THE IRON railroad bridge near Des
Moines on the Chicago. Rock Island &
Pacific road gave way last week Wed
nesday, precipitating an express train
going at the rate Of twenty miles an
hour, to the bed Of the stream, killing
twenty and vounding fifty, The cause
of the casualty was the undermining
of the piers by the terribly swollen
stream.
We learn with regret that n. E,

here and at New Lisbon, and will move

can remember when Dudley's arrival
would have been heralded with a vast
amount of gush and spirited acclaim
Now he is simply announced as ''look-

never be an announcement of his arri-

The Tribune thinks it would be a
good joke if tne Republican conyen-

Governor, and the boy further thinks
that it would be amusing to see the
REPORTER ''come down peg and
support him,
Now we don't think it would be a
very great piece Of Inconsistency to
support Mr.. Alls. Jack. Mr. A. has
been, and is. firm Republican and if
the Convention should see fit to nomi-
nate him the REPORTER will give him
an enthusiastic support, having no
sympathy with his soft money theories.
We recognize Mr.. Allis as one of the
truest and purcst men in the state, and
if he were elected the money cues
ton would stand where it now does,
A governor would have about as much
influence in sharing the financial poll
cy of the government as a Brahma
priest. Congress IS the man to appiy
legislation upon all questions. If
Congressman were to be elected and
Mr.. Allis were candidate we should
not support him. The term ':servile
