SUING IOWA RAILWAYS.
Twenty-Five Suits for Violation of the
State Schedule.

nEs MONIES, Iowa, Aug. attorney
General Baker and Special Counsel Charles
A. Bishop yesterday commenced fifteen suits,
seven against the Northwestern, SIX against
the Rock Island, and two against the Bur
hngton, for extortionate freight charges,
based on the commissioners enjoined sched-
ule. The suits are similar to ten brought
Wednesday, and each one claims the full
penalty Of 5000 These twenty-five cases
are only a beginning. The attorneys for the
state say they will stop the suits only when
the railways quit violating the law.
The attorney general is doing it solely on
his own responsibility He claims that any
one authorized to enforce law, even a county
attorney, may bring such suits, and that the
injunction has no effect on such suits thai
the schedule is now part of a law and can not
be enjoined. Solicitor Wright, of the Rocl
Island, says this action Is a violation of the
law, as the statute says that the commission
shall cause suits to be brought in the nams
| of the state for violations of the law.

so much of nuisance in New York,
that a determined effort is to be made to
exterminate him. For several years
some villages have offered bounties for
the heads of the birds, and now there is
bill before the Legislature providing
that the State will pay two cents each
for dead sparrows. At that price rails
ing the birds for the bounty should be a
profitable industry.

A HUMBUG.

If the newspaper reports of the public
utterances of DIR. M.Glynn, the ex-
priest, are co1rsct, the Catholic Church
was none too premature in excommuni-
eating him and depriving him of his
pnestly functions. a week ago last
Sunday, the doctor delivered a lecture
in New York. in which he is reported to
have said that Catholics in Amer ca
we're being condemned by toe fos-
silized scribes-Pharisees at Rome
who are the custodians of Gods wo d
and who cannot afford to wait for cen
turtles to correct the mistakes of the
present Pope and propaganda" He
continued: THE Pope is going to in
wade New Ycrk, they say, slipping into
Sandy Hook with a band o.
Jesuits, every Jesuit with a dag
Ger in his belt tied up with
rosary. What are we going
to do about it? We will meet them
boldly, with arms in our hands" he
Iurther said: The Irish, in Irsland,
we're always sending round the hat to
relieve their poverty and misery, and
yet they managed to send thousands of
dollars year to the Pope. as Peters
Pence" McGlynn must have been as
great a fraud and hypocrite in the
church, as he is humbug out of it. II
his hate of the Pope and church
now is honest, his profsssed ad-
miration for both up until q
couple of years ago. were most
dishones'. He was a fraud and cheat
IN priestly robes, or he is blatant ass
now and the evidence indicates that he
was and is both. But whatever be was
whether or not he believed what he
preached. and was honest in his pro-
LESSONS, he is rank humbug now to
foul the nest in which he was nurtured,
and abuse that which all his life he has
praised.

The Woes of Train novs.

A train boy often loses money by theft There Is as much of mania among pas sengers to swindle train boy as there is to keep the conductor from getting ticket Men who in business matters are as honest as the day, and who would shiver at the thought of doing dishonest act, are trans formed as soon as they get on railroad train, and if they can get the best of the company by hook or by crook they are happy, and, although the amount they have sucr ceeded in stealing is small, they feel as good as though they had made S100 in a legitimate business way. Why this should be SO has never, and probably will never, be satisfac- torily explained.
 The train boys go through Q car and leave a package of candy or paper or magazine on each seat, Then they go back to the first seat, and begin to collect the articles or their prices A dishonest passenger will slide the paper down the side of the seat out of sight, or will cover it with an overcoat or a hag, so that the boy will. miss it. The only protec- tion a boy has from these thieves is to re- member where he put his merchandise, and to demand it when he goes to look fer it If it is not in sight. As rule be gets it, but some men are mean enough to go to the railroad officials when the train reaches its destinar tion and accuse the boys of insolence. Tho news company receives q letter next day from the railroad demanding the instant dis charge of the accused boy. The chances arc he will have no chance for defense, because the railroads demand is imperative, and must be complied with. It is estimated that more than 5000 boys are employed on the various railroads in the country New York Sun. 7'- ~''s~ s1s"f'~T "a
