PROHIBITION JHROWN OVER. Iowa Republican Platform Adopted at the DesMOines Convention. DBS Moiszs, Aue 16 Iowa Republican state convention adjourned last evening after nominating the following ticket: p. Jackson. S.

Dungan. Kailroad Lake. Supreine Court Robinson fcupermtendent Public Sabin. The platform practically abandons prohibition. The resolutions adopted were'as follows: That In going into another general election it is admissible to call public attention to the fact, as a the two.great political parties, that the campaign flnima of the.

Democratic in the election of 1892 have proved fa! nnd "the claims made by the Republican party ha've proven true. Not au allegatioir made the Buuocrutic party a to the law orrcei procity; not a claim of the vaunted good results of Democratic success has come the withholding of pensions of Uiiiou soldiers, in business paralysis, in mills-and manufactures closed. In suspended banks, in bankrupt firms, iu the distress of farmers, in the growing multitude of tramps, in falling wages of -thousands of working discharged from oaploymqnt, in. the monetary stringency, in the prerail- lughard tlnic-a and public distress, arc theful- fillment of what Republicans predicted with historic warrant as to the known capacity of the Demopratic party. That the establishment of the policy of reciprocity in trade; espeeiallv between the United States and the other countries of the new world, was a distinctive and benefi-.

cent measure of RepubUcMA statesmanship, promising great good to this nation 1 and we regret and deplore that it has had to pose from the brilliant and resolute statesmanship of James U. Blaiuc into the unfriendly bunds of futile If ug- and hostile Democrats. That when President Clevelaim said in his recent message to Congress that our. unfortunate financial plight with.lhe evil conditions he depicted are ju-incfpallr chargeable to congressional legislation touching the purchasing- and coinage of silver by the general government, he omitted the largest producing cause. This is tbe sinister effect of -the threatened attempt to overthrow protection and a protective tariff, as embodied iu the wise measure kuovvn as the McKinlcy law, and so close American manufactories and overwhelm, the industries that give profitable -employment to American capital and American labor.

That it is of prime importance to all the American popple that a sound currency shall be maintained of uniform purchasing-power; that we are in wvor of maintaining both gold and silver as tender for the payment of debt, and in doing this: Congress shall provide that every- dollar; waether gold, silver or paper, shall be kept of equal value. -That we are opposed to state bank money any of that system of local shin-plaster and wild-cat cr.rrencv wiic-h proved so disastrous in the past: that one of the great ends for which the Republican party exists has been, and is, to rnaintaiu'the freedom, dignity and welfare of labor and those who toil That we rejoice in the wages that have been paid to American working people uuder Republican policies and we deplore as one of the arst and inevitable results of Democratic success, and Usability to establish Its policies, that ft has already led to a large reduction of the wages paid to American labor. That it is of the highest importance to working people that their 'wages shall be paid to them in money of full value and high purchasing power, so that they shall be able to supply themselves iu every market with the necessities and comforts of liie. We denounce cheap aud depreciated" monev of low purchas- ring-power as au especial hardship upon the poor and all who receive wages. The resolutions stronglv commend President Harrison's administration and continue: That it is our nclief that the assault madeupon the system of pensions by this administration In a few cases pensions wefe alleged to be fraudulently obtained is a pretext to attack and destroy the whole system, and is a menace to the honor of our brave aud deserving national defenders.

That prohibiUqn Is no test of Republicanism. The General Assembly has given to the state a prohibitary law as strong as any that has ever been, enacted by auv country. Like any other criminal statute its or repeal must be determined by the General Assembly elected by and in sympathy with the people, and to them is relegated the subject to take such action as' they may deem just and best in the matter of maintaining the present law, as'to those portions of the state where it is now or can be made efficient, and to give the localities such methods of controlling and regulating the liquor traffic as will best serve the cause of temperance and morality.

They account for this in two ways.

First, thev it is due to the scarcity of- money and the hardtiines. Then there is a change in the character of the people who are now coming. At the opening of the fair the visitors were largely from the large cities and now those from the rural districts are beginning to Never before has there been such a rush for admission gates as to- dav. surface car arriving-' after 7:30 was jammed with fair visitors and all along the line the transferred passengers were waiting for foot-room on a car platform.

They Successfully Hold Up a St iouls San Francisco Train. ST. Louis, Aug. 17 Atlantic express of the St. Louis San Francisco Railroad, tram No 4, due to amve here at 6 30 JL.

3r, was held up at 3 10 this morning at St. James, 100 miles south west of here, by two men, and the express car robbed. The express service on this road is in the hands of the Wells Fargo Company and as most of their business is through business of an important character, the haul is believed to be a good one E. Ferguson, the messenger in charge of the car is unable to give any estimate of the amount secured. How much the robbers got is not known as the express company's em- ployes refuse to talk.

It seems that the two men got on board the train at Rolla tank, a watering station, hiding betw een the tender and express car Whentwb miles from St James they cleared awav some chicken coops and other matter on the platform and forced taeir way through the front door of the car Once inside, before the surprised messenger, Ferguson, could collect himself, thev overpowered him, took his revolver and in a few moments they compelled him to open the way safe, from which they abstracted the valuables. A sharp pull on tbe bell cord brought the engine to a halt, the robbers opened the side door of the car and inmpmg out inade their escape in a northerly direction, a few shots they left the car to cow the trainmen and passengers. The train was rqn to St. James, from which point the officials of the express company and road were advised. Posses immediately started for St.

James and Roily Junction in pursuit. Neither of the robbers was masked and were shabbily dressed. They wore beards which may have been -false. Coming on, the train arrived here 8:30, two hours late. Messenger Ferguson reported to General Agent Connor, but both refused to say a- word to reporters regarding the robbery.

HUGGED BY A RANEE. Two tittle Boston Girls Have a Jolly Time With the Maharajah's Wife. -following note was received by the Ranee yesterday afternoon. DEAB PEIXCESS: Would you please see two little girls who want to know what a reaT live princess is like? ETHEI. AXD BEEIHA AKGELL.

The response came in the form of the smiling, gracious presence of Mian Aziz Bakshsh the Revenue Minister, who found the writers of the' little note waiting in the parlors below the royal suite. He gavelis hand to each of the children, and himself escorted them into the presence of royalty, where they were entertained by the entire retinue. iThe Princ'ess ordered peaches and plums to be served, and with her own hands cut and prepared the peaches for the children, with whom she seemed verv much pleased. Ethel says: "Oh, she has such beautiful jewels on her hands, and she just hugged and kissed us, and they all smiled, and talked with us just as anybody would, orily they are so lovely, arid the Princess is so sweet and.beauti- ful and kind. "I know no one ever sita down till royalty is seated, so when the men with the wfiite turbans came in one after another I didn't know which was King, so I waited till they all had taken seats before I sat down.

King came in last of all. He smiled at us kindly, and then began reading his newspaper. But he kept looking up and siriihng. After a while the Princess ordered a servant to bring gold coins, which he did, handing them to the Minister, who in turn handed them by the Princess's wish to us. See, ain't they lovely?" Then the Minister returned the chuV drento their inotber and friend, who waited in the" parlor below.

Each child grasped in one hand a peach and in the other the precious coins, which are heavy, pure- with wonderfully raised inscriptions. Mian Bakshsh explained that one was 50 vears old, and was from the province of Punjama, while the other was coined 150. years ago. In return for the shower of thanks the honored little party Mian Bakshsh graciously affirmed that the pleasure was theirs, and dismissed them a smiling "Don't mention it" and cordial Boston Globe.
