IowA's REPUBLICAN pLATRoRM-rso4.

The Republican party comes again before tn,
and every prophecy fulnlled.
The history OF the past year has again dem
Onstrated the unfitneSs and incompetency o.
the Democratic party to administer the affair
of the Nation, and has again vindicated the
eternal truth of Republican principles.
From the universal disaster that has accom-
panied Democratic supremacy. we turn with
confident hope to the sacred duty OF restoring
peace and prosperity to distracted and dis
ordered country.
1 We again declare for a system of protective
duties so adjusted that every American re-
source can be developed by American labor, re.
ceiying American wages; and we insist upon a
tariff that will accomplish these ends.
9. We have but to mention the disastrous
results which have followed the mere menace
of free trade as conclusive evidence OF the wis
dom of the Republican policy In the past upon
g. We adhere to the declaration Of the Ma.
tlonal Republican party in 1892 upon Its none
L. we re-affirm our belief that ''the interests
OF the country, its farmers and workingmen,
demand that every dollar, paper or coin, issued
by the, government, shall be as good as any
other dollar"
8. We favor the largest possible use OF silver
as money, that Is consistent with the permanent
maintenance OF equal values of all dollars In cir
CulatiOn.
6. We do not want recommendation, either of
gold or OF silver, and we pledge ourselves TO
continue the work for bimetallism, to be brought
about by all fit means within the power Of the
government.
7. The welfare of the laborer and the main
tenance Of the dignity of labor have been the
constant care OF the Republican party from its
birth. Its whole history Is an effort to secure
TO the wage worker his just share OF the fruits
of toll; and 1t now renews its pledge to defend
the wOrkingmon not only against the assaults
OF foreign competition but against the attacks
of domestic avarice.
s. That the honest and industrious immigrant
who comes to our land with the intent 10 be-
come in good faith an American citizen, Is al.
ways welcome. None other should be permitted
to come. We favor the amendment and more
stringent enforcement of the immigration laws
so as to exclude criminal, pauper and all other
undesirable classes whose presence tends to de-
grade American labor and incte disorder.
8. The Republican party, ever mindful OF the
patriotic services and sacrifices of the veteran
soldiers OF the Republic, re-affirms its position
in favor of liberality to the Nations defenders.
We favor the granting Of pensions to all nonor-
ably discharged Union soldiers and sailors
whose disabilities or necessities justly entitle
them thereto.
The resolutions were adopted unanimously
without discussion.

VIOLA CENTER.
Notes on the Great Drouth.


| When you go through your corn com
pare it with nothing at all and you will
experience sense of relief, but if you
have in your mind what it might have
been there will be no comfort for you
" 1t would take a steady rain
for over o week to fill up the cracks in
the bottoms of dusty creeks. Prairie
chickens, quails, birds, weasels, minks
and polecats hover around slough wells
to quench their burning thirst. No
such calamity ever befell an industrial
people. The civil war of 1S6O-'65, was
not SO far reaching in its consequences
to the people. More property was lost
by the drouth of 1894 than the war
cost y John G. Bonwell was the
first to tighten the burdens of his de-
pressed tenants by sharing their bur-
dens with them, and taking a share of
the crops instead of exacting the pound
of flesh. John has always favored the
unfortunate. DR.. Jewell has also
shown magnanimous soul by meet
ing his tenants on equitable grounds
and giving them show for their lives.
Prairie schooners from worse drouth
striken districts seem to be almlessly
travelling about in search of something
to eat and do Not single
load of oats has gone this way to mar
ket. People dare not sell. Three nice
showers fell Friday afternoon. 1t was
the genuine stuff and no mistake
Railroad stocks will go down a
notch when freight trains are called
of. There will not be enough corn
shipped to Chicago to feed their game
cocks. Dunn & Co.'S, and Bradstreet's
commercial reports show an amazing
sight of ignorance as to the real situa-
ton, and then comes the government
reports rating the corn crop at IS to SO
as compared with last years crop.
Some of the Page county farmers
are hauling apples through here to sell.
They strnck a heavy competitor in D.
w. Hendricks, who is said to have a
thousand bushels. Onions
will be like small marbles and very
scarce at that. 1t took the board of
trade a long while to wake up to the
real facts of the case Every
body thought people some where else
had had more rain than they had.
One theory is dead, everybody thought
when tassel was dead it forever pre-
cluded that stalk from having an ear of
corn, but lots OF plump ears have come
under dead tasSelS. X Steam threshers
have mostly been obliged to lay on
their steer oars on account of not
enough water to run them. Horse
powers are in demand.
The farmers of Viola will likely pur-
chase directly of Chicago, and thus
make 60 cents 60 as far BIS a dollar
here. Phillip Bickelhaupt has begun
feeding his steers from the 1900 bushels
of corn hauled from Dedham.
Preachers are having a discouraging
time. The stewards are trying their
best to raise them some money, but
when fellows source of revenue is
wiped out what's a fellow to do?
These calamity notes end our wall and
next time We'll not say word about
it. but it's so nevertheless.

THE FLOOD AT MILTON,

On Tuesday afternoon in company
with about twenty others from Blooms.
burg, we went over to Milton by the
p. &. r. railroad TO see the devasta.
ton caused by the flood The water
rose on Sunday and Monday, until it
had reached point about fifteen
inches lower than in 1880. All the
business portion of the town was food
ed, including Broadway and Main
street. During Tuesday the water fell
five feet, and by Wednesday morning
the streets were passable again, the
river being within its banks. Two
spans of the P. &. R. bridge were
carried away by logs from the William
sport boom, and 1t was expected that
third span would go, as the logs
were banked against it higher than the
top Of the span.
The flood did not come as sudden
ly as in 1850, SO that every body had
time to move their goods to the second
floors. Pianos, cook stoves, and every
thing else movable was carried up
stairs. In many residences, there was
from four to eight feet on the first
floors, and great damage has been
done. Every train was crowded with
people from adjoining towns who were
brought to Milton out of curiosity. 1t
will take months to get the water out
of cellars, and to clean up and repaint
and paper, and tor long time the
dampness in the houses cannot but
render them unhealthy.
The people of Milton are certainly
entitled to much sympathy, for they
have been very unfortunate.
The flood of 1860, the fire OF 1881,
and the floods of 1850 and 1894 have
been heavy blows to the place, but the
residents have borne up brayely and
have struggled hard against adversely,
and seem cheerful and hopeful in the
midst of disaster, If they ask for help
it ought to be most heartily rendered
to them.
