The republicans of Iowa tire preparing
for the contest of 1892 with a judicious
apprehension of what the situation do-
tnntids. The state con von lion , hold on
Wednesday , was dominated by the right
spirit and gave evidence of u determina
tion to make the campaign vigorous * and
aggressive. The platform unqualilledly
approves the nominations made at Min
neapolis nnd the declaration of princi
ples enunciated by the n.itloniil conven
tion. It properly denounced thodomand
of the democratic party , made in its
national platform , for the repeal of the
tax on notes issued by .stato banks , the
effect of which would bo to restore the
wildcat impel1 currency with which the
country was flooded before tlio war , to
the great injury and loss of the pro
ducers and worklngmon who received it.
The democrats in congress have pro
posed that this tax bo abolished , and
the action of the Chicago convention
commits the party to this policy. No
legislation that could bo enacted would
bo moro certainly destructive of the
sound currency system of the country ,
and it is surprising to find any body of
men , intelligently Informed regarding
our currency history , favoring such a
proposition. The republicans of Iowa
have done well in calling public atten
tion to tills plan of the domoc-aoy for
restoring a system which for throo-
quarters of a century w.is a reproach to
the nation. Another matter which calls
for commendation was the refusal of the
convention to Introduce any local issue
into the campaign. Tills yonr national
quojlions are on trial before the sov
ereign tribunal of the people , and all
others can wisely and safely bo loft for
future discussion.
The outlook for the republican party
In Iowa is bright. It is trou from dis
cord or disaffection and is imbued with
n. spirit ot courage and confidence. The
general prosperity of the psoplo Ins
never bosn higher than now , and t'lis
fact , for which there is the testimony of
the same democratic governor who
moro than two years ago deplored the
conditions prevailing there , is an nll-
Bufliciont answer to the democratic as
sertion that the pnonlo have suffered
from the fiscal policy of the republican
party. When the intelligent farmers of
Iowa shall 1mvo balanced their accounts
for the year , which they will have done
before election day next November
comes arounn , and find that income has
exceeded expenditures , oven though the
latter have been moro liberal than
usual , it will not bo possible to deceive
thorn with the false cli irgo of the uom-
ocracy that tlio tariff is robbery and that
reciprocity is n sham.
Knowing that both tlio home and the
foreign inarltots for their products have
been enlarged , with every assurance
that they will steadily expand if repub
lican policies are maintained , and re-
momboringalso that it is the republican
party which has kept the currency
sound and stable against the assaults of
democracy upon the financial integrity
of the nation , the farmers of Iowa , as of
other slates , will rally to the support of
the republican cause as tlio ono which
appeals to their intelligence , their
patriotism and their interests.
SKXATK AA'l ) IIOL'SK AT UDDS.
The effort of the democratic majority
in the house of representatives to make
political capital by paring down appro
priations , regardless of the effect in im
pairing the olllcioncy of the public service -
vice , has very properly been antagonized
by tlio bonato. With the exception of
the river and harbor bill all appropria
tions have boon cut down by the house
committees below the estimates of the
various departments and bureaus of the
government , and in most cases these re
ductions are so largo that damage to the
public business would inevitably result
nnd heavy deficiencies have to bo here
after provided for. The house started
out with the intention of reducing the
expenditures of the government to the
extent of at least $100,000,000 , and while
this idea has boon abandoned as im
practicable the olTort has boon made to
get as near to that amount as possible
without bringing a part of tlio machin
ery of the government to a standstill.
In fcoino oases this cheese-paring1 pol
icy ban provoked the opposition of dem
ocrats themselves. Chairmen of com
mittees , who had at Htaku some personal
reputation for common sense and felt
some concern for the interests of tlio
public service , have vigorously coni'jat-
ted the extreme retrenchment policy as
applied to portions of the public service
for which their committees report ap
propriations. Opposition has also como
from democratic representatives whoso
sections are interested in coiibt defenses
and in the construction of a navy ada-
quato for protection. But with rare ex
ceptions this opposition haa boon futile ,
the majority in the house doggedly ad
hering to the Ilolman pi-in of econo
mizing.
The honato , however , has declined to
bo made a party to a policy inimical to
the public service , and has increased
the appropriations to the amounts or
near them osMmatod to bo necetisiiry by
thu heads of departments and the chiefs
of bureaus. This nocosslt'ito ? confer
ences , and it Iris happened that the re
ports of two of these conferences have
boon rejected by the house , an unusual
proceeding which has quite naturally
caused HJIIIO indignation on the part of
the senate , since in a sense it calls in
question tlio right of the senate to
amend appiopriation bills , Tlio consequence -
sequence is an issue which bids fair to
greatly prolong the session , as senators
tire disposed to Insist upon a pr opcr roc
ogniiion of their prerogatives , while the
democrats in the house threaten to re
main in session all siiiamm- before ac
cept ! ML' the senate amendments increas
ing appropriations , and also to refuse to
pass any resolution extending the ap
propriations for the support of the gov
ernment beyond July 19 , which , If car *
riod out , would bring the public busi
ness to a halt after that date.
It is not the first time that the senate
and the house have boon at odds re
garding appropriations ) , hut wo do not
recall any parallel case to the attitude
of the present houso. Everybody desires -
sires that the oxuondituros of the gov
ernment bo kept within the limits con
sistent with the proper andolllciont con
duct of the public service , but it can bo
demonstrated that most of the appropri
ations passed by the house are below
such limit. His possible that In some
cases the soniilu amendments have in
creased the appropriations more than
necessary , but It cannot bo fairly' quo-
tinned that in the main its course h-i9
boon right , and that now as m my limes
before , when having to sVind between
the interests of the public service nnd
the efforts of a democratic house to
nnilto political capital , It merits the ap
proval of the public.

The lenders of the people's party in
the south declare that they expect to
carry several southern states and will
certainly split the solid south this year.
These who are at the head of this or
ganization in the southern statoa are , or
at least have boon , democratic leaders ,
and It is reasonable to suppose that they
are perfectly familiar with the situation
and well posted tinon the methods by
which the republican vote In their EOC-
tlon of the country has boon suppressed
in the past. Many of the colored people
of the south have joined the people's
partv. it IB claimed , and these former
democratic leaders now say that the
votes of these people shall bo cast and
counted. They propose to give the mater -
or their personal attention , and it can
not bo doubted tint every vote in favor
of the candM'itos of the people's party ,
whether cast by a negro or a whlto man ,
will bo duly recognized as a legitimate
and proper vote.
This is right , and no friend of the
Colored man will question the propriety
of his voting the ticket placed In his
hands by these leaders of the people's
party in the states where the right of
suffrage has hitherto boon denied him.
Lot him do as ho chooses as to parties
and candidates. Whether ho votes the
republican , the democratic or the pee
ple's ticket , lot him have an equal
clianco nt the polls with other men.
That is now and has always been the re
publican principle , and for that prin
ciple the party has contended ever since
the colored man became a votor.
The point to which public attention is
now directed is thatthosoold democratic
managers of the south , having allied
themselves with a new political organi
zation , have entirely changed their at
titude toward the colored voter , it was
impossible to make htm a democrat , but
he looks with no disfavor upon tlio pco-
ulo's aarty , and therefore ho and his old
democratic enemy are for tha first time
able to meet upon a common ground.
Ho is now to bo protected in his exercise -
ciso of the right of suffrage by the very
inon who denied him that right when ho
was a republican and they were demo
crats.
crats.Wo
Wo merely talco these southern
leaders of the people's party at their
word. They say that they will carry
some of the southern states by taking
measures for the protection of tlio
colored votor. They are no longer
democrats nnd have therefore aban
doned the democratic plan for one bet
ter suited to their present purpose. It
is a wise policy. They will now win tlio
votes of many colored men who have
despaired of over being tiblo to secure
their rights at the polls under other
conditions.
This goes to show how truthfully the
condition of the southern negro has been
stntod by the republican party. lie is
to have a bettor chance now that many
of his old democratic enemies have
taken a position which changes iho re
lation between thorn and him. The
people's party is opposing both of the
old organizations , and as its most
promibing field of work is in the south
it proposes to have the votes of the
southern negroes cast and counted. The
results of tlio efforts which the ox-demo
cratic members of the people's party
propose to put forth to this end will bo
looked forward to with interest. They
are well acquainted with the methods
by which the southern states huvo been
kept solid for the democracy because
they have themselves participated in
the practice of these methods. If the
colored man who wishes to vote tlio
people's ticket docs not have the oppor
tunity to do so they will bo likely to
find out the reason why.

Much that it- said by Governor Merriam -
riam of Minnesota in his able article in
tlio 'iiftli American llcuicw for July will
receive the unqualified upprovnl of people -
plo who are acquainted with the great
northwest , which is the subject treated.
After giving some account of the won
derful progress that has been made inx
Iho development of the region referred
to ho speaks of the needs of the country ,
Iho prime essentials to higher develop
ment antl more substantial progress
along the lines of the truest and bust
civilization. First among the dangers
which hosot the now northwest ho men
tions undesirable immigration , and in
this connection ho takes occasion to say
that every individual tainted with com-
iiumism or anurchiKin should bo kept
out by force of legislation. Another
need , ho says. IB the greater participa
tion in public ulValrs by mon of inlluonco
and good character , and ho nllogos that
government is loft too largely to the
ignorant and vicious.
No doubt the needs of which Governor
Merriuin spoak.-i are to a groitor or loss
degree the needs of every community ,
but they are certainly much loss ap
parent In the northwest than in the oa&t
and south. To refer to communism , an
archism , government by Iho ignorant
and vicious , etc. , as conditions of the
civilization of the now northwest is
liable to create erroneous impressions in
the minds of people unacqu ilntcd with
the state of society in the region under
consideration , tie far as outward signs
go it would Boom as if the undesirable
immigration which MOWS the seeds of an
archy in the United States Is very far
from being the kind of immigration that
has populated iho northwest. The people
plo who are developing its vast resources
are conspicuously an industrious and
thrifty clues , and Industry und thrift uro
never found associated with idnas that
are dangerous to social order or healthy
progress.
Nowhere else In the United States is
there BO llttlo rouson for the complaint
that the ignorant and vicious exert too
tjroat an Inlluonco in the mumigamunt
of atfulra. Perhaps the author of the
article referred to would not regard Ne
braska as a part of the northwest , but
In any event it is In the main populated
by a cl-iss similar to that which has
ponntratcd tfto3 whole northwestern
country , and the fact that the ratio of
ignorance is smaller in this state than
in any other in the union goes to show
that there is llttlo ground for apprehen
sion thnt Ignorance and vli'o will gain a
formidable foothold in the now states.
These points are only Incidental In
Governor Morrlam's discussion of his
subject The dangers referred to do
not really exist in a serious form
and it Is to bo hoped that a ( also
impression will not prevail concerning
the state of society .in the now north-
weat. The Immigration that needs to
oo guarded against by moans of legisla
tion is p > educing its evil effects almost
wholly in the great centers of popula
tion , and the perils inseparable from
government by the Ignorant and vicious
are mainly confined to the oast.
Tan South Omaha live ntock market
is at present active , and there is a demand -
mand for hogs especially which oxcocds
the supply , a steady advance In prices
being noted. Advices from all the
packing centers report a scarcity of
hogs ; and the indications tire that they
will go still higher. There Is also a
good demand for cattle and the markets
everywhere are ntrong. This fortunate
situation for stock raisers is largely duo
to the increased export movement , the
result of the opening of European mar
kets to our moat products. The farmers
of tlio country are realizing the benefits
of this , and the more intolllgont among
thorn understand and appreciate the
reasons for it. The condition of the
markets generally evidences the pros
perity of the agricultural interests of
the country , and the outlook is alto
gether favorable.

If onythlnc was nccdocl to ncooiituato the
abilities of 1'rosldent Harrison , It was the
retirement of Socruturv Hlaino. Whllo the
distinguished statesman from Maine occu
pied the important portfolio of the Depart
maul of Stuto the honors of the administra
tion were to a considerable ) degree divided by
the president for his prumlor. Ho inststod
that this ami that honor should bo accorded
to Mr. liiaino , bocnuso it should go to him by
custom. President Harrison has never boon
and never wiH bo the mini to tulco to himself
what would by custom bn regarded as undue
proportion of credit for work donu In con-
lioctlon with others , cvou though ho did it
himself.
President Harrison stands out moro prom
inently todav iu the places where the work
of the govormont is performed than ho has
ovorstooa. As Cnnuncoy M. Uopow roconllv
said , ho could 1111 with signal ability any
position within ilia yitl of tha people or the
government , beginning with the chief justice
ship of the supreme court of the United
States and going out through con gross , every
place in the cabinet , the foreign missions and
lltiully landing into the place he now occu
pies. Siich u variety of unusual ability was
never shown by any president.
Ucorgo Washington may possibly hnvo had
a better Idea of determining tha disputes
which nxistud in his day between this colony
and Mother England und other foreign gov
ernments ; ho may have had ns good a con
ception of what was necessary in establish
ing primary rights in the seas and elsewhere
and enforcing them , but no one tins over been
so prrsumptious as to compare Washington's
legal training to that of Harrison , or to say
that ho was so well acquainted wltb internal
affairs or was equal to domestic emergencies
like Harrison has provou himself to bo on
many occasions.
Whuru Lincoln Wan Stroll ) ; .
Lincoln's great strength was of course In
dealing with questions relating to the war ,
slavery , abnormal condition iu Dortiou of
the country which wore antagonistic to jthor
sections , and healiu ? with the hand of force
or Kindness which had rent the people into
factions. Ho was as much of a humani
tarian and philanthropist as statesman , Harrison
risen would have created measures which
would probablv have averted the great loss
of lifo , while attaining the same results.
Lincoln was uover the lawyer or the diplo
mat that Harrison has developed in himself.
It will not bo till the history of this admin
istration comes to bo written after President
Harrison has retired from his present posi
tion that his services will bo Known. It
would bo on the vcrpo of immodesty for a
friend to tell the wbolu truth in tha most
"unassuming and mattor-of-fact way. It
might also ho contended that Provident
Harrison had attempted to do too much ,
and as it has been said of him by tuobo
who did not like him that ho had under
taken to master all of tbo details of his ad
ministration , and having thorn once in hand
was unwilling to entrust them to others.
This would ho unjust. President Harrison
has gene out of the customary channels to
nerform extraordinary duties and those
properly belonging to others , not because ho
was unwilling to trust hU subordinates , but
because ho loll the responsibilities and
wanted to lend his help.
After all ono star shines out most brightly
only when other stars are shining. A single
star in the llrmamont never appears so very
bright. When the second appears the first
may look moro lustrous , or the jocond maybe
bo the brighter ; but the brljjhtoit of them
all becomes bright only by comparison.
j ; < | ii l to the Situation.
It was only after President Harrison had
taken hold of the treasury's linauco at the
time of the threatened panic of 1SH ! ) , follow
ing up the unmatched management at the
death of Secretary Windom , and when Secretary -
rotary BliUuo crew ill and wont away to
'
rest'that President Harrison's acuteness
of intellect and wonderful powers of adjust
ment to anv and nil conditions ot circum
stances wora brought to the attention of his
cabinet , and it will not bo under four years
that thu country can know half of the truth.
Q'horo has never boon n greater degree of
helf-abneg.ition or modesty shown by any
man in public llfo than bus been evinced bj
President Harrison.
SVlieu , a few months ago , I published an
article in ono of the londttiK poriodlocls of
the country upon the connection of the j
ministration of President Harrison with the '
finances of the country and sketched seine
of the president's work during the very
uncomfortable days of the threatened panto
of 1SOO-1. and the lattor's attention wn
culled to the statements , ho said : "I do not
svtpposo von have overstated the fr.ctn ; 1
was almost constantly occupied with thnt
crisis for several weeks ; bull would Imv
grcatlv preferred thnt the credit shot ) . J
go to Secretary Windom , nnd then " - ito
to Secretary foster. They were n part ait
my administration , and I would rather hnvo
credit and pratxa go to those who hnvo Im
mediate supervision , or nro supposed to hnvo ,
than to go to mo. The country cannot un
dcrstniid how It could bo otherwise , nnd t
run moro than willing to take satisfaction
from praise ot an administration as n whole , "
During thn past eighteen months there
have gone to the senate oommlltooon foreign
rotations nnd nlso to the sonnto committee on
llnanco certain documents in rough draft form
which hnvo attracted widespread atten
tion. They wora in the handwriting
of the president ; but when they
wora rondy for the scrutiny of the
public they appeared as the mnnuuorlpt of
others. The president has shrunk from the
ctedit Ho preferred that it should go to
those whom the public uxnoctcd the work
should otnlnato from , and ho did not want to .s
take from any posttlou tinder him the '
credit for tvorit performed bj the oflleor till
ing the placo. Thn conduct of President
Harrison will ROUIO day provo the truth of
the adaga that modesty Is great only in
great places.
