[FRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENCE
HARRISBURG, Feb. 5.-R +. Wood and
Charles Richardson, of Philadelphia, made an
argument this afternoon before the House
Judiciary Committee in favor of the Wherry
civil service bill. This proposes a civil service
in all municipal, county and State offices of a
subordinate character in Pennsylvania. The
debate brought out one curious feature and
that was that Pittsburger, who could answer
the requirements, would be eligible to Office in
Philadelphia, and vice versa SO that Pittsburg
might be overwhelmed with Philadelphia heal
ers if the bill passed in that shape.
This committee referred to the Philadelphia
delegation the Fow halfhoiday bill. for the
purpose of finding whether il is the inteu-
tion to have it apply only to cities of the first
class or to include PIttsburg and other cities.
The Fow antitrust bill will be reported favor
ably tomorrow

Stand Together.

The republicans of northern Iowa have a
special responsibility in this years political con
test. Their minds should be impressed with
this responsibility at the very threshold OF the
campaign. Upon them the result depends.
Whether the state goes republican or demo-
cratic this fall will depend largely upon whether
northwestern Iowa returns the usual republican
majority. 1t is the most purely rural section OF
Iowa. The democratic strength is In the large
cities. They are expected not merely to roll up
the usual large maJorities, but also to increase
them as to overwhelm the republican major
tiles of the rural districts and especially Of
northwestern Iowa.
According to their policy the democrats have
this year nominated ticket which represents
the eastern extremity of Iowa. There is not
western or central Iowa candidate on the demo-
cratic ticket. The republicans, on the contrary,
have given the most of honor to a northwestern
Iowa candidate.
The Journal wishes TO address an earnest
word of counsel to northwestern Iowa republ-
cans as to their course in the legislative districts
Therein the democratic managers will make
their most strenuous effort. They will leave no
reoource known to trickey and INSCRIPTIONS pol
tiles to carry the legislature, and 1t is obvious
that they must fail unless they can make large
gains in the districts OF northwestern Iowa.
These districts are republican. II republicans
are true to their duty the democrats can make
no gains, but will actually suffer losses in the
northwestern Iowa districts. The only possible
chance for the republicans to avoid them max
ing gains is through faction and personal feuds
All that Is needed to assure q notable victory is
the party strengthen other words party har-
mony.
The fact that in this portion of the state, on
account of the sparser population, two or more
counties have to be included in one legislative
district in many eases has been productive of
discord, conflict Of local interests, and thus of
faction. The result was inevitable 1t is true
that as the cause has been removed, as the dis
tricts have been reduced in size, in recent reap
portionnents, faction has been disappearing,
but there is still occasion for republicans at this
juncture, to be on their gnard.
Let the watchword OF northwestern Iowa re-
publicans this year be-Unity. Let personal in
terest and all local prejudices, so far as they re,
main, be utterly put aside. Let conciliatory
spirit rule in the caucuses, the conventions and
all the prelimnaries.
There Will be no northwestern Iowa republi
cans In the corn fields this year. They will be al
the polls. 1t is not less important that the,
shall stand together in the legislative districts
There Is where the brunt Of the battle will really
fall. 1t is vitality important that every man wht
feels in his heart that hs is republican, ant
not democrat, should realize this fact and GOV
ern himself accordingly

For Free Whisky.

Des MOines LeQder, leading demo-
cratic paper of Iowa, May 18th, 1891 ::
" High license limits the number of sa-
looms, fosters monopoly in the hands of
few men, encourages adulteration,
and in no respect lessons intemperance.
Low license simply increases the num-
Der of saloons and changes their char
acter from places of gilded splendor cal
culated to entice the curious and un-
wary, to neighborhood resorts. In the
absence of prohibition free traffic sup
plemented by strict laws for the punish
ment of adulteration, fraud and drunk
enness would render the Objectionable
saloon of today thing of the past. 1t
may be that public sentiment in Iowa
today, hOodoOed as it has been for years
past by bowling world savers who aim
to furnish bliss on the half shell by leg
islative enactment, will demand
liquor license law, and that it may APP
pear wise to defer to that sentiment.
AS relief from the present practical
operation of prohibition we may toler.
ate license law, but cannot reconcile
it with the basis principles of democ-
racy."

Ex-senator INGALLS, has been
quoted as saying some very ungracious
things about the republican party since
his defeat. Democratic papers recently
published a letter Of similar purport,
credited to him, and when friend for
warded it to him to affirm its authentic
ity, he said the letter is not mine" and
further:
am, as have been from the birth
of the party, republican. 1t is not a
perfect political organization, but it
is the best there is, or has been, or will
be till the sheep and the goats are sep
arated at the last day. 1t has had some
bad men, but it is recorded that of the
twelve one denied his master and Judas
betrayed Him. 1t has committed er
rOrs and made mistakes, but nothing
human is exempt from intirmity. No
party in this or any other country in
the present or previous age has exerted
influence so enormous and beneiicent
upon the essential nature of govern
ment and the destiny of mankind. 1t
is the custodian of the political and
social ideas for which the eXiles of
jamestown and Plymouth sought a
new world, wrote the declaration of in
dependence and built a nation upon
the foundation stones of liberty justice
and equity, the sovereignty of the peO-
pie, and the brotherhood of man. 1t
represents now, as heretofore, the con-
science, the courage and the convictions
of American citizenship. 1t represents
social order, progress, individual
growth and national glory as opposed
to the frenZied vertigOs of anarchy and
| the emaSculated reveries of paternal-
ism, under whatever pretext they may
be supported, whatever DISCUSSES they
may assume, whatever masks they may
wear. Every age has its duties. The
old issues have disappeared. New
questions are presented, arising from
the unequal distribution of the bur
dens, the benefits and the privileges of
society. That these will be considered
and adjusted by the republican party
as it has hitherto dealt with slavery,
polygamy and secession, reconstruction,
the currency and the tariff, am con-
ident. To doubt this would be to deny
the logic of history and to disparage
the intelligence and patriotism of the
peOple
