long have sought and mourned because they

Cedar Rapids Republican: Iowa could with
profit follow the example of some or the
older states and elect officers who would
hold for a period Of four years, and con-
soldate some of the elections. We would
then be practically free from politics every
other year and have some little opportunity
to attend to business.
Charles City Citizen: Nearly every demo-
cratic editor who opposes Grover Cleveland
in this section OF the country is one who
applied for and failed to get a postofhce,
Among them are the editors of the Cresco
Plain Dealer, the Decorah Journal, Elkader
Register, Mason City Times-Eerald, Hamp-
ton Globe, Waukon Democrat and others,
1t would seem their loyalty to true dem
ocracy was measured by a postotice-but
maybe not.

Osceola Independent: The official survey
OF Iowa shows the eastern boundary Of the
state to be 365 miles long and the western
3GG miles AZ chains. The average elevation
of the surface OF the state above sea level
is about 700 feet. The lowest point is at
Keokuk, 444 feet above the sea level, and the
highest point is near Spirit Lake, which is
about 700 feet above sea level. 1t Is claimed
by some that Alta Buena Vista county, is
the highest point in the state.

One of The Bees editorial paragraphs
ernor IIolcomb of the invitation to par
ticipate in the inaugural ceremonies of
the TransmissiSsippi Exposition seems
To have done the governor an injustice.
The governors letter in full in response
to the invitation was as follows:
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER, LINCOLN, April
s, 1S97.-Messrs G. w. Wattles and A. C.
Smith, Omaha.-Gentlemen l have your
highly appreciated favor OF the 9Th inst. in
viting mo to participate in the inaugural
ceremonies OF the Transmississippi and Inter
national Exposition. l should have been very
much pleased to have been present on this
occasion, but prior to the receipt of your
letter of invitation had made arrangements
for a brief VACATION, which viii take me out
of the state for a week or ten days following
the 10th int.
If it is deemed advantageous to the success
OF these ceremonies that the state should be
represented on this occasion, 1 will gladly
join you in a request to Lieutenant Governor
Harris and have no doubt Of his willingness
to participate.
Trusting that you will have an auspicous
opening for the great exposition and regret
ting that l will not have the pleasure Of being
present l am yours very truly,
;sa SILAS A. HOLCOMB.
Governor Holcomb's interest in and de-
votion to the exposition has never been
questioned. nor has his readiness to do
everything in his power to promote its
success been wanting at any time.

The address issued by the executive
committee of the National AssOcia ton OF
Popocratic Clubs is mainly the familiar
old talk about republican policy putting
the Industrial classes under tribute to
monOpoleS and the terrible things to be
apprchended from higher taxation, or in
other words from giving better protec-
ton to American industries. 1t is de.
clared that the fundamental principles
of democracy, as defined by Jefferson,
are about to be disregardcd, which
simply means that the republican party
is endeavoring to have put into effect II
revenue policy that will give the govern
ment an income at least equal to OK.
penditures, thereby stopping deficits and
debt-making. 1t certainly has been til"
practice If not a Fundamental prin-
ciple," of the democratic party to de-
prive the government of adequate reye-
nue.. In 1857 the country had demo.
cratic tariff and it brought panic, bank
ruptcy and ruin. Under that act the
public debt was increased S46,00O,0OO,
while the expenditures exceeded receipts
over $T7 100000 in single year. The
government had to pay an extraordinary
high rate of interest in order to obtain
money, so impaired was its credit in con
sequence of this tariff legislation. The
first opportunity which the democracy
has had since to legislate against the
s0lvency and credit of the government
was most fully improved and every
body is familiar with the results. The
government owes $262, 900, 900 more of
Understanding debt than ii owed when
the second Cleveland administration
came in, while an enormous deficit has
been piled mp under the operation of the
present tariff law.
1t must appear TO all rational men,
who can look mt the matter in prac-
teal rather than n partisan way, that
it is time to disregard principles whose
application produces such results. For
things to go on as they havo been going
for the last four years would simply
end in national bankruptcy and general

ruin. There Is imperative necessity
for II change. 'sFhcrc may be honest diff
ference Of Opinion as to rates of duties
and the inca sure of protection to he
given American Industries. but it has
been most gamply demonstrated that
higher rates generally than now prevail
are absolutely necessary to provide more
revenue antlj nj the same time infusc
new life into domestic Industries. Labor
must be more Tally employed before we
can have general prosperity and every.
body knows the penalty that labor has
paid for Democratic tariff legislation. 1t
has suffered far more severely than the
combinations to which the popocrats pro-
fCSS to be so hostile.
The republican party seeks to build up
the home market in the interest of
American producers. The enforced
economy of millions of the people during
the last four years greatly reduced con
sumption in all lines. 1t is estimated
that the annual consumption of wheat
has fallen off since 1892 to the extent of
T0,O0O,OOO bushels annually and all
other products have experienced pro-
portionnte decline. The remedy for this
is to put all the people at work. as they
were five years ago, and in order to do
that there must be restoration, in part
at least. of the economic policy whose
value in promoting prosperity was so
remarkably demonstrated. The verdict
of the country last November
was distinctly in favor of doing
this and the republican party |
would be unfathful to its duty if it did |
not cndeavor to carry out the obvious
and unmistakablc will of the people as
declared but little more than six months
ago. And until it is permitted to put |
it's policy into effect it is unfair and |
unjust to hold the party responsible for
Il continuance of conditions due to demo |
cratic legislation.

THE MoNEr4Rr cnMnISSLnN.

The commission appointed by the pres.
ident under authority of resolution of
| the last congress- which is to go to
| Europc for the purpose of promoting in
tcrnatioual bimetallism. was judiciously
selected. Certainly the friends of silver
can find no reasonable fault with its
| membership.
The resolution authorizing this com
| mission provides that the president may
| invite the nations of Europe to join in
n monetary conference if he shall find
1t cNpCdicnt to do so and these commits
sioncrs will endeavor to ascertain the
sentiment of the European governments
for the guidance of the president. In
this they will have the assistance of our
ambassadors and there ought to be little
difficulty or delay in obtaining from the
governments to which the matter will
he presented an expression of views as
to the dcsirability or eXpedicncy of Il
monetary conference.
1t may be doubted whether the com
mission will find the leading govern
mentS of Europe favorable to another
conference though they may not decline
to be represented in one called
by the United States. The adoption
Of the gold standard by Japan
ana the steps being taken by
Russia to place its currency on n gold
basis are strong influences against the
project of international bimetallism.
Nor is 1t apparent that the sentiment in
favor of such policy has recently been
growing in Europe. Senator Wolcott is
understood to have found n good deal of
1t, but it is probably not so extensive
nor so influential as is commonly sup
posed. 1t has some conspicuous advO-
Gates. but only a few of them are i'll Il
position to exert any influence with their
governments.
In any event. however the republican
party will have fulfilled its pledge to the
country to promote International bi-
metallism. IF anything can be done to
bring about an international arrange
ment, the capable gentlemen appointed
as commissioners. assisted by our am
basSadors, may be depended upon to
accomplish it. The result of their effol Is
will be awaited with great interest

FRAUD SHOULD BE REBTTEED.

The safety and perpetuity of this gov
ernment rests on the ballot box. AS eX-
pressed by Lincoln, this is government
of the people, by the people and for the
people. Take from the people the right
to express their will at the ballot box
and you destroy this government. Re
verse the will of the people as expressed
by their ballots and the same result
must inevitably follow If any person
attempt to destroy the ballots while
being counted in any election booth of
the city, the prompt use of the nearest
telegraph pole would be considered justi-
fable.
Is it any less a crime to overturn the
will of the people than to prevent its full
and true expression? AS the result of
the fall election Senator Evans was sent
to Lincoln to represent the interests of
the city of Omaha by Il most cOmpli-
mentary and overwhelming vote. He re-
ceived in the city of Omaha the largest
vote given to any senator and Il clean
ma jOrity over Mr.. Jeffcoat of Lilo. He
beat Ed Howell in Howells own ward
lis votes. In his own ward he received
Il majority over Howell of 249 votes.
Notwithstanding these indisputable facts
Mr.. Howell, in utter disregard of the
expressed will of the people of the city
Of Omaha, voted TO eXpel Mr. Evans
from the senate and to put in his place
man whom Mr.. Evans had defeated by
over 100 votes.
If this is not anarchy and usurpaton
of power, what can it be called? The
act of Howell in voting to unscat Sena-
tor Evans should be rebulled at the polls
and should receive the condemnation of
every one of the 5000 voters who ut
the last election cast their ballots for
Senator Evans. Any other course is
placing II premium on dishonesty and is
IL blow at the sacred rights of the people.
