ALMOST A CRIME.

The studied and continuous efforts
of the Capital TO pcrvert the meaning
of the laws, aiming thereby to CON
fuse the settler is wrong, rising al
most TO the euormity of a crime.
Not an order has been ISSUED by the
department, not a step has been taken
by the officers detailed to prevent
fraud aud place the homescskers on
an equal footing with an even break
for all. but has been garblcd and dis.
tortcd by this organ in its efforts TO
deceive and hoodwink the people.
The motive is apparent If the set
tiers could bc deceived as TO the law
and their rights, and the opening be
made failure, the error would nat
urally be charged up 20 the admins
tration. No matte. how many poor
people lost their all and got beaten out
of = claim, no matter whose rights
were prejudiced. no matter how many
honest people suffered, partisan pur-
pose would have been accomplished.
An end TO such tactics. The law is
plain. 1t is So clear that he who runs
may read and he has plenty OF time to
read before he runs DO not let your
underst anding he clouded 10y faulty
constructions. Read that you may
know. Get sqsare and go right and
then VIII vt you get you can heldon
to.
"A fair held aud no favors' is the
motto of the administration.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND CAN BI
TRUSTED.

Whatever the division of sentiment
may be, whatcvcr the standpoint from
which one regards the present ma
tional administration, there is no
division as 10 the high aud exalted
purpose of President Cleveland aed
his cabinet TO administer the govern
ment ia the interest OF and for the
best good Of all The people. In this
connection n Is not forgotten that
when Mr.. Cleveland entered upon bis
duties as president of the United
States, he was met ut the very thrcsh-
hold of his administration with de-
pleted treasury. Not only was tbs
true. but he had TO confront the Shcr-
man act aud other vicious legislation
enacted by the Republican party
whose effects had been slowly but
surely creeping apace as the Republi-
can administration scared ita close,
and fell will citing effects upon the
country soon after. As an evidence

express himself on matters of national

As 20 thc financial problem, he said
that he had made it point to get the
the concensus of opinion prevailing
among the law makers, and had ar
rived at the following conclusions
which he considered safe:
The sherman law would be uncon-
ditionally repealed and free COMA -e
of silver would bc defeated. a bill for
limited co mage however, would
pa,s and woull not bc opposed
by New York and Boston bankers. A
law establishing state hai,ks under
federal superyiSioir would also pass.

repeal of re sherman purchasing act

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The galleries |
of the house were sparsely occupied and

when the second days session was called
to order. Without ripple Of excite
ment the house began the labors of the

| The Senate.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-When the SEN
ate met at noon the appearance of the
chamber was in striking contrast with
the scene presented the day before. The
galleries were all but vacant, and less
tI,an 25 senator's were present to hear
the chaplain's prayer. A quiescent all
prevailed during the reading of the
journal and senators busted themselves
in correspondence or listlessly glanced
over newspapers.
The vice president laid before the sen
ate a communication from Governo
, Altgeld of Illinois. advising the senat'
/ that the State of Illinois, in view of tn
invitation extended to the states by con
gress, had caused to be made and places
in Statuary Hall of the National Capito

CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, Dec. 6.--Acting
upon the decision Of Judge Giffen, that
the recent injunction against the city
officials did not restrain the city council
from making q tar levy for the taxes Of
1893, if legal assessment had been
