2 10WA LEGISLATIVE REVIEW. Governor Larrabec's Messagoe the Sensation of the Week. RAILROADS SAT DOWN UPON HARD A General Glance at the Senatorial Contest Shows the Utter Shals lowness of the Heps burn Boom. Governor Larrabee's Message. Des Moixes, Ta, Jan. 14.—[Special Cor- respondence of the I The sensation of the week in legislative circles is the position the governor has taken on the railroad ques- tion. For ecighteen years prior to being elected governor he reprosented Fayette county in the stato senate. He was a mem- ber of that body when the old granger law was enacted, and vigorously opposed its pas- sage. He also worked ardently for its re- peal in 1878, Ever since he has been known as a firm and uncompromising friend of the railways and was materially assisted by them in obtaining the nomination over Lieutenant Governor Hull two years agzo. The first tus. sle with the corporations in which the gov- ernor was engaged was onlya trifling matter, but it served as an entiving wedge. In com- paring the accounts of the asylum for fesble minded at Gleenwood and of the institution for the deaf and dumb at Council Bluffs the governor discovered that the Chicago Burlington & Quincy rail- road was charging the state $1.50 per ton for coul from the Cleveland mines to Glenwood, a distance of 135 miles, and only $1.25 per ton from the same mines to Council Bluffs, a distance of 157 miles. This, the governor held, was a plain violation of the statute which prohibited charging more for a short haul than for plong one, and he alled the atteution of the officials of the “Q" t0 the matter and requested that it be cor- rected. He expected, of course, that the rate to Glenwood would be reduced to correspond with the rate to the Blufis, but, to bis utter astonishment, the Q" oficials replied in a gurly manner and equalized the charges—not by reducing the rute to Glenwood, as the governor expected—but by increasing the rate 10 Council Bluffs, But the governor was not to be trified with, He at once called the at- tention of the railroad commissioners to the matter and presented the case for the state in person. He was vigorously opposed by Tom {'nlh-r, the manager of the “Q,” and in the course'of the discussion, being nettled at Pot- tor's apparent ingratitudg for past services, he told sowe ' very plain truths about railroad management in general and the “Q" in =particular. The result of the contest was a victory for thngn\' nor, the commissioners reducing the o on coal to Glenwood to $1.45 per ton. Sinco. that timo the governor has been on “gpeaking terms” only with the managers of the leading railroads, and the whole pow the corporations was uscd in the late election to defeat him and_elect Anderson, the des cratic nomince, who for many y has been an attorney for the Rock Island. This fact was kept quiet during the campaign by the corporation organs, but the result of the elec- tion 1 thut, notwithstanding the power- ful support of the Farmers' alliance and Anti-Monopoly league, Governor Larrabee ran behind his ticket in many places, and was only eleeted by less than two thousand ma- jority over the combined opposition, when thirty or forty thousand was confidently ex- pected. Inflicnved by these causes and the growing sentiment among the people in favor of more stringent ilroad regulation, the governor turns a complete somersault on this question and comes out squarely in favor of the most extreme legislation demanded by the Anti-Monopoly league and the Farmers’ alliance. In his message he comes out strongly in favor of u 2 cent pas senger rate and declares that the free pass system should be torn out, root and branch. He also eulogizes the old granger law,which he helped to repeal,and de- clares that with some modifications it should be re-enated by the present legislature. He also makes the novel suggestion that railroads should be declared public highways, and their officers sworn to support the constitu- tion of the United States. In his inaugural address Saturday he went still further and asserted that railroad rates are far too high in lowa and bear no relation to the costof the service rendered, and that railroad inanagers were carrying on a sys brigandage in Jowa not unlike t by ancient Grecian pirates. There was o general mur- mur of dissent among a few corporation lob- Dyists, but the great body of both houses, as 45 of those in attendance at the inaug- ural, indorsed the governor's position on this question. TIE SEN ATORSHIP, The great Hepburn boom for senator com- pletely flattened out. Notwithstanding the strentious efforts made by the Register and a strong lobby of railroad’ lawyers, he at no time during the cauvas developed any posi- tive strength, The opposition to Senator Wilson was still more hostile to Hepburn, and under no circum- o8 would they have supported him, He rarded by ma as the John M. Thurs- 1on of Jowa politics, and, though un able his railroad {5 50 objcctionable that no one in sympathy with the present spirit of the i ople will support Lim. - Senator Wilson, whose record on the railroad ques- tion is somewhat checkered, owes his election to the fuct that the antiameriopolists feared to undertake too much, One of the surprising things connected with the organization of the legislature was the failure of the radical prohibitionists to draw the party line on prohibition, An effort made to exclude Cummins of Polk, who was elected on the as an anti-prohibitionis! though pre ng to be n republican, but it failed ignominously, the members refusing to muke prohibition wlone the test of party fealty. SMALL GOSSIP, Senator Young, of Cass, has already intro- duced a bill to reduce passenger fare to cents per mile, and compel railroads to sell 1,000 mile tickets for 315, Senator Sweency, who is chairman of the railroad committec, has introduced a bill sup- plementary to the inter-state commeree act, wohibiting the charging of more for a long hau! than a short one. Kven the senators alled all anti-monopolists cranks a few 120 ure now tulking of needed railroad ation, 1t is very doubtful if any considerable num- ber of republican sen: rs will antagonize the governor in the decided stand he has taken on the railroad question, though the will be urged to do %0 by a number of strong and able papers and not a few politicians. » capital city of Towa were mpressed by the visit of Gov- ) The remarks of the ROVErnor it the ou given by the houso of representatives were well received and his allusion to the heroism displayed by Towa soldiors in the field was loudly upplauded Among the Nebraska visitors present were noticed the notorious Brad Slaughter, who spent some time in the company of Clerk Kalp, of the house.

I was sitting smoking when the crash came. It startled me so much that for a time I was almost 8] bound. When I gotout on the track I saw one engine piled on the other, and four cars of the freight train completely wrecked. 1 think both engincers deserve credit for their efforts to avert the accident.”” Elected President. CiiicAo, Jan. 15, —Robert Swallow, one of the most ultra socialists in the city, was to-day elected president of the trades assembly which has been regarded us the only general labor organization not dominated by ana chists or socialists. Swallow's oppanent was Mark S. Crawford, who has served as presi- dent several terms. The vote was 100 10 Sl - AMUSEMENTS, An Excellent Presentation of “Unser Doctor” Last Night. Last night Baureis & Puls’ German com- edy company appeared at Boyd's in “Unser Doctor,” an intercsting melo drama by M s, Treptow and Hermann, The size of the audicnce, considering the extreme cold of the evening, was an assurance to the man- agement that its efforts to keep alive and give excellent representation tothe German drama in this city are warmly appreciated. The play in the {mmls of indifferent actors would have been difiicult to si t through, not because of any glaring defects in its con- struction, but because of its great length. It was not until 11:30 o’clock that. the lust drop fell, and up to that time the audience remained almost unbroken. They were kept in almost constant laughter, the exception being when the grief of the father, over tho wayward deceit of his son, happily, however, concealed from the mother, almost led to tears. Between these two conflicting emo- tions there was & _alternation, giying excel- lent opportunity for the display of comedy and serious work. Mr. and Mrs.Bauriers were the stars of the ev the burden of the playing being carried by them. Their acting was admirable and they were deservedly ap- preciated. 1 had a rather grace- less cf ‘tor, but he played it well with at deal of dash and vivacity. Miss Roem ve additional proof of adaptability for comedy and was wtly appreciated.” Mr. Kraft, as the of- fending son, played with care and intelli- gence, doing some of the best work that has been credited to him since his arrival here. Mr. Koch and Mr. Lindemann, as dancing master and assistant, aided a great deal in the comedy parts, not less with their fine makeups than with their actin, Mr. Puls made one of the greatest hits of the evening in Hummel. Mrs, Puls-Ahl supplied the comedy feature of the last act as an appren- tice and her work provoked hearty applause. Mrs. Lindemann played with her usual care, making Roeschen an entertaining character, Barring a few evidences of forgetfniness of lines, there was nothiug to injure thn per- formance. Inspector Duncan's Suggestions. To the Editor of the Ber: Having received instructions from the board of health to examine all the plumbing in the bity; T would like to make a few suggestions: Let every one sce if they can not themsclves detect anything wrong. Look at top of ventilation pipe where it comes out of roof and see if it is free from ice and snow; examine all traps and see that there is a scparate pipo extend- ing from the top of trap to the voof; while doing this notice if any fixtures are leaky and that all safe wastes are open and that they do not discharge into soil ppe direct. examine the waste pipe from ice sce that they do not conneet with t, is not Iylup oAt barrels are often emptied, and nine-tenths of the com- pluints of sewer gas will ‘I'he remaining one-tenth p ¢ leave no- tice at the oftice of the inspector of plumbing, who will cheerfully respond to all calls and carefully examine any work that comes un- der his supervision. It might be well to add that most of the faulty plumbing is due to the fact that too wany people want a $500 job done for $200. Respectiully, Ronr. D. DUNCAN, Inspector of Plumbing. s s LETTER LIST.

I speak merely of the npeo- ple I met and who were extremely kind and considerate to me. The ats that I was introduced to are the kind that indulge in wholesame outdoor sports, and there is no pompous pre- ten superiority about them.

San I'rancisco Exami The last heavy picee of the Lick telescope mount- ing was raised and put in place last Saturday. Unusal pains were taken to provent an accident, as a loss of £50,000 would have been entailed by the failing of the picee. It was hoped a short time sineo that the work would be so far advanced as to try the big lens this evening., but it will be out of the question to make the test before n woek. The third lens has arrived safely and fits the cell exactly. Alvan Clark, who accompanied the lens, made some tests of the big lens, and feels assured that very little grind- ing will be necossary. Nothing could be done until the tube was put up and star tests made and photographs taken. The observatory will inall probabilite be completed and turned over to the regents of the university by the last of February or the first of March.
