The What Is It Platform.

Commenting upon the Anti-Monop
Convention and Ex-Governor Stones
hash platform, the State Register
says:
eve didn't suppose they would
allow the Ex- Governor to write the
whole platform, but it seems they
did. In our party he was never
turned loose upon more than one res
olution, and he. always had. his in
structions MOTTO turn himself around
too. many times in that. 1t will do
to make one resolution out of hash,
but to make up whole platform ON
the picnic plan, and put into it every
thing that everybody brings, is too
much scrapwork for good work.
The trouble with the Governor, in
writing the platform, seems to have
been that he thought he had to use
all of the added old Democratic
eggs as we'll as all of the new party's
new eggs, and SO he scrambled them
all into one broad omelet-good and
bad together. Consequently in his
bill of fare, everybody thinks there
is something in it to suit him, if he
can only find it. A great many will
have trouble about it, as Col. Eiboeck
did in the Convention in trying to
find some cool lager for himself and
the ''forty thousand voters" at his
back; but if any of them will go to
Gov. Stone he will find it for them
and more too.

to passing under the bridge, there is
little danger to be anticipated on
that account. The flooring Of the
bridge is sixty-nine feet above high
water mark, afTording ample height
for the passage Of steamers. The To-
cation, too, is such that the levees
for the boats engaged in traffic on
the upper Mississippi are all above
the bridge, while the Ohio, Tennes-
sec and lower Mississippi boats tie
up below it. The tendency of the
great masses Of masonry in the piers,
standing as they do in the middle OF
a river running rapidly through a
contracted channel, will almost I'M
doubtedly be to promote the format-
ion of ice gorges in winter, and pos
sibly to- change the direction Of the
current, forming here shoals and
there eating away the shore. Upon
this point, however, the only safe
opinion will be that expressed by ex-
perience, for the Mississippi is the
most capricious of streams, and its
moods are less easily to be foretold
than those of a willful woman.

What Next?

The total failure to organize a new
party in Iowa; and going back to
John G. Calhoun, the Declaration Of
Independence, and the stump speech
es of dead and putrid Stone, to get
alternate lines for expressing the live
issues Of to-day, leaves the grangers
and retormers not even a foot-hold
to stand with the party yeleped Anti
Monopolists! That party has spoken
for honesty without a single honest
expression; deception is the charact-
cristic feature of its platform. Per-
suming upon the ignorance of the
farmer, it used VIM. NJ. Stone as its
mouthpicce Of reform! Standing up
on a platform of glittering gener-
alities," and itself 4 masterpiece of
deception, will you cry for help to
save from dishonesty in high places:
Men of Iowa will you swallow the
insult? If not that what ncxt?-

TnH Conservative in its favorite
style Of appealing to class prejudices,
seeks to make point out Of the fact
that none of the Republican State
nominees are farmers. Considering
that only by the most violent con-
struction can but ono Of the Anti-Mo-
noploy candidates be called tiller
of the soil and his cultivation has
been mostly in the miro of politics
digging for ofiice-the point of our
contemporary is exceedingly hazy.
Not Il single mechanic is on the
Autobiography ticket. Are we there
fore to understand that the Anti-Mo-
nopoly party despises mechanics? So
of other trades and professions that
find no representative on the ticket.
Does the new party mct,phorically
snap its fingers anthem and only cart
err to the railroad contractors, the brief
less lawyers, the insurance agents,
and small-calibred office seekers who
do find a place on it? Yet this is just
the idea that the Conservative would
intimate with regard to there being no
farmers among the Republican nomi-
ness. The Republican ticket is com
posed of honest and capable men
without exception, something that
cannot be said without some qualiti-
cation with regard to some of the
nominees of the opposition. We ap-
,prehend that these qualifications will
be considered gilmore moment by the:
voters of Iowa than thea 4reident Of
their vocation in life.

The most serious mishaps which
ever befel the Republican party of
Iowa were the leaderships of ex-Gov.
Stone and Of Blarney Grinnell.
This brace of troublcsomes, by their
unceasing bloviating, their sinuous
and peppery ways, their intriguing
selfshness and official crookedness,
kept the party in the unceasing labor
of making straight their zigzag inter
windings. AS to the former, he was
the first whom the party was called
upon to investigate Tartar whom
it was only too glad to let go. They
have been more roundly and success
fully spitted by our opponents than
any other two ever counted as Re-
publicans. Yet these are the men
on whom the Autobiography crowd
rely for directions and counsel in the
way of "Refom." 1t is no wonder
that men of character of all past psr-
ty predictions are washing their
hands of the sadly mis-named reform
party. Dubuque Times.

The Chicago Tribune of the 9th
has the following regarding the atti-
tudc Of the Illinois Central Railroad
toward the Iowa railroad law, and
the difficulties in the way of its COM
pliances with its provisions:
The Iowa and Wisconsin Railroad
laws are still agitating the minds of
railroad men in this city, who are
yet consulting each other in regard
to the measures to be taken. The
Illinois Central Railroad, the oulv
one Of the four Iowa trunk lines that
has not yet significd its intention to
comply with the provisions of the
law, is in peculiar position. The
President, Mr. Newell, stated to a
reporter yesterday that he would
adopt the Commissioners tariff at
once if he was not prevented by i'll
functions from the State Courts,
which were sued ont by the stock
holders of the three leased lines
which form the Iowa Division OF his
road. Should these injunctions be
removed, the Illinois Central will
comply with the new law the same
as the other roads. The managers
of the Iowa trunk lines state that, in
the law, the business it
will apply to will be principally mer,
chandisc marketed at the principal
river towns-places like Dubuque,
Burlington, Keokuk, etc.
where most merchandise is bought,
and to lumber that comes from Min
ncsota and Wisconsin, and which
can be bought at river towns as well
as in Chicago. But stock and grain,
which articles have To seek a market
at New York and other Eastern sea-
ports, will have to make up for the,
loss on merchandise and lumber,
thus forcing them to make an unjust
discrimination between several arti-
lies seeking transportation.

The Investigation of the affairs of


The investigation of the affairs of
the Agricultural College last winter
by the Legislature, was happy
thing for that institution. A cores
pondent at the College writes that
never before in its history has there
been such a rush of students to it, as
during the term just closed. So
thoroughly did the investigation adj
vcrtise it, that without doubt fully
five hundred students would enter
for the fall term, were there accom-
modations. It should be mentioned
as one cause Of this prosperity, that

900 in the eastern abutmcnt pier OF
the St. Louis bridge.
Twenty-Five lives were lost during
the work, including the twelve from
caisson disease. Nine men were Kill
led on the piers, and one on the sup
erstructurc. All of these were lost
through the carelessness of their
owners, as nothing connected with
the machinery or staging gave way,
broke or proved defective. The
working force was 1000 strong.
The contractors were as follows:
masonry, James Andrews, Pittsburg,
Pa; superstructure, the keystone
Bridge Company, Pittsburg, Pa;
eastern approach, the Baltimore
Bridge Company, Baltimore, Md;
tunnel, James Andrews, Pittsburg,
Pa; and S. Krama, St. Louis, Mo-;
iron and steel, the Midvale Steel
Company;
The financial agents were Mcssrs
jameson, Smith & Colting, of New
York, who, after St. Louis and New
York capitalists had taken large
amount of stock (the latter $1,000,
OOO) placed the mortgage bonds in
London through Messrs J. S. Nor
gan & Co.
The estimated income of the bridge
is placed at 100000 per year,
which in thirty years will pay off the
bonds. The sources of revenue be-
sides the twelve railroads centering
at the city are the teams from the
eastern shore, with coal, flour, pro-
duce, ETC.; and pleasure and business
traffic. Fifty thousand teams have
heretofore crossed at the ferries annual
ly, besides coal-vans carrying ninehun-
dred thousand tons Of coal, SO that
the estimate of income is not consid-
cred out of the way.
EFFECT ON NAVIGATION.
The question Of the effect Of the
bridge upon navigation has been SO
recently discussed as to be fresh in
the recollection of most readers. AS
