THE republican party may well feel
proud of its record, and it is cause for
congratulation that democratic orators
and press, however frantic and desper-
ate, can find so little of which to COM
plain. tits remembered that the repub
lican party has managed the business
interests of the state for long and sue
cessive years; it has expended millions
of dollars in building a magnificent state
capitol and in the erection of charitable
institutions, and yet the most ardent
advocate of democracy can not find in
all the record an instance of jobbery or
dishonesty. All of the states enter
prises have been managed and conduct
ed by the republican party in a manner
to maintain the dignity of the state and
to glorify its name among the sister
hood. The democrats virtually concede
that the past is all right, and the fact is
that they are not worried at heart about
the future.

A detailed census has been taken OF
the buildings in Des Moines formerly
occupied by rumshops, and it is shown
that almost without exception they are
now occupied by legitimate business
that out of $50 such places less than
half dozen are not today used for dry
goods stores, groceries, butcher shops,
etc, Notwithstanding the fact that since
prohibition was enforced many new
business blocks have been built in Des
Moines.
Well, this is pretty good evidence, for
one thing, that prohibition of saloons
does prohibit saloons. 1t also corrob-
crates a recent side remark of The Jour
nal that prohibition hasn't ruined"
anything in Iowa except the saloons, for
we have the word of the Des Moines
Leader that Des Moines is prosper
Gus" and that real estate values are
steadily rising."-Siour city Journal,

REPUBLICANS.

The year 1889 is not an "off year" in
the politics of Iowa. The governor and
a majority of the legislature are to be
elected, effecting the veal or woe of the
state for the next two years. The leg
islature should be closely guarded, and
no republican should concede comfort
to the opposition. Audubon county
should contribute its proportion to the
legislature, that tried and trusted mem
Der Hon. VIM. Walker. He is right on
all questions now prominent ins Iowa
politics, and his honor and integrity are
guarantees that he will vote in accor-
dance with his convictions.
In the county affairs it is the most
important of the alternating years.
Eight county officers are to be elected,
nearly all of which are of the utmost
importance. The ability and WORTH
ness of all the candidates are well
known, and the gentlemen are generally
personally known to the reader. 1t is
now time to organize for the hearty and
unanimous support of the whole ticket
Let all republicans put away differences
if any exist, and give all support to the
republican ticket because it is the choice
of the republican convention. Let the
lines between the parties be distinctly
drawn, and republicans will win the
victory to which they are entitled by
right of the majority. Vote straight
and make the majorities equal all the
way down the ticket.
Republicans should remember the
warning of history, so often reiterated
that the danger this year is from apathy
and over confidence. Every republican
should arrange to go to the polls early
do his duty, and then see that the full
vote is brought out. Audubon county
republicans can win the banner offered
by the Des Moines Tippecanoe club by
earnest and timely work. State and
county success depends upon the effort
of individual republicans, and we earn
estly urge every one to do his whole
duty.

An Intelligent Jury Of the People

The papers are saying great deal
about the need of more intelligence in
the jury box. But if it is important
that those who decide disputes between
man and man should have high de-
gree of intelligence, how much more
reasonable is it that those who by the
ballot decide the destinies of the Nation
should be intelligent men. Phe whole
theory upon which popular suffrage
finds its approval is overthrown, when
the ballot is given to those who are so
ignorant of American affairs that they
do not know how to cast it intelligently.
In the recent election in Montana $50
Italians, at one place, We're marched in
body to the polls, and were allowed to
cast their ballots by handing to the
Judge of elections NOTICE reading as
follows:
can neither speak nor read the Eng
lish language. l desire to vote the
straight Democratic ticket.
1t was an outrage upon the citizen
ship of every intelligent voter to permit
such men to vote, and the otfense would
not have been mitigated if they had
asked to vote the Republican ticket
What do Italian laborers who have been
in this country but short time, and
cannot read or speak the English
language, know about the principles of
government, and public polieys Even
though they may have been naturalized
by the hasty action of lenient laws, they
are so clearly lacking in qualifications
for suffrage, that they ought not to vote
The theory of popular suffrage is the
extension of the jury box idea. The
whole people is the jury to which is sub
mitted for approval or condemnation
the administration of public affairs.
The people decide at the polls whether
this or that public policy shall prevail.
They have in the ballot the instrument
which can build up or tear down. But
the theory on which popular govern
ment is defended, implies intelligence
and moral independence in those who
cast the ballot.
In earlier years, before opportunities
for education were so widely diffused,
there were some good citizens who never
learned to read or write. They kept in.
formed to some extent on public mat.
tiers, and exercised the right of suffrage
as well as they knew how, and if called
upon to defend the nations life, they
responded with cheerful promptness
But there is no excuse now for any
child to grow up in ignorance. The
school house is too near, and the means
of education are too easily supplied t.
excuse illiteracy. Some of the new
states propose that no one shall be al
lowed to vote who cannot read the Eng
fish language. 1t might be well for al
the states to put similar conditions up
on suffrage for those who have not ye
obtained it. While intelligence doe
not necessarily insure public morality
it goes long way toward that enc

If THE prospect of democratic man
agement of state affairs really confront,
ed the people of Iowa, we think there
would be more frequent reference to
the record of other states, where it has
been in control. Where the democratic
party has been in control of state or
county taxes are high and a state debt
of monumental proportions may be
found among its archives. There Is
usually scandal with reference to the
management of state institutions, ac-
companied by horrifying details of the
abuse of inmates. Such prospect
would not be complacently contemplate
ed by the good people of Iowa. But
there is no serious consideration of such
a probability. The people of Iowa are
well satisfied with republican manage
ment of affairs, and have no idea imme'
date or remote of making change.
Relying upon the record of the past they
contemplate the future with confidence.
