some weeks ago the democrats of Iowa
met in state convention at DesSlolnes,
nominated state ticket and made q
platform taking strong and decided
grounds against prohibition with the ev-
ident intention of forcing that issue with
the republican party. The republican
party met at the same place day before
yesterday in state convention aud took
up the gauntlet where the democrats had
thrown it down by as decidedly accept
ing the issue and declaring in their plat
form for prohibition. Perhaps the worst
surprised party in the country now is the
democratic party of Iowa. They intend
ed to put the republican party IN cor
ner where 1t would dare to say neither
yes nor no, ami make capital against it
on account Of its equivocating position
on the liquor question. But in this the
democrats have reckoned without their
host, and are confronted by the issue
they themselves forced into the campaign.
They bargained for an elephant and got
it, If the republicans had attempted to
take both sides of the liquor question, as
the democrats expected they would do,
they would undoubtedly have been
beaten, for the prohibitioaists would
have put ticket Of their own in the field
and thereby have divided the democratic
opposition in that state. The attitude of
the two conventions is now whisky or no
whisky, and so far as the forthcoming
campaign is concerned party lines are
rubbed out. The 10000 majority who
voted for the prohib,tory amendment to
the constitution year ago have the same
question in = different form presented
this wear and it is not at all probable nor
10 It scarcely possible that there Is change
Of public sentiment on this question suf-

THE commissioners to locate the insane
asylum arc now IN session in this city,
and they are between the upper and
neither millstones of public opinion. To
comply with the absurd provisions OF the
law. which is q monument to the stupidi-
ty of the legislature that passed it, will
he to put the asylum out of sight and
comparatively out Of reach of the city or
expend nearly all of the appropriation
for the required amount of land. To buy
the amount of land contiguous to the
city, where the asylum should be located,
would not only exhaust the entire ap-
propriatlon but the commissioners would
have to make up balance of about
alO. 900 out of their own pockets and
then not have enough left to bulld a 6xS
shack upon it. TO go out the full limit
would require half the appropriation and
the building would be hidden from sight
in its isolation. There is no competition
for it except those who have laad to sell
at good figure. Nobody IN the neigh
borhood of its location would contribute
a cent towards paying for the land as it
would be ne advantage to the land own
ers adjoining but rather damage If it
couid have been located on one Of the
bluffs surrounding the city it would have
been al ornament to the city and source
of pride to the people, but If it IS to 50
away out in the country nobody will care
ANYTHING about it, farther than to severe
" critlcise the commissioners for the
rural selection of the site.

B1sMARcK, June 2s-The Little Missouri
trouble is now supposed to he ended by
the Imprisonment Of O'Donnell and Wan
gen and the death of Riley Luffey. Great
interest IS manifested in the matter as the
MARQUIS of DeMores upon whom the des-
peradoes swore vengeance and death, has
been doing much toward the improve
mept and development of the Little Mis-
souri, country. He has brought fourteen
thousand sheep to the country, has estab-
lished horse ranches and founded town
ship He is president of the North Pa
c,hc Refrigerator Car company and is
slaughtering cattle on the ranch for ship
ment east. He has % 600 acres of land,
and has INVESTED vast amount of money
in the valley. The cause of the attack of
the cowboys on the marquis is supposed
to be prejudice against the ownership
of such large tract of land by one man
and as O'Donnell had been the leader of
the hunters and the ruler of that section
for sore time, he determined to orive
the marquis from the country. O'Don-
nell and Wangen have been held in
46, 900 bail each to appear next Tuesday
and coroners inquest Will DC helo on the
body of Luffy to morrow.
Gov. Ordway arrived this evening in
company with architect Burlington of
St. Paul. The members of the capital
commissioners IN the city are Messrs.
Hughes. Mckenzie, Spalding, Matthews,
DeLong and Beldlng. A number of
plans for the capitol building nave al
ready been received and will be consid-
cred at the regular meeting of the COM
mission July 5th. Landscape Gardner
Nelson of Chicago IS IN the city and after
looking over the sight detlares 1t is beau
tiful. The capital building and grounds
will be pushed to completion as rapidly as
possible and 1t is estimated that hundreds
Of men will be at work upon them in q
few weeks.
The penitentiary commission met to-
day and located the building and the
work Of hauling rock, digging trenches
etc., will be begun at once. The building
will be one of the most complete and inn
posing of its kind in the country.

THERE is left little room for doubt of
the unpopularity of Gov. Ordway IN
South Dakota. The newspapers there
openly impute corruption to his admins
tration and personally refer to hlm with
undlsgu,sed contempt. Not only this,
but he was present in Huron during the
sitting of the recent convention, and not
withstanding his official position as chief
executive of the territory not even the
courtesy Of IN invitation to meet with
them was extended to him by the dele
gates who were CT and representative of
the masses of the people Of that part Of
territory south Of the 46th parallel There
must certainly be very strong feeling Of
repugnance where such an unmistakable
disceurtesy is manifested by body Of
representative men. 1t is folly to attem pt
to explain this feeling as one Of ground
less prejudice. 1t is too general 10 be
without foundation. We do not join with
those who denounce Gov. Ordway As an
example Of total depravity, but still there
must be something wrong to call out such
. feeling of discourtesy from the people
as was manifested at the Huron convcn-
ton. He may or may not have exerted
any influence in locating the capital at
Bismarck, but his junketing about the
territory with the capital commission did
not comport with the dignity and duties
of the chief executive OF the great terri
tory of Dakota and lost HIM much re-
spect that he might otherwise have re-
taiued. Perhaps the least that can be
said of Gov. Ordway's conduct during
and since the late session of the legis-
lature is that he has made some very un-
fortunate mistakes.

The action OF the board of education
at the meeting night before last in decid-
ing upon the plan of examining the teach
ers themselves is one that will at once
commend itself to any person who will
give the subject intelligent and candid
thought, and is one 10 which no we'll
qualified teacher, from principal down to
primary, could reasonably object. Teach
ing in graded school with success Is to
. considerable extent the work Of the
specialist. A teacher may he eminently
successful in the grammar department
and failure in the primary. There are
special peculiaritiesr required in the teach
or OF each grade. These special qualifca-
tions are not to be ascertained from GER
tidcate given by the county supsrintend-
ent and the only way to discover them is
through personal examination by the
board of education. 1t is but just to
themselves that they do this as they are
held responsible for the efficiency of the
schools and 1t is the only way by which
they can make intelligent appointments
to the several grades. It is also due to
the teacher that she may not be appoint
cd to y position unsuited to her special
qualifications. 1t is no reflection upon
upon the county superintendent who
gave it, but it is matter rather of JUS
tics to both the board and the teacher, and
one who would object to it would thereby
invite the suspicion of deficient qnalifica.
tlons. 1t is plan pursued IN nearly oil
graded schools in the states under con-
troll of boards Of education and has been
followed by the most satisfactory re-
suits.
Our schools have now reached point
in their development and classification
where system should be strictly observed
IN all the departments, and we are glad to
sec that the board of education is adopt
ing such course as will establish sys-
tenn. We will have a high school to grad
uate from which will carry with it both
a meaning and an honor. Intelligence is
the foundation upon which our govern
ment rests and Its stability is largely de-
pendent upon the education of the
masses. The public high school supplies
to the masses the advantages of higher
course and sufficient for the ordinary bus
lness pursuits of life, which thousands
could not obtain If required to incur the
expense of going away from home and
paying board and tuition.
