Weather for 1888.

The weather forecasts for the year
1888 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 ad-
vanced. 1t is anticipated by Mansill
that May and June will be moderately
cool, even if the temperature is not a
little lower than the average. The
weather for July is tn he lower than
the mean of the season, This is to CON
tinue through three weeks of October,
when it will become elevated and range
as high as the mean of the season and
continue during the month, and prob
ably this temperature will be kept up to
the average of the season during No
vember and part of December. To sum
this up, we would have by this calcula-
ton an unusual, early and long spring
with the usual storms, followed by a
moderately cool summer and autumn.
There is 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
rain over the western corn belt, With
these considerations III 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 is stated
that the small grains are not likely to
do so well in extreme northern latitudes
for the reasons already Indicated,

More Civil Service Sham.

Speaker Carlisle has appointed as
chairman Of the committee of reform
of the civil service, Mr.. Clements OF
Georgia, the gentlaman who, during the
last session so vehemently apowed his
aDtagonism to the whole civil service
policy, A bill had been introduced
comprehending 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 thn Law was only a meas
ure TO retain republican Office hoidssS
and considered it full of inequalities.
Mr.. Clements will be a valuable man to
the democratic party in this position.
While the party can 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 all-cOnsuhii,G subject of
interest this week, but has terminated
in accordance with the wish of 4 great
majority OF the republicans Of Iowa.
All the factions that echoed the soldier
cry were arrayed, and only retreated
when defeat was inevitable. That re-
treat was ungraceful. The republican
caucus to nominate candidates for l..
:. senator, state printer, binder and
wardens, WIS called for Tuesday even
ing. TO this the friends Of Hepburn
objected without avail. When the eau,
Gus was opened resolution was intro,
duced to secure its poStpOnement until
the last Of the week, but that was voted
down, and at THAI jilpcture Mr.. Hep
burns name was withdrawn as d 1sRa,
torial candidate by Senator Clarke in 4
speech that Inisjudged the temper of
the caucus, There was but one vote
taken, which stood: for Wilson %, Lar,
rabee 10, Hepburn |, Lyman |, lsoed, 2
Sapp l, 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 ie an able and
uncomprOmising friend OF the Unioi,
soldier, the opposition struggle to secure
tho place for Union soldier was in ac-
cordanee with the patriotism Of Iowa
but to accomplish that result . civilian
so good and true as Mr. Wilson should
not be wronged. 1t was good move
ment iil-timed,
Audubon County Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Audubon Co., Iowa) 1885-1894, 1888-01-12

to reform the system and knew that he
would carry out the farce that the
democratic party so much desires. Gro
yer Cleveland was nominated and
elected as disciple of reform, and
drew . large mugwump vote by the
pretext that with his one term idea,
constituted his plea for suffrage, and
the surrender of his twin virtues as he
appears as candidate for the second
term, must indeed enlist public sympa-
thy for his deluded admirers. Carlisle
executes tho wish of his chief when he
thus appoints a spokesman on the re.
form committee, and Mr.. Cleveland
equally sharing responsibility, will be
unable to build platform strong
enough to lift him from the quag-
mire of spoils and false pretense.

PROHIBITION is 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 aitiicts 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 regu-
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 a
question to which every working man
every employer, every father and moth
er in the country has direct answer --,

GOVERNOR LARRABEE'S biennial
message may be found on the first and
completed on the fourth page Of this
issue. 1t fully reviews the several state
with recommendations as
to management and appropriations.
The governor pursues his avOwed pol
icy as to the enforcement of existing
laws, and recommends some amend
ments. lie 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
we'll 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, AID be-
fore the comissiOn can be expected to
look faithfully after the public interests
the state must absolve them from the
obligation they owe to the railroads so
long rs they are in the employ Of these
corporations. The governor recon-
mends the annihilation 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-
tionality. The message treats upon
many subjects interesting to the tax
payers of Iowa, and its psfusal will be
rewarded by the acquisition Of much
authentic information.

Mr.. LAMAR has rendered his resig-

doing so takes occasion to give the
president recommend. His letter
to the ex.sheriff of Erie county: says II
shall always be proud to have been as
ISOLATED with the honorable record you
will leave uponthe page of your country's
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, l shall constantly remember
with tenderness and gratitude" What
happy coalescence Of the old and new
democracy. Mr.. Cleveland, the chief
of the ballot-box 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 it now goes to the senatewhere
a long and warm debate will precede the
vote Confirmation is highly improbable.

the favor of the Independent by placing
him upon the committee of commerce,
where he is in rank democratic society

Influence. Anderson is eminently a

TIE Thoebe- Carlisle election contest
promises to be only farce. The for.
,ner, the labOring mems candidate, ap-
Feared with counsel before the commit
tee Oh elections aud showed what on its
face appears to be very good Casa
least fit one for investigation. it is
Nh Irresistible conclusion that fraud
was committed in the district, in which
the speaker himself connived to falsify
the returns. 1t is clearly shown that
the returns of five remote counties wsra
withheld to meet the deficiency, and
when finally rendered We're all in one
handwriting. Mr.. Thoebe presents
this phase Of the case with the simple
request that committee be appointed
to investigate and if 1t bs found that
Carlisle had one more legitimate vote
than Thoebe. the latter will return to
his bench without complaining, but if
1t be found that the minimum majority
isThoebes he asks that it he SO declared.
But what ridiculous presumption
is this upon the honor of democratic
methods. Carlisle is a chief in the
party that now holds power by whole
sale fraud at the ballot box: he colluded
with those who falsi6ed returns in his
own case, and appointed the committe
before which Thoebe pleads for inves
tigatiOn and fair count. If it i.
granted Carlisle has made a fearful
blunder In his appointments. If he ha,
selected men who are untried in fraud
it may be that the case will be invest
gated, but he has not forgotten his Gun
ming. The votes of laboring men wht
rallied to the support of their fellow
artisan are unequal to the methods ant
resources of the democratic party. Mr.
Carlisle will continue to hold the for
and his victory over the ballot vii
make him very available to democrat
rs presidential candidate.
1t Ii true that Carlisle is high In dem
ocratic authority and his retircmen
would be an irreparable loss to part,
councils. Democrats apologize for tn,
fraud with this comment, but the rea
questions at issue will not he lost to tn
public eye. Thoebe was nominate,
and elected by laborers and is entitle,
10 his seat. But the democrats will no
permit it. The attention OF laborinI
men il respectfully invited to ths cas-
- I'm evidence Of democratic sympa
thy with their movements.
