pacific railroad
company , the ICunsus Pacitlo railroad com
pany , thn central branch of the Union Pa
citlo railroad company consolidated unaor
tbo name of the Union Pacific railroad com
pany , tbo Central Pacific railroad company ,

for the payment to the United States of that
amount with 3 per cent interest , payable semi

annually , so the entire debt may bo paid In
sixty years It requires thut the Union Pacific
railway company shall give a mortgage on
all Its property bf every name and descrip
tion , real , mixed and personal , and also pre
serves to the United States Its presout statu ,
tory lieu In the event of the falluro of said
company to accept the provisions of tbo act

all services renaorod for tbo government ,
and in addition thereto tbo sum
of (3,000,000 a year , or 75 per cent of the
whole net earnings of the Union Pacitlo
railway company It provides also for ex
tending the provisions of tbo Thurman act
to the Kansas Pacitlo railway company and
tbo central branch of the Union Paciflo rail

ago , and opcrato tbo road , branches and

Interest of the debt shall have been fully

Section six provides for the ascertalnraan t
of the present worth of the debt of
the Central Paciflo railroad company ,
and for the payment of the interest ut the
rate of 3 per cent per annum ,
payable semiannually , and bo much of the
principal as Bball result In the payment of
the entire debt in soventy-flva years , but to
order to rollevo the road from too great a
burden during the next ton years , as it is
necessary for it to make some extensive im
provements It capitalizes for that tlmo ono
half of the 2 per cent to bo paid , The bill re
quires a mortgage of the entire property of
the Central Paciflo railroad company , in
cluding some very important roads in Cali
fornia , and also , by tbat section and a sub
sequent ono , that the Southern Paciflo rail
road company and the Central Pacific shall

The promlso was quickly made nnd almost |

They are true , " answered Mr Mahoney , U
and as I shall have them reiterated on the |

who recognized tbo seller of the cuttle as H
the illegitimate son of the Mr , nnd Mrs , Nell H
of Council Bluffs , I boo no reason for uiy M
dodging the question " M

What do you think , Mr Mahoney , of the H
