BACK TO THE FARMS.

The president of two western rail-
roads have become interested in mat
ter which ought to engage the atten-
ton of others desiring the permanent
prosperity of the agricultural regions
of the country. President Stickney, OF
the Great Western, has from the begin
ming of his connection with that road
sought to encourage the small towns
along his road in Iowa and other states
and lately has been at. work to secure
more and better farming of the land
adjacent to those towns. His advice
will surely have some good effect, and
President Hill, of the Great Northern,
declares that there is already visible
along his lines marked tendency to
return to the land. Both these rail-
road men desire that there shall be a
larger use of the land, recognizing that
from the farms comes at first hands all
the wealth which goes to make the
commerce on which the railroads exist.
1t has recently been pointed out that
the census returns of five years ago
show that in several of the leading
states in this rich midland region very
MANY townships show falling off in
population. This has been most
marked in eastern Iowa and western
Illinois. in southern OHIO, southern
Michigan and in scattered parts of In
diana. The fact that all these states
show large gains in total population
and that generally the townships show
inc increases Of population are not as
numerous as those showing decreases,
indicates that the most of the gains
have been made in the towns and cities.
Common observation confirms this
theory.
The census takers have not tried to
explain the change, and they would not
satisfy all if they had done so. Some
will say that it is because the price of
land has risen too rapidly and there
| fore farmers cannot afford to own land.
| Others will argue that fall in prices of
products has made farming unprOfit-
able and driven off the small farmers.
The other explanation, which will come
to many at first thought, is that the
process of 'bOOming' the towns and
cities has been overdone to the injury
of the country, and too many persons
are led to exchange country life for
city life because of the superior advan-
tages of the latter, real or imaginary.
Whatever be the cause and whatever
the remedy, the effort of men of intu-
ence, such as the railroad men men
tened. to get the tide turned back to
the farms. Is worthy Of all commenda,
;ion. MUYe small farmers: more edu.

The republican aspirants to the gov

The republican aSpirants to the gov
ernorship are having more fun than
anybody, and if opinion is as much a
variance throughout the state as it is
in Audubon the candidates will have a
good deal more fun before they capture
very many delegations. Here in Au-
dubon Gen. Drake seems to have mora
outspoken friends than any other can
didate. A few argue that Senator
Harsh is nearer home and consequently
deserves support. Old Senator Harlan
has his friends here too, and it is in
deed easy to say good words for the
veteran statesmen. Then there is Sec
Rotary Mcfarland. There is nothing
slow about him. Every other repub
lican in town has received a prettily
Worded circular from the secretary,
asking as to his chances, and it
is not the republicans alone that Mac
has remembered. The democratic ma
jority in the court house is i'll receipt
of an anxious inquiry as to the gentle
mans chances. Mr.. Mcfarland is a
good campaigner, but we do not think
that the democratic officials of Audu-
bon county will be on the delegation

these nations so doing. The education
of the people is going on here and all
over the world. On this subject the
people are not slow taking their lessons
from the whilom schoo!masters--tne
city bankers and the city newspapers.
They are beginning to see that the man
of large wealth may have an interest in
having one.half of the metal money OF
the world, which is the money OF final
redemption, wiped out. But such pro-
cedure is not in their interest. While
there may be, and, in fact, often is too
much so called money-credlt money
in circulation, there never has been
community that had too much real
money, money of intrinsic value. L
think we should direct all OF our enorts
to secure the success of the proposed
conference. When we have an admins
tration that is heartily in favor OF It's
purposes, with the increasing educa-
tional facilities promoting them, both
at home and abroad, we can scarcely
fail of success, although we may post
pone that success by attempting to &C
complish alone, what possibly can but
be accomplished by the concurrence OF
many. 1t is the province of extremists
like the writer of Coins TO propose
the most ultra and extreme theories;
it is the part of the thoughtful, conser-
vative man to weigh all he says, adopt
that that his judgment approves, dis
carding the rest, and that he does not
fully understand, and when two
methods are offered HIM, one that pos
sibly may lead to success, the other
that all know certainly will lead to sue

swerved either to the right or left: In

DENOMINATION DECLINED.

THE REPUBLICAN is authorized to
say that Senator Andrews will not be
a candidate for denomination at the
coming convention of the seventeenth
senatorial district. AS Mr.. Andrews
has served but one term and is entitled
by the rules of political etiquette to a
denomination this announcement Will
be somewhat in the nature OF sur
prise. The senator says that the office
is expensive and without pecuniary
reward, and his private business de-
mands attention that it could not re-

HEPBURN ON SILVER.

Interview in Clarinda Journal: |
F'Don't you Think" asked the Journal,
|'that there is growing sentiment in
the country in favor of free silver?"
81 don't know that the sentiment
should be characterized as growing"
the colonel responded, ''but there is and
has been for many years general de-
termination that the use of silver as
money shall not be abandoned. All of
the political parties in their conventions
in 1892 so resolved in strong, earnest
sentences. The late action of certain
leading statesmen in the east in favor
of the use of gold alone, has forced the
people to graVer reflections and more
'earres resolves. In that sense the
SCI, iment' is 'grOWiug,' and we have
moe to fear from precipitdte action
thai from anything else. Nearly all OF
the inen of large wealth seem to favor
a gold standard. Nearly all others who
have given thought to the question,
favor both standards. The latter are
as hundreds to one of the former.
They will prevail in the contest if they
are but wise. There is no room for
doubt as to the outcome if they are
wise"
TO the inquiry, "Have you read
Coins Financial SCHOOL, the colonel
said, Yes have carefully read it
what do you think of it," queried
the journal, and this is what the colo
mel said: 1T is written in attractive
form and contains many truths. But
the ultimate of the argument, that is,
the immediate and independent UNI
limited coinage of silver dollars by the
United States government without
waiting the action of Othe nations, |
believe to be hazardous and most I'M
wise. The writer of Coin says we can,
with unlimited coinage of silver, main
tain the parity of silver at 16 to !, in

renee of other nations. This in the
very nature Of thingsi is but speculation
lie cannot know it to be true. 1t would
be an experiment. If it failed, as it
has in Mexico and other South Ameri-
can states, the failure would be disas-
trOus and would postpone for years an

of the gold standard would sieZe upon
the disaster as another proof of the I'M

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-A syndi-
cate of wealthy New Workers, it is
learned from State department
sources today, has been formed and is
awaiting the proper crisis in Cuban
affairs to advance the proposition for
the practical purchase of Cuba. The
plan is the same as the scheme once
considered by Secretary of State Ham
ilton Fish during Grants administra-
ton. 1t looks to an amicable settle
ment of the Cuban question by pur-
chasing the independence of the isl
and for $100,OOO,OOO. The good offices
of the United States will be solicited
and the Government, it is expected,
will be asked to guarantee the princi-
pal and interest of the loan advanced
by the syndicate.
An impression prevails in the State
department that the Rotbschilds are
back of the scheme. They believe
that, with its finances properly man
aged and its government thoroughly
reformed, Cuba can easily carry the
entire burden of the present Spanish
debt charged against it, with the
added loan of $1OO,OOO,OOO. The
ROthschilds now carry fully $1,00o,-
100000 of the Spanish national debt,
or five sixths of the whole. They also
have majority of the bonds of the
Spanish railway system. They own
the famous Almaden quicksilver
mines, operated for hundreds of years,
and are really the financial mainstay
of that effete monarchy. 1t is believed
they see clearly the futility of at
tempting to keep Cuba longer subject
to the Spanish crown, and are furnish
ing Spain with the sinews of war with
the expectation that at the proper time
the proposed deal can be carried
through.
