In dispatch from Danvile, H., printed this
morning, is giyen an account Of an investigation
made some years ago into the Pekin Distiue1y
fraudr by William H. Bandy. The frauds we're
immense then, and Bandy began to unearth them
with SUCCESS. About that time some 'induence"
or other transferred him to the regular army,
and the matter WAS dropped Some very inter-

Asmighthage been expected, the saloon keepers
Of this city, with al enterprise purely Chicagoan,
are organizing crusades against themselves,
solely With q view to advertising their business
In large number OF bsr-roorns yesterday
notices were posted that prayer-meetingB would
be held there by women at given hour.
The desired result Of q large and thirsty
crowd was easily secured in this way. In one
saloon 500 men gathered to await the arrival OF
the praying bands. The customers Of many
other nlacas we're thus increased. The women
engaged in the movement must be disgusted to
find that their zeal is used to feed the flame they
want to Quench.

Betting On tho result Of the boat-race between
cambridge and Oxford crews, to come off March
28, is two to one in favor OF Cambridge, whose
crews have been >singularly successful OF late
yea1a. From; ;1549 to 1869 Cambridge won but
three races, those for 1885, 1885, and 1860. But
in 1870 after an uninterrupted series Of nine de-
feats, Cambridge recovered herself, and has
been the victor in the last four races In another

time to determine whether or not to initiate tho

dealing with the currency on hand. Yesterday
It coneumed an hour in deciding whether or not

THE NEW PARTY IN IOWA,

About SIX months ago, hastily-conVened and
heterogeneous convention nominated the frat
State ticket Of the Anti-Monopoly party OF Iowa.
without funds, without hope. There WIS the
ghost of Central Committee at Des Moineg, in
the shape Of one man, who conducted the scanty
correspondence that deyolTod upon him. His
expenditure Of less than SIS during the whole
campaignl Tho Reforme1s, forced to fight guer-
fashion, failed to elect their State ticket, but
did elect over sixty members Of the Legislature
When that body met, Reformers and Re-
publicans were found to be Of equal
strength in enc branch Of it. After ballot
ing for several days in q vain attempt
to elect officers, . compromise 1as made and the
Offices we're equally divided among the old party
and the new one. This WAS the greater triumph
because the Republican press and speakers had
discussed, during the CANVASS, the propriety Of
allowing Republicans elected on the Opposition
ticket to entar the regular caucus On showing
the due signs Of repentance and making the
necessary apologies. It was not yet decided
whether the contrite sinners should be let into
tho CAUCUS Of the faithful at once, Or should be
put On probation, when it Was discovered that
the sinners didn't sor1ow worth cent, but fatty
refused to caucus With the Repubicans On any
terms whatever, Instead, they held their Own
CAUCUS, and elected their share OF the officers.
Since then, the Reforme1s Of Iowa have been
asking themselves: 1T TIC did 80 much when
ne tried so little, what cannot re do II VIC Try
our best7" The question will be answered at
the polls next fall. The Refo1mers mean to try
their best. Their Convention at Des Moincs On
Wednesday was attended by IA delegates from
g. counties, and Was enthusiastic, harmonious,
and wise. The keynote to popular feeling "as

The recent conference OF the Boards OF Health
method Of regulating the social evil has again
brought this ve1ed question into public proui-
renco. Pending any action by these autho1i-
ties. it is only prudent to inquire whether the
System Of regulation by license, which is the
system under discussion, accompliahes any
good. It is not unreasonable that the autho1i-
ties should wish to place it under some sort Of
CONTROL inasmuch as it Is impossible to extin-
euiah it by police regulation, and the patrons Of
prostitutes are not the only ones who suffer,
but 1t is the height Of folly to rush into the
adoption Of system without inquiring first
whether 1t wiu accomplish what is claimed
for it. ,','
Fortunately We have the testimony Of Prof.
Andrews, Of this city, who, . few years ago,
went to Europe for the purpose OF examining
the license system, and who published the
results in very compact and conclusive shape.
The French regulation plan is now in operation
in France, Spain, Italy, Holland, Belgium, and
Prussia, at military and naval stations in
England, and in the City Of st. Louis in this
country. The general features Of this plan are
compulsory registration, examination at stated
periods, and quiet, orderly life, under the
scrutiny of the police. The plan is varied some

The defeated Republicans ale the
most jubilant set of disappointed can.
didates we ever remember to have seen.
They take matters coolly, and rejoice
with those that rejoice, and smile with
those that smile, The only gloomy ones
we have seen are the defeated Demo
cratic candidates. They regarded it
as special misfortune that in the
midst of the general turn over they
should not have been favored. Aside
from the Candidates, we have met no
Democrats who seem to have false
estimate of the affair, or a foolish
spirit of boasting. On the other hand,
Republicans generally regard the de-
feat as a good thing for the party, in
that it comes in time to warn it to pre-
pare for the Presidential conflict of
1876 by Topping off all evils, and put
ting itself right before the country
once more. THIS is the generally ac-
cepted Interpretation Of the defeat,
and it shows that the people, as rule,
thoroughly understand what they are
at. They wanted reform, and had de-
manded it at the hands Of the leaders.
Their demand not being complied with,
they have enforced it very effectively.

How are the Mighty Fallen!

The State has gone democratic. The
Nation has gone democratic. The
democrats have elected g ngressmau
in this District, and democratic com.
missioner in this county. What
though we have elected the rest of our
county ticket and our county has Civ
en- the Republican State ticket ma.
jority all this availeth nothing, AS
county we have done our duty,
"pairtly," but not wholly. One conso.
lation is that we have done better than
our neighbors. Look, for instance, at
Venango, Crawford, Erie, and ALE.
gheny, and host Of other strongly
Republican counties in Western Penn
sylvania; how did they dof They did
not even save their county officers,
while Little Forest" although she
had the symptoms, came througlAwith-
out having given way entirely to the
epidemic.
In this State the democrats will
have small majority on a joint bal
lot in the Legislature, which will give
them a democrat to succeed John
Scott in the U. s. Senate. The choice
will probably fall upon either Wallace
or Buckalew. But, we still can hold
the enemy in check, for we still have a
majority in the State Senate, and in
the United States Senate. So no par.
ty measures can be put through by
either.
Now what is the reason of this
change? Every paper we have read
since the election has had its own the
ory, and we have ours; it is nothing
more nor less than this: For upwarc
of a year past the country has been en-
deayoring to recover from financial

panic. 1t has not succeeded enough
to do away with what is "a niliarly
known as 'hard times" In this coun.
try when any thing goes wrong, the
people 60 to the ballot box for redress.
The masses did not appreciate "hqrd
times" and, as usual, blame the party
in power for them. What is the re-
sult: when the next election came,
they proposed to remedy this evil by
giving the other party the reins of
government. Will this change have
the desired effect? Looking at the di-
verse views of the financial question as
promulgated by the democratic plat.
forms of various States, we must con.
fess that we do not see how they will
manage it. The democrats of one
section clamor for "hard money"
Those of another section demand an
immediate imitation of the currency.
One cries for the redemption or repu-
diation of u. S. Bonds. Another for
a new issue of bonds at lower rate
of interest. Now how are they going
to manage itS If any one can answer
that question, they can do more than
any member of Congress elected on
the Sd inst.
The democrats of the West clamor
for Free Trade. The democracy of
the East scy nothing. How is this
going to result. Are the Members
from the East going to be directed by
the Members from the West? If so,
goodbye all hopes of "fush," or even
good times again. a5"
These are questions which will ma.
terially affect the country at large, and
no one knows how they are to be han
died. In the meantime, we bow our
heads to the yoke, and will try to
stand it as long as the democrats do.
