SOME IOWA IDEAS.

The latest attack on the railroads OF Iowa
is savage one and foolish one. Not since
the Granger excitement fifteen years ago has
there been such an attempt to CIRCULATE"
railroads. In his message the governor of
Iowa recommends legislation fixing the max
imum passenger fare ct two cents per mile,
which he says will not hurt the companies.
He further recommends "the passage of a
law fixing reasonable maximum rates of
freight in the principal commodities trans
ported by rail, and authorizing and requiring
the railroad commissioners to reduce said
rates at any time when, in their Judgment,
they are too high" eff it should be held, F"
he adds, "that the legislature cannot delegate
to the commissioners the power to absolutely
FIX such rates, then they should be regarded
as prima facie reasonable rates"
As result of these recommendations there
are now before the Iowa legislature seventy
five different bills introduced since January
10, each providing for some sort of regula-
ton of railroads. One of them fixes the pas
senger fare at two cents per mile, but another
provides for the creation of an elective COM
mission of five persons charged with the duty
of establishing freight tariffs, or in other
words to all intents and purposes takes the
management of the roads out of the hands Of
the owners. The New York Evening Post
makes a suggestion which ought to be en-
bodied in seventy-sixth bill. It says: What
surprises us is that no railroad reformer of
the governors thorough type has suggested
carrying passengers by weight. 1t would be
hard to furnish any argument against it, ex-
cept the trifing inconvenience of Weighing
passengers when taking their tickets, and the
annoyance to heavy women OF having their
weight made known to the ticket agent. This
could, however, readily be reduced to min
imum by a little privacy in the weighing
process. All the conditions of railroad traf-
fic, as set forth by experts, make the weight
of passengers just as important as the weight
of goods or cattle, which is always carefully
ascertained and made the basis of charges.
At present there is apparently q very unfair
advantage enjoyed by stout persons of both
sexes In fact, it would be difficult to justify
on paper the universal custom of making a
one hundred pound woman pay exactly the
same fare for the same distance as the two
hundred pound man.
It will be interesting to see what comes out
of all this. Probably il will be nothing that
will benefit Iowa much.

Gypsy HOSPITALITY.

Ignacio, who proved to be the real head
of the band, dismounted and ran forward
swiftly to his companions. These were al
ready showing signs of perturbed curiosity
at the unusual spectacle of strange for
eigner appearing in camp on this extraor-
binary friendly footing. But on the way
from Havana I had lost no occasion to i'm
press him with my standing among the
gipsies of more than one land; and q few
rapid gestures and words, among which I
heard my appellation among the Romany
of Gorgio chal Qoyal, non-gipsy friend), ad-
justed the whole matter thoroughly as
though [ had been born of gypsy mother
and had returned frem some far country in
afhuence and honor to my own kind. No
pen can describe the marvellous swiftness
in which sped the news that Gel America
no" had come, may be a thousand leagues,
to visit them; that he had SO deftly sin
gled out their chief, Ignacio, in the old
Havana plaza; and had determinedly in.
sisted from love of their very selves and
kind, upon visit and feast among them.
But the gypsy hospitality I have thou
sand times known-ample, generous, unhesi-
tating and SURPRISING in that good quality of
complete self-bestowal upon the temporary
comfort of a friend-was instantly mine.
The entire band at once focked about me. 1
was almost lifted bodily from my pony.
Each member of the tawny community
seemed to vie in outdoing the others in kind

and honest grin of welcome. A score or
more escorted me to a tent, where already
nimble fingers were laying soft folds of the
| heeoy lengua de vaca for my couch at night.
One deftIy hung curtains of some scarlet
stuff before the tent opening. Another
brought cigarettes, pipes and fragrant tobac-
CO. Another came swiftly with ewers of wa
ter and basin of brass as big as a giants
| shield. One brought little fagons of Catalan
wine. Women came with combs made from
great strips of horn; and others with phials
of true bay rum scented with some rare odor
of the gipsies' own decoction. Oranges,
lines and mammees were piled in baskets of
their own making; until it seemed that the
| whole camp had been levied upon for my
| convenience or pleasure; and put to. shame
| by the very surfeit of it all, I cried out:
'iBastantei - hastantel Desistir!" - when
| they all ran away laughing and chatting over
| my glad confusion. Then, as I threw myself
| for moment upon my heecy couch to pom
| der over my strange and unexpected situa-
| ton, vulgar as the confession may be, ]
| could not help feeling with all my heart 1t
| is more precious to be truly loved by the
| lewly than to shine in the highest places OF

The call issued by the national committee
It recites the story of the origin of the league
and the organization of the anti-saloon move
ment within the Republican party at Chicago
in the fall Of 1885, and summarizes the
grounds which the Republican party was
asked to take on the liquor question-that
the saloon is the enemy of society and ought
to be suppressed, that the people of States
and municipalities should be permitted to
say when and how it should be done and
that until 1t shall be destroyed the saloon
ought to be crippled and restrained by every
means that public sentiment will enforce,
and made to reimburse as much as possible
the public loss it causes. The purpose of
the movement is stated to be to place the
Republican party positively and finally on
| the side of home and safety as against the
saloon and its destructive work. The best
public opinion is demanding the abolition of
the saloon, and the enforcement of this SEM
timent is working general and complete di-
yorce between the Republican party and the
saloon. The saloon vote has gone over to
the Democratic side. It now remains, the
committee says, "for the Republican party
formally to recognize and act upon this most
welcome event; to burn every remaining
bridge between itself and the liquor interest
to announce, authentioally, its relentless hos
tility to the saloon sceurge, and its purpose
to make thathostility felt"

Canadian politicians of the opposition party
complain that the fisheries treaty surrenders
all that Canada claimed and is substantial
victory for the Americans, but the Nova
Scotia fishermen are well pleased with it, as
for the most part they have reason to be.
The Massachusetts and Maine fishermen,
who can understand its meaning and appre-
ciate it's effect upon every branch of their
business, condemn the treaty as giving them
nothing of any value and relieving them of
scarcely any of the unreasonable and oppres-
siye restrictions of which they have COM
planned
A man appeared in a New York court the
other day and said that his occspation was
doing homework. He had striven long and
in vain to get work at his trade. He needed
food, lodging and clothes. He found people
who wanted strong maid-of-all- work, and
he offered his services. The sanguine New
York Star thus comments on the case: IF
young men are encouraged to become house
maids kitchen maids and inside help, half
the horrors of housekeeping will be abol-
ished. They will not require kitchen room
to receive their sweethearts; they will not
quarrel among each other over the atten-
tions of the coachman and cook. They will
not ask to receive visitors with baskets
wherein the household provisions may be
packed for removal. They will not insist on
day off, nor keep anyone up nights to see
that the house is safely locked. They can
be trusted with latch key, which no we'll
ordered house cares to con6de to a young
woman They will need no time to do their
own sewing.

It seems that there are drawbacks even to
life in California The scale bug is one of
the pests of that region. It confines its raw
ages to orange groves 1t feeds on the leaves
and burrows in the tendrils, and when its
work is complete the leaf curls up, shrivels,
and the tree dies within short time. A
prominent ST. Louis manufacturer recently
invested s25. 900 in an orange grove near Los
Angeles which suffered from the blight and
had to be sold at heavy loss.

highly tempered, and is alleged to be much
stronger than the ordinary wooden one, and
cannot be broken without undue violence;
the handle fits into socket running nearly
the whole length of the blade, and forming
backbone of great strength; and the oar,
being much thinner in the blade than the
wooden one, enters and leaves the water
cleaner. The handles are made separately,
