Servia associates himself from the
assassins Of his predecessor on the
throne. by excluding them from the ad-
ministration and by otherwise Furnishing
them, the Mijatoviches are temporarily
prevented from appearing at the Eng
lish court and in official society in
London. and hear that they will take
advantage of the opportunity thus af-
forded to pay their long-projected visit
10 the United States, where the name
of Nine. Mijatovich is already we'll
known as the author Of several books
and numerous magazine articles on Ser

It is probable that ere long fun-hedged
diplomatic relations will be restored be-
tween the courts OF Belgrade and St.

The Field of Politics
Victory in Doubt.

The much discussed Iowa Republican
State convention has been held ard has
promulgated its platform. in anticipation
Of which there has been a great deal OF
interesting discussion. After all it is
rot such a remarkable declaration as the
public generally was led to believe it
would be from all that was said Of It..
L. is indeed difficult 10 say whether the
much talked Of Iowa idea" has tri-
umphed or whether the stand -patters''
have won a victory. The platform is a
harmless instrument, and the friends Of
high protection have nothing TO fear
from it. 1t simply says that from time
TO time the tariff schedules must be
changed Everybody knew that long be-
fore Governor Cummins promulgated his
famous Iowa idea" That is what has
been going on ever since the first tariff
law was enacted. From time to time the
schedules have been changed Nobody
ever expected that the DingIey rates
would continue forever and a day. The
Iowa platform does not make demand as
10 any specific time when they must be
changed. whether upon the convening Of
the next Congress or ten years from that
time 1t simply says from time TO time
to meet varying conditions Of progress.
No demand is made for any immediate
revision Of the tariff or reduction in any
Of the schedules. II does not even say
to whose discretion this matter shall be
left: if left to those who call themselves
the friends Of protection the changes
may be deferred indefinitely; II the mat
ter is for the revisionists TO decide 1t
may be in the next Congress. Governor
Cummins says he approves the platform
in its entirety, but still stands by the
views Re has expressed during the past
two years in favor OF revision.

Goodwood House to Be Closed.

OOOu"OOU MUSE 10 De NlOSeQ.
Goodwood House will be closed during
the Goodwood week this year, and for
the first time in the memory OF the
present generation there will be no
house party during the race week. The
reason given is that the Duke Of Rich
mOnd. being now over eighty-fve years
Of age, is no longer equal TO the fatigue
Of entertaining a large number Of
guests. and will be in Scotland during
the races. But the fact of the matter
is that the duke and the King do not
hit ii off very well together, and shat
while Edward VII was disposed to make
all sorts OF concessions to the duke and
20 humor his whims when he himself
waS still a relatively young man, and
merely heir apparent. he no longer feels
so disposed now that he is King. aud has
become himself what most people would
describe as an old man.
In the past there have been several
unpleasantHesses between the King and
the duke on the subject of playing cards
at Goodwood-a pastime to which the
duke objected-and also with regard 10
the selection of guests, the duke TAX
ing exception to the names of some of
those whom Edward wished to be asked
10 meet him. Indeed, on one occasion,
while still Prince Of Wales. the King
declined at the last moment TO stay at
GoOdwood during the race week, became
the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Willie James,
at West Dean Park, close by, and al
lowed the royal family TO be represented
at Goodwood House during the race
week by his son and daughter-in-law.

The Iowa Idea. "
Scarcely Recognizable When Rewritten
by Senator Allison.

by Senator Allison.
The 'Towa idea seems to have
passed into what Mr. Cleveland once
called 'nnocuous desuetude" Two
years ago, when it was formulated,
and q year ago, when it was en-
phasized by repetition, the Iowa
idea" stood for new and revolu-
tionary tendencies in Republican
policy As framed and defended by
Governor Cummins. it challenged the
sanctity of the Dingley tariff sched-
ules. 1t admitted that those schedules
might be outworn and obsolete L
suggested that they might impose I'M
necessary burdens, that they might be
used to aid and shelter manufactur-
ing monopolies. 1t challenged such a
peversion of the true principles of
protection and boldly called for a re
vision of the Dingley tariff.
As rewritten by Senator Allison for
this years platform the 'Towa idea
has lost its bearings. Last year ex-
Speaker David 3. Henderson, the
chief spokesman in Iowa of stand
pat tariff sentiment, denounced the
Des Moines platform as .'heresy," and
refused a denomination to Congress
on the ground that he could not and
would net indorse the revolutionary
doctrines preached by Governor Cum
minis and his free trade" followers.
This year the most ardent "stand-pat-
tiers" are subscribing enthusiastically
tc Senator Allison's revision of the
tariff resolutions of 1901 and 1902.
The new platform follows the old
one in arguing that tariff rates
should be Just. fair and impartial,
equally opposed TO foreign control
and domestic monopoly, to sectional
discrimination and individual favor
itism," and that they "must from
time to time be changed to meet the
varying conditions incident to the
progress Of our industries and their
changing relations in our foreign and
domestic commerce" 1t also demands
that duties that are too low should
be increased. and duties that are too
high should be reduced"
But there Is not a wordabout rates
that give "a shelter to monopoly
Nor Is there any intimation that the
present Dingley schedules need imme-
date and radical amendment. Tariff
revision Is made, in fact, not the
pressing need of the hour, but the
vague and distant duty of some more
convenient future. 1t is no wonder
that 'stand-patters" like Representa-
tives Cousins and Lacey subscribed
with ardor to Senator Allison's new
version of the "Iowa idea"
Governor Cummins himself still
seeks to assure Us that tariff revision
IS TO figure as a Republican issue in
next years Presidential campaign.
But we are forced to believe that sen
timent in the Republican party is not
yet ripe for anything like a general
scaling Of the Dinglcy schedules
That party's watchword next year is
much less likely to be "Relief to the
overtaxed consumer" than let the
tariff and business conditions which
have adjusted themselves 10 its
schedules severely alone"

Suffrage in Vermont.

The suffrage law of Vermont is arous-
ing much discussion, and some Southern
newspapers. notably the Atlanta Con-
sriu,ion" declare that it would be an
ideal statute for adoption by the States
Of that section for the elimination "
the negro vote.
The Vermont law provides that:
Il. No person is a citizen Of the State
