I'm Favor of Consolidation.

We believe that by consolidation
of districts fewer schools would be
supported and better advantages
could be ensured We believe that
the same amount of money now
used in maintaining small schools IN
sparsely settled communities if ex-
pended in conducting consolidated
schools on this plan would result in
manifest benefit to the children of
our farmers, content parents and
counteract the present exodus from
agriculture caused by desire to
secure better school advantages

out as holdings, under the Home
stead Act, and the Judge assures Us
that "under the vigorous admins
tration of the last biennial period
this Act has been doing a work of
incaIculable value. and seems to
have been doing it WELL"
We wish, however, to invite the
attention of our readers, with
view to legislative action in
the coming session, to the ad-
vantages which may be gained
to the public and to the nation at
large, by the nation itself becoming
the proprietor of the Crown lands.
The transferance of the right to
certain lands held as the property
of the Crown, from the sovereign
to the people, that is, to the admin
istration of the representatives of
the people, has been accomplished
before now, without revolution or
confscation on either side. In the
course of the reign of George Ill.
in England, almost the whole do
main of the Crown was placed in
the hands of Parliament, the latter,
in return, undertaking to provide
the Crown, out of the revenues
of the lands surrendered, a
suitable revenue for the Royal
family and the expenses of
public functions still expected of
them. This arrangement is still in
existence, and from the improve
rnent in value of various properties
the country is in enjoyment of a
very considerable revenue over and
above that allotted to the Royal
family.
There need be no insuperable diff
ficulty in the way of making a SIM
liar arrangement here; the lands
thus acquired to be devoted, wher-
ever suitable, to the establishment
of class of small freeholders, for
hidden to ALLEVIATE or to mortgage
their holdings but to the Govern
ment, and bound to certain terms
of residence, improvements, ETC..
similar to those in use in New Zea-
land, as quoted by Judge Dole.
There is much more to be said
on this topic, and we hope soon to
return to it, as we consider it
among the most vital measures
calling for legislative action.

A DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The Iowa Democratic State Conven-
ton met at Ottumwa, Iowa, June Oath,
and nominated Governor Horace P
Boies. The platform demanded the re-
peal Of the prohibitory law and the pas
sage of carefully guarded license tax
law; called for such changes in the laws
as should be necessary to secure full and
equal taxation of every species of prop
erty Endorsed the Australian ballot and
denounced the Republican Party for
having defeated that reform, in defiance
of the popular vote in its favor; called
for statutes to provide stringent safe
guards in the organization of all corpora
tons, and re-affirmed adherence to the
doctrines of the control and regulation of
railroads as now enacted into law; de-
nounced all trusts, pools and combines,
and expressed the conviction that in the
division of the product of labor and capt.
tai, labor did not get its full snare; ex-
pressed the devotion of the Democratic
Party to the interests of the laboring and
producing masses, and favored laws es-
tablishing free public employment
agencies and adequate compensation,
and condemned the practice of i'm
porting contract labor ; favored the
election of United States Senators by
direct vote of the people, and
expressed detestation of the widespread
corruption that had defeated the will of
the people in the Senate as now consti-
tuted; reiterated the demand for free
coinage of silver, and declared in favor
of just pension laws; denounced the
Mckinley bill, its theory and the mo-
tives of its authors, declaring that it in
c'eases the cost of the necessaries OF
life, promotes dishonesty in manufac-
lures, corrupts politics and despoils the
many for the sake of the few; demanded
equal opportunities for every section
the country and urged the removal II
the restraints upon the merchant ma
rine by the elimination of every oppres-
sive feature OF the tariff; denounced the
wasteiul expenditure OF the last billion
dollar Congress, and the alien owner
ship of land; rendered hearty sympathy
to Ireland in her effort to gain home
rule, that safeguard of freedom which
the Infamous Force bill attempted to
take away from the American people in
congressional elections; expressed hor-
ror at Russia's treatment of the Jews
affirmed hearty sympathy with the
Worlds Fair, and urged a liberal appro-
priation for it on the part of the State of
Iowa.-[N. Y. Independent.

SATURDAY, AUGUST Is, 1891

ONE of the most interesting facts
shown by the recent returns of the
British census, is the steady in
crease in the population of Scot
land, which now numbers over
four millions. At the same time
the population of Ireland shows a
steady decrease, and is now much
less than it was ninety years ago.
The migration is however chiefly
from the south of Ireland, for the
northern cities not only hold their
own, but show steady increase.
