BRIBERY OF IOWA LEGISLATORS.

There have been several instances
in which bribery has been shown TO
have occurred in the Legislative his
tory of Iowa. Perhaps the most
striking case was i'm connection with
the election Of the first United States
senators from Iowa. 1t created no
small stir in 1876 when Nelson
King. member of the house of rep
resentatives from Keokuk county,
arose i'm the midst of a session and
announced that several offers of
money and other rewards had been
made to obtain his vote for Augustus
Caesar Dodge as senator. The story
of the resulting investigation with
the exciting encounters and dlsclos-
ures incident TO it. is entertainingly
told by Miss Ethyl Martin in the Iowa
Journal of History and Politics. The
wings made the most of the occasion
to berate the corruption of the demo-
cratic party and the already intense
party animosity was brought to white
heat.
According to Kings story S. L.
Marshall had released him from Ger
tain Indebtedness offered him 500 or
any amount he wanted in the future.
and added to these the Offer to put
him in IL good Office and to make a
gentleman of him (Sing) If he would
Just vote for Dodge" King finally
made an agreement with him because
| of his wish, as he afterwards expressed
| 1t, Ito blow all such corruption out of
| existence
An investigating committee was APP
| pointed subpoened witnesses and tried
| Marshall. amid great party excitement.
| The newspapers Joined in the fray.
A. II. Palmer published in the Reporter,
of Iowa City, insinuations as to the
| previous bad character of King. This
| was endured for some time by King,
| but finally enraged by the charges that
| he had been guilty of stealing bacon
and making an assault with intent
to KILL" he yielded to his wife's urg-
ing that he visit summary punishment
upon his slanderer. AS Palmer left the
| committee room one day, King, burly
| pioneer, pounced upon him and was not
restrained until he had bestowed
plentiful blows of his fists upon the
more puny form OF the editor. The fact
that King carried u pistol at the time
gave the democrats chance to make
much of the matter
The Investigating committee un-
earthed other apparent attempts at
bribery. The fireman OF the house of
representatives testified that Colonel
1 William Patterson. through offers OF
pecuniary reward to the. needy legis-
lative servant. had prevailed upon him
to approach Representative Clifton and
try to purchase his vote for Dodge.
/ The fireman was unsuccessful. Clifton

SOUNDS LIKE A FAIRY TALE.
The Farmer. of Central Canada Reap
Wheat and Riches.

The Farmers of Central Canada Reap
Wheat and Riches.
Up in the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, the prov
inces that compose Central Canada
have such quantity of land suitable
for the growth of small grains, which
grow so abundantly, and yield SO hand
somely that no fear need be feared
of a wheat famine on this Continent.
The story reproduced below is only
one of the hundreds of proofs that
could be produced to show the results
that may be obtained from cultivation
Of the lands in these provinces. Almost
any section of the country will do as
we'll.
With the country recently opened by
the Grand Trunk Pacific, the latest of
the great transcontinental lines to en-
ter the field of the development of the
Canadian West, there is afforded added
ample opportunity to do as was done
in the case cited below:
To buy section of land, break it
up and crop 1t, make SIT 1850 out of the
yield and $10,SS0 out of the increase
of value all within the short period
of two years, was the record estab-
lished by James Bailey, well-known
farmer within a few miles of Regina.
Mr.. Bailey bought the $40 acres of
land near Grand Coulee two years ago.
He Immediately prepared the whole
section for crop and this year had 600
acres of wheat and 40 acres of
oats. The wheat yielded 1885 bush
els, and the oats yielded 1850 bushels.
The whole of the grain has been mar
keted and Mr.. Bailey is now worth
$50 from the grain alone. He
bought the land at S18 an acre, and
the other day refused an offer of s35
an acre, just s17 advance from the
time of his purchase. The land cost
