THE IOWA PLATFORM.
~0~~~~~
[McGregor News. /


1t is not altogether easy to BIZ
patient with the political critics who
try to hide their chagrin behind 3
pretense that the resolutions OF tbs
Iowa convention are crooked and am.
biguous. They know that party
platform ought to be, as the Iowa plat
form is, Il firm declaration of princi-
pies, not precise formula of legisla-
ton.
They hoped to see republicans fall
ing into disagreement and confusion
instead, they see them increasingly
united and confident. 1t is painful
experience, but they have to bear 1t
They are entitled to the privilege OF
making a wry face but misrepresenta-
ton will not help. The inspired writer's
of molly writ did not succeed in writing
anything that all people view alike.
Don't hurry, but don't stand pat and
you have the key to the Iowa situation
and the republican platform.
The line of cleavage is now between
the republicans and the democrats and
not between opposing camps of repub-
licans. The plank actually adopted
must be accepted as proof that there is
a strong tariff revision sentiment in
Iowa to which the state party man
ayers have to respond.

THE INTELLIGENT SNAKE.
New York Trihune.l

The naturalist John Burroughs is
opposed to nature books that treat OF
animals too Observation-Disclosures impute
to animals sentiments Of love, pity
tenderness and refinement.
Sometimes in reading on of these
nature stories am reminded" Mr. Bur-
roughs said one day, of the story OF
the intelligent copperhead. This story
is quite as true as many that are i'm
plicitly credited.
According to it, there was a man
who had the habit of teasing copper
heads. He would find copperhead S
hole, and then he would wait beside it
till the snake returned--till it had got
so far into the hole that only the end
of its tail protruded. This he would
seize, and with a quick movement he
would throw the snake twenty or thir-
ty feet away.
"One day the man did this to cop
perhead of unusual intelligence. The
snake on alighting did not make for its
hole again Immediately, as the others
had always done; but it lay still and
regarded it's tormentor thinking. For
a long while it thought. Then, very
slowly. it approached the hole turned
around and entered Northumberland
tail first-sneering slightly at the man
whom it had thus duped."

In New South Wales dwells a witty
farmer who inherited from his father
the patronymic of Stealing" The
surname carries a nasty light handed
suggestion, and so our farmer hats de-
termined to soften it for his progeny.
His daughter has just been christened,
and he got around the surname by
giving her the Christian name of
Worth. Worth Stealing; but surely
that is clearly an encouragement of
kidnapping.

A case came to light that for persist

PENSIONS.
[Gate City.1

Many will doubtless be surprised to
learn that the government is still pay
ing pensions to four widows and four
daughters of pensioners of the revolu-
tionary war. which ended nearly 12O
years ago. OF the war of 1912 there Is
only one survivor, but 1877 widows of
his comrades are getting quarterly pen
sion checks. There are 6.S2S Mexican
war pensioners, living. and the widows
of S,017 are drawing pensions on that
account. The number of civil war pen
sioners year ago was 999,446. With
these figures in mind some one has fig
ured out that this country will be pay
ing for the liberation of Cuba for 147
years to come.

THE POPE AND HIS SUCCESSOR,

After more than twenty-six years of
pontifcal supremacy the pope is dying
like Christian philosopher. Not since
the world watched at McKinley's bed
slice has the illness Of a public man at
tracted such universal attention. AS
!, IN McKinley's case, the official promi-
hence OF the dying man is overshad-
owed by his Christian character and
quiet resignation TO the common fate
1t is not every great man who can die
greatly.
Aside from that large body of COM
municants to whom the pope's demise
means the loss Of the sovereign pontiff
OF Its church there is a widespread
feeling of sympathy and interest
awakened by the last Illness of
Leo XIII. The manner of his
death Is recognized as uncommon
With complete foreknowledge of i'm
pending dissolution he retains his In
terest IN affairs of this world. He is
glad to learn of the universal sympathy
accorded him.. He is interested in the
possible changes of church policy that
may follow him. The sympathy of the
world is not more with the supreme
pcntiff than with the kindly and gentle
old man who has gathered the draperies
of his couch about him to await death
with Christian philosophy and forth
tude.
In church circles his probable sue.
cessor is the question CT the. hour.

Leader Predicts
Industrial War

Chicago, April Crank Buchanan
who is TO lead the bridge and iron work
ers in their struggle with the United
States Steel corporation, predicted a
general labor war throughout the coun-
try in an address made last night be-
foce the Chicago Federation of Labor.
Il hope and expect that labor organ
izations of the country will soon con-
centrate an open war against the rap
idly growing combinations of capital, >"
he said. "The American Bridge COM
pany is trying to break up our nation
al union. From press reports builders
of iron and steel work have formed an
organization to rectify certain evils,
What these evils are l do not know,
unless they consist of demands for
higher pay AMI better working condi-
tions.
The struggle we are waging against
the bridge company is likely TO spread
1t is possible We will call out allour
men on construction work, and If We
are forced to do so then We will tie
up the industry and force an enormous
number of men out Of work"
Mr.. Buchanan is in Chicago to look
after the western end Of the strike and
will return to New York within a few
days, for the general strike win be
managed from that city.

Parkhurst on
Negro Servitude

New York, April 6.--The Rev, Chas.
II, parkhurst In his sermon yesterday
touched upon one phase Of the negro
question. Compulsory obedience, he
said. Is not the ideal form, but ideal
obedience has TO be reached through Il
preliminary stage Of compulsion. Con-
tinuing he said.
1T Is well for the negroes In the
south, that not being competent to be
law for themselves, they had mast
ers that were law to them.
They ought 10 be thankful. on the
whole, that the institution existed, and
such OF them as yet are not drawn
under any other system of governance
would be better off If the institution
stlll existed.
1T was slavery, to be sure, and as
such was irksome and grinding, but
slavery in Its essence is only another
name for subsection TO mastery that
is purely external mastery; and un-
I'll q man can master himself he Is
exceedingly unfortunate not to have
some sort Of a slave master to master
him.
