IOWA REPUBLICANS.

Platform Against Prohibition.
DIES MONIES, Ia, Aug. 1.-THE re
publican state convention which met
here yesterday was the most enthusi
astic in years. Over 5000 people were
in the hall when Chairman Blythe OF
the state committee called for order
Ex-senator Harlan was presented as
chairman amid great applause. He
said he believed that there were
enough intelligent republicans in
America to overturn the demo
cratic administration, but they should
work increasingly to that end.
Among other principles of the repub-
lican party he enumerated such dis
elimination in tariff duties as should
protect American industries. whether
of farm or shop, and sound financial
system which meant money-gold. sill
yer and paper, every dollar as good as
every other dollar.
Dies MONIES, Ia, Aug. 1s.-Ten can
didates for governor were placed before
the republican convention, and after
two ballots resulted in the nominal ton
of T. d. Jackson.
The committee on resolutions then
made its report and adopted a platform
which was practically the Minneapolis
national platform. 1t Endorsed every
act of President Harrison, condemned
everything democratic and refused to
indorse prohibition, saying that pro
hibition is no test of ublicanism.
This plank in the platform in full is as
follows:
That prohibition is no tesS Of repub.icanism

THE HOUSE WHERE MIR. BLAINE DIED.
strove for twenty-five years to reach the
presidency. He paid down the honest
coin of great talents and great endeavor
He had merit and accomplishment. His
capacity for the highest place has not
been questioned by any, America has
not produced man who in native gifts
and brilliant attainments was more fitted
for tho presidential Office than James G..
Blaine.
But he missed i'll 1t was with him a
quest and struggle Of Tantalus. Once and
again the glittering prize was within his
grasp. At Cincinnati in 1876 only twen-
ty-eight votes were lacking to his nomina-
ton. Certainly had he been nominated
he would have received as many votes as
Hayes. In that convention the faces Of
his rivals looked leeringly from the eau
Gus rooms, and Blaine was beaten. In
1880 he was again in the arena and well
nigh successful. In that year the nomi-
nation would certainly have brought
election, as 1t brought the prize to Gar
field.
Four years more, and the man from
Maine captures the preliminary choice
and is launched on the sea Of the can
vass. He manages his own campaign.
The antecedents Of success are com.
passed The two pivotal states are won,
and then, on the eve of the election, the
greatest of the two is suddenly trans
ferred to the enemy by farcical per-
sonal incident which brought defeat tC
the great leader and gave to an unknown
preacher such fame as Empedocles got
for jumping into Etnal
The quest went on. Another four year
period passed, and Blaine stood obviously
on the horizon. OF a certainty he might
have had the nomination. Probably he
would have taken it but for the belief
which he doubtlessly entertained that at
least one Of the pivotal states would vote
against him. The man whom he had
employed four years before as his law
yer walked off with the prize and strobe
into the White Housed A second time
Blaine Is secretary Of state. II might
well appear that the phantom Of the
presidency had now vanished, but not
so. Probably IL never vanished from the
mind Of any one who has once seen the
vision. Could we penetrate the mind Of
Blaine during the last quadrennium Of
his life we should see the cross currents
Of early ambitions and Of mature reason
flowing together and breaking in long
lines Of foam.
They who find interest in such facts as
national conventions, and who suppose
that bodies Of that kind are really forces
in human history, may well discover
food In the Minneapolis convention OF
1892. Let 1t be said that II ever Blaine
was outwitted by a competitor 1t was
by Benjamin Harrisonl With the ap-
proach Of the presidential year Blaine
found himself impeded with obstacles,
weighted with circumstances, hobbled

White Cliff Cement Co.

The above company, which promises
to do so much toward the financial
betterment of this portion Of the State,
and to play such an important part in
the development Of our heretofore un-
developed resources, is one of the
most important and interesting organ
izations, 80 far as Texarkana and the
surrounding country is concerned,
that has been effected for some time.
The members Of the company will ar
rive In the city on or about the 1st Of
next month, to meet and confer with
their representative, Capt. Kelly, who
is already on the ground, and to ar
range for permanent organization un-
der the laws Of Arkansas. The work
of constructing buildings, putting in
plant and improving the company's
property generally, will begin without
delay and be pushed TO speedy com
pletion, as there Is abundant capital
behind the organization to carry out
fully aud correctly all desirable or
necessary plans for the works.

CHEAP TRANSPORTATION.

One of the greatest needs of Texar-
kama is cheap transportation facilities.
And we can get this boon by building
railroad out to Sulphur river, some
nine miles distant This stream Is
navigable nine months in the year.
BY this means freight rates could be
reduced fully fifty per cent. The
saving to the city in one year, would
more than pay the cost of building the
proposed railroad, the estimated cost
Of which is only $4,000.
In this connection the Pine Bluff
Commercial thus speaks of the cheap
ness ofits water transportation: "The
Arkansas River Packet Company de-
livers all freight from Memphis for
the small sum of Is cents per hundred
and freights from st. Louis for only
80 cents per hundred to Pine Bluff"
The great Importance to Texarkana
of building this short railroad to Sui
phur is thus readily seen. Our freight
rates from st. Louis is now $l.25 per
hundred, and from New Orleans and
Memphis about the same, for first
class freight If we secure this water
transportation, 1t will easily and per-
manently be reduced one half.
BY all means Texarkana should take
hold of and build the railroad to Sui
phur river, and secure the boon of
cheap transportation.
Daily Texarkana Democrat., 1893-01-27

that Blaine himself might be thus de-
stroyed We will try 1t. He has pur-
chased railway bonds. He has received
moneys from the Union Pacific. He is
waist deep in the securities Of the Little
Rock and Fort Smith railway, He shall
be investigated. Mulligan shall produce
his letters. We will have scene. 1t is
the 9th of June, 1875 Blaine rises
from the speakers desk and holds aloft
bundle Of papers. 1t is the incrimi-
mating package. He himself will read
them through one by one Certainly he
has humiliation and modification to do
It, but he will read them! Courage is
necessary for such task, but the letters
must be read. 81 invite the confidence
of A, 10000 of my countrymen while l
read these letters from this desk" The
reading was completed. None could
have done it better. The speaker then
turned upon the chairman of the COM
mittee and scornfully charged him with
purposely withholding and suppressing
communication which would have alb
solutely exonerated him from the charges
which had been circulated against his
honor. The crisis broke in another tIi-
umph, perhaps the most dramatic and
sensational ever witnessed in the house
Of representatives
Blaine has been held to stern account
by the American people in the matter Of
the Mulhgan correspondence. So be it.
He is neither wholly cleared nor wholly
condemned. The transaction was ambig-
uous and tortuous In the retrospect 1t
hath ugliness. 1t should be said, however,
that Blaine in this matter was more TO
be blamed for acting and regeneration
than he was for the original business
This trait has been one of the prime
weaknesses Of the great character before
us. While he possessed many kinds Of
audacity he was lacking in certain ele-
ment of moral courage. 1t was the bane
of his life to have weakness at certain
points where he should have been strong,
Satan never uttered a more sterling
truth than when he said, spirit, to be
weak is to be miserable" Blaine in
some particulars has been both weak
and miserable. If, for example, he had
simply said, 81 made honorable purchase
of railway bonds; it is nobody's bust
ness, and what are you going to do about
it?" the matter would have ended.
James G, Blaine would be president Of
the United States. This was the domi-
nant passion Of his soul and life. What
ever interposed between him and his
purpose was in the nature Of an eclipse
1t is strange thing that American
statesmen have not yet learned that the
presidency of the United States goes by
accident and indirection, and not by
ambition, contrivance and endeavor
Who has long sought the presidency and
gained it? The great Office not only goes
without the ambition of the winner, but
with little regard to his merit. Blaine

The many citizens of Texarkana
who are interested in the extension of
the Texarkana a. Fort Smith road and
who realize the great Importance Of
the completion of tins line to the fu-
ture welfare and prosperity of this
city, will be greeably surprised to
learn that the men who have recently
purchased the road will reach this city
on Monday, the 30th instant, for the
purpose of eflectng complete re-or-
ganization of the road ond adopting
plans for the immediate resumption
of work along the line of proposed
construction. The party comprising
the new ownership consists Of seven-
teen substantial and well known cap
italists and railway promoters, who,
now that they have assumed the pro-
prietorship of the line, will lose no
time in pushing the road TO compile

cial world this great gateway to the
Gulf country, shortening the distance
thereto by several hundreds of miles.

with unbreakable official relations, and,
worst of all, weakened with the ap-
proach of age. The fire still burned
within him, but the volcano was less
active than of old. The result was that
the uphaming of his ambition at Mime
apolis was only fitful glare. He blazed
feebly and went out, Partisanship had
kindled its fires on all the surrounding
heights, and the light of the great umi-
nary was quenohed in the crackle of tho

bellion he laid strong and ambitious
hand. He was o determinative force
in the financial measures upon which
the business and wealth OF tho
United States have found profitable
but unstable equilibrium. He pressed
forward with ceaseless activity the meas
ures Of reconstruction. He ascended
the sharp and jutting crag OF party
leadership. With the statesman's mo-
tive, not unmixed with the motive OF the
politician, he flung himself into the
heated and imbittered debates OF the
epoch, .
The legislative career Of Blaine was
touched in many parts with the hrst
penciling of those policies with when
his name has become associated Al,
ready we may discover in the tone OF
his debates and the spirit Of his outside
speeches the outgivings of those views

all avenues Of earthly hope and ambition
are closed forever, but he vf' away

A SENSIBLE PROTEST,
Against the Death Trap known as the
Government Printing ONCE.


The Vice President today laid before the
Senate series of resolutions that were
adopted last June by the International Typo
graphical Union at the annual convention
in Chicago. petitioning Congress to hasten to
replace the old government printing office
with a new building. The resolutions are
as follows:
Whereas the late catastrophe in the old
Fords Theater building in Washington
where many lives were lost and scores Of
people were injured. has shocked the entire
country and
Whereas the calamity is undoubtedly the
result of an almost criminal policy on the
part of great and rich government in
crowding hundreds of it's employees into
buildings which are known to be structur-
ally weak and so lacking in modern improve
ments as to seriously endanger health and
life, and
Whereas there are 5000 people employed
in the government printing office upwards
OF $50 of whom are members of this organi-
Zation and
Whereas that building is notoriously in
adequate for the purposes to which 1t is put
Is totally lacking in modern improvements
having no system of ventilation, and is a
constant menace to the health and lives of
the employees in it: therefore, be it
Resolved by the International Typo
graphical Union in convention assembled
that We do most heartily protest against
further delay on the part of Congress- in the
matter of providing for a modern building
in which to do the printing of the govern
ment, and we urge the printing committees
of both houses of Congress to have the
question brought speedily to the considera-
ton of their respective houses at their next
session."
