Cutting Down Salaries.

Special to the Globe.
MASON CITY, To-, Jan. 9.-Supt. A.W.
Weir is again i'm trouble with the board
of supervisors. Recently when his
claim for services rendered the county
was presented for payment it was re-
fused ON the ground that he was an
alien. Now move is on foot, not only
in Cerro GOrdO, but in number of
the counties in the state, to cut down
the salary of county superintendent.
Under a recent act of the legislature
the per diem salary was raised from So
to 81, the law contemplating that the
Office was not one needing continuous
service. Since the passage of the act it
has been the custom of many superin-
tendents to put in bill for wages for
every working day in the year. The
law defines their official duty to be to
conduct institutes, hold examinations
on the last Friday and Saturday of each
month and to visit schools. The super
intendents have taken the liberty to
outline their own official acts, and have
heretofore presented their bills for
allowance, which were acted upon
favorably. The action of the Cerro
GordO county supervisors in this matter
wilHno doubt create no little interest
throughout the state.

IOWA LEGISLATURE.
w. III. Redmond Elected Speaker
No Change in the Senatorial Coz

w. III. Redmond Elected Speaker
No Change in the Senatorial Con-
test.
Special to the Globe
DEs MONIES, To-, Jan. 9.-The sena-
torial feature of the opening session of
the Iowa legislature was the efforts
made in the Republican house caucus to
drive out Representative Cummins, of
Polk county, an independent anti-prO-
hibitiOn Republican, for tine reason, as
alleged, that his views were not in
harmony upon the liquor question with
the last state platform. Mr.. Berryhill,
really the instigatOr of the attempt, by
first offering a motion that the caucus
be called to determine who were really
entitled to vote. This was promptly
voted down, but Custer, of Jasper, fol-
lowed with resolution looking farther
in the same direction, and supported
it in a speech Singularly full
of bitter illusions to Mr.. Cummins.
The latter gentleman improved his
opportunity of being a speaker of un-
usual power. The logic OF Mr.. Clusters
itea was drawn out to its legitimate
conclusion. 1t was shown that if per-
feet accord with the platform was nee
eSSary qualification of caucus member
ship, there would be very few left to
pass upon party eXpediency. The ques-
ton of 2-cent passenger fares, or the
parties attitude on the school book
question, and many other views in the
platform, were probably not indorsed
by all the Republican members, and
under that resolution they would be
compelled to go out with him. Mr..
Cummins was supported by several
very earnest speakers, who were pro-
nOunced prOhibitioniSts, and he was re-
piled to bitterly by Custer, who asked
the Republican members if they could
afford to put a premium on "Mugwump-
ing" The debate was finally cut off by
the tabling of the resolution and the
adoption of an order of business sub
mitted by Mr.. Reilly, which brought the
caucus to the nomination of candidate
for speaker, and Oh the fourth ballot w.
I'll. RedmOn, of Powishiek, was chosen,
having received 40 votes to 10 for Will
bur and for Silas Wilson. Interest in
the United States SenatOrShip gave WAY
to the excitement attending the RepuD-
lican house caucus. The situation is
unchanged, Wilson's reelection being
conceded.
CAUCUS NOMINEES.
At the evening session of the house
caucus ID. G. Kulp, of Ida county. was
nominated for chief clerk; William o.
: Payne, Story, first assistant; j. l.. Will
son, of Warren county second assistant; !;
Mrs. Mollie Heist, of Wayne, engross-

Good Words From the Grand
ArinV,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The Grand
Army men employed in the general
land Office called to-day upon Secretary
Lamar, and, through their spokesman,
A. F. Dinsmore, said that they had come
to say goodbye, and in doing SO they
wished to express their appreciation of
the kindness and consideration Which
he had always shown toward the mem
bers of the Grand Army. The secretary
thanked them in pleasant speech.
When this delegation Withdrew the as
sistant attorney general, Mr.. Montgom-
cry, came in at the head OF the law
clerks, and there were more speeches
and Misunderstanding. During the after
noon nearly all the employees in the de-
partment called on the secretary and
took leave of him. Secretary Lamar
will retire from the department to-mor-
row, and after that Assistant Secretary
Muldrow will be the acting secretary
until the senate confirms the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Villas.

An Important Decision.

WASHINGTON, Jan. "a decision
was rendered by the supreme court of
the United States to-day in the habeas
corpus case of the mayor and city conn
Gil of the city of Lincoln, Neb., who are
now in the custody OF the United States
marshal there for contempt of an order
of the United States supreme court.
This court. in long opinion by Justice
Gray, holds that the United States
circuit court sitting as court of equity
has no jurisdiction whatever over GRIM
inal cases or cases involving the APP
pointment or removal of state and
municipal officers. The proceedings of
the federal court in Nebraska. the re-
fore, were from the beginning in the
nature of usurpation of the functions
of a court of law, were beyond its juriS-
diction and were null and void. The
detention of the mayor and city council
of Lincoln in custody is Illegal, and
they are entitled to a discharge.

First Gun for Silver.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan, O. Representa-
tive Woodburn, of Nevada, the silver
state, has prepared bill making the
minimum of silver coinage four mill
ions worth of bullion per month obliga-
tory upon the treasury department, in
stead of two millions, as under the pres
ent law, which is discretionary. His as
sertion is that the rapid growth of popu-
lation of the country OutrunS the in
crease of silver circulation as medium
of exchange. He grandiloquently states
that the present administration. al
though hostile to silver, was compelled
by public demands to coin $4,000, 900
last year in excess of the coinage of the
previous year, and that no less than
s4,000,000 per month will satisfy the
demands of trade. The bill is regarded
by conservative gentlemen of both sides
as the advance gun of the silver men.

Hon. John Lind'S Bill to Protect
Settlers on Cert ain Railroad
Lands.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-The following
was introduced to-day by Hon. John
Lind:
Whereas, Congress by an act entitled
can act making an additional grant

proved July 4, 1860, made a grant of

been waived by congress, and
Whereas, The supreme court of the
state of Minnesota has upon relation of
Hon. w. j. Hahn, attorney general
of said state, against said railroad COM
pany by its decision, made and filed i'm
said court on the 2nu Gay or December,
