1np in Illinois and Iowa.

Colonel r. j. Kfmball has just returned
from ten days. trip in Illinois and Iowa.
He went to attend the annual meeting OF
the Iowa Central Railroad company, OF
which he is director, but took great
pains to ascertain the political sentiment
and prospects.
He met lawyers, railroad and elevator
presidents, general managers, etc,
sons who come in contact with a large
number OF employees. 1t was the universal
report that ali these better and intelligent
classes are sound money men and will
vote directly for Mckinley, although some
OF them we're active in the organization OF
the indianapolis convention. The purpose
OF that convention was primarily to main
tain regular democratic organization III
principle as we'll as name, and not let the
Chicago popocrats steal it all.
Colonel Kimball met Governor Drake at
Des Moines, who was elected by 10000 ma
jority, and he assured him that he bad
full confidence Iowa would give Me-
kinley larger vote In November.
He also met several large manufacture
ers and wholesale merchants who have in
structed their commercial travellers to
canvass the situation among tie country
merchants in Iowa, and their reports are
also favorable but now and then there Ia a
freesilver merchant. When they find such,a
one they generally refuse to sell him
goods. So much for the Mckinley side.
In Chicago, Peoria, Des Moines and o.
kaloosa free silver 'sspouters" were on the
street corners speaking to groups--and
sometimes crowds--of people, telling them
ten.cent oats and fifteen-ce corn are
caused by the decentralization OF silver,
which the election Of Bryan will correct,
and this work is going on as earnestly as
that Of the Salvation Army, and in much
the same way. There Is danger that we in
the East are over confident and that we
hardly realize the hard work necessary in
the Western doubtful states.
The Vermont verdict Was grateful and
encouraging surprise to the republicans
and sound money democrats every where.

BUSINESS REFORMS.

Semi-otficial reports just at hand
state that one of the most notable res
olutions presented to the convention
of Chambers of Commerce of the Brit
ish Empire was adopted at the last
day of the Congress. This was a res
olution which recited that the British
currency system of pounds, shillings,
pence and farthings is source CT
constant annoyance and loss of time
to the trade, who have adopted dec
imal system, and that the system of
dollars and cents now covers the
whole of the North American CONT
nent, with population of 70,000,000
of English-spealling people, urged
that the Canadian decimal system of
currency, which answers all purposes,
be extended to the other portions of
the British empire, the pound sterling
to be equal to five dollars and the
shilling to twenty-five cents. Another
resolution which was likewise adopted
declared that the British system of
weights and measures, which varies
constantly in every part of the British
empire, is a source of annoyance, loss
of time, and a formidable obstacle to
local, imperial and foreign trade, and
that the metric system has now been
universally recognized as the most
perfect decimal system, and generally
adopted by nations of both continents,
with the exception of the British en-
pire and the United States of America,
and urged that the metric system of
weights and measures be adopted
without further delay by the several
governments of the empire, the yard
being extended to the meter, the
quarter to the liter, and the two
pounds weight to the kilogram.

Weyler, the Spanish general in Cuba,
will be the sufferer in the end from
his treatment of the correspondents
sent to the Island. These men, the
best in the profession, are detailed to
get at the facts. Weyler, in trying to
circumvent them, only makes their
work little more difficult and ard
uous and deprives himself of any favor
from them. The power behind the
newspaper is only human and it can
not but resent the conduct of Gen.
Weyler. The latter, like some other
men in public life, does not realize
that while he may be "out of sight
and up TO the limit" in his own bus
mess or line, knows nothing about
the newspaper business.

RUSSIA AND HER RULERS.

1t is 20 years since Peter the Great
became the sole ruler of the now vast
empire of Russia. of which Nicholas
II has just been crowned emperor.
Peter was the first Russian who
sought to give his country the benefits
of western civilization, and to that
end worked in Holland as a ship car
penter and studied the sciences. 1t
was he who founded st. Petersburg,
and defeated Charles MI of Sweden at
the famous battle of Pultowa. He in
troduced many reforms, and enlarged
the borders of the Empire, but still
retained something of the Tartar in
his roughness and cruelty. The Rus
sian empire now extends from the Arc
tic ocean to the Black and Caspian seas
and from the Baltic sea to the Pacific
embracing an area of over S,65s.000
square miles and population of 49,
100000. 1t is constantly enlarging its
borders, and is supposed to have de.
signs on both Turkey and India. Its
armies have marched into western
Europe and have occupied the capitals
of the German empire and of France
and have gazed on that of Turkey.
