sHERMAN'S "REMINISCENCES.

chats with Senator Sherman. The busts
of Washington, Clay, Webster and Salmon

tops of the bookcases as we talked, and

tai among the books new bust in marble
Of himself by French. At my left. on an
easel, there was a magnificent marble me-
dallion of Abraham Lincoln. and in front
of me. beside plain walnut table, with
his iron-gray hair half hanging over his
great white forehead, and his face not a
day older than it was ten years ago, sat
Senator Sherman. As l looked at him

SOME NOTABLE EXPERIENCES IN EUROPE.
Senator Sherman has travelled through
every part of the United States. He has
visited every state and territory number
of times. He has made several trips TO
Europe, and, during his visit in 1867, he
had some remarkable experiences. Dur
ing our talk, the question of Prince Bis
marck's retirement to private life came up,
and asked him if he had ever met Bis
marck
He replied: Il met in 1867. 1t was at
Berlin and We had q long talk together.
The greater part of our conversation was
as TO the war which had then just closed,
and Bismarck told me that he was glad TO
say that the sympathies of every man in
Germany, from the king in his palace to
the peasant in his cottage, were with the
North in that struggle. Bismarck was in
his prime at this time. He was taller than
were decidedly German, but he talked
English as Wen as do, and was much
impressed by his ability and character"

rather remarkable circumstances. 1t was
at the time of the international exposition

the French Emperor Napoleon I'LL, to

evening dress, with knee breeches and
stockings, and I remember Fernando
Wood was presented with me. We
stood at one side of the long hail
with the minister as the impe-
rial procession entered. Napoleon
III. came nrst with Russian princess on
his arm, the car of all the Russians came

press of the French, and following up the
rear as third in rank, with Prince Bis
marck and other minor great men behind
him, was King William, of Prussia. have
often thought of what change there
would have been in that procession had it's
members come together i've years later.
Within FIVE years Napoleon had fallen
from being the greatest emperor in Europe
through the Franco Prussian war into the
existence of an exile at Chiselhurst, Eng
land. King William, by the consolidation
of the German confederation, was the head
of the great German empire, and with his
victorious armies had taken Napoleon's
place as the dictator of the continent.
Bismarck, as his premier, was controlling
the destiny of nations. Car Alexander
III. was still on the throne of Russia, but
his days were numbered, and 1t was not
many years thereafter that he was assas-
sinated. As it was, was impressed by
the character of Napoleon. dined with
him later in my visit, and found him

Gov. Boies, Please Answer.

The State Register thinks there are
several questions that Gov. Boies
ought 10 answer as soon as possible
because the people are anxious to be
informed. Here are a few OF the
questions:
Are you, or are you not-in favor OF
tree coinage of silver as laid down in
the Ottumwa platform?
How is it that onerof your tenants
has been able TO clear 81, 600 in five
years, when farming in Iowa has "for
five years been prosecuted at loss o.
81 cents per acreP"
How do you reconcile your theory
Of the divine right of the saloon keep.
or with your theory OF local option?
Why has sugar gone down in price
in spite OF the predictions made by
you last year?
What caused you on the 18th OF
April, 1890, to sign the most stringep'
liquor law now upon the statute
books?
Why have you withheld from record
in the Office Of the secretary OF stale,
as required by the laws Of Iowa. the
pardons and suspensions granted by
you to liquor law violatorsp
Why isn't Stormy Jordan in jail?
Why don't you carry bottle OF
sugar this year?
Don't you think that the Republi.
cans are making good fight?
What are going to do after January
/, 1892?

Farmers and the Home Market.

A few figures CLEANED from the last
report Of the United States depart
meut Of agriculture are worth citing.
for the evidence they furnish 10 refule
the free trade argument that the
American market for farm products is
governed by the prices which prevail
at Liverpool, and the kindred delusi0n
that the American farmer is not ma
terially benefited by the protection
policy. Taking Kansas and Nebraska
as illustrations OF exporting states.
Illustrations where manufacturing or
other industries aside from agricult-
ure give the former home market
for his product, we find that in Kan
sas the YIELD OF corn is 2S.5 bushels
per acre, and in Colorado is only 26. I
bushels, but the Colorado farmers
corn is worth at the farm 5000 per
bushel for period OF ten years, while
the Kansas farmers corn, depending
upon the export trade, is worth only
s.27I per bushel. In like manner the
average yield per acre in Nebraska is
32.S bushels per acre, which Is worth
at the farm 1921 per .oushel, while
the average yield IN Massachusetts is
3l.G per acre, worth at the farm s. 1926
per bushel The states whose corn is
disposed OF in the home market are
thus found to obtain two or three
times as much for their corn as the
states which market their corn abroad.
The same thing holds true as to hay
While Nebraska produces Isl tons OF
hay per acre, and Kansas 1926 tons,
and Colorado only 1.25 tons and Mass
.chuseus 1.09, the Massachusetts
armer gets $500 per ton and the
Colorado farmer $12. 80 per ton, while
he Kansas farmer gets only 81. 33 and
;he Nebraska farmer only 50. IS. These
igures and others like them relating
10 other states, which might be quoted
from the same report suggest close
connection between the prosperity OF
| the American farmer, shown by large
value OF crops at the farm, and the
existance OF a neighboring market
furnished by the establishment oil
manufacturing and kindred industries.

Does Farming Pay in Iowa7

"You will see more farmers at the
worlds fair from Iowa than any other
state. 1t was the first state to make
an appropriation, and she planked
down u cool 100000 for that pur
pose. She is out OF debt and can al.
ford it. Land bought at $50 per acre,
producing 50 bushels oil corn worth 30
cents per bushel, is the kind OF stun

How Boles Covered His Tracks.

The formidable list OF pardons and
suspen sions published in last Sundays
Register is one OF the best arguments
against the present Democratic admin.
islration. 1t is not necessary TO COM
ment at length upon the shameful
abuse Of power shown by the list. !. 1t
jcarries condemnation with it IL il
could be made clear that Gov. Boies
has shown the same lsniency toward
other criminals, the record would still
be bad. But when acting in his Of
licial capacity he has recognized a
criminal aristocracy to whom he has
extended unusual and unwarranted
favors, the record is doubly bad.
After a year and a half OF pardons and
suspensions granted indiscriminately
and almost as rapidly as courts and
juries could convict, the governor is
now parading up and down the state
proclaiming that tho law Is u failure.
But there is another fact to be re-
mem bered in this connection, and
that is that Gov. Boies has taken
pains to cover up his pardon record.
He has caused no official record to be
made, OF the pardons and suspensions
granted by him, in the office OF the sec-
rotary OF state, as was done by every
governor before him, and as the con-
stitution OF the state provides for.
Secretary OF State Mcfarland, in re-
Spouse TO request from Col. Hender-
son some time ago, made the follow
ing statement which will be of inter-
est in connection with the list OF par
donS in the Register last Sunday:
Hon. ID. b. Henderson, Dubuque,
Iowa.--Dear Sir: regret very much
my inability to give you the informa-
ton requested in yours OF August lat.
Ever since the organization of the
state until about u year since it was
the, practice of governors when acting
under the provision of Section 16, Ar.
ticle IA, of the constitution, to have
the papers countersignod by the sec.
rotary OF state, as contemplated by
Sc ction 81, Article 4, and a record OF
the same was thereupon made in a
book kept for that purpose, called
"The Executive Register" Since the
time above indicated the present gov
ernor has not called upon the secretary
OF state for the usual signature. Con-
sequently the record as applied to
grants of pardon, suspensions of sent
enGe, ETC., have been discontinued.
Yours very truly,
w. Nj. MCFARLAND.

have his pardons recorded is appar-

MGR. IGNATIUS PERSICO.
A Former American Bishop the Head
of the PrOnamnnha.


For the first time in the history of the
Catholic church preIate who has been
an American bishop has been placed in
charge of the Propaganda at Rome AS
secretary of the congregation he will
hold Accommodation with all the bishops
of the world. and his personal influence
in the directi OF ecclesiastical affairs
will be far-reaching and potent. lie Is
Rt. Rev. lgnatius persico. who was the
fourth bishop Of Sava nah, and who
achieved prominence in the world of
politics from the famous papal rcscript
that i'll relation to oycotting and the

The IL w Secretary was native of
Naples. He was born Jan. 30, 1923,
studied under the Jesuits, but entered
the Capu,hin order in 1914 and was or
daincd in 1916. He came to America
in 1867 and labored in and around
Charleston. In 1870 he was mad e
Bishop of Savannah, which Office he
resigned in 1873 to perform a mission
p in Canada in connection with the Laval
university and the charges then cur
rent concerning the part priests played
in elections.
Mgr. lerSlcO has served as chaplain
in British regiment in India, has err
formed delicate diplomatic missions on
three continents, Is versed in many
languages, and, beng extremely we'll

appointment will be considered a good
one by American Catholics. Cardinal
Simeoni is perfect, but Mgr. Persico is
the actual head of the congregation.
lie is to-day Archbishop of Du'

leads to the cardinalate, so that leav'
ing out the proba bility that another
