THE issues JOINED.

With the close of the state conven-
tions, the naming of the tickets and the
issuance of the platforms the issues of
the next campaign are fairly Joined
and the voters who wish to act intelli-
gently can now proceed at their leisure
to study the issues presented.
Stripping the democratic platform of
its merely denunciatory features and
taking from the republican platform
the bouquet" features, we find that
the points of variance are not many.
There are absolutely no state issues.
There were no state scandals to un-
wreath, no misappropriations of funds,
no great wrongs to right.
This condition is strongly in favor
of the republicans, as the absence OF
specific condemnation is strong tacit
acknowledgement on the part OF demo
Scracy that the republican party has
we'll and faithfully performed its trust
in state affairs.
The points of variance which in turn
become the tissues of the campaign
are practically entirely national.
The parties are in reality one on
the money question.
The republicans endorse the gold
standard, and the democrats practical
ly do the same, for the reason that the
reaffirmation of free silver Was inten-
tionally omitted. and omitted for the
express purpose of renouncing that
doctrine. We believe no democrat
will contest this argument, else why

and the sound money men at the re.
%cent democratic convention?

HEALY FOR FEDERAL JUDGE

1t is announced that Judge Shiras
will retire from the federal bench in
November, and already there are nu-
merous candidates in the field for the
appointment. 1t is customary fol the
President to act upon the advice of the
Congressional delegation representing
the federal judicial district
In the caucus which will practically
decide the appointment therefore, there
will be Senators Allison and Dolliver,
and Congressman Cousins, Birksall,
Harigen, Conner and Thomas.
Each congressional district has one
or more candidates in the field and the
contest is apt to be stubborn one. The
| three most prominent men mentioned,
are Dawley of the 9Th district, Healy
of the 10th, and Wright of the nth,
Aside from the fact that he appeals
to us from District considerations, we
are glad to endorse the candidacy Of
Senator Healy. He is a young man O.
most exceptional ability; a great law
yer; broad minded; independent il
thought and action, and thorough,
and impeachably honest. Personally
he is one of the most winning and pop
ular figures in Western Iowa, and it il
with pleasure that we give him our un
qualified support. The bar of this coun
ty has almost unanimously endorsed
him, and Judge Conner is taking al
active part in his campaign.
We hope that Mr. Healy may be ap
pointed. He is of such age that h
would occupy the bench for many years
constantly adding to his store of wis
dom and experience. His sympathie
are more with the masses than the SC
called classes, and he would in ever
way make an ideal federal Judge.

Mr.. Burton on the Ohio.

The Hon. THEODORE f. BURTON,
chairman of the Rivers and Harbors
Committee, has been inspecting foreign
waters. For four months he watched
the Elbe, the Rhine, the Danube and the
volra. Then he returned to the United
States with new ardor for widening,
deepening and spending. Last week
he dictated an interview in which he
declared his intention Of taking a trip
down the Ohio and his belief that the
customary river and harbor approprla-
ton for past years-$2O 100000 to s25,-
GOO ooO-will not meet the increasing
demands.
No appropriation will meet the in
creasing demands. The increase OF the
appropriations may be by arithmetical
progression. That of the demands will
be by geometrical progression.
MIR. BURTON very properly purposes
to pay his own way on his excursion
down the Ohio. There can be no OBJ
jections to his studying Congressional
hydatology at his own expense.

that, on the whole, water runs down hill.

ity that gets into the habit OF making

DR.. Greers Election As Bishop Pronounced
Null and Void.

From me Lirino Church. organ OF ne Rioh Church
pdrfy.
It is distinctly provided in Title l.. canon TO-
section s. that Before the election OF Bishop
Coadjutor for the reason Of extent OF diocese, the
consent OF the General Convention. or. during the
recess thereof, the consent OF majority OF the
Bishops and OF the several standing committees
must be had and obtained" before the election can
take place.
The only event In which diocese is permitted BY
our canons To elect a Bishop Coadiutor without
first asking and receiving this consent, Is when the
election is by Of old age or other permanent
cause of nnrm,y" on the part Of the Bishop II
such Is the cause for the present election OF Bishop
CoadJutor IT is neither shown in the Bishops con
sent TO the election in the resolution to elect nor
80 far as we can learn. In the accompanying debate
Certainly the record does not show 10. - II should
II that were the provision under which the election
was held
We can appreciate the necessity for additional
episcopal service In diocese whose chief city Is
as Bishop Potter says and has for some time been,
growing at the rate OF 900 year" This need
arises however not from the old age or other per
mancp, cause OF lnfrmity" OF the Bishop. but from
the unwieldy extent Of the diocese. No statement
OF his age or health. no physicians certificate. no
allusion, however remote. was made by the blshop
which could indicate any such personal disability.
There was absolutely no evidence presented. so far
AZ we can learn. tending 10 establish such condi
ton: and there is every evidence. from the discus
sons Of the past two years, to show that the need
for Bishop Coadjutor Is due TO the extent OF the
work rather than to the physical condition OF the
Diocesan
We fear. therefore that the election of Or. Greer
last week is absolutely null and void; that II Is di
rectly contrary TO the canons Of General Conven
ton: that the convention was not competent ia
proceed to the election OF a Bishop Coadjntor
that the standing committees ough, not to confirm
such an uncanonical election. that the Bishops
ought not to assent TO 1t and that the Presiding
Bshop cannot. under the canons. take order for hi.
consecraton. We trust Il Is not necessary for US
20 say that no question as the personality OF the
Bishop elect enters into this consideration. The
election of the Rev John W. Chapman as Mission
airy Bishop OF ALASKA was some years ago set aside
by the refusal OF standing committees TO CONFIRM
II for far less reason.

lombia. Brazil. Argentine, Natal. India,
and Newfoundland. Shipments OF other
weeks to these and to other lands show
that the cheerful tick of the Yankee time
piece is familiar sound in nearly every
country OF the globe. The exasperat-
ing shrek Of the American alarm clock
breaks the stiffness Of the morning from
the equator to the frozen pole, and men
Of all races, colors and tongues hurl
their anathemas at it in their respective
languages, even though they hurl moth
ing more weighty.
Our export of watches is close upon
the heels of the clock trade, and shows
an increase which gives fair assurance
of still greater increase. The export OF
watches in 1898 was valued ut $24l, 7Ss.
In 1902 it had risen to the sum Of $685.
100. The fact that about three-fifths OF
the watch exports Of 1902 went to Canada
is only a fair argument OF very ex-
tensive trade awaiting our cultivation
elsewhere. During that year Canada
purchased S57s,OOO worth Of American
watches. From England, to whom she
gave a preferential tariff rate, Canada
bought during the same year $4,000
worth. Germany and Switzerland sold
on equal tariff terms with the United
States. The German sales were Sl2,7oO
and the Swiss $l2s,55O Canada bought
last wear si9s 900 worth OF American
clocks, 81, $50 worth of English clocks, and
5000 worth of French, chiefly in marble
cases, French specially.
We quote these Canadian figures be-
cause they exhibit the ability OF the
American product to meet the COMPETE
ton which it has to face in foreign mar
kets. That which is done in Canada can
be done elsewhere by the expenditure OF
a modicum of trade energy. The United
States can and should make the time
pieces Of the world.

An Anglican Catholic" clergyman writes
a Church paper Of London that during the
negotiations before the Boer war at least
two requests were made to the Bishops TO
order public prayers for the nations guid-
ance. but nothing was DONE He expresses
the hope that another mistake Will not pe
made negecting to order "a day OF prayer
in the matter Of the critical state OF analrs
in the Near Fast" The Bishop OF Worcester
1t seems, was so greatly impressed with the
need now, in view OF the Balkan situation
that he called -all Christians" to service
Of intercession in an Anglican church at
Birmingham, and at his request to his clergy
public prayer for the same object was mace
throughout the Worcester diocese on
Sunday in September Three other English
Bishops united with the Bishop Of Worcester
in appealing to the Government and the
Christian Powers generally to take COM
bined action to protect the Christians IN
Macedonia. Apparently. their appeal mas

Like the sound Of the shot fired by the
"embattled farmers" at Lexington, the
tick of the Yankee clock is now heard
round the world" Our clock export
trade Is worth about 81 600 600 a year
Unfortunately, its volume shows no very
great increase during the last ten years
In 1893 it was 1862 ,423 In 1902 it shows
rs 81 1881, falling off of $50 900 from
the figures OF 1901.
The clocks exported are generally OF an
inexpen i've class, aud u million dollars

is indicated by the report of single

endeavors squarely to meet. He pro-
poses, he says, TO impose duty Of two
shillings quarter OH foreign wheat (but
no duty on colonial wheaD and q some
what larger duty on foreign hour; ana
he does not deny that these duties Will
add something. though he thinks but
very little. to the price of loaf OF bread.
He proposes also, to impose a tax OF D
per cent. od volorem on foreign meat ana
dairy produce colonial produce OF
similar kind being free from duty, but
from this tax he exempts bacon, which
constitutes the animal food Of the poor
est part of the British population.
We should note that, for like reason
maize is exempted from the duty on
grain. Now, the slight increase in the
cost of wheat bread, and OF all animal
food except bacon. Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN
proposes to offset by a material reduc-
ton Of the existing duties on sugar, tea
coffee and cocoa, 80 that, AZ he figures,
the net result OF the artisans and agri-
cultural laborer's weekly outlay for food
purposes will positively be small saving
instead of small increment. This ia the
fundamental ground on which he COM
mends his project to the working masses
of Great Britain. He also makes bid
for the support of British manufacturers
by Offering to assure to them an abso-
lutte control OF their home market, by
imposing duties averaging 10 per cent
ad rolorem on all imported manufact-
ures.
II the last named proposal stood alone
it would be open to no objection from
the American point Of Wow. As for the
proposal to offset the new duties on wheat
and animal products by reduction OF
the existing duties on sugar tea, coffee
and cocoa, Sir HENRY CAMPBELL-BAN-
HERMAN points out that the toiling mil
lions are already entitled to remission
of the latter duties, so far "a these were
imposed or augmented in order that they
might contribute toward the expenses
Of the South African war. The fatal
objection, however, to duty OF two
shillings a quarter on wheat is that Par
lament, once having renowned the free
trade principle. would not stop short at
so small duty. A duty Of two shillings
a quarter on wheat would benefit Cana
dian wheat growers but little, and Brit
ish wheat growers not at all. British
wheat growers would justly demand
that, if the fiscal policy Of the United
Kingdom was to be revolutionized for
the sake Of distant colonials, their own
vital interests should receive adequate
| protection.
That is the rock on which Mr.. CHAM
| BERLAIN's scheme seems likely to be
| wrecked.
