RAILROAD legislation is center

RAILROAD legislation is centering up
on House bill No. 1913, the one which
has been most thoroughly discussed.
and is probably the best understood at
the capitol and through the state. A
great deal Of valuable time has .een
taken up in discussing the railway
question, and looking back one gains
the opinion that much time could have
been saved had attention been confined
to the bill that is now the central figure.
But the legislators and constituents
have gained valuable information that
will result in good to the masses. Plat
forms will be constructed with other
than catching qualities. The bill itself
is as much as could be reasonably at
tempted this year. 1t applies the prin-
cipleS of the inter state commerce law,
and gives the railway commission in,
creased power.

Hon. JOHN n. IRWIN, mayor of Keo-
kuk, Iowa, has shown the genuine met
Tie OF manhood in his official proclama-
tion last Friday, when, though not
prohibitiOnist, he firmly and fearlessly
declared that the prohibitory law shall
be enforced under his Jurisdiction, and
that on the first day of next May all the
saloons i'll Keokuk shall close, and shall
cease the business entirely, front, side
and rear" Thus for conscience sake
that man of honor faithfully regards
his sacred oath of Office and fearlessly
performs his official duties in enforcing
the laws OF the state as supreme will of
the people whom he humbly serves. at
Is the law and must be enforced the
same as any other law" Is the match
less motto of that mighty man of coh-
science. This important decision and
noble declaration of Mayor Irwin has
double significance from the fact that
ne himself is personally, by conscien-
tious conviction, an anti-prohibittonist
and yet a temperance man, honestly be-
lieying that prohibitory legislation is
not the best means of subscribing the
cause of temperance, but that "a re-
pressure course Of very high license"
would be a better remedy for the sa-
looms and attendant evils of strong
drinks. Yet under his solemn oath of
Office the honest official, the truly con-
scientious man burys all personal pref
erences to strictly perform his official
duty and serve the will of the majority
In the careful enforcement of all exist,
ing laws. All honor to such noble man.
al praise to SO true and Trustworthy

the face of all opposition. If the may

and towns of Iowa will stand to aud
abide BY the principles involved in
their sacred oath Of Office and endeayor

Raise Good Colts.

One of the everyday stumbling blocks
of the farmer Is that nuisance he so fire.
quently resorts to-the cheap stallion
that perambulates the country roads.
That the day will come when the scrub
must 20 we all know; nevertheless that
time has not yet arrived, and in certain
sections, for many day yet, the stallion
that insures for four or five dollars will
flourish. Sometimes farmer will
breed to his neighbours cross roads prod
ICY, not because he likes the horse, but
because he likes his neighbor, who
would be much incensed were his ami
NAL passed by for the higher priced one
of n stranger. But the majority breed
to cheap horses simply because they are
cheap, in the vain hope that something
may come from nothing. Coupling two
ciphers will not create unit, nor can
you get horse worth something by
coupling parents that arc worthless. OF
all the penny wise and pound foolish
courses which farmer can pursue, that
wretched system of economy which
prompts him to go to a poor stallion at
five dollars in preference to a good one
at twenty-five or fifty dollars is the
most disasterously impolitic. Added
to the waste time of his mare and the
paltry stallion fee is the cost of raising
the colt. Assuming that it cost fifty
dollars year to raise colt, and count
ing the mares service rs nothing. the
scrub at four years old costs over $500,
and there is not one such in hundred
worth $500 at four years, or at any
other age. A well bred colt costs but
very little more than scrub, and is al
ways profitable, But we will be told
that after paying the higher fee and
breeding to the higher bred horse, a
poor colt may be the result. That is
quite true-it may be so; but such re-
suit would be an accident, an exception
to pretty uniform rule, whereas by
breeding to the poor animal you are
sure to get poor colt. Now, which
chance would a reasonable man take ?

denomination of Maj. Lyman because
the candidate has so long been chosen

gallant Major, the monotony of which

REPUBLIcANSTATE CONVENTION
A Strong Sentiment for Allison-Dolli-

thousand staunch, enthusiastic repub-

and fully met the expectations Of san
guine friends. lie had the advantage
of responsive audience that cheered
vociferously at every mention of the
senior senator. Col. Hepburn delivered
q short address, which was equally well
received. a number of old songs, re-
juverated for the occasion, were rem
dered by the Glee Club. The district
conventions were held in various parts
of the city at 8 n. m. The Ninth dis
trict chose the following delegates: S.
Mcpherson of Red Oak, and W. j.
Davis, of Harlan; altenates John T..
jenkins of Audubon and +. w. Weeks,
of Guthrie Center. The selection of Mr..
Jenkins is one that is heartily approved,
and when it is considered that there had
been no previous electiOnecring the
good work OF the county delegation will
be recognized.

and unanimously elected. Other nomi-

ought to insure his success. Nothing

SPOKANE FALLS. MARCH Is, 1883

The most encouraging reports OF
the condition OF the mines In the vi
cinity OF Chawelah are received. This
is u mineral belt that has long been
overlooked by mining men, but 1T
promises 10 surpass in the richness OF
its products any Of the neighboring
camps. What makes this news more
interesting to our people is the fact
that the Chawelah, or more properly
speaking, the Enbrcy, mines are the
nearest OF all the discoveries yet made
70 this city. Mineral was first found
at Embrey three or four years ago, but
it appeared to be of such low grade
that prospectors passed it by in the
anxiety to find something better. The
section was almost entirely ignored for
years. In fact only one man had the
courage to persist in pushing investi-
cations, and he was looked upon as
ratified. But lie knew what he was
about and after patient waiting and
watching IT was ut last demonstrated
TO the satisfaction OF the persevering
and courageous miner, and the great
surprise of Others who laughed at his
l'e, tinacity, that the ores of Enbrey
ure tho highest grade OF the whole
mineral belt, and that the quantity APP
pears to be inexhaustible. As stated
above this camp is the closest one of
all the camps in the neighborhood to
this city, and its development-for it
is being developed on scientific and
business principles--is another strong
argument in favor Of smelter plant
at this point. This ore must be work
ed, and here ought TO be the place
where the facilities should be for work
ing it.

the wisdom OF the council in this ac-
iipu

THE city AT night is surprise to
eastern visitors. They have not been
acc ustomed to seeing so small a town
so brilliantly illuminated, The streets
with numerous arc lights and business
houses with both electricity and gas.
Aud few people at home stop to con-
slider the amount of capital invested
in this important object. Take the
electric light for instance. When the
new lamps ordered by the last session
Of the council are put in place the
city will be more thoroughly lighted
than any town on the coast. The put
ting in OF the electric plant. the string
ing of wires and the material new in
use has cost the company interested
almost hundred thousand dollars.
This is large investment and in or
der to get fair returns on the capital
there must be a large number of con.
sumers. The gentlemen who are in
terested in the plant have done all in
their power and have spared no ex-
rense to give the public satisfaction.
II is something that cannot be made
perfect upon the first trial, and ex-
perience is gradually perfecting the
light. The electric light is one OF the
CONSPICUOUS features that gives Spo-
kane Falls that metropolitan appear
ance that is so favorably commented
on by visitors.
