Des Moines Leader (Dem.): A
number Of newspapers, mostly Re
publican, but some claiming to be
Democratic, arc very much cxer-
cised about Mr.. Gillctte's views on
prohibition. For our part We are
not at all uneasy. We have con-
fidence in Mr.. Gillette, and believe
that If elected Lieutenant Governor
he will not prostitute the place to
thwart the popular will. The fight
this fall is a fight to drive ont the
Republican party in Iowa. Mr..
Gillett comes up with thirty to forty
thousand votes behind him to aid
in that endeavor. If the Demo
cratic party has an atom Of com
mon sense it will avail itself Of the
opportunity to form an alliance BY
nominating a candidate for Cover
nor that will cement the factions
and lead the united forces on to
victory.

Henry George says: Force can
accomplish nothing for the masses
of the people until they form some
idea Of what they want. And
when they do this force will be
needless. What everywhere en-
laves men is their ignorance and
selfshness. All governments, all
institutions, really rest on the ac-
tive support or passive acqnies-
cense of the masses. And for
this reason the work Of social re-
form is not a matter of fighting,
but Of education. The dynamite
Of ideas is infinitely more powerful
than that which will throw down
buildings and blow holes in the
streets.

Some careful observer has said
that "change Is written all over the
face OF nature" Had he been ut the
convention on Saturday at the Court
House. he could have said the same
thing about "the face Of man."
One Of the fuglemen in that con-
clave Of patriots, ready to sucrifice
everything for selfish ends, spoke
earnestly against accepting Gillette

as prohibitionist." Inasmuch as
tho speaker heretofore has been SO
radical q rrohibitionist as to have
steadily voted the Republican ticket
for the past Ave or six years, voted
tor and advocated the prohibitory
amendment, and always voted for
prohibition in Cresco; this CONVEX
sion to license is without parallel.
That speaker was Mr.. s. N. Cole, and
as Mr.. Gillette never went into the
republican party to vote for prohi-
bitionists and prohibition, he has
much less to repent Of than our
friend Cole, and like him may now
be In favor OF license.
Such remarkable change as this
ought to make the cause OF the Big

geries leap with Joy. Butt must be

Treasurer Jordan has been in
conference with the New York
bankers in view of borrowing from
them gold to keep the treasury re-
serve Of $1OO,OOO,OO Of gold in
the treasury for the redemption
Of outstanding legal tender notes.
Now if there was any law req,lir
ing one single dollar Of the
public debt to bc paid in gold
this anxiety to maintain that Or any
other sum in gold in the treasury
might I've excusable.
But the truth is there
is no law requiring any part Of the
public debt to he paid in gold.
The resumption act provides for
the payment Of certain portions
of the debt in coin which means
silver or gold as is most conven-
lent to the debtor. The language
Of tho statute is, Sin coin and law

any law requiring any particular
sum to be kept in the treasury for
the redemption Of grecnharks.
Secretary Sherman recomm ended

wants his groenbacks redeemed in
either gold Or silver the folly Of
locking mp fund for that pur-
pose from the channels Of trade and
business ought to be apparent to
every man not in collision with

Neal Dow Knows.

PORTLAND, Me-, June 10, 1885.
Yes, it was a democratic lcgisla-
turc and Governor when the Maine
law was enacted. The republicans
have repealed prohibition in many
states, the democrats in none. The
republican party in the nation and
State, is now as thoroughly under
the influence and control Of the
distillers, brewers, and grog shops
as the democratic party is or ever
was. We can never win in the
lifetime Of the republican party.

Preachers Please Notice.


The preachers, who last year de-
nounced polygamy in one breath
and slandered Grover Cleveland in
another, will doubtless he interest
ed to observe that more has
been accomplished toward
crushing out the Mormon
institution by this administration
than by all the republican admins
trations the country has ever had.
Indeed, until the man whom these
preachers maligned became presi-
dent no serious attempt had been
made TO suppress the Norman evil.
At this time, although Cleveland
has been in Office only four months,
the polygnmists are terrified by the
vigor with which lie is enforcing
the anti Mormon law, and are al
ready preparing, it is said, to seek
Il refuge in Mexico.

An Unwise and Unjust Demand upon
Gillette.

The democratic press OF the entire
West has time and again denounced
the methods by which COMMITTEES in
legislative bodies have been con-
structed for the sole purpose Of thwart
ing the public will as. expressed In
the election OF members Of the Leg.
islative bodies. This Is accom-
plished by making up committee
SO that a majority Of it will report
against the enactment Of any meas
ure demanded by the people as
shown in the election Of their repre-.
sentatives. When any member in
accordance with the demands Of the
people introduces q bill in the inter-
est OF the laboring men, the farmers,
producers, and merchants Of the
State, instead OF its being put upon
its passage, it goes to committee
which has been organized to chuck
all such bills into some pigeon hole,
to sleep the sleep ofdea.h. There
may be majority OF the body in
favor OF the measure, but commit
tee OF that body appointed by its
presiding officer with that very end
in view, is able to beat any majority
less than two-thirds, and thus pre-
vent all action upon the measure, nc
matter how saluta-y or wise It may
be, or the extent to which It would
benefit the masses. In our own leg
islature the most salutary legislation
has been defeated in committee, the
bill lacking the two-thirds to take 1t
from the pegeon hole the committee
has given it, and get 1t before the
house. And now o portion OF this
same democratic press is demanding
Of Mr.. Gillette that he pledge him.
sell. in making up the committees Of
the Senate, should he be elected, t.
do it In such a way as to accomplish
just such ends as they have unstint-
ingly denounced when done by q
political opponent. To this most un-
just and anti-democratic demand
Mr.. Gillette in his sound and sensi.
BILE letter to Mr.. K;ppe made reply
before the demand In these noble
democratic words:
II do not understand II to be the
duty Of the Governor or Lieut. Gov.
crnor to thwart the popular will, bu'
to carry 1t out, whatever It may be
regardless Of individual views OF
preferences
From this sound democratic prin-
ciple we believe Mr.. Gillette will not
retract. II he promises to put ul
one committee to thwart the public
wish, he would be as unsafe to the
public welfare as Lieut. Governor
Manning, or as Speaker Wolf, have
shown themselves. A promise te
commit one wrong will betray Q
weakness that will tend to defeat
overwhelming and disastrous.

integrated pulmonary exudate. AS to the
symptoms of pleuro-pneumonia we have
two stages. In the first, which is the incu-
bative, the symptoms are not very well
marked, but when present are as follows:
Rise in temperature from l to o.,
accompanied with slight cough. noticed
after the animal has been watered The
coat is rough, and the respirations are in
creased. The second stage shows us better
marked symptoms. The temperature runs
up to 106 Q Fahrenheit; the extremities are
hot at times and then cold. The cough is
more painful, and we have discharge from
the eyes and nose, accompanied with fetld
breath. On percussion there is dizziness
over the region of the lung affected.
The contagiOn is spread through the me-
dunn of the air, and also through the eXcre-
tions. 1t is not safe for healthy animals to
come within $50 yards of the quarantine.
The virus lasts as long as six months.

THE PRICES.

The wheat markets yesterday were weaker
and lower all around. AT Chicago the market
was feverish and excited and finally closed
just where it began in the morning. New
York and Duluth were just the same as Chi
cago. At Minneapolis wheat was fiat and
lower. In St. Paul the same. 1t is reported
that some of the heavy bankers and operators
on the stock market held meeting and de-
termined to put an end to the decline of the
past day or two. If they did they succeeded.
for the market commenced firm and strong,
and so continued all day with the exception
of a very moderate reaction during the first
hour. The Vanderbilts exhibited the. greatest
strength St. Paul led the list in the amount
of business done. Northwestern is up ~
Manitoba and Omaha common show gains of
~ each. The other gains were generally for
more than l and less than per cent. In one
day the market has regalned all that it lost
since Friday evening.

DTsARM1NG OPPOSITION.

The president has disarmed factious OPP
position from the Republican senate by the
shrewd device of taking the senators into
his confidence. 1t is not necessary for the
president to take all of the Republican SEN
ators into this confidential relation. He
can select the most influential of them and
thus fortify himself against the assault
which LOGAN and MAHoNE have mapped
out, and will secure the confirmation of his
appointments in spite of the kicking ele-
ment in the senate There is no precedent
for the Republicans to make opposition
to the presidents appointments on political
grounds. When the senate was Democratic
and the executive was Republican there was
no attempt to embarrass the president by re-
jecting his appointments. 1t would be dis
graceful for dgnified body like the senate
to engage in any such squabble. The Re-
publican senators who have an apprecia-
ton of the dignity of their station realize this
fact, and will do just as Senator HAWLEY
did, go to the president in person, and lay
before him any objections they may have
against any of his appointees. After a
frank and full discussion of the matter be-
tween the senator and the president, it will
be easy to reach satisfactory conclusion.
Mr.. CLEVELAND has wisely invited the
Republican senators to these conferences.
At the same time it is not necessary, in
order to coneiliate Republican opposition,
that the president should consent to turn
over the federal patronage to these sena-
tors,

PHYSICAL CULTURE.

Parlor prize fighting is the latest craze in
the East, and promises to be the favorte
social amusement during the coming winter
in New York. At small entertainment
given by the Racquet club of that city the
other evening, which was attended by a
large number of the leading society ladies
of the metropolis, and presided over by the
genial and popular New York banker, Mr..
WILLIAM r. TRAVIS, the most attractive
feature of the entertainment was sparring
match between the well-known sluggers,
MIKE DONOVAN and GoNICOWRIA. A
ring was made in one of the velvet-carpeted
parlors and the ladies sat around on camp
stools, while the sluggers pommeled each
other to the delight of the assembled audi
ence, which included many OF the sciOns of
the old Knickerbocker families. Miss
MARY ANDERSON was one of the guests.
After the slugging was over there was a
wrestling match between two famous ath-
letes, and then all adjourned to collation.
of champagne and terrapin. After all it
may not be bad thing for social life to
have physical culture supplant the enervat-
ing customs which now prevail, and there
are plenty of people who would prefer to
witness decent glove contest to the round
dances
