THE republican candidate for county
superintendent, Prof. d. P. Repass, is
young man who secured thorough ed
ucation, to which has been added years
of valuable experience as instructor,
In educational matters he is an en-
fhusiastic without hobbies, but with
wen defined ideas of theory and prac-
tice. The schools of our county have
been in good hands and are we'll advanc-
ed, having been so thoroughly tHbued
with modern practices that any step
backward might be considered as pub
lie calamity. 1t is certain that Prof.
Repass is well qualified to continue the
good work already introduced, and his
triumphant election we confidently an

SENATOR ALLISON Is conducting
campaign of strong and unanswerable
argument in favor of republican poll
cies, national and state. While 1t is in
no way necessary that the senator can
vass the state in his own behalf his
strong exposition of paramount politi-
cal subjects will per force strengthen
him with the people. There is not a
man in public life who has acquired
more of information in relation to
questions of public policy than Iowa's
senior senator, and his intelligence and
sound wisdom is an adornment to the

CHICAGO Tribune:-Poor's statistics
show that the interstate commerce act
has saved to shippers the enormous sum
of 100000, which would have been
LEVIED on the traffic of last year if the
rates of 1867 had continued to prevail
A large part of this enormous saving
went to the farm producers of food prod
ucts, but they are still unable to com
mand decent profit Notwithstanding
the reduction in the charges of the mid
dlemen and of transportation. The
whole trouble is in the increase of pro,
duction in the west, which has expanded
far beyond the power of consumption.

SOME of the disgraceful features
which usually appear during the clos
ing hours of campaigns may already be
detected in the current canvass. The
personal honor of life time is traduc-
ed by the slanderous tongue of the OPP
position, and charges made that cannot
be substantiated but when met prove
to be but base coins of unprincipled in
ventors. We can only believe that the
influence will react upon the instigator.
All of the republican candidates are
men who have enjoyed the acquaintance
for continuous years, whose identity
can be creditably established by honor
able records and they are not vulnerable
to charges made late in campaign.

No promise of compromise on the
part of democratic candidate for the
legislature should induce republicans to
give them support. 1t may be that q
democratic candidate is better than his
party: 1t may be that he is not in sym
pathy with the proposition of his party
to legislate retrogressively, but the fact
remains that if he has party pride or
personal honor he will stand and IL need
be die upon the platform promulgated
at Sioux City. The support that comes
to his party from an outlawed business
and which is in hopes of reinstatement
in the event of democratic success, is
personal support and the party or in
dividual legislator must meet the debt
Of honor by obeying its behssts, The

DEMOCRATIC candidates for the legis
lature have powerful corruption fund
behind them this year. The brewers
and distiiers, notwithstanding their
claim that prohibition does not prohibit,
are contributing literally to the fund,
in hopes that the saloon may be re-es
tablished. That object cannot be &C
complished as the voters who have
made prohibition possible will see that
it is maintained. No republican can
afford to vote for democratic candidate
for the legislature.

THE people of Iowa can have little
confidence in party whose platform
resolutions are in direct contradiction
of their past policies and practices.
The democratic party resolves in favor
of the Australian system in order to re-
form the ballot, but charges of corrup-
ton at the polls are uniformly in dem
ocratic precincts. If the ballot has
always been preserved pure in the
United States the democratic party
would not have gained supremacy in
1884. The democratic party resolves in
favor of controlling corporations, but
the republican party found it entrench-
ed with corporations in the memorable
fight of last year, and in which one of
the truest men in the state was defeat
ed by democratic and corporation in
tiuence for the Office of railway COM
missioner. "In the interests of tenn
perance" the democratic party resolves
in favor of licensing saloons, but the
democratic party in Iowa never partici-
pated in the interests of temperance,
and never had an honest intention of
restricting the sale of liquor. AS par
W it has fought all temperance legisla
ton, and now only adopts the lying in
troductOry to its resolution to catch the
unthoughtful and furnish excuse for
the conscientious minions at its behest.
On this question the democratic party
is theoretically all things to all men, but
practically it for the re-eStablishment
of the saloon as a state institutions; it
: is bound and obligated to the liquor in
terests. The further resolution invit-
ing all persons. irrespective Of former
affiliations is becoming and consiStenct,
| since the state ticket is scrap heap
made up of the wrecks OF political ac-
! cidents. There is no assurance that the
| party is in sympathy with its resolu-
tons; indeed the presumption is that it
will pursue its practices of former years
without interruption.
