THE IOWA REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

THE IOWA REPUBLICAN, CONVENTION.
The Iowa republican state convention,
to select delegates-at-large to the ma
tional republican convention, will meet
at Des Moines today. The indications
are favorable to harmony, although it is
quite possible that some strife may be
created by politicians, who are more
concerned for their personal interests
than for the welfare of the party. Re-
publicans very generally have accepted
the declination Of Mr.. Blaine to be con-
sldered a candidate as final, and Iowa
republicans will pay no compliment to
that distinguished leader If they insist
upon regarding him us candidate
after his explicit and unequivocal an
nouncement that he is not and will not
be. Respect for the candor and politi :
cal integrity of Mr.. Blaine demands
that he be taken at his word, and no
man should be sent rs delegate to
Minneapolis who is not disposed to do
this.
1t is to be hoped the republicans of
Iowa will take no doubtful position re-
garding the currency. They should de-
clare without equivocation or reserva-
tion for honest money and against the
free coinage of silver. This is to be a
leading if not the leading issue in the
coming national campaign, and it is
most important that the republicans of
this section of the country shall be right
on it. The voice of Iowa republicans
regarding the currency will have great
influence with the national convention,
and therefore it should have no uncer-
tain or doubtful tone. The republicans of
Rhode Island have just spoken plainly
on this issue, and their example may
wisely be followed by the republicans OF
Iowa. If this is done there can be no
doubt that the immediate effect will be
beneficial to the party at large, since it
will go far to correct the impression
that western republicans are not sound
on the currency question, whereas a
weak and evasive expression may do
harm in tending TO confirm this i'm
preston and in giving confidence to the
advocates of policy that would debase
the currency. The convention will
probably have nothing to say about
other than national questions, and it
would manitestly be a mistake to lug in
prohibition or any other local issue

Cause of the Killing of David Boyer by
His Son.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, March 10. Washing
ton Boyer, the young man who was arrested
late last night, charged with assassinatiug
his father, has been county superintendent
OF education for some time. His father,
David Boyer, who was murdered, lived on
fine farm, about four miles from Newport.
c. F.. Boyer, brother of the murdered man.
has been successively sheriff, and circuit
court clerk of tho county. He is man of
wealth and standing Lately he has occupied
the responsible position as cashier of the
New port bank.
1t Is fully evident that others will be ar.
rested. A woman of i'll repute will probably
be taken. She, it is charged, has been the
mistress of Boyer for some time 1t has been
developed that some days ago Boyer pre-
sented u deed to the county register purport-
ing to be from his father to him, conveying
to him in fee all his property. The signatures
OF man by the name Of Holt and of a son of
his, appeared as witnesses on the instrument
to David Boyers signature. The register
refused to record the deed, believing it tor
gory. These men are suspected as accom-
plices. Holt has a brother III Jail in this city,
charged with murder
The coroner's veruict is that David Boyer
came to his death at the hand of Washington
Boyer, his son, josie Moore is the woman
who is mixed up in the affair. She lived in
u house on the farm of the deceased. Some
time ago her house was blown up with dyna-
mite on night when Boyer, Sr, was in it.
1t is charged that Washington Boyer was IN
iluenced by his mother to do this, she being
Jealous of the woman. Another theory is that
Boyer, Sr, and Boyer, Jr, were each paying
court to this womyn. Boyer was brought
here to escape a possible lynching.

Cincinnati Commercial; The Paddock pure
TODD bill, which passed the senate last week,
IS severely criticised in some quarters. The
law, which does not determine what articles

that Impure articles shall not be shipped
from ono state to another is intended to sup
PIGMENT the pure food laws of tho several
states. State laws ara limited In their ap.
pu uSation. They cannot prevent the shipment
OF fraudulent articles to other states or to
foreign markets. This is what the senate bill
proposes to do II will, Tor example, prevent
dlshonest men FROM injuring our canned

see why honest manufacturers should oppose
it, Some OF the manufacturing druggists are

aimed at patent medicines. That does not
speak very well for their medicines. No OK
pense is imposed on them. All they have TO
do Is to furnish samples OF their goods to

Washing gton Star: The new food and drink
bill which passed tho senate yesterday is
also drug bill. Its purpose Is To provide
pure food, drink, medicines, etc. The act is
apparently constitutional, being confined to
commerce between the states or territories
or any of them in u foreign country. There
has long existed necessity for well-guarded
legislation of the kind.
Now York Commercial: The Paddock
bill, Of course, applies only to interstate sale
OF adulterated goods, aud needs the passage
of state laws to make it completely effective.

THE SUGAR BOUNTY.

II is to be expected that the house OF
representatives will repeal the sugar
bounty. a bill for this purpose was in
troduced some time ago, and IL is an
nounced that ii will be reported at once
II is suggested that it may not be passed
as separate measure, but be attached
as rider to one OF the appropriation
bills, the passage Of which will be made
dependent on the bounty-repealing
clause remaining in the bill, This
would not be an unprecedented e&-
pedient, but it is by no means certain
that H. would be successful. The PROPOSE
tion to repeal the sugar bounty has very
general democratic approval, so that its
adoption by the house may be regarded
as almost assured but IL is hardly proba-
BILE that it could pass the senate as a
separate measure In case it did, how
ever, it would undoubtedly be vetoed by
the president
The repeal of the sugar bounty would
be n very serious blow to the beet sugar
industry in this country, which gives
promise OF STEADY and rapid develop
ment if the encouragement afforded by
the bounty is not withdrawn. Several
extensive factories for making beet
sugar were projected in different locali-
ties when the bill to repeal tho bounty
was introduced in the house of represen-
tatives, and it need hardly be said that
these proposed enterprises have been
abandoned, or are held in abeyance until
10 a
months since the sugar bounty provis-
ions Of the tariff law became operative,
yet what has been accomplished in that
time warrants the belief that il the
bounty should be continued until July |,
1905, when it would cease by statute
Limitation, the United States will be
producing enough sugar to very nearly
if not quite to supply the home demand.
OF course the amount of the bounty that
would be paid during the thirteen years
would in the aggregate be very large
sum, but it would all go to our own peo-
pie, instead of sending n nearly equal
amount to foreign sugar producers, and
we should have established great and
permanent industry, employing millions
of capital and the labor of tens OF thou
sands OF people and profitable to great
number of farmers To kill this indus
try would be directly in the interest of
foreign producers, who, relieved of the
growing American competition, would
be enabled to charge more to American
consumers.
1t is to be apprehended, however, that
considerations of this kind will avail
little with democratic house of repre-
sentatives which is looking after politi.
cal capital, with very little regard for
the interests of the country

BAYARD ON SILVER.


Another influential democratic voice.
or one which for many years possessed
potency with the party, has pronounced
against the policy of free and unlimited
silver coinage. Hon. Thomas f. Bayard
of Delaware, long a United States sena-
tor and secretary of state in the ad-
ministration of President Cleveland, in
public letter to the democracy OF the
country admonishes the party not to give
its support to free silver. IL does not
detract from the counsel of the veteran
statesman that he thinks mistake was
made in remonetizing silver by the act
OF 1878. The value of his opinion re-
garding that legislation must be judged
by results, and there are not many who
will maintain that these warrant or JUS
tify his criticism of what was then done
for the restoration of silver. But he
sees clearly and wisely when-h points
out the danger Of making the coinage OF
silver free and unlimited, as it Is evil
IDENTIFY the desire OF a majority OF the
democratic party shall be done.
Mr.. Bayard says he does not pretend
to read between the lines of the late
votes and action OF the house OF repre-.
sentatives. II they mean the cunning
OF finesse and the strategy of concealed
motives, then the party is playing with
fire and treating question of the great
est public import in an unworthy way.

THE OMAHA DAILY BEE THURSDAY, MARCH H. 1892

regarding the meaning OF the vote to
consider the free silver bill on March %
The democratic vote in favor OF that
proposition was 139 and against il 81. 1t
was understood to be test OF the
strength OF the free silver and the anti
free silver factions, and it demonstrated
that the former are overwhelmingly in
the majority. That the division as
established by this vote will remain
practically unchanged must he regarded
as reasonably certain. 1t is not an
parent what new influences can be
brought to bear against free silver,
greater than those which we're eXerted
before that vote was taken, which might
effect such "a change as to reverse the
situation. Tho democrats opposed to
free silver used without avail every pos
sible argument that could be brought to
bear. Those who believe it to be mex
pedient, from tho point of view of party
interest to consider the question ut this
time, found their appeals futile. The
democratic supporters of free silver were
united and determined, and there is
every reason to expect will continue to
be.
The earnest admonltion and warning
of Mr.. Bayard, it is therefore safe to
assume, will have little if any influence.
What such leaders as Mr. Cleveland and
Mr.. Carlisle could not accomplish the
retired and almost forgotten Delaware
statesman may not hope to do, The
Crisps and Blands who are now the
pilots of the democratic ship propose TO
steer it according to their own notions.

GLOBE Democrat: BarkIs Cleveland is
willin', but the country is likely to hold out
against his Establishments better than Clara
Peggotty did against those of the original
Barkis.
Chicago Herald: The ex-president's will
ingness to become for the third time the
standard bearer OF the national democracy,
especially in view of the conditions which
exist III New York, will be u surprise to
many OF his friends. If he really hoped and
expected to be selected at Chicago his letter
to General Bragg is unquestionably mis-
take.
Denver Sun: Mr. Cleveland is not retir-
ing, thank you. He is Just now very much
of a candidate, and 1t really looks as il he
would cut much bigger figure in the Chi
cago convention than Mr.. Hill. His self
avowed candidacy will whet anew his ardent
admirers enthusiasm, and it will also assist
in hopelessly dividing his party In the great
state Of New York.
St. Paul Globe: Grover Cleveland will
take the presidential nominatian if it is
offered to him, but he will not seek it after
the fashion. of the little men who strive to
make up by craft what thoy lack in character
and ability. Grover Cleveland will. not only
take the presidential nomination if it is
offered to bin, but, unless all indications
speak falsely, great wave OF popular en-
thusiasm will stampede the Chicago conven-
ton In his favor.

Edward S. Bragg of Wisconsin Mr.. Cleve-
land does not declare himself candidate,
nor does he declare that he will not be a can
didate If asked to be by those who alone have
the right and duty OF asking. He says in
effect that it is theiDnsiness of the people TO
select presidential candldates. and no has not
yet been selected, This is the only sensible
way to look at it. He cannot afford either to
seek or refuse the nomination. If the party
needs him II has the right to call him, aud IL
1t needs someone else more 1t has the same
right to select sosoo9 else
