Our Presidential Candidate.

Every intelligent Democrat in
this country, interested as he should
be in our party, has his personal
choice for president. 1t is right
that we should have. There are
good and sufficient reasons why each
of US might prefer one of the sever
al worthy men named as possibili=
ties in the convention. Amy one
of the candidates likely to be pre-
sented is good enough for good
Democrat. The convention will be
composed of the virtue and the
wisdom of the party. 1t will not
be pack of greedy, gorgipg office
holders, nor hungry office seekers,
but of men, statesmen looking to
the good of the country, nnder the
policy Of a democratic administra-
ton. Barbarous negroes of the
south Will not perpetrate the out
rage of imposing candidate upon
states who hold the disputed ground
as was done at Minneapolis. The
strong, solid Democratic south nor
the helpless minority northern
states, will not dictate the nominee.
Texas with her certain one hundred
thousand Democratic majority will
be in the electoral college with her
state vote, no matter who may be
our candidate. Pennsylvania, with
twice the Democratic vote of Texas
will not have a single vote in the
college of electors for the president.
1t is III New York and Indiana
where the battle for the Democracy
must be fought and won. With
these two states, the victory is ours,
without them we are lost. The
convention will do wisely in submit
ting to these determining states the
selecting of the candidate. The
nominee, be whom he may, will not
affect the vote one way or another
in Hooking County five votes. Yet
FIVE votes in s'blocks of five" lost
us Indiana and the presidency. We
await in confidence the choice next
week of the Chicago convention,
assured that no mistake, in leader
ship will be made and assured that
our platform will be broad enough
and strong enough for the old and
ever living Democratic party of the
SENTINEL and Its predecessors, and
for all true Democrats that may
rise In the coming years.

Harrison's "Clean" Administration

The talk about Harrison's Admlninis-
tration being clean" doubtless ema.
mates from the professional humolIsts. :.
1t is proposterous, says the India napolis
Sentinel, to. associate the adjective
clean" Jabine, position to JOHN Wana-
maker; which put Porter at the head of
the Census Bureau and allowed him to
ill til, official records OF the Republic
with lies and forgerics; which called
Steve Elkins. prince Of land grabbers
and whisky ringsters, to its council table;
which pu. a coarse rascal like Raum at
the head of the Pension Bureau aud per-
mitted HIM to prostitute it to the vilest
personal and partisan ends, ana which
rewarded William A. Woods with a pro-
motion on the Federal Bench for using
his judicial power to protect the SEQ und-
rels to whose crimes this very Admins
ration owes its existence. Clean? The
Harrison administration has had pore
scandals than any other in our history,
save Grants. These scandals will be
thoroughly ventilated between now and
November.

The Republican Candidate for Vice
President.

1t is moi often That the head OF
a National ticket is put al The tail,
but il is so with the Republican
candidates.
Whilelaw Reid, the candidate
for vice president, is an American
worthy of lhe highest honors OF
his party. lie has won an honor
able position by honest, intell;-
gent, hard work, and every step
in his upward march OF advance
ment has been unaided by luck,
ancestry or relations. He made his
own mark, and is truly the archi-
tect of his own lame and fortune.
He is an Ohio man. He was
born and raised OH a farm in
Green county. and We can imag-
Inc, picked and burned brush, like
our own Tom Allen. He canvassed
for books; he Taught school; he
edited his country paper; he, as
Agate" became the most noted
correspondent of the West; he
nominated Horace Greeley as our
candidate against Grant. IN Gin
cinnati; he succeeded Greeley as ed
ilor of The Tribune, and recently
has done high honor 10 our country
as minister 10 France.
Whilelaw Reid is man good
enough and great enough to be the
candidate for president oil his party,
and whatever of character may be
granted to the Republican ticket
this campaign will be due to
WhiteIaw Reid, the Ohio farmer
boy, he friend and advocate of
our candidate for president, the
immortal Horace Greelev.

OUR esteemed contemporary the
Athens Journal, not only dares
Grosvenor aud the Republican ring
sters of Athens, but it defies and
disregards the ala anac and has a
calender of its own. The issue of

departure in dates. On the first
page we find the date of the publ
cation, Thursday June 9TH, on the
second, third and fourth we have
Thursday June 7th.; but when we
come to the editorial columns, Ent-

The AnnaDnias Davenport Is de-
veloping the problem of dimension
with great ability. He applies the
increase measuring string for his
stomache trouble to the measuring
of a strawberry he begged from a
farmer. He prints in cold type the
statement that the berry measured
six inches in circumference. That,
according the rules of proportion
would make the berry eighteen
inches from caleX around to apex;
three inches wide and none inches
long. Eward, that is a very large,

means, of course, fire crackers and
Chinese lanterns. For ways that

played in vain, the Chinese and

his mail brought to his home, no
matter whether he lives in the country
or in the city. 1t is gratifying to
know that the free delivery system is
being extended to the small towns, al
though the Postmaster General writes
s'enlarged free delivery, or anything
like universal free delivery will have
to be postponed until there are better
facilities of communication through
the rural and sparsely settled dis
trlcts." Just SO. But must the State
and the county and the township be
required to make these "better facili-
ties by the expenditure Of vast sums
| Of money, and then invite the Govern
ment to put mail carriers on them !?
That can not be the meaning of the
Constitution. To establish postroads
must mean something else than merely
using the roads for postal service after
some one else has built them. Iowa,
however, will not ask the Government
TO build these roads alone, but it
should ask it to help do this great
work.
Let the State be asked to take a
part in this grand improvement. The
sum of S, 100000 for great, pros
porous, wealthy and growing State
like Iowa will hardly be felt by the
taxpayer. In fact, taxes need not be
increased one single mill. A three
per cent. bond can be voted by the
people and negotiated at par. Does any
person start at this suggestion? If SO
he don't live where he has to travel
a very long distance with team over
the average Iowa road during either
of what should be the most busy
months of the year. II he is shocked
by this proposition he is not ripe for
better roads.
If to issue bonds to the amount
suggested for an object of the greatest
possible value to the State at large,
and an object which could not other
wise be attained, will not in the time
the bonds are to run and the interest
and principal are to be paid increase
taxation, but, on the contrary, reduce
1t it not business like, wise and eco
nOmlCal to create the debt? This is the
plainest kind of business proposition,
and must be settled on business prinCi-
pies.
Authorize the cities to vote aid to
The roads, and allow the councils to
appropriate the money for use in any
part OF the country, instead Of now
limiting the expenditure to within
three miles OF the city limits. The
larger cities, as general thing APP
preached from the country by billy
roads, and these, and as often will be
the case, other roads, for one, two or
more miles, twenty or more miles from
the city whose market is sought to be
reached, will cost more to construct
than the local tax will pay for. The
roads requiring such aid are just as
essential as any in the county, and if
built they present barrier in the way
Of the advantageous use of long
stretch Of road reached
Public opinion is rapidly crystal
lizing in favor of government aid in
building country roads. 1t would be
inconsistent to ask such aid in behalf

relegated to the rear for the time. Ii
would seem that Whittier, if he wanted
to die lamented and honored, had no
business to say goodby to the world
at time when it was too much en-
gagged in the issue of John L. Sully's
muscles to have any thought for the
beautiful children of poets brain.
The sober second thought of men
will revolt against the madness of the
interest that has followed the carnival
of fists at New Orleans. Men who
INDUCED it will feel ashamed of them
selves in greater or less degree, and
men who resolutely refused to feel an
interest in the affair will inveigh loudly
in pulpit and press against the de-
moralization of humanity and the
brutal tastes that are growing in the
world.
The truth is found, as usual, between
two extremes. There is no use COM
batting the interest of the world in
physical strength and its expression.
Sampson is the first figure in the
Hebrew Bible to the average boy, and
history would be duller to many out
side of youth if its pages were not
illumined by the legend of strength he
roically expressed in Hercules and
Hector, in Achilles, and Richard, the
lion hearted, in Wallace and Robert
Bruce. Any sort of a duel enchains
the interest of men-a duel of brains
or bodies, of ballots or Of bullets. The
interest in the battle royal of the
gladiators at New Orleans-the finest
specimens of scientific physical devel-
opment that the world has ever seen
is only stratum lower than the
enthusiasm with which men follow the
intellectual gladiators upon the hust-
ings, and shout with delight as Black
rains his eloquent logic on Watson, or
with equal pleasure when Watson
lodges or counters with consummate
demagogy the terrific right of his
adversary. Humanity can't help it.
1t is built that way, and as long as its
constitution and temperament are
intact this side of the millennium it is
going to turn aside and watch with
glowing eyes any great contest in
which mighty forces, physical or
mental, are struggling tor the mas
terry.
Time and the second thought OF
humanity equalize the conditions of
which we complain. Corbett's crown
will fade. Whittier's laurels will
endure. Men will forget Corbett and
Sullivan in decade, but the lines and
the life of the "good gray poet" will
be quoted and referred to through
this generation at least. The interest
in physical men is fierce, frenzied, but
perishing. 1t passes in night. The
triumph Of intellect and spirit has no
limit in years or direction. They are
evergreens which live fresh through
the centuries.
After all, culture is the best antidote
to the poison that men see in pugilism.
Put culture at premium anywhere,

of State without the State profering
similar assistance. The State must ex.
pect the support of the county, the
township and the city, and hence |
have grouped together all these factors
because | consider the cooperation
of all of them as essential to carrying
out any general plan Of road building
which shall be worthy of State effort.
One plan would be for the State
Executive Board to divide the State
into three or five road districts, the
territory of each to be as nearly equal
in area as may be convenient. Let
the Board appoint one person from
each distric. to be known as the dis
trict Road Commissioner-the usual
division politically to be observed in
making the appointments. These per-
sons to constitute a State Board of
Road Commissioners, who shall have
the general supervision of the construc
ton of the State roads. The Board
to employ a skilled and competent
chief engineer, who shall be learned
in the science of road making, and
who shall submit to the Board at as
early day as the members shall des-
ignate a general plan for the construc-
ton of roads in conformity with the
requirements of the general assembly.
OF course the kind Of road to build
and the kind of material to use would
vary in different portions Of the State,
but a general plan could be agreed
upon, subject to such changes as diff
ferent localities might require.
Let the farmer bear in mind that
competition is creeping in upon him
from every direction from beyond
the seas and from beyond the i'm
mediate borders of his own country
If he would hold his own in the race
the world is making for cheap food
and not find himself sitting by the
wayside silently contemplating the
grandeur that has departed, let him
be quick to grasp every improvement
which promises to better his circum-
stances, that will reduce to the mini
mum the cost of soil products and in
crease to the maximum their value to
him before they pass into the ship
pers hands. In contemplating the
conditions which confront him let him
give ear to the voice of the multitude
which is proclaiming in trumpet tones
that the best civilization which is
surely advancing is coming over
s'better roads"
