XO MOIIE MISTAKKS 7.V JOI1M.
The republicans tI Iowa who as
semble in sthto convention nt DCS Moinoa
this week have an opportunity to ro-
trlovo thomsolvcs from their recent defeats -
feats in state elections and to achieve n
victory that will be as significant as it
will bo decisive. For two successive
terms a democratic governor has hold
sway at the capitol , not because of any
predoliotlon of the people for demo
cratic ollluora , but solely on account of
the mistaken pulley of the republicans.
In taking up the prohibition issue and
in continuing to bilstor up the statute
after it has repeatedly proven to bo cjn-
trury to tlio wisho.j of many of the
largest communities , the republicans
have simply courted defeat.
The Sioux City Joumul describes the
situation in an ublo article , and calls
upon the delegates to bo wise in time.
It&ays :
The Journal challenges the consclonco nml
the Intellect of the republicans of Iowa , nay ,
of those \vlio have cnnutod nml tested tlio
oxUtlng liquor code , whothar It has not
fallen short of tlio ends desired , anil whether
It ought not , therefore , now to bo amended ,
This is the very truth. Tlio law has failed ,
It has coino short of its purpose , und it
ought , on this reason , to bo changed. The
people of Iowa demand that It bo eliangoil.
It will bo uhnngod. Will the republican
party make the changot Th.it Is the ques
tion. It is only a question a * to the candor
of the republican party in its action at Dos
Molncs.
This Is the whole thing In a nut shell.
The republicans of Iowa have ample ma
terial from which to select their candi
dates for governor and for the remaining
state ofllcos. If they take the matter
under consideration and act with delib
eration they cannot fail to plnco these
candidates upon a platform that will
bring to Its support all who are really
intrenched behind republican princi
ples. The results of the last presiden
tial election show how Iowa republicans
stand when freed from the complications
of the prohibition issuo. If they keep
free from such entanglements the pres
ent contest will have a similar outcome.
CAV our.
The chancellor of the Stnto unlvorsitj
at Lincoln informs us'thut u report is
being circulntod to the effect that the
limits of registration ut the university
huvo boon ronchod nnd thut no more
students need npply for enrollment Ir
September. ' To this ho wishes us to give
the widest possible denial und , in oxplu
nation of the report , lie suys that ho luii
been obliged to limit the number o
students for the coming year to 1,500 ,
but that that number bus not yet boon
reached. This request on the part o !
the chancellor is perfectly proper ani
wo hustori not only to comply with ii
but also to make a suggestion or two as
to h'ow he may make tlio host use of tht
inudcquuto appropriations which tin
last legisluturo placed at hia disposal.
The purpose of the State university is
as wo conceive it , to furnish that highoi
education which it is beyond the proving
of the local authorities to give. Second
ary instruction has with us been lof
everywhere to the localities and wo ar <
justified in relying upon them todothol
duty. What the chancellor should d
then , when ho finds that ho must limi
the number of attendants at tho-Stat
university , is to cat off first thos
who are needlessly consuming th
funds for what is really propnrator
work. The state is under no obligatio
to supply a high school to the citizens c
Lincoln. Lot the school children of th
capital got their preparatory Latin i
the Lincoln High school and let the ecoi
omizing begin with the so-called prepui
atory Latin school which is no nccossar
part whatever of the university.
If there is required still further .ecoi
omy the school of music will affor
ample scope for the axo. The state hi
not been instituted particularly to pa
the music touchers of the Lincol
prodigies. The university has enoug
to do to give a broad goi
oral education without wastin
its resources upon technical pursuits. ' .
the musical geniuses of the state are tc
poor to proceed with their studiosthor
uro many institutions waiting to dovelc
them us soon as they show undcniubl
evidences of talent. The chancellor ii
sists that ho la unwilling that "u sing ]
child bo deprived of the advantages s
wisely and freely offered by the stato.
3 There IB no necessity of depriving
single child of these legitimate advn :
tuges. The sincerity of the chancelh
will bo best shown by a judicious use
3 the pruning knife.
MOHK NATIONAL HANK CUllllENCY.
Senator Voorheos , chairman of tl
sonuto committee on llnunee , yostordi
introduced a bill to allow national banl
to issue notes to the pur value of tl
government bonds deposited to FCCU
circulation. The introduction of tli
measure was accompanied by a lott
from Secretary Carlisle approving t !
proposed legislation. It is undursto
to bu the intention to press the bill , ui
it is not improbable that it will pass tl
senate within the current week. It
to bo presumed that it will e
11
counter no opposition from the ropn
n licans , and in that case it oug
to puss with very little delay , thou
it is to ho expected it will ho opposed
Boino of the democratic senators w !
have hlthurto manifested nn implacal
hostility to the national banks. .As
the fate of such a measure in the hoi
Pas no confident prediction can safely
as made , tlDiigli it is probable it woi
ts paw that b'jily after a struggle. Tlio
itb is unquostionaby a large contingent
b3 - democrats in the house who i
3Ol strongly opposed to doing anything tl
Ol will benefit the banks , whatever I
10 measure of advantage might bo to t
public. They would llku to sea t
I' national banking system wiped out u
state banks take its place. Some
these men represent constituencies wli
have little use for banks of i
od kind and which regard the natio
oda
a banks us being a vast monopoly , c
tig stantly conspiring against the iutorc
tigo
o- and welfare of the pooplo. Every fi
oo
o- uro of a national bank is huilod by th
oho
ho portions us evidence that the en tire e
he torn is untrustworthy nnd dungorc
With the democrats In the house hojl
to the banks will bo joined the popull
JB3 and this combination may bo able to
etrust nnd delay the proposed logli
tiou , if nothing more. A union of
I
republicans and the democrats who are
not hostile to the banks will , however ,
doubtless give sufllclont support to the
measure to pats it In the house , whllo
the endorsement of Secretary Carlisle Is
ample assurance that It would rocolvo
the prompt approval of the president.
There is no valid objection to allowing
the national banks t3 issue noto.i to the
par value of the government bonds de
posited in the national treasury to ao-
cure circulation. All the covornmont
bonds are selling at a premium except
the 2-pcr con'-a , and undoubtedly those
would go nbovo par if the proposed
legislation should ho onuctod , so that
the guarantee is-absoluto. If the bill
introduced by Senator Voorhoos should
become law there wovdd bo added to
the currency , as soon as the notes
could bo printed , about 820,000,000 , , but
It is probable the increase would not stop
with tli is. Tlio banks would buy more
bonds , oven at u moderate advance In
price , so that it is a safe estimate that
the result of this legislation would bo to
add perhaps $40,000,000 , to the currency
within a few months after its enact
ment , nnd it is hardly necessary to say
that the country could not bo given a
safer or u bettor currency. If it were
assured that the proposed measure
would become law within the next thirty
days it would have a wonderful influence
in removing distrust and restoring con
fidence. .
TIIK HUMMDX SKXSK VIB ) ! ' .
A prominent eastern manufacturer recently -
contly remarked that this country is just
as rich as it was six months ago , that
the needs of consumers are just as great ,
and that as soon as congress shall enact
the proper legislation there will follow
a complete restoration of , confidence
which will cause the tide of prosperity
again to sweep over the land. The wel
fare of the country rests with thu people ,
said this practical business man , and
there is no occasion for us to lose con
fidence in ournolvos. This is the com
mon sense view of the situation which
everybody ought to try to adopt and act
upon.
A like view was presented in a recent
speech by Governor McKinley of Onio.
lie appealed to the people of that state
to help in the work of restoring the con
fidence which is needed to revive busi
ness and start the wheels of industry
once more. This is not a time , said thu
governor , for complaining and growling.
Every man who bus money must have
faith in the banks ; that will beget faith
in the people on the part of the hanks.
The withdrawal of deposits from the
banks means a limiting of thu circula
tion , and to the extent. that the
currency resources of the banks
are thus reduced their ability tc
meet the requirements of business if
curtailed. As Gavornor MuKinloy ox.-
pressed it , ovury single dollar .which if
hoarded is like taking a drop of blood
out of the vitals of business. Evorybodj
understands that this practice is mainly
responsible for the scarcity of currency
There is plenty of money in the country
notwithstanding the assertion of th <
free silver advocates to the contrary
but the largo amount that is being hole
out of circulation constitutes a contrac
tion sufficient to cause serious trouble
and to greatly aggravate the dillicultio :
of the situation. In some of the. inarm
facturing centers the employers of lurg (
numbers of people , finding it impossibli
to obtain currency for mooting their paj
rolls , have resorted to certified banl
checks in place of currency , but all can
not do this and some have been compelled
polled to reduce their force of employe :
for no other reason than their in
ability to got currency with which t (
pay them. Thus the withdrawal frou
the banks and the hiding away of currency
roncy has its share of responsibility fo
the fact that there is so much labor uu
employed.
It would seem that these whoso feat-
led thorn to adopt this mistaken coursi
ought to by this time see their error am
lose no time in returning ; thci
money to the banks whore 3
could bo loaned to responsibl
business men and once more got int
circulation. So far as their polic
tends to restrict business .and ontorprisi
they are themselves losers in coinmo
with o very body olso. As has boon point
only said , they are engaged not only i :
pulling the house down on the rest o
the community , but on their own hond
us well. Fortunately the situation i
clearing in a way that gives promise o
speedy relief oven if the currency hoarders
ors should not bo persuaded to abando :
their fears and restore to clrculatioi
the money they have in hiding. Abou
$10,000,000 , in gold arrived in Now Yor
last week and there is more coming" . I
is stated that there is now in that cit
or on the way there about $25,000,000 (
gold of which there was absi
lutely no promise when coi
gross was called in extraordinut
session , und bankers express the opini (
that before the frost comes wo uhti
have received at least $ -10,000,000 :
gold. Much of this will go into circul
tlon at once , and the probability is th
it will ho supplemented within the no :
thirty days by from $1(1,000,000 ( to $2 (
It 000,000 of now issues of national bat
notes from the banks in the larger citi
of the east. It is the opinion of tl
10 manager of the Now York clourii
lea house that this influx of gold , this i

of IT is stated thut measures will bo :
uh traduced in both brunches of congri
ny relating to the old problem of the co
nyml
mlm petition of the Canadian Pacific rulhv
m- with the American trunk lines. Amo
its these who have been giving careful
II- tontlon to thii > matter nnd Is strong
opposed to the existing order of thii
fa is Senator Hlggins of Delaware , who
ns. tends to introduce u bill on the subji
lie at an early day. Raprosontatlvo Ilitt
ts , Illinois will also introduce a bill blmil
3b- to the one ho introduced near the clef
luho of the last congress , to regulate the ,
, ho Uro subject of trafilo relations on our C
ndiun and Mexican Ardors. It Is the view
of Senator Iligginsi that the Canadian
railway coninotltfoftf In the carriage of
American goods i c pai Canada to an
other point in the United States ought
lo bo entirely cutW ! so a4 to place the
whole traffic in lfipttontrol ( of the Amer
ican roads. He tloos not bollovo that
foreign corporation's1 ought to compete
for American truhlc , any more than
foreign vessels arwallowed to engage in
the domestic coji tftig trndo , whether
they comply wlth.ivho Interstate com
merce act or -Representative ' Hltt
takes the view th ks American roads
nro placed at a - disadvantage by the
interstate commerce act compensating
restrictions should bo imposed on
their rivals. IIo proposes a license to
do business In the United States , to bo
grunted the Canadian railways , subject
to revocation for violation of the terms
of the license and involving the con
dition that the olllcors of the forulen
roads shall at all times appear before
the Interstate Commerce commission
with their books.nnd papers in obedience
to the orders of the commission. Un
doubtedly there will have to bo some
modification of the highly advantageous
privileges which the Canadian roads en
joy from this government , but any
attempt to entirely cut oil this com
petition will moot with most determined
opposition from Now England and the
northwest. .
MISSOURI is now reported to bo taking
a bund in suppressing some of the bond
investment swindles. The secretary of
state says that they are in the nature of
lotteries and fraudulent und that the ut-
tornoy general will institute quo wur-
rnnto proceedings to have the charters of
these annulled which managed to secure
Incorporation in thut stato. These com
panies prey upon the poor and helpless ,
they thrive unon the universal desire to
got something for nothing , they evade
thu statutes which were enacted to regu
late such institutions. The rich can
usuilly look out for themselves , but the
defenseless poor require public protec
tion. Iloro is the field for official inter
vention.
IT is noticeable how rapidly every
great improvement in which Mr. Hitch
cock has been interested has boon "ex
pedited. " The now postofllco has beer
building four years und has not yet got
ten upon its foundations. Work on the
club house of the Omaha club has beer

never interfered with "expediting" the
payment of the m iioy for which Hitch
cock has benevolently unloaded his prop
erty upon an unsuspecting purchaser.

Chicago Post : What is moro , the case Is
worthy of the pleaders. It is not alone the

It is the cause of protection on protection's

will do his mightiest to avert a defeat that
would meau for bltn and his cause a linal
overthrow. It "will bo a glorious light.
Boston Advertiser : The man who said ,
nnd induced his party to say that "tho McKinley
Kinloy tariff law enacted by the Fifty-ilrst
congress" is "tho culminating otrocity of
class legislation" is the ono man in nil the
state of Ohio who can most lltly try conclu
sions at the Ohio polls with William MuKin-

and shining illustration of the once familiar

Philadelphia Lodger : The election cam-
palu'u in Ohio this fall will be on tariff Hues
the Mclviuloy bill versus the resoluion de
claring the tariff a fraud. Lawrence T. Ncal ,
the author of the tariff plank which was
iguorod by Cleveland , has boon named for
governor und ho will have a bard ilcht In a
state already republican. The platform de
clares for free coinage of silver and a repeal
of thfe prohibitory 10 per cetu tax on state
bank issuos. Altogether the democracy of
Ohio will bo pretty thoroughly handicapped
in their light. Neither candidate nor plat
form is likely towin for them the votes ot
