surRo AND CHINESE LA3sa
Adoiph Sutro was always In IN

himself on various occasions, especlal-
y before he undertook his ehrouIc
boro from the Carson River TO the
The latter part OF the
lime that he was q resldsnt Of this
State, he very ~judiclously RETAINED
from advocating cheap labor or any
Of wagsL for we'll he knew
that the capital and labor employed
In developing the COmstock mines
were working In perfect harmony to-
and would listen to no reduce
ton Of wages. All that capital asked
was skilled labor and o fair days work,
and labor asked and was granted q
just and adequate compensation. 1t
10 only In Europe that Sutro has dared
to ~promulgsto the cheap labor idea
which was ever prominent In
his mind In connection with his
royalty" drain project. There he
was at homo, and tho foreign capital
no sought patted him on tho back and
promised him plenty Of assistance In
case DO could mako the success OF his
tunnel enterprise a fixed fact through
permanent Congressional enactment
In hls favor. But, those capitalists
suggested to him that such compare
lively enormous wages Is are paid for
labor In this section, could not well be
allowed, and he not only agreed that
miners wages we're altogether too
high, but willingly promised that In
case OF the complete success which he
anticipated. he would reduce wages at
least one-half, employing Chinese, II
the white laborers would not stand the
reduction. All this, however. 10 just
what anybody might expect, and what
we as well as others thoroughly &C.
qnsinted with Sutro, knew would be
the case.
The whole glst Of the matter Is
simply this: Should Sutro succeed In
becoming master o. tho situation
(which, thanks to the capital which
guards aud promotes the truc inter
s,ts Of the country, he is not likely toy
he would mo doubt DO able 10 secure

] We, the representatives of the Re-
| publican party Of the State OF Iowa,
in convention assembled, do adopt
the following platform of principles +:
| ResOtUed, /. That as the policy OF
the Republican party in relation to
finance has afforded the people not
only a safe, sound and popular cur
rency, of equal and uniform worth
in every portion of our common
country, but has likewise greatly inn
proved the credit of the country at
home and abroad, we point with
pride to it's record and accomplish
nents in this regard. And while re-
affirming the policy announced by
the party in the, National Conven-
tions of 1868 and 1879, and triumph
antly 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 laws of trade. a
2. That we reafiirm 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 in the absence of any ex-
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, fo-,cH: specie.
g. 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
| legislate as to prohibit (under sulta-
BILE penalties) extortion, unjust dis
elimination, and other wrong and
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 to provide by law for
the regulation and control Of railway
transportation within its own limits,
and we demand that the law OF this
state passed for this purpose at the
last session of the General Assembly
shall be upheld and enforced until it

Lust Sunday morning family liv-

TO suburban church, leaving little
girl about seven years of age and n
boy about twelve years Of age in
charge of the house. The family
were TO have beans for dinner, and
these were left in a vessel on the
stove TO cook. The little girl, while
playing, suddenly began to smell the
od0r Of burnt beans, apon which she
rushed out Of the house over into the
church where the pastor was gravely
and earnestly preaching the profound
word OF God. The first person of the
family the little girl espied was a
young lady cousin, and to her in a
loud voice which startled the assem-
blage considerably, she cried: "Come
home, come home, the beans are
burning!" and Immediately rushed
out again. The establishment was
great, and all the solemnity of the
preacher as we'll MS the congregation
