Iowa is loyal state and loves its
soldiers as demonstrated in the erection
Of the Soldiers Home, now completed
and occupied at MarshalltOwn. And it
Is proposed to go further and provide
partially for those who for sufficient
reason cannot accept the hospitality Of
the home. A bill Of this nature has
been introduced by Capt. Head. 1t
provides stipend for soldiers who can
not 60 to Des Moines, and its wisdom
is obvious, as it is not only an exhibition
Of state gratitude but is as well in the
interests of economy. There are many
soldiers partially disabled, who can COM
mand good wages portion of the year
or working season, and who have fam
lilies from whom they are 10th to separ-
ate, that can in such time maintain
themselves, while the new bill provides
an amount that would scarcely exceed
their expense to the state if they were
at the home. 1t would also lift a bur
den from some of the counties.

The tendency from the first has been
10 deal with passenger traffic, and as
this interest is in imminent danger the
opposition tries to turn the attention
to freight rates, as tn" most important
interest and accompanied by the great
est extortion. Their attitude after
having favored an express 2-cent fare
plank in the platform is not more i'll
genious than their fei9nPd solicitations
for freight shippers. 1t is but fair to
admit, however, that some very strong
arguments are submitted supporting
the claim of the railroads that the Scent
fare Is not the bonanza that it is com
monty supposed to be, and that in the
event Of reduction, the passenger ser
vice must of necessity be impaired. We
believe that the legislature lis inclined
to deal fairly with all parties in interest
and will not make enactmcnts that will
cripple the companies now operating in
in the state Ii the agitation results in
thorough study of the subject so that
such legislation will be ruled by intelli
gence rather than by prejudice or the
lobby, the result will be worthy the
time occupied.

THE measure to reduce the salary
Of county superintendent from
81 to SO per day is in the interests of
a misguided economy When it is con-
sidered that the faithful discharge of
the duties imposed upon such officers
requires the most intelligent men the
state affords the fact will be impressed
that the proposed reduction would i'm
pair the service. The person incapable
Of commanding an aggregate salary at
least equal to the compensation allowed
superintendent under existing laws is
unworthy of election to an Office where
In he has virtual control of the school
system of county. Iowa schools are
proud boast of the state, result due
in great measure to the efficient edu-
Gators who have held the county Office
but to reduce the salary would be to
drive capable men from the tisld of as
pirants and abandon one of the chiefest
interests to inferior pedaGogues and
political nincOmpoop3.

W. f.. Andrews, for several years
president of the newspaper Union at
Des Moines, has disposed of his interest
in that concern to Messrs. w. A. Bunk
er, Jas. Joslya and w. II. Welsh, the
consideration being SllQNQQ. The
ready print" fellows make more out OF
the business than the country publish
ers. We don't see why cooperative
publishing house, run by Iowa news
paper, men could not be made to pay. All
of Andrews customers put together did
not clear $4,000 in the last ten years.

Prior to his venture which has re-
turned such rich results Andrews was
a newspaper reporter on medium sal
airy. That there isa big profit in the
ready print business is proven by the
circumstances of all engaged therein.
They domlneef Over country publishers
and give occasional notice OF an ad-
vance in prices with blandness that is
refreshing. They have resorted to pool.
ing and deprived patrons of the advant-
ages of open competition. We have
considered ths cooperative concern
mentioned by the Herald, and belieye
it could be made paying business if
properly organized.

CoSGREssMAN HAYES, of the second
district, has denied the right of petition
70 portion of his district, \ petition
signed by large number Of his con-
stituents and their wives, asking for
prohibition in the District of Columbia
was sent to him asking that it be pre-
scented u congress. 1t was returned to
the petitioners with an opinion to the
effect that he was not in favor of pro-
hibition and that the sigpers we're in
competent to petition the national leg
islators. Whatever the gentleman's
opinion might be courtesy and duty de.
snanded that he should comply with
the request OF the three hundred petit
TONERS. Mr.. Hayes is an outSpoken
enemy of prohibition. He Is an ayowed
friend OF the liquor cause. Or the
bench he became distinguished for his
decision against law and evidence
when the matter in controversy per-
tanned to these subjects, but he is the
only Iowa congressman Of such narrow
mirdedness and bigotry as to deny this
right. He was elected to represent
the democratic and law ignoring Sec
Ond district, and has doubtless met
their fOndest expectations.

Mr.. HUTCInNs, chairman of the sen.
ate committee on ways and means has
issued his estimates of the state f.
nances, which show somewhat more
clearly the actual condition of affairs
than the sanguine literature Of the re.
publican campaign or the diabolical
democratic papers issued in their OK
tremity. For the first six months of the
current year the expenses are estimated
Mt sl,Ol0,OOO: expenditures, 1894, 600;
leaving of the floating debt existing
Dec. 3ist last, of 500, 97s.39, q balance
Of slSS,97s.A1. Continuing the account
TO the close of the year the estimate
leaves q balance in the treasury Of
SlOO,g7S.SD; and at the end Of 1889 there
would be the handsome sum In the
treasury vaults of S229,0s7.eo, However,
these estimates do not include the ap,
preparations to he made 10y the leg
islature. Iowa has unsurpassed insti,
tions for the unfortunates, and the
second best capitol in the Union, all of
which have been erected in the recent
past so that the condition of affairs
when considered by the intelligent pop
illace, is very satisfactory.

Under the Flag.

Coroner Lass impaneled a jury and
held formal inquest over the remains
of Stephen Archer whose very sudden
demise was noted In these columns last
week, that body rendering decision
that deceased came to his death by
cause unknown. However, there is no
doubt in the minds of the physician
and relatives that death was caused by
heart disease of long duration.
A very sad incident in the bereave-
ment and one which made the aged
widow well nigh inconsolable in her
grief was the fact of her absence in
Illinois when death came SO suddenly
upon her life companion. She was I'M
able to reach here before Saturday af-
ternoon.
The funeral was held at the Presby-
terrain church on Sunday and a very
appropriate sermon was delivered by
the Rev. Dickinson. A very large con-
course Of sympathizing friends were in
attendance and followed the remains to
their last resting place in Maple Grove
cemetery. The impressive ceremonial
rites Of the &. a. X. were performed at
the grave, while the casket ELI route
from the church to the cemetery was
covered with the American flag reflect
ing upon the dead soldier the glory he
had battled to sustain. The Sons OF
Veterans attended in uniform, and as
sisted the beautiful and solemnly lm
pressiye ceremonies.

Republican Gains in the South:

Mr.. Clarskson in pursuing his argyll
ment in favor of making broader the
national republican platform, shows the
growth of the republican votes there
by tabulated, statement, and that it
has been steady growth rather than
an impetus. Such being the increase
during the years of lcthargy what may
we not expect since the introduction OF
manufacturing interests whose exist
ence is dependent upon the perpetuation
of the republican party. The line Of
argument suggests that Mr.. Clarkson
had thoroughly studied his subject and
is prepared to meet all adverse criticism
with convincing facts. The following
extract is taken from an editorial com
ment upon the same subject:
1t is not until we come to the demo.
cratic border states, and make an analy.
sis of the votes there for seven years
that we find any substantial republican
gains. In Virginia, there is republi'
can gain of fifteen per cent, and dem.
ocratic loss of fifteen per cent, or a net
republican gain of thirty per cent.
In West Virginia, there is republican
gain of nine per cent, and in Kentucky
a net gain of ten per cent. In the Dor
der states Of Virginia, West Virginia
Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri
there is a republican gain Of thirty sir
per cent. We present these figures tc
those who say that there is no impulse
In the south toward the republican
party, and that there is nothing to gain
by making our party platform so broad
as to the future, that many thousands OF
men who were in the rebel army, and
who are with the republican party or
present issues, may vote its ticket neXi
fall. Another proof that the platform
may be brOadened to the party's profit
without the least surrender of principle
is furnished from the fact that the re
publicans gained more votes in thu
border states on local platforms than OF
the party's national platform. Virgins
made its own platforms in 1886 anc
1856 it elected six congressman out Of
ten, and carried seventy eight OF tn,
one hundred counties. This was don,
on platforms which did not repel for
mer rebel soldiers. That such platform!
did gain new strength to the party i!
shown by the vote in the ninth distric
Of Virginia, in which il carried thirteei
counties in which the white population
is more than six times the colOred. j
drew its strength from the whites. Ii
1887. on legislative tickets and loca
Platforms there was a republican ma
jOrity OF 200 iii tn" state.
