The following widely copied editorial
from a recent issue of the Marion
Register contains some wise words Of
warning for Iowa republicans:
There are many democrats in Iowa
who have no intelligent idea of the
future of Iowa politics from party
standpoint, and there are many repub-
licans who are as wise, but no wiser,
than democrats referred to. The demo-
crat of the class of which we write
knows that his party candidates were
defeated by majority vote of about
10000 and plurality of nearly $4,000.
The republican knows that the candi-
dates of his party had majority Of
about 10000 and plurality of nearly
$4,000, and that is all either one of them
knows. They have not taken time to
study the returns and ascertain what
the percentages and the totals show.
Compared with the vote of 1892 the re-
publicns gained in round numbers 5000
votes, the populists gained 10000, the
prohibitionists about held their own,
while the democrats lost 10000.
1t is very probable that 5000 of the
5000 republican gain was from the
democratic ranks and that at least
$4,000 of the 10000 populist gain was
from the same quarter. The "unac-
counted for" the democrats who did
not vote at all numbering, as the
figures show, nearly 10000, were men
who were so disguised with free trade
and other heresies of their party that
they would not vote their own ticket
and did not care to vote with the re-
publicans, populists or the so called
prohibitionists.
In forcasting the result in the state
III 1895 and, if you please, in 1896 the
above facts must not and cannot be
lost sight of. TheHalignment:of. the
5000 democrats who voted the republic
an ticket this year, of the 1900 who
voted with the populists and the 10000
who sulked may tell different story
when the votes are counted next year
and the year following.
This year the republicans were also
fortunate i'll their state and congress.
sional ticket. Every man whose name
appeared on either was competent and
popular and the platform devoted al.
most wholly to national issues, embod-
led principles which were dear to every
citizen who desired to see the country
prosperous.
Next year other issues will be largely
involved. The cranks will want to
have the campaign fought on prohibi.
ton lines. State affairs will be promi-
nent' and While the party will undoubt-
rety have a strong state ticket, there
is going to be a scramble for legislative
and county offices which cannot help
but weaken the republicans. Here In
Linn comfy we have heard of aspir-
ants who are no more fit for the offices
to which they aspire than hades Is for
a powder house. 1t will be the same
throughout the state. The men who
know enaugh to know that they could
not be elected where the parties are
pretty evenly divided will now all want
to be candidates when they think a
nomination is equivalent to an election.
1t is time for thinking men to do a
little early thinking. Time for repub-
licans who do not want Office but who
want their party to be successful,
ID look the field over and resolve that
incompetent, undeserving and weak
men shall not foist themselves on the
ticket.

the plain people. OF the whole country, TO
instruct them upon the merits and facts
of the money question. But Il Is necessary
to return to Judge Calhoons portrait Of
Senator Jones. 1t is as follows:
Senator Jones Of Nevada is very
worthy gentleman, and highly intellectual
He is wonderful in one regard. He has
furnished more thunder for southern ora
tors on the silver question than any other
man on any one question In the history Of
the country.
Senator Jones OF Nevada is a multi
millionaire. He could buy and burn up
jackson and half a dozen others of the
largest towns in Mississippi along the line
Of the Illinois Central railroad, and still
remain a multi-millionaire.
Senator Jones Of Nevada is a farmer
his crop is silver, not cotton. / can name
three of these silver farmers who to-
gether could buy and burn the whole
state Of Mississippi, and yet be richer
than any ten men in the state.
"They cannot be blamed for bolstering
up their only crop, silver, any more than
we could for holstering up our only
money crop, cotton But what about us?
We have not a solitary silver mine. Our
money crop is sold for gold. Why should
we tear our hair and rend our garments
about silver? When we get sound money
for our cotton we are all right. If II re-
mains sound money in purchasing power
If silver is legal tender and deprecated,
what farmer believes he would get the real
superior coin? Middlemen would see to
that"
When these worthy senators from Ne
vada, from Montana, from Colorado, from
Wyoming, from Idaho, propose to run the
finances of the United States In the inter-
est of their silver mines, 1t b time for the
people Of the other states to look little
after their own interests They have no
silver mines. Why should they seek to
revolutionize the finances Of this great
republic for the benefit Of less than half
a dozen states, which contain altogether
about half the population Of Mississippi
with six seats in the House of Representa-
tives and ten In the Senate at Washington?
1t is for such a pitiful interest that the
whole country is to be set by the ears. 1t

with silk tapestries. The dining hall IS
also handsomely decorated.
The Prince of Wales and his host and
hostess, It is said, will spend a large part
of September on the Goelet yacht, follow
ing the international races and cruising
in the Sound.
"Reminiscences OF the visit Of his royal
highness to this country thirty years ago
began to break out last night when II
was learned that he really was coming
here again. lie was a gay young fellow in
those days, just out OF his teens. He was
off not only to see the world but TO have
a first-rate time.
II the reports OF the day were true, he
did have a good time. and he Travelled far
enough to see a good portion OF this world
al least.
He did not travel as the Prince OF Wales
but as the Baron Renfrew. Still only those
who were away up in those things ad-
dressed him by his travelling name. He
spent much time In this city. where he was
wined and dined. and where every civil
and social honor was paid him.
Two grand alls were given in his honor.
One was at the Crystal Palace and the
other at the Academy Of Music. The
Academy of Music was not large enough
for the dancers, and bridge was built
across the street TO Nilsson Hall, which
also was used Theodore Moss. the theat-
rical manager, was chairman OF the COM
mittee of arrangements at both OF these
balls. and he eptertains his friends at
times by the hour in describing the gran
deur of those affairs in which he and the
prince played SO important a part
One OF the marks Of respect which the
prince seemed TO appreciate as much as
anything else was the parade OF the old
volunteer fire department The laddies
wore their finest uniforms their old hay
rake" machines and jumpers never looked
brighter. and the prince applauded vigor-
ously the several companies as they swept
by him.

suIIivan's Hard Fight With a Cat.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Columbus, Ind.-A terrific combat be-
tween a man and a mad cat occurred this
afternoon at the old Normal building,
part of which is occupied by Edward Doty
and family as a residence
A strange cat entered the house, and
its queer actions frightened Mrs. Doty
who appealed to her neighbor, Joseph
Sullivan to drive the cat from her premi-
ses. The family had taken refuge in a
room, while the cat was in a long hall
and had sole possession of the building.
Sullivan attacked the cat with broom,
but 1t turned upon him with fierce on
slaught. For a quarter of an hour he
fought the cat with his weapon until it
broke, leaving him with nothing but
short stick in his hands. He tried to
beat a retreat, but the infuriat ted feline
followed him up. Furnishing severely with
its teeth and claws, on legs, arms and
face
A passing policeman hearing the strug
gle came to Sullivan's assistance. The
eat at once transferred the battle to the
blue coat, who succeeded in firing two
shots into its body. With last power
full spring at its assailant's face 1t fell
exhausted and dead at his feet.
Sullivan is in a bad condition, and Sc
r.ous results are entertained from the
wounds, as 1t is thought the cat was
afflicted with hydrophobia.

This road is being constructed by the
Old Dominion Construction Company of
New York, Of which E. c. Machen is presi-
dent. Forty-four miles have been graded.
and ties are now being put down. Eighty
pound steel rails are being purchased. and
the shipment from the Carnegie works Of
enough TO lay sixty-five miles of track has
commenced Two new standard engines,
out OF the first contracts for equipment
are now due and will be put on track work
as soon as received. This will be the first
new road ever built that was laid with So
pound steel rails at the start The work
OF grading and general construction will
be OF the most substantial character, with
an equipment of the latest type, indicating
that the Chesapeake and Western is pre-
parlng Tor the heaviest traffic that can be
handled by any road. Twenty-seven miles
OF line, the rails for which are now being
received, will carry the road across Rock
lngham county, Virginia, from Elk
ton, on the Norfolk and West
ern through Harisonburg. on the
Baltimore and Ohio to Bridgewater. This
cuts across the valley of Virginia and
opens up one of the finest agricultural
regions in America and one whose agri-
cultural productions alone would be made
prohtable to such a railroad, hut in strik-
ing westward towards West Virginia this
road is pointing towards the very heart of
the timber and coal district of that state
and by far the best line obtainable. 1t is
possible for this line to be extended into
these coal and timber fields and open up
region Of almost infinite freight creating
possibilities; and then by extending east
ward reach tidewater at some point on the
Chesapeake bay. thus creating a new
through line from the Chesapeake to the
coal and timber fields of West Virginia.
and on to slack water at some river point
in the latter state, securing river transpor-
tation also.
