or the seventy Changers in the
Iowa House Of Representatives,
thirty-fve voted with the Anti-Mo-
nops on the election for Speaker, and
the other thirty.five voted the other
way. Is this any indication OF how
the Changers generally stand in rela-
tion to monopoly and anti.monopo-
ly ?--D,sbuque 1stegrapA.
No. 1t simply shows that there
are seventy honest Changers In the
House-men who will not violate =
sacred obligation for the sake OF
serving some political AiolOch.
There Is not q true Republican in
Iowa who is not as thoroughly and
honestly opposed to monopoly as the
loudest .mouthed, self-constituted
"Antin In the State. This charge,
by implication, OF the Republican
party being a monopoly party is the
sheerest nonsense, and IL INDUCED In
most by played-out politicians and
gilt-edgcd demagogues-as the intel
ligent editor nf the Telegraph very
well knows. Hamilton Freeman.

Speaking of the proposition TO
open the Soldiers Orphans Homes
to all orphan children in the state.
the Dubuque Times says: zone plan
il, to concentrate the orphans at two
OF the Homes, and convert the 9TH
er into Normal School. Should
this be decided upon, We suggest
that, If ii were equally satisfactory
to the places more intimately con-
cerned, GlenwOod and Cedar Falls,
in opposite portions Of the State be
the locality Of the Orphans Homes,
and Davenport, nearer the middle Of
the State, the Normal school. In
deciding this, however--if the ques-
ton should ever come up for decis-
ion-many things besides the simple
question Of location will undoubted-
ly have TO be taken into consider
atson.

The Iowa Legislature, will, no
doubt, take some action on the pres
ent abomniable nuisance, known as
the Maine Liquor Law, law which
Is unjust in its discrimination
against one class of citizens, oppress-
i've in all its provisions, and above
all impotent to make a reform in the
direction which it assumes TO seek.
A judicious License Law would do
more for the cause OF Temperance,
and would be Of practical benefit ~
farmers. So long as corn grows il
will be used In manufacturing alco-
hol, and so long as men live on earth,
alcohol will be used by them. As IL
is now, the people Of Iowa pny
freight on their corn to the East,
where IL Is manufactured into spirits
and then pay freight back again Of,
the spirits made out of their own
corn. Is this economy? Shall we
pay tribute to the East any longer
simply because few fanatic fools
imagine that the drinking Of whisky
can be abolished when Its manufac-
turs is prohibited in the State?- o.

The Toledo Blade announced some
days since the death Of Henry Clay
Dean. The announcement, although
it may have been not altogether un-
welcome to some who know the
character and history OF the man,
was nevertheless premature. The
CsntTeyiiie Citizen referring to the
matter, remarks that "the people OF
this locality will meet at the Court
House on Friday, Feb. l3th, to hear
an address by Mr. Dean, and unless
he goes back on his history, he will
make lively speech for a dead
man."

The resolution offered In both
Houses Of the Legislature last week i,
asking the State Grange Committee
to present its bill on the transporta-
ton question, called out great deal
OF discussion, and developed great
diversity Of opinion as to the proprie-
ty of its adoption. Some members
considered it ifnper,iuent to ask IA
Grange Committee to submit bill
embodying the views of tho Patrons
upon that subject, and others thought
it appropriate that such a bill should
come from that source. In order
that the matter May be better un.
derstood, we copy resolution adopt
ed by the State Grange at its meeting
in Des Moines last month:
Reeoived, That committee OF
twelve be appointed OH memorable
ing the General Assembly Of the
State OF Iowa on the question Of
regulating the charges for freights
aud tariffs on the several railroads OF
Iowa. Said committee shall indicate
the kind Of tariff bill that will
meet the approval Of this body.
Under this resolution a committee
Of twelve, mostly members OF the
Legislature, with Grand Master
Smedley at its head, was appointed.
The Des Moines Republican says:
This list embraces men OF ability
and experience, nearly all OF whom
are practical farmers, and IL IL but
natural and reasonable that the mem
bers Of the Legislature should be
anxious 10 know what manner OF
law, in their opinion, would best
settle this vexed transportation ques-
ton. Why has not the committee
performed its assigned duty?

THE colored gentleman recentlv

The colored gentleman recently
elected to the United States Senate
for the long term from Mississippi is
spoken Of as man Of high ability,
who will prove as worthy repre-
sentative Of his race in the Senate as
has the eloquent Mr.. Elliott in the
House. The paper published at his
home, Floreyvills, Miss, thus speaks
of him:
From what we know of the ster-
ling qualities of the man, we can un-
hesitatingly endorse him; from what
we know of public, opinion in regard
to him, we are convinced that his
election would give honor to the Re
publican party and pleasure to the
people. On intellectual, moral, or
social qualities he has no superior in
the State. His private character is
spotless, and his official career has
been correct, straightforward and
unblemished.
Colonel Bruce Is one of the ablest
and most popular leaders OF that rnce
whose undying devotion to Republi-
canism has made the party invinci-
Bile, and it is but small return for
this unparalleled devotion to honor
this clear-headed and pure-handed
man by this position, which, while
it will honor the people of whom he
is so noble specimen, will be equal
ly honored in his acceptance. Al
Tough Bruce has often led the Re
publican column to victory for 9TH
ers, he has been himself content to
fill the duties Of an humble sphere,
while others reaped the higher prize.
But his friends now urge his claims,
and proudly place him in the Sena-
torial race, confident that his election
will be hailed with sincere pleasure
in every portion Of the State.

The increase Of the public debt dn-
ring the month Of December last
was duly heralded, and made mat
ter of special rejoicing by every
Democratic, Liberal and Anti-Mo-
nopoly journal In the country. Not
one Of them can now be found cam
did enough to announce a decrease
during the month of January. Du-
ring the rebellion this same class OF
Journals delighted to record every
victory under Lee, Johnston, Price,
Forest, Morgan, Quantrel & CO., but
those of Grant, Sherman, Thomas
and Sheridan were all such small
matters as scarcely to be worthy OF
mention by those journals which are
now so piously anxious for the pros
perity Of the country, and especially
for the overthrow OF the Republican
party.

THE consideration of Hon. G. W.
McCrary's railway, bill, which We
have heretofore published In full, /, to-
gether with his able report on tho
power OF Congress to regulate inter
State commerce, is set down In the
House Of Representatives for the
18th inst. 1t will be considered In
the House, and not in committee Of
the whole, which will afford obvious
advantages to the friends of the
measure. The Senate Committee
have not yet made their report,
though il Is rumored that they will
take substantially the ground which
has been so clearly and ably stated
by Mr.. McCrary. Senator Morton's
late speech WAS In the same direction
citing the same authorities upon
which Mr.. McCrary had based his
argument. In fact, the very clear
and statesmanlike plan which has
been initiated by the young member
from Iowa-advocated as well upon
the stump as set forth in his bill and
report-seems at the present time
more fully to meet the difficulties Of
this great question, as well as the
popular Judgment thereon, than any
other which has been broached; and
it Is in the highest degree compli-
mentary to him that the Senate
seems likely to accept his plan. As
one Of the greatest questions now he
fore the people, this coming discus.
sion Of the subject OF regulating in
ter-State commerce, SO far as railway
transportation Is concerned, will
elicit earnest interest throughout the
country. Inter Ocean.

The Bill for regulating the trans
portation of the country, as submit
ted to the u. s. House OF Representa-
tives by the Committee on Railways
and Canals, Of which Mr.. McCrary,
of Iowa, is Chairman, as summarize
ed by the Gate city, provides:
/. That each and every railroad
line In the Union, shall be regarded
as employed I'm commerce. among the
several states. z. No such eompa.
ny, corporation or person, operating
a line of railroad, shall charge, col
lect, demand, or receive more than Il
reasonable amount Of toll or compen-
sation tor the transportation Of pas
sengers, to be fixed as hereinafter
provided. Parties violating this law
Shall be- liable for extortion. 3. A
board Of nine railroad commissioners
shall he appointed by the President,
by and with the advice and consent
of the Senate, one of whom shall be
a resident of each of the judicial cir
cults of the United States. Such
commissioners are prohibited from
being interested In any manner in
the stock or property of any transpor-
tation company. a. Said board Of
commissioners shall, after thorough
investigation and inquiry provide a
schedule OF reasonable maximum
rates Of charges for the transporta-
ton of passengers and freights and
cars on and over the railroad lines OF
the United States. The remainder Of
the bill provides for the machinery
by which tile objects Of the bill may
be carried out--prescribes penalties,
places Of meeting, etc. These COM
