North and no rising against the GoVerhmeht loi-
lowed"
Upon returning from the War. where he served
for three years, General Jones started his sKae
works" at Binghamton lie sells his scales 10
farmers and therefore, asslduously cui'lNd'cs
their acquaintance For years he has pcen 'ls-
tor at all the State and the chlei county laliS
held in this State. II was because ol his military
record and his friendships with farmers 'hau hc
was nominated for Lieutenant-"oNerhof III io''
by the Democratic party. and renonnhaieu pN 'he
same party in 1883. Since he became Lieu'eii""'-
Governor he has made a large number of addresses
at county fairs. lie frankly says he is cahdi-
date for the Democratic nomination for Governor
in 1891 and asserts that he will have the sup
port Of the Democratic farmers. General Jones
was Republican up to 1872, then became Lib
eral Republican, and finally joined the Democratic
party. He is a eood-natured and fair-empercd
man, with so much Republican blood in his veins
that he cannot at times act as presiding oficer IN
the Senate with as much partisanship as his Dem
ocratic associates desire At these times there fol-
low criticism on the side and excuses on the
other until General Jones' 10 prove that he is
loyal Democrat, makes some decision against
the Republicans on a parliamentary point This
for time satisfies the Democrats. but the Re
publican Senators see with amusement that the
Democratic Senators always fear that the Lieu
terant-G overnor may forget himself at any moment
and be judicial presiding ofcer-to the advantage
Of the Republicans. II should be added that the
Lieutenant-Governor in his fervid attempts TO
show that he is a Democrat, has now ana then
made decisions against the Republicans which
hey have rightfully considered as outrageous
But in the main his decisions show that his long
education in the Republican party disables HIM
from being a Democrat of the David Il. Hill
stripe who. as Licutenant-Governor, seemed 10
think he represented only the Democratic party
and not the people of the whole State.

SENATOR WILSON on IOWA FARMS.

"Tbe Senator wants to know why
it 10 that Iowa has net cot the great
money fortunes that are p s,+ssed in
New England. mir. President, ]
mi ht ask the Sc n ator IL response why
a boy o! FIVE years of age has 10, tn
strength and endurance OF Il man in
his vigor. But the Senator from Ark
ansas need not shed tears owe; the
condition of loans in Iowa even, for
have here an extract from an Iowa
newspaper, the Delmar Journal, in re-
gard to mortgages in Clinton county,
which says:
The abstract of the mortgages on
farms in Clinton makes showing in
which the people OF the c"n t, may
take pardonable pride. Mr. +. A.
Miller, the census atstract,r, informs
US that not more than en- fifth of the
farms Of the county are mortynged,
and many Of them are drawing but j
to : per cent. interest.
Another curious fact you will find
in the towns in Iowa, and that is you
can scarcely go into one of the towns,
and especially the county seats and
the villages OF any considerable size,
where you do not find numbers Of
farmers and farmers families who
have retired from the farm and are
living on the result OF their industry
You will find an. ther fact which may
seem curious, and that is that in pro
portion to the amber of retired per
sons living upon their incomes tie
percentage of farmers is greater thar
that OF men from other departments
OF business.
cit was stated that in Iowa tn.
farm mortgages amounted to 1867,

profound conviction that it was no
true, and l set about to discover, |
possible, where the inventor of thi.
fals- hood obtained his data. Turning
to the compendium of the census o
