IOWII 1'ress Comment.
Des Moines Register : Northwestern Iowa
republicans have wonsome notable victories
by "a solid northwest , " but they are tomahawking -
hawking each other this year.
Davenport Democrat : Iowa hasn't a
county , without a railroad , or without a
literal emptying of Naturo's horn of plenty
tills year. She has uncounted provision he-
yond her needs. She has both corn to sell
and keep , to make no mentloa of divers
other necessaries of life.
Burlington Hawkeyc : The only good reason -
son why General James B , Weaver was
resurrected from the political dead and once
more nominated for congress in the Sixth
district is the indisputable fact that lie
is used to being licked , mid one more do-
ftot twill do him no harm , They did ant
want to discourage a now man by sending
him against Major Lacy.

THINKS SILVER A DEAD ISSUE

MINNEAPOLIS , Aug , 9.-A special to the
Journal from Duluth , Minn says :
Senator IIanna and H , IL Kohisaat left
hero this afternoon for Yellowstone park ,
Mr. Ilanna , when interviewed , said he hollered -
llered the silver Issue absolutely dead and
all hope of an international agreement on
bitnetalllsm futile , at least for the present.
lie believed the several straight gold platforms -
forms adopted by stale conventions were 1n
direct line with republican ideas as to the
maintenance of money as goad as that of
any nation in the world. Ho sald the republican -
publican party would make its next campaign -
paign on issues brought up by the war 'md
on its record in the war , and that the presi-
dent's course had given the party an absolute -
lute continuance of its control of political
affairs , the president having been correct
fu all his moves. He expected , however ,
that the silver issue would be galvanized
to do duty as the main question by the opponents -
ponents of the republican party , and that
therein lay their weakness ,

TOPEKA , Kan Aug. 9.-Special.-The ( )
populists will open their state campaign at
Valley Falls next Thursday , Governor
Leedy will fire the first gun. His performance -
ance on that occasion will be watched with
some interest on account of the wide difference -
ference of opinion entertained by the populist -
list leaders as to how the war proposition
issue should be handled. Leedy has always
been in favor of coming out fiat-footed and
opposing the policy of President McKinley ,
pronounce the war a failure and oppose the
Increase of the army and navy. His theory
is that the populists should declare that the
war was prolonged to assist the republicans
In the congressional elections this fall. He
made this declaration at the populist slate
convention.
Attorney General Boyle and Superintendent -
ent Stryker propose to uphold the national
administration. "No matter what the rest
of the nominees may do , " said Strylcer ,
"I propose to talk McKinley , " Boyle made
the same assertion. "Tills is a war for hum-
manlty , " said ho , "and the popullsts cannot
afford to condemn it. "
4ongressmam-at-Large Boutin wants to
talk patriotism , and say it few good things
about the able management of the war , but
attack the bond issue. He will talk green-
backs. So will all the rest , for that matter -
ter , Silver will not be discussed , It is a
dead issue with the populists.
Jerry Simpson doesn't know just what eel
of time dilemma to tackle. His speech in
the house in which he said our navy was
made up of tin ships and manned by cigarette -
ette dudes and that it was a useless commodity -
modity and should not ho enlarged has
arisen to embarrass him. Ills speech to the
effect that all the national administration
wnnted of a large standing army was to
suppress labor is also bothering him.
All of the Kansas populist congressmen
voted ntainst the war revenue measure.
After this country was at war with a fern
cign enemy and had to have money on which
to run its navy and army the popullsts refused -
fused to support the only bill offered to
raise sufficient revenue. hind congress followed
lowed their footsteps war operations would
have had to be abandoned , And yet they
declare they will talk patriotism. Their
actions speak louder titan words , Time people -
ple of tlto state will ho more inclined to
take into consideration their record in con.
gross than their promises on the stump.
The populist state comnmltteo is laboring
hard to get time populist state and con-
gressionnl nominees to adopt a uniform war
talk and Governor Leedy's address at Valley -
ley Falls next Thursday will show whether
the committee has met with success la its
efforts ,
