THE Cedar Falls Gazette is one O.

The Cedar Falls Gazette is one Of
the country papers that does not sneeze
when the Young Man-who wants be-a-
Martyr, at Des MONIES, takes snuff. We
find in it's issue of last week the follow
ing well put expression of the disgust
which all sensible Republicans are be-
ginning to feel over the extravagant and
malicious antics of prominent anti-ad-
ministration journals:
The Des MONIES Register and Burling-
ton HaUh-E Eye are taking very narrow
view of the situation in attributing the
defeat in Ohio and per contra the vic
tory in Iowa to the endorsement and
non endorsement of the President s
southern policy. This harping upon
my daughter" with columns OF para
graphs is getting stale. These papers
may as well remember that Mr.. Hayes
is President of the whole country, that
he cannot be sectional if he would and
do his duty to all the people of the
Union. The grievance of which the
Ha,ok-Eye and Register complain was
inaugurated when the rebels were all
pardoned and taken back into all the
rights and privileges of citizenship by a
Republican, Congress. Gentlemen give
the people rest on what your own
Judgment must convince you is not the
true inwardness of the situation.

Iowa Weather Service.

The Iowa Weather Service began reg
ular observations throughout the State
on October LIST, 1873, and has thus com
pleted two years of continuous activity.
The number of Volunteer Observations
has not diminished, and the quality of
the observations has gradually improved
A short report on the condition Of
the weather, and especially the distribu-
ton of the rainfall throughout the State
has been promptly sent to every daily
paper in Iowa at the close of each month
and season. Iowa is the only State in
the Union which obtains such knowl-
edge of its meteorological condition.
A more complete report for the year
1876 has been published as Appendix
to the Agricultural Report for 1916
But great amount of valuable material
especially rain maps and storm maps of
Iowa, will remain unpublished until the
State shall furnish the necessary means
and thus make this material generally
useful.
The excellent crops of this year are
not due to improved methods of farming
nor to any amelioration Of our soils, but
solely to the favorable condition of the
weather 1t is therefore of the utmost
importance for US to learn the true sue
cession of our seasons in their varying
conditions, and this knowledge can only
be obtained by continued systematic OBJ
servations, such as have now been car
ried on for two years by our Iowa
Weather Service,
Our next Legislature should freely
grant the means necessary to develop
and permanently establish this weather
service.
Our Iowa Weather Service has ac-
quired very favorable reputation
abroad, and is now already realizing the
prediction of Prof. Joseph Henry of the
Smithsonian Institute, namely, that it
will be model for other States. In the
State of Missouri Volunteer Weather
Service is now being organized on the
same plan.

The Supreme Court of the United
States decided case of great import
ance and interest to the people. 1t was
the case of man named Ulrich, who
was elected from a train on the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern railroad, for
refusing to pay for passage more than the
rate fixed by the laws of Ohio, which is
three cents per mile. He brought suit
for damages in one of the courts of that
State, and obtained judgement, which
was affirmed by the Ohio Supreme
Court, and being taken to the court OF
last resort, is again affirmed. This is a
further confirmation of the principle of
State control of railroads, and fixes be-
yond question the obligation of the cor
porations to comply with the require
ments of statutes for the regulation of
fares

THE West Union Gazette echoes the
demand that comes from all portions of
the State for law compelling the clos
ing of saloons on election day, and says
the next Legislature will neglect a
bounden duty if it fails to enact such
a measure. It would certainly be in the
line of good morals and honest elections,
considerations which are worthy the at
tention of our legislative Solons.

SPEAKER RANDALL announced the
House Committees on Monday. The
composition and especially the chair
manships of the committees has afford
ed the papers food for conjecture and
speculation, and now that they are an
nounced, some of these guesses are
found to be at fault. Thus, it was re-
ported that Alex H. Stevens, a friend
of the Texas Pacific Railway subsidy,
would be made chairman of the Pacific
Railroad Committee. The position,
however, is given to Clarkson Potter, of
New York, who is radical anti-subsidy
man. 1t is said, however, that the sub
sidy job has one majority in the com
mittee. Fernando Wood, of New York.
has the Craftsmanship of the Ways and
Means Committee, which is direct
snub to Morrison, of Illinois, who is
turned off with the craftsmanship of the
Public Lands Committee. Atkins, of
Tennessee, is chairman Of the Commit
tee on Appropriations. Buckner, of
Missouri, that of Banking and Curren-
cy. Knott, of Kentucky, Judiciary.
Banning, of Ohio, Military Affairs.
Whitthorne, Naval Affairs. Swami, of
Maryland, Foreign Affairs. Of course
no Republican has a craftsmanship.
Kelly, Garfield and Banks are on the
Ways and Means Committee. Hale, of
Maine, and Foster, of Ohio, on the APP
preparation Committee, and Butler has
place in the Judiciary Committee.
The Iowa members are assigned as
follows: Cummings to the Committee
on Claims; Sapp to the Committee on
Public Lrnds; Oliver to the Committee
on War Claims and the Committee on
Expenditures in the Interior Depart
ment; Burdick to the Committee on
Public Expenditures; Deering to the
Committee on Agriculture; Clark to the
Committee on Revision of the Laws;
Price to the Committee on Reforms in
the Civil Service, and Stone to the Com
mittee on Public Buildings.
Washington kilograms report a very
bitter feeling against Randall on the
part of some of his political friends in
the House, over his selections, and it is
boldly charged that he is setting up the
pins for his own nomination for the
Presidency in 1880.

One of the best things said by Presii-
dent Hayes was in conversation, a few
days since, over the financial question.
1t was this: IF there were no Presi-
dent and no Congress, he thought the
action of natural laws would settle the
finance question" This goes right to
the center of the trouble in relation to
the currency. There has been entirely
too much legislation about it. 1t is a
question that cannot be settled by be

satisfactorily to all parties, if left alone.

THE solid South is quaking badly in
Mississippi. Independent tickets are
developing such strength that the Bour-
bon is wildly alarmed, and is predicting
ruin and devastation if something decis-
i've is not done about stopping them
The trouble is, that as soon as an oppo-
sition ticket takes the field the ne
gro vote becomes of great impor-
lance for both parties seek it, and nei-
Their allows the other to bulldoze it in
to staying at home. This is, of course,
bad for the Bourbon, for the other fell
low is sure to get more of the negroes
than he can. In Vicksburg the new
party, which calls itself the National
Administration party, is so strong that
it is likely to carry the county, and the
uproar of the local press is simply ire
mendous. After having tried in vain to
coax the colored vote from the new tick
ct they are now threatning to overthrow
it by force in case it is successful. This
would be fine loop-hole for the exit of
the present Southern policy and the re-
entrance of the policy of force, in case
the Bourbon was foolish enough to car
ry out his threat, which is scarcely
probable. -Dubugue Times.

THE President has settled the compli-

appointment of John Welch, of Phila-

a wealthy Quaker merchant, and was
President Of the Centennial Board OF
Finance. He is man of good ability
and high character, and his appointment
appears to give general satisfaction, ex-
cept to the Cameron crowd, who are
thus defeated in securing the place for
that ancient wire-puller.

Tuesday. An immense stone, forming
part of the projection over the first sto-

ONE of the most impudent humbugs
of the day is ''Rowell's Newspaper

opinion of it from the Dubuque Times,
will receive the dissent of very few pub
fishers who have examined the book:
The simple truth is, Rowells Directory is
nothing but an advertising speculation for its
prOprietors, and Is not only worthless for ref
erence but is damaging to every interest it
pretends to serve. So far as its announced
purpose goes, RowelPs Directory is Il fraud
