The postyille Review repeats the
story that the pamphlet edition Of
GeYernor Boies' New York speech
has the Objectionable language left
out, and that the Des Moines Leader
admits it and explains why. On the
contrary the Leader denies that any
part of the speech was left ont. The
PLAIN DEALER published the full
speech as it appeared in the New
York papers in its issue Of January
LIST, 1891, and is frank to say that it
sees no objectionable words" to be
expunged. We have never seen the
pamphlet edition, but presume the
Leader is right in denying that any
part Of the original speech was omit
ted. The truth is, there is no reason
why it should be, for it is plain,
truthful, courageous presentation of
we'll established facts. We can fur
nish the Review with the speech as
delivered if it will have the independ-
ence and manhood to publish it.
Then, if it has the pamphlet edition
issued some weeks later, it can amuse
itself and benefit the public by telling
the truth about it from it's own
knowledge.

Protiv,n Without . Post Office.


From the early part Of the present
administration a change Of Post
Master was secured in the town OF
Protivin. The newly appointed p.
NJ. has since his appointment kept
the p. O., one and one-fourth OF e
mile from Protivin, or the establish
cd site. About one year ago the peo-
pie of Protivin sent a petition to the
p. 0. Department, begging to have
such injustice remedied. In five
months from the time the petition
was sent, an Inspector made his ap-
pearance, who upon investigation,
found the T. Q. in an improper place.
The earth has made one annual cir
cult around the sun since the depart
ment was notified OF this outrage.
Thus far all efforts to get the p. o.
into Frotiy,n have failed. Its popu-
lation has more than doubled within
the last six months, and nearly all
the mail going from town is either
mailed in Cresco or Spilville, the lat
ter place being nearest, but eight
miles distant from Protivln. Still
under these unfayorable conditions
of getting the mail, Protivin is max
ing progress. The largest Farmers
Creamery in the county: il not in the
state, is under construction, and
many important manufactures are
proposed. Great bitterness exists
among the people of Protivin on ac-
count of the mail system. Ninety.

radius of five miles favor the former
site. PHILLIP R0pSK4, and

While we are not disposed to find
fault with the character and qualif1-
cations of the instructors engaged for
Institute work, because they are well
qualified and worthy OF the positions
they respectively occupy, we think
our public school and its able corps
of teachers ought some of them to
have been recognized, not only be-
cause they merited the position, but
also because as much was due from
Mr.. Webster to the people of Cresco
and their public school. The little
brief authority" given him in the
office of County Superintendent, he
had no moral right to use against all
the people Of Cresco, and its public
school, to crafty pique against its
principal, whose attainments are as
much superior to his. as his are to the
poorest fourth grade teacher in the
county. The difference in the esti-
mate of the public of Cresco, between
Prof. Cooley and the Co. Superin-
tendent, was very plainly expressed
at the rec ent election of directors in
the Independent district of Cresco.
His entire term as county Superin-
tendent has been one continued ef-
fort to divert county students seek
ing better opportunities than their
district school offered, away from the
advantages that the public school OF
Cresco offers them Cresco should see
to it, that his successor is not an en-
envy of it's public school and the
school interests of our town and
county. The Cresco school board in
providing Cresco with its excellent
corps Of instructors has brought the
mea ms OF obtaining good education
within easy reach of the sons and
daughters of all the people of the
county, desiring better advantages
than can be had in the ungraded and
smaller schools of the county. Mr..
Webs ter virtually says to Cresco and
its sc hool board, my effort. have been
and shall be to keep from the public
all knowledge of its excellence.

Government loans.

The debtors Of this nation could as
easily afford to pay the government
ten per cent, per annum interest for
money as they could to pay individu-
als Ave per cent. The government
may be likened to q joint stock CON-
pany and all the people stockholders.
Let US take for example q joint stock
banking company OF one hundred
shares Of 800 each, with one hun
dred shareholders, each shareholder
owning one share. Now let us sup
pose that fifty Of the shareholders
borrow from the company $500 each
1t ten per cent. In one year they
each pay go interest to the company.
The company receives from the Dor
rowers 90, 900 per year and declares
. dividend Of ten per cent or 80 per
share. The borrowers each get a
dividend OF ten dollars, which deduc-
ted from their interest payment,
leaves ten dollars as the net cost of
the use Of 1900 one year, or five per
cent. In the case Of the government
the constitutional right to issue
money is the capital stock held by
63, 100000 Of people. If 6,3Oo,OOO
heads OF families Representing 81, 500,
600 Of people, borrow from the gev-
eminent ut ten per cent, they will re-
ceive back by way Of reduction Of
taxation, one-half Of the interest paid
and would be virtually paying only
five per cent interest. II they were
to borrow OF the government at four
per cent, they would be virtually be
paying but two per cent. Herein,
we believe, is one Of the strongest
arguments In favor of government
loans. Missouri World.
