A Divided Party.

The Massachusetts Democrats have
declared against the free coinage OF
silver and have thus set themselves in
opposition to their party in the west
and south, as did also the Democrats
of New York. While aiming to con-
denim The Republican position on this
question they in effect really endorse
it, though it is necessary TO resort to
subterfuge 10 do so. Thus it will be
seen that Democracy is hopeiessly di.
vided on this ques ion, says the Mar
shalltown Times Republican. The
eastern faction is against it, and OPP
posed to it are the western and south
ern wings. The latter being the
greater force as 10 numerical strength
really represents the party sentiment
on this question. There are many
members OF the party in all the cen.
trial states opposed to free coinage;
yet at this particular juncture they
dare not express themselves. Cover
nor Boles Is one of this number who
occupies an equivocal position. These
Bourbons have not the courage Of
conviction and are lodging the issue.
1t may be said. however, that the
party as whole is committed
to free coinage. 1t has been amply
demonstrated that such a policy would
be an unsafe one to pursue under pres.
emf conditions. No more graphic or
powerful expression OF the difference
between the two great parties has
been made than that given by Secre-
tary Blaine in u recent but brief let.
Ter, in regard to the Ohio campaign.
He said the election OF the Republican
ticket means policy OF protection
and honest money, and the success Of
the other ticket means free trade aud
the corruption OF the currency. For this
reason no one who desires TO see our
industrial prosperity continued and
our excellent currency kept up to its
present high standard can afford to
encourage the Democratic party or To
assist it in gaining the slightest lease
OF power.

A Menace to Kansas Prosperity.

Eastern business men have an
especial interest in the coming state
election in Kansas. \ full list OF dis
leaders OF the Farmers Alliance are
making a despera attempt to secure
men OF Their peculiar stripe. The
Significance of this lies in the fact that
with these judges rests the completion
Of foreclosure cases. The Alliance is
pledging its candidates for the bench
to not order foreclosure sales. In
this way they hope to defeat the action
Of the law and compel holders OF mort
cages to wait a year or more beyond
the usual time before completing
foreclosure cases. Their success
would prove a serious injury to East
ern investors as we'll rs to the bust

and Democrats are joining on this one
issue against the Alliance.

There was not pound of ore in sight

the mine had been closed, Simeon

Congressman Dolliver addressed
the largest audience OF voters Friday

during his many visits to this county.

his own state and hold it up to the
east and the world as Il candidate for
the poor house was one OF thoSJ
blunders which Talleyrand said vera

Gov. Boies should have spoken so at
New York as to make every man

IA man with an impractical side would
have failed TO do it.
Secondly: That impractical phase
of his mind led him in his Cherokee
speech to imply that liquor selling
and drunkard- making were higher
law rights, a natural or divine right,
that the majority of the people must
not make laws against. This view Is
fallacious and impractical in every
way. The supreme court OF the
United States has not only settled the
law irreversibly the other way, but
Gov. Boies' statement makes futility
of his own argument for license. For
the courts have all held that license
is prohibition and so while Gov. Boies
argues for license law no at the
same time denies that the people can
make license law"

TREE CLIMBING RABBITS.
The Australian Rabbit Is Acquiring Nails
on Its Feet.


The effect upon animals of change
in the conditions of their life is fav-
orite topic among biologists and bio
logists, who find that nearly every
species OF animal existed in some other
than its present form at some previous
epoch of the world. The whale, for
instance, was once land animal.
Forced to take to the water for liv
ing. he became. in time, much moro
like fish in shape than like land
animal. According to Tasmanian
paper modification Of the form of a
familiar European animal is going on
in the Australiasian world under the
eye of the people there.
The Australian rabbit imported
from England, is acquiring nails GA
his feet and learning to climb. As Is
we'll known. the rabbits of Australia
have increased to such enormous
numbers that they have become a
great pest, swarming over the land
and devouring the farmers crops. In
order to protect their fields the farm
ers put up wire nettings in place of
fences. The rabbits could not get
through these, but they presently
beg.q to burrow beneath them. Then
the farmers sank the MEETINGS six or
eighth inches into the soil This
stopped the rabbits from getting in by
digging, but they presently began to
attempt to climb over the netting.
AS n result Of this climbing, it is said,
the rabbits are developing a nail in
their toes The nail development has
been noticed in Queensland and still
| later in Tasmania. According to the
| theory of natural selections, it is likely
presently to happen that in certain
/ districts only those rabbits will sur
| vive which can climb at least little,
and in this way u race of climbing
rabbits may be developed. Youths

Every school boy in the land
knows that animals for breeding pur.
poses are and have been imported
free OF duty. The farmers of this or
any other state have no use for i'm.
ported animals only as breeders.
Governor Boies admitted In his illus.
tration that Mr.. Wheeler imported
his horses for breeding purposes.
Knowing all this he presumed upon
the ignorance OF his audience and told
them that the infamous Mckinley
bill imposed tariff OF $50 head
which the farmers had to pay.
''Such misrepre sentation Is the
demagogy OF desperation. 1t betrays
hopeless case that cannot be sus.
tanned by argument or the logical
discussion or facts. Hence, the once
sef.respecting Mr. Boies abandons
fact and logic and proceeds to pettifog
and misrepresent in n manner that
would put to shame the commonest
liar OF last falls campaign.
The governor has been on the run
for several weeks, and the heartless
manner in which he has asserted truth

that he already considers himself ut

According TO Democratic ex-
change, which it is presumed made q

Wall Lake speech said in substance
that Wheeler paid $50 duty on every

used this statement to show that tariff

horses to sell TO western farmers in

REPUBLICAN TRUTHS.
Very Favorable Figures.

1t is perhaps, hardly necessary at
this stage of the game TO cite further
facts or figures in order to prove to
The people that the country is enter
log upon period OF wonderful pros
perity, out the figures just sent out by
the bureau of statistics with reference
to the foreign trade of the country for
the month of August are Of such re-
markably favorahly character as 20
deserve more than passing notice.
According to this report the exports
reach the enormous amount OF OF $76,-
752,783. The real significance Of
these figures becomes apparent when
it is stated that the exports fer the
corresponding month a year ago
amounted to 500. 1879, $40, showing an
increase for August of this year Of
$50, j63, 43S.
The imports for the month also
show an increase over those OF the
corresponding month u year ago, de-
spite the predictions made by the
Democrats concerning the effects of
the Mckinley bill. They amount to
$6j. S94,754 as compared with SOL
200, 440 for August OF 1890.
For the twelve months up TO Sep
TENDER exports reached the prodigious
sum of 5000, 264, 1873, which was an in
crease of $4,000, 900 over the pre-
ceding year and OF $50, 900, 900
over the year before that. Imports
for the same period amounted to
$3.50, 1913, PAL, which was an increase
over the preceding year of 100000
900. The balance Of trade in our
favor, howe yer, amounted to a little
over $40, 600.
Ii is unnecessary to expatiate upon
these figures, They are more elo-
quent than arguments or theories,
and tell Il story OF prosperity such rs
even this wonderful nation has never
known. When it is further remem-
bered that the movement OF our pro-
ducts abroad had only just begun dur
ing the month under discussion some
idea may be formed OF the prosperity
that is in store for this country in the
immediate ana near future.
Indeed, it seems no eXaggeratiou to
say that never in the past has it con-
fronted SUCH promising prospect as
now. In 1879 the conditions were
much the same, there being then
crop shortage in Europe and an
abundant crop in this country. But
the European shortage then is not to
be compared with that Of the present
year. while this country also has a
mucn larger surplus to market than it
had at that time.
Altogether the outlook is just about
as promising as it well could be, and
seems to Justify the most sanguine
predictions which have been made
