FIFTEENTH YEAR, HALL'S POLITICAL PANEGYRIC The Towa Representative's Brilliant Apos- trophe of Campaign Character, HIS EULOGY ON HENDRICKS. Hypereritical Colleagues Denote it More of Hustings Oratory than Tribute to the Dead-—Postal Changes—Capital Nows. Towa's Tribute to Hendr| o WasnixGroy, Feb, pecial Telegram. | ~People who read the Congressional Record to-day were surprised at certain expressions they foind in the eulogy delivered by Repre- sentative Hall of Burlington (Towa) in the house yesterday on the late Vice President Hendricks, Some members w 80 unkind 15 to remark that such observations wonld be yastly more appropriate on a democratic stump and during a campaign (save the elegance of diction) than where they were uttered. The following are some of the paragraphs which attract comment: “If, in taking that last ereat step in 1876, he seemed to stumble and fall, it may be doubted if unworthy hands had not tied treacherous gr across his path; but the rectification in 1884 of that mistake or wrong restored him in his course, and established that there should be no regression in his career. How he was loved by the people of his great and noble state! In a long and eventful life he had been brought into contact with all of them. Again and again had he come into the midst of every locality and community, and talked to them at the hust- Ing: He was ‘Tom Hendricks’ and they w ‘the boys,’ not in any wild or unworthy sense, but as friends and equals. I need not recount the many political contests which agitated that great state to illustrate the marvelons hold he had in the faith and affections of her people. “In the lastgreat quadrennial struggle we of Towa watched the contest with an anxiety never to be forgotten. Clinging to the same political faith after a quarter of a century of obloquy and deteat, struggling like men who hope when there is no hope, we knew our battle must be fought and won in other states and by other hands than ours. We felt sure of New York. We needed Con- necticut, but did not dwell upon her vote. How was Indiana going, and where was Hendricks? With an anxiety which mere political contests ought not to force upon a people, we behold concentrated and converging upon her every applignce and every influence from without. We wit- nessed an invasion of her domain by the ‘Plamed Knight' and his retainers, and the state practically taken possession of as Ohio had been the month before. But when that potent but unnatural event had passed, we learned that it had only stimulated into re- newed and more tremendous exertion the spirit of our party. We knew that Hen- dricks had azain come forth from self-retire- ment, and had taken the old beaten path that lay sonear the homes and hearts of his fellow- ens, and, in the old familiar, persuasive as summoning them for help once “‘I have pledged them the state. My name and faith are involved. It is 1 that cal We in Iowa heard the loud shout responsive %0 the call, At night, by means of the tele- wraph and press, we saw the distant auroral light gleam upward from city, town and ham let, all ablaze with toreh and zeal. We knew the spirit of Hendricks was abroad in Indi- ana, and that as sure as the sun should rise on that eventful November day, Indiana would be ours if human power could make it s0, And when at last the result was known who was there who did not comprelend that while Mr. Hendricks was second on the ticket, yet it was his to consider which were the higher honor and greater glory—to be or 1o make the president.”” TOWA POSTAL CHANGES.

This will necessitate the summoning of w large number of witnesses from almost every partof the country, and will lead to one of the most extensive investigations ever made by congress, 1t develops that the com- mittees, by ealling upon nominees to answer charges, and {1:0:¢ who have made them for additional information, simply complicates affairs by securing additional testimony pro and con, and it is thought the best plan will e to call here the aceused and aecusers, sce all the parties and take testimony from their lips, thereby consulting appearances as well as words, A PRETIY POSTOFFCE FIGHT, ‘There s a very pretty three-cornered fight over the postoffice at Muscatine (Iowa), which promises to still further disrupt the demoeratic organization in that part of the state, ‘The three candidates for the place are Samuel Dunn, 8. J, Russell and Editor Betz of the Muscatine Tribune. The two former already on the ground, and Betz is ex: pected this week. Dunu has excellent en- ddersements for the place, but lacks the power- ful name of Boss Jere Murphy, Russell possesses this supposed talisman on his papers. 1tis not known yet on what grounds Betz expects to “get there,” but his friends ay e will make the fur fly when he arrives. A SUBJECT FOR REJECTION, Morris ‘Thomas, the Indian inspector from Maryland and the henchman of Senator Gorman, abont whom 50 much is now beiug #mid in the newspapers. and whose ease th senate determined to iuvestigate to-day, is the inspector of Indians for Dakota, Ne- braska, lowa and Wisconsin, Mo was out in that region last sununer fora nnmber of weeks, but was recalled about Chrisinias tine. The charges fled against him are wost damaging and affecr his reputation as a citi- zen. Although Gorman is making a very strong figh® for his contirmation he will prol- ably be rejected, RLCOMMKNDS A FERRY PRIVINEGE.

THE ESSENCE OF GALL. WasinxGroy, Feb, s—[Speeial.|~It is absolutely disgu: & the way army and navy men, and those connected with other branch- ©s of the government seryice, work for favor with the members of congress who are in po- sitfon to assist them, At one of the leading hotels here reside two or three members of the house, Their famali re with them. I of the meners occupy a position on the committee on wilitary or naval affairs of the house, Constantly at thehecls of the wives or daughters of these members is an army or naval oflicial. Flowers, parties, the- aters, drives -nothing is too expensive, troublesome or cheeky for these persistent individuals to bestow. By being on favora- ble terms with the families of the members these men lope for favors from the husbands and fathers, In the same way do all classes of govern- ment employes enrry favor, and in some in- stances it becomes annoying and a souree of ndal. The wonder is that the ladies do not see for what purpose these attentions are bestowed, NO BANKRUPT LAW. “There will be no bankrupt law enacted by this congress, d an influential member ot the senate committee on judiciary to your correspondent. “Why?"

Whe one of their customers get into a finan straight they do not learn of it until he has assigned. Then comes the preferred creditor work. Now the wholesaler in the small city has a cireum seribed field. He is near his customers, hears from them frequently, and does not suffer by the preferred creditor system when an as- signment is made. He has less failures, too, under present laws, There is a great deal of opposition to a bankrupt law now, although 1 think we should have one.” 11; PRESIDENT EXPLAINS, To every newspaper man who has called at the white house during the past fortnight, it is , the president has brought up the subject he recent'y treated, in which he said newspaper men were liars, Mr. Cleveland may as well be rightly understood first as last.

POOR MATHEMATICAL FIGURING Yesterday's Legislative Proceedings —A Nebraska City Divorce Suit With a Smack of Omaha Inter- Other Specials, A Depleted State Treasury. Dis Motses, lowa, Feb, Special Tele- gram. |—It is news to a great many people that Towa has a floating defieit of nearly a million dollars, whieh now rises like a ghost Dbefore the general assembly whenever extia appropriations are provosed. Up till quite recently it has been the boast of the state that it did not owe a dollar. But the general assembly had poor mathematicians, and in computing the probable receipts and expendi- tures for the last two years they made the former too large and the latter too small, con- sequently they made annual appropriations for a million dollars more than the current income, and the state treasurer Las been ob- liged to endorse the auditor’s warrants and let them go on interest. At the close of the last fiscal year, June 30, 1885, the outstandi varrants of the state amounted to 86, . The cash on handt amounted to $6,1 .04, leaving u net deficit of $618,2i2.50. At the close of busi- ness hours last Saturday night the outs ing warrants amounted to $9 cash on hand was $ present indebtedness of ‘N.)l 000,30, a pretty good sized sum for lowa to be carry- ing, many of the legislators think, and so they propose that it shall be paid off from the general revenue during the next two years, before any new enterprises are underaken. There is no complaint that the deficit w: caused by extravavant appropriations. for it has gone largely for new buildings and other improvements in the various e institu- tions. But there is much criticism that the last general assembly should make such large appropriations without providing means for meeting them. The treasurer of state says that with economy and prudence, making ample provision for the usual needs of |hc state, and moderate allowances for repairs to state institutions, the \\]l()lu d\uut can wiped out in the mext two year: his seems to be the poliey of the legislature, and retrench- ment and economy are hurled at every prop- osition for an unusual or extraordinary ap- propriation. lowa proposes to get out of debt by the shortest road, and as the consti- tution forbids the funding of any debt over 5,000, the only way to do it is to pay the deficit from the current revenues In the house to-day a bill was introduced making it unlawful to paste the names of candidates on the election tickets of an op- posing party. In the senate a bill was introduced to provide for local or county boards of arbitra- tion to settle disputes between employers and employes. It provides that a district judge may, on applieation, appoint a board ‘of four, wno may choose a fifth, if necessary, and their findings shall be entercd on the court records with legal force. It is substan- tially what is known as the Ohio law on this subject. The senate concurred in the house resolu- tion memorializing congress to favor the Hennepin canal. There was a long and heated debate in the senate over Mr. Sutton's bill to grant a change of venue on application of a district attorney or the attorney general. The judiciary committee reported that it be in- poned. Mr. Sutton thereupon . which was opposed by Mr. Bolter (dem.) and Mr. Clark (rep.) A motion to postpone indefinitely was carried with only one dissenting vote. Wifely Cruelty Claimsd.

Lln.uge; only ‘ Senator Sutton thereupon asked for the reasons for this recommendation. The chair- man of the judi ¥ committee, Senator Tobinson, said it proposed to do away with one of the fundamental rights which every man claimed, the right when accused to be tried by a jury of his vicinity. Senator Sutton forthwith launched into an exeiting argument for his bill, and the friends of Magna Charta put the old instru- ment on trial. Sutton maintained that whereas, he alleged was the case in sixtys six cities and towns of the state, the pro- hibitory law was openly disregarded and violated, and it was a shome that law- breakers could not be counvieted of their crimes, that the state should in order to vin- dicate itself be allowed to transfer the cases to communitics where a fair jury could be obtained. e said that some of the prohibitionists were so full of zeal that they screamed lustily from the house tops for the enforces ment of prohibition, but when effectual means were proposed they drew back and refused to hold of them. He said hie was. sick and tired of so much talk that seemed to be only for political effcet. Sentimental talk about enforcement was very pretty, but itdid not go far if it stopped with talk. “There were cities defying the law and noth- ing was being done about it. 1f the temper- ance people were really sincere in their de- mand for enforcing the law, they would adopt some sueh measure as his bill proposed. Senator Clark of Page, one of the strongest prohibition republicans in the state, opposed the bill, claiming that it would work in- justice in many cases, If it had been con- fined to violators of the prohibitory law, he thought he would have favored it, but when the natural rights of ens to be tried by a jury of their peers of the vieinity, he thought that was going too far. Senator Bolter spoke for the demoerats, violent attack upon the bill, call- nfamous and worthy only of a despotic government. He warmed up an old stump speech harange against prohibis tion, and closed by saying that when the measure to which-this bill. was. enly an ad- junct came up for discussion, he should make a set speech. His attack upon prohibition called up Mr. Clark, who is the Patrick Henry of the sen- ate. He poured out a torrent of eloquent words in defense of the non-partisan idea of temperance. He said that the democratic party was responsible for bringing it into Towa politics, for the fi prohibitory law te was passed by a If, as the senator on had said, the prohibitory law created crime, then every law the statute Dooks had created i d of being ordained to suppress plied to Sutton’s statement that a change of venue was the last resort in law; defending the communities by saying that injunction proceedings were always open, and deprived no innocent man of his per- sonal rights, Sutton made a vehement reply and said that though he had often heard the demo- eratic ery about “personal hberty,” this was the i time in his life he had heard it from a prohibitionist republican. He was not surprised to hear such talk from Senator Bolter, for the democratic party had made it its elief business to op- pose prohibition and hinder its enforc ment. A saloon victory had always been claimed as a democratic victory, but he conldn’t understand how republicans should take the position they were in. 5o the debate waged for i two hours, but Senator Sutton’s argiinents failed to cone vinee, for his bill was indefinitely postponed with only one dissenting vote. - - Real Estate Transfers.
