LARRUPED BY LARRABEE.

Corporate Aggression Severely Handled
by Governor Larrabee of Iowa in His
Inaugural Address.
DEs MONIES, Ia, Jan. 13-Governor
Larrabee's address, read at his Inaugural
ton yesterday, treats on many subjects,
but is vigorous particularly on the en-
croachments of corporate power. No such
arraignment of the extortions of the rail-
ways ever before emanated from an Iowa
executive. The Governor said that the
rates are much too high and demand re-
duction. Their land grants aggregated
about one-eighth of the area of the State.
The power of these corporations has often
proved greater than that of the State.
While the speaker opposed unjust
legislation, he favored such laws
as would end unfair discrimination
against the manufacturers and jobbers or
Iowa. He advised the extension of the
authority of the State Railroad Commits
sioners and favored the adoption of
postal telegraph system. He favored tho
devotion of the National surplus to the
relief of worthy veterans widows and
orphans. The address was a decided
proof that public feeling has changed in
Iowa within the last decade, ami that
has taken deep root.
The old faction in this State will have
more cause than ever to hate Larrabee.

ity. The wind last night was blowing
forty miles an hour, with the mercury
twenty five below zero. This morning
it is thirty below. Farmers in
town dare not venture to go home, and
their families at home are hoping they
will not attempt it. The snow drifts on
the Northern Pacific are packed so hard
that the snow plows can not get through
them. 1t is thought that many tales OF
hardship and suffering will come to light
when the storm clears. Trains are all
blocked in this locality, and it is not ex-
pected that the main line of the Northern
Pacific will be open for a week.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 13.-The propos ed is
sue of Sc, 00O, 900 of six per cent. third pre-.
ferred stock by the Baltimore Sc Ohio
Railway Company seems to have been
wholly defeated yesterday. The board
was open again to-day put up to 1880 p.
m. only 227 shares, the holdings OF one
man, had been presented and the books
were closed for the day. 1t is thought by
many that the small number of shares
which turned up to-day is a blind, and
that the greatest endeavors are being
made to secure quorum for tomorrow.
If quorum be not obtained tomorrow
the whole mat ter of the issue of the pre-
ferred stock falls to the ground.
