The Republicans, Of Iowa, or large
portion of them, held a convention at
Des Mcines last week and passed reso-
lutions of an anti.prohibition character
and in favor Of high license and local
option. Whether this action results in
republican defeat, it matters not. Pro-
hibition has no business in republican
platforms and the sooner it is gotten
out, the better it will be for the party.
1t may suffer defeat at the staff in con-
sequence, the same as it did when en-
dorsing prohibition, but what of it? In
the end it is bound to win.

The enemies of Senator Ingalls, are
making great efforts to defeat him for
reelection. Most of those who are
working in that direction are of the
Bourbon style and type, and for that
reason it is to be hoped that they will
fail. ingalls, may not be the model
statesman, but he is a pretty good man
TO have around just the same. In cases
where a man is needed, who can pull
the Southern Brigadiers over the Goals,
Ingalls, is always ready and on hand,
and it would be a great trick for Kan
sas to play on the country to refuse te
return him.

A lively time is on in St. Paul polit-
les. The democrats, apparently harmon
ious, have nominated Robert Smith
for mayor, and the chances are that he
will be elected The republicans have
several candidates in view, principally
Col. Kiefer, prominent German. To
his nomination, however, the Volks-
zeitung objects, alleging an attempt on
the part of party leaders to use Kiefer
as q tool to draw the German vote in
the fall election. Whether a move for
that purpose is intended or not, the
Volkszeitung would in any event oppose
his election. and Kiefer would be sue
cessful only in securing defeat. 1t would
be better therefore for the republicans
of St. Paul to leave all schemes for fur
thering future plans aside and unite in
choosing a leader solely for the purpose
of displacing the democratic machine,
which now runs the city and whose re-
moval would be for the better standing
Of the town.

The vote on the Mills bill, on the SEN
ate tariff measure, on Sherman's anti
trust bill and in fact on every measure
that has of late been presented in Con-
gress goes to show that democrats will
invariably vote almost solidly for bill
drafted by a democrat, and as invari-
ably and as solidly against one pre-
pared by a republican. The merits of
the act do not enter into consideration.
Had that piece of nonsense. called the
Blair educational humbug, been offered
by a democrat, and had the democrats
been in majority, we are satisfied that
it would have passed. Asi is, with a
republican majority it did not, and the
republicans deserve credit for knock
ing it out: To be sure, these same
claims of partisanship can be said to
some extent of the republicans, but in
no case is it so true of them as of the
democrats. The vote on this same
Blair bill is evidence in proof, while the
ballot on the antitrust measure sus-
tains our statements and marks the de-
mocrats as partisan through and
through.

Senator Davis dependent pension
bill has passed the senate by a vote of
~ to -. 1t provides for a pension Of
S12 a month for any man, who served
three months or more in the war, and
who, being dependent upon his own
daily labor for support. is now or may
hereafter be suffering from mental or
physical disability, not the result of his
own vicious habits, uniting him for
the performance of labor in such de-
gree as to render him unable to earn
support. From this 1t will be seen that
a distinction, absent in the present pen
sion laws, is made between the helpless
and the wealthy. Only those veterans,
honorably discharged and who have
reached the point where they are no
longer able to support themselves, are
entitled to consideration under the Da-
Wis measure. Widows and children are
also provided for as well as parents of
veterans, whose death leaves them in a
condition Of dependence on others for
support. Children are to draw 81 per
month until 16 years Of age, and other
relatives amounts corresponding to those
allowed by the present law, in case the
veteran dies from causes that can be
traced to army services. The sum that
will be expended in carrying out the
law will of course be large, but, consid-
ering that it provides for those only,
who are in need, no friend OF the old
soldier and his family will begrudge the
outlay.

1t is now stated on authority, that is
supposed to be reliable, that the name
OF McGiil will again be presented to the
the republican convention in opposition
Merriam. AS to the purpose or rea-
son why, we are in darkness. The ex-
Governor certainly cannot hope for the
nomination. That is out of the cues
ton. All he can possibly look for is
the defeat of Merriam,-a desire which
by no means can stand to his credit
and it is extremely doubtful if he can
accomplish even that, for although he
is we'll liked, in this respect public SEN
timent is not in his favor.
The democratic party is a party of
policy. It opposes protection because
republicans are supposed to favor it..
1t stands in nearly every state of the
Union as against high license, for the
simple reason that the opposite party
has always championed it. In Iowa
alone are the democrats known to be
high license advocates, and there only
because the republicans have been
dupes enough to allow a lot of prohi-
bitionists, who are ever ready to de-
mand the earth, to tie them down to
certain crankish dogmas and theories,
that never were known to work. If
81 Z
the republicans in that state had hap
pened to stand on the rightside of this
question, the democrats out Of policy
would take up the cudgels as easily in
opposition to the beliefs that they now
accept, as they eyer did in urging them.
They know well enough that in doing
SO and no matter how they stand, they
viii lose no votes from their own party
while they stand great chances Of draw
ing strength from others. It's the po-
lite way Of doing things, if it isn't ex-
actly consistent.

In Milwaukee last Tuesday the de-
mocrats carried the municipal elections
by a heavy majority. The vote hinged
principally on the Bennett law, which
is now in force in Wisconsin and which
provides that all children be Taught to
a limited degree in tho English Ian.
guage Considering that this is
America, the law does not seem an un-
reasonable one, and although the Mil
waukee election will in no wise effect it
as it now stands, it forms an indication
of what will be done throughout the
state in the fall. Republicans are gen.
orally in favor of the measure, but de-
mocrats out of policy refuse to endorse
it, and the German Lutherans and
Catholics of the former on this issue
side with the latter. That and that
alone accounts for the democratic ma
jority.

Her eyes and hands do dot indicate death by drowning. But further examination was not made before the interment in the town ceme- tery. In the condition the body was taken in 1t was practically impossible. but it will not be impossible to examine the skull and body after . few days, it is said. Coroner Mix will doubtless take the case in hand at once. Since the publication of Mics Whiton's statement this evening others have come forward to testify to her good character and to the impossibility of suicide. Mrs. En- his, with whom she lived, speaks very highly of her, and says that she told her Sunday,
 January 5, that she must go elsewhere to live simply because she had no further use for her services and could not afford to keep her. All day on the 9th she was out looking for work. This
 evening the working girls of the city are much exercised about the matter and are in-
 auguratinR a movement to make contribu-
 tions among themselves for fitting burial
 for the girl and monument. The detec.
 tives at present feel hampsred by the lack of
 an examination of the remains, but cannot
 abandon the theory of murder of the foulest type. It is a strongly expressed desire that this may not go down into history as another profound Connecticut mystery. Coroner Mix will probably be here tomorrow.

NO PROMOTIONS MADE.

Clerk Downes StouSly Refuses to
 Have the Minutes Of the Last Meet
 ing ef the Poltec Commissloners Re-
 corded i'm HIS Books - A Mounted
 Policeman for the Precinct.
 City Clerk Downes made vigorous de- fenss of what he considers his rights, at the meeting of the police commissioners last eve- ming.
 The minutes of the last meeting were read by Commissioner Benton and the motion made by Commissioner Smith that they be accepted. To MT. Andrews request for an opinion, City Clerk Downes replied vigorously. refuse to record them myself and refuse to allow any one else to record them on my books, for the safe custody of which am under $20,0OO bonds. MT. Benton in reply said the meeting was called together hurriedly and perhaps 1t was his fault as much as any one else's that the clerk was not summoned but no slight was intended. It is not a question of slight, said MT. Downes, but of right.
 MT. Benton, continuing, said: We are an executive board with the right to transact business in our own way, and if we have Q meeting we certainly have tho right to have 1t recorded. He had been advised by the corporation counsel that he was right in this. Commissioner Smith then moved that Clerk Benton, pro tenn. of that meeting, enter the minutes on the record, which was passed, Msssrs. Smith, Benton, Baldwin and Clancy voting In the affirmative and MT. Dillon in the negative.
 Clerk Downes again refused to have them recorded and there the matter rests. The matter may lead to some litigation to obtain the books or the purchase, as MT. Benton suggested of set of books of their own. For the present, Lieutenants Wrinn and | Keefe will not receive . promotion to the rank of captain, though now they practically perform . captains duties. It was the opin- ion of number of the board that it would be better to wait till an appropriation had been given for two new precincts before granting the promotion. Under the new charter the positsons of lieutenants and roundsmen will be abolished, the former to be captains, and the latter sergeants. The department at present is greatly hampered in finances, with only $33. .53 to increase sal aries and add to the force.
 Chief Bollman announced that the work formerly done by Sergeant Bishop Is now done by Sergeant Driscoll and Roundsman Mcbride, who by change of hours nearly cover the entire amount.
 The application of Richard l.. Hayden, 2 painter, for place on the force, was received and placed on fle The board saw fit to try the experiment. of . mounted policeman in the precinct, which they left at the discretion of the president and supeyintondsnt.

THE INCREASE OF PAY

GOeS JAto EHect NeX6 MOndoy.
 From prominent official of the Bricklsy- ers' and Plasterers' union last night the facts of the case regarding their coming increase of pay were given, and are as follows: The masons had been getting forty cents an hour, with nine hours' work, for the last four years. They simply askedfor forty-6ve cents an hour, with nine hours work. This has been conceded to them by the employers their willingness to give the advance. The new price goes into effect next Monday. The union did not ask for eight hours. The concession was the result of conference be- tween committees representing both employ CTS and employed. Our union requested such conference, which was granted. We then asked for the five cents an hour in- crease, and after consideration of the case the increase was conceded.

STAGES GREAT CAME.


 The College Team Defeats the Metr0- politans at the Field Yesterday After noon by Close Score.
 One of the closest games of the season was played at the Yale field yesterday afternoon, in which the Yale nine succeeded in defeat ing the Metropolitans by the score of to 0. Probably none were moro surprised at the final result than the collegians themselves, because they had team of professionals against them composed for the most part of veteran players. But they went in with de. termination and played for all they were worth. Stagg put up another of his great games, allowing but two singles to be made off him during the game, and repeatedly with the bases full retired the side in one- two-three order when @ hit meant two or more runs and the game. The game should have been at the end of the ninth inning without run on either side, as the two runs scored by Yale were the results of glaring errors. The play and team work of Yale was an improvement over the exhibi- tion at the Jasper game, but still at critical moments they are liable to become careless. There were about $50 present. The score is as follows:

WINNING THE SECOND CAME.

Now Haven Ball Players Make Fine
 Showing at Newnrk-A Cold Day and
 Small lAttendance-PcktIcs PhenO me .
 nal Catch-At Wilmington To-Day.
 NEWARK, April 29.-A brisk cold wind blew over the ball field all day and made ball playing very unpleasant and somewhat difficult task. Nevertheless the second game at Newark was fine one and was won by the superior playing of the visitors. The attendance was very small, there being but 160 spectators. F Good work by Doran in the box for New Haven and fine fielding by the whole team won the game. Hofford played an even and strong game behind the bat.
 For Newark, Dooms was quite wild in the box for tho first inning and then Obsrlandsr was substituted for him.
 The feature of the game was the sharp team work of the visitors in the seventh in ming and Pettit's phenomenal catch. New ark had man on second and third base. Duffy hit hot liner over second. Petit leaped into the afr and captured it by phe- nomenal one hand catch. "Snap" Lang played brilliant game and went after everything that came near him. His face was quite badly out by collision with Me- Kse in the eighth inning.
 Dooms practically lost the game for New- ark in the first inning. He sent four men to first on balls and forced two of them home.
 The team leaves for Wilmington at o'clock tomorrow morning.
 Manager Burnham sent Brady home this evening.

A Striking DiGsrence.

"Speaking of advertised letters," said a New Haven gentleman just returned from Salt Lake Clty, "just look ct this list in the Lalt Lake Tribune and then compare 1t with New Ravens list. Why, here in this Salt Lake paper is one column in fine type. I took the trouble to count them up, and the result is find that there are 51z advertised letters. of which 116 are addressed to ladies and 3o8 to men. The population of Salt Lake City Is 30,000; New Haven's is SO,- 900. Just think of the difference. Look at New Haven's list for the week ending April 2-just six. Comment is unnecessary."
