Reports established by the govern
ment. We now mention that a series
of water gauges has been perfected
on the Mississippi, at each of which
observations will be made on the

A Religio-political Farce.

There may be a few things in the
platform and ticket promulgated by
the State Convention OF last week
that we could wish little different;
still, We bend to none in the support
we shall render TO them and to tho
most ultra principles Of the Rcpubli-
can party in general But there is a
hippant, tarcical way of mixing re
ligion and politics, eXempliiied at the
Des Moines Convention, which we
will not wink at, whether Rcpuhli
cans like it or not.
For example, it is not improper
on the contrary it is quite in accord
ance with propricty,-to invoke the
divine blessing at the opening Of a
Convention which is to enact matters
of Importance to more than a million
human beings. But when such iilvo-
cation is converted into huge glori-
fralicn of party virtues; when the
Lord is hidden to take notice OF the
party's mighty achievements, credit
ell with having done the fair thing
il giving a 10000 majority last year,
and boldly asked whether for good
or bad not only do as well this
year, but, "Yea, Lord, to double ii"
when, at such stage of the invoca-
ton. Convention breaks ont into
approbativc expression by clapping
hands. stamping, cheering and under.
tuilcl cxclamatiors OF "buily;" and
when the whole affair ends with APP
plause such as usually follows good
hit in a political speech, we hesitate
not to pronounce the thing farce,
at which all well balanced minds
whether much given to personal,
habits Of devotion ornot, must blush. |
And Just such farce as this was en-
acted at the Des Moincs Convention
last week
Perhaps no blame can be laid di-
rectly upon any one Individual. The
Reverend gentleman Eve withhold
lis name) who led the undevotlonal
exercise, forgetting that The who ex
,lteth himself shall be abased," may
low have cause TO reflect whether
he is altogether guiltless in exposing
. religious act to ridicule. But the
Convention that can instantly break
,way from the rational and tradl-
ional restraints of religion, and play
. farce in the midst of an approach
o Deity, would Go well to be slow
II setting itself up as representative
of patty renowned for morality.
We know that many men Of known
,eligious habits were Disguised and
shocked, and that the general con-
!uct of that part of the proceedings
vas made the subject of unlimited
est and sighting remark in tie
looms Of delegates, at hotel tables
ind in the cars. A party laying
claim to as much morality as ours
las done, cannot afford to play such
tricks before high heaven; and if our
Democratic brethren do not dish this
matter up very hot to us, they have
less shrewdness than we give them
credit for. Lord, have We not prophi-
sled in thy name, and in thy name
cast out devils and done many won,
lerful works :' may tend much to
feelings for the instant,
but. it is not, nor it can not come
to, good.

Tie Republican Platform.

With the exception Of the planks
on Tariff and San Domingo, in the
platform OF principles adopted by the
! State Convention of the Republican
Party, at Des Moines, last week, the
platform is very good one, and will
commend itself to the good judg-
ment Of the intelligent voters Of the
State.
It is very unfortunate that the two
planks referred to were inserted. 1t
is unfortunate, because, as we be-
lieve, they do not express the settled
convictions of the Republicans of the
State There can hardly be doubt
that the Republicans Of Iowa have
no sympathy in the honeyed words,
.Revenue Reform" to which the
Convention has committed the party
of Iowa. We are furthermore as
sured that the Convention would not
have accepted the resolutions on tar
if If it had had an opportunity 70
express its opinion on the subject.
The San Domingo plank is ldentl-
cal with the tariff plank, in that it
has no support from the great body
of the people. Neither the bitter
personal relations Of one member Of
the committee with Mr.. Sumner, nor
the cordial relations Of the whole
Republican party Of the State to-
ward Mr.. Harlan, could justify the
introduction and passage of the reso-
luton. The interests Of the people
of the United States are paramount
TO the interest of the people of San
Domingo.
There is no use having platform
which does not express our views,
and when it does not express oul
views there can no good result in de
} Ginning to say it does not.
I Hon. Robert Lucas seems to have
had q facility in getting first posi-
tions. In 1882, was held, at Balti
moro, the first national political con
1 vcntion, Of which he was presldeu:
: and a. which Andrew Jackson wa!
y nominated for President Of til,
United States. The first jackson
!. ELECTORAL ticket ever run IN Ohio
4 was headed with the lame Of Rober
! Lucas as one Of the electors at large
g In 1888, on the organization OF tn
), Territory Of Iowa, President Va,
Il Duran appointed Robert Lucas it
o first Governor, and he held the posi-
ton until 184l.
