ROCK ISLAND REORGANIZATION.

Governor Cunln1ins is justified in
Capitalization scheme of the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific road, whether he
finds cause for action or not. As chief
executive of the state he finds it part
of his duty to see that law is enforced.
A Rock Island official. however, is
quoted by the New York Tribune of
that there is any point at which our
incorporation in >the state of Iowa can
be attacked. The incorporation papers
We're drawn up With due regard for the
laws of that state, and we believe that
they will hold in law" 1t is fair to as
sumo that men who have such enor-
nous interests at stake would go over
the ground carefully before taking
step that would involve them In grave
legal difficulty.
The reorganization scheme is some
what complex. and it was possibly
framed to avoid legal assaults. To I'M
derstand the situation thoroughly it
should be stated that the present Chi
caso, Rock Island g. Pacific Company
has a capital stock of $4,000 0O and
its stock has been selling close to 20O
or about twice its face value, showing
that investors value it at about twice
its face.
Under the reorganization two new
corporations have been formed, the
Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific Railroad
Company (of Iowa), with authorized
securities consisting of S125,O0O, 900
stock and s75.000,00O per cent gold
bonds maturing in 2O02: and the Rock
Island Company (of New Jersey) with
an authorized capital stock of $150,0OO, |
600, of which s54, 1000 900 is non-cumula-
tive preferred stock and $96,0oO0OO is |
common stock.
The Rock Island Company is to be-
come the ultimate owner of the present |
railway company, thru a rather COM
pick interchange of the securities of the
three corporations. The circular letter
issued recently to the shareholders
of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
Railway Company contains the terms
on which the new Chicago, Rock Island
Pacific Railroad Company offers to
purchase their stock, the proposition
being to give in exchange for each
share (par value 5000 of the present
stock 500 in the railroad company's A
per cent gold bonds and $50 in preferred
stock and 500 in common stock of the

The IOWA PLATFORM.
New York Tribune. !

New OIk IllDune.J
We can not take as altogether serious
the effort made to read an aarmist and
revolutionary meaning into the reci-
procity and tariff revision clauses of
the platform adopted on Wednesday by
the Iowa republicans. Prompted by
the spectacle of party stress and dis
cord which a neighboring republican
commonwealth unhappily presents, a
hasty or hostile critic might easily be
led to picture the Iowa declarations as
Il triumph of radical over moderate
opinion, of newer over older party
leadership. The parallel, tho tempting.
is, however, neither plausible nor in
genious. Iowa is in no sense in the
throes of political convulsion: and
tho the election of A. b. Cummins "a
year ago as governor undoubtedly
marked the entrance of a new and Wig

THE CONGRESSIONAL ALTERNATIVE.

a weeks retrospect upon the action
of the republican state convention in
adopting fearless and uninstakable
tariff and monopoly expression has
developed AN almost universal com
mendation of the Iowa platform. So
wide has been the criticism extending
from Minneapolis to Pittsburg and New
York City and so general has been the
favorable opinion that the conclusion
is forced that the country at large is in
harmony with Iowa republicanism in
favor of tariff changes at the hands of
the friends of protection.
In the convention there was not a
voice raised against the platform after
it was reported from the committee and
its adoption was accompanied by such
enthusiasm in the convention hall that

difficulty in Interpreting the voice of

that several of our ablest members of

New Ways Of Making Life Easy.

statement that. in time. farming would become
q sedentary occupation if farm machinery con-
tinued to improve at the same rate as In the
last decade.
With equal truth it might be said that the
drudgery of homework will soon be thing OF

find new ways of making life easy and pleasant.

Duke to those OF his church who are in
clined to complain in advance of the
treatment of the friars in the Phillip
| pines. The whole aim of our govern
ment in dealing with this question is ia
bring about the pacification of the pc
pie, and it was and is still believed that
only by the removal of the friars from

been active can this be done: and ne
gotiations entered into with the vatican
were to bring about this purpose. While
an agreement was not reached, the
Headers of the church are convinced
that our government will deal with and
solve the question in the utmost spirit
of fairness.
Archbishop Ireland asks the church
to refrain from unwise agitation of the
subject. He asks. who is it that COM

ereign pope nor any OF the ecclesiasti-
cal authorities in the dependencies, nor
the archbishops in this country These
and others who are advised are willing
to entrust these interests to those in
authority in our nation and who have
shown themselves to be imbued with
the spirit of justice.
There is a tone of loyalty in Arch
bishop Ireland's utterances that is re-
assuring. He declares that The Cath

the spirit of the country and with a
deep love for its welfare. To be one

This ought to be understood and en-
phasized everywhere. Loyalty to the
nation is in fact basic principle upon
which all societies, whether religious
or secular, will find it necessary to build
in order to reach the highest plane.
