How Petitions are Obtained.

Des Moines Ne,ps: Senator Young
this morning received the following let
ter from wide awake and intelligent
young business man of Brayton, Iowa
BRAYToN, Iowa, Feb. 3, 1883.
SENATOR L. You've: An hour ago a
special engine and car dashed through
this place at open country speed. l
have just learned that It contained the
road master and other moguls of the
G. Z. |. & p. R'y, and that they have
left imperative orders to all employees
of said road to meet them on their re-
turn this afternoon for the purpose of
signing certain remonstrance against
the reduction of railroad fare, etc,
which your bill calls for. That they
will endeaYor to have others, especially
at county seats join them, l have no
doubt. The employees will obey Of
course. There is no other course open
II them unless they wish to be dis.
charged. Tomorrow you expect to be
flooded with this sort of cut and dried
trash. Woe to the representative OF the
public, who fails in this vital matter,
his name will be an anathema among
the people hereafter. Stand fast, the
electors without regard to party de-
mand this measure. The prosperity Of
a multitude of energetic communities
has been throttled and strangled by
railway moguls too long for the patience
of the people. If you desire an express
sion of the people on this object, petit
tons will overwheim you from all
quarters. shall send you one at once
if desirable.
The above letter was from the lines
of the Rock Island. Senator Price re-
ceived a letter this morning from
Bridgewater on the c, B, s. Q. 1t says
'the % r. X. Co. here is making Ges:
perate effort to defeat the two cent fare

was run over this branch asking that

wrote the letter, but does not desire the

EXPRESSION Of public opinion by
petition has been so long recognized
that It amounts 10 authority. The
Iowa legislative ear drum Is now
caused to vibrate by the voice Of the
people as it expresses opinion on the
all absorbing railroad question. Each
mail brings additional petitions, a vast
preponderancc OF which are against the
reduction of fares. Railroad employees
are alive to theirinterestS, and are send
ing in their objections by the score. The
organizations of conductors, engineers,
iiremeu. brakemep, switchmen, etc, are
acting in concert. They comprise a
grand total OF 5000. Their petitions
state that 4 reduction III fares will force
a reduction in their wages and thus
int'ict great wrong. AS citizens they
have undisputed right 10 present tl,air

it to be IN the power Of the companies
to compel their employees 20 demonstrate.
An overt attempt in an unjust cause
would result In general uprising, and
exposure of the scheme, resulting IN q
greater and more damaging PREJUDICE
against the companies than ever exist
ed in the minds of the most incOnsider-
ate. Their petitions should receive the
same consideration as that of any other
body Of men, and if by activity and
vigilance they carry the day theirs are
the honors. The employees receive noue
too much wages for the labor perform
ed. Their duties are eXacting and
faithful performance requires good
ability and physical endu.ap1eI immi'

inadequate and unsafe. An opinion
has obtained that rates were exorbitant
that they we're paying dividend on
liquid stock, and from this has sprung
the agitation for investigation. The
governor has given the legislature some
strong points to guide their delibera-
tions. If that body shall thoroughly
investigate the subject land find the
facts as alleged in the peoples plant,
legislation will be expected, but If it Is
shown that the companies are receiving
but just compensation for the excellent
service rendered then they will applaud
the investigation and endorse the
maintenance Of existing rates. A mu-
tual interest is at stake.
The republican party in its platform
declared in favor of investigation, and
reduction if iudicious. 1t would not
venture to make the enactment with
out ascertaining whether or not the al
legations wore sustained by fact. No
party in Iowa would serve the peoples
interests by antagonizing the com
panies that have done so much to make
Iowa what is it today, and upon which
so much yet depends as to her future
welfare.

SENATOR LAFE You've, Of ourncigh-
boring Cass-Shelby district, accepted
the professions of the people in good
faith, and from the day the legislature
convened has labored industriously in
behalf Of his 2-ccnt fare bill. Colleagues
pledged to the same measure have given
him faint hearted support and well
nigh deserted him when the opposing
forces have come in by petitions and in
person. The burden of the measure
has rested largely upon his shoulders,
but he has been equal to the emergency,
and met the opposition with his best
efforts. Every session of the senate
railway committee he has attended,
listened to the arguments of the rail-
road delegations, and propounded sharp
questions for the gentlemen to answer.
Mr. Young has met with discouraging
circumstances in the contest; has suf-
fered desertion by his stoutest co-work-
ers in the movement, but himself con-
tinues as steadfast and enthusiastic as
on the day the senate convened. The
friction has developed Young's best
ability on the floor and in the commit
tee rooms, and good many will have
cause to remember his singing words of
sarcasm. lie is the ingalls, of the Iowa
senate. However legislation may ter
inmate Mr.. Young's honest and faith
full course cannot be gainsaied, and he
will return to his constituents with a
clear record of pledges fulfilled.

A COLLISION.
The Audubon Branch Train Dashes Into
the Construction Train, Injuring En-
gineer Gray and Smashing up Sew
eral Cars, but no Lives Lost

Adanto Telegraph.
This morning as the Audubon branch
train was coming in, being about ten
minutes ahead of time, it struck the
construction train just out side the city
limits. The construction train had just
started for the city but was run down
by the branch train and the cabooSe
and several flat cars were wrecked. The
engine struck the caboose Just this side
of the bridge over the Botna, carried it
about seventy-live feet, and threw it off
the track on the north side. 1t turned
over in the air and lit on the ground
right side up minus the trucks. On the
Audubon train the engine was badly
damaged, and Is being knocked to
pieces to clear the track. There were
three cars Of cattle on the Audubon
train but none of them were hurt.
Just west of the bridge the Audubon
track makes sharp curve. The brush
ut the side of the track shuts off the
view so that engineer Gray, of the Audu-
bon train. could not see the construction
train until almost upon It. lilo jumped
from his side of the engine out Oh the
bridge. lie was badly bruised and cut
about the head and face, but it is hoped
not seriously injured. The fireman re-
