The- petitions of John Llncler and 0. Har ris for remission of liquor tax were refused , Petition of S , Ilasa for tlie opening of a road past the pe&t house was refused. The matter of the Lewis , township road leading Into the city , which Is said to be In bad condition , was > referred to the board ot iiipervlsors. " The committee lo which was referred the upstlon of who should care for the pauper Ick reported that arrangements with the ounty board had been made , by which the latter should pay for the care of such pa- ients. The petition ot Elijah Stephenson and others 'or cutting out a part of Ninth avenue from ho sidewalk ordinance was granted. The petition for opening up Fifteenth av- nuc was granted. Chief Scanlan and Chief Nicholson filed a letltlon asking that the 'police and flro de- artiuents bo allowed to. give n dance for he purposeof raising money to buy unl- orms. Keller thought there was an ordl- ance forbidding such a thing , and so the hlng was referred to the flre and police committee to find out what the law was.

Emmet Tlnley asked the c uncil to all w Ills father's bid on coal to be considered , nl- .hough It was tiled a day late. Other coal dealers present objected to this , and T. P. Wright of the Carb n Coal company bald hat since he put In his bid coal had fallen 25 cents a ton , so that nny one coming In at a later date would huve an advantage over the rest. "Then throw out all bids and readvertlse , " said Tlnley , "I'll pay for the advertising. " Ills proposition waS tejected , liowevcr , on the ground that such a. m vc would nuke a bad precedent. lds ! Wire opened fiom II , A. Cox , the Carbon Coal company and W , W. Williams.

Charles F. Clinic , postmaster of Atlantic , editor ot the Atlantic Telegraph nnd leader nmonft the democrats of the district , has been indeavoilng to stir up a muss by having a democratic convention called for the purpose of placing In nomina tion a democratic candidate for congress. He has been corresponding with the democrats all o\er the district , and what the end will be ct Is hard to determine , Chase claims that there Is no democratic candidate In nomination , and he cannot tec the reason for this being thus , Just at Ihe tlin ° , of all others , when nil democrats ought to be proud of their democracy , Neverthe less , he has been unable to make a good ntany democrat ? look at the matter In the same light Mlth himself , for they are not so sure about the credit tlmt attaches to slmon pure democracy , People of that stanlp to whom he has addressed himself have Klvcn him the cold shoulder , but there nra others , scattered all over the district , In spile ot the party o'rgan published In this ctly , who sympathize with Chase's move ment , and are doing nil In their power to help him. The time lias not yet gone by tor nominations to bs made , nnd there Is some probability that the next few weeks will see a democratic convention called to supply the deficiency In candidate1 ! . At a meeting of the Montgomery county demo cratic central commmlttee , held last week at lied Oak , a resolution -vvas adopted asking Postmaster Chase to tender his resignation as a member ot the state committee. Some quiet but energetic work Is being done bj- the local candidates preparatory to the two county conventions to be held th s week. Most of the fighting on the demo cratic side Is over the offices ot clerk and county itl rney. For the latter offlce two candidates nre prominently mentioned , Judge E. B. Aylesworth and Herman Sclmrz. The latter Is supported by the faction hcndsd by William Henry Kncpher and other well known demecratlc statesmen , and , It Is said , has the support of the party organ. Judge A.vlesnorth , on the other hand , has the sup port of most of the respectable element. It Is a questl-n of a good deal of uncertainty wh ch of the two elements ot the party will ccmo out on top. The fight for the nomination for the clerk ship is betw wi J. M. F nlon and L. Zur- mnehlen , Jr. Each of these la a democrat In whom Is considerable guile , and as a vast amount of work en the q. t. has been done by each in the last few wr > eks.

( Special Tele gram. ) At the adjourned hcar.ng before the railway commissioners today , tticro were about 175 delegates fr'in the State Jobbers and Shippers association and the railways were liberally represented by prominent officials. Hon. Frank T , Campbell occupied the entire morning session with a presenta tion of the shippers' side ot the case , ma'n- talnlng that the rstcs should not be In creased , He said that when the present rates were put In , the commissioners were obliged to act partly frcm conjecture , but now they had experience upon which to base their decision. In 1SS8 the enactment of the Interstate commercp law had left the railroad rate situation such that the slates were obliged to change their pulley In regard to local rates. Tin Iowa legislature Impose 1 upon the ccmmUaUners the duty of fixing a schedule of rates. The board was then In the dark as to tlie actual rates , but on the testimony of the railroad officials and others based the new schedule , not on the published schedules , but on the rates actually In % oguc. The new rntaa luuo been vindicated first bj' the court and tecondly by exper once as to revenues , tonnage und prcs > peilty cf the rail roads and the people , and the plea for a reduction is not now made on the ground that the present rates are not remunerative , but for the reason that they are alleged to bo too low , as compared with the alleged , but not real , standards In other states. The railroads are not represented hero by the men who could inform the board as to the effect of the rates upon earnings , but by ofllcijls In other depsrtrients , who are unable to furnish these facts. Now , other states are no standard for loua en rates , nny more than en morals. It Is sufficient thut Iowa has fixed n'tes which are remunerative and generously so There has bun no railroad dcmaral.zatlon and no bankruptcy In Iowa mulct these rates. The roadt are making so much that when required to show their earnings In aider to Justify reduced tniln icrvico or for uny oilier reason , the roads have withdrawn petitions rather than show their hands. The roads are paying large dividends , excessive Interest and piling up millions cf surplus. Willie the people ef Iowa are losing money on their business , the rail roads arc asking an average advance of 322-5 pr cent en the first four classes tf freight. It Is an untimely request. It will destroy Iowa Industries , old and new. Thousands of Iowa citizens are sending In remonstrance * against the change , both badly timed , because of the financial depression and unjust and unnecessary on general grounds. At this afternoon's session the following gentlemen made arguments against nny raise In rates : W. L. Roach of Musratlne , repre senting the lumber Interests ; P. W. Smith of Davenport. N. W. IJnrrls of Cedar Falls , Kobcrt Donohue of JJurlliigtan , hardware ; Major S. Mahon of Oltumwa , Captain I * Bryson of Davenport , J. Bt Romans of Denl- son , H. W. Harper of Ottmmvn , S. W.

SIOUX CITY , Sept , 18. ( Special Tele- grain. ) The litigation growing out of the al leged speculations of ths county supervisors may come to a sudden end. Four members of the board accused have proposed to thf citizens und taxpayers' committee , which Is pushing the Impeachment proceedings , that they will resign If the committee will drop the cases and promise not to push criminal proc'edlngs before the grand Jury , and as a further consideration will consent to the Issuance - suanco of a permanent Injunction to restrain them and the county ofllcers from bonding $258,000 of county warrants , $150,000 of which it Is alleged are Invalid claims against the county ns they stand because of the unlaw ful acts of the supervisors that gave > rise to them. Some of the committee favor accept ance of the proposition , und others want to push the prosecution. The principal bar to the settlement , however , Is County Atlorn ° y Criflln's refusal to allow the costs In the bond case to stand against the county.
