RECIPROCITY IN POLITICS.
Iowa Prohibitlonists viii Amalgamate
with tho HepubIicnns

M1NNEAPoLIs, MIMI, July ga spc-
cial to the Journal from Des Moines, Iowa,
says that within the past few days facts
have drifted to the surface In Iowa politics
which would not render it surprising if the
prohibition ticket were withdrawn from the
field. That negotiations have been pending
for some time between the republican and
prohibition leaders looking toward an
amalgamaton Of tho two parties none deny
A circular has been issued by Thomas Or
wig, the acknowledged leader of the prohi-
bitionists, in which he hints that, in view Of
the fact that this republicans have in times
past assisted the prohibtionsts all in their
power, a return Of the compliment would
now be In order.
His circular is now tho topic of conversa-
ton in the campaign, aud it has led the
democratic press Of the state TO make the
bold assertion that the republicans have sold
their party to the cold water men.

Interpretation, and that is that he
was engaged in extorting money from
Federal employees for political pur-
poses, under threat of disturbance in
their situations. This is a penal
offence under the United States stat
utes, and 1t seems to us highly proper
that there should be a legal investiga-
ton as to whether Mr.. Carr is guilty
or innocent of it.
If Mr.. Carr is innocent he ought to
be eager for an enquiry, which would
clear him of the odium. II he is
guilty. it seems to us the duty, not
only of the Federal officials, but of
the Democratic County Committee to
see that he is punished. Somebody
should take the World reporter before
United States Commissioner Romaine
and swear out a warrant for Mr..
Cars arrest. Then the facts could
be properly established.
This is a good year to dispose of this
scoundrelly business of levving on
DOC United States employees. Next
year it will doubtless be tried on an
enormous scale if it is not checked
meanwhile.

How She Won Her Model Husband.
Last winter the Memphis Sunday
Times offered a prize Of $50 to the
young woman who should write the
best letter or essay on 1.-THE Model
Husband.n Miss Lillian B. Perry. of
Covington, thirty miles north of this
city, won the prize. The letter was
copied in the Minneapolis Tribune,
where Fremont Reed, a banker and
rich business man OF that city, saw it.
He much admired the beautiful senti-
ments. Going to New York, he came
across the letter reprinted in one of
the metropolitan journals. Reaching
Chicago on his return. he read the
prize letter in a Chicago paper.
BY this time he felt sure
that his fate was interviewer
with that of the fair unknown
essayist. Mr., Reed wrote to her, ask
ing to be allowed to correspond. She
answered no letters OF this kind, hav-
ing received many. Mr.. Reed was
persistent and wrote d second letter
and enclosed endorsements. and Miss
Perry then consented to correspond
with her. unknown admirer. Later
Mr.. Reed visited her. A second visit
ended in a promise to be his wife. To-
day he arrived in this city, and this
afternoon they were married at the
brides home. Mr.. Reed is rhirty-five
years old and handsome. the bride
is a typical Southern beauty. the
daughter of a once wealthy family inn
poyerished by the war, and, though
reared in a country town, is a young
oma of rare accomplishments.
