The Republicans of Iuwn Advocate a Con- gressional Reapportionment, THEIR WAY WOULD FAVOR THEM. ihe Hayes Impeachment <A Bill Ready to Report to Create a State Insnrance Department — The Old-Time Law Makers. The £ DEs Moty gram. lative circles of reapportioning the congres- sional districts of the state so as to gain three or four republican congressmen, on of north- ern Towa sinee 158 would alone justify and the political reason for im- provin itical opportunity adds force to the proposition. The democrats are strongly opposing any change, but the precedent of their party in several states where they had the power is quoted against them and stimu- Iates the republicans to look after republic interests, now that they have a chance, Ac- cording to the vote for governor last fall, the democrats carried six of the cleven congres- slonal districts of the state with the 1ollow- First distriet, 582; Second 51, Third distric Fifth dis- Sixth district, 28 district, republicans carried five districts following majoriti uth dis Seven th district, ghth dis- nth distriet, Eleventh of this disposition ot repre- sentatives is the fact that the republican districts have been increasing in population far beyond the ratio in democratic distriets, with nothing to show for it since 15%0. The total increase in the state's population has been about 145,000, the bulk of whichh to the Tenth and Eleventh dist overwhelmingly republican, the latter add- ing about 8 0,000 population in that time, g ing now over 200000, The Fourth distri on the contrary, has lost about 8,0 00 popula tion in the same time, while the Third has stood about still, so it is proposed that the Third and Fourth take care of some of the surplus population of the Tenth and Eleventh, The Second district, which includes the river counties in the central eastern portion of the state, is unalterably demo- cratic by several thousand majority, so it is proposed to take Johnson county, with its 1,000 democratic majority, from the Fifth: dis- triet and put it with the Second. Jones county, which hasa republican majority of 400 or 500, could be taken trom the Second and put in the Fifth, thus evening up the number of counties and making the Fifth district reliably republican. Polk county, in whicn situated Des Moines, hasa republican ma- jority of 1,500. This could be turned over to the Sixtl: district and make that republican, and retire Gen. Weaver to private life. Boone and Storey are strongly republican and could be taken from the Tenth and be given to the Seventh. Guthrie from the Seventh and Greene from the Eleventh could both be spared from republican strongholds and be putin the Ninth, assuring a republi- can majority in that district, while Crawford county, which is a democratio incubus on the Ninth district,could be transferred to the big Eleventh where its would nevar bo felt, ges would make nine pubiiean districts céttain, ong democratic district certain, and leave one (the First) in doubt. It looks very much as if the changes would be made An open letter was presented to the house of representatives to-day, signed by John Mahan and B. Hershey of Muscatine, thegen- tlemen who have charge of the prosecution of the Hayes impeachment trial. They re- view in it the minority report of the judici- ary committee adverse to further investiga- tion. They say that “the attempt by the framers of the reportto make the prosecu- tion of Judge Hayes one of a political nature is equally unfair and unjust. Whatever truth thereisin it lies on the side of the judge and his friends, who seek by raising this false ery to rally his political friends to his sup port, and thus prevent his impeachment. They reply to each objection of the minority report, and conclude by asking for a full, fair and impartialinvestigation of the charges against Judge Hayes. The insurance committees of the two houses met in joint session this morning and agreed to report a bill for an insurance department as a substitute for all those pre- sented. It provides for the establishment of o distinet department charged with the ex- ecution of laws in relation to insurance and banking. The commissioner to be appointed by the governor and confirmed by the senate must be well versed in Insurance and bank- ing, but have no financial interest in either; shall act as actuary, receive a salary of $2,500 annually, and give bonds of $10,000; shall have his oflice in the cap- itol, and fin general fare as any other state officer; shall appoint his own deputy at a salary of 31,800, and under $5,000 bonds; employ what other felerks are neces- sary; pay all fees to the state treasurer; shall compile and issue in pamphlet form all the laws applying to insurance and banking, and recommended improvements, No domestic insurance company shali do business until by examination it is found to have complied with the laws of the state and paid 825 for a certificate. Examinations are to be made at the discretion of the commissioner sor at the request of an insuranee company or five stockholders or creditors, and the examiner receive only traveling expenses and hotel bills. He shall in like manner, whenever he deoms it necessary for the protection of policy-holders in this state, visit and examine companies doing business therein. He may employ such assistants as may be necessary, and all the expense shall be borne by the company examined. If any company refuse to submit to examination, it shall be disbarred from doing business in this state. He may require agents of foreign companles to answer reasonable questions at any time, debar for refusal and fine up to $500 for continuing to act, If he thinks a domestic company unsound he shall apply to the courts for an injunction, and a re- celver y be appointed and the affairs of the company wound up. 1f a foreign or do- mestic company has not complied with the law he way secure an injunction in sowme manner, He inherits all the powers and duties of the state auditor, relative to insur- ance and banking. ‘The house to-day passed the bill regulating the practice of medicine, by requiring that all physicians must have a diploma from some reputable medical college or else pass ex- amimation before the state board of examin- ers.

The roll of the general assemblies from the territorial days down to 1506 was called, and 150 veter ansresponded to the call, The venerable Hawkins Taylor, who represented Lee county in the first territorial legislature in 1836, came all the way from Washington to | be present, and responded to the roll. Every one of the eight territorial legislatures but the second is represented, and all of the first eleven general asscimblies of the state have members liere, Judge Noble of Clayton county, who pre- sided, is the seniorspeaker of the house now a. He filled that position for the Fifth assembly, and he is still a hale orous man now at the Twenty-first. Some of the veterans present come from Colorado, Dakot sas, Minnesota and all parts of Towa. The old lawmakers are the heroes of the day, and they seem very proud of their distinetion, After perfecting the organization they went to the eapitol, and the former members of the house marehed into the present house, and the former members of the senate went into the senate, After half an hour they ex- changed places and were given the floor themsclves, Governor Hull, who was presid- ing over the senate, called Judge Noble to the chair, and the modern senators gave up their seats to the old boys who then held forth. Inter- osting speeches were made by Judge Mur- dock of the eighth territorial legislature, and other early t In the house, Speaker Head sovernor Gue to a seat beside him, and the hour was given up to the veterans, E or Wright made an eloquent address of welcome, and he was followed by ex-Congressman Pusey of Coun- cil Bluffs, Hon.

This evening the state house was illuminated from dome to base- ment in honor of the visitors, and Governor Larrabee, assisted by the state ofticers, gave them a reception, The festivities will be continued to-morr TOoW. FIELD AND FARM Farmers' Institutes, Chioago Tribune: The Illinois state ard of agricultural proposes holding a series of farmers’ institutes during the present winter. Soofar as is possible it is wished to have one in each congressional district. At thisdate three have been arranged for—ohe at Princeton, just con- cluded; at Mattoon, Murch 4-5; at Nash- ville, March 10115 The university of Illinois is hearfily co-operating in this matter, and will probably be represented at each institute by the regent or one or more members of the faculty. Thnrn can he o doubt of 43 injerest d valye of sich ‘meetings when well ('r)nduc , and. it is hoped all may bo largely attended. Many would be glad to see the work much extended; to know that in addition to these leading insti- tutes—for which somewhat olaborate preparations are made, and at which spoa will be present from distant parts of the state—there were to be held county or township meetings of some- what singular character, Prof. Morrow, ampaign univers has at- v such that were of much value Some cftort is required on the part of the or individuals, but he doubts if \gricultural socioties or granges can do more useful work with equally small oxpenditures of money or labor. Some of the very best meetings of the kind he has attended have been held in little villages, and where not only nearly all in attendance, but nearly all who tQok prominent part in the proceedings for the one or two days, lived within ten miles, and where the total direct cost was not $15. It is his belief that such in- stitutes may be of very great help in the work of agricultura ucation. as The Cow's Opportunity. St. Louis Republican: The suggestion of an internal revenue tax on_ oleomarg- arine and bogus butter, originating in the Republican, was fully discussed by the American ultaral association now in session in New York city, Asa result this influential body will unite in a petition to congress to pass a law ]])n\r‘ ing the control, manufacture and sale of imitation_butter in the hands of the United States internal revenue com- to placing a tax L of the articlo sold, the tax than 10 cents a pound. Nothing can be plainer than that the passage of such a law will enable the American cow to compete on at least equal terms with N. K. Fairbanks of Chicago and other unnatural butter pro- ducers, who now have her at a _complete dis:ldvun(:lgu. It is also in that a te action of the states is not ate to check the evils of butter imitation and adulteration, When Missouri _prolubits it, Illinois manu- factures in greater .pmnmuw and, being able to sell its adulterations cheaper than the genuine article can be sold in Mis- souri, controls trade in this particular line and through it in others, It happens on this account that merchants and man- uh turers, thoukh oppo to bogus but- abstract, find themselyes ready t0 advocato its salo unde present con- ditions, because their interests are dam- aged hy the incquality of the laws on the nllb{fl,l. in the different states.
