SOME IOWA HYPOCRISY.

Although the republicans of Iowa con.
demn In fitting language the disfran.
chisement Of negroes in some southern
states, tits worthy of note that with a
solid republican delegation from that
state in the fifty. sixth congress not a
representative of Iowa republicanism
made an effort to enforce the plain pro-
visions of the fourteenth amendment
covering the very disfranchsmant that
now is complained of. Such republicans
from other states as sought to tax e
action soon made the discovery that the
president had hopes OF building up a
white republican party at the south
after the danger Of negro domination
had been removed and the brethren in
congress we're informed that party poll
cy demanded inaction OH the subject.
1t the republican party through its
highest officials assents to the elimina.
ton of the colored vote at the south in
the hope of protiting by it there would
seem to be good reasons why it should
undertake to make capitalfor itself ou,

and which it certainly expects to turn
to its own advantage. Chicago Chroni.

tom" PHILLIPS.

The Des Moines convention made no
mistake when it nominated I. ]. Phil
lips for its candidate for governor. If
the common people of Iowa, the men
who earn their bread by the sweat of
their brow, the farmers or the
chanic are in earnest in their desire to
better their condition, they will vote for
Tom Phillips for the next governor of
Iowa. He lis a man of the people and
from the people. He is the general
manager Of all the important coal mines
in southern Iowa, and all Iowa is fam
iliar with the fact that owing to his fair,
manly and impartial conduct of these
great institutions no LABOR agitations
has ever disturbed the industries oyer
which he has, control. He is not only
the friend of labor, but an honest ad-
mirer of all the class of men who toll for
their daily bread.
His merit and ability brought him
from the mines to control and operate
these immense institutions. His friend
ship for his fellowmen gathered around
him the most loyal workmen the coun.

ability, his modern and original ideas,
brought the institutions which he con

mayor Ottumwa eyer had. He will
make the best governor that ever sat
in Iowa's executive chair. He is a man

of Iowa in the interest of the great COM

Another instance of the rottenness
of the navy department management
during the Spanish war ,and of the enor-
nous sums that favored parties were
allowed to make by means of the exag-
Grated prices paid for vesselss, appear
from the selling price Of the transports
Terry and MCPHERSON, which were
bought for $3.50, 600, cost $5OO,OOO for
repairs and alterations, and were sold
the other day for less than $4,000 for
the pair. The McPherson was bought
at the beginning of the Spanish war for
100000. She was sold for $lS, 700.
The Terry smaller ship sold for $l9 /,
600. Yachts cost more than this. The
Mop is known to some old travel
ers as the Ocean liner Obham, and the
Terry was Sound steamer called the
Hartford. Considering the market value
of transports, tits obvious that the gov
5ernment paid many times too much for
them. 1t cer tainly- did for most of the
boats that we're taken into service. By
right of eminent domain, which extends
oyer ships in port, it could have taken
these vessels at it's own price, and could
still have been generous, without being
lavish.

EQUAL TAXATION.

The issue in Iowa is now fairly and
plainly joined. The democrats In their
platform declare for "equel rights to all,
special privileges to none." The party
believes that the burdens of taxation
should be born equally by all taxable
property and this is the vital issue in
the present state campaign. The limit
has been reached. The people are now
determined that the practice of taxing
private citizens heavily in order that
wealthy corporations may escape their
just share Of the burdens, shall no long
or prevail in Iowa. The democratic
party Of Iowa stands With the people
on this question. The republican party
in state convention had the opportun.
|ity to make declaration on the subject
of taxation, yet it failed to do it. On
the other hand, instead of taking the
stand in the interest of the people, it
deliberately avoided the subject and en-
dorsed the present and past. record Of
the republican party in favorlng corpos
rations at the expense of the masses
of the people Of the state.
No relief can be expected from party
which is controlled by the wealthy and
powerful corporations. 1t must come
through the medium of the democratic
party. The democrats have given the
people of the state platform on which
every honest man can stand. The re-
publican party has placed itself on rec
ord as in favor of increased taxes for
the farmer, merchant, manufacturer,
and private citizens in general and de-
creased taxes for the corporations. This
is the issue, clearly cut and paramount.
Hon. Thomas j. Phillips, mayor of
the city of Ottumwa, is the standard
bearer of the people who are in favor
of equal taxation and special privileges
to none. He is one of the strongest
and brainiest men in the state, fair
and honorable in every respect. He is
man Of the people, frank, rugged and
outspoken. His opponent is A. B. Cum
minis Of Des Moines, erratic, vacillating,
insincere, polite. The old line repub-
licen papers OF Iowa have told the pub
lie what manner of man he is. They
were warning the people Of the state of
Iowa right up to- the moment Of his
nomination at Cedar Rapids. 1t was
not democratic testimony but regular
and true blue republican testimony.
There is not single one Of those scores
of republican newspapers that will ad
nit to-day that it was lying about A.
B. Cummins. The Iowa voters cannot
go wrong in giving their unqualified
support to the democratic ticket this
fall. .-Keoukuk Constitution Democrat.

The New York Journal reminds us

The New York Journal reminds us of
the fact that the American people were
taxed u cents pound to establish a
Tin plate industry for the benefit Of
American labor. Then the manufactur-
sers brought over Welsh workmen to
make the tin plate, OH tie ground that
American workman did not know how.
Now the Welsh workman are out
on strike, the mills are closed and the
steel trust, which has absorbed the tin
plate trust, is importing plates frop,
Wales to fill its orders. Is it not about
time for that duty to come of?

Democracy of Iowa has again got back

Democracy of Iowa has again got back
to a proper position on the liquor ques.

placed a plain local option plank in the

allo wing liquor to be sold, it is almost
impossible to prevent its sale, and en- :

locality is opposed to having liquor

against licensing 1t, and can enforce the
law because they can elect police officers

General Grant, in his memoirs, crit

was an officer Of the army on the retired
list. If Admiral Evans deserves CEN
sure for his truthful and just censure of
Chandler, who was whllom secretary of

RECONCILIATION.

Emmeluth. on behalf of the finance
committee. said that Hawaii contribut-
ed % per cent of the taxes Of the Ter
rftory, yet wanted as much money as
the entire group of Islands could raise.
Makekau was opposed to reducing
the allowance. as suggested by Emme
Iuth He said the Island Of Oahu had
been allowed to file her report. and the
same had been adopted without any
criticism or objections 1t was making
an unfair distinction to attempt TO re-
duce the allowance Of Hawaii.
Dickey moved that the report be
given TO the committee OF the whole
TO consider. and that the report of the
Big Island be reviewed item by item.
In the interests of the committee
that had fled the report, Kaniho made
an extended speech, in which he re-
viewed the work Of that body. The
gentleman from Kohala said that 1t
was partially to accept the report of
one Island, as had been done in the
case of Oahu. and then, for no just
reason, to reject the report of another
Island. Kaniho said that his sense OF
pride and honor We're hurt by such
treatment Had he known that his
manner, he would have referred the
whole thing to the committee OF the
