REPAIR THE APPROACHES.

The high waters of the past few days
teach us that more attention should be
PAID to the approaches of Denison. II
almost makes one ashamed to see the
extraordinary efforts which the rail.
roads use to keep their line open
ana then to think that the municipality
and the various townships of the county
will simply suffer from discomfort
rather than to make real determined
effort for permanent roads. Of what
good are our expensive bridges when
the approaches are so low that when
the creek can no longer be forded the
approaches are flooded and the BRIDGES
unusable. In dry weather we could
almost do without bridges and in wet
weather they are entirely beyond US.
Avery few hundred dollars spent on
the approaches to the main BRIDGES on
the roads leading into Denison would
make 1T SO that at no time would the
farmers be unable to get to town
There should at least be one BRIDGE
over each branch of the Boyer so we'll
constructed and with such adequate
approaches that they woald always be
open for travel

HIGHEST SINCE 1851.
Des Moines is at Mercy of High
Water.

The flood situation was intensified
THIS morning when the water. went
over the twenty-foot mark in Des
Molnes. All the levees were broken
over and owing to scarcity of boats
many families find it impossible to get
to dry land. The waterworks COMPANY
gave notice 1t could not hold out if an
other foot was added to the water in
the Coon river and would have to shut
the main. Nearly all the factories in
the city are closed and there is great
nervousness for fear of fire should the
water main be closed. Another span
OF the Great Western bridge went out
this morning. The Coon river rose
three feet ard is two miles wide.

A RESOLUTION OF SYMPATHY

A RESOLUTION OF SYMPATHY
Inc Denlson Bulletin continues to find
fault with the action of the republicans
OF Crawford county relative to the
ludgeship in the recent canvass and
the late district convention. This is
certainly a distressing phase of an
otherwise very agreeable situation. If
there is anything the republicans of
the district, and especially of Crawford
county, desire it is the sanction of the
democratic paper at Denison. They
are real sorry that the democratic
paper can not be fully. wholly aud en-
tlrely pleased: but we are in no posi-
ton to guarantee that they will consult
leaders Of the opposition any more in
the future than in the past. when a
party nomination is to be made. 1t is
very possible that the Bulletin NAV
have occasion for dissent in the future
as IN the past Carroll Herald.

GOOD WORK APPRECIATED

Congressman Conner has arrived
home after faithfully dischargine his
duties as representative from the tenth
district since the session opened last
December. Iowa never had a con-
gresham who looked more closely
after the interests OF his constituents
and the interests of the whole state.
Congressman Conner has entered upon
q career in congress which will rank
with that of any of the ablest members
from this state. If health is spared to
him he has long and useful career

DAWN FOR THE PHILIPPINES.

DAWN FOR THE PHILIPPINES.
Following speedily upon the estab-
lishment of the Cuban republic under
the protection of the United States has
come the declaration of civil govern

ton of all military aud political pris-
oners. Thus in spite of democratic
cries that the administration was in
sincere two long steps have been taken
in the fulflmsnt of republican prom
ises. We do not doubt but that there
will still be trouble in the Philippines
and that if there is our democratic
friends will make the most of it. 1t
would be beyond all human experience
1t some of those released should not
take advantage of their liberty to re-
pay kindness with treachery and to
again stir the natives to futile attempts
at 'insurrection. The issuing of the
the opinion of the military and civil
officers the natives of the islands are
now ready to accept the rue of the
United States and that the process of
friendly assimilation spoken of by Nc

will now begin in earnest. Free
schools will flourish throughout the
islands, the investment of capital will
be safe, labor will receive steady EN-.
p'oyment. the courts will be admins
tered with fairness and the taxes will
be spent,for the good of the people and
not alone for the good of the Office

dawned for the Philippines and in after
years they too will celebrate the Fourth
OF July with the feeling that they have
a personal interest in the day.

The town of Newton is all stirred IN
over the enforcement OF the SUNDAY
law" Few people know how strict
this law is. The istatue reads as fol.
lows:

or to prevent persons travelling or fam
lies emigrating from pursuing their
journey, or keepers of toll bridges, toll
gates and ferrymen from attending the
same.
Just as is the case at Newton this
law is never enforced save through
spite work, when the object is not the
moral reformation of the community
but venting private grudge.
The REVIEW has never favored the
retention of "dead letters" on the
statutes books. There can be no ques.
ton but that in many instances the
Sabbath is wantenly violated. but the
law in question instead of acting
as a deterrent simply furnishes
a weapon for irreverent law breakers
to strike back if they are molested. We
believe the present drastic statute
should be repealed and common sense
and enforceable law enacted in it's stead

WHAT AN IOWAN HAS DONE.
iFrnm the Chicago TrihmneA

The secretary of the treasury has
the happy knack of discovering abuses
and OF roofing them out, no matter
how venerable and how supported they
may be. HE has dared to attack abuses
which have long hourished unchecked
at the port of New York, although by
doing so he runs counter to powerful
politicians who are menaced with the
loss of spoils.
The profitable contract for supplying
the immigrants at Ellis islands with
food and other necessaries has been
awarded to new men who did not have
the backing of the organization 1t
seems that the immigrants have been
fed in quarters filthy beyond descrip-
ton, and have been required to eat
| food without knives or forks. There
is to be no more of this. The present

the New York custom house TO which

ATTEMPT at Burglary.

Someone attempted to burglarize
the Wilson house Tuesday night, but
were seen and scared away. Mr..
Cooks little daughter was able to give
pretty good description OF the burg.
lar and Thursday he was taken in. He

pretty good description of the fellow
from Sioux City afording $50 reward
for him.

Reports received from nearly every
state in the Union show an unusual
large number of fatalities on the
Fourth 1t is estimated that over
1000 were injured and nearly, score
we're killed, Many of the fatalities
were caused by premature explosions,
or cannon crackers. At Council Bluffs
one boy had his face and hands blowed
to pieces, another case in Illinois is
reported where fifteen year old lad
had both eyes put out. Many runaways
were caused by the reckless firing of
crackers. Mrs. j. G. Root, wife of
Sow. Commander Root of Omaha, was
severely injured in runaway. The
toy pistol and cannon should be pro-
hibited.

That the vote against the resolution
was small one. There is no reason
IN the world why the present state ad

blame him for rewarding his party

which cannot be heartily endorsed b,
