M. Barstow before the convention and told him of their plans he understood that he was to be nominated, not by the demaocrats, but by a mass convention of citizens bent upon divoreing politics from school business. When he got up yesterday morning he read in tho papers that he had been elected by a meeting of democrats and he immediately sat down and wrote the following letter de- clining the honor: “COUNCIL BLUFFS, Frank * Trimble, School Convention: Ta., March 8.—Mr. Chairman Democratic I am advised that your convention has nominated me as a candidate for member of the school board. I fully apprectate the honor intended, but as I ad- vised your committee prior to said conven- tion, I cannot accept a nomination from the democratic party for the reason, as you are aware, that I am a republican. However, 1 am heartily in sympathy with the move- ment to_eliminate politics from our city schools, but as my own party has already made nominations, T cannot accept a nomina- tion from the opposite party. Respectfully, “J. M. BARSTOV The receipt of this letter naturally caused a flurry among the democrats, and a hurried consultation was held, which resulted in a call being Issued last evening, couched In the following languag A mass meeting of the eitizens of Council Bluffs is hereby called to meet in the court house tomorrow evening to nominate a non- partisan_ticket for members of the school board. This call 1s made in view of the fact that Dr. J. M. Barstow, nominated by the democratic convention, declines the nomina- tion on tho ground that the convention was not a nonpartisan body. All citizens inter- ested in the welfare of our public schools are urgently invited to attend. “FRANK TRIMBL It is seml-officially stated that at the con- vention this evening both Oliver and Bar- stow will be renominated in order that no one may claim they are democratic candi- dates.

When he had finished, A, M. son, the chairman of the committe lutions, read a set of resolutions, which in substance protested against mere show and meaningless parade, such as building new school buildings, and particularly an $80,- 000 High school, when the buildings now in existence will accommodate 5,000 pupils, while there are than 3,000 enrolled iri the schools. It declared that teachers should e chosen for their ability, and not on account of personal friendships, and ad- vocated a reduction of salaries wherever such a thing was possible. It denounced the organization known as ‘‘High School Cadets,” as likely to result in the formation of a military despotism.

A great deal of interest is being taken in the movement by Council Bluffs men who are to carry the plans into execution, and it s very likely that within a day or two the full scheme can be laid bafore the public.

He said, among the republican party in convention bled last August, had delibera decided to abandon state wide prohibition, and that every republican semator, no matter what might be his personal views, was bound by on the that assem the party declaration on this question. Tire pending bill, In his judgment, embodied the expressed will of the party in question. The nd should receive the loyal support of every republican senator who believed in keeping th with the people. The bill taken up in the afternoon ion by sections Senator Groneweg moved to substitute the democratic caucus bill, but no Vote was taken on this proposition. On motion of Senator Bllis, the number of Inhabitants in a city authorized to take advantage of this law without the sanction of the county, was reduced from 7,000 to 5,000. The prohibitionists led by Finn and Rowen avagely attacked the bill and sought to Kill it by loading it down with amendments. The senator from Taylor moved to add a provision. requiring signatures of all women over 21 in order to call an election also to authorize women to vote on the propo- sition when submitted. Both were lost by a vote of 15 to 18, Those voting to de- feat the bill in this manner were Andrews, Chantry, Cheshire, Conaway, Eaton, Finn Farrell, Henderson, Jewett! Kilburn, Palmer, Phelps, Penrose, Rowen and Vale. Four members, Jamieson, Lewis, Perrin, and Turner deserted the prohibition con- tingent and voted to allow the friends of the measure to perfect it and bring it be- fore the senate for final action. The demo- crats sat ts and declined to vote. Amendments were added confin- ing sales to the hours between 6 a. m. and 10 p. m. and refusing permits to any party convicted of violating the_present law, ail proposed by friends of the measure. Nine- teen of the twenty-four sect were gone over in this manner and Senstor Brower gave notice that he would move the pre- vious question tomorrow, but it Is not be- lieved that a vote can be reached tomorrow. In the house the session was consumed by democrats speaking in favor of substi- tuting the Robinson local option measurc for the pending mulet bill. Mr. Robinson defended the measure at length, followed by Taylor of Davis and Snake of Cedar, all claiming that local option was the true solution of the question. A vote on sul tuting this bill will be reached tomorrow. A bill was introduced by Rowen in the senate providing for the summary suspension from office of all officials who failed to en- force the prohibitory law. The senate passed the house bill to recodify the laws. The bill provides for the appointment of a commisgion consisting of five lawyers at a salary of $10 per day to rewrite and arrange the gencral law preparatory to their publication by the state and two members of the legislature, one to be selected by the senate and one by the supreme court. Mr. McCann introduced a bill in the house requiring fire insurance companies to de- posit thelr securities for reinsurance with the auditor of state. TO CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION. Mr. Carnwall of Clay has introduced in the lower house a resolution to amend the state constitution in a manner that he thinks cannot fall, if adopted, to insure the enforce- ment of the prohibitory liquor law. The proposed amendment reads as follows: “No intoxicating liquor shall be manufac- tured in this state for sale and.no such liquors shall be sold in this state as a bever- age. “Upon presentation of a petition in the name of the state charging any person with a violation of either of the foregoing pro- visions, verified by three reputable citizens of the state, to the district court of the county where the violation is alleged to have occurred or to any judge thereof, such court or judge shall order a temporary injunction without bond, restraining the defepdant from turther violation.

The anti-monopoly legislatures of 1888 and 1890, after paying off nearly $750,000 of debts by the exercise of rigid economy, were enabled to strike off the halt mill extra state levy that was made create a sinking fund to meet the traordinary expenses, arising from the erec- tion of the new capitol building. The tax levy was not reduced without a strong pro- test on the part of special interests that asked for liberal appropriations, which, though defeated at the time, have so in- creased their demands for new publie build- ings and other expenditures of an extra- ordinary nature that an Increase In the rate of assessment to 2% mills must either fol- low or all improvements in this direction must stop short. The house committee on ways and me against an in- crease, but the lobby ir on forcing the issue on the floor of the house. The revised revenue bill now pending in both houses has drawn the fire of the largs and most determined lobby ever assemb here. The clause doubling the taxes of all slack fire, Insurance companles organized under thé laws of this state and taxing mutual life insurance companies, appear to be very objectionable to these interests. The railroads are strongly opposed to having their gross earnings made a factor In fixing their assessments, fearing It would result in largely increasing their taxes in this state. As these are the main features of the bill, it is almost certain that they will be able to sidetrack the measure either in the house or senate. Two sessions will be held dally in.both houses, commencing with next Monday, and an effort made to reach final adjournment at an early day. was to ex- Searching for Id DES MOINES, March §.—Governor Lewel- ling and party of Kansas arrived in Des Moines today and visited Governor Jackson and the legislature.
