DAMAGED WHEAT.

Perhaps some of our readers may
think that tempests have been flood

damaging the cereal there. Not so.
The damaged wheat we allude to is
J. L. Wheat, late postmaster of the
House Of Representatives ut Wash

had two or three men on his pay rolls
who nowhere had an existence, but
members of Wheat's family took and
receipted for the money, using the
fictitious names. Then he was levy.
ing tribute on the mail carriers, was
a partner in various schemes for re.
lieving the treasury of its surplus and
transferring it to the plethoric peck.

democrat dropped onto his method
and exposed it. Mr.. Wheat felt awful
bad-wanted to resign right off-but
the thing was too glaring in iniquity
SO the Office was declared vacant ant
the damaged kernel was kicked ou'
to rot among the other damaged
goods that have been spawned upor

THE SILVER DOLLAR.

The republican party at the recent
session OF congress passed a silver
bill providing for the purchase and
coinage OF a given sum in ounces un-
til July l, 1891, at which time its COIN
age is only continued at the discre-
ton Of the Secretary Of the treasury.
The party in Iowa at it's cOnven-
ton held in Sioux City resolved in "a
vor OF the free coinage Of silver upon
the same terms as gold is coined, and
making it also q full legal tender.
The Senate OF the United States had
passed a bill in favor Of free coinage
of silver as an amendment to the
House bill. The vote in the House
was taken on the very day the State
convention adopted its free coinage
resolution. Mr.. Bland, Of Missouri,
moving to concur in the Senate bill,
which was as follows:
THAT from and after the date Of
the passage OF this act the unit OF
value in the United States shall be
the dollar, aud the same may be coin.
ed of 412I grains OF standard silver,
or of 25.S grains OF standard gold; and
the said coins shall be legal tender
for all debts. public and private.
That hereafter any owner of silver or
gold bullion may deposit the same at
any mint OF the United States to be
formed into standard dollars or bars
for his benefit and without charge:
but il shall be lawful to refuse any
deposit OF less value than 800, or any
bullion SO base as to be unsuitable
for the operations Of the mint.
The yeas and nays were called, 1876
voting for free coinage and t52 voting
against it. From Iowa we find but
one vote in the affirmative, Walter 1.
Hayes. In the negative we find the
following from Iowa: Conger, DOLL
yer, Flick, Gear, Henderson, Kerr,
Lacey, Reed, Struble, SWEENEY. See
Congressional Record, page 7O3S.
II the demand Of the party in State
convention in favor of free coinage Of
silver was right, the denomination Of
congressman who voted against the
measure was wrong. II the demands
of the State convention is republican
doctrine, then no republican is bound
to support for congress the men who
voted to limit the coinage Of silver to
July, 1891.

THE LODGE ELECTION BILL.

This bill, we observe from the news
paper notices of Mr.. Sweney's
speeches, has his endorsement as it
had .his vote In its favor in the House.
| Some OF it's features are SO danger
GUS and revolutionary that we are
surprised that he should be whipped
! into its support or that he should
lend himself to apologize for such a
law.
The application Of one hundred
men in any congressional district can
procure the appointment of supervis-
ors OF election who would hold office
for life, and whose return of the re.
suit in that district would be received
as true against the protest OF every
voter therein.
Again, any person who desires il
and is unable to read and fix his bal
lot may call in the assistance Of these
federal election officers to prepare it
for him. The law provides for two,
one representing each party, who are
charged with this duty. A voter un.
der this law asks assistance to pre-.
pare his ballot, desiring to vote for
one particular set of candidates. The
person performing this duty gives
him ballot containing the names OF
the candidates he desired to vote
against. His associate is powerless
in the premises, because the law spec
tally provides fine Of $500 and q
term Of years in the penitentiary for
any one Of these men who disclose
the kind OF ballot any person had
cast. Thus ample means are taken
| to protect fraud and to punish the
person who would expose it.
Again, person suspecting that
fraud is being perpetrated by the
men designated to fix ballots for those
unable to read or write applies to
have them prepare one for his use
and learns that his suspicion was
well founded and that the ballot pre-
pared is exactly the opposite Of what
he asked. Now if he exposes the men
who by collision or fraud have cheat
ed him i'm the form OF his ballot, he is
liable to fine and imprisonment with
the penalties before mentioned. As
II to protect this very system offraud
upon the voters, the law provides for
fine and imprisonment Of any person
who pretends to be unable to read or
write and asks the aid Of the govern
ment officials in preparing his ballot.

Party in Iowa.

1t is strange what changes occur in
politics in q very few years. Ten
years ago Horace Boies was as ardent
q Republican as there was in the
state, and he held to precisely the
same views that he does to-day. Ii
he had been elected governor on the
Republican ticket then. and had de.

cause at that time the Republican
party was neither a prohibition nor q
protection party. Up to about that
time no state platform ever Endorsed
either. Year after year, while we
were attending state conventions
regularly, no word was said about
prohibition or temperance, and the
stereotyped tariff plank was q tariff
for revenue, SO adjusted as to protect
home manufactures to that extent
which was by no means q protective
tariff, but simply revenue tariff. In
those days the party majority wa,

Defiance Of the people.
From St. Paul Daily News, tIscpublical

From 81. faul Daily News, tRepubiican1
Not since the memory Of the men
who are now actively engaged In
political controversy has there been
SO direct and square AN issue made
on the tariff as that afforded by the
Mckinley bill.
The monopolists finding they had
both Houses Of Congress and the
President, all in accord, seized the
opportunity, and Mt all hazards, re-
CARELESS Of expense and political
consequences, determined to make
the most of their opportunity. Sc
curing in various ways the support
OF the party leaders, the rank and
file were then whipped into line to
sustain this scheme of public robbery
as a party necessity.
1t matters little to the nonopolists
now whether the Republican party
remains in power or not.
1t is only once in twenty-five or
thirty years that it is possible to
make such revision of the tariff as
that just accomplished, and with the
Senate Republican for several years
ahead, the tariff robbers can prevent
the House from revoking their
scheme Of plumber.
1t does not follow, however, that
on this account the men who have
sustained this iniquity should be in
dorsed by the people, whom they
have aided in robbing.
Every man, woman and child al
ready feels the effect Of increased
taxation by the advance Of prices
upon articles which comprise the
necessaries of life, and rs the weeks
lenghthen into months and the
months into years, they will feel 1t
still more heavily.
As consequence the voters are
hardly in a frame Of mind to say to
the Congressman who voted for this
iniquity, I'VE will indorse you by q
reelection even though at this elec-
ton it will only be possible to capture
one branch Of Congress.
The monopolists have made the is
sue direct and square.
1t is the boldest advance Of taxa
ton ever flung into the faces Of the
people.
No political party has had such
telnerity in the history Of this coun-
try rs the one which passed the Nc
Kinley bill, and every Congressman
who is before the people for re-elec-
ton in November, deserves the re-
buke of defeat, no matter what his
other services may have been, or
what his personal attractions may be.

OUR COUNTY TICKET.

1t may not be necessary and yet it
can do no harm to call the attention
OF the voters once more to the char.
acter, fitness, capacity and ability of
the men presented as candidates for
the offices Of the county. with few
of the reasons why we appeal for
support for them at the ballot-box.
First, we are opposed, and we be-
lieve a majority Of the people of the
county irrespective Of party are, to
bossisln in politics. No individual
and no separate interest is entitled to
name the candidates or shape the
policy of party. With our candi-
dates the wish of the people has been
respected.
For Clerk of the Court, in John l..
Bowman there is an opportunity to
secure an officer thoroughly fitted for
the position, civil and courteous in
his intercourse with his fellow men,
intelligent, experienced in business,
ripe in judgment. discreet and honest.
For Recorder, in John Mulholland
the people have no stranger to bust
ness and business methods. For
years he has had responsible posi-
ton in the employ of Mr.. Hunting,
discharging its duties with fidelity to
his employer and justly to the public
by which he is held in high esteem.
1t will make no mistake in his elec-
ton. 1t is Of the utmost Importance
that a competent man, and one who
can do business pleasantly with the
public be chosen for office.
For Supervisor We present the peo-
pie with a man who has lived in the
county from childhood, one reared in
our:midst, conversant with the needs
of our people, careful prudent, judic.
ious and trustworthy. The people
will make no mistake II they elect
John A. Cray County Supervisor.
The office of County Attorney il
one of the most important and re.
sponsible in the county. Its salary Il
paid by the tax payers. They owe il
to themselves to secure the best legal
talent attainable. The Office should
not be sold as a reward for partizan
service because it has no partizan
duty to perform. That offleer is the
legal adviser of the county officers

nal matters before the courts, is TO up.
pear in all state cases in behalf Of the
people. 1t requires age, experience
and ability to cope with the Legal
talent that will confront him In the
pursuit of crime and of criminals
These facts are equivalent to saying
to the voters Of the county that they
should see to it that Frank Sayre II
