An interesting war of words is now
being wagcu between the acknowledged
giants OF Iowa journalism, ]. ). Clark
son of the state Register, and Geo. ID.
Perkins Of the Sioux City JOuTHal,
and which smacllS of the way it is done
in the buc0lic districts. 1t was evident
ly melted BY the jealousy of the pro
feSSiOn, as the Inference, suggestion and
tendency Of the Wrangle is to belittle
Clark3on's influence in national politics
on one hand, and on the other to show
that Perkins would not have been ap-
pointed United states senator in case
Allison had accepted Cabinet port
folio 1t is undoubtedly true that
ClarkSon is disappointed because Ali
son declined cabinet position, as he
in common with the republicans of
Iowa hoped he would accept, yet the
Iowa member of the national commit
tee could occupy a position at the pres
ident's table If he wished. 1t is also
true that while Iowa republicans &C
cord all honor to Perkins, and would be
pleased to see him placed in official
prominence, he IS not in the rank from
which AllisOu'g successor might be chos,
en- in the now remote emergency. But
this war of the ring masters is amusing,
and its reading is worth the price OF
both papers.

REFORM NEEDED.

The prospects for ballot reform are
not encouraging so long as political
crimes are committed, acknowledged
by acquiescence and apOlOgized for by
one of the great parties of the republic.
The tragic death of John NJ Clayton, in
Arkansas last week, was cold blooded
and without excuse. Clayton was can
didate for congress and was defeated
on The face of the returns, but because
he established legal investigation in Il
precinct where palpable fraud existed,
he was shot down, paying the penalty
with his life. Another murder was at
tempted, but failed in execution, though
the ball passed through the tleshy part
of the neck Of the intended victim.
Senator Sherman has framed a bill
whose purpose is to secure free ballot
and honest count III the south, but its
provisions will be operative i'll the north
as well. 1t establishes federal authori-
ty over the ballot boxes in cases where
federal officers are being selected and
separates them from the election for
state officers. The bill as drafted pro-
vides that the elections for federal and
state officers be held on separate days,
but majority of opinion is in favor OF
holding them on the same day, making
the distinction by establishing separate
polling places, with federal officers in
charge of that wherein are cast the bal
lots for congressman, electors, etc.
With the establishment and conscien-
tious administration of this system its
object could be attained, and while bull.
doing tactics regarding state officers
might continue to prevail, honest ex.
preston could be secured in congress
iOnal elections. At the same time il
would remove the personal danger
which now threatens every active re-
publican, and they would be at greater
liberty to express opinions and circulate
ideas, The boast OF political freedom
and right of speech is idle SO long as
such crimes as that above mentioned
are possible in any part of the republic
We have few patriots who will become
martyrs for opinian's sake in quiet times
of peace and unnecessarily land such
men and methods as those employed to
end the life of John NJ. Clayton are IL
able to make the minority submissive
to the dictates Of the majority in such
localities. Clayton simply endeayored
to ascertain by legal procedure the al
legged fact of fraud and for that he died
1t would Sc wise to establish federal
authority over federal elections, and the
dignity Of the subject is worthy OF the
administration soon to take charge Of
public affairs.
Another remedy for crimes against
the ballot is proposed IN the disfran-
chisement for period of ten years of
all convicted of bribery. This feature
of political disease is assuming alarm
ing proportions, and the massing of a
large and ignorant purchaseable vote
in the centers of population threatens
to thwart the will of the majority of
honest voters. This remedy would
prove more effectual in this particular
than anything else, as it threatens the
stock in trade of the floating vote. BY
tolerant acquiesence the public consci-
ence is becoming calous to these wrongs,
and it is indeed time that determined
action be taken.

TIE rumor that Allison was going
into the cabinet gave rise to a scramble
for his seat in the senate which is not
calculated to promote party interests in
the state. The scramble was premature
and i'll advised, and its futility has Gre
ated an illnatured disappointment
which seeks for an excuse, and in GER
tain localities the senator has been cen,
sured for declining. But so far as the
public has knowledge lis never intimat'
ed that he desired cabinet position or
would accept one if rendered, so that he
was at liberty to consult his own judg-
ment and act accordingly. and those
who were disappointed must look else
where for vindication of their haste.

CONGRESS- should refuse a seat to
Breckenridge, whose election the muir
dered John NJ. Clayton was manfully
and legally contesting. 1t is not to be
expected that the community whose
conscience is so dead or intimidated
that such crimes are possible will see
that the wrong is righted. and congress
should exercise its authority and pursue
the investigation to satisfactory con
elusion or order a new election. In that
ease he viii be remembered as marty
to the cause of fair election, while if il
be recognized as passing incident, al
idiosyncracy of American politics con
gress cannot shirk a share Of the re
sponsibiIity for whatever encourage
ment the tragedy may offer to politica
criminals in other parts OF the realm.

TnE hopes of those who were Juggling
at the tails OF the senatorial toga are
blasted since Allison has peremptorily
declined to become a member of Harri-
sons cabinet. The senator's action is
final, the result of thoughtful consider
alton, and was influenced more by his
colleagues persuasions than by prema-
turc ambitions for presidential honors
in 1892. The place he might occupy in
the presidential council can be more
easily supplied than his place in the sen-
ate. In that position he is a credit To
the Iiawkeye state. and there will be
few to regret his determination. The
only othercatinet possibility from Iowa
Is Mr.. Clarkson, and he is reported as
being unwilling TO accept such position.
