Tariff Revision and Reform.

However desirable it may be there
is no hope for a general tariff bill re-
ducing the tax on imports at the
present session Of congress, nor is it
desirable that an attempt be made to
pass such measure. The people
know what taking the tax off Of su-
gar has done. Now let the democrats
of the House pass q law putting barb
wire on the free list; another putting
binding twine on the free list; yet
another putting salt on the free list,
and SO until all the most atrocious
and uncalled for tax burdens only
useful to combinations and trusts are
wiped out. Send each separate
measure to the senate at an early day
of the session and depend upon it,
republican senators from western
states who fail to put themselves on
record in favor Of these several
measures will be ranked with corpor-
ate monopolists of the east and re-
tired from further service in Office
and betrayal of western interests.

The Globe thinks that it is possible
to overestimate the effect Of nation
al convention as a means Of party
salvation. 1t takes more than the
enthusiasm and the inlpressiveness OF
such an event to win and hold the de-
votion of intelligent voters. Power
and glory do have an effect on the
popular mind, and men like to be
counted on the strong and dominant
side of a fight. But the farmers of
Minnesota and Iowa already recog-
nize the ability of the Republican
leaders and the strength of the Re-
publican organization. They have
not lost their sympathy with radical
ism because it has grown weak and
puny. The agrarian revolt which
has put Boies in the governors chair
and reduced Merriam's majority to
two thousand is based on principles
and not on hurrahs. If New York,
If Michigan. ii Minnesota, if Iowa, il

A recent number of the Christian

A recent number of the Christian
Union prints a copy of letter sent
to Rev. Lyman Abbott, inclosing a
statement of belief received from a
friend and termed AN agnostic
creed 1t reads as follows
l believe in the universe.
/ believe that it is wisely planned,
rightly ordered, and purposeful in
progress
l believe in humanity, its noblest
product.
believe that conduct, not dogma,
is the essential of life.
l believe that there is an eternal
law of Righteousness, not made by
ourselves, which determines conduct.
believe that a faithful love OF the
best self, and our fellows, is the Gen.
ter of that law.
believe that man is spirit, but
with paramount physical basis.
| believe that there is source OF
these beliefs. / call that source, God,
and worship him.

A REMARKABLE VOTE.

AT no State election held this year
has there been more thorough test
of party strength than in Iowa. The
vote polled was the largest ever cast
in the State and comes within few
thousands of the vote which might
have been expected had this been a
Presidential year.
Iowa's total vote on Presidential
electors in 1884 was 375,93a. In 1888
it was 4O4, 40. That is to say the an
nual increme mt of the vote Of the
State between 1884 and 1883 was lit
tie over 1000. To bring the vote of
this year up to the Presidential stand
ard would have required total Of
4o5, 900 in round numbers. The actual
total was Al, 439. Crediting all the
missing vote to the Republicans
would still leave Gov. Boies with a
plurality over his opponent.
Gov. Boies' percentage Of the whole
vote is this year 1910, against 1894 in
1850. But the percentage obtained
by the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor has also decreased from 4s.Ol in
1889 to 47.53 in 1891. The Alliance
candidates vote of II, 5a7 would thus
seem to have been drawn somewhat
more largely from the Republicans
than Democrats. This has more than
wiped out the gain made by the re-
publicans from the virtual disappear
ance of the Prohibition vote, which
this year is only 962.
The vote of Iowa next year can
hardly exceed $4,000. If the side
tickets take off their usual average OF
$4,000 the party that polls $1,000 will
have the electoral vote of the State
Gov. Boies has come within $500 OF
that this year. The Republicans are

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-The soldiers at Fort
Sheridan are talking about the conduct Of
Captain Hedberg, of the Fifteenth infan-
try, who, with a young boy, was with Pri-
vate Mayor when the latter was drowned
in furious sea off the post nearly week
ago. While out on the lake their boat cap
sized, and Mayor, who went crazy through
fear and excitement, released his grasp
upon the overturned boat and went TO the
bottom. Captain Hedberg and the boy
were IN great peril, when a boatload of SOL
diers from the post put out to rescue them.
experienced great difficulty in drawing up
alongside the luckless boat. When they
came within hailing distance Captain He'd
berg, it is claimhd, called out to the rescu-
ers TO swing their boat SO that his son could
climb into il. One of the soldiers fatty
refused to do anything of the kind, for he
reasoned that his own boat would be cap
sized by so much weight clinging to its
side But he offered to hurl the captain
and the boy line and tow them 10 shore.
AS he did so the soldier may have used
some strong language, but 1t IS claimed by
the soldiers about the post that the fellow
was III no Wa
the excitement under which all the men
were laboring at the time. After Captain
Hedberg anG the boy were brought safely
to shore by the gallant soldiers the former
preferred charges, il Is claimed, against the
private who had refused to pull his boat
alongside of the overturned craft. 1t is
said that the private was placed in the
guardhouse, and that he will have to stand
trial for INSTRUMENTATION.
The rescue of Cantain Hedhpry and the
young boy was purely voluntary. The
soldiers saw the peril of the two and
brayely faced the heavy breakers in a boat
which was scarcely able to withstand the
pounding it received. All about the post
there is talk of the ingratitude of Captain
Hedberg, who seems to have reckoned his
pride far above his life. Army officers do
not care to discuss the tragedy. They do
not think it proper to attack brother off,
Ger, and the privates seem to fear some
sort of punishment if they tell all they
know about the affair.
