DEMOCRATIC HESITATION NOW.
[Cedar Rapids Republican,
The democratic party has commenced
to hesitate. 1t is still in favor Of free
silver and all that the Chicago platform
stood for, but 1t is afraid to say 30.
Even in Iowa the party halted at the
once divine ratio. 1t is understood
that the democratic party is still for
16 toll. hut it must notasay 80 in tones
too loud. 1t is understood, they rea-
son, so what is the use Of reiterating II
|everywhere and all the time. But the
party can hardly be stronger in evasion
than 1t was in assertion. Hesitation
and evasion will not appease the silver
fanatics and twill not please men who
believe in sound money. No party ever
won victories by lodging issues. The
democratic party four years ago stood
Iaggressively for an issue. This year II
seems to stand merely for an inordi-
nate desire to win the Offices. The times
have improved SO rapidly under the
stimulus OF the gold standard that the
democratic party, or a large part of IT
no longer has the courage to insist that
free silver is necessary to the indus
trial welfare of the country and the
other part of the democratic party is
equally afraid to give up the Issue
Such Is the state Of doubt and hesita-
ton in which the democratic party
finds itself at the present time. Mere

Victory cannot be won on denuncia.
ltions Of party that has wrought sc
much and so we'll as the republican
party has done during the past three
years. The democratic party must al
least find and state a definite proposed
lremedy for the evils which 1t processes
Ito see and which it processes to desire
Ito, cure.

In 1899 the estimated amount OF reve-

revenue over expenditures OF $4,1S4.24.
But as matter of fact the actual cash
received by the treas urer. including the,
judgment of s13,243.35, was only $685.
1924, which changed an apparent sur
plus of 81. 1s4.11 into a deficit of 50, 1871.
This was caused by the council maxi
ing an overestimate OF receipts and
neglecting to take into consideration
remissions of taxes made by the board
of supervisors, the cost OF collecting
the taxes and number of other items
which experience showed should have
been considered, but We're not.
For 1900 the council estimated the
amount to be realized from the 10-mill
levy at $205, 900, but before passing the
appropriation ordinance deducted
about $4,000 from the estimate for loss
of that amount from the mulct tax.
This was about March 80. 1t was sup
posed at the time that the saloons
would open in few days. but the re-
cent decision by Judge Bishop holding
the petition of consent cannot be can
vassed by the board of supervisors
until June reduces the amount expected
from the saloons SIC, 900 more. To make
the situation still more embarrassing,
1.-THE contingent fund, which in former
years has been placed at $4,000 to $780,
4 900, was pared down to about $4,000 In
order to make provision for the regular
appropriations. This fund will be ex-
shausted before the expiration Of thirty
days by The drain incident to the heavy
eXpences incurred by reason of the ex-
istence of smallpox and one or two
other items. The council is then at the
end of its resources to8meet any unfor-
seen contingency, and so alarming is
1.-the situation that Solicitor Aershon, as
also Treasurer Gross, have made the
statement openly before the council
that there seems to be noaescape from
a deficit of $50. 900 before the end Of the
i fiscal year next April.

Iowa City, May 9.-The May term of
court opened Monday morning with
Judge Wade on the bench. He gave the
following stirring Instructions to the
grand jury with regard to violations of
the mulct law:
AS long as the saloonkeepersc comply
with the law they are to be protected,
but il they violated any provisions of
grand jury to return indictments
against them. In the past few vio-
lators of the mulct law had brought dis
credit upon the city, which had resulted
in an5unwarranted attack upon the city,
and had also invited non-residents TO
commence legal proceedings against the
saloonkeepers. There are now on the
docket twenty flvs suits which, under
the law. must be prosecuted at the ex-
pense of the county, unless the costs can
be collected from the defendants. These
legal actions generally make the county
liable for attorney fees and other costs.
Persons who are paying the mulct Ii
cense. and observe the law, are entitled
to the protection of the law against
those who are their competitors in the
same business. Who do not comply with
the law. Hence, it is the duty of the
grand jury to indict the saloonkeepers
who violate the mulct law, for the fol-
lowing reasons:
First-They should indict because ii
/ is the law. r
Second Because those who do com
i.ply with the law are entitled to protec-
1 ton.
Third Because the city and county
Ishouid be protected from nonresident
prosecutors and other interfering agen-

Evidence Not sufficient to Convict of

Council Bluffs, May 9.The case
against Mrs. B. P. Yates. of Tabor, un-

a charge Of manslaughter, has been
dismissed on motion of the county att

what would probably prove a futile eff

AS will be remembered, Mrs. Yates

named James were indicted early in

of Mrs. Yates daughter, Miss Ethel

Des Moines, May 9.-Judge Prouty in
instructing the grand jury when 1t was
called in the district court Tuesday. laid
particular stress upon the statutes in
regard to trusts or combinations OF any
kind which unlawfully raise the price of
Ordinary necessities on me market.
There is law to the effect that such
action is criminal among the Iowa
statutes, and Judge Prouty directed the
members of the jury to pay particular
attention to any instances OF violation
of 1t to be found in Polk county, and IL
any We're discovered, directed them to
return indictments. In speaking to the
jury, he said that the public press con-
tanned instances Of such trusts and COM
ibinations unlawfully operating in the
county and thruout the country gener-
ally. and gave the jurors special in
distractions to investigate any such prac-
tees within the borders of their juris-
diction and investigate the same thor
oughly.
The grand jury was also instructed in
regard to the mulct law and the law I'M
der which the drug stores in any county
I in Iowa were operated. He particularly
made it plain to the grand jurors that a
drug store could not sell beer legally at
all under the laws, and instructed them
to investigate all such cases as were
brought TO their notice carefully. The
new grand jury as drawn for the May
l term is composed of i. Fl. DeFord, j. G.
