DEs MoINEs, Jan. %.

The fight on fhe Asenatd1lni -

ined ever recorded In the history Of
the State.
The Senatorial contest has been
decided 20 long that it will hardly be
profitable to 60 over the entire field to
see what Saused the defeat Of one or
the election of the other.
The men whom Mr.. Harlan has
chosen ~ his advisers and appointses
who not only have been with him In
public career but followed him 70 Des
Molnes to lobby for him, would defeat
the best man Iowa ever had.
Again, he brought Robert Lincoln
here, hoping that the Assembly would
testify their appreciation for the
Martyrsd President by sslecting the
iather-in.l 10 " of the Presidents son.
The people of Iowa loved Abraham
Lincoln, and nothing can ever take
from them the veneratiOn they feel for
his memory, but they think no more
OF Robert Lincoln than Of any other
young man.
The fact IL there is no toadyism In
Iowa. The charees seainst Mr.. Haf-
Ian, think, affected no one only
indirectly that he kept q lot Of leeches
around him who were robbing the
government. though he lid not receive
Z dollar Of the u. gluten gatns.
Mr.. Allison 3 friends were of . differ
ent class, or at least those who were
here were men who hold no ONCE and
are not what are called government
leeches. Gov. Kirkwood, Judge
Baldwin, Col. Ticbenor, Gen. Dodge
were here as active friends Of
something, but the great secret
was . has been developed through the
newspapers since the election. The
people wa,.ted a change. Though Mr..
Harlan came two weeks befors the

the newspaper bill for the General
Assembly was SOS, 1920. This year
the House. after bitter struggle, has
decided, ~ far as they are concerned,
to save this amount.
The chagfin Of the Des M0ines m

NJ. Theirs, the President of the Re-

His Cabinet, following his example,
also rendered their resignstions. The
Assembly, however, declined to accept
the designations, aud subsequently,, 1t
the the urgent solicitation of Marshal
MacMahon and other French leaders,
Theirs was dissuaded from his determ

Iowa Legislature.

A summary OF the two weeks Of
legislative work already accomplished
does not make formidable showing,
and no doubt the third week will out.
stride the first two, in the aggregate Of
legislation. About forty bills have
been 50 far introduced, but Ia the main
they contemplate amendments to ex-
listing laws, unimportant and Of no
special interest.
The liquor law question Is likely to
occasion an exciting time in each
house. Heretofore the practice has
been to smother all the papers asking
for change in the Law In the commit
tee room but in either branch Of the
present Assembly there are men who
intend to make an effort for radical
change In the act, and the smothering
process will not avail at this session.
The committee is composed Of men
who ar e enthusiastic In the matter. and
the whole subject will be opened up.
A strong effort will be made either to
repeal the present statute or to incor-
porate the main features Of the Illinois
law, granting licenses and holding
vendors responsible. The long moot.
ed question Of abolishing the Grand
Jury system is beginning to assume
form and shape. A resolution has
already been introduced into the Sen
ate looking to the repeal Of the statute
authorizing them, and it is meeting
with considerable favor.
A joint ballot Of the two Houses of
the General Assembly on the 18th
inst, declared VIM. b. Allison elected
United States Senator from this State.
There has been continued and great
cry over economy and retrenchment,
fully more Of It sound than any thing
else, and with such results A. spending
two or three days over the newspaper
question and then leaving 1t in unsat-
isfactory and unsettled condition.
One Of the earliest bills passed was
lUtIOuuCCu Iuto Tie 1CuotC W - ~.
Chambers for the correction of certain
tax matters in the Independent Dis.
trict Of Springdale, this county.
On the 18th, bill was introduced
into the House looking toward the
abolishmen Of the Gran Jury system
and Of the Office Of District Attorney,
providing for the election by each
county OF q Prosecuting Attorney.
In the Senate, on last Friday, was
inti oduced an important bill on the
subject Of text books in schools, which
will, 1t Is believed, n enacted into a
law, save the people Of the State .
million dollars annually. 1t prohibits
the school directors Of any district,
township or Independent district from
ordering or directing any change In
school books or series Of text books
used In any school oftener than once
in every three years. A violation OF
this law is made misdemeanor, sub
j.cting tho officer guilty toa fins OF
500 and removal from Office. Such Z
law now exists in Pennsylvania.
The House adjourned from Friday
until Monday, and the Senate held a
non mOmentous Saturdays session.

Hon. Jackson Orr, Of this State,
introduced into the House a bill OH
the 10th, donating lands to aid in the
construction of the Sioux City and
Pembina Railroad This bill en-
bodies the new principle of land
grants. II proposes that the lands
donated be retained by the Govern
ment, and disposed of by its regular
land officers at the same price and in
the same manner as its own lands,
and the proceeds thereof to be paid to
the railroad company. This plan
certainly removes many Of the obiec
tons to the donation of the public
lands in aid of internal improvements.
