In the populist platform adopted ut
Huron, according to the files in this
Office, last July there were but three
planks which reicred to state matters.
They are as follows:
We denOunce the republican state adminstra-
tiOn for its utterly extrayagant and incapable
administration Of state affairs and the present
policy OF admin iStering our state department by
proxy and demand that all state officials shall Ii,
Che future attend to their departmental bush
We demand the enactment of the Iowa rail-
e & SS %ses WAS n !" ss
last legislature and known as the Wheeler bill.
We indorse the work OF Senator }. II. Kyle,
Ia consequence OF the first plank the
pnpnlists in their actions at Pierre
muraged to squaEier more than the
republicans.
Tue demand for the enactment Of a
railroad law was alsoin the republican
platform and the measure passed by
= unanimous vote. Hence was not a
political issue.
The other plank ENDORSING Senator J.
81. Kyle received the rankest black
eye ever known in the political history
Of tho state.
Thus we see that but three planks in
this great platform refer to state mat
4ers-one was without political issue,
and the other two were traitorously
violated by the pops. The cry OF
Senator Grill "Populist Promises Re-
deemedn Is but blind.

MANY THINK

when the Creator said to woman,
I'm sorrow shalt thou bring forth
children" that a curse was pro-
nounced against the human race,
but the JOY felt by every Mother
when she first presses TO her heart
her babe, proves the contrary.
Danger and suffering Turk in
the pathway of the Expectant
Mother, and should be avoided,
that she may reach the hour when
the hope of her heart is to be real
lied, in full vigor and strength.
