SALTWATER GLOBOLEs.

R. N. Coles, who has been absent from
the city for number of days, returned

The masquerade ball, given by the

grand success. The highest praise has
been awarded the management, by those
who took part in the festivities.
Mr.. Wakeman, special agent of the
Mechanics Insurance company of Brook
Ign, N. Y, was in the city yesterday. Mr..
Wakeman was resident of Saltwater in
an early day, having come here in 1858.
One would suppose that the enormous

A team belonging to farmer ran away
yesterday. Starting from Third they made
things lively on Chestnut street, down
which they ran until the ice was reached.
Here the frisky animals were brought to a

1t is learned from those competent to
Judge, that the winters cut of logs will fall
20 per cent. short of the estimate made in
the early part of the season. One firm,
whose calculation was set at three million
feet per week, has already fallen short
one-sixth. The shrinkage is attributed to
the unusually cold weather which has pre-
vailed ever since the work was begun in
the fall.

The Commercial Gazette, published in
the "Paris of America where there is
supposed to be more musical culture to
the square inch than anywhere else in the
universe, has this comment on great
composer. "Wagner," says this journal,
''has a habit of forcing voices. His must
cal gymnastics make the best artists wish
they had never been born, and the audi
ence generally transfer the wish from the
artist to the composer. Wagner's music,
especially his later compositions, is an at
tempt to unite the dissonance of a mad
house to the fantasies of an asylum of lu-
natics." There is something SO wild and
weird in tfis artistic critique, that it is
suggestive of things stronger than the
gentle German wine. How ever could the
greatest of German composers have so Of

IT has been decided by the Republican
leaders in congress, that no river and har-
Dor appropriation bill will bepasSed at
this session. The people raised such row
over the wastefulness of last sessions
measure that they have become frightened,
and hope to regain some reputation for
economy by making no expenditures at all
this year. This is characteristic of the
cowardly policy of the party ever since
the distrust of the people has been
manifested. Because money was thrown
away year ago on a multitude of dry
creeks and muddy sloughs, it is no reason
why na7igabIe rivers and harbors should
be allowed to suffer from neglect this year.
1t is to be hoped that the friends of the
Mississippi river improvement will see
that the work on that stream is not neg
lected, but will secure the passage of an
independent appropriation for continuing
the work

depended largely on retrenchment and
economy in public expenditures. Senator
Kellogg will introduce bill in the senate
asking for an appropriation of 100000

CONSOLIDATING CUSTOMS DISTRICTS.
Secretary Folger sent letter to con-
gress to day recommending the consolida-
ton of customs districts in many
instances, in order to effect saving in
salaries of officers in parts where business
is very small and does not increase from
year to year. The secretary's recommens
dations would, in effect not only lessen the
number of collection districts but in some
cases reduce the number of officers,
part of which, after reorganization, would
comprise. all consolidated ports and re-
duce the aggregate cost for salaries 1884,
295. The western ports which would be
affected by the proposed consultations
are the following:
Chicago-It is proposed to consolidate
with the district of Chicago the
districts of Galena, Omaha, Dubuque
and Burlington; to increase the number
of officers and employees from rs to 81;
and the cost for salaries from $94,418 to
$111,860. st. Paul, Minn.-It is proposed
to consolidate with the Minnesota district
at st. Paul, the districts of Duluth, Mon
tana and Idaho; to increase the number of
officers and employees from % to 80, and
the cost of salaries from $32,303 to $685.
800. The greatest reduction of officers
and employees will take place at the chief
eastern ports.
CURRENCY REFORMERs.n
a conference of persons styling them

Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, North Carolina, Missouri,
Maryland, Connecticut, West Virginia,
Texas, Maine, Alabama, California, Massa-
chusetts and Michigan are in attendance,
as well as the Greenback
members of congress. Speeches were made
by Congressman Brumm, Hazeltine and
Ladd, and others. No resolutions were
adopted. A letter was read from Treas
urer Spinner, in which he says the best
way in which to keep the volume of cur
rency uniform is for the government to
issue bond bearing 1926 per cent. in
terest-fye cents day on each $1,000
interchangeable at the will of the holder
with United States notes. Secretary Spinner
also says that he favored repeal of the
law authorizing coinage of subsidiary sill
yer money and that the substitution of sill
yer for paper has cost the people over
$3,000,O00 in gold annually. In addition
to this the annual gain to the government
by the destruction of paper money av-
eraged $1,000,000. The conference will be
continued tomorrow.

SENATOR MORGAN is of the opinion that
if the frequent labor strikes are traced to
their source it will be found that the cause
is the onerous taxation levied upon the
people. This is no doubJ true. Every
article working man consumes is taxed
to the utmost limit, and it costs him far
more to live than formerly. He must, as
a consequence, have higher wages, and
even though he receives more for his labor
than he did years ago, he finds his savings
as small or even less. This makes him
disconnected and ready to join any demon
stration having for its avowed purpose
the betterment of his condition. The
high taxes the working men of the coun-
try pay indirectly to the monopolIsts is
the underlying cause of the miserable
condition of the class generally.

AFTER RUFUS HATCH.

Gov. Crosby, of Montana, Addresses the
United States SeRhte a Letter ON the Pro-
posed Steal by Rufus Hatch and His As
sociates of Yellowstone Park-The Hotel
Scheme Simply Blind to Obtain Control
of the Park for Grazing purposes.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 1.-THE COM
munication from J. Schuyler Crosby,
governor of Montana, presented to
the senate to-day by Mr.. Saunders,
chairman of the senate committee on
territories, relates generally to the pres
ervation and management of the Yellow
stone National park, but is devoted par
ticularly to a caustic review of the schemes
of Rufus Hatch, WHIP it is alleged, aims to
secure for his own exclusive benefit the use
of the Yellowstone park and to turn the
greater part of it into vast private cattle
ranch. Governor Crosby begins his letter
with words of personal explanation, say
ing Mr.. Hatch arraigns me by name
for regarding the interests of
the territory which l have
the hsnor to preside over, and accuses me
of posing as public reformer. 1 cannot
retort the accusation. Mr.. Hatch has re-
ceived certain sort of national reputation
DIS LlOuOpOllSb dlLO OuV 10
would be irony to call these things re-
forms. l am not unwilling to be called a
reformer, and am attacked in good com
pany for General Sheridan, whose official
report struck a damaging blow at the
scheme of Hatch and his coadjutors,is also
fercely assaiIed by the notorious spscula
tor.
Gov. Crosby then says: "The issue be-
tween Hatch and myself is neither impor
tant nor of my seeking. The real issue is
national, not personal. It is whether the
Yellowstone park be, in the language of
the dedicatory statute, public park and
pleasure ground for the benefit and enjoy
meut of the people, or whether it shall be
the cattle ranch of Rufus Hatch ct al,
who proposes to establish vast cattle en-
terprises close to the park and secure IN
limited forage and immunity from dis
turbances in their trsspass by con-
trolling the park as hotel monopolists,
who lease some 1000 acres embracing
every object of interest to tourists and
mean to let their cattle obtain free pasture
over the remaining millions of acres. The
issue is: ''Shall the public or this band Of
spectators profit by Yellowstone Park"
Gov. Crosby then reviews at length, and
with much acrimony, the plans and alleged
purposes of Hatch and his associates, and
closed by recommending the absolute an
nulment of every unauthorized lease of any
part of the park for the reason that if
Hatch and his associates are to be permit
ted to keep hotel there, all the abuses
that have made Niagara byvord of dis
gust will attend such an administration.
Upon being asked this morning what he
thought of Gov. Crosby's letter Senator
Saunders said he had not read it, and had
therefore formed no opinion. He had as
sumed that letter from one Of the terri
torial governors was entitled to the con-
sideration of the senate, and had offered it
without perusal for reference to his (Saun-
ders) committee.

RUM'S ENEMIES.

The State Convention of Iowa Prohibition
ists-An Extra Session of the Legisla-
ture to Remedy the Defect in the Pro
hibition Law to be Recommended.
Especial Telegram to the Globs.l
Dies MONIES, Ia, Feb. 1.-THE state pro-
hibition convention was called to order at
II o'clock by B. F. Wright, of Floyd coun-
ty, and Hon. Aaron Kimball, of Howard
county, was elected temporary chairman.
Prayer was offered by Rev. DR.. Magoan, of
Iowa college, when B. +. Wright, of Floyd,
Jno. Mahin, of Muscatine, and Perry Per-
kins, of Des Moines, were
elected secretaries. Committees on
credentials, permanent organization,
resolutions and business were appointed
representing each congressional district.
The committee on resolutions is: First
district, Ehos. Bell, of Jefferson; Second
district, Judge John Mexican, of Jones;
Third district, Prof. A. Holmes, of Della
ware; Fourth district, B. F. Wright, of
Floyd; Fifth district, L. L. Hamlin, of
Washington; Seventh district, Rev. T. W.
Evans, of Muscatine; Seventh district, W.
S. P cry, of Warren; Eighth district, Hon.
E. Clarke Page; Ninth district, ohm Todd,
of Fremont; Tenth district, George E.
Roberts, of Webster; Eleventh district,
Rev. Jno. II. Lazisr, of Woodbury.. The
convention was large and comprises some
of the ablest men in the state. So far as
can be learned, the majority Of the con-
vention is in favor of an extra session of
the Legislature. The question will elicit
warm discussion. President Kimball, on
taking the chair, outlined no action, but
simply said though they had been defeated
they were not disheartened, for the MAORI
ty at the polls, in June last, was an assur-
ance that the body of the people were
right, and ultimate success was assured.
