More Civil Service Sham.

Speaker Carlisle has appointed rs
chairman of the committee of reform
Of the civil service, Mr.. Clements Of
Georgia, the gentleman who, during the
last session 50 yehemently avowed his
antagonism to the whole civil service
policy. A bill had been introduced
compromising the unconditional re.
peal Of the civil service law, but the
committee on reform in this depart
ment rendered an adverse report, with
one exception, and that singularly
enough, was in the form of a minority
report made by this Identical Clements,
the newly appointed chairman, who
then said that the law was only meas-
ure to retain republican Office holders
and considered it full of inequalities,
Mr.. Clements will be valuable man to
the democratic party in this position.
While the party cali maintain its pre-
tense of reform, he can squelch all
measures looking to direct results, and
make the sham more ridiculous than
before. The speaker knew the tenden-
cies Of the man whom he has appointed

Senator Wilson to be Returned.

The senatorial contest At Des Moines
has been the allconsumisa subject Of
interest this week, but has terminated
in accordance with the wish of a great
majority of the republicans of Iowa.
All the factions that echoed the soldier
cry were arrayed, and only reiterated
when defeat was inevitable. That re-
treat was ungraceful. The republican
caucus to nominate candidates for L.
S. senator, state printer, binder and
wardens, wss called for Tuesday even
ing. To this the friends OF Hepburn
objected without avail. When the eau
Gus was opened a resolution was intro
duced to secure its posIponement until
The last of the week, bat that was voted
down, and at that juncture Mr.. Hep
burns name was withdrawn as a sena,
torial candidate by Senator Clarke in .
speech that misjudged the temper of
tbs caucus. There was but one vote
taken, which stood: for Wilson 10, Lar,
rabee 10, Hepburn !, Lyman !, Roel, 2,
Sapp I, and Ruby |. Mr.. Wilson's nom,
nation was made unanimous. The re-
suit is that most desired by republicans
in Iowa. Senator Wilson was by prec,
edent entitled to second term; hi,
record is approved, he IL an able and
incorporating friend of the Union
soldier, the opposition struggle to secure
the place for Union soldier was in &C,
cordance with the patriotism Of Iowa
bat to accomplish that result civilian
so good and true as Nj. Wilson should
not be wronged. 1t was a good move
ment ill-timed.

Weather for 1888.

The weather forecasts fer the year
1883 very generally favor the theory
that it will be fair crop season. The
spring will arrive early, SAYS Richard
Mansill, the Rock Island, Ills, weather
prophet. The winter months are SUNNI
ed up thus: January is expected to aver
age equal to or above the mean of the
season; February and March should be
about similar in temperature, and April
will in this way see the spring well adj
vanced. 1t is anticipated by Mansill
that May and June will be moderately
cool, even if the temperature is not a
little QHer than. the average. The
weather for July is to be lower than
the mean of the season, This is to con,
tinue through three weeks Of October,
when 1t will become elevated and range
as high as the mean of the season and
continue during the month, and PROB
ably this temperature viii De kept up to
the average of the season during No.
vember and part of December 10 sum
this up, We would have by this calcula-
tlun an unusual, early and long spring
with the usual storms, followed by a
moderately cool summer and autumn.
There Is a probability that next sum
mer will not be as dry as was the past
two. If there be any forecast of sum-
mer weather year ahead it might sug.
gest perhaps next summer too much
vain 0ver the western corn belt. With
these considerations in mind the lesson
for the farmers in the corn raising line
would be to get in their crops as early
as the spring will allow. 1t il stated
that the small grains are not likely ia
do so well IN extreme northern ATTITUDES
tor the reasons already indicated.

PRoniBITION is a certainty IN this
country, and that within few years
Every civilized nation on earth is look,
ing for some cure for the greatest evil
that atiiicts the earth. The fact that all
countries are trying to regulate it, is
admission that it is an evil, and the
centuries have demonstrated that there
is no sense whatever in trying TO yegu
late an evil. Evils are to be killed, not
regulated. The question today is
whether the individual man shall have
the right, by means of poison, to de
mOralize mankind for profit. 1t is {
question to which every working man
every employer, every father and moth
er in the country has direct answer

MAJ. ANDERSON, the independent
congressman from the Eighth district,
is being decoyed into very bad company.
1t will be remembered that he voted
for Carlisle for speaker and then took
a seat on the republican side of the
House. The speaker has now returned
the favor Of the Independent by placing
him upon the committee of commerce,
where he is in rank democratic society
and brought directly under democratic
influence. Anderson is eminently a
creature Of circumstances and will very
readily conform his actions to the con-
ditiOn in which he is placed, 50 that the
Inducements Of the situation will be
readily accepted and Mr.. Anderson
found answering the beck and call of
his democratic friends.

GOVERNOR LhRRABEEs biennial
message may be found on the first and
completed on the fourth page Of this
issue. 1t fully reviews the several state
institutions with recommendation as
to management and appropriations.
The governor pursues his ayowed pol
icy as to the enforcement Of existing
laws, and recommends some amend
ments. He is not in favor OF the state
publishing its own text books, and in
this antagonizes method Of suppress
ing monopoly that has been very widely
recommended by advocates Of reform
4 means of controlling manufacturers
would be in better accord with public
spirit and not deprive private citizens
of their vested right. Discussing the sub
ject of railway control he adheres to his
well known and endorsed views, which
are quite radical. He would have the
railway commissioners paid by the state
rather than by the companies. 1t is
presumed thar the labOrer will work in
the interests Of his employer, and be-
fore the cOmissiOn can By expected to
look faithfully after the public interests
the state must absolve them from the
obligation they owe to the railroads so
long as they are in the employ of these
corporations. The governor recon-
mends the humiliation OF the entire
pass system, and exceeds any recon-
mendation ever made. lie would have
the companies discontinue issuing mile
age on contracts, only allowing employees
transportation, except for cash. I'VE be
lieve this recommendation too radical
and not required by the situation. A
private individual may contract to per
form labor or exchange any valuable
consideration for mileage without in
any wise affecting the public. 1t may
be doubted if the governors radical
plan would stand the test OF constitu-
tionaiity. The message treats upon
many subjects interesting to the tax
payers of Iowa, and its perusal wilt he
rewarded by the acquisition of much
authentic information.

Mr.. LAMAR has rendered his resig-
nation Of the interior portfolio and in
doing so takes occasion to give the
president a recommend. His letter
to the ex-sheriff Of Erie county: says 81
shall always be proud to have been as
sociated with the honorable record you
willlea uponthe page ofyour countrys
history" The presidents vanity is
responsive; it is his most vulnerable
point, and in his acceptance Of the res
ignation he finds it utterly impossible
to finish the note" without saying to
Mr.. Lamar: Your devotion to your
country, / shall constantly remember
with tenderness and gratitude" What
a happy coalescence Of the old and new
democracy. Mr.. Cleveland, the chief
of the ballot-boI stuffing, intimidating,
new democracy, admiring the patriotic
devotion Of a man who violated his
oath of allegiance and rebelled against
the government. 1t must indeed be a
humiliating incident to the democrats
Of Iowa. The judiciary committee has
reported adversely upon the appoint
ment of the rebel patriot, to the supreme
bench and 1t now goes to the senatewhere
a long and warm debate will precede the
vote Confirmation is highly improbable.
