IOWA AND THE RAILROADS.


 ~ The end of the long contest between the State authorities of Iowa and the railroads of the State is significant. The fight has been hot one, and in it the State has not made fine figure. At first the commission CTS sought to enforce ruinously low sched- ule of rates. The roads took the case into court, which issued restraining order on the commissioners. The latter subsequently modified their original plan, promulgating 8 revised schedule, which the court suggested should stand the test of experiment. The railroads have not been altogether satisfied with this latter schedule, and in some cases have brought suits to enjoin it, while on the other hand the State authorities have insti- tuted numerous suits for heavy penalties, as provided under the law, the position alto gether being one of much embarrassment and vexation. The railroads, however, have now withdrawn their injunstion suits, and the State authorities their penalty suits. The have secured immunity from further prosecution, having consented to adopt sub the revised tariff.
 The State of Iowa ought to let the railroads alone for awhile now. Its ill-considered ac- tion against them has damaged both the State and the railroads.

DIsCONTENTED FARMRHs.

The worm will turn, and the farmers, who in the scheme of modern combination oc. cupy worms place, are turning. They are getting tired of paying big prices for transportation and getting nothing for their products. The discontent is prevalent in this State, as we'll as elsewhere. A Goshen farmer makes his complaint to the Litchfeld Enquirer. He says that not only are their farms depreciated more than one half in value since the war, but that if sold at all, they were bringing less than the buildings on them cost; that real property is held in the grand list or the town at more than it could be sold for, as a general rule; and that, in spite of this over-valuatiop, their taxes had crept up from Ave os ak to eleven mills. This, with cattle selling at three cents a pouxd live weight, butter netting the farmer less than twenty cents a pound, corn and grain worth less than it costs to raise them, and with labor, taxes and expenses of living high, haze so discouraged the farmers that while New England shows growing cities and villages, its farms are being actually abandonej. Nor is the western farmer bet sS3 oaAt Joos AoWs oh ionSb. HE Wucbt DEluSh little; his corn he can sometimes use most pro6tably for fael; and high taxes and mort- gages are eating out what substance he has.
 The farmers of this State are going to see what they can do to better their situation. Milk producers, in particular, are much dis satisfied with the way the milk business is being controlled by New York middlemen. The farmers are again attempting to form a union which will give them some control of the milk supply and of the milk market. This they hope to effect through union which shall be made effective through a cen tral organization located in New York city and acting under a single head. With a view of effecting this, 'ssctions" have been organized recently in Norwalk, and meet ing was held Saturday in Washington for that purpose, while still larger meeting was called to meet in New Milford on Tues- day of this week.
 Success to the farmers in their efforts to improve their condition. They are at the bottom of the heap, and they are also the foundation of it. Therefore it will not pay to have them fail.

the lemons grew. Since 1881 the island has been under British rule and the Cross of St. George seemed gratifying curiosity on the soil so long ground under the iron heel of Turkish mis. rule and oppression. Improvements already are inaugurated which will be indefinitely ex- banded in the near future. The natives do not take kindly to the change and display . subdued restleesnees tn the matter. A vast amount of wheat was added to our already large cargo besides number of beef cattle. Ropes were fastened around the horns of the animals by means of which the steam wind- lass hoisted them struggling on deck. oil, lemons, figs, olives and cotton in moder- ate quantities. It's imports include long line of "Yankee notions," besides flour, clothing and hardware.
 The island is cursed with feas, sand6ies and Iocusts. Aromatic herbs, tobacco, silk, dye woods, drugs, madder, fine qualities of wine and variety of fruits are easily pro- duced. A long walk brought us to the ca- thedra1, with no points of exceptional tn- terest excepting an exhibition of the re- puted grave of Lazarus. Since several other sites claim to hold his ashes, our enthusiasm was less pronounced than it might otherwise have been.
 fore us on Sunday morning. Some of the party went ashore for two hours. It is fifty miles from Beirut and about 100 from Da- mascus. It has several mosques, orange groves, and produces 8 large quantity of silk, wood, tobacco, wax, soap, sponges, gals and cochineal. Besides the cultivation of the soil, much attention is paid to fishing.
 Late on Sunday afternoon our steamer dropped anchor a mile off the shore in the beautiful harbor of Beirut. As usual Turk ish neglect had permitted the channel to fill up, while mob of bowling Arab boatmen climbed to the deck in pursuit of passengers. As our arrangements had all been previous ly made, we were soon taken through . choppy sea which produced more nauseat- ing symptoms than many days in mid ocean. 4=
 Amid a babel of contending voices we wasted an hour in the Custom house while porters, boatmen and other unwashed creatures thumped and pushed us in their mad rush for luggage and piastres.
 Night closed in around us before we reached the comfortable new hotel, kept by a kind, English-speaking Turkish landlord. He was clad in the national costume as were all the servants. A royal dinner and the rest of the night closed our ocean trips for season. Many regrets were expressed that no time existed for visiting the American college and other noted places in Beirut, since an eleven days camping tour was to begin early the following morning.

 Several thousand Rypsies of Croatia re- cently held an open.air indignation meeting at Odra to protest against the measures to put stop to their wanderings, the authori- ties having even threatened, if necessary, to set fire to their encampments. The orators warmly defended the time -honored privi- leges of the race, especially the free .vaga- bond life inherited from their forefathers from time immemorial. The meeting was unanimous as to the necessity of appealing The majority looked to the Ban of Croatia, Count Khuen- -Hedervary, but there was g strong minority in favor of applying to the Archduke Joseph, the King of the Hunga- rian gypsies, while few of the more radical orators recommended emigration en masse from Croatia to Bosnia and Herzegovina. This suggestion was rejected on show of hands, whereupon free fight ensued be- tween the Banites and Josephites; and there was no decision.
 tn d nE 1r1r,fo nIrrIn nnI for the purpose of buying liquors to stock 8 saloon at which the members can call for and pay for their drink from time to time, has received check from the New York Court of Appeals. The Social Valley club, as the several hundred men and boys who en- tered into the scheme called themselves, used the saloon of one Andrews, who had been unable to get license, and he acted as the steward of the club. When member took drink he paid the steward so much toward his contribution to the funds of the club. If friend who was not member came with him, the drink of the nonsmem> Der was ordered and paid for in the same way by the member. The Supreme court have been admonished by the Court of Ap- peals that they erred in holding that this was not sale. Judge Danforth summed up the whole matter tersely by saying: "Five hun- dred men buy quantity of liquor; they store it and appoint an agent to manage it. On the application of one of the 800, the agent separates small quantity from the mass of the liquor, fixes it's value, delivers the quantity so separated, as directed, and receives its value or price in money. What is that but salea It is not an ovation of the statute; it ia a violation of it."

 We can gay with great satisfaction, an- nounces the New York Children's Aid so- ciety, that there is not need at this day for any child in the city of New York to be homeless beyond a certain short period; that no boy or girl need suffer long for want of work or place; that no child need be driven to crime for support, and that the poorest child, in whatever filth or rags, need not be excluded from education and careful train- ing in schools. This is good deal to say:
 national leprosy fundn will be started in London January 13, when the Prince of Wales intends to'take the chair at subscrip. ton dinner. It is proposed that the interest arisiog from such fund should be devoted to the treatment and care of indigent lepers in the British empire, and that sum of money be set apart and placed under the control of trustees for the endowment of two student ships, one student to make the United King- dom and the remainder of Europe his field of investigation and the other to go abroad and study the disease in India, China, the colonies and elsewhere.
 Here is lesson in politics from the Mil- waukes Evening Wisconsin: Five years ago a first-class pair of steel nickel-plated skates, with the necessary clamps to fasten them to the boot or shoe, cost $15. To-day precisely the same article and with an equal finish and completeness can be obtained for A. Three years ago second grade of steel nickel-plated skates cost A. The same article can be purchased to-day for $1.60, thus enabling boy with light purse to obtain an excellent pair of skates. The decline of 70 per cent. in Ave years and of 60 per cent. in three years shows just how protection cheapens prices. Prominent members of the Hebrew race in New York have undertaken to found an in. stitution similar to the Cooper Union in the Tenth ward of that city ,and an incorporation has been secured at Albany for that purpose. l The $100. .000 recently made at the Hebrew
