PROHIBITION laws in Iowa are as full

state legislature is forever trying to
plug them up by using soft putty legis-
lation. The result is, as may be ex-
pectcd, only temporary relief. All the
tinkering in the world will not make
prohibition stand on its bottom and
hold water. Only a few days ago the
supreme court knocked a big hole into
the Iowa law prohibiting the carriage
of Intoxicating liquors into the state by
railroads. And now the chairman of

of intemperance is preparing bill look

question whether or not the lowest

in condition to fulfill the contract in

Hard Coal i'm Iowa.
Chicago Herald


The Herald has never been able to
say many good words for the hard coal
combination, but the recent protest
of this body to the Iowa railroad com
missioners is one that the Iowans can
not afford to reject. The commission
ers have recommended scale of freight
rates that would discriminate shame
fully against the transportation OF hard
coal. For haul OF 500 miles the roads
are asked to charge the outrageous fig
ure of $3 ton, while for ton of soft
coal the tariff is only $l.72. For shorter
distances tho discrimination is not SO
glaring, but the fact remains that there
is no hard coal to be carried five
miles" or fifty miles" The Anthra-
cite association, as the coal combination,
is named, attests that hard coal is
shipped in box cars, which will carry
return freight, while soft coal goes in
open cars, which must be pulled back to
the mines without cargo.
The hand of the soft coal man is TO be
seen in this schedule. But the people
will be foolish TO trythe doctrine of
protection TO home industries at the ex-
pense OF their own fuel. Every dollar
they add to the price OF hard coal, an

Expensive Neglect.

When labor was allowed to receive
some attention in the house of repre-
sentatiyes last week, among the matters
considered was u bill providing for an
adjustment of the accounts of laborers
and mechanics arising under the eight
hour law. This bill has been reported
favorably to both branches of congress,
and it's interest lies in the fact that it
involves drain ON the Wreasury the
minimum estimate of which is thirty
million dollars.
The eight-hour law was passed in 1868,
but has not been complied with. De-
partment officers have permitted labor
ers to work nine and ten hours day
when required to do so by contractors or
others. In the twenty years since the
law was passed agreat many persons have
worked overtime without extra compen-
sation. The proposed adjustment would
extend to all departments of the gov
ernment, all public. works, all navy
yards, into everything, in short, in the
line of labor that has been done for the
government in twenty years. Not all, of
course, who have served the govern
ment during that time would derive any
benefit from it, but the number that
would be benefited would constitute
quite an army.
The bill has encountered vigorous OPP
position, but it also has strong support
Those who oppose iturge that it is claim
agents bill and that its effect would be
to make the eight-hour law odious.
Those who defend it insist that it was
the intention of congress when the
law was passed that laborers
in the service of the government should
work eight hours a day without reduc-
tion of pay, and that consequently those
who have been required to work longer
hours are justly entitled to additional
compensation. This principle was
recognized in the proelamations issued
by President Grant on the subject,
which led to the temporary observance
Of the law in the navy yards. Without
reference to the merits of the eight
hour legislation, which cannot properly
enter into consideration, although one
of the opponents of the present bill
spoke OF it as creating san arlstocracy
of labor" it will not be questioned that
the law should have been observed in
good faith, the presumption being that
such was the intention of congress in
passing it. II there was any doubt re-
specting its terms or meaning, on
the part Of heads of depart
ments or others having. iurisdic-
tion OF the employment of labor for the
government, they should have promptly

Tho Importance OF Indiana.

IOItuFui OTfpVIituN.
There is good reason for the growing
opinion that the real battle ground of
the coming presidential campaign will
be Indiana. 1t has all along been a
matter of grave doubt whether any
republican could carry New York
against Cleveland, and the situation
will not be changed If instead of Cleve-
land the democrats should nominate
Hill.
If New York is TO be dismissed from
the list OF probabilities, the necessity of
carrying Indiana becomes paramount.
Very many republicans are now looking
at the problem in this way and the fact
has brought into new prominence the
Indiana men who have been suggested
as candidates FOR the presidency. They.
are, as all the country knows, Judge w.
q. Gresham and ex-senator Ben Har-
rison. Both are gentlemen of high
character, both have fine war records,
both have served in Indiana and the
nation in high pnblic offices. From the
current talk of the day we gather that
as an active party leader General Har-
rison, aided by his friends, has the
preference with the politicians, and the
entire prestige of what may be called
the machinery Of the party in Indiana.
Judge Gresham's position on the bench
and the conservatism beiitting Judi
cial position have necessarily kept him
out Of active party warfare for several
years. This, however, will prove no
detriment to his candidacy, as, while he
has not made active friends of the
miHor politicians of the state, he has
avoided the enmihes inseparable from
aggressive partisanship, and to-day all
conservative republicans in Indiana be-
lieve he could poll larger vote than
General Harrison.
Judge Gresham would, unquestiou-
ably, be the strongest man before the
country. He has long been, in the
thought OF the party, q man proper for
the presidency. Democrats, too, are
willing to admit his fitness. Referring
to a recent utterance by Judge Gresham
respecting the folly OF political ambi-
tion, the New York Sun remarked that
he "was wise as he is won't to be in his
view Of every subject" adding: "He
would be one of the strongest candi-
dates the republican party could nomi-
nate for president, and if he should be
elected he would make an able, upright
and most valuable chief magistrate"
The nomination Of Judge Gresham
would be a most fortunate thing for the
party, Independent of the considera-
tions involved as to Indiana. He rep
resents the best spirit of the party, and
is entirelf free from the practical objec-
tions which are sometimes attached to
really first-clasS men.

Who Is Adams?

Who is r. o. Adams? Is he the same
person that was employed in tins city
years ago by Willis 81 Andersen and
found wanting in integrity? Is r. o.
Adams the same person that acted as
insurance agent in Omaha years ago,
managed to pocket the premiums of pol
icy holders and finally was held up by
the company for appropriating funds
that did not belong to him? Is II. O.
Adams the same person that entered
into conspiracy with one Isaac S.
Hascall about eleven years ago
and procured forged and stolen
papers from one Flanagan, private
secretary of VIM. Irving, superinten-
dent of the B. & M. railroad, for which
stolen and forged papers they paid six
hundred dollars, as testified to by said
r. o. Adams and Isaac S. Hascall, before
the legislative investigating committee
of 1877? Is r. o. Adams the person that
was appointed postmaster at Deadwood,
Dakota, and while holding said Office
embezzled about $4,000, was indicted,
convicted and sentenced for said felony,
and pardoned out of prison by Ruther-
ford b. Hayes? If this r.. o. Adams is
the identical person who has put in a
bid for paving our streets we would
suggest that the mayor and council take
proper precautions against crookedness
if the contract is awarded to HIM.

be authoritatively given. To go on per-
sistently ignoring the law was certainly
an indefensible course, and may prove q
costly one. There is, however, no very
great probability that the adjustment
bill will pass. Political considerations
may enable its supporters to get it
through the house, but its fate in the
senate is hardly questionable. Its effect
will very likely be to either cause a
modification or repeal Of the eight-hour

Success.


Success.
The benefit rendered Mr.. w. II. Goodal
last evening was most gratifying success to
both beneficiary and the participants in the
cast. Boyd's opera house was we'll filed
with refined and enthusiastic audience, and
the affair went off with much eclat Inas-
much as the performance was but ropo-
tition of the excellent press club entertain
ment, with the exception of one or two clever
features labored description would be super
tuous, and being purely local amature per-
formance, criticism is utterly uncalled for.
Let 1t suffice to say that every man on the
bill acquitted himself with exceeding credit,
and each was the recipient of unstinted
applause. The first part was especially
clever and the very excellent singing of
Messrs. Mcdonald and Brigham was remem-
bered by admiring friends by the presenta-
uion of beautiful floral tributes. Mr.. Goodall
was also thus recollected, his fellow men,
bers of Oriole lodge, X. of p. presenting to
him beautiful design, emblematic of their
order, IN cut flowers, The performance Of
the Turn Verein on the parallel bars was
well received, while the magical divertis.
ment at the hands of Oscar Enders was one
of the best things of the evening. The "New
Adonis" was somewhat of an Improvement

throng screaming with laughter till the cur

THE influence of the railroads in the
United States senate was illustrated in
the votes of the inter-stote commerce
committee rejecting proposed amend
ments to the law which would have in
creased the checks upon these corpora
tions. One of these was to strike out of
the law the words "under substantially
similar circumstances and conditions"
and the other was to revoke the discre-
tionary power given the commission to
suspend the long and short haul clause.
This power having been exercised at
the request OF the railroads, and pre-
sumably in their interest, may be 50

CHICAGO has mayor and city Off
Gals who are determined. They are
compelling certain railroad companies
centering in that city TO obey to the
letter all ordinances affecting public
improvements in which railroads are
concerned. They insist that the city's
regulations as to the running of trains
and protection to the public be followed.
But in Omaha ordinances passed for tho
welfare of this city TO which all prop
erty owners are obliged to conform
are absolutely ignored by the railroad
companies. The city council has upon
its records ordinances requiring rail-
road companies TO open streets which
they have blockaded, TO viaduct lower
Farnam street, to regulate the speed
OF trains and require them to ring the
bells at crossings. These laws are all a
dead letter. The railroad corporations
hold themselves above municipal con-
troll. They do as they please. When
public safety, public convenience, pub
lie improvements conflict with their in
terests, the city is made to suffer. Who
is to blameY The fault is with city
officials who have not the backbone to
enforce compliance OF law upon these
