Gov. B6tfs Is tow enjoying his brief
day as presidential candidate. Last
week he went to Denver and at a BAN
quet given by the Greystone club
spoke of the Democracy Of 92."
The silver bugs of Colorado had their
ears distended for free coinage speech,
already to applaud the candidate for
the presidency who should utter the
sentiments of their hearts desire. But
the governor bored them with talk
about their towering, sunkissed noun
tain tops, forgetting completely the
expected free coinage expression. Then
there was an avalanche of snow that
chilled the banqueters, and the govern
or's presidential prospects became more
family outlined in the perspective.
Again on Tuesday evening he spoke at
2 Boyd banquet in Omaha, upon "The
Democracy of Iowa; its Future" The
speech was merely historical, and as to
the future held out no rays of hope.
The governor did not succeed in meet
ing the expectations of his auditors,
and in the first instance signally failed
in his treatment of the subject as a
presidential candidate. Mr.. BoieS' day
Is waning, and very soon he will have
to make room for the man whom de-
m ocracy will select to bear its standard
to defeat.

AN ENoINEER's STORY.
Thought the Mule Was q Fool, but He
Saved the Train,

Thought the Mule Was q Fool, but He
Saved the Train,
The locomotive engineer was of
duty and had time to talk.
1--WE have some queer experiences,
he said. .'One Of the things that is
not pleasant is to run over animals,
and we avoid it all we can. They
never seem to know that it is a great
deal safer to take Ave steps to the
right or left than IL is to take FIVE
hundred right ahead. That's why we
have to stop often and head them of
the track.
Il had funny thing happen to me
once on the Chesapeake & Ohio road.
About two miles from bridge one
day. scared up q mule In the middle
of the track, and / whistled tor all /
was worth. but the mule kept In the
track on q run. At last had TO stop
and the fireman went ahead and drove
him of. BY the time tho fireman got
back and We had started that con-
founded mule was on the track again
and We were after him. We didn't
dare to take the risk OF running over
him, for that is q dangerous business
SO we had to stop again and drive him
away. Well, this thing occurred
once or twice more. and by the
last time we had got so close
to the bridge that we were
sure the fool mule was going to
try to cross 1t and we stopped
again, this time cussing mad, and
fully prepared, to shoot the mule il we
got Il chance, We chased him right
up to the bridge and then down over
the field he went with a bray, and
stopped all right in the road below,
and right ahead OF us on the bridge
fastened down some way with his legs
between the ties we found that mules
mate. We saw it all then. and. by
George! we were tempted to take up a
collection from the passengers on
board for the benefit OF the mule which
had saved their lives, for if we had
run in on that obstruction nothing un.
der Heaven could have saved the
train"
As the engineer concluded his tale
pious-looking man in the far corner
got up slowly and started out
Il had very respectable sized lie
to tell myself" he said YEARLY, but
I'm too paralyzed to tell it this even
ing" and the door slammed to on hi:
heels. detroit Free Press.

TIE debate Oh the Schmidt bill which
has occupied about week in the SEN
ate is tedious to the people of the state,
because but little that is new is offered.
The Schmidt bill itself is very little dis
cussed and the whole controversy is be-
tween license and prohibition. 1t would
seem that the senatorial forum ought
to be place for sitting the provisions
of the bill and presentation of its
strength and weakness, but it has been
almost unmolested. Senator Bolter,
the patriarchal imposter from Harrison
county, has given an air of respectable.
ity to the argument for license, but has
tndulged so much in demagogy AMI in
the pedagogue's argument, that he has
added no strength to their plea. Other
senators who speak for the measure
are from districts that defy the exist
ing law and would as persistently vic
late q high license law. Senator'S Finn
Hager, Mack and others, have spoken
well In defense of the law which is now
observed in eighty of the ninety-nine
counties In the state. The more time
that is given to discussion, decreases
the chances of license measure, The
present bill is SO pernicious, and while
Claiming to regulate is so well calculat
ed to extend tie traffic, that it receives
very little consideration as bona iide
measure and 1t Is little wonder that
criticism of 1t gives way to personal
taunts and discussion on general lines
The democrats are posing, killing time
and making a record on the Schmidt
hill. The bill In effect would kill any
marty that dare stand sponsor for it,
And the democratic party isn't anxious
10 assume that responsibility.

THE discussion in the senate ON the
license bill has developed one man com
paratively unknown, in the person of
Senator A. L. IIager, of Greenfield,
Adair county. His speech arranging
the license system before the bar of
public opinion, is by far the ablest eff
fort of the session, and its loyal senti-
ment will be echoed in every home in
Iowa. Hager is an attorney, forty-two
years of age, and a resident of Green
field, Adair county. His profession ap.
pears in the systematic arrangement OF
the address, which is eloquent in cold
type. Delivered with the spirit of earn,
estness and enthusiasm which pervades
every line it must have awakened the
dignity which broods over the chamber
of senior solons.

WILL some of the democratic news
papers please reproduce the supple
ments they printed in the closing days
OF the congressional campaign of 1890?
Then they printed pictures of articles,
with the duty to be levied under the
Mckinley bill, and demonstrated by
mathematical process the prices that
would be necessary to pay the price and
tariff. Now if these prophesies wert
true, a reprint would be splendid cor
roboration, and would substantiate thu
claims then made. Let some demc
cratic paper reprint its campaign liter

THERE are many pecullarities of that
old democratic party that are difficult
to understand. For nearly the last
forty years of its existence its members
have been worshiping at the shrine of
old bachelorhood. James Buchanan
was the last democratic president be-
fore the war. After his death their of
ferings were placed at the foot of Sam
uel J. Tilden, unmarried; after his de-
cease, at the shrine of Grover Cleveland,
wifeless. But he reformed during his
term of office and just rs soon as he did
so the party deserted his standard AS
rats would a sinking ship and hid them
selves in the bosom of David Hill, a
bachelor forlorn. And the only ray OF
light in this discussion thus far-th
silver liring as it were-iS the fact that
the democrats in this chamber who
have wives and sons and daughters re-
fused to father this bill and have en-
trusted the burden of its fatherhood to
the eminent senator from Scott, a man
who has never received the smiles and
cheer and counsel Of wife, the caress OF
loving daughters, the inspiration OF
growing boys, but who has wandered
thus far along the road of life cherries
and lonely.-SeRdtOr Hdger
