THE REPUBLICAN POSITION.

Abba Union: There is no fight be-
ing made on Governor Cummins. 1t
is conceded on all hands that he shall
be delegate at large along with SEN
ators Allison and Dolliver. But there
is fight upon the principles that
Cummins stands for. The party did
not follow him when he supported
Horace Boies the two times that he
was elected governor, but went down
to defeat with colors flying steadfast-
ly supporting republican principles
and the standard bearers, Hiram G.
Wheeler and J. G.. Hutchinson. The
party did not follow him when ne
wrote his famous letter to Gorrell ad,
vocating free coinage Of silver as a
solution Of all financial ills. The par.
ty will not follow him now in his cru.
sade for free trade with Canada. Had
the republicans adopted the Cummins
trinity, free whisKey, free silver and
free trade, they would have been as
fatal as the three RS Of the Blaine
campaign Of 1884. Let Cummins &c
as delegate at large, but deliver us
from the adoption Of any of his hob
bies.

-Easter day is aways the first su

Easter day is aways the first Sun
day after the full moon which hap
pens upon or next after March 2I,
then Easter Sunday is the Sunday af-
ter. If the full moon should happen
on Saturday, March 21, the Easter
would be March %, which is the ear
liest date it can happen, and April 25
is the latest date. A little calcula-
ton based on the fact that the time
from new moon till full moon is four
teen days, will explain this variat'o on,
The extremes Of the occurrence of
Easter are very seldom rached some
times centuries intervene between
them. The first full moon after
March 81 this year is on Thursday
March 81. This brings Easter on the
following Sunday, which is April 8.

Uncle Henry wallace,

Uncle Henry Wallace, of Des
Moines, editor of Wallaces Farmer,
one of the greatest farmers publica-
tions in the country, was in the city
the other day, en- route from Sigour-
ney, where ne had talked to a large
gathering of boys and girls Of Keokuk
county, concerning the organization
of an Agricultural Society, or young
peoples club. The organization is
worked through the county superin-
tendent of schools. The meeting in
Sigourney was a great success. Mr..
Wallace has designs on Mahaska,
and the boys and girls of the county
will no doubt be organized and have
club of their own before the coming
of the next Farmers Institute.

to use it for exposition purposes it
would be placed at its disposal. The

Train service is practically restored and
relief for the flood victims is ample. The
United States mail service is swamped
with tons of mail. Strenuous efforts are
being made by City Engineer Anderson
to dam up the Turner street subway be-
meath the Grand Trunk tracks. This
subway is held responsible for the Sc
riousness of the flood in the West side
district, as the embankment formerly
served as dyke The foundations OF
houses are beginning to give way under
the impact of the current. The frost
is coming out of the ground and this
combined with the current Is already
shaking houses. 1t is possible to save
them if the current can be diverted.
Fear is expressed that the damming OF

of the current into the main channel
may cause more trouble along the river

Great Damage in Indiana.
Indianapolis, Ind, March 30.--All riv-
ers tributary to the Wabash and Ohio
are overhowing and great damage has
been done to farms and buildings
throughout southern Indiana At Vim
cennes the danger seems greatest.
Every precaution is being taken to pre-
vent the possible breaking of levees. All
sanitary sewers have been stopped with
sand bags. Nearly all Of the large man
ufacturing plants have been forced to
close and it is thought that the city gas
plant will be closed. The electric light
and power plant is also in danger. Sew
eral of the city bridges are in danger
and the Evansville & Terre Haute rail-
road has suspended operations. In the
White river bottoms 10000 acres of
wheat are inundated. At Petersburg the
river has backed into several mines,
forcing them to close. Hazleton is com
pletely isolated The gauge at Evans
vile registers 35 feet inches, which is
almost foot above the danger line.
Between Evansville and Terre Haute
several levees have broken, flooding
hundreds Of valuable farms.
The only danger point north Of In
dianapolis is at Lafayette, where water
from the Wabash is undermining a
high railroad embankment. Should a
serious break occur, district that is
now protected will be flooded.
In the flooded district below Terre
Haute and above Evansville, where
Monday night the leyees broke, flooding
over 100000 acres of rich bottom lands,

In passing sentence on Senator Bur ton of Kansas, the closing paragraph of Judge Adams remarks is worthy of repetition, and should be impressed upon the minds of the American peo- pie. It is as follows: "Your convic. tion necessarily results in your pun ishment. Its importance, in my opin ion, is not confined to its effect upon you. Your exalted station in life and the character of the offense gives un. usual significance to your conviction. It demonstrates that the law of the land is equal to any emergency, and that it can be administered regardless of the personality or station If the ac. cused. It also demonstrates to all the people that public office cannot be prostituted to self serving purposes, and that pu blic office is not sure or safe passport to private thrift"

Mohave county has long been over. and we would suggest that it is due this county to be awarded one of the six delegates to both the democratic and republican national conventions. It has been suggested by several of the old line democrats that R. J. Holmes, of Silver Creek, would be the right man to represent the county and ter ritory, and that O. D. M. Gaddis would do the honors for the republicans in their national convention, is the opin. ion of good republicans. Either man would be credit to the county and party he represents.
