what Has II D0neg

With no little interest did the peo-
pie of this State anticipate the Leg
islation Of 1874. So many promises
were made last fall aud 40 much fault
was found with the party in power
and its leaders. So determined were
the leaders Of the new party to enact
tho long desired reform, and SO boast
full were they of what would be done
when the reins Of governmentshould
fall into their hands, that the people
could do little else than expect rev.
olution In finances and railroad man
agement, wholesale retrenchment
Of public expenses, and the correc-
ton of the existing political evils Of
the day. The new party represented
itself to be opposed to needless taxa
ton and needless expenditure OF
public money. In short 1t was to be
the "savor of the people" and their
sure and speedy delivery from the
bondage of tyrants and plunderers Of
the public purse. With this avowed
intention 1t met, passed long and
monotonous session and adjourned.
Now tho people of Iowa are asking,
as they have right to ask Of TINT
Legislature, what IL has done--what
have been It's measures of reform
Wherein Is the State benefited ono
iota by the meeting Of that body?
And lastly 1t is asking Why this vio-
lation OF public faith 80 sacredly de-
clared on the altar Of political prin-
ciples last fall. There were great
reasons why the public should build
its hopes on the pliglted faith Of the
new party. Crime was abroad in
the land. Corruption was visible.
Unjust monopolies were oppres-
sing the people beyond endurance
against this did the new party swear
eternal war. But what has 1t done i?
Where Is its record? A prominent
member Of the anti-monopolist par
ty declares "We have been behind
the times. The Republicans have
introduced every measure OF reform
this winter"

The sfaaisflcs.

There are in the United States
I40, 900 drinking saloons with $780,
900 dram-drinkers spending yearly
81 ,575 100000.
From this army of 100000 we
have annually imprisoned for crime
100, 900, at cost for litigation, crimes
and imprisonment Of 800. 900.
From the same army 80, 200 annu-
ally are consigned 10 a druDkard' s
grave; connected with the same are
200, 900 children reduced TO beggary.
These figures may be only approx
inately correct; yet they are sufli-
GENTLY so to make a table Of the
most horrible statistics.
Says another: "If the families Of
drunkards average five persons, nn-
told misery and wretchedness are
carried to more than 100000, a
large proportion of whom are wo-
men and children"
If the total revenue to the United
States from the liquor traffic is
:58, i28, 463, and one quarter Of this,
amounting to sl4, ,ll5, may be
lost to the Government if this cru
SADIE against the rum traffic be con-
tinued, let him put over against this
loss the one quarter of the $50, 900, 900
paid for litigation, crime and impris-
onment, as cited above, and he will
find the balance changed in favor Of
the Government, and amounting to
no less that 81, S92, 1856 to say nothing
Of the one-Guarter Of the 1876, 000-
coo spent for dram-drinking. This
last gives us $500, $50, 900 saved by
the reform Of these drinkers, and
turns this amount into the product
i've channels of honest pursuit and
expenditure. All this and get no TAG
ON tea!
Bat, by carrying this comparison
still further, we may see yet otht r
lines Of economy. 1t will give us
!, 400, 900 dram drinkers saved; q, 900
rescued from crime; $1,000 snatched
from the drunkard's grave; $4,000
children spared the pains of perjury
and disgrace; and woman saved
from an amount Of misery which no
pen can compute.--lndepe,adent.

The Abba Moulin Gap.

The Abba iowa Union prints a
cheerful editorial concerning the
prospects of closing the gap between
Abba and Moulton, and informs its
readers that the st. Louis Chamber
Of Commce have decided to raise a
large amount Of the money required
To complete their connection between
the Central OF Iowa and the st. Ia,
II. C. &c n. Road. The MerchaDts'
Exchange, as body, have taken no
action respecting this proposition,
though committees have been APP
pointed TO solicit money for the pur-
pose, subject TO the condition OF the
Central Road coming under the per-
inanent control OF the st. L., X. G.
a n. r.. Company. Should this take
place we feel well assured that the
connection between the two roads
would not be made between Abba
and Monlton. Therefore, II II Is i'm
portant to the people Of Abba that
the connection should be by way of
their town, 1t would be wise for
Thorn to take such action as will in

ton informs us that the committee

has determined 10 report bill fixing
the eastern terminus Of the Union
Pacific X. n. at Council Bluffs. This
Is certainly in accordance with the
original design, and the final settle
iuent OF tho controversy will be
hailed with no little satisfaction by
the travelling public. The transfer
annoyance has existed long enough,
and Congress will do wise thing
10 bring this monopoly to an end,
and do away with tho unjust exac-
lions made upon all who have occa-
sion 10 travel over this road. The
old policy only benefits Omaha and
the Transfer Company at the expense
Of the traveller, regardless Of the fact
that the expensive bridge over which

Whether or not the trainers Of our
constitution were able to foresee the
introduction Of railways, and the inn
positions practiced upon the people
by great transportation companies, Is
not for us TO determine.
But it Is very evident that they
foresaw the necessity OF placing the
the power to regulate internal COM
merce in the hands OF somebody ca
pable Of exercising 1t, and able TO
carry out the necessary regulations.
While that body wisely endeavored
to secure to the states the rights be-
longing to them, and such rs could
be exercised by them, they knew
that in the extensive commerce and
trade that must ultimately grow up
between the states, national reguia-
ton would be necessary. Hence to
Congress the great representative
body of the nation, was given the
power to regulate and control COM
MERGE between the different states OF
this great nation, Us well as with for
eign nations. Under the old order
OF things, when communication and
intercourse was by canal.boat, and
stage coach, there was little III any
necessity for governmental interfer-
ence to regulate transportation, but
with the introduction OF steamers
and railroads new era was inaugu-
rated in our land.
Though chartered by the states,
yet with the extension and consoli-
dation Of the various lines in differ
ent states, 1t was evident that end
less confusion must arise II each state
imposed certain rates Of fares. Uni
formity in fares and freights must
be secured in the great lines running
across several states, or else the
whole business Of transportation
would DO disarraDged. States may
legislate on local freights and fares,
but 1T Is next to impossible on
through freights and fares especially
when they pass through several
states. Now we do not desire con-
gressional interference when unnec-
essary, but in this case we think the
necessity exists that the National
Congress exercise 4 constitutional
prerogative. And the sooner this is
done the better for the country, the
better for those engaged In the trans
portation business; for it Is certainly
better for them to have one uniform
rate of Of fare along their entire lines,
than to be subject to different rates
where they cross state lines. If Con-
gress cannot be trusted to do this
much, neither can State Legislatures;
ii the one can be bought SO can the
other. If railroad corporations can
control Congress, so they can State
Legislatures. Our country has heard
about enough Of State rights within
the past decade or two, to consign
those hafping upon this old dogma,
10 merited oblivion.--Lndianola
