A resolution introduced by Mr.. Altman
instructs the tax collector to proceed
against delinquents at once. Mr.. Hebard
objected to its immediate adoption on the
ground that unnecessary expense would
be incurred and that it was not advisable
to distress ~delinquents unless such a pro-
cedure was unavoidable. Mr.. Altman
responded that delay in collecting was
unjust to the taxpayers who had prompt
ly discharged their obligations to the city.
Several aldermen concurred in this view
of the matter and thought the time had
come to act in the premises. Being called
upon the city attorney gave an opinion
on the subject and the treasurer made a
few remarks.
Under suspension of the rules the res
olution was adopted by a unanimous vote,
and delinquent realty owners will be ad-
vertIsed at once.
Mr.. Altman moved that the treasurer
be instructed to forthwith proceed against
delinquent personal property owners.

Tor the presidents reception, which
takes place tonight and which Mrs.

IOWA IiEGISLATURE.
Municipal and School Suffrage
Asked for the Ladies.

Special to the Globe. 80
DEs MONIES, To-, Feb. 9.-There was
the usual food of petitions and remon-
stances in the house to-day against the
proposed railway legislation, most Of
the Signers being railway employees,
but in several cases they were farmers
and business men. The railway COM
mittee reported the McVay railroad bill
back with favorable recommendation.
The most important report of the after
noon was that, which was returned to
the house with favorable recommends
ton, the bill for municipal and school
suffrage upon women. The suffrage
lobby to-day was quite as formidable in
numbers and persistency as any that
has yet visited the legislature. 1t has
been there all the session, but in smaller
numbers. There is a strong probability
that the bill will pass the house. The
tax levy was fixed by a concurrent reso-
luton at 211a mills for 1883 and mills
for 1889, after considerable debate. Rep
reSentatlve Thompson introduced a res
olution, which was adopted, calling
on the board of railway commits
sioners to inform the house why
their annual report has not been printed
and furnished the general assembly in
accordance with the laws. It is said
the report was 1lleu With the governor
early in December and that it was held
by him for some time longer than the
usual custom, and that when it was
placed in the hands of the printer, he
was notified that there was no rush
about 1t. This was done for the reason,
it is alleged, that the commissioners
ideas clash with the governors, and his
eXcellency did not care to get the book
before the legislature until the railway
measures were practically agreed upon.
In the senate the bill to equalize the
wages of male and female teachers in
the same grades was favorably reported.
General Manager Jeffrey, of the Illi-
committee this morning, being the last
to present the railway interests to that
committee. Most of the visiting officials
have gone home. They do not like the
tariff schedule introduced YESTERDAY.

! believe there is no strip of ground and
no aggregation or segregation of

of this republic that congress

Well, the report of Senator Dawes to-
day on the Sioux reservation bill is what
is on my mind just now. You see
Dawes has practically reported his old
bill. It contains the clause stipulating
that we must yet the consent of the
Indians to the opening of the reserva-
tiOn before we can take possession. In
other words he intends to hold back
civilization as long as he can in the iil-
tereSt of the Sioux Indians. He claims
that under the treaty of 1865 we
must have their consent before we can
have their lands. That is all nonsense
and ignorance of the law. The Indians
have violated tlicir treaty again and
again. They are required by that
treaty to keep peace and abstain from
warfare upon the whites. Here Is n

how dareS Dawes come UP and demand
rights under that treaty. 1t was under
this treaty of peace that brave Custer
ana his troops were maSSacred. Senator
Dawes loves the Indians, but | say that
one minute of Clusters life was worth
the lives OF million such ours rs Sitting
Bull, and yet Senator Dawes in
cludeS in his bill clause which
requires us to get the consent
of Sitting Bull, who maSsacred
Custer, before we can open that reser-
vation. Does it all depend upon Sit
ting Bull? Certainly not in one sense.
1t depends upon the chiefs and head
men. They control the others abSO-
lutely. At their beck and nod il treaty
Will be agreed to or disagreed to. Sit
ting Bull can decline TO ratify the mat
ter and all his cut-throat band will do
likewise. 1t is like asking Il lot of ire
Sponsible lunatics to do anything pro
bono publico. If the chiefs assent,
then the others will touch
pen and the document will
be covered all over with the cross marks
of war horse, pug nose. dirty face, and
a rabble of that sort. But Mr.. Dawes
believes in this sort of legislation For
tuna:ely for us all, fortunately for civ
lliZation and progress the other mem
bSIo vi COtnillllCc anu Ol
the senate will not be bound by this
charnel house sort of legislation. The
clause is in the bill, but with the dis
tlnct understanding that no member of
the committee, except Senator Dawes,
Is bound to adhere to it. Other mem
berS of the committee may and will
combat it on the senate floor. 1t can't
remain in the bill"
How about the bill in the house?"
1T is all right there. The house
committee will finish their work on the
bill tomorrow morning and will make
a unanimous report i'll favor of
sensible bill with the clause which is so
Objectionable omitted. Chairman Peel
is bread gagged and big minded. He
is equal TO the situation. He has secured
three days i'll March for this bill and it
will pass the house at that time. 1t
will go to the senate and then it will 60
into the conference committee and pass
both houses and become law
"How about the president?"
''He will sign the bill when it comes
to him. There is one thing creditable
to Cleveland above all others. and that
is that he is fair minded upon such
questions. We do not hesitate mo-
ment on his account, because we know
that he will not stand i'll our way, mas
much as he understands thoroughly the
Justice of our cause"
"Have you read the recent Dawes in
terview?'
Yes, have. In it Dawes shows not
only bad animuS, but he shows igno-
rance of the Severalty law: he accuses
the administration of negligence, saying
that, under the severalty law. the reser-
pation ought now to be opened, when
every one knows that it.requires another
act of congress to open the reservation
under that law, even under most favor
able circumstances. Dawes went out
of his way to attack the administration
and without foundation for doing so.
The fault lies with him, and not with
Cleveland"
