THE chairman of the republican state
central committee has called a mooting
of the committee for July 8 to arrange
for the state convention. If the railways
are not clear daft they will send their
attorneys off fishing or hunting about
that time , and leave state politics se
verely alone during this campaign.

THE business organizations of Omaha

/lubliouus of Michigan nro for Blaino.
The senator ought to tell us something
now. These peripatetic senators who go
about announcing that the republicans
huro and there are for Blaine tire grow
ing tiresome. Everybody knows Mr.
Blaine in a favorite , but most republi
cans are convinced that ho is not willing
to bo considered us n candidate and can
not BOO the sense in persistently an
nouncing in the same breath that this
Htato anil that is for him if ho will run ,
but that ho will not bo in the Hold.
THE only way to prevent burglnrlos

are very discouraging to men who depend -
pond upon crime for a livelihood , The

great deal of creditable work In the di
rection of returning stolen goods and
arresting thieves. Just about now it

TIIK JOIl'X DE.MOCnlTlC
The platform of the Iowa democracy
abounds with platitudes. It is an plab-
orate affair , evidently prepared with
much deliberation , and for the avorngo
partisan is a waste of words. Very little -
tlo of it calls for sarfous consideration.
Of course the tariff law is denounced ,
nnd there is a verbose recital of reasons
for thu denunciation. Ono is that it In
creases the costof the necessaries of lifo.
The farmers of Iowa are getting more
for what they have to sell than they
have received before for n number
of years. What articles that
they have to buy cost them
moro than they did a year ago ? Sugar
is ono of the necessaries , nnd it is
cheaper by nearly 2 cents a pound
than before the now law nmdo It frco.
What Uoos this moan for the people of
Iowa ? There are about four hundred
thousand families in that state , and
estimating that the annual saving from
the reduced orlco of sugar will avorngo
3o jxsr family , the showing is that tlio
people of Iowa are benefited by this ono
Horn of free sugar to the amount of
$2,000,000 a yonr. Do the democrats
want to restore the sugar duties , and if
not , how do they propose to replace the
loss of revenue from the remis
sion of these duties ? The platform
makes no reference to reci
procity , which is directly in
the interest of the airricultural produc
ers , and in the promotion of which frco
sugar plays an important part. Are the
democrats of Iowa prepared to sacrilico
reciprocity ? How is it about other
necessaries , as clothing , hats , boots and
shoos ? Who does not know that these
can bo bought ns cheaply now. of like
quality , as a year ago ? The interior
department has just concluded contracts
for supplying the Indian bureau next
year , Involving an expenditure of
$2,500,000 , and nearly everything except -
copt agricultural nroducts was offered -
fored at a lower price than last
year. On the few articles that are
higher the advance is inbignill-
cant , and is offset ton to ono by the
lower values of other articles. People
who have practical experience regard
ing prices know that most of the neces
saries affected by n tariff have not ad
vanced in price since the present law
went into effect , and it is a rolluction
upon the intelligence of voters to assort
otherwise. The well informed farmers
of Iowa cannot bo misled by any such
misrepresentation.
Tlio platform favors the free coinage
of silver , but whether or not this is in
tended to bo understood as unlimited , seas
as to take in the silver of the world , can
not bo determined from the language
used. At any rate the position
antagonizes. the democracy of
the cast , and will have a very important
Inliuonco In determining the sentiment
of more than ono doubtful stato. It
would seem to say very decisively that
the democracy of Iowa does not sympa
thize with the views of Grover
Cleveland regarding silver , and the ef
fect of this can only bo to intensify the
differences within the party i-egarding
this Question. In view of the fact that
the adherents of Governor Boies regard
him as a-i 'available candidate in
the event of his re-election , for
the vice piosiduncy on the ticket
of 1892 , the position taken on
the silver question would indicate that
they do not expect Mr. Cleveland to bo
the next candidate of the nomocracy for
the presidency.
The plank favoring liberal pensions
for the old soldiers is conspicuously in
consistent with the denunciation of the
appropriations of the lust comrross. by
far the greater part of which applies to
pensions. The insincerity of democrats
regarding pension legislation , however ,
is nothing now , and the old soldiers of
Iowa will know how to estimate at its
true value the professed solicitude for
their interests of the Iowa democrats ,
A Jl'B.t/v GASDIDATK.
Governor Boies ought to provo to bo a
weak candidate if the intelligent farm
ers of Iowa will seriously consider his
course during his brief public career.
In what respect has ho shown himself to
bo the friend of the producers of the
state ? What has ho done to advance
their interests or promote their wel
fare ? In the election of two years ago
ho received the votes of anti-monopoly
republicans who distrusted the republi
can candidate. Boles hud always pro
fessed to bo opposed to the exactions
of the railroad corporations , and it
was presumed , although ho had
changed his party alllliatlon , that ho
still felt that way. But the fact Is that
Iowa has never had a governor that
proved himself a stronger friend of the
corporations. They have boon entirely
safe during his administration , and
doubtless they will bo found rondy to re
pay his consideration for them by using
all their Intlucnco for hla ro-oloction ,
confident that if ho is continued in
o ill co their interests will not bo inter
fered with. The farmers of Iowa must
also have the fact impressed upon them
that Governor Boles has done them
greater injury through his misrep
resentations of their condition than ho
could repair in a score of years zealously
devoted to that ono purpose. There has
never boon another instance , so far as
wo know , of the governor of n state de
liberately proclaiming to the world the
virtual bankruptcy of its people , and
practically warning capital that it would
bo unsafe to have dealings with them.
Governor Boles enjoys alone , woboliovo ,
the unenviable distinction of having
struck a blow at the prosperity and wel
fare ol his state in order to attest tho'
ardor of his partisanship. By way of
showing his hostility to republican
policy , which but a few years before ho
approved , Governor Boies did not hesitate -
tate to in olToct advlso the eastern in
vestors in Iowa farm mortgages to foreclose -
close whenever the money duo them was
not forthcoming. At a time when
alarmists and domngoguos were sending
out reports of the destitution of western
farmers and greatly magnifying the
mortgaged indebtedness of this section ,
the governor of Iowa told tin assemblage
of democrats in Now York city that the
people ho represented were practically
insolvent and that their situation was
steadily growing worse , thus giv
ing the authority of his high post-
tlon and his presumed famili
arity with the condition of af
fairs in Ida state , to the damaging mis
representations of the irresponsible trn-
ducors of the west. Ills oourso in this
matter is without parallel in the hiiilory
of the country ,
The unpardonable wrong done the
state of Iowa in this matter by Governor
Bolos , together with the undoubted fact
that ho IB the friend of the corporations ,
ought to insure nn overwhelming oppo
sition to him on the part of the farmers
and all who are in sympathy with their
interests. If ho had all the qualities of
statesmanship ascribed to him by his
most ardent friends they would not out
weigh the faults which render him un
worthy of the confidence nnd support of
nn intelligent , industrious and honest
peoplo. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
TIIK ASYLUM SOAflDAL.
The board of public lands nnd build
ings although obstructed In its efforts
by weaknesses in the law nnd want of
funds for this specific purpose are pro
ceeding witlr the investigation into the
management of the asylum for incurublo
insane at Hastings with commendable
vigor. The duplicuto vouchers have
been tabulated by the board
and other clerical discrepancies are
ready to bo laid before them in system
atic order so that the existing facts maybe
bo roauily determined and the explana
tions , if any , of I ho accused olllcials
offered intelligently. The ofllcors in
volved in the charges have already ap
peared by attorney and have boon
cited to present themselves in
person for examination. The scan
dalous accusations against the
moral behavior of ono of the
ofllrlals are also in possession of the
board , with the names of witnesses by
whom it is claimed the charges will bo
proved.
The board , under the law , is not ex
pected to present any ovldonco to the
governor until after its examination is
completed , and Us findings have been
agreed upon. Within six days after the
Investigation Is completed , the law
makes It the duty of the board to lay the
facts and the conclusions of that body before
fore the governor , who is expected to re
view the same and from such review of
the ovldonco determine his course of ac
tion. The board has no authority to
impaach or roinovo officers of
the public Institutions. It sits
in such v\i > oi as a board
of inquiry. The governor alone can
remove the officials , and with the gov
ernor therefore rests the final responsi
bility in these cases should the accusa
tions bo sustained by evidence.
The board moots with a serious
hindrance at the threshold of the ex
amination. Except the 32,000 ap
propriated for a contingent fund
to bo used by the governor of
the state there is absolutely no money
available for the investigation of these
or any other accusations against officials
of the state institutions. It is probublo ,
if the governor were so disposed , a portion
tion of this sum could bo legally used in
paying the expenses of this investiga
tion. Whether the executive will au
thorize its use is another ques
tion. Probably"not. . " However ,
the board may feel entirely
safe In pursuing its plain "duty. The
next legislature will cheerfully and
promptly appropriate moneys for the in
vestigation nnd will also provide by law
for just such investigations aa the cir
cumstances now require.
The people are with the board and
will sustain them in thoroughly investi
gating the asylum , no matter what maybe
bo its expense They , will not bo satis
fied with anything short of a searching
inquiry and it is clearly the purpose of
the board to go to the bottom of all the
charges of inefficiency , irregularities ,
corruption and Hastiness which have
brought this institution and its officers
into disrepute.
THE Navajo Indians are not involved
in the difficulties reported from Koams
Canon , Ariz. The Indians at that
point are Moquls. They and the Navajos -
vajos are not on speaking terms for two
reasons. First , because their languages
are entirely distinct , and second , be
cause the Navajos , from time Immem
orial , have robbed their little cowardly
neighbors. The wars between the tribes
have driven the Moquls to the rocky
mesas for habitation , though their fields
are in the valleys below. The Moquis
are good fanners. The Navajos arc
stock growers. The tribes are as dis
tinct ns Bedouins from Hottentots. The
present show of hostility on the part of
the Moquis is surprising , for nothing has
hitherto bbon more terrifying to them
than a Navajo , except an American
ci.valryman. The medicine men of the
tribe nro responsible for the sudden re
sistance of the Moquis. They v/ill not
fight. They are merely making their last
stand against the policy of the govern
ment , which has forbidden the horrid
snake dances , commanded them to place
their children in school and make their
habitations in the valleys fuatcad of
on the rocks. There la no just ground
for the rumors that the "Navajos are
acting hobtilo on account * of the
Moquls. They would cheerfully assist
in annihilating thorn if called upon so to
do. The only reason for confusing the
two tribes and expressing fears of a Na
vajo war Is in the fact that the govern
ment has confided the custody of the
Moqui reservation and people to the
Navajo Indian agent. A .war " with the
Navajos would moan business. They are
the best ana bravest of the southwestern
tribes. War with the Moquis is fraught
with as little danger to the whites as an
attack of wolves upon rabbits would bo
to the wolves.
