and n portion of the electoral vote OF
the state be given to a democratic can
didate for the presidency.
Now, we confess much surprise. The
most sanguine Of democrats have not
dared to hope that sc good things might
come out of the Hawkeye state. But
MIR. Stone is a citizen of the state, has
presumably lived there some years, and
ought to be familiar with the political
outlook. That he sees on the horizon a
democratic cloud, much larger indeed
than a mans hand, is quite evident from
his portentious speech and the despair
of his soul expressed in it. The &. o. p.
of Iowa is in full retreat before the
rising storm Of vengeance OF a people
long suffering, but who at last r
awakening to the fact that they have
been beguiled into voting the republi-
can ticket by the iteration of promises
never fulfilled, the while their taxes
getting higher, the necessaries OF life
costing more, and the market for their
farm products growing more contracted.
Mr.. Stones speech was very cheering
the democrats.

State school Lands.

The state land commissioners have issued
the following circulars to county superin-
tendents of schools: 'Inasmuch as inquiries
nave time to time reached this depa tment
from several county officers, we now take
occasion to suggest that the dutv of the
county superintendent Of schools in each
county of the state. in making their report
to this department should show: The con-
dition of the school lands located in their
several counties; the number of acres
thereof; the number of acres occupied by
settlers; by whom occupied, giving the
name Of each settler and the legal subdivi-
sion occupied by such settler. The first
subdivision would seem to require, and we
are of the opinion that it does require that
the county superintendent to ascertain and
show to this board whether the lands are:
grazing lands, timber lands, agricultural
lands. or lands lying within the limits of
any town or city, or within three miles of
such limits, and the estimated number of
acres of each class thereof.
The information required under the last
mentioned subdivision will not in the
opinion of the board require a personal ex-
animation of the lands, but may be OBJ
tanned from reliable sources, but the other
information will require a personal inspec-
ton or an interview with the settler.

Mr.. WANAMAKER, Comptroller Lacey
and Bank Examiner Drew, have each
proved the other two corrupt and un-
worthy public officials by the contra
dictions in their testimony in the Key
stone bank crookedness. 1t has
not been definitely proved that the
president had knowledge of the CONN.,
vance Of his appointees in that scandal
GUS affair. But he knows it now and
still retains two of them in high offices
Of trust and responsibility. The report
that he is much worried over the dis
closures is easily credited. But Honest
John raised a corruption fund of $780,
600 and bought Harrison's election, and
cannot be kicked out Of office in dis
grace. He has no string attached tc
the president-a stout tether around
his neck.

OMAHA was endorsed by the Iowa re-
publicans as the proper place for the
meeting of the next republican national
convention. 1t would be, indeed. The
will of the people Of Nebraska has been
overthrown by the republican supreme
court of that state and the democrat
chosen by the people to fill the Office of
governor defrauded of his rights. The
presence of so many others Of their ilk
in the state would lend immoral courage
to the partizan judges and in return the
defiled ermine would make the party
freebooters feel at ease.

Mr.. STONE is the gentleman who exer-

rary chairman of the Iowa state republi
can convention. Mr.. Stone is a vivid
prophet of republican calamity in the
Hawkeye state, and it is much to re
hoped that his worst fears may be fully
realized. With much feeling he con
coded that the political power of Iowa
was at stake. He said the democratic
party was "in battle and in ambush"
the inference naturally being that the
republican party Of the state was much
in danger of being overthrow, routed
horse, foot and dragon. Even worse
yet. If the democrats carry the state

the next congressional delegation will
be democratic, the next legislature elect
