POLLING IOWA EDITORS.

We do not, Of course. know what Is
the result of the poll Of Iowa republic
can editors on the subject of reciprocity
now being made by LATE Young's Iowa
Capital, but we do know that the Elk
celsor declared emphatically IN favor
Of the treaty. SO confident are we that
the farmers Of the United States Will
receive no harm from the arrangement
but on the contrary will be lastingly
benefited, that were our life dependent
upon the industrial success OF the
measure after q six months opportun-
ity for readjustment Of condition, we
would feel no uneasiness concerning
demise from that cause. Furthermore
We opine that when LATE insisted that
many editors voted their personal pref
erence for the treaty in the recent poll
made by the Chicago Tribune. they did
it with the knowledge that their vote
would not be made public and that
they would not thus be exposed to the
hostility of their farmer friends, the
ex-senator made large sized error.
There are not many republican news
paper men who are afraid to voice their
honest opinions. There are doubtless
many farmers who fear they may be
injured by the change but they would
not care to see an editor stultify him.

to see LATE express some surprise at
the result of his poll.

Tho Cleveland Memorial.
New York Tribune.1


The raising OF the fund for the CleVe-
land memorial tower at Princeton. n.
J.. and the assurance that the work
will be begun in the near future and
will be expeditiously pressed to COM
pletion are cause for general satisfac-
ton. 1t is desirable to erect memorials
of men who have filled important
places in our public life, tho the doing
Of this is so often attended with delay
and pecuniary embarrassment that
many persons have come to regard
such undertakings with prudent reIuct-
ance. 1t is incongruous with the very
spirit and purpose Of the memorials to
have them wait for years begging for
funds, or to remain for a long time half
finished The years OF incompletion OF
the Washington monument at the ma
tional capital and the delay over the
erection of Il fitting tomb FOR Genera
Grant in this city are remem bered with
humiliation. 1t is refreshing to kno"
that three years after his death ar
rangements are perfected for the build
ing of suitable memorial TO Grover
Cleveland, without delay and without
unseemly begging.
There will be none to question, either,
the propriety OF such memorial. Inc
controversies which Mr.. Cleveland pro-
volted or in which he was involved dur
ing his distinguished public career are
still fresh in mind. and the disagree
raent with some Of his policies which
was vigorously expressed has by no
means abated. The personal rancor
which unfortunately was manifested,
perhaps more by a disaffected faction
Of his own party than by the opposing
party, has, however, happily passed
away In perspective he has gained
and not lost esteem. Apart, moreover,
from his personal qualities and per-
formances, it was Mr. Clevelands fort
une to be conspicuous in an era OF ex-
ceptional interest and Importance In
American politics, involving great
changes Of party alignment, organiza-
ton and policy, for which cause also
ne is to be remembered.
The place and form Of the memorial
appear to have been felicitously chosen,
and upon the achieved progress and as
sured prospects Of the work all who
are concerned in it are entitled to con-
gra tula ton.
