work that will not come in competition with the honest laborer and mechanic. In view of the fact that the city does not hav: the means for the erection of a work- house, steps should be taken for a concert of action be- tween city and county authorities, The county commissioners have ample power under existing laws to establish and maintain workhouses. The county has the necessary grounds near the county hospital, and can if it is desir- ible erect temporary buildings that will answer the purpose until permanent quarters can be had. THE site selected for the new driving park and fair grounds is unequalled for the purposciin the county. Thoughnot as convenient as the old location, the prom- ised railroad and strect railway exten- sions will make it easily ssible, FFRIENDS of our public schools should bestir themselves to secure men of abil- ity and integrity to manage the im- portant interests of the district.

Siowr City Jowr nal, The Journal is prepared to give heed to the cry of itk Oxana Bie that the republican party in Nebraska “is on the eve of u great erisis.” The question is s to whether, as the Journal undertook to say the other day, the party is to be controlled by the anti-mo- spoly sentiment of the state. Tue Bip says that fully 40,000 vepublicans envolled in the Farmers' alliance are awaiting “an assurance from republicans in sympathy with theirde mands that a chance will be given them by 1« carly convention to redeom the state from railroad rule by the nomination of candidates of their own choice, and the adoption of a platform that expresses in - positive and un quivocal language the popular wish and will.” Well, the republican party of Nebraska must get in line with the producers of the state, or getout. The Journal believes that. And it ieves, also, that if the republican purty in Nebraska can have a ch in an early con vention, the party will be put in line, it will not only free itsolf-of corporate control, but it will make a ticket and_write a platform that shall answer as to its good faith with the people. - A Protest of Respectability.

Alderman M. H. King of Des Moines, whe has the distinctiou of being one of the several city councilmen of Toww's capital who Im\a/ | just been indicted for misconductand boodloer ism, was found at the Hotel Casey last even ing. He is a wealthy railroad contractor, an old acquaintance of Mayor Cushing and a very genfal, well posted gentleman of some two score and ten years. “Yes," said he, “I'm one of the chnps who havo been indicted, though they havi't caught me yet,” and the remark was supplo. mented with a smile of very ample propor tions, “You see,” continued Mr. King, was in Chicago when the indictments woera returned and have been so busy that | couldn't go home to Des Moincs und give myself up. As soon, however, as T saw in the papers that 1 had been in- dicted 1 telographed my attorney in Des Moines to arrange my boud. Whether or not he hias dono 8o I cannot One thing is sure, though, 1 have important business in Omaha thut will postpone my returning to Des Motues for several days longer. When [ can, I certainly shall go there and face tho music, though Idou't think the bund will play very uncomfortably loud for mi. I ‘think the majority of the peo- ple in Des Moines are with us unfortunates in this thing and wou't insist that we bo pressed oo hard. “Iiere is no doubt, T guess, but that so far as the law is concerned some of those who are in this boat with me have acted outside of the proscribed course. What should have been—and that, too, a long time ago—was for the members of our council to have gotten to gether and signed & paper to the effect that they couldn't live on the palt sum paid to councilmen. Had they done this I don’t think there would havo been any doubt at all but that the peoplo vould have paid us much more, or whatever was reasouable, “When I got the money I did I took paiis to ask the city auditor if he was sure that [ was entitled to it, and he replicd emphatically in the afirmative. After that most any man would have done just as I did—go ahead und ke it. “I have been connected with tho Des Moines council for about twenty years and it is the first timo that anybody has taken oc- casion to suy anything like this against me. As a member of the board of public worlks at Des Moines T have handled and disposed of hundreds of thousands of dollars and have never got 5o much as the price of a cigar out of it.”! Mr. King was then asked how the recent decision of the United States supreme court regarding liquor in packages would affect tho chances for a repeal of the prohibitory amend- ment in Towa. “I think,” said he, “that it will result in Leeping the amendment in force—indeed I don’t think there's much 1f any doubt about it at all.” 3 I will also tell you,” said the councilman, “that if the Towa republicans go back on pro- hibition at their forthcoming state conven- tion there's going to be a third party in tho field this fall, and in my opinion it is mighty hard to foresee which of the old parties will suffer most in that event. Guarded His Dead Master. A large portion of southeastern M souri—some six or seven counties—is s yet thinly settled, and thousands upo thousands of acres of the low lands of that section aro covered with dens forests that have never been touched hy man, writes a Jackson, Mo., correspon ent.of Our Dumb Animads. On Februas 8, 1883, a Mr. Jacob Vincent, a well-to- do farmer living in one of those counties (Donklin county), while out in the forest lookin or some of his stock, was killod for his money. His hovse came home in the evening without the saddle, and the family, fearing something serious had happened, sent a man next day in search of the missing one. Following the traclks of the horse through the forcst,the man, after a while camo upon Mr. Vincent's saddle hanging in a tree. A little faether on he noticed spots of blood here and there in the path, and soon he heavd a low growl a short distance aw Look- ing in the direction wheneo the sound came, he saw a dog looking at him from Dbehind alog. He approached the spot and found My, Vincent dead and his faithful dog lying across his breast. Tho brute was guieding the dead body of his master. 3 B / When the Eater Will Cateh the Growd Assuming the population to be now 65,000,000, with the avea in cercals pro ducing average crops und current con sumption fifteen per cent greater, per capita, than in the five years ending in 1574, present supplics ave in excess of population follows, says C.
