This document, which we give com.
plete, is very lengthy, but treats al.
most exclusively of State alfairs. II
perhaps was not essentially necessary
for the Governor to give the history
o. the State, Lut this is an exceptional
redundancy, and can be easily over
looked. The message is thorough
showing Of Tie atf:.irs Of the State and
is thus far valuable document, which
ought TO be read by every inhabitant
Of Iowa. Don't be discouraged by
lis length--it contains considerable
meat, after all.
The grave doubts" about CERTAIN
tccht zeal points relative to the propos-
ed amendment look very Ike craw-
fishing, but We trust the "fccler " will
wake up the people to the danger Of
their being cheated out Of their cher
ished desire 10 eliminate part, at
least, Of the barbar ism from our State
Constitution.

STAND 70 rME CoLoRs.

Last years political campaign in
this State was fought upon the issue
Of the equality of all men before the
law and resulted in m overwheln-
ming triumph for the right. The Re-
publican party in its platform pledged
itself TO the amendment striking the
word Nv hite" from our Constitution.
Our present L. legislators were elected
upon that issue and are morally bound
TO carry into eject the viii Of their
constituents by submitting the consti-
tn,ional amendment to the people for
ratification or rejection The people
want no hating. no cowardice, no
dojging, no sneaking behind Matched
up technical fave, such as is indicated
in Gov. Stones message. The Re-
publican party of Iow. must no. de-
scrt its coiors, from an insane fear Of
defeat from an enemy. the thunder Of
whose guns has not yet wakcned the
echoes Of the Mississippi. Who ever
heard OF an Iowa regiment running
panic stricken from the field of battle:
Shall We not emulate our boys at
Donclson and hundred other con.
aicis, by planting our banner Of
equal rights first upon the enemy's
batilcments? Cowardicc now is Ger.
tain destruction in the future. Falter
this year and deserved retribution will
follow next. Honest men despise
doaging and craw ish'ag. l.. rs haYe
none Of it on the part Of our legisla-
tors. Let them meet the issue squar.

The New Million Bonded Debt.

Money is always worth for use more
than six per cent. In order to pay debts
as they fall due, it would seem to be good
policy therefore, to borrow at that rate
the amount of ones Indebtedness, and
SO continue in debt for the purpose OF
realizing the difference between six per
cent. and the higher rate, which, after
insurance, may result from using so
much money. Or what is the same
thing, it would seem good policy enough
70 pay up the interest as it may fall due,
by borrowing, and thus procure an ex-
tension Of time. Business men will
recognize this as no very unwise policy,
if pursued by men of ordinary sagacity,
prudence and energy.
Now suppose we apply this view to
our city debt, land if so unusual thing
may be supposed, take it for granted
that our financial affairs are well man
aged, and without waste, extravaganza
or malfeasance of any kind), and sup
pose we pay this debt off only at the
end of thirty years. OF what is
the equivalent, we borrow from time to
time the required amount, and let our
debt accumulate as it aust honestly do
at compound interest for the thirty
wears. The matter we present for atten-
ton, is the amount Of our debt, which we
are to make more profitable to the city
by letting it run up to a full figure than
by paying off as fast az we can. The
debt will little more than double every
twelve years. 1t is now one million.
Twelve years hence It will be two mil
lions. Twenty -four years hence it will
bsfour millions. If it ran on to thirty
six years, the debt would be eight mil
lions But as we stop at thirty years,
and pay up in full at that date, we shall
have to pay only six millions, or six for
one. If we get fifty cents in the dollar
for the bonds we shall. therefore, only
pay twelve for one. For the use OF
100000 thirty years, we shall pay
SC, 900, 900 in all, FIVE millions Of which is
for interest alone. If " get a million
dollars for the bonds, and use It well, the
transaction may be profitable one. If
we get but half a million, twelve per
cent compounded every six months will
require both the success Of the private
speeulasor and the utmost economy.
Shall we not have a new thing under the
sun when the affairs Of corporation are
so well managed as to afford compound
interest AZ twelve per cent ? But sup
pose we get only thirty-three and one
third cents for the bonds. We shallthen
pay eighteen per cent, which, at COM
pound interest, viii in thirty years
amount to eighteen for one, or six nil
lions for one-tbird Of a million Ia this
new way Of psying Of old debts a de-
sirs.le ons9 Perhaps the " fnahcial
skill" Of the Board Of Mayor and
Aldermen, combined with the econ
omy Of management common to
corporations, viii make It . fine
operation. Bat il vill be the first time
such 3 thing has happened in The world,
II Il should turn 50. Let those inter
ested make their own calculations and
