The bill. e says, does not contain anything novel or extraordinary, and is de- signed to build up much needed industries, reviye those that are lanzuishing, and rewmove inequalities in the existing law. He does not claim that that the bill is a_complete or per- fect measure of tariff revision, tut holds that itisa decided step in the right direction, and a suflicient indieation of the policy that should be musued in remodeling the tarilr and revenue laws. The changes in rates proposed are to go into effect on January 1, 1887, The additions to the present freo list are squared timpers, boards and Tumber in the rongh. ‘The present law ad- mitting live animals for breedinz purposes is repealed, The principal anges proposed 1o be made in the existing laws relate to re duetion on planed lumber, iron of various kinds, rice and ready made elothing, The bill repeals all forms of internal revenue tax- ation upon tobacco of every deseription, and all laws restricting its 1l disposition by farmers and producers after October 1,/ next.

A usual with him, Gladstone allows some degree of obseurity to ereep into liis utterances. ‘This may be merely to avoid closing this ease too carly in the contest, and it certainly leaves room for future develop- | ment. The unionists interpret his speech at Manchester yesterday as indicating at least a decisive intention to adhere to his 1rish plans in their entirety, including the scheme of land purchase, The pros- pects of the unionlsts appear favorable in every direction at present, but no situa- tion at this carly stage can fairly indicate the final result. The Issne i3, in faet lutely uncertain, There are possibilities in the way of surpriscs, combinations and shifts which no man can now caleulate. One of the most palpable and stubborn faets, ho ever, cannot be ignored, numely, the impecu- nious condition of the Gladstoncites. There is yet no promise of relief from the embarass ment which they h experienced all tnrough on account of a lack of funds. Their treasury is bankrupt. ‘They cannot, like the Parnellites, look to Ameriea for funds, though their labors are toward the same end, and no adequate sonree of home supply has vet developed. On the other hand, the unionists can command practically unlimited means, enabling them to vigorously contest avery seat in London and every country dis- triet where there seems to be the remotest chance for their suecess, The Gladstoneites, thus handicapped, leaving 165 scats in Great Britian to the union- ists without any attempt at contesting them, while the unionists refrain from posing candidates in forty-cight distriets only. I'he conservative papers continue to express anger over American subscriptions tothe 1 nell fund. “The Spectator_gives prominen to a letter in which the writer recalls the En- glish subseription to the confederate loans, witich, e assumes, were intended to lelp break up the American union, Great stress is pluced upon the fact that Gladstone sub- scribed $25 o this toan.

In this respect the acts of the demoerats quite belie their words, When they issued a call foran early convention they declared that they would have an aggressive and brilliant campaign, and they were longing for some- body to oven the ball and give them a chance at the enemy, But, on second thought, they took it all back. They don’t want to open the ball. They are mot longing to get after anybody. They want to be let alone, and they want itbad. There has been a very general, but ineffectual movement throueh the rank and file of the party to have the convention post- poned for two months. But the central com- mittee thought that would look too mueh like surrender, and so declined. The convention is about here, but the candidates and the en- thusiasm are all lacking, Several names have been suggested for the different positions on the state ticket, but nearly all the gentlemen thus distinguished have sent a declination in post haste after the announcement. Nobody seems to want democratic honors this year at the price they are now rated at in the market, which means a contribution of Ithousand dollars to the campaign fund, and their defeat at the end of the season. Within a few days some two or three numnes have been proposed, though with no especial enthusiasm, and itis probable that in tie ab- serce of any rivalry they may remain, ‘There was, a_few weeks ago, a little attempt to boom Mr. A, B.

But that” looked like an attempt to make a state issue out ot a very small country town affuir, and cooler counsels prevailed, and Mr. Keith was dropped. The, named for this place, who hasn't d advane is Senator ( tof Marion county. He is the author of the Cassatt coal screen bill that Dbeen the subject of more or less comment 1 one or two legislatures. What is more to the point just now is that he is a banker, well- to-do, and likely to contribute liberally to the campaign fund. The last qualification this year means a great deal. The democerats are missing the financial aid of their old allies very much, ‘There used to be a couple thou- and saloon keepers in Towa who were rozu- lar subseribers 1o the campaign fund. Now re are none. The few who are doing a clandestine business have to spend 5o much to keep out of juil that they have no money to puf into politics, S the democrats “are looking this for candidates with a “‘barrel.”” They mention, among other possible nonii- nees, Paul Guelick of Burlinzton for auditor. He 15 a son of the Guielick who has been the attorney tor the saloon men of lowa, and who formerly was a prominent German re- n, but left the party on account of prohibition. The young man is at present county auditor_of Pes Moiues count, AMr, Henriques of Marshalltown, who made the run two years ago, will also be a candidate for renomination as audit ‘The democrats hope that by some good luck they may possi- biy manage to elect an auditor, hoping that Mr. Brown will run as an independent can- didate, and thus throw ihe election to_them. But there is not much probability of his do- ing this, If he gets throu his'trial sa y he will Tikely ba content 1o return to. private lite, and thank his fate that he is off as easy as he s, THE REPUBLICAN The republican state convention will not be held till' the 25th of August, but there isa great stir amon the candidafes for auditor. All the other names on the ticket will proba- bly be renominations, as they represent but single terms and the incuiibents have gen- erally given satisfaction. But as Mr. Broy has had two terms alieady, even without t impeachment matter being considered. he ould probably mnot be candidate again, The three leading aspirants for the anditor- ship are Captain J. A. Lyons of Guthrie county, who has been a meéwmber of at least two legislatures; Mr. A. D. Peck, county auditor of Sac county, and Hon, Charles Beardsley, present acting auditor, They present, geographically, the northiwest, the central parf of the state ‘and the norihéast “They are all ghrod men, with strong folloy ings, and eitlier will save the state from any more such trouble and annoyance as the present auditor has eaused it. A DEMOCHATIC BLUNDE: By some oversight the democrats have issued in their ofticial eall a notice to_nomi ate a candidate for supreme judge, There is no vacancy this year, but the bix and little papers of the state kecp on publishing the announcement, and some think that the democrats are going to run a judge this year, and mext, too, and’ then add his vote togeth hoping by this means to coma in sight of the republican cadidate next year THE CONGRESSION AL SITUATION, There are no special chauges tn tlie con- gressional situation, ‘The real fizht this y will be made on national issucs, and Lowi re publicans will try to _elect ten of the eleven congressmen. Mr. Dolliver, the brilliant Jury orator of Fort Dodge, received a cordial endorsement from his fome county yeste day, in his contest for the conzressional nom- ination. He will go into the convention stronzer than any.other candidate, but prob bly not as strong as all others combined, 1f the field unites against him hemay be he but he is very popular throught the distr and has many friends who will vote ior him _on second choice, So it looks very much as though he would be the next con gressman from the Tenth district, THE C.
