COUNCIL BLUFFS, July Especial to
State Register: The committee Of the
fifteenth judicial district of Iowa, com
prising the counties of Audubon, Cass,
Fremont, Mills, Montgomery. Page,
Pottawattamie and Shelby, met here
this afternoon and decided to call the
judicial convention Thursday, August
II, in this city. This date will bring
the judicial convention one week be-
fore the congressional convention,
which has been called for August Is.
Il. B. Swan, of Atlantic, was selected as
temporary chairman. The convention
will nominate three candidates for judi
ges of the district bench and candid.
ate for the Judge of the Supreme Court.
Judge III. Deemer, of Red Oak, will be
renominated by reclamation for the
supreme bench, and it is the general
opinion that the three present judges
of the district bench--Judge A. b.
Thornell, of Sidney; Judge Walter 1.
Smith, of Council Bluffs; and Judge w.
r. Green, of Audubon; will also be ac-
corded denominations. Judge Thor
nell has served three terms, Judge
Smith two terms and Judge Green one.
w. S. Lewis, of Glenwood, has an
nounced himself as candidate, and
his candidacy is being vigorously push.
ed by his friends. AT the time that
Judge Deemer was raisid to the SUI
preme bench, Mr.. Lewis was appointed
by Governor Jackson to fill the vacan-
CIV on the district bench. At the con.
vention following, however, he failed
to secure the nomination.

Mcclure on Congress man.

In its preferences the Observer is
heartily in favor of the Adair county
man, Mr. Hager, who is now serving his
third term. All the arguments which
were employed two years ago, and
which dictated his nomination, are still
in full force and effect. 1t is true that
there are offered certain objections that
were not heard then, but all these are
the entanglements of the burdensome
system of patronage, and should not
have weight in the deliberations of a
convention entrusted with the duty of
choosing a standard bearer.
1t was the deliberate opinion of the
convention three years ago that the
state of Iowa has prolited by the prac-
tice of returning to Congress men who
have served acceptably and honorably
and who have cultivated favorable ac-
quaintance among their colleagues to
the end that the individual districts
might profit by the advantage of CO.
operation. In this action the district
convention recognized the respect that
is paid in our national legislative halls
to seniority of service, custom as firm
ly and irrevocably established as the
righteousness of the Reed rules. AT
ter four years of acceptable service, Mr..
Hager was re-nominated and triumph
antly e.elected. Since that time his
CAREER has been along the same lines as
were already approved, and although
we have recently been engaged in more
stirring events, the Ninth district rep
resentative has been close to the peo-
pie and to the president, upholding the
American flag and the principles for
which it stands. He is where he was
two years ago, except that he has wider
acquaintance and greater influence
with which to promote the interests of
the district. 1t is not necessary to re-
call his strength before the people as
demonstrated when he redeemed the
district from the opposition when it
was well organized under the standard
of one who is deemed the best stumper
IN the state, and all his succeeding cam
paigns have added to his credit as a
campaigner. The complications of the
patronage burden should not overshad-
ow the good record Mr.. Hager has
made as congressman and as cam
paigner. So far as we are advised the
patronage has been distributed consci-
entiously and with an eye to an eff
ficient public service-Fontanelle Oh.
server.

The editor of the Anita Herald is
amusing himself-and some of his
readers, toby writing profoud edi,
torials in favor of free silver coinage
The result of his resoning is "the logic
of bi-metallism leads to hope; the logic
of gold-to destruction" That sounds
as tinkhng as the "cross of gold" met
aphors, but it doesn't prove much. AS
to whether the "logic" of one leads to
hope or destruction may be matter
of opinion.

The Advocate has become IL student

The Advocate has become Il student
of markets. That is good. 1t noticed
we left out wheat from our market re-
port last week and it said we did so
for political effect. This time of year
there is almost no wheat marketed
and it was left out for that reason.
We put it back this week. however.
When little drop occurs in some pro:
duct the Advocate thinks it can see
the gold standard us the cause. 1t will
notice this week a slight rise in hogs,
cattle and oats. OF course no rises are
attributed to the gold standard, only
falls. 1t is interesting to note the
kinks in the chain of reasoning en-
ployed by the free silver advocates.

Col. Henderson in the third, Cousins
in the fifth, Lacey in the sixth, Hep
burn i'll the eighth and Dolliver in the
eleventh have all been re-nominated.
They are all strong men, each credit
to the state. Clark in the first was not
a candidate and Thomas Hedge, an able
lawyer of Burlington, was nominated
in his place. Judge Lot Thomas won
over Perkins in the eleventh. 1t is
said that Curtis will be re.nominated
in the second, photograph in the fourth,
and Hull in the seventh, while Hager
has good prospects the inninth, but is
opposed by some strong men. 1t is
not proving much of year to change
congressman.

Better Pay for Soldiers.

We believe that John Lovelace, of
Cameron trwnship, was in part at least
responsible for the precipitation of the
discussion by the Iowa newspapers of
raising the pay of soldiers at the front.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Lovelace wrote
short, pointed and sensible letter to
the Iowa State Register on the subject
in which he advocated better pay for
the volunteers. The Register published
it on its editorial page and commented
at length on tile subject. Since then
nearly all the daily and weekly papers
in Iowa have expressed their opinions
OH the subject and the result is great
wrong and inequality has been called
to the attention Of all the reading
people of the state, and that means the
big majority OF our people and those
who control affairs. 1t has been held
up to the gaze Of the public that he
who enlists in the service of his country,
gives up private business, leaves his
family and friends far behind and goes
perchance to foreign climes, encounters
deadly diseases as well as faces the
murderous fire or deathly charges of
the enemy, does all this for less money
consideration than he who does the
most common labor. The point is well
taken that fifty cents day is not
enough pecuniary recompenso for such
ervicesurrounded with such peril and
privation. OF course the money re-
muneration is not often the considera-
ton that induce men to enlist in our
army. 1t is oftner the sentiment of
patriotism, but that does not do away
with the fact that they should be rea
sonably paid. The difference between
the pay of the officers and the privates
is too great.

Spanish torpedo boats are not wor-
rying our people so much now as they
were few weeks ago. Our battleships
and cruisers equipped with our superb
ornaments and manned by our men
who are the best educated, most scien-
tifc, the most intelligent, patriotic
and brave, come pretty near being in
vincible. American intelligence and
courage have accomplished wonders
for our navy.

1t now looks like the democratic
party was going to take position of
opposition to acquiring any new ter
ritory. We believe they are arriving
at this position more from tendency
to be "agin" whatever the republican
party favors than from a tendency of
opposition to acquiring any new terri
tory. Their history shows them ready
to acquire territory half century or
so ago. We hope our government will
not be driven to acquiring Cuba.
There are many reasons why we should
not take it. But as to Porto Rico and
the Phillipines-that is different.

Editor Gardner, of the Cass County
Democrat, thinks if Father Ashton, of
the Guthrian, had only known the
democracy of Jackson instead of that
of Cleveland he would not dislike it so.
He claims Cleveland democracy was
not the pure article and the party
should not be judged by it.
