AN ISSUE STATED.

The Jones county, republicans are to
be commended for not trying to dodge
the issue which they regard as up
permost., They declared:
'we affirm the resolution passed by
the Jones county republican convan-
ton two years that we favor the
retention of w. B. Allison and j. P.
Deliver as senators from Iowa so long
as their faculties remain unimpaired.'
This is more to the point and more
nearly honest than the usual pro-
nouncements. 1t Is just what is in
the mind OF Dolliver. no doubt, and in
the mind of more than one who has
profited by the political situation.
Furthermore 1t is sentiment which
would be cheered In any caucus of
senators at Washington, republicans or
democrats for there is not one OF
them from Dictator Aldrich on down
thru Elkins, Kean, Crane, Kittreo ge,
Hopkins, Penrose and Platt to the
newest arrival, but who will agree that
this is the right principle.
OF course II the precedent Is set in
one case, for Iowa, 1t will be vastly
easier to have It followed in other
cases to come. II Allison is to be
kept in congress SO long as his "facul-
ties remain unimpaired" then of course
Dolliver ought to be kept there for the
same reason. It's a soort of endless
chain.
