FROM WASHINGTON.


wAsulNeroS, March 29.-After long
debate in the Senate to-day, that body,
by a vote of i20to 81 refused tol recede
from its amendment to the civil tenure
bill. HThereupon it was agreed to ask
the House for conference. The opinl
ion still prevails that the old law will
stand. -. - ts.:sNe.
CUBA. no,,-
There are pretty good Indications
that the President is bent oisthe recog-
milton of the representatives of the Gu
ban insurgents now here, and Of course
of tho recognition of. the. Cuban Pro-
visional Government, with the rights OF
other beligei'ents; but many prominent
Radicals are aversc to this premature
action, as they apprehend it may in
volve us IN a war not only with Spain,
but socially complicate our relations
with the great powers of Europe. The
President, however, is said to be fixed
in his determination. In the meantime
Sprague, of Rhode Island, predicts our
financial ruin, with our present indebt-
jedness, and old Frank Blair declares
Sprague is the only man in Congress
who comprehends the situation and
dares utter it.. ~. . = i.., ... "
ar. MoRGAN's RESOLUTION.
Nearly every Democrat voted to-day
for Senator Morgan's resolution in
structing the Ways aud Means Commit
tee to report bill abolishing the tax
on sugar, tea, coffee, &c, and to supply
the deficiency in the revenue arising
thcretrom by taxing Government bonds
% per cenr. Brooks, of New York,
was opposed to the resolution.
THE CENSUS.
There is a controversy in the census
committee between the Radicals and
Democrats relative to action on taking
the next census. The former are dis
posed to press the matter through rap
idly and prematurely in the opinion of
the Democratic members, who think
more time should be taken, so that it
may be perfectly accurate. The COM
mittee will take final action on Wednes-
day.
..... CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.
Senators Trumbull, Edmunds and
Grimes, compose the Senate committee
of conference on the disagreeing votes
of the two Houses Oh the tenure-of-of-
flee act The House had not, up to adj
journment, been informed of the action
of the Senate.
.t GRANTS ILLNESS.
1t is said that the illness of President
Grant is caused by chagrin from the es-
arrangement and bitter feelings which
have occurred between his friends, Sec
rotary Rawlins and General Sherman.
POWER OF THE BoNDHoLDERs.
The Western Radicals have sold out
entirely to the bondholders. as is cvinc-
ed by the vote on Gen. Morgan's pro
position to tax bonds, and Democrats
were surprised and mortified that
Brooks and Slocum, Of New York, and
two or three Eastern Democrats lodged
and did not vote at all. This evasion
illustrates the growing power Of the
bondhOlders. ..'. .,.D.

THrRTy-Two FAMILIES. When
on a trip into the east edge OF Grun-
-dy county we were told by farmers
In Blackhawk township which lies
some eight miles southwest OF our
city, that they knew of thirty-two
families who would move into that
township this spring. The trade OF
this township naturally belongs to
us anu this increase of settlers is as
mitch of an addition to our trade as
If they were settling among us.
The bridge across the north fork OF
the Blackhawk of which we spoke
last week Is very much needed 10y
these new Corners. Indeed many OF
them win find II almost impossible
to get to and from their lands during
considerable portion of spring
without the bridge, We trust somo-
thing more than talking will be
dore. Any one who will take the
trouble to look at the Importance
that this bridge and Diagonal road
to II bears to our trade will sec at
once that we need waking up with n
sharp stick.

BUILDING AsSoCIA1IoNs-Bu
ing associations have been organized
in many eastern towns and are work
ing to the entire satisfaction of all
concerned, and such an organization
would be an important help to US.
These association have for their hjeet
the accumulation OF fund by the
savings of the members thereof, suifi.
Client to enable them to build or pur-
chase for themselves dwelling houses,
or TO invest the same i'm such manner
as they may deem most advanta-
geOus.
An association is formed by getting
as many shares as possible taken, of
ticers and directors are chosen and
installments of one dollar are paid
monthly upon each share. BY the
judicious management of these asso-
Citations in the east every two hun
dred dollar share is worth it-.full face
by the time sixty dollars in monthly
enstallments are paid in.
Almost every day inquiry is being
made on oar streets for houses TO rent
and only portion can he supplied
This could be obviated but the great
advantage il that those who are
paying out money for rent. could
be using that money each month in
paying for their own bones. Let us
organize an association among us
and We will find it n paying invest
ment as well as a great help to the
growth of our city. We have copies
of by laws for such an organization
in our possession.

EMIGRATION The Herald says
the emigration that passes through
Dubuque this spring is chiefly by
rail which mode of conveyance eX-
ceeds 10y far that of wagon travel.
The emigration too, is in favor of
the west and increasing every day,
showing that emigrants have more
means to seek new homes thereby
evading the slow coach method. An
account of the number of pieces of
baggage sent west is the best proof
of the above assertion. The daily
average il from 60 to 10 pieces per
day and that on the regular train
only. The night trains are also in
creasing their passenger business.
Yesterday morning 103 pieces of bag
gage were checked for points west
and an extra car added to the train
in the rush for homes in the west.
These are cheering prospects and be-
token glorious future for the state
of Iowa.

CONTRACT FROM CEDAR RAPIDS

bridging the Cedar Valley road from
Cedar Rapids to Vinton, which is be-

men in his employ measure
in.the the aggregate nineteen feet
and four inches in hight. This looks
like pushing work we think on the
line. The Company expect TO have
the cars running to Laporte City be-
fore next winters snow flies.

FAST BoYs.-Wc have oft times
sharpened our pencil and run our
hand through our hair in prepare
ton of writing something about the
"Young America" of Cedar Falls
the knee-highs of to-day who are to
leave their Footprints on the sands
of time"-but the subject being of
so grave character we have refrain
cd from giving this class of humani-
ty their. due proportion of publicity.
you've O promising class of boys''
remarked a gentleman the other day
OH our streets. For what? "For the
gallows, the States prison or the
drunkard's grave" More truth than
poetry in that, thought we rs we re-
membered the yells and noise made
by these young hopefuls until late
hour every night, on our streets. Pa
rents, do you know where your boys
are nights? We fear that many do
not. a citizen OF our town took the
trouble to look them up, few even
ings since, and forty of them were
found enid the carousings and revei-
ries OF saloons. Is this not alarming,
and is there no remedy to be applied?
In many Of the towns of our State
the boys arc prohibited by an ordi-
nance Of the city from being in the
saloons nights. Shall we not have
such a law in Cedar Falls? In be-
half OF those parents whose children
frequent these dens of crime, we call
upon our city officials TO come to the
rescue.

No INsURANCE.-Many are asking
whether Mr.. Mccoy had any insur-
ance on his life. We answer, he did
not have any when he died. He at
one time held a policy in the Mutual
Benefit, but failed to keep up his re-
newals. On the day before he was
taken sick one of our Insurance
agents advised him to take q policy
on his life. of 81 900, and offered to
make the payment good, in case OF
death, from that date, by his INC.
Coy's) paying at the time ten dollars
down and the balance of premium as
soon as he could. He replied that he
intended to get his life insured as
soon as his money was received from
the Cedar Valley railroad company.
This is striking instance of the ne.
cessity of Life insurance. Those nc.
quainted with tho circumstances oil
Mr.. Mccoy will realize more fully
the force of this.

other than to inform the young man
that his bacon was saved and we q

SUDDEN DEATH OF WIN. Mccoy. -
We are paIned to announce the sud-
den death of our esteemed citizen
VIM. Mc' 10y, which occurred last
Sunday night about II. NJ. He
was on our streets on Friday ap-
parentIy well in the evening of The
same day was taken sick. DIR. Rob-
inson, his attending physician, was
immediately called and pronounced
the case a malignant form of ty.
plus fever (cerebro spinal rneningT-
tis) which, acting upon the brain
produced insensibility. Shortly af-
ter his attack stupor came over him
from which he did not recover. He
was aroused by tho use of slim
liant few hours before his death and
replied to a question or two but was
insensible to everything around him.
The suddenness Of his death has been
the theme OF much comment and the
cause of legion of false representa-
tions. The physician has been
charged with prescribing an over
dose of medicine the druggists with
putting up the wrong prescription &c.
&C., ddinffaituDa. To all these rumors
DIR. Robinson authorizes US to state
that the prescriptions were put up as
ordered and administered correctly,
that an over dose was not given aud
that an antidote was not administer
ed 10 counteract the effects of the
medicine. He wishes to exonerate
the druggists and all others from CEN
sure, feeling fully competent to shout
der all responsibility in the matter.
Having proffered his services to as
sist in performing an autopsy
and none being desired by the family
the wise-acres should be content.
Mr.. Mccoy was not q healthy man
as his appearance indicated. He was
very sick last December aud was
then directed by the physician to
take good care of himself and rest for
several months asst was only by great
care he could recover. He has always
been an active hard laboring man
having been mainly engaged in
bridge:building and railroad cons.rIc-
tons, which i'm many instances conn
PEELED great exposures.
The deceased was born in Piqua
Co. Ohio in September 1918. He re-
moved with his family to this State
fifteen years ago and has resided for
the past twelve years in Cedar Falls.
An aged aunt, wife in feeble health
and eight children remain to mourn
his loss.
The sympathies of the community
are extended to these .bereayed ones
i'm this their hour of need.
