v THE CONTEST IN IOWA.
The names of Gov. Gear and James
F. Vil8011 jare > the most prominent in
the senatorial contest in Iowa. The
following of ex-Senator Harlan is a
personal one , and the strength as yet
developed by his name is not sufficient
to make him a formidable antagonist.
Gov. Gear has in his favor a record ,
which -on the whole , has gained
him the confidence of the
people. . He also possesses ,
thb advantage of high official position
and-tho use of the party machinery.
J < i4S generally understood that the ap
pointment of Judge McDill was a move
* owards strengthening Governor Gere's
canvass. There are those , however ,
who assert that Senator McDill will be
his own successor. The antagonism
joxistingibetween the Gero and Wilson
forces JIB such that no coalition is be
lieved to bo impossible , and in case
neither are to obtain the requisite
numb'er of votes , a combination on
Senator McDill is thought to be proba
ble. . , ' .
iv James JE. Wilson ispushing unactive
canvass for the uenatorship and is al
ready laying the wires for capturing
the legislature. He will obtain the
jiuidivided-BUppoit of the monopolies.
His past record as a railroad attorney
.and subservient tool of the corportions
has gained him high favor in railway
circles. The people of the state , out
side of the railroads , are not , however ,
favorably disposed to Mr. Wilson , and
jhis , homo paper , the Fairfield -
field Ledger , recognizing this ,
fact , has recently come out
in an elaborate defense of his "record
asja railroad attorney , It asserts that
'in Mr'Wilson's argument before the
-legislature in 187G he did not express
his real sentiments , but simply those
of the corporation bywhich hewas
employed , andlnslsts that the would
be cnator is .a firm believer in the
|
Bright of the people to regulate com
mon carriers for the public good.
It iswell argued that it "does
riot matter whether Mr. Wilson
affirmed or denied in 1870 the
rights of the state to regulate the
charges of railroads. What the people
of Iowa desire to know is" how ho feels
tt * "
Jupon the'-questioii of the state exercis
ing its rights. "The Siour City Jbur-
'nal is ably opposing Mr. Wilson a can
didacy and closes a recent editorial as
folio- . , * : "The point is that Jfc. Wil-
* aon , wild Is a candidate for the senate
of the United States , is in close sym-
patby-with the railway-corporations of
the country on the matter of state
, regulation of lhe business of these
i corporations ; that he is opposed to I

public Acrvice at least , so far as the
power to determine the price for which
the son-ice shall bo performed is con-
A FALSE ASSUMPTION.
The assertion so constantly made by ,
woman suffragists that the state lias
for centuries held women in bondage ,
to the-detriment both of the body po
litic and of woman herself , is the
sheerest nonsense. Our laws are
framed to grant to woman".the widest
protection. By giving her the suffrage
the state would make woman , not
only the political equal of man ,
but his political master. For
centuries , woman , as the weaker of
the sexes , has been considered by the
state as entitled to greater protection
than man. On this account , aU laws ,
wherein the ngMs-of < 7man are at
si ike , have been made with a view of
giving her as much the advantage in
their administration as will equalize
man's natural strength and his rights
under the same , circumstances com
bined. These additional protection
and immunities are 'not special priv
eleges , but rights which the state con
siders as born with women , and th
state has always maintained that tin
welfare offamilies is more de
pendent upon sustaining these rights
than upon any other condition.
In the matter of an assault upon a
woman , her oath is" considered equal
to the oaths of three men of repute
in divorce laws , everything is to th
prejudice of the man.simply becausi
the state considers that the sanctity o
the family , itsfpurity , and the purity'o
the mother , finds the best protector ii :
the mother herself.
Can it bo considered for a momen
that society will be benefited by alter
ing these laws , thereby bringing wo
man down to the level of man ? Would
society bo benefited by altering thi
maxim tliat woman is the immediate
natural protector of her own offspring
If woman be given the power to vote ,
man will have the just right to de
inand that all laws shall be so changed
as to give to liim the same rights and
privileges as woman. By taking
up the ballot woman abdicates
her time-honored position before the
law , because she , too , becomes a law
maker , and it would be an outrage on
her oath as such law-maker ,
and upon common sense , that she
should make and maintain laws to the
disparagement of those who should at
least birher equals , but are not. It
would bo in direct violation of the
plea by which she mainly obtained the
right to vote the plea of equal
rights.
-But we dp not argue that because
ivomanlias succeeded in obtaining the
ballot , the interests of the family , and
through the family , the mot sacred
interests of society , should be outraged
> r neglected. It would be just as much
the duty of the. state to protect
; hese precincts as ever ; but , could it
le done - with.any degree of consist-
sncy ? Would not the female voter
iihiat that her views on the subject
vere just as worthy of "being made :
aw as those that heretofore , had ov-
; rncd society in a healthful , consistent
ipirit ? Would she not , now that she
tad a voice in the matter , rcvolution-
ze the whole structure ? As mother ,
vould she not carry the sympathies of
, he children with her , thus destroy
ing { hat"holy union , "the family ]
The state , -withholding from
woman the privilege to vote , weighs
ill these matters , and something be
sides. It considers that the good of .
iociety is safe so lonjj as the unity of
man and wife are inviolable. By giv
ing to woman jthe ballot , , the state
lelilrf > nitely' and criminally invites a
iircach of this unity. It invites the '
iroman to withdraw .from the bosom
) f her husband , and beslime herself in
; he gutter of politics for the sake of
nakjng. 'a bold display before the
irorld of her newly acquired "free-
Join. " Before granting woman
ihe ballot , the state had no right to
xmsider tliat this unity did not exist ;
the presumption must be in favor of
it. "Therefore , " the state will reason ,
"why give the ballot to the woman , for
if she do not vote as docs her husband ,
shejiiay invite his displeasure. " Surely
; ho state would'be guilty of the great-
jst of crimes by'knowingly adding to
ihe manifold means of destroying the
family harnionj" .
The state lias nothing to gain what-
jver by making a voter of women. By
jo doing , iow ills are" showered upon
society , the law lifts away that mystic
shield which had hung over the head
jf woman in her own right ; and ,
finally , and saddest of all , woman is
brought down from that exalted pedes
tal where she had stood Jhe embodi
ment of peace and motherly blessings ,
to mingle with harlots and all manner
tf men in the strife for political domi
nance.
THEannual supply of Vpital in the
sast is indicated by the rapidity with
tvliich new schemes for investment arc
taken up. "Within the past month
new loans amountinp'to tens of mil
lions have been eagerly-snapped up by
the investing public. The Pennsylva
nia railroad has placed on the market
the first four-and-a-half-per cent , rail ,
road loan ever offered in the world ,
ind it has been fifty per cent , over-
lubscribed , and now , in advance of
he issue of the bonds , is quoted -at a
> remium of one per cent. A new tel-
sgrapli company has liad offered to it ,
irior to the opening of"tho books , all
the money for which it asked , and it
Muld have got twice as much on the
same terms. Half a dozen railroad
companys liavo found ready purchasers
for a new issue of bonds , and none
ire now offered at alHvhicli dp not ap ,
pear to meet "with great favor from
investors.
LITERARY NOTES ,
Octave TTeuillet lias always been a
Favorite among the public. His
"Count de Cauiors" and 'Tho Amours
of Philippe" have liad 'an immense
success. "Bellah , " for which we
propliesy even greater popularity , is a
novel of a different type. The scene
is laid in Brittany , a part of France :
more full of picturesque legends than
any oilier. The pesantry there have
a character of their own : the women
are noted for their beauty , the men
for their patriotism. Feuillet has
taken anincident'.ot the Vondcan war
and interwoven with it a passionate
Ibvc'lstory. Bellali ; the heroine is
one-of-thosc women whose patriotism
and spirit of self-sacrifice are such
tliat they are ready to die for their
king , their country , and those they
love. She is of the stuff of which mar
tyrs are made. The numerous touches
in the book are worthy of Dickens.

The President's Position.
Chicago Tribune. '
A dispatch from an apparently au
thentic source reports that the presi
dent , in conversation with a personal
friend on the subject of the controver
sy with Senator Conkling , said : "I
presume there are a great many people
' doesn't the president
ple who say : 'Why
dent make some overtures to Senator
Conkling and thereby bring about a
solution of the now present difficul
ties ? ' Now , if these people will stop
to consider that this government
consists of three great branches ,
the executive the judicial , and
the legislative , they will see that
Conkling is but a small fraction of the
latter , whilst the executive is one-third
of the whole. It should not , there
fore , in my judgment , be expected ,
and I don't think the American people
would expect the president to make
overtures to so small a fraction as one
senator out of seventy-six. " If this
bo the real attitude of the president ,
there is no room to suspect that he
will weaken by accepting the specious
propositions of the Conkling faction
to exchange Judge Robertson for Mr.
Chandler or for any one else.
There is but one course the presi
dent can follow with honor , and that
is to stand by his guns. If he is" going
to weaken ho should never have made
the issue. Ho has got so far into th
fight that ho cannot withdraw now
without disgracing himself , throwinj-
discredit upon his office , and forfeit
ing confidence of the people win
are looking to him to assert the righ
which the constitution givSB him , ante
to maintain it , not only against Oonk
ling , but against every other senator ,
and all of then ) combined. The issue
involved is a vital ono , It is not Sen
ator Conkling's likes op dislikes
but it is the maintenance
of clear and , undisputed con
stitutional powers of the executive
branch of -government. . The presi.-
dent has eithet to * * contend for and
maintain his prerogatives , as th
people who elected liini expect him to
do , or ho lias to allow them to be
usurped by Senator CunUliijgrwljo
was not elected by the people , and by
seventy-five others of his associates , if
the principle is once established , who
were not elected by the people. It
may be cljflicult for Senator Conkling
to understand why tie ] government
should not be run to suit his likes and
disliker and to afford him personal
gratification , but if ho were nearer to
the people and if their will had had
anything to do with his election he
would have no difficulty in under
standing it.
The almost unsninipug voice of the
people and the press should "convince
the president that they look to him in
this struggle , if it can bo dignified
with llio name of fi struggle , lo make
no bargains , effect no exchanged , ac
cept no compromises. All ho.has to
do is to wait and lot the senate act ,
ind not withdraw one inch from the
position he has taken. If they re
fuse tp confirm his nominations they
must take the resf jn | blity. } If they
dictate to him the names of officials' ,
lie must disregard them. If thuy ro *
ject , ho can , send them in again , un
less there is cause. If a nomination
is impropgr. the president should not
liave made it. If the nom'naliqn , on
the other hand , is proper , the senate
lias no right to reject it , because the
ionstp fa iift ) tjip p5fcutjye power.
The position tak-QH by aratqp

pertinent one , and the president

AMERICAN PORK.
S'ational Associated I'resu.
WASUIXOTON , May 1C. In view of
the recent action taken by the French
ind other European governments-in
regard to American pork , aa well aa to
bo able to correct by positive and per
sonal evidence , the-exaggerated reports
tdiich are published in Europe con- .
: eniiiig hog-cholera and tricliinrej
imong American. , swine , Secretary
Blaine sent the ch.ief of the bureau of
itatistics , of the department of state
to Chicago and Cincinnati , to investl-
jato the entire question of hog-raising
ind pork-packing in the west in all its
phases "from the farm to the ship. "
In accpplaiice with the secretary's
"
instructions , tnls "gentleman viaited
representative hog raisers , buyers ,
shippers , packing houses , stock yards ,
rendering cstablishuions , health ofli-
: ers and funyarding agents ; and has
low submitted his report which will
> e immediately published by the de
partment fpr circulation in Europe.
The cflnglusjoji arrjyedat iii this re
port , are as fpllrtwgj
1. That the SWJDO of America are of
he beat and purest breads and are fed
ind fattened for markota on corn. It
s not believed that swine are thus fed
n any other country.
2. That the reports published in
Europe -concerning the death of Amer-
can hogs from hog-choleia , are gross
jxaggerations.
3. That the percentage of deaths
imong American swine from disease
a no greater than the percentage of
leaths among European awino from
similar diseases.
4. That American hogs which have
iied or may die from cholera or from
my cause whatever , can have no 'rela
tion to the meat product , ( except to
lecrease it ) as such animals cannot by
my possibility pass the severe scruti
ny and inspection to which hogs des-
: ined for killing and curing are subject -
ject Tliat , even if it were possible to
sass such inspection , no art of the
iurer could convert such animals into
neat which could pass the inspection
in the words of a leading curer ,
'even of a blind man. "
5. ' That tp JeaRi'excited and fos
tered in parte of .Europe b.y interested
persons , tliat any portion pf hogs ,
ivhich have died or may die of chol
era or from any other causp , U or 0411
be converted into merchantable lard ,
ire founded on Che grossest ignorance ,
"or merchantable lard cannot be pro
duced from sucli dead animals.
6. That every pound of thn w"-
3uct rendered from diseased hogs except -
: cept tliat part used as a fertilizer is
plainly marked "brown grease , "
"white grease , " or ' 'dead hogs' '
ijrpasp , " rn4 soli"ns such , largely , to
soap manufacturers , and that jk color
ind odor preclude it from being mis-
; akon for lard. > .
7. That the same care is taken in !
ho handling and manufacture of
American lard which is taken in the
landling and curing of American
neats , and that , as the corn-fed
imerican hog is the cleanest of its
ipocies " anywhere , it is undeniable that
"unorican lard is thp purest lard in
vny market.
8. That the
> an brwr. _ ; r percentage i.i _ . . . 11
though this question is thus far large-
y one'of suppoaitio u"js in all proba
bility , by" reason of the superiority .of
the breed'and feed , much Jess than
that among the hogs in any other
country.
9. That the freedom from trichinosis
of the two great pork-consuming
centres of the west-Chicago and Cin
cinnati-furnishes the strongest possible
evidence of the purity of American
pork. In Chicago for a series of years
in which forty thousand deatlis were
reported with their causes , only two
cases of trichinosis were reported.
In Cincinnati during the same period
not one case was reported.
10. Tliat the reported cases of
trichinosis have resulted from eating
uncooked meat ; shown to bo inferior
or rejected , and that thorough cook
ing entirely destroys , this parasite and
removes all danger , in this regard ,
from eating pork.
11. That the selection , inspection ,
and killing of American hogs , and
the subsequent handling and curing

12. That , as a rule , the hogs select-
ed.for foreign trade are in all respects
equal to the very best disposed of in
our homo market.
13. That the great exaggerations so
industriously spread in regard to dis
eased pork , have been aided by the
different significations attached to the
word "pig. " In Europe it is used as
the synonym of hog , whereas iu Amer
ica it means the young swine under
six months , and generally refers to
those only a few weeks old. The
number of "pigs" that die from va *
rious causes compared with the num
bers of "hogs" that die , is very largo
and grossly erroneous conclusions are
formed by confounding the two words.
