nrst tlmo in the history of the city that any
salary has over beem paid to the park com-
mlssloncis. The law originally fixed the

Utrncr ' Protest.
The supreme court has rendered another
decision that Is of considerable Interest as
adding to the strength of a previous opinion
denning the powers of cities and towns
to collect taxes for special Improvements.
The city officials have taken a deep Interest
In the broad scope ot the decisions. The de
cision was Tendered In the case of Denny
against the City ot DCS Moines , In which
Dtnny resisted the efforts of the city to col
lect grading und paving taxes against his
property , Denny's case was very similar tea
a number that are on the dockets ot the lo
cal courts against property owners who have
neglected to pay the final payments of their
special assessments. In most cases the own
ers have refused to pay for the reason that
the taxes are assessed against property un
improved nnd nonproductive , and who believe
uiiu H is worth less to them than the
amounts charged on the tax books. In the
briefs laid belore the supreme court , the
question was raised as to the Justice of the
judgment of the lower court that wholly ex
tinguished the owner's title to the property
and gave It to the city In satisfaction of the
Judgmeivl for taxes. The supicnio court not
only upheld the finding , but went n great
deal further and declared that the owner ot
the property was liable to a personal Judg
ment for the balance ot the taxes , after the
forced sale of the property had failed to
icallzo enough to extinguish the debt. This
finding was based upon the court's Interpre
tation of section -ITS of the code , which de
fines the power of the city council In deter
mining the necessity for street Improvements ,
and confers upon it the power of being sole
Judge as to that necessity , making it impos
sible for any cltl/cn to stop any Improve
ment that he might not fancy bji the usual
recourse to an Injunction. The supreme court ,
holds that this power Is not in contravention
of the rights and privileges of any citizen
or property owner , and is not In conflict with
the constitutionality of any statute , state or
national.
The In.nrovements aider consideration by
the court were of the same nature and the
conditions were very similar to these that
prevail on Lower Broadway , the abutting
oroperty being but slightly improved and
the street but sparsely settled. The action
of the council In ordering the Improvements
had been attacked and denounced as fraudu
lent , just as some of the property owners here
have done. In paswlng upon this phase ot
IMo question the supreme court declared :
| "The action of the council ordering the Im
provements uyon the street was not fraudu
lent by the fact that there WCTO but few
houses on the street and the owners of abut
ting property objected to the Improvement. "
The section of the code Is cited which d6-
clarcs : "Special taxes shall bo r ald and
shall become a Hen on the abutting prop
erty. " The court then goes on to define this
liability , de larkig : "It is prcpor In an ac
tion to enforce payment of special taxes for
a decree to order a special execution against
the owner for any balance that may remain
unpaid otter the property has been ex
hausted. " Under this ruling any city has
the power to seize the property In the actions
that have been commenced and l i the cases
whore Judgment has been obtained and offer
it for sale to the highest bidder and If the
amount realized is not sufficient to pay the
judgment for taxes a deficiency Judgment
may be taken against the owner and another
execution taken against any other property
be may havo.
When the city undertook to enforce cay-
ment by suit In the cases of numerous de
linquents In Council Bluffs the total amount
of unpaid special taxes approximated $23-
000. A largo proportion of this has been
placed In judgment , but the threat that a
deficiency judgment might be taken led
conio of them to pay up before the suits were
The broad sccpe of the decisions is of ad
ditional Interest as settling the power of the
council to order public Improvements when
ever In the estimation of the membera It Is
necessary to make them. There has been an
impression among many of the members that
a street could not bo legally ordered paved
unless a majority ot the property owners
petitioned for It. These decisions sweep away
that lir.presslcn and leave the council free to
ast and legislate for the benefit of the whole
city , oven though It is against the exprcas
wishes of all of the residents on tlio streets
to bo Improved.

A suit to recover $10,000 for false arrest
and malicious prosecution is being tried
In the district court. The plaintiff is Wil
liam Oajhart nnd the defendants H. G.
Fisher and others. All parties llvo In the
eastern end of the county. Gayhart is an
illiterate man and it has been shown on two
previous trials and on thU ono that his In
ability to read or write was largely the
cause of his trouble. In some of his deal
ings with Fisher Gayhart gave what ho be
lieved was a simple note , but which turned
out to bo a chattel mortgage covering some
of his farm stock. Failure to pay the ob
ligation resulted in the property L'alng
taken possession of. Qayhart told his story
to n lawyer and the stuff was replovlned.
In the hearing of the caao Gayhart swore
positively that ho had never signed the
mortgage note and won the case. About the
same tlmo ho became mixed up In a deal by
which ho got some goods on an order which
was alleged to have been forged. Prosecu
tion was started nnd Gayhart was Imitated
on both charges of forgery and perjury nnd
was tried and acquitted on each. These
trials form the grounds for the $10,000
damage suit. When the plaintiff concluded
his evidence last evening the defendants
made a motion to take the case from the
Jury. The motion was argued and taken
under advisement until this morning.

Complaints , accompanied by reports of ac
cidents by falling on Icy sidewalks , con
tinued to pour Into the city building yes
terday. The limited number of men In the
employ of the street commissioner's de
partment rendered It impossible to take of
ficial notice of the complaints and abate the
nuisances complained of. The best that
could bo done was to glvo the bearers of
the tales of woo advice to sprinkle ashes on
the Icy walks , In many cases this was
done without waiting for the suggestion to
IAI made by the city officers. It was note
worthy that all of thcso thoughtful citizens
wcro these who have always been the first
to sweep the enow from the sidewalks after
a storm , The people who habitually ex
hibit their contempt for the convenience and
comfort of others and never remove an ob
stacle from the pathway of a fellow mortal
are keeping off their own Ice-covered pave
ments and walking In the street when they
pass the premises ot people of their own
kind.
The pay roll of the city employes has been
made up for last month , but the warrants
cannot bo issued until after the council
meets in regular session on Monday night.
Whether the warrants are to bo again

DES 'MOINES , Feb. 2. ( Special Tolo-
gram. ) mio plan of county care'for the Insane -
sane \vaa given a hard knock In the senate
ways and mcnns commlttoo today. Many
counties have been erecting asylums and
maintaining their patients outside the ntato
Institutions at less ooat. Several county
asylums have occasioned scandals , and the
commltteo decided to illscourago'thcm. The
bill by 'Mnlloy ' to allow counties to levy 2tt
mills tax to support their OMI niylunw was
the occasion for a long discussion. The levy
\vna finally cut to 1 mill na ou means to dla-
courage counties from building their own
asylums. It was stated that many ot the
so-called county asylums are pimply annexes
to poor farms , where Insnno people are kept
In squalor ; cases were cited of Inmates , being
allowed to llvo Indiscriminately together
nnd Insane women bearing children as a ro
suit of such methods.
A primary elections bill was presented in
the house and senate providing a penalty
of $100 for Illegal voting at primary elec
tions. It Is backed by the Polk county mem-
bcrs and has ai publication clause attached ,
to get It Into effect before the elty primar
ies here. It Is backed by the Sherman fac
tion In the city campaign. It Is claimed by
the Sherman people that the MncVlcarltca
want to vote the democrats in the primaries
and this bill Is alleged to be aimed at this
practice. The MacVlcarltos claim the bill
Is Intended to iurnlsh an Instrument for
bulldozing voters.
Senator Hobart presented a bill to relieve
small cities that under the present laws
cannot operate saloons , although the great
majority of voters want them. It Is now
provided that towns of 2.GOO to G.OOO may
open Edloons provided they secure petitions
of SO per cent of the voters. The town of
Cherokee , Hobart's homo , has a few less
than 5,000 people and has come within a
score of getting the SO per cent of signers.
The bill changes from SO to 05 per cent the
number of signers necessary in such towns.
REVISION OP BALLOT LAW.
How to make- the Australian ballot law
satisfy all demands on It Is a question that
agltatM the Iowa legislators. When the law
wns first passed six years ago It was pro
vided that there should bo a circle at the
head of the ticket and a square in front
of the name of each candidate. To vote a
straight tlcliot It was required to place a.
cross In the circle at the head ; to divide
the ticket the cross could bo placed there
and then crosses IffiidcIn the squares op
posite the names of'the candidates on other
tickets for whom It was desired to vote.
This led to confusion , and two years ago
it was changed. I'lie new provision leaves
the clcles and squares , but provides that
the circle must not b < T used unless an ab
solutely straight .ticket Is voted ; if the
ticket Is split every candidate must be
market 'with a cross In , the square opposite
his name.
This change has been unsatisfactory. It
has given rise .to a , great number of con
tested elections , two of which are now being
considered by special committees of the
legislature , Involving ejcats In that body.
Two or three bills , have been Introduced to
remedy fho diniculty. The favorite plan Is
to abolish the clrclo at the head o the :
ticket and .raako an absolute requirement
that every candidate voted for bs marked
with a clrclo In the square opposite his
name. There Is opposition to this on the-
ground tha't It might cause confusion and
that It would be misunderstood by voters
accustomed to the old method. A strong
disposition Is manifested recently to leave
the law as It now stands and wait till the
voters become accustomed to It.
The legal fight which the foreign Insur
ance companies have begun against the new
Iowa law for taxation of Insurance business
practically assures that no change In this
law will bo made at this session. There
have been rumors of attempts at restoring
the old law , but the commencement of
the actions by the foreign companies
amounts to burning their bridges behind
them and the legislature will leave the mat
ter to the determination of the courts.

HA It I. V XBWSI' MM2IIS IN IOWA.
'RcnilnlHconocH of Ilny.i llpfore ilic
'War In Diiliiuiiic.
Dubuque , cs I first saw It In 1838 , was a
elty of perhaps 10,000 population , but like
many other Iowa towns of larger claims , the
panic of the previous year had squeezed the
life out of a good many .enterprises . , espe
cially in the harbor improvement line , and
about every business felt the stringency. Just
when the Dubuque & Sioux City Railroad
company , the Dubuque Southwestern and the
harbor Improvement companies first made
their appearance I do not remember , writes
cx-Lleutenant Governor Matt Parrott ; but
for several years this paper currency bad
full sway , not only In Dubuque , hut In the
country west for many miles. It Improved
the- times while It circulated , but In the end
pinched every holder.
In these early d-iys Dubuque was quite a
newspaper town , and In the years 1S3S-GO
had three or four dailies the Times. Ex
press and Herald , the Northwest , and I be-
Ilevo another whose name I have forgotten.
The Times was , as now , republican ; the Ex
press and Herald espoused the oiuso of
Douglas and the Northwest was the adminis
tration CBuchanan ) crgan. The latter was
published by Colonel Heath , and 'between '
Dorr and 'Heath there was un irrepressible
conflict , growing out of the differences In
their democracy , which kept the editorial
Inkstand sizzling with the heat ot their con
troversies. D. A. Mahony was also prominent
on the Express and Herald.
The Times 'was edited by Jesse Clement ,
a poet , and a man of fine literary ability , but
hardly adapted to the rough and ready
methods of western politics. Years before
had published a literary magazine In 'Buffalo ' ,
N. Y. , and lie was better qualified for that
kind of work. I recently learned that . -two
of his apprentices on this magazlqe were
Charles A. Aldrlch and IH' ' . L. Rann , for
many years .editor of the Manchester Press ,
but who dieJ a year or so ago. Wo haveIt
on the authority ot Mr. Aldrlch that in those
early days Mr. Rann wrote poetry , fine
poetry , too , and that lie gave promise of
winning a high place among American poets.
But ho guvicr It up a few years later , and de
voted his tlmo to writing terse and vigorous
editorials on public questions. Mr. Aldrlch
worked on one of the Dubuque dallies In
these early days , and went -from there to
Webster City , where he established the
Freeman , and has become Justly noted for
his work in gathering material for the Iowa
historical collection. He , before ho 'left
New York , had a fine literary taste , and
was a contributor to the old Knickerbocker
Magazine , which still is kindly remembered
'by ' the old-time New Yorker.
Mr. iMahoay 'was a strong democrat and
had troublous times during the war. In 1872
he beovmo attached to the Greelcy movement
and was a delegate to DCS Molnes , whore
Groclcy was Indorsed by the miscellaneous
politicians who compose ! that gathering.
Returning from It , 'he was a guest of Hon. J.
B. Grinncll at Grinnell , and ho and a former
republican , who had espoused the Grcit'ley '
cause , slept In a bed once occupied 'by old
John Brown , Justi think of that ! A man so
thoroughly aggressive In his democracy as
Mr. Mahony cuddling down under the bed
clothes which had formerly sheltered Ossa-
mattanilo Brown of Harper's Kerry notoriety.
J , B. Dorr left the newspaper business
nnd entered the army during the war ,
eventually becoming colonel of the 'Eighth
Iowa cavalry. Ho was a good officer , some
times reckless in his bravery. A story Is
related that while In the cavalry service
one evening ho was returning from a re-
connoltcrlng expedition. Ho and his com
panions reached a place lined with a rocky
ledge for some distance. It was an Ideal
place for the bushwhackers and Colonel
Dorr took In the situation at once. TurnIng -
Ing to a corporal with his party , he asked
him If ho would like to be made a sergeant.
"Certainly , " said the corporal , "but how ? "
"Put your spur to your horse and pass
those rocks. Yon will draw the lira of any
one concealed behind them and we'll know
the situation. " The corporal did not want
promotion bad enough to take the chances
and Colonel Dorr used his own spurs and
was soon flying down the road , llo was
right In his surmises. Men were In wait
ing behind the rocks and the colonel got a
hot fihot and a bad wound for his reckless
ness.
ness.Tho
The first democratic speech I heard in
Iowa was by Ben M. Samuels of Dubuque.
He was the democratic candidate for gov
ernor , but an unsuccessful one , Ho was a
fine speaker , Impressive in his oratory and
his pronunciation of lowuh , with the accent
on the last syllable , has always been re-
momberod. Dubuque had n sooil many po
litical stumpers In Its early days. Shubal
P. Adams , strong In story telling llustra-
tlons , and Joseph Chapllno dolns valiant
sorvlco for the republican cause. William
Vandover , afterward colonel of the Ninth
Iowa , had n memorable campaign with Wil
liam Lclllngwcll In 1859.
In the Lincoln campaign of 186) Dubuque
advertised a big political meeting , with
William II. Seward as the principal attrac
tion. In company with many other en
thusiastic republicans , I went In to hear
thn distinguished senator. The speech WASte
to ho delivered In the afternoon , but Seward
had been up In Minnesota and had come to
Dubuque by boat , and In consequence did
not arrive. There was a big meeting in a
city park , but everybody was disappointed
at Seward's non-arrival , Ho had not ar
rived at 8 o'clock and many of us went to
the depot for a homeward etart. Then wo
heard the whistle of the boat and back wo
went. Somewhere about 10 o'clock Seward
made hta appearance on the steps of the
JulH'ii housa and addressed the crowd for
half an hour or so and wo left satisfied , hav
ing seen and heard the lion of the day.
