Iowa Republicans.
MAX.

An Iowa Republican convention is
interesting to the brethren in other
states, because the party has way of
backing up its nominations at the polls
with vigor that makes the Demo-
cratic ticket nearly negligible guam
tity, and because the Hawkeye state,
like the Buckeye state, has an embar-
RAISING richness of great men. The
convention that named National Com
mitteeman A. b. Cummins of Des
Moines for governor yesterday, may
for all practical purposes, be regarded
as the election itself, for the present
incumbent Governor Shaw, had $4,000
votes to spare in 1899, and Mckinley
led Bryan in the state by 65,000 in
1896 and $4,000 in 1900.
Perhaps the Republicans of Iowa
somewhat overdo the matter in the
size of their majorities. AS Senator
Thurston of Nebraska said yesterday,
1T is the three great and sometimes
doubtful states of Indiana, Ohio and
New York that are likely to exert the
strongest influence in the next nadon'
al convention There is nothing
doubtful about Iowa; but the promi-
nence of her Republican chieftains
gives them a personal claim to the con-
sideration of the party elsewhere. Sen
ators Allison and Dolliver have both
been mentioned" for the presidency,
although Allison avows he is too old,
and although some say that Dolliyer
is bit too young. Speaker Hender-
son is an Iowan, and so, to be sure, is
Minister Conger, who was talked or
for governor in the spring, but who
somehow did not develop in the can
yass. Most conspicuous of all Iowa Re-
publican availabilities is Governor Les
lie NJ Shaw himself, who was not
quite nominated for the presidency
-----------.------i, s--st 10 the
| fore as IA national leader of renown."
OF the Republican state platform,
that may be said which may be said OF
all Republican state platforms this
year. 1t puts n good deal of emphasis
on national questions which indeed are
as agreeable subjects for Republican
conventions to approach as they are
disagreeable for Democratic conven-
tioBs. The most significant plank is
that calling for reciprocity and plac-
ing the party in the state sQuarely be
hind the President. Mr.. Thurston says
he has not discovered any such siren
uous demand in the West for wider
reciprocity as is reported TO exist"
We refer him to the eastern bank of
the Missouri.-Mail and Express.

A Commoner party

There will be n great gathering up of
the political odds and ends which have
been bestirriug themselves in one state
or another when the convention that is
to form "Commoner'' or columbian"
party meets at Kansas City in Sep
tember. If number of organizations
and variety of creods which are to Co
alesce in n single national party and a
single declaration of faith count for
anything it will be quite n showing.
The two brands of Populists, the Pub
lie Ownership party of st. Louis, the
newly formed Bryan Democracy of
Ohio-eight strong-the Silver Repub-
licans of the mountain states, the Sin
gle Takers and the Socialist party just
launched at indianapolis, are all ex-
pected to pool their issues. Golden
Rule Jones, Lentz Debs, De Leon and
every other wearer of political motley
are expected to be present.
1t is called n Bryan party, although
Bryan disclaimed paternity of the
third party scheme when it was
broached in June in Missouri, or fra
ternity with the little band of Ohio

his leg to keep it from running away.
When he woke in the morning he
found that the donkey had wandered
away to a considerable distance, and
had dragged him along. Judging from
our own experience of his sleeping
powers, wa do not think the story in

Some "soulless corporations" OF the
wild West" have lately given prac-
tical demonstration in good morals. An
attempt was made in Omaha to con-
duct Sunday exhibitions. 1t came to
grief because the railroads centering
there refused to increase the Sunday
work OF their employees. 1t is their
policy to decrease rather than increase
the number of Sunday trains. The wise
among even the irreligious admit that
the weekly rest day is profitable both
for capital and for labor.
