CORRECTING ABUSES OF POWER.

The greatest danger 10 which party
of unlimited power IS subjected Is that
which comes from Itself, from the abuse.
CT privileges. The danger from the ops
position party Is not to be compared
with it. just now the republican party
III the nation is put upon its good be-
iavior. 1t has practically unlimited
power and unlimited opportunity. The
democratic party is at sea, and its vari-
Gus elements without conference. 1t Will.
be the Wise exercise OF power and priyl-
lege that will commend the republican
larty to the people, who are the arbl-
tiers. Abuses Will destroy ii, unless ii
louses and purges itself.
Attention is directed to this phase Of
partyism by abuses alleged TO exist in
Indiana. The civil service commission
of that state has called attention to the
favoritism or nepotism exercised by
Senators Beveridge and Fairbanks, re-
rublicans, who have appointed relatives
and favorites to positions contrary to
civil service rules. Inc report nndS that
the recommendation of senators and
representatives of mentor appointments
is almost universally selfish, misleading,
unreliable and vicious 1t is possible
this may be exaggerated, but if partial
ly true it creates a sentiment among the
PEOPLE unfavorable to the party in
power.
Abuses in other directions have come
To the surface nearer home-real abuses
which the dominant party has taken
UP to correct with courage that indi-
Gates firm purpose to succeed. If the
rarty is guided by fidelity to the peo-
PIES interests it will rebuke wrong
doing within Ito ranks and purge itself
of eyil-doers. 1t is much more com
mendable to perform this duty than to
learn the Lessons Of well-doing thru hui
initiating defeat.
II is encouraging to republicans that
the narty standards are still high and

KAY oE HOPE RISING.

1t would be a happy solution of the
South African contest if the truce now
Pending should result in a Termination
of hostilties. The Boer war sits like an
incubus on the British nation. The
sherculean effort is sapping its life's
blood. While in South Africa desolation
and ruin are found in place of peaceful
Boer homes. Deserted by the leader
Who precipitated the conflict, and scat
tered into mountain and desolate re-
eions by British troops, with no hope
held out TO them, and no terms save
those of unconditional surrender, the
Light of the people who We're drawn

Sioux City Journal: The Des Moines
correspondent of the Marshalitown
Times Republican, in reviewing the GU

in regard to Perkins is much kinder
