The Town Council ought to pass
an ordinance requiring the owners
Of property after snow storm to
clean their side walks SO as to make
them passable for footmen. An
hours labor after Il storm would re-
move ii from the walk in front Of any
property in town, and If its owner
and occupants not public spirited
enough to attend TO it, the Town
should, and charge the expense
to the property, One third Of the
year in this latitude side walks are
liable to be rendered impossible from
snow, and some provision should
be made for its removal. During
the summer months when there is
less need OF attention to the streets
and walks than in winter. an OBJ
struction in any part OF the town
such as the recent snow storms have
made universal, would have immedi.
ate attention and removal at the
cost Of the public, or OF the property
owner, il it was his duty to look to
It's removal. In going about town 1t
will be seen that there are persons
who have not raised a hand at any
time to make the walks along their
property passable, while the walk in
front OF the adjoining property on
each side is always kept In good
condition for pedestrians.

Yesterday and the day before We
copied into our columns FROM the
Rochester, n. Y. DEMOCRAT AND
CHRONICLE. a remarkable statement.
made by J. b. Henion. nj. D., 4 gem
tleman who is well known in this
city. In that article DIR. Henion re-
counted wonderful experience
which befell him, and the next day
we published from the same paper d
second article, giving an account or
the excitement in Rochester, and
elsewhere. caused by DR.. Henion's
statement. 1t is doubtful il any two
articles were ever published which
caused greater commotion both
among professionals and laymcn.
Since the publication OF these two
articles, having been besieged with
letters OF inquiry. we sent a commu-
nication to DIR, Henion and also to
Fl. H. Warner 4 Co, asking il any
additional proof could be given, and
here it is:

A Palpable Fraud.

The reward OF partizanship in the
Iowa legislature goes right along
just as though the State was out OF
debt, instead Of having an unconsti-
tutional debt of nearly q million Of
dollars to provide for by taxing its
business and industries. Instead Of
inviting competition for the state
printing and binding, asking bids for
the work, the Legislature totally un-
mindful Of the public interests, has
elected these Offices again, filling
them by men whose chief recon-
mendation is, that they have done
efficient party service Formerly
the same pernicious system prevail
ed in publishing the reports Of the
decisions Of the Supreme Court Of
our State. Then these reports cost
500 volume, besides the cost Of
transportation. Now with better
work, and as large a volame, the cost
is only ninety cents with transpor-
tation added, making saving Of
$3.50, on each volume. A similar re-
duction in cost could have been
made on the other public printing Of
the state, beside getting better work
than it now gets, had the work been
let on business principles, instead Of
given out as the reward Of partizan
aeryice.

Senator Catch Of Des Moines has
introduced bill to exempt every
homestead in the state, to the value
OF $1,000 from taxation. This isright.
Every family should be absolutely
secure in its home, even to the ex-
tent Of making mortgage put on it
absolutely void. A government that
cannot live without robhing its peo-
nle OF their homes is unfit to live.

Silver and Congress.

II l. announced that the oddities
have given up all hopes CT doing
anything with The silver dollar. ex-
.clf that there i a likelihood or get
ting il bill through increasing its
value. Well, there il no objection
to that that We know Of. II congress
Is SO thoroughly idiotic "a To want
more silver to do precisely wha. less
silver will do, go ahead. II i<a good
deal like man eating two dinners
when he is already full Of one. It is
a waste Of dinner and not at all
complimentary to the good sense OF
the man. But congress will never
be indicted for being overcharged
with common sense. II we had q
ten-year old boy who should insist
upon paying two dollars for what
one dollar would buy, we should con-
clude that the family had an incur
able idiot in it. But that is about
the nature of this proposed action of
congress. We will wager ten-cent
piece that if the value Of the silver
dollar was increased and the dollars
Of increased value were circulated
side by side with present dollar, not
one person in Il million would ever
know or stop to inquire which was
the most valuable; and those who
would stop would be the bankers
who seem determined TO buy sill
yer in a coined condition. When we
want to buy silver We shall do what
any sensible man would do, bny it in
bars. When we want dollars, we do
not care a continental what they are
made OF, or how intrinsically valua-
bic they are, il they will pay debts
and taxes and pass current That
the silver dollar will pass current
reeds no argument. It is passing
all the time. and ther. is a constant
demand for it in business TRANSACT
tions. Every week We could use
more silver dollars than We can get
and we have sometimes gone to the
pOstoffice and tried to get silver dol
lars. but could not be accommodate
ed. though the government says il
cannot get silver into circulation. 1t
does not circulate II because it does
not want to, and it will not circulate
ii even if the value of the dollar is
increased, for that is not the pro-
gramme OF Wall street Western
Rural.
