A fight is going on in this city among
the Republicans for the mayorality that is,
in our opinion, in bad taste. There are
charges and counter charges made that
have no place in decent politics. Some OF
them have no foundation in fact or rea-
son. They are simply made to sway pre-
JUDGED minds. The IOWA STATE BY
sTAEDER is for the Republican nominee.
It can safely take this position, for it be-
lieyes that the honest men will attend to
the selection and not allow loud mouthed
politicians to outvote them. The sayings
and doings of Democratic papers have or
should have no weight III republican coun-
ellis. Get the best and most reasonable
information and then act upon it.

other pending bills for establishing new
charitable and raformatory Institutions
requiring large appropriations. One to
institute a home for reputable girls seek
ing employment calls for an initial eX-
penditure OF 100000. The enlargement
of the Reform School for Girls will require
$4,000 and "a considerable sum will be
needed to carry out the projects for the
foundation Of an asylum for inebriates.
for a minor infectious hospital, and for the
development of the Eastern Dispensary
all OF which are approved by the local
authorities. The enactment of all these

during the coming year of more than Sf0D,-

1t is respectfully submitted whether,
in the present condition OF public finances,
there be sufficient need for new rcforma-
tories and homes to warrant large out

BUNCE'S MYSTERIOUS FLEET.
Mr.. Herbert Refused TO Tell About
the Mont Gomery and Raleigh.

% Secretary Herbert absolutely refused yes
terday 10 say anything abolt thedestination
OF the cruisers Montgomery and Raleigh,
which are reported to have left Admiral
Buncc's squadron at Hampton Roads at
midnight and gone out tO sea.
The TWO cruisers are not very formidable
and il is asserted that they have probably
gone out with hostile intentions toward
nothing more than a target or two. That
they sailed at midnight means in all likeli
hood that they intend tO begin target
practice outside the Virginia Capes by day
light.
On the other hand, their destination may
have connection with alleged Cuban fiji
clustering movements. The cloak Of mystery
is thrown round everything connected with
Admiral Bunce's so-called squadron OF evO-
luton.
