IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Cedar Rapids Republican: Some Chris
ttan ministers are now denouncing Governor
Drake for the notoriety there is in it, but
whenever they want to raise a good sized
fund for some purpose, be sure they will
count him In and at the head Of the list.
Davenport Republican: For a man not in
the best of physical health and at times
confined to his room Congressman Henderson
of the Third district has succeeded pretty
well in rewarding his friends. 1t is an
nounced that he has fixed 1876 republicans in
his district out of a possible 1S7 with post
offices. Nobody has thought of charging
Colonel Henderson with neglect in the mat
ter of looking after the plums.
Des Moines Leader: The whole state is
pleased over the evidence of excellent growth
indicated by the State university. The last
legislature adopted a more liberal policy
toward the institution, and it will not be
long until Iowa's university will rank with
the great institutions at Madison, Ann Arbor
and Minneapolis. Too long has the univer-
sity been a victim of a narrow and illiberal
policy.
Des Moines Capital: Major E. II. Conger
will depart for Washington very soon. He
has a month from the time OF his confirmation
to sail from America for his post of duty.
He will be in Washington about two weeks,
posting up on Brazilian affairs and events
that have TRANSFERRED since he was in Brazil
before. The major has the pleasant knowl-
edge that all Americans who had business
IN Brazil during his former term were strong
in support Of his denomination.
Dubuque Times: Governor Drake is APP
parently the choice of the republican party
for denomination. Possibly some opposition
to him may develop before the day of hold
ing the convention, August Is. Aside from
the custom of renominating the governor,
the administration of Governor Drake Is not
open to criticism. Doubtless he has made
mistakes-not serious ones-but not such as
affect adversely any public interest. 1t would
be beyond human possibility to find a man
who is infallible till the impossible in human
affairs comes to pass,
Sioux City fines: In Newhall's Sketches
of Iowa." published in 1S41, appears the fol-
lowing significant paragraph about the posi-
bility of the sugar beet industry in the
state: The cultivation of the sugar beet
root, and the manufacture of the sugar, can,
without doubt be carried on advantageously
in Iowa. A gentleman who has travelled
extensively in France and had frequent OPP
portunities of examining personally the soil
on which the root is grown, considers the
prairies of Illinois and Iowa much superior

pOLICY or THE LIBERALS.

The interview with the Spanish liberal
leader, Sagasta. in regard to the policy
Of his party in the event of a liberal
ministry being formed, will cause Il
very general hope that the liberals will
be given an opportunity to experiment
with their plan for Cuban paciication
and colonial government. There is
no reason to doubt that Sagasta and
his adherents are entirely sincere in
their desire to institute n more liberal
political system in the Spanish col
onics. They fully understand that there
is III hope of Spain retaining possession
of these colonies by any other course
and they do not hesitate to admit this.
They realiZe, what the conservatives ap.
parently do not, that severity and re-
preston are not the best means by
which to secure the loyalty of Spanish
subjects, at any rate such of them as
are under the immediate influence of n
wholly different system of government.
Sagasta says that the liberals would 20
much farther in the direction of home
rule for Cuba and Porto Rico than the
'iN'N' ' h'N's 'pNb Il IlbiiliSt.
however. is somewhat vague and I'M
satisfactory in view of the fact that
there has been hardly any semblance of
home rule in those islands. A policy
that would be n very great Improvement
upon what has been might still fall
far short of what it should be. or what
would satisfy the Cuban people. Those
who are i'll instruction against Spanish
authority in Cuba have become so thor
oughly imbued with the spirit of indie
pendcnce that their pa%cihcation will not
be effected by any makeshift or half
way measures of reform.
Sagasta shows that the liberal party
is quite as obstinate as the conserva-
tives in its opposition to any foreign
interference, by which is meant any
interference on the part of the United
states. In the event of the liberals
coming into power, therefore. our gov
rhmen may expect no more considera-
ton for any offer it should make of it's
friendly offices to settle the Cuban con
dict than such offer has received from
inc conservatives Perhaps this is pa
%triotic, but it is quite possible and even
probable that Spain will sooner or later
conclude that the restoration of peace
III Cuba Is not possible without the good
Offices OF the United States. But Mt nil
events 1t is to be hoped that the Spanish
liberals will be given the opportunity
10 try what their policy can accomplish
and If they should be they can be as
Snred that this government will put no
obstacle in their way.

Russians Industrial Awakening.


The Russian government has sent a COM

report upoa the uses and advantages OF our
agricultural implements and machinery. In
Prussia, as in the United States, agriculture
IS the dominating industry The two coun-
tr.eo must always be rivals in supplying the
needs of other nations who depend in part
upon imports of food supplies. In this coun-
try great advantages have been obtained
through the use of improved machinery.
