The Cedar Rapids Gazette sayE-
THE republican party is in danger
unless 1t shall do one Of two things,
viz: secure the cooperation OF the
Farmers Alliance or let 60 Of pro-
hibition." ITO let 60 Of prohibition
would lose the party as much rs 1t
would gain. All prohibitionists are
not OF the J. Ellen Foster stripe;
there are many who have voted with
the republican party because they
honestly believed it favored the meas
ure. These it would lose without as
surance that those who left because
Of its advocacy Of this measure would
return.
To secure the cooperation Of the
Farmers Alliance Is still more
formidable Undertaking. Its men,
beers as rule are men Of thought.
They have espoused certain meas
ures whose enactment into law they
believe essential to their business
welfare and to the welfare Of the
country. To bring the republican
party into harmony with these meas
nres will require change Of heart as
great as that Of Saul Of Tarsus.
The Fla mers' Alliance demands the
abolition Of the national banking
system; the substitution Of green
backs, or, which is the same thing,
treasury notes for the bank circula-
ton; the unlimited coinage Of silver;
the issue Of postal currency; govern
ment loans to the people on terms
somewhat similar in rates Of interest
to that given to the national banks.
Does the Gazette know Of any promi-
nent republican leaders ready to es-
pouse these measures?

The magic square was held In great
generation among the Egyptians and
dedicated to the then seven known plan
cts in various ways. To Saturn they A.
tributed tho square Of nine places, the
side being three and the sum OF the
numbers in every row being fifteen. To
Venus they attributed the square have
given. Finally, they attributed to God
the square Of only ono cell, the side Of
which is only unit, which, multiplied
by !tself, undergocs no change. Tho
ancients having used these magic
squares for various purposes, they be-
came subject Of consideration among
mathematicians; not because they I'M
agined that they would be Of any solid
use or advantage, but rathcr as kind
Of play in which the difficulty makes the
merit. II your young readers want .
little recreation in the com bination Of
figures, let them make large square in
which there are $50 smaller squares, and
place in those smaller squares al
the numbers from to ESQ in such
manner rs will answer the following
conditions: 1. The sum OF the sixteen
numbers in each column or row, verti-
cal or horizontal, to be 2,O56. ?. Every
half column, vertical or horizontal,
makes 1,O2S, or one-half the sum OF
2,05a 8. Half . diagonal ascending
added to half . diagonal descending
makes also tho same sum-2,05G, taking
these half diagonals from the ends Of
any sides of the squares to the middle
of It, and SO reckoning them either
upward or downward. or sideways from
right to left, or from left to right. I.
The Same with all the parallels to the
half diogonals, rs many as can be drawn
In the great square; for any two of them
being directed upward and downward,
from the place whcro they begin to that
where they end, their sums will
make the same, 2,058. 8. II square
hole equal in breadth to four Of tho
iietle squares be cut in . paper,
through which any OF the 10 little
squares in the great square may be
seen, and the paper be laid upon the
great square, the sum Of all the 10 num-
bers seen through the holo is always
equal to 2,O56, tho sum Of the 10 num-
bers in any horizontal or vertical
column.
/ am not prepared to say whether
there is more than one correct way of
placing the numbers which will fulfill
the above conditions, but can assert
that II q thousand people now COM
mence to arrange the figures they may
work all their lives, and each OF them
form square . minute, and although
every combination may be different,
they will not have completed one

The American people are too far
along in the present century with its
spirit of freedom in thought and indi-
vidual action to return to the intel
erance, bigotry and persecution Of
the past; and efforts in that direction
only tend to show how far behind the
progress Of the age is he. who, in the
sacred name of religion, invokes it's
aid. In neighboring town q few
days since a paper was circulated
among the business men Of the place
to close their respective places Of bus
ness at 1:15 p. m., out Of respect and
in Difference to series of revival or
so-called religious meetings in prog
ress. One of the tradesmen of the
place declined to sign the paper or to
close his store for the very good rea-
son that farmers out q few miles are
In for nails and material nearly every
evening in fixing their sheds, barns
and buildings for winter, being too
busy with such work to spare the
time in the day. To the gentleman
circulating the paper for signatures,
the reason assigned was deemed suf-
ficient and justified the action OF the
gentleman declining to sign. The
clergyman, however, in his discourse
that evening arraigned the one who,
for satisfactory reasons to the person
applying for his signature had de-
clined to give his name, threatening
him with loss Of business from those
whom he denominated Gods PEG.

presidents of an age that the flight

JustiAahle Killing.

The jury in the case Of the State Of
Iowa, VS.. J. J. Grinnell. charged with
the murder Of Geo, w. Cornell, in
April last, at North McGregcr, after
a half hours deliberation brought in
q verdict of acquittal. The defence
was insanity. We approve the ver-
dict, but condemn the plea in de-
fence. A mans home is his castle. It
is moral and legal right to maintain
it sacred against ruthless invaders
who despoil it and its sacred associ-
atoms. II the invader comes there
as Cornell did to debauch the wife,
the plea should be justiflable killing
and proof of the crime Of the invader
Of the home all that is necessary to
acquit. We like to call things by
their right names as fully as the En-.
glish language will permit. The man
who invades the homes Of the land,
debauching Its inmates is Is much
the enemy Of mankind as q rabid dog
and deserves the same fate.

Pilot Grove Correspondence.

In every community are to be found
. few so-called leading Republicans
who, as fulfillment Of their part in
the republican political programme,
devote themselves to the work Of dis
pensing comfort e. cold sort Of COM
fort) to the over-burdened tillers Of
the soil.
Wherever . son Of toll offers a re-
monstrating word against the wicked
class legislation Inflicted upon the
country by the republican party,
these CONSIDERS deal out to him about
the following jargon: Farmers are
prospecting and making money. ia
farmer does not get along and make
money it is because he talks politics
too much. Farmers are getting big
price for corn and oats and they
ought not to complain
Last year these same men sought
to comfort the farmer on the extreme
~ low price for his cereals by the
cry Of lover production and this
year we hear congratulations extend
ed to the farmer on account Of the
so.called big price paid for the
cereals produced by farmers.
As regards corn and oats, compar-
ing last year with this, we arrive at
the conclusion that last year the
farmers Of the country produced q
full crop and received for it half q
price, and this year half crop and q
full price. Comments on. the prices
paid for cattle and hogs are unneces-
sary, as every farmes knows too well
the serious situation. The farmer
will be in no mood to receive con-
eratulations till he shall receive a full
price for full crop,-and this can
come only through reversal Of the
financial policy OF the last twenty
years, and the circulating medium
proportioned to increasing popula-
ton and the wants of business.
Are farmers prosperous! is a ques-
tion Of vital importance to every
farmer, and to every man whose
business is directly or indirectly de-
pendent upon the prosperity OF the
farmer. With the above question in
view, J. r. Sovereign, Iowa's able
and conscientious Commissioner OF
Labor Statistics, sent out. early this
year, q series Of questions to some
1900 intelligent and practical farmers
selected throughout Iowa. In an
swer to two Of these questions these
correspondents almost unanimously
report that the generalrange Of farm
products have sold below the cost OF
production since 1885, and that there
has been no profit on the labor Of
hired men since 1885.
Our legislature should have pro-
vided for the placing Of Sovereign's
Statistical reports in the hands OF
every farmer in Iowa, but, on the
contrary, it is only reasonable to con.
clude that republican oppressors and
suppressors will do all in their power
to smother these valuable reports.
