RBEE PASSES.


eiRu of the times than the sudden out
burst in the Iowa Legislature ON the
practice Of issuing free railroad passes
10 public officials. There is NO disguis-
ing the fact. and railway MANAGERS
scarcely attempt 10 disguise it, thnt
thsss gratuities arc more brides.
Some Of the most important interests
Of tho people, and the most important
duties of the courts and Legislatures,
ere those which relate more or less
closely to tho transportation compsn-
ies; and Il ID an uncomfortable shame that
cur Lsgislators should deliberate, and
our Jndges should hold their courts,
with these bribes In their pockets. 1t
Il An outrage upon the public as we'll as
upon tho stockholders; and in either

Of carrying the deadheads, and Of per-
ysrting Justice and oorrupting legisla-

An election n now coming on, and
men will be chosen to the Legislature
10 make our laws. These men should
be pure In mind, honest in purpose and
free from all faint Of corruption. They
cannot be this and at the same time be
takers Of railroad passes. II any of

ANEW Al 1HnggspsR II

One OF the most signiid results
appearing in the recent census bulletin
giving the statistics OF manufactures in
the United States by industries is the re-
turns of cotton-seed oil aud cake. These
returns show that in 1880 there were
forty-five establishments of this kind in
the country, presumably in the south,
and that the value Of products for that
year was nearly eight milliop dollars.
The cotton seed used was valued at about
five aud half million dollars. In 1870
there were but, twenty-six Of these mills,
only'a million and three hundred thou
sand dollars worth of seed was pressed,
and a million two hundred thousand
dollars worth of oil made. The busi-
ness is now carried on to vastly greater
extent than it was in 1880, since within
the past two years many new mills with
extensive capacity and improved ma
chinery have sprung up, in various parts
of the southern states. The growth of
this new industry in the next few years
bids fair to be enormous. The south has
at last found a source Of great wealth in
what, until recently, was considered of
no value. Before the war millions of
dollars in cotton seed were yearly thrown
away. The utility of the seed as fer
tilizer was then discovered, and it. was
for a time used chiefly for, this purpose
It was next found to contain q valuable
oil which is now pressed sont, refined
and used chiefly for cooking purposes
as substitute for lard, while the re-
naming meal orscake has proved to be a
rich food for animals. Even the hulls
of the seed make an excellent fuel.
Seed that was once thrown away is now
sold for twelve and fifteen dollars ton,
and the price is likely to go higher.
Much of this product is still wasted in
some parts OF the south, owing chiefly
to the want of convenient mills. It has
been estimated that at no distant day the
annual crop Of COTTON seed will be-. con-
verted into productssto the aaluasoi fifty
to seventy-five million dollars.

Broken Banks.

Great excitement was created at Rochester,
n. T., on the goth inst, by the announcement
that the City Bank of Rochester had closed its
doors. The amount of deposits is stated at
$500,000 and the amount of paper held by the
bank $780, 900. The failure was caused by the
use of bank funds by G. =. Upton, its :presi-
dent, in unfortunate oil specuiations. Upton
owes the institution $38O,OOO and has made
restitution by turning over property valued at
S150, 600. The city of Rochester has no funds
in the bank, but the county is badly involved.
The Second National Bank, of Jefferson, O.,
has suspended temporarily, pending investiga-
ton into defalcations by s. j. Fuller and a. T..
St. John, cashier and assistant cashier. Fuller
had speculated and lost about $75,O0O Of the

pose was stricken with paralysis. The depos-

there were no fireworks, except crack

full Of these, and the Chinese boys do
not fire off crackers on their New Years
