THIS is 4 REPUBLICAN YEAR.

John J. Ingalls,, of Kansas, in an in
terview, says this is going to be a Re
publican year. One of his reasons fol
this belief was that Benjamin Harrison
seems to him to have been growing
steadily in public esteem and favor
notably so in the two years just past.
The administration has made its record
and impression as an eminently safe
administration. 1t has not run to
pageants and fireworks, but it has been
equal to all emergencies and the bust
ness interests are satisfied with it. AS
for the president himself, "he Is the
only executive the nation ever had,
said Mr.. Ingalls,. in the interview re-
ferred to, who was competent by
knowledge, training and experience to
successfully conduct every department
of the government" A second reason
for thinking this is republican year
is best given in his own words:
The effects of the tremendous assault
on the Mckinley bill are disappearing.
TIE people were bewildered and mis-
led, and they now see that they we're
deceived. The importation of nom
dutiable goods has greatly increased.
Prices have steadily declined. Wages
have been generally maintained. Ag
riculture has fourished. Money is
more abundant. The rates of interest
are going down and prosperity seems
to ohave come to stay. The prophesies
of disaster have not been verified, and
the loud outcries of the m manufacturers
of England, France and Germany in
dicate that if anybody has been hurt
the injury has been to foreign interests,
and not our own.

THE SOLDIERS, HnME

The new Board of Trustees of the
Iowa Soldiers Home have adopted
some radical changes in the rules, which
is said to have caused the leaving of
the Home of one hundred of the men.
Quartermaster Eberhont, in an inter-
view, explains the matter in this way:
"Under the new order a man can't OBJ
tain admission whose pension amounts
to S24 month and upwards unless it
be as a patient in the hospital. But
that isn't what's stirred up the un-
pleasantness. It's another rule that
compels all inmates who have depend
emit families to remit to their families
all pension money in excess of So a
month, and thosei who have none de-
pending upon them to turn over to the
treasurer all pension money over and
above So month, the Home providing
them with clothing, tobacco, washing,
etc. Heretofore washing, tobacco, ETC.,
have been an extra bill of expense" !"
He also says: "Most of the soldiers
homes of the country go still farther.
The pennsylvania home witholds 80
per cent of the pension money. New
Jersey scales the amount withheld ac-
cording to the size Of the pension,
charging the inmates for board. Wis
consin draws out 81 and upwards, and
the inmate has to buy his own clothes,
tobacco, etc, and those with the higher
grades of pensions turn all In over $40.
South Dakota takes it all and in turn
supplies everything. Nebraska takes
all, but Is not SO rigid in regard to the
use OF money. New Hampshire. Rhode
Island and Vermont take all. In New
York the inmates turn all their pension
over to the home, but down to date
none OF their pension money has been
appropriated TO state use. There are
thousands Of old soldiers outside OF the
home who are paying taxes for It's sup.
port. and they have rights as well az
pensioners In the home. It is also 8

The greatest crime in the eyes of
tax-eaters and wasters of public money
is any effort that seeks to check their
rapaclous raids on the people by way of
additional tax burdens. Any citizen
who will do that, in their eyes, is an
awful bad man, and he is barked at by
all the dogs, big and little. whose bones
may bs interfered with by such action.
But the man who does it can rest Sc
rene in the consciousness that such men
can harm no one, save as they can waste
public money and fatten thereon them

The vote in the House on the Bland

The vote in the House on the Bland
silver bill means that the Democrats
are afraid to do anything in face of a
Presidential election. They have de-
cided to fall back on the time-honored
Gu ,tom of doing nothing and having nc
platform. They Can now promise ths
people this fall that want silver that
the bill will be passed next winter and
those that do not want it that the bill
is dead. Then they can come back next
winter and pass the bill.

of the growth of Oskaloosl is the de.

is getting the great bulk of the South
American trade, and that unless the
Democrats succeed in earring the cleo

the operation of the reciprocity trea-
