A GOLD DEMOCRAT ON REPUBLIC.
AN DUTY.

In view of the many expressions of
thanks being rendered the gold demo-
Gratis for their action in the late CAM
paign, from President Mckinley down,
it is interesting to note the opinion of
a prominent gold democrat as to the
duty Of republicans in the premises.
Hon. j. Sterling Morton. than whom
no gold democrat in the country lab
ored more valiantly for the defeat of
5 Mr.. Bryan, offers the following as his
idea Of republican duty:
IF the republican party correctly in
terprets the result it will not construe
the election of Mr.. Mckinley as par
tisan victory or as an endorsement of
all republican policies but simply as
an expression of approval of the posi-
ton Of the present administration up
on the one question which all repub-
lican orators and writer's agreed, dur
ing the campaign, was the only ques-
ton at issue, viz. the maintenance of
the gold standard. 1t should act with
moderation in the solution of the vex-
ed problems growing out of the war
with Spain and it could, with profit to
itself and benefit to the country, heed
the sage counsel and advice of party
leaders like Hoar. Reed, Harrison, Nc
Call and Littlefeld, whose efforts in
behalf of republican success were con-
spicuous because of their effective
ness.

GEO. METzGER FOR DEPART.
MENT COMMANDER.

August Wentz. Post No. /, of Daven-
port, presents candidate for depart
ment commander of the Iowa G. A.
r. in the person of Past Post Com
mander Geo. Metzger, man whom
his comrades say has more personal
friends and fewer personal enemies
than almost any other prominent
member of our order" Mr.. Metzger
was for several years custodian of
the state capitol of Des Moines and is
now Postmaster at Davenport.
George Metzger was born in Ger.
many, April 10, 1886; came to Ameri-
ca as a child, in 1850, living in Troy,
New York, until the breaking out of
the war. AS soon as his size and ap-
parent age would permit, he enlisted
in Co. l, 125th New York volunteers,
August 8, 1862, and served in that reg
iment until the end of the war, being
mustered out in Albany, N. Y, on the
7th of July, 1866. During this time
ne took part in every one of the twen-
ty-four battles his regiment was in,
but two, and those occurred while he
was recovering from desperate and al
most fatal wounds received at
Gettysburg. Comrade Metzger came
to Iowa in 1859, and settled in Scott
county, where he has resided ever
since, good citizen, trustworthy
officer and true and loyal comrade.

was undoubtedly the will of the peo.
pie at that time and there is good rea.
son to believe it is their will today. It
was Knocked out of the constitution in
the courts on technicality which in
no way left doubt as to the result of
the vote or the intention of the voters.
Should the anti-saloon forces fail to
secure the insertion of this amend.
ment in the body of the new constit,l-
ton, they should at least secure its
submission to the voters as a separate
proposition along with the constitu.
ton. Anything short of this would be
a gross injustice and reputation of
popular rule by the bosses. 1t is
safe to trust the people at all times.
Even those who would vote against
this amendment ought without word
of objection agree to it's being submit.

be to distrust our form of govern.
inent."
We believe the Journal misappre.
hends the sentiment of the people of
Iowa on the prohibitory question. The
experience of the past eight years has
worked a great change in public senti-
ment in this matter. 1t is greatly to
be hoped that no attempt will be made
by the anti-saloon forces to precipitate
the old prohibition fight in this state
by bringing the prohibitory question
before constitutional convention.
The present law insures prohibition to
those counties where local public SEN
timent is strong enough to enforce the
same. Where it is not strong enough
to do this, it gives the relief which
seems to be essential to good govern.
ment under the present system,
The Journals second suggestion,
that in view of the technical decision
of the supreme court, by which the
original prohibitory amendment was
invalidated, the people should have
another opportunity to vote on it, is
one that cannot be strongly objected
to by anyone who believes in popular
government on any ground other than
that under the existing law it would be
superfluous and unnecessary OF
course the people of Iowa have right
to declare for state wide prohibition if
they want it, but we do not believe
that the sentiment of the state is to-
day in favor of such a proposition.

A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
AND PROHIBITION.

So far as we have seen, the Musca.
tine Journal is the only Iowa newspa-
per that has yet expressed the opinion
that the people of Iowa did wisely in
ordering. a constitutional convention.
The Journal says:
It has been forty-three years since
the constitution was revised by con-
vention. New occasions create new
duties. The present constitution con-
tains some things wholly unsuited to
the present times while there are some
things that should be in it to meet the
wants of these times. The main frame
work of the existing constitution
should however be retained. 1t has
been in it's day and generation an ex.
cellent main-stay and in its fundament-
al features can not be much improved.
The Journal holds consistently to it's
position during the past fifteen years
in favor of a constitutional amendment
prohibiting the manufacture and sale
OF liqutIs. Upon the subject the Jour-
nal says:
The calling of a convention affords
an opportunity for the anti-saloon fore.
es which they will no doubt improve.
Demand should be made of the conyen.
ton to put in the new constitution the
provision adopted in 1882 prohibiting
the making and selling Of liquor as
beverage In the state. This provision

{ APPoRTIoNMENTLAw


Under the present program, which
is now accurately outlined. the new
apportionment law would be passed
before congress adjourns next March.
1t will affect, first of all, the mem
bership of the Fifty-eight Congress,
which will be effected in
November, 1902, but which
does not come INTO existence,
even theoretically, until March 4,1903.
Congress may, If it chooses, reduce
the representation almost to any ae-
gree, but if it attempted such plan
it would be impossible to pass the
bill at the short session, owing to the
opposition it would arouse. and 1t is
highly probable therefore that the ta-
BILE now prepared for the Tribune,
providing for total membership of
1856, will accurately represent the sit
uation after the law in passed.
OF, course, this reapportionment
fixes the representation of the states
in the electoral college, which is al
ways equal to the number of both SEN
ators. and representatives, so that the
work to be done this winter will have
vast influence upon the next presi-
Dental election, and there, as in con-
gress, the advantage is materially on
the side of the republicans.
OF course, in fixing the basis of
representation it must be understood
that no matter what the ratio the
states will gain or lose relatively &C.
cording to their population. If the
total membership were left at 357, as
at present, the same states which now
secure gains would then show no
change, while all the others would be
reduced in corresponding degree.
The only political advantage or disad-
vantage arises from the handling OF
the fractions, which sometimes can
be manipulated to make or lose a
member for some particular state, al
tho the general result is not generally
affected
