Mil. ELGUTTJiii's suggestion for the

WILLIAM , emperor of Prussia : "I

czar of Russia , to the Gorman minister :

THE blgniflciint fact in connection
with the Iowa municipal elections , so
far as reported , is the growing senti
ment against prohibition which they
show. In most cases whore this policy
was a local issue or played any part in
nn election the result was adverse to it.
A hotter judgment can really bo formed
of the trend of popular sentiment from
this municipal expression than from a
general vote , nnd this being so'it is
clearly evident that prohibition IB stoad-
ilv losing ground in Iowa , This show
ing ought to have some influence with
those republicans in the legislature who
are not so blinded by prejudice that they
ore incauablo of seeing any light.

in the fact that ho is not an intriguing
politician , like Hill nnd Gorman. But
lie has a very positive claim to the good
will of the democrats of the Keystone
atato in the fact that during two terms
us governor ho has given the people
clean and orcdltablo administrations
nnd hits shown himself worthy as a pub
lic man of the confidence of the people.
The corporations , however , have no use
for Governor Pattison , nnd as these

1 porhnpsright in the opinion that Senator
Palmer of Illinois la too old to bo a can-
dldato for president , but the senior
member of the Interstate Commerce
Commission will hardly run the veteran
out of the race for this reason. The
fact ia that General Pulmor has , within
the last few years , done moro for the
democratic party of lib atuto than any
other 11 vo raua in it , and his old ago is
of n very vigorous kind , which gives
promise of a number of years of activity.
At ) to Mr. Morrison , his name lias hardly
boon considered in connection with the
presidency outsldo of a httlo coterie of
personal friends whoso inlluonco prob
ably does not extend beyond hlu old con
gressional district. There is hardly a
possibility that Illinois will furnish the
domocrntia candidate for president , and
In any event there are several men in
that stnto who would bo preferred to

The adoption of the resolution of the
house committee on rules , setting apart
tliroo days for the consideration of the
Blnnd silver bill , was a doclHlvo victory
for the democratic advocates of the frco
and unlimited colnniro of silver. The
majority in favor of the resolution was
overwhelming , and equally significant
were the majorities that sustained the
rulings of the speaker on parliamentary
questions raised against the considera
tion of the resolution before the reading
of the journal. A rule of the present
house provides that it shall always bo
in order to call up for consldoiatlon a
report of the committee on rules , giving
to that committee the most arbitrary
power. The ruling of the speaker was
that a report from that committee could
bo considered before the rending of the
journal of the preceding day's proceed
ings , nnd this was sustained by n largo
majority and a precedent thereby fully
established which clothed a committee
of the house with a power never before
possessed by any ono committee of that
body.
The nnti-freo silver democrats fought
hard , but they were vanquished at
every point. They delivered some
blows , however , which the supporters
of frco silver inny feel hereafter. The
speech of Mr. Williams of Massa
chusetts , representing the sentiment of
the eastern democracy regarding silver ,
was an unequivocal rebuke of the domi
nant element on the democratic sldo of
the houso. "Tho organization of this
house1 hn slid , "hud boon diractod to
ward forcing this question upon the
country , " and ho declared that the people
plo of the north were not yet ready tojjo
into national bankruptcy and pay 70
cents on the dollar. The tone and
spirit of the speech ot Mr. Williams in
dicate the sentiment of all custom dem
ocrats on this question , but the result
attests that the democracy of the south
and west are iudllToront to the views of
tlio mon of the oast. Of the eighty-four
votes cast against the resolution of the
committee on rules only six of the dem
ocrats can properly bo classed as south
ern members , and these are from the
borJor states.
The result shows that the free coinngo
mon are well organized and determined ,
and warrants the expectations that they
will bo able to pass the Bland silver bill
when it comes up for consideration and
action on March 22. There is of
course a possibility that they may not
bo able to accomplish this. A few of
the democrats who voted for consideration
tion of the measure may not support it
when it is put on its passage , and most
of the republicans who voted for consideration
sidoration will certainly vote against
the bill whan action is taken on it or not
vote at all. But tho' chances nro
largely in favor of the passage of the
bill. It is thought probable that the ro-
publlcans opposed tp free coinage , who
comprise 85 per cent of their member
ship in the house , will decide to leave
the whole responsibility for this legisla
tion upon the democratsbut oven should
they unite with the unti-freo coinage
democrats it is doubtful whothor-thoy
could dofoai the proposed legislation.
After the earnest efforts that have boon
made by Mr. Carlisle , Mr. Mills , and
other democratic leaders to effect a post
ponement of this issue , the action of the
house on Monday indicates that the
free silver mon are irrevocably joined
to their idol.
The Philadelphia Jtccorder says , re
garding immigration and the immi
gration laws : "Taking the immigration
as a whole , especially from its main
sources of Great Britain aud Ireland ,
Germany and Scandinavia , it is as in
telligent , as thrifty , and us fit for Ameri
can citizenship now as at any former
period. All things considered , the laws
relating to immigration have gene quite
far enough in the way of restraint.
What remains is to enforce existing
legislation to prohibit the landing of
paupers nnd criminals , but as to the
general policy of immigration this
country is not yet ready to bo fenced
in. " This is the view that now gen
erally obtains among these who have
given the most intelligent investigation
of this question and uro ublo to consider
it without prejudice.
\Tho importance of the subject every
body admits. The demand that nobody
bo permitted to como into this country
who is not qualified to become a good
and useful citizen is acquiesced in by
all the pooplo. But in the process of
sifting there is no valid reason why wo
should go beyond the existing re
strictions , if these are rigidly adhered
to. No man in the country , perhaps ,
has mndo a moro thorough investigation
and intelligent study of this subject than
Senator Chandler of Now Hampshire ,
chairman of the sonnto committee on
immigration , and ho has como to the
conclusion that there is no present nec
essity for considering now exclusions of
immigrants. Ho says the existing laws
are wisely framed BO far as they go ,
and their present strict enforcement ,
which should bo made even moro rigid ,
will do much to quiet alarm and avert
danger. Ho suggests now legislation
simply to moro effectually keep out per
sons now proscribed. "There ought to
bo no political differences , " ho observes ,
"to prevent a unltod demand for an
honest , faithful , and effective enforce
ment of our present Immigration and
naturalization laws , and for all helpful
additions thereto which can bode
do vised. " Some additions which ho
behoves would bo helpful Saunter
Chandler has suggested , most of which
are to bo commanded.
The question is ono-for purely prac
tical consideration , and ought to have
nothing to do with partisan politics.
As our Philadelphia contemporary from
which wo have quoted iibova judiciously
remarks , this country ia not yet ready
to bo fenced In. There Is hardly any
part of it whore Industries nnd thrifty
people from the old world cannot find
opportunity to better their condition ,
and in doing that add to the producing
and consuming power of the country.
Wo are ypry far from having raaohod
the limit of development , and so long as
this in the case wo shall bo able to
utilizn foreign muscle that is willing to
work without intorforinc with thp wo'-
faro of domestic brawn. At , the : iino
time it is well t < i remember that It is
moro protltablo to feed J,000,000 people
ln our own land than that number several
oral thousand miles away. There ia
some uncertainty as to whether there
will bo any legislation by the present
congress relating to immigration.
There is certainly no urgency for now
legislation on the sub'jpct , it balng suf
ficient for the present that existing laws
bo faithfully and ilghlly enforced.
TIIK FLAG oirs7mv.
There is moro o" loss buncombe In the
proposition to stimulate and tester pa
triotism by kuoplng the national ling
floating over every public school build
ing. Patriotism is not a mere sentimen
tal notion inspired by the perpotun' '
waving of the stars and stripes. It mus'
bo a deep-rooted conviction begotten o
love of freedom. There were no tings on
the public school houses In 177(1 ( but there
were patriots enough In AmerIca -
Ica to promulgate the docht ra
tion of independence nnd wrcsl
the American colonies from the tyran
nical domination of Great Britain ,
There were very few , if any , ll.ijs on
American school houses in 1831 , but a
million young mon volunteered in defense -
fonso of the union and offered their lives
on tlio altar of their country.
it if eminently proper to cultivate
love and. reverence for the stars and
stripes among the young , but there is
such a thing na carrying this speclca ol
patriotism too far. To hoist the flags on
legal holidays only , when there tire
abundant opportunities for the young
and the old to view the emblem of unity
from public nnd private buildings would
scarcely satisfy the demand of these
who have inaugurated the Hag move
ment.
If flags nro to bo placed on all the
school buildings of the city they should
bo hoisted on days when school is in
session. But there is a vast amount ol
the rawest sort of buncombe in Uio
notion that funds appropriated by the
people for educational purposes shall bo
diverted to the purchase of buntinir and
liberty polos. The taxpayers of the
country ewe no such general tribute tote
to the Bon Butler bunting factory.
The expense of flags is by no means a
small matter. There are now or shortly
will bo fifty-five school buildingsin
Omaha. A Hag staff for each school
will cost not less than $30 and the flags
will involve an aaditionul outlay of prob
ably $15 each or a total cost to
begin with of $2,475. The flag which
floats above the United States army
headquarters is what Is known in
the army as a post Hag. It is exposed
to the weather from 9 a. m. until 4 p. ra.
daily except in storms. It is made ol
the very best material and given espe
cial care , yet it has to bo replaced with
a now ono every thrco or four months. It
is safe to say therefore that the school
Hags will last no longer and that throe
will bo required each year involving a
further expense of $2,475 annually for
the maintenance of the flags , assuming
that twenty foot banners would bo se
lected. If smaller flags are adopted the
expense is materially reduced but eight
foot flags cost about $4 each in Omaha
and are not adapted to the larger Build
ings.
In the opinion of Tun BRE there is
moro nonsense than patriotism in this
movement. Four teachers can bo paid
for their services with 82,475 on that
sum will build a two-room frame build
ing in the suburbs. * At this time it
would bo fur moro sensible to increase
the school facilities than to indulge in
the luxury of flags at the expense of the
school fund. Wo believe in the Hag
idea , but not this wasteful application
of the idea.

Farming pays in Nebraska. The ex
perience of every industrious , thrifty
agriculturist in the state establishes
this proposition beyond dispute.
Interviews with a largo number of
fanners in a largo number of counties ,
published in Tim BEK , all contribute
evidence to sustain the proposition that
Nebraska is ono of the best farming
states in the union. Mon who settled
upon homesteads in this stt'to with
scarcely capital enough to buy a team ,
can bo found in almost every township
who arc today Independently rich. They
own their farms , have them well
stocked , live in comfortable houses and
have neat balances to their credit in the
banks. Many others have como into tlio
state with capital enough to begin oper
ations but with no moans to buy land ,
who have begun successful business
careers as farmers by renting land for
cultivation , and are today likewise enjoying -
joying a competency. Of course mon
who commenced with abundant capi
tal have been moro successful in
this as they would bo in any other occu
pation and for the same reasons , but
Nebraska has * been and is now the
" man's " nnd the
"poor country , history
of her farming communities are full of
examples of the fact.
There are millions of untillcd acres in
this stale awaiting the touch of the
thrifty farmer to respond with remunera
tive crops. The experience of last
season following as it did a period of
agricultural misfortune in which
hundreds of farmers raised enough from
their lands by a single year's work to
moro than pay their appraised value is
concliiblvo evidence that this is a poor
man's paradise. It is safe to assort that
the average annual not receipts of
farmers for the past ton years are fully
equal to the average annual assessed
valuation of their Ian da. It is a great
mistake to say that farming does not
pay in thin state , for it is untrue , and so
patently untrue that every experienced
farmer who has boon diligent , sober and
ordinarily skilful in managing his
affairs IB a living example of the un
truth.

Aside from the direct bannflts real
ized by local communities and the state
in general from the development of
sugar boot culture and the construction
of sugar boot factories In Nebraska , the
state has boon extensively advertised
through these mediums. Tlio agricul
tural department at Washington draws
upon Nebraska for a very largo part of
its information regarding sugar t > 30ts.
The department publications are widely
circulated and widely read. The
Dominion of Canada has nlso recently
Lotdiictcd : ] some experiments In sugar
boot growing and all the publications
of that covrHjnont } bearing upon tha
subject are likewise devoted to adver
tising the "h culiarltloa ot Nebraska

Nebraska In fortunately a moro typi
cal agricultural roglon than cither Cali
fornia or Utah. The experience ot our
farmers in this line is of value.to thcso
in all the states of the union east o the
Rocky mountains because the conditions
of soil and cllmato' ' are more or loss
fiimtlar. Utah grows boots by irriga
tion. California's ciimtUo and soil are
altogothnr different from that of this
section. Nebraska therefore , as the
pioneer of siigar boot culture , would bo
immensely bonofilod by the advertising
alone were there no other bonollcinl re
sults achlovud. This Is another good
reason why wo should glvo the boot
sugar industry encouragement.
Tun ordinance granting the chief ol
the lire dopiii'tmont authority to issue
permits to telegraph , telephone and
other electric companys to erect poles
and wires places too much discretion and
power in the hands of that officer. It
should bo amended so ns to place the
authority to grant or refuse purmission
with the mayor or Board of Fire and
Police Commissioners.
TUK south sldo citizens who have
voted unanimously for thrco viaducts at
once have simply done all they could to
prevent , the building of ono. People
should not bo unreasonable in this mat-
tor. By advocating three of thesoneo-
ossary structures at the siimo time they
weaken tlio force of their arguments and
play into the hands of the railways.

The end of 1S91 saw ono anniversary , at
the verj' heart of tnls country , which may
provo to mark an epoch ia the social prob
lems of our time. Three hundred workmen ,
belongiup to the N. O. Nelson Manufactur
ing company of St. Louis , celebrated at Lo-
claire the successful transfer of Its works
from the city of St. Louis to the town which
has taken the name of the great French man.
Joaii'Edmeo Loclalro is the successful head
of the co-oporativo industry in Franco , which
has resulted 10 favorably for thoao who huvo
united iu it. Mr. Nelson Is , so far as I
know , the largest manufacturer in Amarica
who has come cordially Into this system.
SatlstloJ some time slnco that the expansion
of the works of iho Nelson company ro-
quirnd their removal from St. Louis , Mr.
Nelson found In Illinois , not fnr distant from
that city , a proper place for the erection of
now works and for n village for the workmen.
That town'is now well forward , and tbo cele
bration of the 1'JtU of December last may bo
considered as its Ouptisin. The co-operators
gave it the name of Loclalro , as I have said ,
in honor of the great Frenchman.

Kearney Hub.
There nro contingencies m the political
situation nnd combinations which are possi
ble , that will make it necessary for the 10-
publican party to make a unltod campaign
this year if it hops' * to succeed in the stuto.
The party can win , und ought to win. but
it can not hope to win if it is divldod'ugaltist
Itself.
The strength ot the republican party In
Nebraska has been Its weakness. Mischief
grew out of these great majorities which ul-
wnys made a nomination equivalent to an
election ; ana factions , relying upon lu-
vmclblo inaloritios , cut and covered until the'
party bled at every poro. Public servants
chosen by thcso ever certain majorities dia
not always do their duty , and conventions
occasionally failed to resistor the popular
will. Ilonco on independent party in thn
state which fortwo years has hold the scales
aoout ovou with either of the two old
parties.
It Is worse than folly to rake ever the
ashes of the past , but there nro still a few
smoldering embers in those ashes which maybe
bo fanned into u fiarno that Hhall serve as a
light for the future. And now. if the repub
lican party will chouse to'walk m ths
light , ' by facing the future with an honor
able purpose , by healing the wounds und
bruisns that factionalism has produced , and
by making individual ambition siioordlnatc
to public good and party poliov , it can re
cover n great deal of its lost ground and re
tain tbo contrdorico and support ot the voters
of Nebraska for many years to como.
"Lot tbo dead past bury its dead. " In the
presence of an onotny in the presence of
two enemies with our weapons turned upon
each other wo are at the "mercy of attack
from front to Hank. Foolhurdiunss can go no
further.
Now supposing thut republicans stop short
in their soul-stirring occupation of light
ing over again the gubernatorial battle of
1SHO. That Is past. Whotnor Ulchards was
betrayed in his own camp or whether ho was
not is a subject that will fall short of inspir
ing a victory in 1892. The Hub doesn't care
to discuss the merits of the question , but it
docs want to see a republican governor
emerge from the battle ot the ballots next
election day. Even if Omaha defeated the
republican candidate for governor 'in 18U3
( admitting this much for the sake of argu
ment ) it is just as true that tbo votes of that
city saved tbo ropuolican candidate ) for supreme
premo juago in IbOl. So far so good. Now
docs it occur to these who persist iu waging
e. war on Omaha that tbo vote of that city is
very opt to turn tbo scale on the oicctor.il
aud sUte ticket in November ot 1S92 , and
that it may bo worth while to pursue a pol
icy that will secure Omaha's friendship and
consequently her greatest possible vote for
all of the republican ticket on election day (
Hero Is food for thought.
A few \\ecis ago the republicans of cen
trdl and western Nebraska sent uu a crv for
help. They asked for recognition. They
requested that the spring convention bo
brought west , not for themselves alone , but
in the interest of the wbolo party. As n re
sult the convention was sent to Kearney by
a ununitnaus votu of the state committee ! but
that action Is a mattar of so recent , history
that tbe Hub readily remembers that Omaha
republicans nud Tin : OM MIA Bui : were thu
first to respond to that appeal , and thut they
did so without asking favors for thu presenter
or exacting pledges for the future. Cannot
tlio west therefore afford to bo generous j
Can any portion of the west therefore con
sistently join in n hue and cry against
Omaha )
The Hub would have Us readers under
stand that It is not making a special plea for
Omaha or tnat it loves Lincoln loss , or that
it has a special regard for coy partlclar lo
cality. It merely recognizes tha lltnoss of
things. It believes that tlio Kearney con
vention will mark the advent of a now dis
pensation , and that It will bo the presage of
victory through a party harmonized , reunit
ed and inspired by the best sentiments that
spring from the mosses of the people. Itmay
be mistaken , but this mucn it believes ,
and it is moro In sorrow than in anger that It
scos n disposition to tear open old wounds
nud sprlnKlo upon them the pepper and salt
of rancor and recrimination.

MR. KITCHEN TRIES TO GET POSSESSION
' Suit llritiighl hy Illni on Account of
ArriMriiRtM In Itcnt Air. i-istni.in :
( ll\ns Ills VnrUiin of the
l.lttlo Amur ,
Dark nnd ominous clouds of trouble nppoar
to bo looming up ever the Immediate horizon
for the owner * ulid lessees of tlio 1'ftxton
hotel.
The parties most Interested nro Mr. J. U.
ICituhon , principal owner of the property ,
and Mr. Henry A. Eastman , the lossoo.
Mr. KltcUcu has nlroady brought suit to recover -
cover possession of tha nnnox on the west ,
known us the old Herald property , and the
now part used os n kltchon Iu the rear of iho
old Herald bulUllnir.
The question of possession ot the nnnox
will bo decided on Wednesday of this week
1:1 Judge \Vilcox's court.
Mr. Kttcliuii Want * III * Kent.
Speaking of the matter yesterday
Mr. Kitchen said : " 1 want Mr.
Kiistnmn to pay for the rout railed
for in the contract or vacate the
proDcrty , 0110 or the other. Tha reason I
have brought nn notion to recover tmssosslon
of thu annex is tbat the main building belongs -
longs to tbo Kltchun Hotel company , but the
old Herald building nnd thonow mrt nowoo-
ouplcd ns a kitchen belong to mo personally.
On this account there hnu to ho two con
tracts made when the prouerty was leased to
Klttcrldgo & Uruinard , ono signed by
the Kitchen Hotel company , nnd the
other by mo , one for the main building
und the other for thu annex.
"Air. Eastman now holds the property
under tho'io two contracts. They were made
to run ton years , and nbout two'nnd n half
years ot the time have expired. Mr. Eastman
tins refused to pay thu rent for two or three
months nnd 1 luwe , accordingly , brought
action to recover possnsslon of that part of
the property which belongs to mo In person.
1 do not wish to bo Iinrd on the man , bull
don't propose to lot him continue to occuuy
my property without paying rout. Ilo has
given : i number of excuses for falling
or refusing to | uy the rent , but thov uro nil
subterfuges of no weight nnd I can't out up
with them ,
Sujs Iho Con tract Is I'lnln ,
' The contract is ns plain as the nose on n
man's fneo ami there is no legitimate excuse
for his refusal to comply with the terms of
the Inase.
"Mr. Eastman insists that I should make a
lot of repuira , but the contract expressly
suites that the lessee shall keep the building
in good repair at his own oxponso. I didn't
propose to have thorn sondluc n messenger
after mo every dav to have leaks and craclts
repaired. I pot out of the hotel business in
order to got rest , not to be constantly on the
rack attending to minor details about the
hotel.1
Why .Mr. liifltiiiiin KlcUit ,
Mr. Eastman was soun by a BRB reporter
and gave his sldo of the unpleasantness.
"It Is true that Mr. Kitchen has brought
an action in court to obtain possession of iho
annex , and it is also true that. I have refused
to pay rent and can easily explain to you
why I have uuit paying ront. Lot mo show
you the condition of this hous/ > . and Mr.
Eastman led the way to the roof of the
great hostlery. "Look nt these patches I
Sco these holes where the water runs
through and drips down into the
.sleeping apartments and ovou clear
into the parlor , " said the hotel
man pointing to patches ana lenlcv
places in the tin roof. Around the trough at
the outer wall Mr. Eastman pointed to sev
eral places where the tiu Bad rusted and
holes were numerous.
'Now Mr. Kitchen has rpfusod to repair
this roof. Over there where the fire burnt
through several monltis ago that great holu
stood open for live weeks with nil the rain
pouring down on the plastering below.
Kitchen would not have It rop.ilrcd because
I would not sien au agreement that l would
not hold him for any Uamano done to the
furniture by the workmen. "
the
Then going to the area in the center of the
building Mr. Eastman pointed to the tin
work on the ledge nbout tlio largo sky li ht
over thu rotunda saying that ho had to keep
all the snow shoveled out of that place to
prevent a deluge In the ofllco and rotunda
when it began to molt.
"That tin down there Is all rotten , "
said the proprietor "and wo have
to watch it night and day in
stormy weaihor to Ueop the ofllco nnd
rotunda from being soaked by the drippings. "
Mr. Eastman nlso pointed out several
rooms below on the fourth floor that could
not bo used on account of tha ivator dripoing
in through tne roof and keeping them in bad
condition. j
"When I have asked Mr. Kitchen to repair I
the roof ho has coolly told rae to repair it mvI
'
self. Now I can't afford to do it. I urn sa't-
iafled that the Kaso novcr contemplated
repairs of th.it magnitude where it mentions
tlio fact that the lessees are to keep the house
in repair. The hotel ncods a now roof , nnd 1
nm sure that no sane mun could expect n
tenant to go to such uu oxpcnso as that. I
have been paying Mr. Kltchtm & ,5UU per
month for this house , and have stood by it
through the hard tlmos. Now that there is
an opportunity to inuko u Httlo money this
summer Mr. Kitchen seems determined
to fraczo mo out if ho can. Ilo
knows I can't ' afford to put a now
roof on the building nnd I can't run the hotel
without the unnox , for the kltchon U In the
nnnox. That Is the reason that Mr. KHehon "
has cancelled the contract nnd brought suit
to got possession of the nnnox. Ho knows I "
can't got along without that part of the
building. I don't think ho will succeed Iu /
the effort , " f
I own nnil Harrison ,
Slnux Cllu Jmininl.
The effort to take lown nwuy from Harri
son In the Minneapolis convention otieht not
to succeed. If the republicans of the stale
were loft free to ncl upon their own Jiulg.
inonts nnd upon their own Information , town
would bo ( julto cortnln to cast nn undivided
vote for the rcnotnluntloii of President llnr-
rlson.
Thn time liiis never boon slnco 18TO that
Mr. Hlnlno could not hive the vote of town
if ho deslrod It. Ho tloos not tleslro It now.
Ho Is not u camlldnto nnd ho docs not wish
to bo placed In the nttltudo of disputing his
own word. His letter Is accepted as n I
llnnllty by those who really respect his foolL I
Ings and accent his Judgment , If Iowa dofr
sires to follow Mr. IJlalne lot It accept his
conclusion.
If Hcnator Allison thought It wise to outer
the race nt this tlmo , Iowa republicans , us
they did In 18S3 , would bo lnd to giro him
n united and enthusiastic delegation. Hut
the senator makes no concealment of the fact
that ho is not asking such supnoru Morn
thnn that ; ho mattes no concealment that lhx
his Judgment It would no , bo expedient at \ .
this time to accept such support. *
How Is It , then , that talk Is rife that Iowa
will appear nt Minneapolis to oppose the re
nomination of Harrison ? From whence does
the opposition to the president spring ! lown
republicans uro ns well qualified as repub
licans elsewhere to answer these questions
1 lie pntroniiRo Is always the chief weak
ness ot the president. Harrison has not es
enpod offending. His administration , how
ever , mis boon without reproach. It has been
able and it has been clean.
. , V.MV V0".1101,8 ! , " 'in this year they must
tight their battle along the line or thonohlove-
monts of this administration and along the
line of conlldenco in Iho prospective measures
it has Inaugurated. Will they begin the battle
by discrediting the administration t * " *
If thcro were nny good reasons for an ante
convention campaign ngnlnst the ndmlnlstra
tion the case would bo difloront. The reasons
are Hiich as political managers recite svmna-
tactically amoni ; themselves In tlio retirement
mont ol their own society.
To these whoso beam are sot upon any
body to beat Harrison the Ulnlne lotiorwasa
sharp disappointment , for they had counted
much on the great name and the deserved
popularity of the boorotary. They neeited
llrot n cloak for their purpose. The cnso thov
have does not wnrrnnt u light In the open. "
The point with those
nontlomon is to secmo
nn ndmlnistrntion that will feel the obllga
lions of n debt of grntitudo-that will no
knowledge them before the world. Thov are
keen enough to understand thut tlio country ,
the rank and lllo of the republican pnrty In
eluded , docs not care who is turned up or
who is turned down in the cabinet nnd In the
positions of less trust nnd honor , so that the
old ship of stnto is kept well before the wind.
Ihoroforo they nro compelled to press their
opposition by indirection. They call It poll
tics.
It has been sugcostcd that lown send n del
ogntlon to MlnnoapolU for niaino anyway.
W hat does this moan ? Simply that power bo
grunted to choose a delegation to bo mod ns
n club on Harrison. No such foolishness
ought to bo suffered by tbo intelligent repub
licans of Iowa. If it is , it will simply bo be , ,
cause they fell into n trap. It is easier to
keep out of n trap tbau it is to got out ,
