The Anti-Monopolists Win Victory in Iowa

The Anti M onopolists Win Victory in Iowa.
The Iowa House has got into gear, the
Monopolists have gained the empty honors,
the Anti Monopolists have the tricks, and
all goes merry as a marriage bell The
conditions as published were the base
of the agreement except that the An
tbs stipulated that the postmaster and as
sistant postmaster should remain as they
are. The Desmoines Leader, speaking of
the compromise, says:
1t may be considered fair division of
honors and as giving about equal advant-
ages. The investigating committees are
given to the Anti Monopoly side though
the advantage in this may be over bal
anced on the committees wherein ma
iority from the Senate may defeat major
| ity from the House However, as the Sen
ate is largely Republican it may be con-
sidered decided victory to have ever
equal power on these committees. In al
other committees the Anti Monopollsts are
to have equal representation, which will a
least battle the scheming of the party which
has the executive and the Senate. o
course the Journal and Register claim i
as complete victory for the Monopolists
but as ''brag' as their little game we mus
forgive their indulging in it, when the,
hold particularly poor hand.

RECKLESS ABUSE OF THE BOARD OF
COMMISSIONER SYSTEM.
How Rings and Hobbies Grow out Of the Ap
pointive Officers.

SPRINGFIELD, Jan. 22.-There are In
the State of Illinois no less than % boards
of commissioners, trustees and regents,
comprising an aggregate of 116 men. who
exercise supervisory control over the diff
ferent institutions of the State. These
men are all appointed by the governor. and
are directly responsible to him. and to him
only, for their conduct in the management
of their several charges. The exercise of
this appointing power has, as has been de-
monstrated been attended with such disas-
trous consequences in the formation of rings
to raid upon the treasury, that movement
is now on foot in the legislature to sweep
out of existence every one of these useless
boards, and substitute in their place proper
officers, who shall be made directly respons-
ible to the people. To give to the people
generally slight idea of the working
of this system Of giving control of State in
stitutions to boards, the instance of the FL
gin Hospital for the Insane may be cited.
1t was understood at the beginning of the
| first session of the present general assembly
that the amount to be called for by the Ell
gin institution would be $4,000, which it
was declared would be sufficient to meet
the running expenses of the establishment
for the time being, and that the manage
ment would be willing to wait for better
times and better condition of the finances
before asking for more. The Times CORE
spondent, however, has looked up the mat
ter, and finds that during the same session
at which only $4,000 was to be asked for
there were appropriated at various periods
sums aggregating $3.50, $50 or more thar
six times the amount which had been sta
ted as sufficient to defray current expenses
and more than twice as much as the pres
ent building and it's furniture cost. Thes,
extravagant and altogether needless appro
priations were put through under the pres
ure of the various rings which had beer
formed by the different boards Thus
if the Industrial University at Champaign
wants an appropriation it has only to go t.
work with it's 40 regents and lobby for Ell
gin, jacksonville, Anna, and Normal, ant
the trustees of those institutions meyer fai
to reciprocate in kind Other rings in tn
legislature are then made, composed 9th
members representing the districts wher
the various institutions are located, an
these command sufficient strength to over
come all opposition.
The Joint resolution, offered on yester
day by Mr. Inscore, of Union, which look
to a wiping out of all these boards, wa
adopted by the House with such unanimit
= that it is believed the present session will nc
adjourn without taking decisive steps
that direction.
