BOIEg OF IOWA.

The Chicago Herald has some capable
writers on its staff and also some excel
lent artists, and it made n iudicious
eelection from its force the other day
when it sent scribe and sketcher 10 give
a great write-up 10 Gov. Boies. The text
of the half-page article resulting is clear
and clever, but without disparasement
of the writer it may be said that it is
really the pictures that boost the boom
OF Iowa's favorite son.
Just now" we are told, "the amiable
Governor is doing little more than eye

shrinkingly, like n maiden receiving her

that accompanies this paragraph shows

properly intent upon his horses and not
upon politics, with no very noticeable
feature in his appearance except "the
worst-looking bit OF head covering in

THE CONVENTION.

The convention to-day was repre-
sentative and harmonious gathering,
cemented by common purpose, fired by
patriotic zeal, inspired by the reasonable
expectation of victory.
Its work was the fruit of mature delib-
Grafton and of the most generous emula-
tion. 1t will bear examination.
The platform is an earnest reiteration
of Republican principles, so long upheld
by the party of progress. 1t speaks with
no uncertain sound upon the tariff as
the bulwark of American industry, upon
honest money as a National necessity. 1t
is clear and emphatic. 1t is not tissue
of evasions and inconsistencies. There
is in it not one word for buncombe.
The nominees are worthy of the State.
Mr.. Brown is man in middle life, ener-
getic, capable, courteous, a just EN-
ployer, a sterling Republican. Mr., Bull
is an experienced legislator in the upper
House, and fit representative of the
great agricultural interests of the State.
Mr.. Burbank and Mr.. Utter and Mr.
Clark have proved their fitness for Office
in their conduct of it. and have won by
meritorious work the endorsement of a
unanimous denomination.
1t is a good platform. 1t is n good
ticket. 1t is harmonious party which
upholds both platform and ticket.
Republicans of Rhode Island, the eyes
Of the country are upon you, the politi-
cal veal or woe of The nation in the
great contest which is approaching will
be affected by your action now. To
such ticket and to such a platform
active opposition there can be none.
Let them not suffer from the effects Of
apathy or neglect. Let no effort be left
untried that when the contest is done
the wires may flash from Machias to
Seattle, and from Chicago to st. Angus

The Reporter proposes. with the sane
tion OF Candidate Wardwell, TO place the
whole question (as TO the alleged payment
of 15 cents n day to adults) in the hands OF
the president OF the State Central Labor
union, the accused TO submit his evidence
and we ours, and let that gentleman re-
port. The only condition that the Re
porter asks is that, If its interviews are
found truthful, the representative OF the
labor interests of the State shall hold in
confidence the names of the Bristol work
ingmen who have given information.
Every workingman of Rhode Island will
understand the justice of this request.
The Democratic candidate can certainly
trust his interests, ii he is as much inter
ested in honest labor as he processes, in
the hands of the chief of an organization
like the Central Labor union. The Re
porter will defray the full expense OF the
inquiry. What say you, Mr.. Wardwell !!

As L WAS SAYING.

The NEWS How They Used to Look "
series Is an interesting commentary upon
the manner i'm which the fashions. even of
mems attire, change with the changing
years. Men now living, men strong, Wig
orous, even young, treasure up giinting
daguerreotypes which show their faces as
they looked years ago. and when we are
permitted To peep at them, whether they
are recognizable or not, the first impulse
is TO cry Great Scott Did | ever wear "A
coat like that Y' And you did; go and
LOOK at your own picture the one in Il
square black case with gilt snap.
And the faces, too, how changed Who
would ever recognize President Andrews
in the slender lad whose fine poetic face
was pictured on Friday; or Messenger
Rhodes in the stiff bearded man of sat
urday; or jolly DIR. Hill in the square
jawed Second Lieutenant who looked out
OF the NEWS pages yesterday; or good
Uncle Enos Lapham in the middle aged,
full bearded man whose picture, caught
from precious old miniature, appears to-
day
There is one thing noticeable about all
the pictures which have been published
aud about those which are TO come. AS a
man grows older he grows better looking.
Time plougns burrows in his face but
they give it character. Gray hair imparts
n distinction of its own. Take such a man
as Senator A ieriet er Dyer, or-Gfty
Clerk Clarke, would either look half as
we'll if his hair were black or brown! It's
the expression which gives character to II
face.
Even women grow beautiful as they
grow older. not infrequently. Everybody
Knows dozens of fiue looking women past
the fifty year mark, with sympathy writ
and honor shining from their gray locks.
/ think Mrs. Moncure ID. Conway, who
must be we'll toward sixty by her appear
ance, perhaps the most beautiful woman
have ever seen. Yet i'll youth she may
have been almost plain. for she could not
then have had the expression that now
lights up her countenance. Mrs. Eliza
beth Cady Stanton is another remarkably
fine looking old woman, known to fame.
Indeed, their name is legion.
It's the plain people, men and women
both, but especially women. VINO often
come out best looking i'm the long run. A
beautiful girl becomes silly with admira-
tion, and when her bloom fades aud her
smooth cheek is wrinkled there is nothing
left, unless the wrinkles spell kindness,
aud thought shines from her eyes and
character asserts itself in indefinable
ways. And the plain, unspoiled woman is
most apt 10 nave THESE SLOW advantages,
for she has had time to think seriously
and view with good humor the triumphs
of others.
There is n man in Rhode Island today,
an ex-journalist and ex-consul OF the
United States, who might sit for n por-
trait of a RaphRlite saint. An old man ?
OF course! WHAT young one ever looked

masses from his biz head and, with his
long gray beard, reminds Que of lions

frame, and the result is impressive. SO

Bryant and hosts of dead-and-gone wor-
thies whom we would like to have known.

The NEWS regrets that it has unwit-
tingly, in some of its remarks upon the
Washington trip bill presented in his
behalf, done an injustice to Mr. Ward
well. the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor of Rhode Island. And MS it is the
dearest wish Of the News to be scrupu-
lousy fair to its political opponents, we
take this early opportunity of offering
apologies for that injustice. 1t will be
our purpose to oppose MIR. Wardwell
vigorously in his present political ambi-
ton, but it would be inexcusable to al
low our political position to blind us to a
lamentable error in regard to Mr.. Ward
wells conduct after his return from
Washington on that memorable occa-
sion.
When Mr. Wardwell explained to
reporter of the News that he took his
daughter with him to Washington to
protect him against robbers, who might
entertain the idiotic idea that he was
going 10 travel with many thousands of
dollars about his person, we were led to
assume that the lady was of mature
years and hence entitled TO present abill
on her own account for services rendered
as bodyguard of the Lieutenant Gov
ernor OF the State. We are now in
formed, however, that the girl could not
have been above II years of age when
she had such weight of responsibility
saddled upon her young shoulders. 1t
beats the dime novel stories of boy detec-
tives and Indian fighters all hollow, this
tale ef hew the girl in short dresses
guarded her apprehensive sire past the
perils of the North River ferry and the
Grand Central station, and brought him
safe back TO Providence with nom
negotiable check only one week behind
time. But however distinguished her
services, her father was clearly entitled
TO collect in person the pay for them, rs
she was under age. Still. an itemized
bill, such rs follows, might better have
avoided captiou5 criticism:

pal,i Ioial,
sIIalf fare offered on railroad. Full fare
collected under protest on behalf OF the state.
Such bill would have been, in form,
all that the most censorious could re-
quire. We are still of the opinion that
$50 would have been enough. Nay, we
think that Mr.. Wardwell undoubtedly
erred in assuming that n fourteen-year-
old girl would ''yell and faint" if men
aced by robbers. Yell she probably
would. Faint she rs certainly would
not, that being an accomplishment re-
served for ladies of somewhat greater
age. who have ruined their nerves by
tea and corsets. But aside from all er.
