A Remonstrance Being Freely Signed Against It Being Centralized at Des Moines, The bill introduced, and now pending in the legislature, for the settling of the supreme court at Des Moines, has creat- ed no small amount of indignation here as well as at other points in the state. A remonstrance against the bill was yesterday being circulated here, and Council Bluffs will use every possible effort to provent the scheme being car- ried out. The board of trade has ap- pointed a committee to go to Des Moines and fight the bill, and it is to be hoped that by all these cfforts the bill may be killed. Colonel C. R. Scott has whetted his lance and probed the matter to the quick, His argument is clearly made, and strongly put together, and merits wide circulation and careful considera- tion. He makes a strong point against the centralization of power, and in favor of a just distribution of the states insti- tutions, He shows this to be the doc- trine of the early father, and that expe- rience has shown it to be a sound doc- trine. Des Moines is sharply criticised for its evident determination to gobble up everything, now, that the question of course, were disappointed. You are invited to attend the Y. M. C. A, servico to be held at the Presby- terian church on Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Singing from the Gospel Hymns will occupy one-half of the time. Bring your friends with you.

Scott, J. J. Steadman, 8. Kirkland and W, C. James as a commit- tee to go to Des Moines and fight the bill now pending in the legislature to perma- nently locate the supreme court at Des Moines. Mr. James McClurg, of the McClurg Cracker company, has received a letter from his brother, A. H. McClurg, who is visiting his mother in Alleghany, Pa., in which he states that the water in his mother's parlor is three feet high and that the damage by the flood is indescri- bable, Fred Keller says that two bull dogs pitched into him, and when he attempted to defend himself by clubbing the dogs A. W. Boechoff and another fellow whose name he doesn’t know, pitched onto him and thumped him, He now wants them arrested, and Justice Abbott has issued a ‘warrant. Mrs. Fred Brown, of this city, was making anxious inquiries yesterday about her husband, who had been missing since the day before. He works in Omaha, and has been in the habit of crossing and recrossing on the ice, but failing to ro- turn Thursday night, sne fears he has fallen through, Some of ths, young girls who go to the postoftice in the evening and stand in a long line of men waiting for the mails to be distributed should be either more dis- coreet in their manners and talk, or else the police should atep in and make them and the men with whom they joke so ‘boisterously behave themselves, K. E. Aylesworth, E, L. Shugart and A, C. Graham went out into Gainer township Thursday night to meet the citizens there in a moeting to disouss new court house and county jail project. The arguments and facts presented by these gentlemen must have convinced many of those present that they should v for the proposed improvement. ‘The lecture next Monday night at the vpera bouse by Marion B.

The attempt to deprive the people of tho advantages derived from argument terms of the supreme court at Davenport, Dubumm and Council Bluffs, and a centralization of that co-ordinate branch of the at Des Moines, is pronounced but the opening of a scheme to drag every institution in tho state into Des Moines. The subtle influence at work to remove the desf and dumb asylum from Council Bluffs $o Des Moines is an- other showing of what the Des Moines clique is bent on carrying out. As to the bi'l itself, Mr. Scott says: The judi- ciary committee of the senate has report- ed in favor of a bill abolishing terms of the courts at Davenport, Dubuque and Council Bluffs. What for? 0 asked for this action on the part of those elected by the people to represent them? There are not a dozen members of the legislature, I venture, whose constituents desire this thing to be done, or are cognizant of the object or purpose for which it is sought to done. Has any member of the legis- Iature been elected on that issue outside of Des Moines? Could any one be elected on that issue outside of Des Moines? Are the members favor- ing this new departure representing con- stituents at home or constituents at Des Moines?} {Many yeare ago, for the accom- modation of the people, argument terms of that court were established at Daven- port, and afterwards at Dubuque and Council Bluffs. Now if it bo a fact that litigants or attorneys outside of Des Moines have desired the abolition of these terms because of better facilities or conveniences at Des Moines, or for any other reason (1) that can be evolved by a D¢s Moiner—and their aptitude in that direction is truly marvelous—then why is it that in all these years those term have been crowded - with busi- ness, There is no law requir- ing absolutely the argument or submission of any case at either of these courts, By agreement of parties all causes can now, and always could be, | ; since the establishing of those terms ap- pealed to the Des Moinea term, If the pretense was not false, the court at these terms would long since have met and adjourned for want of business, instead, however, the court is required to sit for days to transact the business brought there rather than entail the additional expense upon clients and themsolves, by appealing to the Des Moines term. A fow years ago, the legislature, on the E‘l‘n of economy, cut off the mileage of 0 judges to and from the ument terms, so that now, those terms of court cost the state practically nothing, The fore the cut off was insignificant, but it furnished a protext. backed by the false pretenses of economy, the true object and pur- voses of which was then, as now, to abolish those terms, vo the way for the removal of tfi: other in- stitutions, benefit Des Moines and discommode the people. But it said, with all the gravity which the falsity and speciousness of the declaration per- mit, that it is beneath the dignity of the state to cart its supreme court around to these terms, If, when the udges are en route from their homes to these terms at Davenport, Dubuque or Council Bluffs, the “‘court” is being *‘carted” when th judges are on a pilgrimage to the politi- cal and judicial Mecea of the state to hold court. But perhaps it is intended to pass u supplemental law compelling all the judges to live at Des Moines, That would remove from our proud escutcheon that *‘carting” disgrace, Bat, if the present system is odious, because of the false mption that the court is being *‘carted,” then the federal court of this state is also in disgrace for the same veason, for that court is es- tablished by law at Des Moines, Keokuk, Council Bluffs, Sioux City, Ft. Dodge of between 846and$65, now turns d for ; Mai . and Dubuque, and is also being *‘carted.” Shall that court also be centralized at Des Moines!

Broadway Not to be Paved Bast of the Mothodist Chareh, One of the Rl;.ll;\:!r!; :0 be Bold and New Hose Carts Bought. There was a meeting of the city coun- o1l yesterday afternoon, at which all the members were present excopt Ald. Mo- Mahon, A number of bids were for sidewalks wero received. Wickham Bros. were given the contract for laying brick side- walk on Upper Broadway from First to Frank stroots, at 97 cents, the work to be done by June 1. G. C. Hitchcock was given the con- tract for laging Egyptian cement side- walk on Mynster street, at 80 cents a foot. Wickham Bros, were given the con- tract for brick sidewalks on Main street, between Sixth and Sixteenth avenues, at 80 cents, the work to be done by June 1, Ald. Siedentopf offered a resolution that so much of the paving resolution as provided for the paving of Broadway be- tween Stutsman street and Madison stroet be rescinded. He claimed there was property on that block which would not stand paving. The resolution was adopted, Aldermen Ercher and Keating voting against it. Alderman Siedentopf moved that the paving resolution and ordinances be re- forred to the city attorney with instruc- tions to report next Wednesday after- noon, so that the legality of the action might be made clear before any further action was taken, Alderman Siedentopf called attention to the fact that the property owners along the atreets to be paved had boen given no notice to pave within a certain time or the city would pave and charge it to them. He believed such a notice was necessary to make the action legal. City Attorney Mayne explained thav the recent decisions of the supreme court wero not to that effect. These decisions were simply to the eflect that when the time for making the assessments came then the property owners should be notified so that they might be given a chance to object to the amount assessed. Hedid not believe it was necessary to notify the property owners to pave. Alderman James offered a resolution ordering the property owners on both sides of Sixth and Seventh avenues, be- twoen Pearl and Ninth streets, to curb, gutter and fill those avenues within thirty days, and if not done witnin that time the clerk to advertise for bids and the work to be let to the lowest bidder. Alderman Siedentopf again called at- tention to the inconsistency of giving notice to fill, but not giving notice to ve. Attorney Mayne explained that the filling was somewhat of a matter of doubt but that the paving was not, and the safest way in regard to filling was to give a reasonable notice. He said that the power to order paving was clear, but the filling was yet a matter of doubt. Alderman_Siedontopf sensiblely sug- gested that if there was such s doubt, the matter ought to be settled before the city got any further into it, but the order for filling Sixth and Seventh avenues was passed, The claim of John Dickey, for $130 damages for change of grade in front of his property was referred. o clerk was instructed to readvertise for bids for filling Fifth avenue, between Ninth street and Union avenue. Alderman Wood offered a resolution instructing the mayor and fire committee to got grounds and buildings for hose- carts near the foundry on Main street, First avenue near Eighth street, and one at Bryant springs. The resolution was carried, The question of selling the old city building and engine house was brought up. It was thought that the ocity could uso the material in putting up now hose houses to better advantage than to sell. Alderman Keating moved that the fire dopartment be set at work tearing down the buildings and removing the material, under the supervision of Alderman Keat- ing. OCarried, Alderman Wood moved that the mayor and fire committee be authorized to buy two hose wagons for use of the fire de- pariment, Alderman Siedentopf thought carts were better than wagons. Chief Temploton explained the uso of hose the wagons, as making much less strain |- on the hose than the reels, and believed the w«uu better for the work here, be- ing easier handled. The resolution ordering the two hose carts was passed. Alderman James moved that the Bluff Oity steamer be advertised for sale, and that correspondence be had with the manufacturers of the steamer to see about exchanging it for other fire appar- atus, hose carts, ete. Alderman Keating moved that the mnror and fire committee be empowered to locate a hose cart on lower Main street at once, temporarily. Uarried. explained that th mer being out of service, the team standing idle, and conld be well stabled on lower Main, and a fow hundred feet of hose taken down there.
