The Party Of NegatiOn.

;,,,on was composed of democratic
nolitcians and blatherskile Senator
Mason of Illinois, says the Ore
corian Its utter absurdity is set
forth in the declaration of demo-
cratic Congressman Sulzer, that the
defeat of the Beers "will be the
severest blow at republican institu-
! tions that has been struck in CEN
turv" The so-calied Boer "repub-
Tic" is not a "sister republic at
All ; it is a political anachronism; a
medieval republic" which was
nothing but despotic oligarchy.
There is no free speech, or free
press, or unwarped. absolutely I'M
terrified courts; the courts are the
mere creatures of Paul Kruger,
who is the last court OF appeal.
What kind of republic would
the United States have been if
even so great and good man as
George Washington could have
held our supreme court by the neck
and been himself the last court of
appeal, like the divan of the sultan
of Turkey
OF course, intelligent democrats
know better They are only play
ing their old time, stupid, dema-
gogic performance as the party mot
of creation of issues but of mega
ton to everything formulated by
the republican party. The averag.
democrat, except when he is i'm
ported, is pro Boer because he is
anti-expausion. He thinks to con-
fuse the question of expansion in
the Philippines with the question
Of expansion IN South Africa. This
attitude of the democratic party, as
always mere party of malignant
negation, is what has always made
it difficult to capture the country
and impossible to hold its allie
glance for any length of time when
it is at long intervals victorious.
1t is never anything but negation;
it is always purely obstructive,
never intelligentlv and courageous
ly constructive 1t holds out both
hands to anarchism, to state So
cialism, to dishonest money. The
democracy will never eXtinguish
the mission of the republican party
so long as it whitewashes in
dustrial tel rorism and murder in
politics by cultiva;ing an effusive
friendship for organized ruffianisn
and disorganizing because of dis
honest finance.
Just SO long as the democratic
party persists in this rcactionary
attitude, just so long there will b'
a new lease of life to the republi
can party. Republicans of en-
llghtened, independent spirit ar
not afraid to vote the democratic
ticket, but they must be certain
that there is q higher, nobler
more patriotic faith back of it thar
the old sickening, reactionary
Vindictive war on equal rights ant
honest money. To walk back
wards is to be on the side of bar
oarlsm, and impatient as republi
cans may often be of the conduc
OF their party, they are not pre-
pared to leave it for one tina
condones industrial anarchism an,
organized political outrage an
throws up its hat for dishonest an
disastrous finance. The dem
ocratic party must stand for some
thing better than mud mixed wit
blood. which about expresses th
marriage between democrat
nnance and Altgeldian anarchy.

Executive council pisaorees.

Des Moines, Aug. 25.-The state
executive council has struck a new
snag in it's application of the Cheshire
express taxation measure. The mem
bers differ to the meaning of the
new law regarding the kind of So
curities it was originally intended to
subject to taxation. The measure
taken literally provides that all Sc.
curities held outside of Iowa and
used exclusively outside the business
of the company shall be deducted
from the taxable value of the com
panys property. At the council meet.
ing yesterday State Treasurer Her.
riott suggested to the other members
of the council that there must be a
typographical error in the bill, by
which the word within" in the orig.
inal measure had been made to read
without" when copied. as the deduc.
ton of the securities reported out,
side the state and outside the bust
ness of the company would mean a
large reduction in the taxes of these
companies from what they formerly
were when the law was intended to
increase them. The council adjourn.
ed to give Mr.. Herriott chance to
ask the attorney generals opinion on
this point.

Located at Ft. Dodge, Iowa, in 1878,
and was admitted to the bar the same
year. He came into state prominence
in 1884, when he was selected to act
as temporary chairman of the repub-
llcan state convention. He made such
magnificent speech that he was at
once called into the national campaign
and was selected to accompany Mr..
Blaine on his stumping tour thru the
eastern states. In 1886 he was can
didate for congress- and was defeated
by slender majority, by Major A. j.
Holmes. In 1888 he was nominated
for congress just ten years after locat-
ing at Fort Dodge. He was elected
that year by over 5000 majority, and
has been continuously iT congress
since, serving the longest term of any
man from Iowa, excepting Allison and
Henderson. Mr.. Dolliver has long
been a member of the committee on
ways and means, and his arguments in
favor of practical application of the
protective tariff have ranked with the
best arguments ever made on that
question.

NEED FOR PARKS.

We do not believe that any man,
woman or child in Ottumwa will fail
to realize the supreme Importance to
the city Of securing the square of
ground opposite the Washington
street depot, for park purposes. The
people of Ottumwa need parks, they
have needed them for long time,
and now a beginning should be mace
toward building up park system.
Prompt action is necessary to secure
the entire block of ground near the
depot for a park. The large num-
Der of people who use and ap-
preciate the little park by the
court house, should be ample evidence
of the need for breathing places. Day
and night it is crowded with people
who have no other place in which to
take the air. 1t is to be earnestly
hoped by all who have the citys good
at heart that Ottumwa will shortly
be able to point with pride to two
pretty parks; one by the Washing
ton street depot, and the other south
of the Market street bridge. Both
are logical locations, and both offer
excellent natural advantages for dec
orations and identifying.

THE COUNCILS ACTION.

The city council by Thursday eve
ming determining to at once be-
gin condemnation proceedings against
the lot owned by the Anheuser-Busch
Brewing Company, near the Washing
ton street depot, with view of util-
lzlng 1T for park purposes, has IN
doubtedly acted in accordance with
the wishes of majority of the pao-
pie OF Ottumwa. On every hand this
morning were to be heard expressions
OF qualification that the block near
the Washington street depot was to
be made into a beautiful little park,
instead of being allowed to become
the site of a beer storage warehouse.
1t is probable that the Anheuser-
Busch company will sell it's property
to the city without demur, now that
1T knows exactly what the wishes Of
Ottumwa in this matter are, and will
procure as a location for its ware
mouse some one of the half dozen
good sites in the neighborhood
Inc most promising thing about
the matter is the knowledge that def
mite steps are to taken to give OF
tumWa a park sytem, and provide
adequate places of recreation for the
citizens. The strip of land along the
Des Moines river, lying directly south
OF the Market street bridge will al
SO, according to the plans OF the
council, be made into a park, and
these, together with the court house
park, and the larger outlying park,
which Ottumwa hopes to have before
many years, will put this city on a
plane with other towns of its size in
the matter of places of rest and recre-
alton for the people.

Eleventh District Republicanism.

Sac City Sun: There are newspa-
pers which are giving themselves I'M
necessary concern about the eleventh
congressional district. There may be
few differences among some of the
republican politicians, but they are not
serious. The republicans of every
county in the district will be found
alert on election day and the majority
for President Mckinley, Congressman
Thomas and the state ticket, is as
likely to exceed 10000 as to fall below
it. Furthermore, when the republi-
cans of the district are very anxious
to have some particular person in
their midst honored with a nomination
they will express their wish in the
manner that all politicians learn to re-
spect.

THE "PARAMouNT" MAKER.

Bryan has been identified with
three paramount" issues, to which
he has, with all due solemnity, dedicat-
ed his life, and pledged his powers to
engraft upon the national legislation
OF the country.
When In the fifty-second congress,
nine years ago,he was an ardent cham
plon OF free trade, in a speech, long
and brilliant, he declared that "a pro-
tectlVe tariff was conceived in greed
and fashioned in iniquity, false in
economy and the most vicious politi-
cal principle that ever cursed this
country Yet protective tariff bill
was passed by the first congress and ap-
proved by Washington. Bryan further
declared that he would fight the pro-
tective system as long as there was
anything to remedy. The struggle be-
tween protection and free trade went
against him. The people repudiated
free trade and Bryan dropped it. 1t
was not wise to paramount" free
trade when it would not make votes.
-Four years ago, realizing that he
must paramount" something else, he
took up silver and worked it with all
the force of his eloquence. That in
turn was repudiated by the people and
dropped by Bryan. All his wild pro-
phesies have been proven to be false
by the prosperous facts of recent ex-
perience.
This year he concluded to let free
trade alone, touch lightly on free sill
yer and paramount" imperialism, and
he is working it in the same prophet
promising reckless fashion In onno
sing protection he denounced Wash
ington, in advocating free silver he ran
counter to all financial experience, in
opposing expansion he reflects on JEFF
ferson. After few more campaigns
he may possibly get into line and
strike something that is right, but at
present there is a big dent in the pub
lie confidence as to the accuracy of his
prophetic powers and as to his leader
like ability.
