The letter of Senator Bolter of Harrison Guuutj, repuiiiauiijt uuica uu policy of the democratic party nationally and In Iowa, is the' most important "devel opment of the campaign in this state. Ben a tor Bolter has been one of the ore-r most democratic, leaders, in Iowa for a quarter of century, taring been almost continuously In the legislature, either in the senate or in the house; for twenty years, and bavins frequently been conspicuously considered in connection with the governorship, as be was this year. His letter' to. Chairman Scott, of the populist state central committee, which is published in this is -a -serious and alarming fact for the 'democratic managers to Senator Bolter stood with Boies pn the free silver pledges of the democratic platforms oflSDl and 1S32, to which the latter in his letter of acceptance -of the nomination for gov- ernor two years ago added his personal approval, with the demand that silver be restored" to the condition in -which it stood before the'act of 1ST3, that is, free coinage at the ratio of 16- to Senator -Bolter was in favor of those platform' pledges because be claimed to be in -favor of the policy 'which they He went before the people as a democratic candidate, proclaiming that those platform "pledges meant what they said and what they implied free silver. He, like Gov.

Boies and other candidates, asked and received the votes of electors who did believe in free silver but he, nn-like -Gov. Boies, stands tod ay on those, pledges, without. repudiation, without double dealing, without straddling, without the cowardice of an attempt to "dismiss" the issae from the attention of -the people. He declares that those democrats who were sincere in the pledges which the Iowa democracy wrote in its platform have! now "come ts the parting of the ways," that "a political revolution is upon us," and that v-the day for separating the sheep -from the goats, or rather from wolves, draws near." He spurns the proposition, which Gov. Boies was at such: pains to emphasize in his opening speech of the campaign and in his subsequent speeches, that "no national issues need apply for.

consideration," and he significantly suggests, now that the democratic party is in power, he finds that "power of patronage seems to be greater than even a crown." -Thousands of Iowa democrats- feel exactly as Senator Bolter does," They were sincere, they believed that their party was sincere and they had no -doubt that Boies was sincere-; when the pledges to- the policy of free silver -coinage were not only made, but also made basis of appeal to electors for support. They find now that these pledges were made by confederated party managers in utter and calculating insincerity, that the democratic machine in this state' stands with President Cleveland in financial policy i that the machine this ear abandoned the free silver pledges of the party by "a straddling platform and that Gov. Boies, standing with the. tricky machine, is promoting its purpose by attempting to "dismiss" the question from this election, in which he is really a candidate for United States senator, although nominally for governor. And now that so conspicuous a democratic leader as Senator Bolter has openly repudiated Gov.

Boies and the stultifying and treacherous management "which he 4 represents, it -cannot be "doubted that a multitude of democratic voters will do the same thing. They can choose nothing but the alternatives of repudiating the stultification of the party management or of stultifying themselves. AK OBS Tit CO TIOX. The appeals of Senators Palmer and Voorhees, who stand for unconditional repeal of the silver purchase' to the obstructionist senators to permit the majority of the senate to act are indeed pathetic as pathetic as preposterous. Their appeals were an express confession of the im? potence of the senate that is, the impotence of the democratic senate.

"I can see no end, to the discussion, and I know of no method by which it can be- terminated," was the impotent conclusion-, of Senator Palmer. it is." he Vtbe majority has not -the power to make a except by the consent of the lator Voorhees, the democratic leader in tLa senate, went deeper into the valley of -t amiliation.

On this- basis, what is to become of public business during the next two or four years? this basis had been accepted in what would have become of the union? Why, a dozen obstructionists by merely speechifying could have done more than all the armieB of Lee and Beauregard combined to I destroy the union. It would have destroyed the anion the firing of a confederate shot, because it would have prevented the anion from firing a shot or putting a squadron in the field. j-Wby was it not resorted to then? Simply because there was a republican ma jority in congress because a party was in power which acts, which' acquits itself of responsibility, which finds ways to execute the will of the majority because tho republican I party would not have brooked such preposterous Bat we have in power now a party whose motto is, 'You can't do a party of negation, a party which is itself organized obstruction, the democratic party. The confession which we have just heard from the' demo cratic party in the senate is the same con fession' of impotence which James' Buch anan, democratic president tof the United States, made in the face of the obstructing confederacy: there was. he pleaded, no power to remove; the obstrnction.

Well, the republican parry found ways to remove The democratic party, in the -last an alysis, is an obstruction, which, the 'people of the United find now, when it is too late for present purposes, they have put in the way of their own business. SHOULD MEET THE RESPONSIBILITY The country has become well enough satisfied that deliberation in the senate is nothing less than obstruction. This ob strnction is justified by the minority of that body on the ground that the legislation sought by the majority is bad legisla tion particularly that it Is legislation cal culated to work injury to the material in-; terests of certain states and sections of. the It is undoubtedly, true that but for the fact that the repeal of tire purchas ing clause of the Sherman act is held to be harmful to the interests of the' silver states the opposition would have before this been broken Senatorial courtesy stands in the way of cloture. It Cannot be known, of course, if cioture'sbould be permitted in one instance, how soon it' might be em ployed in a case involving interests repre- sen ted by.

other senators. Thus the powers of minorities would be lost. Th as senatorial courtesy would become of no personal ad vantage. Under this condition of things necessarily tne senate as a body is re sponsible for; the present spectacle of im potency; A just criticism cannot lodge ex clusively against the silver senators. They are doing no more' and no less than their re peal brethren would do in a like The history of the force bill in the jTiftv- first congress stands out conspicuously in the mind of every southern member.

The right of the minority to kill -by delay is a I v. f.v. A a. iL' vt a. I cherished right in the senate.

It will -not be surrendered now. The-view of the senate is that extreme resistance will not be resorted to except in extreme instances; and in such 'cases it is held to be doubtful if the interests of the country would be advanced by pressing-, down the; minority under the sheer weight of the Therefore it is thst the senate of the United States is the champion compromise legislative body of the earth. Strong measures are frequently passed in the house of representatives, but it is rare a measure of importance escapes the seuate without trace of compromise. The decisions of the people- in popular elections are by this nns much-, befogged. Platform declarations have a hard time of it.

and presidential Or administrative policies become scarcely recognizable by the time the courtesy of the senate has finished with them. One result of this, shown in many small ways, is that much unwise sectional and personal legislation slips by in conference and by courtesy. One thing can be said In favor of It, that much general legislation is defeated -that ought or had better be defeated. Hasty- measues, incapable of enduring the test of time, are by degrees put to sleep. On the other band.

however, legislation affecting -only individual interests the measure in whicb one or another senator may only have direct interest has a much wider and smoother field, a In other this method," while circumscribing the possibilities of all new and important legislation, makes much more convenient the way of the small scheme the compromise with the Individual. While the tendency in popular legis lative bodies may be said to be on the side of too much legislation, upon the side of crudity, -upon the" side of; hasty re sponse to -a temporary clamor, a cause for this may well be said to be the carelessness with which responsibility is assumed and put aside. In the matter of the great question now before the senate, for dealing with which congress has been convened in extraordinary session, the senate should 'act. The policy of the administration is either right or it is The country wants a vote upon that policy. The president or the congress will be approved or condemned as results may; appear to direct public judgment.

If the president were to a Sirmed, approval would much depend upon the next step he might propose or sanction. Repeal cannot be the end. It can only.be a move towards an end As it is the administration is being held up, though the democratio majority in the senate is five and in the house eighty-four. This is a humiliating spectacle. Cleveland had his warrant and his indorsement from the people less than a' year ago.

The senate should enable Mr. Cleveland to meet his responsibility." The democratio party should meet its responsibility The people are impa-tienl for an." understanding. They want to -know, what the democratic party" will do. Thev want opportunity to pass upon that action. They want, to see Its fruits and by its-fruits to jodx it righteously.

Me Kepadiates the J'rofrramme of Gov. Ltoies and the 'Democratio Managers in Iowa. Senator L. R. Bolter, of Harrison county, has given the following letter to R.

G. Scott, chairman of the populist state cen tral committee; Loo ah, Oct. 3, 18D3. Hon, R. G.

Scott, Des Moines, Io. Dear Sir: Your kind letter of the 20 tb inst. duly received, and all must admit the truth of what you. say. Yes, we have come to a parting of tbe ways.

A political revolution is upon us. The lines are rapidly forming -but are not yet 60 distinct as to xs visible to the unaided eye. Tbe day for separating the sheep from the goats, or rather from tbe. wolves, draws great question now is whether our systeaj. of government shall be plutocratic or democratic.

The American people are today tbe greatest debtor people on the earth and these debts, though represented in different forms, are largely held by Groat To adopt a single gold standard at this time and under such circumsfances would be equal to, aye worse than, placing a British guard over every house. The fraud of 1873, miscalled an act of congress, should unconditionally and without time to'debate be repealed. Nor should congress stop here. A full legal tendor paper money should at once be provided for and enough issued, directly by the government, not only to relieve the present stringency, but sufficient in quantity to do the vast business of the country on a "pay as you go" principle. The stupendous crime of placing chattel mortgages on children not yet born, by issuing bonds payable for future generations, should -not only forever hereaf cer cease, but any attempt so to do should be regarded and punished not as a high dismeanor 'merely, but as a cowardly and wicked felony.

1 am a candidate for no office whatever, nor do I ever again expect to be, hence this is not sent to captivate the populace merely. Nor is it a new born zeal nor a recent inspiration, for all who know me best are well aware that these have been my ft expressed sentiments long before there was a greenback party, long before- there was any party formed pledging itself to such principles. Had always hoped and believed, however, that should the democratic party, in whose cause I have faithfully labored all my manhood's years, come into power, it would adopt'these or similar measures at once or without unnecessary delay. I find. the power of patronage now seems to be greater than even a crown: We are in the midst of such a financial drought as never overshadowed the republic before.

Under the present conditions it is clear that all mortgaged houses must go. Tens of thousands of, homes that are mortgaged, but whose owners are in debt, must also-be swallowed up by the same insatiable maw if the present situation continues for even a few months or at most a few years. This is admitted by all. What remedy is proposed? In Washington we are told by leading men of both parties that the remedy lies in making money still the unconditional repeal of tbe Sherman act 1 i In Iowa we are informed by very high authority that no national issues need apply for consideration, that we really have no voice or influence whatever over these great and pressing questions, that all our ills in this state lie on the gateway of the beer keg issue, that if relief shall come at all, it must come through the bung of the beer barrel, that if we can only get proper legislation on this, then will the rocks not only pour forth rivers of but we shall be enabled to wash our weary feet, not in butter, but in beer Thanking you for your kind invitation to enter the canvass, will say I am not yet in a situation where my work, such as you suggest, would be of value to the cause. Having been a -democrat all mv life, and claiming the above expressed views to be in lull accord i with true democracy, as indi cated by its patriotic founders, its platforms and all its sacred traditions, i shall prefer to be classed and known as such.

If, how ever, you will kindly send me some of those speeches, such as the one you sent me (it was a good- one) I will distribute them to such as in my judgment still adhere to this doctrine, whicn -I conceive is the democratic faith; i Truly and Tery respectfully, yours, L.

Then "why don't the democrats repeal 'the Sherman law Thev are in the maioritv' in both houses of the democrats of Iowa "probably." want the election laws repealed, do tbeyt does Gov. Boies' stand on this question? If the senate of the United States were created and existed nTerely to execute the wiu or tne president or to give ercect to commands of Wall street, there would be warrant for the demand that it shall with out further, pass the bill providing for the repeal of a the purchasing clause of the Sherman act.

3 Special: Judge Edger- ton took occasion to read the riot act to the officer of his court during the term ot court just held in Between the disposition of cases he made inquiries of tbe United States attorney why certain parties bound over by the commissioner at Chamberlain had not been brought before tbe grand jury at Pierre. Mr. Miller informed him that the commissioner had bound the parties over to tbe Sioux Falls term instead. Tb9 judge with considerable feeling then stated that there was only one district known to the law in South Dakota, and that every criminal case must be bound over to the first term of the court, no matter at what citv that term to he held- Thf K.j 1 ujui iiiujseii io say to wnafr point a party should be bouud over, and that no officer of his court could dictate where a man should be bound nnr to. He doubted if parties bound over to a term of the court at anv particular tim mnii nlane could be held under their bond.

tie further stated that on nnmArrmp fto- casions he bad been uujustlv criticised for the short terms of court held in Pierre and Dead wood. The facts were that he intended to set nnH i.o -i im. partially in the matter and used Pierre, Dead wood and Sioux Fails all alike.

He thought, with the present arrangement for holding terms of court, that tbe term of court at Pierre would naturally have more business brought before is than either Dead wood or Sioux Falls, as the longest interval elapsed between a previous term of the court and the Pierre term.

Chicago Inter Ocean 1 If anyone had told John C. Calhoun that it was well in the range of possibility that some day or other Great Britain and Egypt should utilize the pauper Jlabor. of the lands of the Pharaohs and the Moguls in the production of cotton at a cheaper rate than it can be grown in the Carolinas or in Georgia or Mississippi, the great nullifier would have regarded him as insane. But the imposi-Ls become ble to Calhoun fact in his grandson's day. Last year very nearly 44,000,000 pounds of raw cotton were Imported into th United States.

Meanwhile, the eouthesn planters are complaining of the low prise of the fiber." The imports of cotton in) the United States have more than doubled in quantity and in value during the past thjree years, and are likely to accelerate their rate of To prevent further depreciation of the value of America cotton fiber an increased borne market is nteded for it. But to any increase of tie borne market the southern planters! have been steadily opposed. The home market for raw cotton depends upon the home market for cotton cloth, and this depends upon the existence of a large and well to do body of Americans who need cotton cloth, and who are able to pay for it. But tbe south has voted steadily against! the policy that alone can build jj npl American mills and factories operatii by well paid artisans; it has voted steadily against the policy that; has. made a home market for.

the American farmer. It has voted steadily for a. policy of eheap labor, cheap grain, cheap meat, cheap wool, cheap iron, and dear" cotton! Cotton, as the south fondly believed, enjoyed natural and the south selfishly resolved to prevent the north from-'en joying by legislative means such protection as it believed nature had irrevocably bestowed upon the chief product of its own soU. The advent of foreign grown cotton to American markets may do more toward enlightening the south concerning the falsity of free trade doctrines than all the arguments that have been made in congress or ostside of it. Thousands Upon Thousands.

Dubuque Telegraph, dem, State Senator Bolter, wh.orecently failed of renomination in the Harrison county district, has abandoned the democratio and joined the populist party. hile tbe senator's change is attributed to disappointment, it is quite probable that it is chiefly the result of conviction, i Mr. Boiler is an ardent friend of free coinage, and as a member of the populist party he will be in congenial company. But. for the fact that they earnestly desire the substitution of license for prohibition in localities where the existing law is repugnant to public opinion and thousands nponf thousands of democrats who two years sTgo supported Gov.

His grandfather-once, as judged declared' 'that, a state government had the to open -the United States mails to jrevent the circulation of newspapers opposed to slavery, but Henry beats the old geat by a heavy score, Senator Butler's Declaration Regarding Silver Repeal. SUBSTITUTE FOR TUCKER BILL Northern Democrats Thought that the Elections Was Too Sweeping and a Milder One Is formulated to Take its l'lace Congressional Proceedings iu Detail, WeHrsGTos, Oct. 4. When the senate met this morning there were by actual count one democrat and six republicans present. some delay a quorum was secured.

Senator Morgan reported from tbe foreign relations committee a bill making appropriations to enable the secretary of the treasury to. enforce tbe Chinese exclusion act. Referred. Senator Morgan offered a resolution, which went over, instructing tbe committee on judiciary to report what provisions, if any, of the coinage act of January, 1837, were now in force. A resolution by Senator Dolph calling for information as to pensions paid persons residing in foreign countries was agreed to.

The repeal bill was then taken up, and Senator Butler, democrat, of South Carolina, addressed tbe senate. He said it was apparent that it was the purpose of tbesa senators who favored the bill to force it through the senate without regard to or consideration of tbe rights of the minority "fee minority of the senate," he said, "are not attempting to coerce anybody and don't intend to be coerced themselves. There is no despotism so oppressive as the'despotism of a majority unrestrained. "I am asked," Baid Butler, "what is to be done? I reply, compromise; compromise is tne solution or the struggle. we are told that compromise means defeat a surrender to the majority.

Compromise is the very essence of our form of government. Not a measure which is contested in this house or the other becomes a law except as a result of com promise. Butler denied that there had been filibustering on the repeal bill and ridiculed the idea that tbe proceedings of the opponents of repeal were revolutionary or treasonable. He then took up tbe alleged interference of the president in legislative matters. He could not believe that tbe president had attempted to use bis high omco to influence legislation.

Senator Blackburn addressed tbe senate in opposition to tbe bill. He said he was a bimetallist in tbe broadest and truest sense of the word. Repeal of ths Sherman law would not cure the troubles under which the country labored. Tbe tariff system must be revised and tbe prohibitive features eliminated. Wider markets must be obtained for the products of labor.

Tbe financial system must be remedied. Gold and silver must be made standards, and paper money based upon them and issued direct by the government and not filtered through the agents of petted and fostered national banks. The 10 per cent, tax on state, bank currency must be repealed. Tbe government must be economically administered and tbe pension list purged of peculation and fraud. Blackburn had but one condition to impose upon compromise.

Unlock the doors of the mints to tbe silver metal. The people are demanding a settlement of tbis question. Blackburn then entered into a long defense of the administration. Senator Call spoke in opposition to the bill, and the senate adjourned. 15 THE HOUSB.

In the house today after the presentation of several resolutions Mr. Peel, from the committee on public lands, reported adversely Mr. Bowers' resolution calling on tbe attorney general for information as to whether tbe United States could be made a party to the cases of the Southern Pacific now pending to dispossess settlers in California. Tbe house passed a joint resolution expressing to the foreign governments participating in tbe world's fair celebration tbe acknowledgments of congress. Under call of committees Mr.

Oates reported tbe bankruptcy bill and Mr. Mo-Creary reported a substitute for the Everett bill amending the Geary exclusion act. After rather a heated debate on the propriety of recognizing war claims of the class of which a portion had been paid by the confederate government, the elections debate was resumed by Mr. Compton, of Maryland, in support of the measure. Mr.

Sweet, of Idaho, denounced Cleveland for his course on the silver question, and 6aid that Andrew Johnson was nearly impeached for acts less odious. Cleveland imagined himself a dictator. Mr. Lane, of Illinois, maintained that armed men at the polls thould be withdrawn now and forever. Mr.

Murray, colored republican from South Carolina closed the day's debate. "If I owe allegiance to this government," said he, the government Which squeezes my life blood out in taxes owes protection to me. The guardian of state sovereignty is again hovering about the dome of tbe capitoL I submit that armed men with rifles and shotguns who stand at the ballot box murder or terrorize us, to prevent us from voting, are as much armed enemies of Tihe United States as an invading army." Just before the house adjourned Chairman Fitch, of the committee reporting the bill, introduced a substitute which strikes out that section of the revised statutes empowering the military to keep peace at the polls, and repealing all laws regarding the appointment df supervisors or deputy marshals. The substitute would leave in force the election laws relating to tbe punishment of private individuals for bribery, and above all leaves in force the declaratory principles of the fifteenth amendment. The northern after an in formal conference, decided that the Tucker bill was too sweeping, and this substitute was formulated to meet the objections.

A man who went to sleep in a bath -tub filled with water, and led the people in the bouse to believe that he had drowned, created no little excitement yesterday morning. The Jboase is occupied by Gets New. A boarder in the house, is Wm. Schults. Miss New noticed that Schnlts remained long time in the bath room.

Tbe neighborhood was aroused and two small boys were lifted op on a stable, from the roof of which a glimpse could be gotten of the interior of the room. After a hurried look the boys descended, and blanched faces told the people on tbe ground that the man was lying drowned in the tub. The word was sent to tbe police station, and Sergeant Peter Mc-Mahon was dispatched to the scene. Sergeant McMahon beat on the door with his club, and receiving no answer, burst open tbe door. He walked to the- tub to pull' -out the apparently lifeless bodv, and just as he did so Schaltz, who had been asleep, with bis head resting on the incline of the tub and his body submerged, opened bis eyes and asked, "What is all tbis?" tne presiawg juuge.
