Dayennort Democrat,

We take it a. the spirit of the finance
resolution adopted by the Liberal
Democratic State Convention, that .
bona tide early resumption of specie
pay ments is desired. Bnt this being
true, a'strict literal construction placed
upon the resolution is unsatisfactory,
and the wording Of the plank is un-
fortunate. A plain, unequivocal de-
claration for resumption OF specie pay
ments at the earliest day practicable
should have been made; then there
could have been no quibbling and bag
Cling over technicalities. We believe
every Opposition paper in Iowa, with
barely two exceptions, is in favor of
q speedy return to = specie basis and,
excepting few inflationists in Aeary
and Des Moines counties, the people
arc all for 1t. The national Democracy
will take steps toward specie resump-
tion, ANY other policy would be ruin
Gus to the country and to the party,
and we regret that the Iowa Opp0si-
tion did not makesitself more plainly
heard on this question. However, its
position is great deal better than that
Of the Ohio Democrats, who Endorsed

steps on this question will not be tol-
Grated by the Opposition OF this State.
Evidently from the above we are TO
conclude that the Democrat is sick, and
wonld spew if it could get into q
corner out of sight. There is method
In this sickness Of the Democrat. At
home where it gets its bread and but
ter, thcrcis very large German ele-
ment which holds as vital principle
the return to specie resumption at the
earliest date. These German American
citizens also are bitterly opposed to
sumptuary laws touching the traffic in
liquors, beer and wine, and this ex-
plains why tho Democrat is Of all the
Democratic papers in the State making
. kind Of sickly oppoaition to the a.
nancial plank in the late "whatyou call
ip State platform. For trimming,
whether in politics or in patent medi-
cine embellishments, tho Democrat
takes tha sweepstakes.

CAPITAL PUNasHmENr.

AT the last regular session of the
Legislature of this State, the law was
passed repeating capital punishment.
We opposed such repeal then with
such ability as we possessed, and our
views then entertained, have only been
strengthened under the operation of
the now law. In theory, we know,
and have always acknowledged, that
there is much to sustain the views of
those who would not have life taken
as sentence of the law; but taking
the world as 1t is, full Of those ruff
fains to whom there are no terrors,
save the gallows, we believe a proper
ly guarded provision containing the
death penalty, is right, and the most
effective preventive against horrible,
willfnl murder. The old statute was
as follows:
",All murder which is perpetrated
by poison or lying in wait, or any 9TH
or kind of willful, deliberate aud pre-
meditated killing, or which is COM
mitted, in. the preparation or attempt
to perpetratc any arson, rape, r0bbing,
mayhem, or burglary. is murder in the
first degree, and shall be punished
with DEATH" -
Another section provided that MUIR
der committed otherwise than above
stated, should constitute murder In
the second degree, and was punishable
with, imprisonment in the penitentiary
for term not less than ten years.
Never in the history of the State
has thero occurred conviction under
the old statute but that the verdict
leaned to the eide Of mercy, save only
where the caselwas ono of the most
heinotfs character. While this statute
existed the case of mobs hanging men
were very rare, indeed; but since its
repeal, how often repeated have these
scenes been, and how deeply disgraced
have been certain localities in the
State? Young men, old men, boys,
and even women have witnessed these
terrible scenes at the hands of q fren-
zied crowd. Is there no remedy? We
do not know that there is any infalli-
BILE remedy--indeed, we do not believe
there is-but we do solemnly believe
that the restoration Of capital punish
ment would 60 far towards wiping
out the fsarfnlly demorslizing and
scenes of lynch law, now 80
prevalent.

g In regard to Senator Harlan, the Mt.
Pleasant Journal says:

without protesting to speak by
authority, or even with the knowledge
Of Mr.. Harlan, we can say with con-
fidence, on the authority of one who
conversed with him on the subject,
that all the reports to effect that he
(Mr. H.) 10 in the field, working his
cards for the Senatorship, are utterly
unf0nnded. He has not said TO any
one, or authorized any one to say that
he ia q candidate. He would not en-
ter into q struggle for the place, even
II be were sure that by 90 doing he
could secure it. He feels that the peo-
pie Of Iowa have honored him beyond
his deserts, and If he should again
enter actively into political canvass,
1t will only be in obedience to an I'M
perative call of the Republican party,
and sense OF obligation because OF
honors conferred upon him. Person-
ally VIC have not exchanged Q word
with the ex-senator on the subject"
We believe that the Journal shad.
ows with perfect accuracy the position
Of Senator Harlan. The labors Of that
gentleman a. the representative of
Iowa In the national councils and In
the National Cabinet have while they
honored him, been also very honorable
and beneficial to the State and the ma
non. In fact the public record Of Sem
a.or harlan is proud one that has
placed him high mp in the category of
OF the ablest statesman of the country.
He 10 now weighed down with domes-
tic Affections in his family in the &C.

the most of the changes being made in
