2 THE O AHA DAILY BEE THEY PLEASED THE PEOPLE. lowa Eatisfled With Its Railroad Commission's Work. ROADS THREATEN TO APPEAL. The State Position on the Presidential Question—Gresham Has the Strongest Following ~Chap- ter on Shyster Lawyers, The Schedule of Freight Rates, Drs Moises, Ta,, June 17.—[Special to Tiig Bee.]—The board of railroad commis sioners has completed the schedule of freight rates on local snipments, as required by the railroad law passed last winter, The publication of these rates has thrown con- sternation in the railroad camp and called forth & vigorous protest from the general managers, The commissioners have taken a8 the basis of their schedule thoe rates fixed by the maximum tariff bill, which passed the house of represcutatives and was killed by the refusal of the senate to take it up for consideration. The result is a uniform re- duetion of nearly one-third on local charges ‘between every point in the state. The rail- roads claim that only one-fifth of their Iowa business is local, and if this is true, the re- duction means a saving to the people of Towa n freight charges of over a million dollars annually. As the railroads now make a net profit of over §13,000,000 each year, it will be difficult to show how this reduction is going to bankrupt the roads, as they claim, At any rate, tho people are in earnest in this matter and the railroads had tter take their medicine quietly and yield gracofully to the inevitable. They threaten to appeal to the courts, but as the law provides that the rate fixed by the com- missioners shall be prima facie evidence of a reasonable charge, and throws the burden of proof upon the railroads to cstablish the con- trary, the roads hardly dare run the risk of paying the fines that would c ortainly be as- az-nlmrn;zuinnt them should they fail in the end to win their case. In the timo of the old granger law, when there was considerablo doubt as to the constitutional right of a state to regulate railroad charges, the people of this state were very lenient, and actually passed an amnesty act in 1878, relieving the railroads from the consequences of refusing 10 obey the law until its constitutionality was affirmed by the supreme court. As the status of railroad legislation is now well set- tled, the roads need not expect any fore- beurance on the part of the people, and should they be foolish enough to defy the commission and lay themselves liable to the heavy fines imposed by the law, they may expect to pay the uttermost farthing. “There is no doubt_that the action by the commission has made its members immensely popular with the people. At present it looks a8 if they would all three be nominated by seetive parties without opposition. Peter A, Dey, of lowa City, the democratic member, who has all ; een regarded as @ firm friend of the roads, has surprised every one by his recent course approving the #chedule. Messrs, Smith and mpbell, the rclnubliunu members, are in perfect accord on his quéstion, and Mr. Dey, as arepresenta- tive of the democrats had an opportunity by antagonizing the schedule to make a bid for railroad support for the democratic ticket, but failed to_improve it. Chairman Hunter of the central committee, and other demo- cratic leaders, like Senator Balter of Harri- son, Dodge of Des Moines, and Knight of Dubuque, would be giad to make a dicker of this kind with the ra uls on the sly, but it is very doubtful if o sl heme can be made to work succ The old green. back contingent to the demo- crats bag and baggage, uml they will not consent to any corporation combine to aid Cleveland. A few timid party papers are prophesying that the railroads will join hands with the democrats and give the state to Cloeveland, but those papers are taking counscl of their fears and are scared at a shadow. The democratic party in this state is justas strongly committed to railroad legislation as the ropublican, if not even more 5o, and any movement of this kind would raise a howl among the graugers and old time greenback- ers that the leaders of the party could not quiet, and enthuse new life into the green- back party. THE NATIONAL CONVENTION. The republican party leaders in question ubly caught the peoplé napping last spring ‘when the state convention was held, an rosult the corporations will get the greater part of Jowa's vote in the Chicago conven- tion. Very fow Iowa people have any hope of securing the nomination of Allison, and ‘while state pride will hold them to the sup- port of their favorite son as long as he has any show of success, we cannot hope to ob- tain more than a second choice. With the common people that choice is Judge Gresham, but with the politic- dans and perhaps a majority of the delegates 1t is anybody else, Harri- son or Alger or even Depew will be preferred by a large fraction of the delegates to Gresham. The east would consent to accept Allison, but the German element in Wiscon- #in, Illinois, Ohio and other close states are up in arws against bim on account of the at- El.udc of this state on the question ot prohi- ition, and would knife him at the polls, ‘he prohibition states will not be allowed to mame the candidate if the interests—and especially the votes—of the foreign born voters are consulted. Depew is by all odds the weakest candidate that could be named for this state. With him on a high tariff platform, nothing could prevent Iowa from swinging into line with the democratic col- umn to the tune of 000 ma) The members of the rs' . alliance swould repudiate him t to a man, and there would be a hea A the workingmen in the towns and cities, and mmong the shippers, It is to be hoped that the gnod sense of the conveution will avert this calawivy. SHYSTER LAWYERS. ‘The bar of Des Moines is making an effort fo weed out some of its disreputable mem- bers, ¥or years this city has been cursed by a number of alleged lawyers who have been making their living by questionablo {rmluu and who finally became so bold in heir methods that the entire bar was fast losing the respect of the people. Judge Given finally took the bull by the horns and directed a committee to prepare articl looking to the disbarment of a memb: named Sickmon. Hon, F. . Lehmann prosecuted the case on bebalf of the bar, and the. result was the suspension of the party named from tice for the “Space of two There are others who will have to go sc they do not tako the hint and depart on their own accord or else let up on their dis- weputable practices . TUE ANTI-GRESHAM PAVERS in this stato were not at all pleased with the result of the mock national convention rocently held by the students of Drake uni- wyersity in this city, The claims of all the leading candidatey were ably presentod by enthusiastio chumpions, and everybody ex- pectod that Allison would carry off the prize, othing, however, could withstand the Gresham wave, which took the convention by storm and swept every other ca Rus feet. 'Allison was then named for vice resident as a balm for wounded state pride. Such straws show the seutiment of the com- mon people, und especiglly of the young voters, REx.0 R Prospoecting for Ooal.

Des Moixes, Ia, June 17.—[Special ¢ Tus Bes]—A reminiscene of the late democratic convention at St Louis cofnes floating in through Hon. J. S. Tam, of Stuart, who was one of the delegates. He says that Towa came near furnishing the democratic candidate for the vice presidency in the person of Hon, W. H. M.

A friendly foeling was soon devoloped in the Kentucky de and Colonel Tam believes that™ if Thurman had not been nominated on the first ballot the convertion would have turned to Pusey So Towa democrats will probably tell with pride for years afterward how near they came to the vice presidency, Following the custom of Towa bourbons who have been mentioned in connection with any office, it will now be in order to address the Counc Bluffs statesman hercafter as ““Vice Pres dent Pusey.” R —— OUR BUILDING SEEMS SURE. Conferces Will Report Favorable on it Within a Week. WasniNatoy Bureav mire Ovana Bee, } 513 FourrrexTn STREET, WasmiNgTox, D. C., June 17. Tt is likely that the conferces on the Omaha postoffice building will submit their report to the senate and house early week after next. As stated some days ago in Tie Ber dispatches, the report will be unani- mons, and there is no doubt about its accept- ance by both houses, The only real opposi- tion there was to the senate bill in the house came from Chairman Dibble, of the commit- tee on public buildings and grounds, and he has been thoroughly converted by Senators Spooner and Vest. Mr. Dibble accepts the senate bill and $1,200,000 for Omaba grace- fully. Inasmuch as the conferee report is priviloged matter 1t can be acted upon as 800N a8 it is received in ‘either house. A re- port from a conference committee is mad duplicate and is sent to both houses simul< ancously. There now seems but little doubt that the Omaha public building bill will be- came a law by the first of July. The presi- dent, it is believed, would be inclined to veto this bill from principles of general cuss- cdness if it were not for the fact that Kan- sas City, which is democratic to the core, and Milwaukee, which is politically doubt- ful, have bills making appropriations of nearly the same amount and are based upon the same grounds as the Omaha bill. This fact makes the Omaha measure about as se- cure as it could be made.

Clarke did excellent work until the sixth inning, when it looked as though the finish would be close and excit- ing, but his support went to picces after that and the little pitcher became completely dis- couraged and began to toss the ball over the plate, allowing the Minneapolis players to slug the sphere to their heart's content. Klopf, who has been laid up for some time with a latne arm, signalized his return by pitching a fair game.

The Carnegio Party Spends Sunday in a Desolate Town. New Yorx, June 17.—[Special Telegram to Tug Bee.]—The World's dispatch from North Allerton says: *Carnegie this morn- ing introduced a Yorkshire reporter to Blaine as ‘the gentlemen who could be presi- dent of the United States whenever hemight wish, The reporter got quite a shock of magnetism, and his paper, the Post, devotes half a column of its space this evening to a description of Blaine's distinguished appear- ance. The party spent Sunday in the most desolate town in all England, but are tired enough of traveling to enjoy the stoppage. The past week has been one of unmixed pleasure to each and every member of the party, and now with the journey almost half finished, the regret is expressed on every side that Cluny castle is drawing so near and that Gr eat Britain is such a small place, after all, Blaine is still y reticent on the movement which Ame an cabl ALLS. indicate has in view his nomination. While no word to that effect came frow Blaine, or even from Carnegie, I have nov the slightest doubt that if nominated Mr., Blaine would accept.” —— UNTAINTED BLOOD, A New York Phy an Adds Another Denial of the Ridiculous Sto; June 17— Telogri Dr. Charles } won, an eminent physician of this place, was born in Kurope and prosecuted his studies there. He has been frequently brought into contact with the imperial family of Germany and says the iusinnations concerning an hereditary taiut in the Hohenzollern blood are outrageous. He said: *I have pever secn a more magnificent race and the state- ment that a loathsomo disease tainted their blood I huve every reuson to know is abso- lutely false, It 1s said that the present em- peror’s shriveled arm is the result of this tamt and that the monarchy also suffers from wbeesses in the interior of the ears, There i no truth in either remark.

St. Paul 11, Kansas City 0. St. Paur, June 17.—|[Special Telegram to Tur: Bee.]—Young Anderson, the St. Paul pitcher, performed the remarkable feat to-day of shutting out the Kunsas City Blues without the shadow of a safe hit. But four of the Kansas City players reachod first buse, two on balls and two by being hit with a pitched ball, and but one got as far as sccond. St Paul’s part of the fielding was very nearly all done by the infield, but three bulls being hit to the outfield and they were easy flies. St. Paul took rather kindly to Swartzel's delivery, and he was hit hard at times, especially in the fifth aud ninth innings, His support was somew hat ragged, however, and he was horribly wild. Keynolds started in to catch for Kansas City but in attempting to stop a wild pitelied ball in the fifth inning the little finger of his right hand was broken and he was superceded by Wells. Inthe ninth nning Hassamaer and Ardner collided aud the former was quite badly hurt but vluckily finished the game.

A couple of robins recently came to an amicable understanding, and built a nest in the fork of a low bough on a pine tree growing near the railrond station at Fair View, J., says the New York Sun. It was almost com- pleted on Sunday, and, going to thei new home with the last few twigs requi- site rather for an ownate finishing than anything else, the birds were mor- tified io find a large, green, ugly toad filling the nest and 'hopping over the edges. Whethera toad can climb a tree or not is an unsettled question, and one which did not :m to interest the birds, He w: there, and that was quite enough for them Several hours wore passed in ! ng 10 eject him, the birds working'ina systematic manner, and by using their combined forces at one strenu-, side of the nest, endeavoring tQ heave the intruder out at the othe They euot strong enough, however, and ise the nml l.o be £ross body. heaving of T that he was not dead, n v nor pushing seemed to have the eflect upon him, Weary and discour- aged the robins at last flew to un adja- cont bush, and, apparently, discussed the situation, ‘When they returned to the attack ten minutes later they had perfected a p! that made short work nlllhv toad.
