4 DISTRICT judge in eastern Iowa
has declared the registration Law I'M
constitutional and the democratic press
sends up yell Of rejoicing that rands
the air. The point will be submitted
to the supreme court for final decision,
but however it may terminate, This
democratic rejoicing over the fact that
the polls are again open to corruption
IS significant. The democratic party is
in power today by virtue of fraud per-
petrated at the ballot box. If the pro-
lection given by the registration law
shall be taken away, they have hope Of
Introducing southern methods in Iowa.
That party has appealed to the lowest
classes that find rendezvous in the .ss-
loon. and hesitate before no form of
fraud to gain accessions to its ranks. 1t
stands now with renewed hope because
it will in the event this law is uncOnsti'
tutional, have access whereby it may
work its repeating and tissue ballo,
methods. As many legal votes have
been lost to republicans as democrats
by the law in question. and yet we have
heard no republican voice declaring fol
its repeal.

The reelection of James f. Wilson
to the United States is assured unless
under currents of public sentiment are
in operation. Whatever opposition has
developed was on the avowed principle
OF securing soldier as his successor,
and that has been openly. The Home.
stead has dealt undetermined thrusts, but
Its influence was overshadOwed by the
personal nature of antagonism. The
soldier Issue has been hampered by the
demagogicel TRADE of the Homestead
and its minions, and because a multi
plieity of candidates has been introduc-
ed. Mr.. Wilson has made All able sen
ator, whose experience is valuable to
the state and secures prestige which
would require years to acquire by new
member, the point of equal ability con-
ceded.

Taenty-Second General Assembly.


The Solons Of Iowa will convene next
Monday. They will not enter
upon the performance of their duties
nnadvised. Indeed, suggestions have
been made by conventions, newspapers
and the public generally outlining or
directing a program which is well nigh
impossible of execution. To legislate
wisely upon all the subjcets introduced
would occupy decade, as the iirst
movement necessary is to ascertain the
present condition of the subject and
there must follow faithful conSidera-
tion of the effect of proposed legislation.
Proposed remedies frequently fail of
accomplishing the desired end, while
the motives of the reformer often
times lose luster by investigation as
vas the case with Cassatt and his mill
ing bill of two years ago. The stump
orators can cite many real and imagin-
AIRY subjects needing legislation, ahd in
their campaign OratOry profess to pos
sess means to relieve the country, but
st appears 70 be true that the great and
perhaps misguided public fails TO dele
gate these statesman to perform its
business.
Elsewhere will be found synopsis
Of secretary of state Jackson's report
demonstrating the business avocations
OF the menbGYs of this assembly, from
which it will be concluded that it is a
body of men capable, and We believe as
a whole inclined to legislate In the IN
serests OF confding constituency
rxther than fail y prey to the lobby cor
ruptionists. Ii is body that faithfully
represents the people and the diversi
fed interests of Iowa. Against K thu
cry Of demagogy cannot be raised by
those protesting sincere criticism. II
will honestly consider the questions
and measures presented, and will give
u careful hearing to all. There are GONE
yneasures of great Importance which
aaye been argued during the campaign
which if this body shall carefully con
slider, it will find we believe, fit subject:
for their directing power, but to expec
n hnaI settlement of these questions j
more than is warranted by reason. Tha
1t will enact some wholesomelaws, will
a view to rendering an account to thu
people rather than the demagogues, i
the mission OF the reconstructed gen
eral assembly.
