IOWA ruESS COMMENT.

Cedar Rapids Republican; The demo
cratic state central committee excuse us),
the popocratic state central committee Is
planning TO 70 into the secret society bust
ness preparatory to the coming campaigns
o. 1898 and $500. They expect TO form
clubs which will be known as THE Political
union" They will have constitutions and
bylaws, secret meetings, with grips and
mystic signs and other secret society char
acteristics all for the proposition of l6 to
and other pOpocratic vagares. The whole
scheme is antagonistic to the American
principle, and will result in the utter dis
integration of the silver party
Davenport Republican: meeting has
been called for the Goth at Des Moines of all
the people of Iowa who are opposed to the
present mulct law and are in favor of it's
appeal What the object OF this call is is
not apparent on its face. The people who
are opposed to the present mulct law are
opposed TO the best regulation Of the liquor
traffic that the state has ever had, and yet
1t Is scarcely proper to conclude that the
meeting has been called to forward the in
terests of the brewers and liquor dealers.
The reason that such a conclusion would not
be a fair one is that the people who are
engaged in the affair are known to be phil
anthrOpic in their intentions.
Dubuque Times: great many inquiries
are coming to the Times from over the state
and over the country as to the progress Of
Senator Allison toward recovery from his
Illness, and also as to the truth of the report
that he has been invited by Mr.. Mckinley to
take the premiership of the coming ad
ministration. The Times is permitted to
say: First-That the senator is making slow
but constant progress toward convalescence,
but that his physician and friends do not
believe it will be advisable for him to take
up his public duties before the close of the
Christmas recess of congress. SCCond-That
there Is absolutely no truth in the report that
ne has been offered any position in Mr.. Nc
Kinley' cabinet, and that all rumors based
upon such assumed offer are wholly gratu-
tous. This is the first time in thrtyfour
years that Senator Allison has had more
than a day or two invalidsm. or been forced
to absent himself from his public duties, or
to deny himself to the calls, or to the neg
lect the communications of his friends. He
naturally chafes a good deal because of
these enforced requirements, but hopes con
fidontly to be at Washington before the real
work of the session begins
Omaha daily bee., 1896-12-19
TOO MiNr oIIOMES.o

1t is the common practice in all state
institutions to magnify the Importance
Of their work and cXaggcratc the mum
Der of attendants or inmates in order
10 Impress the legislature with the ne
ccssity of making the largest possible
appropriations for maintenance and cX-
panSion. Occasionally there is an cX-
crption to this practice but instances
are very rare. In nearly every institu-
ton the estimates are purpoScly in
fatcd on the prcteXt that they are sure
to be cut down. The rule seems to be
TO ask for everything in sight and then
takc all that can be gotten. This sys-
tcmatic padding of estimates is respon-
siblc for extravaganza and unnecessary
outlays of pubic funds for needless en-
largcmcntS OF buildings and the re-
construction of buildings that would
serve their purposes for years.
Another costly feature of our peculiar
system of state institutions is the pro.
miscuous establishment of new asylumS
and homes for all sorts Of imaginary
dependents which grow from year to
year and become permanent burden
upon the taxpayers. We have homes
for the friendlcSs, and homes for the
frcble-minded, aud homes for fallen
women, all of which originated in the
desire Of certain ablc-bodicd benevolent
people to provide homes and salaries
for themselves. In every instance the
legislature Is importuncd on behalf of
suffering humanity to vote only small
sum TO set the ball a-rolling and assur-
ances are given that the new institu-
tion will be almost, If not wholly, self
supporting. What the oldest and
wcalthest states have done in this di-
rcction is always cited. when in fact
these states have vast incomes independ-
ent of direct taxation. Pennsylvania, for
example, levies no direct state tax at all.
but derives sufficient income for all
state purposes from taxes on corpora
tions New York is in almost the same
position, and so are Massachusetts and
Illinois. But those facts are never
taken into consideration when some
benevolent schemer wants this state to
establish another home.
The trouble with Nebraska is that it
has exceeded the limit of "homcs"
which it can afford to support respecta-
bly,. Instead of increasing their num-
Der or cnlarGinS their accommodations.
the coming legislature should abolish
or consolidate two or three of them
even if by so doing 1t throws some
political dependent out of home with
salary attachment.

the right OF Mckinley to the electoral vote
OF Virginia.
Oae ward In Richmond affords a striking
instance OF how Virginia was carried for the
apostle OF silver. OF the $500 legal voters
in Jackson ward only 900 were allowed TO
cast their ballots. The remaining 1900 were
kept from doing so by the most remarkable
election devices. To begin with, white
voters Invariably took the head Of the line
and held II so long as there was a white
voter in sight. Then the catechising OF
culored voters began. They were asked II
they had been naturalized or II their grand
fathers had been, They were told that they
could only vote in the precincts whore they
were horn or on the production OF naturali-
cation papers. They were disqualified he
cause they could not give tho name OF an
orthodox minister who baptized them. Some,
times they were informed that they were
marked dead on the poll books and could
only be restored on the presentation OF
physician's certificate or a guaranty from an
undertaken. Any excuse. no matter how
trivial or absurd, was considered sufficient
on which to base denial Of the Suffrage to
q negro II one finally ran the gauntlet and
presented his ballot he was used 20 block
the line and delay the voting until white
voters came along.
The disclosures made by the Honest Flee
tion league explains why Virginia. with
population of 1,6559SO in 1890. cast only
296.0lS votes last November, while Wiscon-
sin, with a population of $3.50, $50 cast 49,
All. If the votes counted but not cast in
Virginia were deducted from the above fig
ures the discrepancy would be even more
marked, Virginia, like Tennessee. is only
held in the Bryan column this year by fraud.
