DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION
AT DIES MONIES JUNE IL.

At meeting of the members of the
Democratic State Central Committee at
Des Moines last Friday, it was decided
to hold the state convention at Des
Moines on Wednesday June 18th. Elk.
MayorJ. H. Quick, of Sioux City, was
chosen by unanimous vote as temper.
airy chairman, and A. ]. Hogan, of
Iowa City, temporary secretary. MIR.
Quick was chosen as temporary chair
man in the interest of harmony, as he
does not represent either the radical
| silver element of the party or the radi-
cal gold element. His record shows
that he has voted for every democratic
state platform that was adopted since
1896, including the platform of last
year, which was opposed by the Kansas
City platform element. He believes in
harmonizing the different factions in
the party, and when questioned in re.
gard to bis position said: u believe
there are plenty of issues to be found in
conditions that confront US at present
In taking these up we will face forward
rather than backwards, and if we as
sumo this attitude there will be nc
question of party harmony"
At the meeting of the committe it was
also decided that the original plan o.
making the Jefferson banquet to be
held in Des Moines a silver affair had
been abandoned and that the banquet
would be a genuine democratic love
feast, with all factienalism banished
and the indications are that it will be 6
grand success.

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN?

William E. Curtis, the Chicago Rec
ord Herald correspondent, furnishes
this bit of surprising information.
"The amount OF money in the treas
ury of the United States is simply APP
palling. No nation on earth was ever
so rich or had so much cash in hand.

uries and government repositories and

is that wealth is the product of labor.

of the country-nothing but labor does
that. all the money that government
has or ever will have, it must take from
the pockets of the people, by tariff or
otherwise, but chiefly by the tariff. The
public domain has about ceased to re.
plenish the treasury.

PLAN TO BEAT WADE,

A Washington dispatch furnishes
news of a plan being Matched to capture
the second Iowa district in 1904 as fol.
lows:
The republicans of the second Iowa
district, which last November elected
Martin j. Wade, q democrat, to succeed
the late Representative Rumple, are
taking time by the forelock in prepar-
ing for the campaign Of 1904. Iowa has
taken great pride in her solid republic
can delegation in congress and the
members of that party are determined
that Mr.. Wade shall not serve any
longer than the present term.
The second Iowa district was origin.
ally intended to be democratic and for
number of years it always sent a
member of that party to represent it in
congress, but the inhabitants of that
district could not stand for the sixteen
to one issue. Ever since 1896 they have
been electing republican members Of
congress until last fall. Numerous men
have been suggested az the republican
candidate next year. Prominent
among these is George F. Evers, who is
now and has been for number Of
years pair clerk in the house. It il
pointed out that his knowledge o.
politics and parliamentary practice
gained in his service in Washington are
calculated to be of advantage to him il
the campaign. His friends say that be
would be able to put up stronger fight
against the democratic candidate thar
any other man in the second distric
and they declare their intention tt
push him for the nomination before the
Republican convention

1T is A RANK INJUSTICE.

There is one law in the Iowa statutes
which is rank injustice. We refer to
the law which gives lumbermen and
other dealers in building materials or
labor the right to secure their claim by
a mechanics lien, the same protection
being refused TO grocers, dry goods and
clothing dealers. The lumber dealer
can even take away from poor man
his humble cottage, provided some dis
honest contractor has failed to pay for
the material used in its construction,
even though the owner has paid the
contractor in full. Why not protect the
grocer as we'll. The law gives the
grocer no recourse. A law was lobbied
through the legislator by the late Col.
Ballingall of Ottumwa, entitled an act
to protect hotel keepers, which pro-
vides that if a man goes to hotel and
eats even a single meal and refuses to
pay for it he can be arrested and sen.
fenced to pay fine or serve a Jail sen.
tence, but the poor grocer can go on
and furnish man groceries for his en-.
tire family for months and then when
the fellow refuses to pay he has no re-
course for he has nc property which is
not exempt from execution. What il
the difference whether the food is fur.
nished by a hotel keeper or grocer. Il
the law in favor Of the former is jus,
one, the grocer should be similarly pro
tected.

According to the opinion of many
officers IN the United States navy Amer
leans need not go into spasms at the
possibility of our ships having to fight
those of Germany. An officer in the
Brooklyn navy yard has this to say:

generally supposed. Leaving aside any
question as to the torpedo-feet.

deplored such agreements because they
usually caused more trouble than any
thing else. However the U. A. did rot
place itself in opposition to them. The
decision was practically an endorse
ment of the local unions position.
The local was asked to discourage the
