BOIEs' BID.

The Democratic State Convention of
Iowa is in session at Council Bluffs to-
day, and its course has been pretty clear
ly mapped out for it by the party mana
gers. 1t is TO make as graceful a strad-
die as it finds itself equal to on the sill
yer question. It's object, of course, is to
do its best for Boies, who has in the past
endorsed free silver guardedly, but who
began his campaign for the Presidential
nomination with his now famous speech
at Denver, and has followed that up with
quiet canvass against any reaffirma-
ton in the Iowa platform of the free silver
resolutions of the past two years. Boies
thinks himself clever enough to main
tain an understanding with the West
and South without letting the East get
wind of his plan. ~ssIe wants TO concili-
ate both sides. And he is right, for
without such Cancellation Democratic
defeat is inevitable; but the pulleys
don't seem to work quite smoothly. The

State refuse to be satisfied with an sun.
derstanding." They have not gone into
the convention; they are letting Boies
have things measurably his own way.
But will they vote the Democratic
ticket? Hardly.
They are standing aloof, prepared to
unite with the Peoples Party if they
can do no better, but hoping to see, if
the Chicago Convention disappoints
them, a free silver Presidential ticket
placed in the field. Iowa, for these and
other reasons. can be counted as safely
Republican this autumn.

EpsrErN,s BAD REASONING.

Rosalie Epstein, of Jersey City, is
suing for divorce from Harry Epstein.
She says Harry has beaten and other
wise ill-used her. Harry says he hasn't,
but enters upon line of reasoning in
tended, apparently, to prove that if he
had, his chastisements would have been
in order. for, says Harry, his wife
agreed to buy him for $1,000, and up to
date has paid only about 5000 of the
purchase money.
Chancellor McGill, before whom the
case was heard, reserved his decision,
and it may not be too late, therefore, to
say that, in the opinion of the News,
Epstein has been conducting himself ir-
nationally. If he bargained with Rosalie
before marriage that $4,000 was to be
put up by her for the privilege Of calling
him husband, he ought not as sensible
man, to hazard his chances of collect
ing the debt by reducing Rosalie's earn
ing power. Ii must be true of women,
as of horses, that when well-fed and
kindly treated, they are equal to a
greater amount of work in given period
and retain for longer time their working
power. Horse car companies and such
like corporations, always excepting the
Fifth avenue, New York, stage line, find
it to their pecuniary benefit to see that
their animals are carefully driven. Ep-
stein may well take advantage Of their
experience. A sick and sour Rosalie
will never raise the 81, 100 still due un-
der contract. The sum is a large one at
the wage rates ordinarily received by
women, and Rosalie must be woman
of uncommon courage. as well as of un-
common admiration of Harry's useful
and ornamental manly qualities, to have
numbered herself with such load.
We do not urge upon Epstein n re-
mission of any portion of the debt. for
doubtless he best knows his own values
but purely in the line of business policy,
we suggest that beatings are extrava-
giant and wasteful.

"CONSIsTENCY.". "

The Newport Herald copies the Bos-
ton Posf-even as the Providence Jour
nal follows the Boston Herdlds lead
and asks ''Why not try the lnman line
experiment On larger scale?" The
Herald thinks, of course, that it is max
ing point for free ships when it talks
ut "letting in the City of New
York and the City of Paris free of duty
and its squint-eyed vision finds an
abandonment of the protective prin-
ciple' and a consequent inconsistency"
in the Republican action.
For the benefit Of the Post, Herald ct
alii, Republicans have no objections to
stating that if other steamship lines can
be found ready to submit to the con-
ditions to which the Inmans have sub
mitted, namely, restricted privileges for
their 10000 ton cruisers, if they can
prove themselves to possess any, and an
obligation to award contracts to Ameri-
can shipyards for the construction of as
mcny and as powerful vessels as those
received, they will be admitted gladly to
our registry. AS things look at present,
the Inman line may very probably build,
not two but from three to FIVE crack
steamships in this country. To en-
courage this work is the very essence of
Republican consistency"

win be reached again and even passed
some day.


The fair and frank way in which the
News treated the passage of the River
and Harbor bill passed by Democratic
House seems to have surprised some in
quirers who wish to know if the Repub-
lican party is not entitled to make
political capital out of the whole subject.
Certainly it is. The NEWS at least
proposes to leave none of its readers in
doubt of its purpose to reprobate Demo
cratic hypocrisy and expose the shat
tered promises of Democratic economy.
But not by misstatemert, overstate-
ment or unfairness. The truth is bad
enough for our friends, the enemy.
There is no need to exaggerate, even IL
we had the will to do it.
The bill as whole is not bad nor ex-
travagant, though there may be bad and
extravagant items included. A large
River and Harbor appropriation may be
very good and wise one. A small one
may be very unwise. The character of
the bill, not the sum total of its items,
determines.
But what an exposure of Democratic
hypocrisy Before election the party of
"outs promised what they knew they
could not perform. They appealed to
the people to elect them because the Nc
Kinley bill raised prices-which it has
not done-and because they promised
to reduce expenditures, which they are
not doing, and which they never in
tended to do. Such hypocrisy, such
reckless bandying with untruths, form
argument enough to prove Democracy
unworthy, without assuming, as so many
OF its own orators and organs are
doing, that it is run by thieves and
boodlers as well.
The vote which passed the bill was
not partisan vote. Republicans as
well as Democrats had the courage to
vote for it in spite of anticipated abuse.
But the latter will justly be held respon-
sible, not for extravaganza now but for
lying professions two years ago.

The hardest and hottest political fight
Of the Legislative session was fought
yesterday over the bill increasing the
term Of Office of sheriffs and fixing their
compensation. The commonest criticism
passed upon American political systems
is that our too frequent changes in
administrative Offices deprive the public
of much Of the benefit Of experience in
officials. A five year term for sheriffs is
undoubtedly longer than the average in
other States, but it would be rash to say
that 1t is too long. Rather might one
conclude that the terms Of most officials
are too short. ~

pom will be counted once and no more,

In the debate upon the admiss ion O

In the debate upon the admiss ion of
certain ocean steamers to American
registry, Mr.. Mills, of Corsicana, Texas,
said: 81 want that anybody, in the
exercise Of his natural right as free
man, shall be at liberty TO go into the
markets of the world and buy anything
from ship to pin, and bring it to
this country" That's pretty frank
declaration for "absolute free trade"
isn't it? No ''revenue reform" or
s'tarif reduction" nonsense about it.

received charters than for the same
time during any previous ten years.
Articles of incorporation were filed and
charters given to twenty-seven COM
panies, with an average capital stock
each Of $1,000,000. It might be added,
however, that $l,0O0,0O0 is the usual
nominal value of mining concern,

or does not exceed few hundreds.
