Republican papers and politicians
seem incapable Of approaching eourte-

he did not take up space in reaffirming
his civil service views in his message,
they are free with taunts of inconsist-
ency. The president has made up his
record On that subject-he went far be-
You'd any Republican president in re-
ducing it to practice, and no further
legislation was proposed. TO repeat
his views and refer to their introduce
ton in the public service, at this time,
would have the appearance of debating
to his successor-or, perhaps, suggest
of distrust in his professions. Courtesy

MASON CITY, To-, Dec. 12.-The towns
along the Central Iowa are much inter
ested in the policy that is to be adopted
by the Iowa Central railway company.
If there is to be change every trunk
line in the state running east and west
will be affected, as the Central is most
valuable feeder. December "a meet
ing will be held in Chicago and perma-
nent officers for the road will be elected.
If is probable that Stickney will be con-
tinued as president, although it is
known that he fayors making the road
a sole feeder for the Chicago, st. Paul

who has controlling interest in the
Central, will probably insist that it shall
be opened as an independent system.

pended for betterments. This is good
news to the towns along the line, as it
means an infusion of new life and yigor
