ANOTHER PLEDGE THAT FAILED.

1t is to be hoped that the republican
caucus tonight will make definite set
Element Of the contest over the offices
of state printer and binder. AS be-
tween the present incumbents and
Messrs. CHASED and English there Is
but one just basis of settlement and
that is to nominate the latter gentle
men for the offices. So far as the in
they would be served and guarded as
faithfully and effectively by Chassel
and English as they have been by Muir
ply and Tedford, both of whom appear
to have been good officers.
The fight goes back to the legisla :
tive session of two years ago. There
was very evident disposition on the
part of that legislature to Gust Muir
ply and Tedford and put CHASED and
English in their places. 1t was prac-
tically certain that both could be easily
elected. The incumbents and the cam
didates appear to have come to an
agreement To give MeSSrS. Murphy
and Tedford the usual term accorded
the positions they hold CHASED and
English consented to wait over 1t
was understood and was, it is anthem
tically stated, Il matter of agreement
that CHASED and his running mate
should have no opposition when the
next legislature convened. 1t was a
bargain. Mr.. Murphy pledged his sup
port and influence to Mr.. English.
English and CHASED trusted the prom
with which these opponents are affil-
lated.
This agreement appears to have
been summary broken as soon as
fractional exigencies demanded. Now
Messrs. Murphy and Tedford are en-
gagged in a desperate struggle to pro-
long their terms of office by extension
one year. 1t is claimed that whatever
the action of the republican caucus,
they will carry ON the fight by attempt
ing to defeat the resolution calling the
houses together for joint vote on the
offices of printer and binder.
The particular breach of political
contract irresistably recalls that other
deliberate reputation of a fair agree
ment made in The interests of the
"harmony,' that Mr.. Perkins makes
the paramount issue, which resulted in
the partial loss of Polk county to the
progressives and gave the standpatters
their brief thirty days of triumph prev
ious to the national convention, and Mr..
Blythe the opportunity to vote Iowa
according to his own and his corpora
tons preferences in that convention
Such agreements as have been made
with the railroad faction have. to speak
mildly, been unfortunate. The stand

beginning to tell upon his helth, but
that he was sure return after six
years to manual labor would prove

OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW

In the December number of Every

| that he has now a Job office wherein he
| employees eight persons whose entire
| time is taken up in printing circulars
and mailing the same to the Stocllhod-
ers of the New York Life and Mutual
/ Insurance Companies of New York
City. The object and end sought is to
/ have said stockholders send him a
voting proxy for every share they own.
| Furthermore. he states in the same ar
! tice that his expenses so far have been
! $112,0 1t is fair to assume that this
expense is still growing. Many Iowa
| stockholders in these companies have
sent him their pproxies. Others will
undoubtedly respond to his appeal.
Have such stockholders stopped to
ask themselves of Thomas w. Law
son. why he has spent $4,000 to Sc
cure these proxies? Reading Lawson

tected in his career as shown by his
own account, anything making prob

The Creston Advertiser believes "the

portation it receives is the very rare
exception. Railroad advertising is q
matter of business with them just as
it is with the railroads. 1t is in no
sense a subsidy. Railroads which do
not come within hundreds of miles of
Iowa are glad to advertise in Iowa

things which go to prove that the ar
