fore they can become laws, thus plac-

trolled by parliamentary rules to be estab-

not Of sufficient Importance to be treated of
In the constitution. The same observation
applies to the clerical force OF the General
Assembly. We do not believe that these are
matters worthy of incorporation In the fun

Certainly our Legislatures can be trusted In
such small, insignificant matters.

THE EDITORS BATH.

The telegraph announces the intention OF
the Iowa Press Convention to battle III Lake
Minnetonka, as solemn and appropriate
method Of winding up the ceremonies Of the
session. That 1t was the remote intention OF
the Iowa press to go to this extraordinary
length some day, has long been known, but
nothing In the past five years gave Indication
that the plan would mature and be carried
out at 50 early day. At a preliminary meet
Ing Of the convention, however, 1t was decided
that the long-deferred measure should be in
Immediate order, and members whose life In
surance policies had nearly expired were noti-
fied to place everything liz trim, as no one
would be excused from participation.
OF course the convention Is to be congrat-
ulated on this important move, and the indi-
vidual members on the courage and utter dis
regard for precedent displayed In the resolu-
ton. The novel and sublime spectacle of
forty-one Iowa editors shimmering, alabas-
ter-like, in the fervent June sun. and bowling
to plunge into bath, Is one that the country
may well be proud Of.
There Is only one thing to be regretted,
Lake Minnetonka Is clear, placid and alto
gether charming bit of water. Why should
its crystal purity, It's unsullied fairness. be
thus ruthlessly-but no! We will not let
feeble objection stand In the way OF so
worthy an end as the Iowa editors bath
Perish cavil and remonstrance! Let soap
and goodness thrive! There is only one little
suggestion We would give In brotherly and
monttory spirit. The telegraph announces
that the convention Is going to "bathe and
fish in Lake Minnetonka." AS the fish are
doomed anyway, let the editors be merciful
and fish first. We would be sorry to learn Of
our Iowa brethren being SO regardless Of
Bergh, 50 wantonly, barbarously and I'M
necessarily cruel as to dream OF bathing be-
fore humanely killing the fish.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

On Tuesday the lower house Of Congress
had under consideration d bill, heretofore re-
ported from the Committee on Civil Service
Reform, to prohibit Federal officials from
contributing for political purposes.
| The bill gave rise to very lively discussion.
and naturally aroused the characteristic hos
tility Of the bitter Republican partisans, who
| are opposed to every proposed bill, or law, to
purify our political system, simply because
their party profits by Its existing statutory
evils and abuses
There are over one hundred thousand Fed
eral offieehoders In this country. With few
exceptions they represent the political faith
OF the President and his cabinet consellors.
They have been drawn from the ultra element
OF the Republican party. The political as
sessments levied upon them have always
represented the main portion Of the Republic
can campaign fund. 1t has been great
corruptive fund extorted by political black
mailers from the Secretary Of the Treasury
down to the lowest order Of detective In the
government service. The Republican party
has won some OF It's past victories by liberal
use Ut this ammunition, and would now and
hereafter feel like an army going forth to

from further supply Of this their most yalu-
able campaign material.
Hence 1t Is natural that so stalwart Re-
publican as Cd. Conger should have jumped
to his feet during the debate. and denounced
the pending bill as can Infamous attack on
one Of the political parties of course upon
Mr.. CoDger's party, and suggesdveIy upon.
its corrupt financial resources.
Mr.. MeLane Democrat appealed to the
House to pass this bill as a measure of pro-
lection to the people, who had already wit
messed the rule Of an American President
who was utterly Indifferent to all civil rights,
reckless and careless Of human life, and
utterly regardless OF every moral principle,
but whom the Republicans would have In
office again. The Republican members ap-
plauded this last utterance, and derisively
shouted: He will be In again."
OF course they hope to get him there, and
they attach proper Importance to the alleged
voluntary contributions" OF Federal Office
holders, and judging BY Tuesdays fierce de-
bate they will make bitter fight before re-
linquishing fund which by system OF
official Matchmaking, has been biennially
raised for the benefit "of one Of the political
parties"

REPUTATION IN THE NINTH WARD.

The meeting which assembled at Mccarthy
Square In the ninth ward, last night, appears
to have been called by Mr.. A. q. De Lisle,
whose name appeared in the DEMOCRAT last
year as member Of the Grand Council OF the
Native American or National party, and as
one Of the chiefs In the ninth ward.
A number of prominent names were pub.
lished at the same time as belonging to the
order, including b. F. Guichard, Z. @. Ander-
son, j. Henri Burch, r. o. Hebert, Louis Souer
and nearly all the leading Republicans OF the
State, and our readers will recollect that
when the fact was made known that such
men had been secretly Initiated, and were
really controlling the party, the good men
who had been induced to participate, gener-
orally withdrew, and the backbone Of the Ma
tional party organization was broken.
Mr.. De Lisle was candidate for the Con-
vention In the ninth ward against the Demo
cratic NOMINEES and was defeated by an over
whelming majority, and 1t does not appear
from the results Of last nights meeting that
any considerable portion of the citizens In the
ninth ward have changed their opinion Of
him.
The ninth ward is one Of the most reliable
Democratic wards In the city, and its resi-
dents are not likely to encourage the schemes
OF persons who have been avoWed enemies of
the Democratic party, and are now seeking to
disintegrate IT,
The resolutions favoriDg reputation were
voted down, and the substitute indorging the
course Of the delegates ID the Convention, and
leaving them uninstructed, appear to have
been carried by reclamation.
