the association he's issued an address to the
dairymen calling attention TO some special
topics of interest to them, which ought to
be considered at this meeting. He suggests
that there are still some fraudulent products
put upon the market as genuine. That there
are some very poor articles of butter and
cheese sent out from Iowa that misrepresent
the dairy interests OF this state and injure
the standing of Iowa dairymen. In connec-

A BASE BALL WAR.


CmoAGo, Oct 2O.-A dispatch from Mime
apolls asserts ION good authority" that
Spaldng, of the Chicago league club, and
the managers OF the Boston club are backing
the brotherhood of Ball Players This, it Is
claimed, is the outcome of the proposition
made by johnny Ward, who found the
brother hood was not getting as much
financial backing as was necessary to put
their scheme into operation. He proposed
TO Spalding that the moneyed members of
the league advance money fer running the
clubs of Boston, New York, Chicago and
Philadelphia, and the brotherhood would
sustain tho clubs in the other four cities.
The agreement was reached. This means
that new brotherhood clubs will be an OFF
shoot of the league; also practically the dis
ruption OF the American association. A bit
ter war will be waged, apparently between
the rivals, but at the end of the playing
season the brotherhood and league will have
several dollars to divide among themselves
as the result of the scheme.

NEW YoRK, Oct. 20,-l Special Telegram to

corporation power in the country wrote
letter to Chauncoy NJ. Depew couple OF

"You know, friend Depew, that though l

This letter has just come TO light and reads
as follows:

vors in the way of passes but IL could get
an annual pass good until January over the

THE POSTAL SERVICE.
Plans Being Considered For Greatly
Improving ft.

Improving ft.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-TSpecial to The
BEE Postmaster General Wauamakers
forthcoming report is anticipated with much
concern in postal circles. 1t is expected to
make some original recommendations, es-
pecially in reference to the connection of the
postal system with the telegraph, an ex
tension of the free delivery service to cities
having S, 600 postal incomes annually, and
the construction of buildings at the expense
of the government for postoffices of the
second class. 1t will be remembered that
the last congress, introduced bill
providing buildings for second class
postofiices and that it went through the
senate with o whirl, but the economical
house cut the allowances for these buildings
down to about two-thlrds the amount pro-
vided in the Paddock bill and the measure
finally failed to secure completion. The
democrats wanted to give about sixteen or
eighteen thousand dollars for ground and
buildings in cities where second-class post
offices are located, anticipating charity on
the part of the citizens in the way of free
ground for the building
The republicans in the senate wanted to
make this amount nearer S25, 900 or $50, 900,
and held that il the people in any of
the cities wanted TO give the ground
they could simply get better building as
the full amount appropriated would be ex-
pended. There is very little doubt now that
the Paddock bill will go through both
branches of congress at the approaching
session. as it is one of the most popular
measures ever proposed 1t is not probable
that Postmaster General Wanamaker will
propose parcel post-a limited express sys-
TEN in connection with the postal service
but the subject will undoubtedly be agitated
by its friends.

The Inve,,Ig,tlng Report

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-The investigating
report proper, to which Commissioner Tan
ner in his interview refers, covers little
more than eighteen printed pages and is
dated September 8, 1855. The report says
there were no records in the pension office
showing specifically the number of cases
which had been re-rated during the period
suggested in the assistant secretary's order,
and that until the period commencing Sep
tember, 1888, the rerated cases were all in
cluded In the record among reissues
for all purposes. Commencing, however,
with September l, 1888, and con-
tinuiug through each succeeding month,
the certificate division has noted on its rec
ord all reissues OF certificates numbered
below III 600 those which mad been re'issued
for the purpose of corrections or changing
rate. On examination the board ascertained
that the issue of certificate No. 200
brought the work down TO about July /. 1880,
the date when the arrears act OF March 3,
1879. took effect, and IL also appeared that a
much larger proportion OF certificates issued
prior to that date had been re-rated than
those ISSUED subsequently.
The report, therefore, covers all cases
numbering below III, 900 rerated during the
months OF December, 1883, and January, Feb
ruary, March. April, May, June ana July,
1889. A statement showing the total number
OF cases rerated during the eight months
specified and also showing that in about 50
per cent of the total number of cases re-
rated, the rerating extends back 10 the date
OF the discharge, is given and the comment

substantial increase in the number of cases

An EXPLODED Sensation.

DEs MoiNEs, Ia, Oct 20-lSpecial Tele-
gram 10 The BEE. There was q startling
turn in state politics to-day, caused by the
publication of broadsde exposing the
democratic plot TO betray the farmers alli-
ance through the assistance of w. b. Ashby,
late lecturer of that organization.
Last Sunday he published a seven column
letter in a democratic paper hero attacking
the legislative record of Senator Hutchson,
the republican candidate for governor, claim
ing to cNme from the farmers standpoint. 1t
was announced broadcast by democratic
papers that this was an authoritative utter
ancc by the turner's alliance and presaged
landslide away from Hutchison. 1t now
appears that instead of being republican,
as claimed, Ashby is democrat and has
been secretly working against the party for
years, and during this time he has conspired
to sell out the farmers and betray the party
It is shown that last August he was urging
the nomination OF Hutchison, claiming he had
Investigated his record and that 1T was all
satisfactory to anti-monopolists. Since then
he has been seen by democrats ana now ne
writes seven columns to tell what bad man
Hutchinson Is. The terms of the considera-
tion that made this astonishing change IN
two months are not yet known. The article
also shows how Ashby has Oeen deceiving
the farmers while organizing alliances, and
had finally admitted that ho was in tho bnsi-
ness simply for the money he could make
out of it. There is also an indignant letter
from ex-senator McNutt, of Muscatine, one
of the original anti-monopollsts of the state.
He charges Ashby with trying to betray the
farmers to the railroads by assailing Senator
Hutchinson, who he says, ls one of tho tru-
est and safest men in public life, and he de-
mands that Ashhy be removed from his posi-
tion in the alliance. But inquiry shows
that this was done at the last me citing in
September when he was dropped from his
office. The expose closes Dy showing the
dishonesty of Ashley's alleged review of
Hutchisons record by its suppression of
the truth and false coloring. 1t Is shown
also that Senator Hutchison's record was
almost identical with Governor Larrabee' 8
when they were both in the legislature to-
gcther. Governor Larrabee is now the idol
of the ant-monopolists and therefore the
attack upon his former colleague bears on its
face the appearance of bargain. The eX
pose has created great CONSERVATION in
democratic circles and has knocked the bot
tom out of their main campaign reliance
The farmers alliance people are rejoicing al
this exposure of their late lecturer whom
they dropped, for cause, some weeks ago.

compelled to admit that its members are
comparatively free from bigotry-the great
vice of sectaries; that its doctrines are
mild, and its spirit universal in its
benevolence. No church does more
in proportion to its members in aleviating
the distress of the poor; and no church is
more earnest in its advocacy of individual
right-doing. Our observation has not
brought US in contact with any church that
exercises a greater influence for good over
its members by restraining them from evil.
The Mormon church has been misunder-
stood. Ignorance and superstition are not
the crutches on which it hobbies through
wretched existence; but it contains ele-
ments of truth which constitute its
strength, and which have enabled it to
weather every storm it has met in the past,
and justifes its friends in their confidence
in its ability to do so in the future. There is
no reason why the Mormon church should
go to pieces. BY the good it has &C
complished, as a reforming agency among
the tens of thousands of the children Of
men; by the spirit of universal charity
its doctrines and institutions:
by the strength and patience and faith it
has exhibited under circumstances the
most discouraging and dangers the most
it has proven its right to re
spectacle existence as clearly as any de
nomination of Christians on which Gods
sunlight falls; and when it shall be better
known, as it is rapidly coming to be, that
right will be as cheerfully accorded to it as
to any other church, and the world will
cease TO look for its disintegration. 1t
viii not be hoped for, or expected, neither
will it be desired.
