Thestatement that the census^showed it |NMH of population in^Iowa lias received wide circulation, anil^numerous, varied and itiRenious have^been the speculations to account for^the phenomenon. It now appears that^the statement was an error due to a^blunder in the telegraphic trans^^mission from Washington of a rwgh^estimate of the state's population made^several weeks ago. The number of^Iowa's inhabitants is now placed in^round numbers at two millions, a nil^durini* the decade of nearly i^tir^hundred thousand, lint it's risky busi^^ness predicating anytliiiitruu any ligures^furnished by Superintendent Porter.^The census of IH'.KI isn't worth much^for any purpose.
Therepublican committee of the^state of New York has done a wise^tiling in iMfaiMtiBg Jodfl Kuril, a^democrat, to lie hisoun successor in^the court of appeals. The conitnittee,^recognizing the impossibility of elect^^ing an opposition candidate, has no^doubt made a virtue of necessity; hut^however low the motive, the act consid^^ered by itself is worthy of all praise,^lince the judpe is a perfect I y|ie of^judicial uprightness and ability. The^republican party is not noted for di-^festitig itself of partisanship when^judges are to be chosen nor have all^republican judges been famous for^freeing themselves from party tit s in^eases requiring a judicial (h tenuina^tion of political contests. In I he Strife^and contention, the burly burly of pnU^tical politics, thereiiomiuatioiiot Judge^Karll by both parties is a pleasing^spectacle, one that illustrates as nearly^as possible the fulfillment of a high^political ideal.

THINGSTHEY RESOLVED ON.^In convention yeslenlav, the repub^^licans of Silver Bow county adoptid a^platform. It cordially approves Prcsi^dent Harrison, commends Mr. McKin-^ley and approves Bp^kor Heed. It
praisesSecretary Noble, and those who
framedthis platform declare that ^DO^language is adequate to express the ad^miration they feel tor Thomas II. Car^^ter.^ but the lack of terms m which to^express commendation is made good in^a hearty recommendation of Mr. far^^ter's reiioinitiation.
Webelieve that this exhausts the list^ef individuals who come in fur a share^^f the convention's praise, except that^Mr. .lack and Mr. Hall are applauded^for the course they adopted last Octo^ber. Bf natural ItnnotlfTQ, Judge De-^Wolfe end Jndge MoHettoo ira audi
thetargets for the convention's shafts^of disapproval. .Judge DaWotfR is out^of otlice atul out of polities; .ludge Mr^Hatton will be continued in ntlire right^along because, by common consent, he^is as trustworthy and, at the same lime,^as competent a judge as Silver How^county ever had. Democrats claim this,^eepublicans frankly admit it. In fact,^every intelligent man in Hutte con^fosses that, tn giving to Mcllatton a^judicial office which Hamilton claimed.^Utter Bow county actually eeoaped^disaster. That is putting it very^broadly, but the BTAHDAM toowi it^the truth, and so does the Hutte lnt^r^H'lurittiiu. and so dots Captain Couch,^an 1 Mr. Mantle, and Ceneral Warren,^and every delegate who. kitting n, v^lerday's aoareaUon, roted eeotare on
thejudge. Don't worry about Judge^Mcllatton. Popular suffrage will keep^him in his present office, and nine re^^publicans out of ten la Silver How^county will be satisfied to have him^there.
Theamazing lapse in the platform^framed yesterday is its neglect to make^even so much as indirect reference to^Sanders and Power. Dad the ship^^ment ot these pretenders to Washing^^ton met with approval in Hutte, a^word in commendation would certainly^not have been withheld. To the aver^^age Hutte republican, Sanders is^neither here nor there; and we have^the testimony of the party organ in^Hutte that the election of Power was^the triumph of the Northern Pacilic^land-grab ring. The omission of all^reference to these two fraudulent^oflice-holders was undoubtedly the re^^sult of deliberate purpose on the part^of Silver How republicans. For that^matter, we do net imagine for a^moment that any word in praise of^either of them could get a hearing in^a convention of Silver How republicans
notwith Charles Wesley Warren in^the presiding otlicer's chair.
Somuch for men. As to measures^the republicans draw the line between^Hlaineandthe other fellows, and they^go against Hlaine. The policy of the^republican party relating to silver is^commended, and this plank is particu^^larly noteworthy since it conies from^the coun^ry's leading mining camp in^face of the fact that, when free coinage^w as ready to be passed, there were all^told only twenty-three republicans in^the house of representatives who were^willing to vote for it.
Hutterepublicans didn't find it in^their hoarts to approve the force bill.^We do not believe one man among ten^of them favors it. Hy the way our re^publican friends ^'denounce^ Coventor^Toole. We suppose the Coventor can^stand it.
VICTORAND VANQUISHED.
Whenhe went to the front as presid^^ing otlicer in the silver How republican^convention, yesterday afternoon, Cen-^eral Warren made a characteristic lit^^tle 8|H-ecli. We do not know how the^Ceneral could have talked more to the^point, unless he had condensed his^COD) moot I iuto a single sentence anil re^^marked. ^^Centleinan of the convention:^Hen' we ^rej^a.in.''
Notthat v jh-st v\ii.\i:i^ would pre^^sume to criticise Ceneral Warren's^pithy address it was long enough and^short enough, it was suggestively remi^^niscent. It was brief but very pun^^gent, it entertained the members of the^convention, its phrases will be graven^on the memory of Captain Couch. A^good many people will think it an ill-^advised platform pertomiaiiee. since it^will unquestionably feed the lires of^republican discord, but that is not the^affair of democrats.
CeneralWarren tells us that, for the^lirst time in Montana's republican his^^tory, he was not a delegate in last^year's state convention. Circum^^stances over which the Ceneral and his^friends had no control shut him out^twelve months ago, but he will get^there this year with both feet, and^tin re isn't any doubt about it.
Tothe average politician nothing is^more refreshing than to DOeOQecioOl^that, when it tomes to local^rivalry, he has put all things^under him. That triumphant sen
timet))welled In the breast of
CeneralWarren yesterday when,^standing on the platform in Pensbavv^hall, he said to the assembled forces:^^I was left 01T last year, not because I^was not a republican, not la-cause I^had tailed to contribute my mite tn the^common cause. iml because any one^could question my partv fidelity, but^^imply because of a feeling of malicious^spile a feeling I would not exhibit to^ward a dog.'' Metaphorically. Ceneral
Warrenstood with his anal planted

dayafternoon. That is where the en^einy belonged, since the returns show-^that, in a contest over the election of^delegates, Mr. Mantle and Onsen]^Warren earned the precincts in the^Proportion Of about eight and a half to
one.
Tothese two m iitlemcii remain the^fruits of victory until next November
not longer than that, liccause the^democrats will cany silver How county^when the telling light is on. Mean^while, what o| the vanquished republi^^can oonUnflaut^ Pot 0ur part, we

A PECULIAR RACKET.^The private hie of President ll.ir^rieon and his family is left compara^lively alone on six days of the week,^but on the seventh is bla/.oued to the^world with unvarying regularity and^conspicuous minuteness. If the Hit^riaOM were not in the habit of attend^log church regularly every Sunday, the^occasions when they did go might an^propnatcly be made the theme of^national comment. As it is, the usual^Monday morning chronicle oi their^attendance at divine worship, accom^pan led by a more or less apecitic
scheduleof tboir wearing apparel ami^other trivtallttat, la growing decidedly^monotonous not to say offensive to^good taste. It seems to suggest that^this is one of the ways the administra^^tion has chosen to commend' itself to
thegood people of tliiillitry.
Thechief offender la this matter is^the national republican organ, the New^York Tritium. Its exhaustive reports^of the acts of the Harrisons on Sunday^verge very closely on burlesque. To be^sure the taste of the masses in current
literatureis not any too exalted. They^like to read not only of the doings and^sayings, the goings and comings of their^country's leaders, but they are curious^about their domestic life as WoH, and^insist on linding out all they can. In a^more or less pronounced degree, all^newspapers undertake to gratify this^taste.
Hutthere is a limit to the curiosity^of even the most curious. Nobody^can read the Triliiun'x accounts of^the Harrisons' Sunday devotions^without intermingling feelings of^mirth and disgust. When the party^were at Cresson Springs, Pa., a week^ago, they were reported in this style:
Thisinomini! Mrs. ltussell Harrison and Mrs.^Mekec breakfasted in the ordinary (lining room^at a table anions the roltugers. Alxxit ii o'clock^three ladi. s set out from the l'ark milage with^lli. ir |ira^erlMH^ks in their hands and walked^over to the Mountain house to attend the sen Ice^in the parlor. They were Mrs. ||;u i i-^ii, Mi ^^.^Hiisscll Harrison and Mrs. Iiimmiek. of Wash^^ington. All the ladies were dressed plainly.^Several little groups of men from the country^around were lolliiu on the crass, ev ideiitly on^the lookout for the visitors. .Mrs. Harrison wore^a dark dress and over her shoulders. Hie wind^heing rather brisk, she had thing a licavy wrap.
FortunatelyMr. Harrison did not ac^^company her on this occasion, else the^wind's contact with his whiskers no^doubt would have been treated in the^same spirit of exhaustivencss. I'p-^w ards of half a column of matter simi^^lar to the foregoing is printed, a dose^big enough and strong enough to make^the most devoted admirer of Mr. Har^^rison and his estimable family sick^unto death. If anybody is trying to^increase the solidity of the adminis^^tration with the people in this extraor^^dinary way, his racket won't w ork.
Therepeated attempts to wreck pas^^senger trains on the New York Central^railroad awaken a thrill of horror and^indignation throughout the country.^Public opinion will naturally lay the^dastardly deeds at the door of some of^the more desperate of the defeated^strikers. (If course no one will lie so^unjust as to suppose for a single mo^^ment that the Knights of Labor as an^order countenance any such doings, or^that any considerable number of them^have the smallest sympathy for the^brutes that are seeking to wreak their^vengeance upon innocent and unsus^^pecting persons. For their ow n good^name the Knights of Labor more than^any other class of people will lie^anxious to assist in apprehending and^punishing the offenders. The manner^in w hich the attempts to derail p i-.cn^ger trains are made would seem to in^^dicate that they are the work of men of^railroad experience. Whoever they are.^they are anarchists of the worst pos^sible type and society will not rest con^^tented until it is rid of them.
Thenumerous memorial meetings in^honor of John Hoyle t I'Keilly prove that^he was one of the most popular and re^^spected Irish-American citizens in the^country.
Theirovoriiment of Russia is kicking^against Chinese colonization. The c/ar^evidently wants to preserve Siberia ex^^clusively for the purposes to which it is^now devoted.
Whenthe Hutte later Mninilnin calmly^assures ii- that tin re are no Losses 1,1 tl^-^republican party, our impulse is to ask^whether Mr. A. It. Hammond is dead.
Inview of Mr. BenhflekTs ardent atl-^v. e.ii y of Mr. Thompson Campbell for^congressional candidate, (he S'l'.VNDAItt)^deplores its premature withdrawal of that^gentleman's name. Silver How ropub-^HeaalM is for Carter and, next to him,^for any Helena man. ^ ^n the other hand,^Mr. Horshtield is for Campbell, and that^wealthy gentleman's preference means a^good dial to the republican campaign^purse. Republican or denioorut, the^St vmi vi.ti is lor a west-side man. The^SrvMiAKi) prematurely withdrew the^name of Mr. Campbell. If it had it to do^over again, it wouldn't do it.
Mr.Carter ha-managed to bring Hutte^to terms. Having silenced Silver How^censure of Helena's 'dioggishneiw^ lie^may now proceed to let BtltM nominate^aim for congress.

Themeeting in Indianapolis of the na^^tional greenback convention illustrates^the vitality of some forms of delusion.^There are probably not many people in^the I'mted Stales to-day having sufficient^intelligence to form a.iy opinion whatever^on the subject w ho believe, as thousands^of persons believed ten or twelve years^ago, that it is in the power of the govern^^ment to make money by tbe simple and^relatively inexpensive process of Netting^the printing presses to work. The public^have been educated to a perception of tbe^truth that u government note or a national^promise to pay, which is the same thing, is^like the promissory note of a private^Ihtsou, only valuable so far us it has^value behind it, and that there is no^power of Icg'slatiou by which a Hat cur^^rency can lie sustained in circulation. A^gold dollar is worth a dollar because in^the ex|H'rience of the world it costs a dol^^lar to produce it, and a Hollar note is^worth a dollar because its holder can get^a dollar for it; but to print on a piece of^|^u|ier, ^This is a dollar,^ does not make^it worth a dollar, even though the gov^^ernment does the printing. This is now^generally understood and agreed to, but it^seems that the old greenback party has^not vet been educated out of existence. It^is still able to hold a convention, such as^it is.
