RATES OF ADvERTIsiNo
The Plank is Still There.

A correspondent asks why the Re-
publican party did not re-enact this
year its anti-bad man plank. 1t did.
Not in the same words, but in just as
clear and emphatic terms. In the
ninth plank the party demands of
its voters that sony HONEST and
capable men be elected or appointed
to Office" In other words the State
platform demands that any dishonest
men nominated by Republicans
through trick or even by the defiaLce
of a bullying majority shall not be
elected-that is, all Republicans who
want honest men for officers, shall
vote and work againt them. The
platform of last year laid it down as
the duty of every honest Republican
TO beat all bad nominees. This year
the injunction is more emphatic still,
and the defeat of such men is not
simply advised. and asked but de-
manded.
The Republican party of Iowa was
pioneer in the reform, that the way
to purify a party is TO beat its bad
nominees, and instead of retrograd-
! ing from the doctrine grows yearly
more earnest in it. This will be Il
worse year than last for candidates
forced upon the party by cliqucs, for
nominees VIII 0 are dishonest in them
selves, or have gained their places on
the ticket by cheating in the caucus
or bullying in the canvass. If our
correspondent will but look to the
| last two State platforms he will see
that the Republican party put its
hand to good plOw last year from
which it has neither desire nor intcn-
tion Of looking back this year. Amy
! candidate who comes under the con
domination Of the platform, or any
candidate who thinks of being Il can
didate but has II disposition to grum-
bic at the party because he cannot
stand the rigid test which it will
rigidIy apply, need not wait till
election day to know his fate. If he
does not want to be Crematcd, he
should not indulge in the amusement
of being candidate for corpse. co.,

1t now appears that the managers
of all the Iowa railroads have deter
mined to observe the new law which
took effect on the 1st inst. This is
without question the wisest course
for them to pursue. If the law is
unjust and oppressive upon them, a
little time will demonstrate the fact ;
and when this is shown all proper
concessions will doubtless cheerfully
be accorded them. Resistance to the
law by the roads could bring no
good results to the railroads or the
people. The people have exercised
forbearance toward the roads for
years; a slight exhibition of the
same virtue upon the part of the
roads now will tend strongly toward
a satisfactory adjustment of existing
differences.

Republican Platform.

We, the representatives of the Re-
publican party of the State Of Iowa,
i'm convention assembled, do adopt
the following platform Of principles :
ResOiUed, !. That aS the policy OF
the Republican party in relation to
finance has afforded the people not
only safe, sound and popular cur
rency, Of equal and uniform worth
i'm every portion of our common
country, but has likewise greatly im-
proved the credit of the country at
home and abroad, we point with
pride to its record and accomplish
nents in this regard. And while re-
affirming the policy announced by
the party i'm the National C0nven-
tiOns of 1868 and 1872, and triumph
antIy endorsed by the people at the
polls, "a policy which, while contrib
uting TO the public credit, has also
enhanced the individual and collec-
tive prosperity of the American peo-
ple,-we favor such Legislation as
Shall make national banking free to
all under just and equal laws, based
upon the policy OF specie resumption
at such time as is consistent with the
material and industrial interests OF
the country, to the end that the vol
ume of currency may be regulated by
the natural Jaws of trade.
2. That we reaflirm the declara-
ton of the Republican National plat
form Of 1872 in favor of the payment
by the Government of the United
States Of all its obligations in accord
ance with both the letter and the
spirit of the laws under which such
obligations were issued, and we de-
clare that i'm the absence OF any ey-
press provisions to the contrary, the
obligations of the Government when
issued and placed upon the markets
of the world, are payable in the
worlds currency, to-actt: specie.
3. That under the Constitution OF
the United States Congress has the
power to regulate all commerce
among the several States" whether
carried on by railroads or by other
means, and In the exercise of that
power Congress may, and should SO
iegislate as to'prohibit under snita-
BILE penalties) extortion, unjust dis,
elimination, and other wrong ana
unjust conduct on the part OF persons
or corporations engaged in such com
merce. And, by virtue of the same
constitutional power Congress may
and should provide for the improve
ment of our great natural water
ways.
4. That the State has power, and
it is its duty 10 provide by law Tor
the regulation and control Of railway
transportation within its own limits,
and we demand that the law OF TINS
State passed for this purpose at tne
last session of the General Assembly
shall be upheld and enforced untii u
shall be sunerseded by other legisia-
ton, or held unconstitutional by the

The Oskaloosa Standard, an Anti
Monopoly journal, feels impelled tc
speak thus favorably of two of the
candidates on our State ticket:
The strongest man on the Republic
can State ticket is VIM. Christy, who
politics aside, is one of the very best
men in Iowa. His integrity is like
beaten gold, and his devotion to his
official obligations precisely what il
should be. He makes a magnificent
officer, and has had the discrimina
ton to select IA deputy as faithful as
himself. 1t is matter of surprise
that two such excellent men should
choose to retain their membership il
the Republican party.
Our fellow citizen, Mr.. Cults, was
complimented with a denomination
He has made a good officer, and il
probably the best stump speaker in
side the Republican ruuks in Iowa.

The slippery Kasson, present con-

pears that this was done simply to
blind his secret political Juggling for
that position. At the congressional
primary election held in Des Moines
last week Kasson carried that city
by majority of 107, and this, too,
against a man who has heretofore
been a warm supporter Of the present

been candidate only on the plain
understanding that KasSon would
not be. For ways that are dark, "

platform and ticket, but insists upon
calling them Democratic. Speaking
Of the two Iowa State platforms, it
says: "Ours is Democracy, pure and
undefled, while theirs is anything
to catch votes.p This is the opinion
of Dan. Baker, Sam. Evans, Claggett,
Gillespie, Campbell, Irish, Walker,
Clay Dean, and all that ilk, or they
at least 50 pretend, while DIR. Stone
says to Republicans: 81 made an
old-fashioned Republican platform,
and made those old copperheads

the platform and ought to know
but the trouble is that he doesn't al
ways tell the same story about 1T.
He tells Democrats it is Democratic
enough for any Of them, and thus
agrees with Evans, Irish Il Co.

road managers claimed that the Ia"
was unconstitutional, and that IL

said managers in the Circuit Court oi

President Keep, of the Chicago &
Northwestern Railroad has written
a letter to Gov. Carpenter Of Iowa,
protesting against the Iowa Railroad
law which classifies all branches OF
that road in class "a" suhiecting
them to the lowest rates of freight
and fare. 1t says the company oper-
ates four roads in Iowa, Stanton &
Upton, Iowa Midland, Chicago,
Iowa & Nebraska, and Cedar Rapids
& Missouri River, all of which have
been run with net loss to the com.
pany. The Cedar Rapids & Missouri
River Road has cost the company
above receipts $28l ,s69. The compa,
ny insists that the Iowa Legislature
had 10 constitutional right to pass q
law requiring the company to oper'
ate their roads at an absolute loss,
thus virtually conf5cating their
property. The company will con-
form to the law for q time sufficient
to demonstrate the injustice Of these
rates, protesting that none Of its pro-
visions are accepted, and denying
their constitutional validity. The
lessons of the roads of this company
may take whatever action they
choose i'm the matter in order to pro
tect their rights.
