CURRENT COMMENT.
REMAIN STEADFAsT.
(Springfield Union.)

There is good fighting chance for Mr..
Reed. 1t is worth taking and New Eng
land, outside of Vermont. must remain
steadfast. 1t will. But, suppose Major
Mckinley were nominated, what would
be the position of New Englands In the
first place. the six New England States
would support the nominee with enthusi-
asm. They would work for him with a
will and roll up immense majorities.
There may be those who would desire to
be on the winning side. Admitted that
be DESERVING New England man? Major
Mckinley is man of honor. He admires
faithfulness to trusts and manly oppo-
sition. If he were nominated he would
have far more respect for those who op-
posed him from the first, If they continued
their opposition to the very last He
would know they were to be trusted, be-
cause they had been true TIC their original
candidate. Would he feel the same way
toward men who, though pledged to sup
port another candidate, come to him sim
ply because he seemed to be winners
Not much. He would know they would
would feel throughoutsshis administration
that they were not reliable. Everybody
admires manly man and Major McKin-
ley is not different from the rest Of man
kind in that respect.
Major Mckinley is not yet nominated.
Mr.. Reed is not yet beaten. He may not
be. If his friends stand by him be will
be a formidable candidate. The thing
to do is to be faithful to Mr.. Reed, to
be firm for New England and earnestly
and aggressiyely active for her candidate

rertinence, and his refusal to say more
defended on the ground that he had said
enough already to satisfy any reasonable
man. But it is notorious that the Obi.
platform is neither one thing nor the
other. Free liver conventions have en-
dorsed the author Of it as well as gold
conventions, showing oonclusively that
there was nothing in it which estopped
the silver mon from regarding its author
as friend of silver or the gold men from
considering him as loyal to the gold
standard. This being the case. and his
| nomination in the estimation of his
| friends being assured, it seems not un-
reasonable that he should point out how
he wants the Ohio platform interpreted,
! and what he intended it to mean. Nor
| is the reasonableness of this request de.
| unfinished by the fact that not merely the
gold men want to know, but the silver
men as we'll. The wider the doubt the
greater the reasonableness of asking him
to solve it. A while ago Gov. Grosyenor,
one of Mr.. McKinley's spokesman, said
in about so many words that the reason
the Ohio candidate did not speak plainl y
was that there were moro conventions to
be held, thus conveying the impression
that an open oommittal on his part
might ALLEVIATE delegates whom he ex-
pected to attach to his boom. But the
conventions are now nearly all over; two
or three silver States being all that re-
main. and those States not needed at all,
his friends assure US, to secure his nomi-
nation. Why, then, should he not say, as
have the other candidates, exactly where
he stands. Surely there must be some
better reason for his silence than the one
that Gen. Alger gives, that all the fac
tions of the party want him to speak.
Gen. Alger in the same interview in
which he declares that the reason fol
Mr.. MoKinley's silence is that the silver
men want him to declare for them, pro-
nounces the Republican currency plank
of 1892 "a disgrace to the party", all I'M
mindful Of the fact that the corresponding
plank in the Ohio Republican platform
adopted in 1896 and written by Mr.. Nc
Kinley himself is a paraphrase of the
national plank.
But even more remarkable than Gen.
Ayers talk about Mr. McKinley's cur
rency views is his deliverance concerning
his tariff views and intentions. "The
tariff" says Gen. Algeri sis also an is
sue. but do not think that Major Nc
Kinley means any ripping up of the tar
iff question. do not believe he is radi-
cal protectionist. f" This is.simply astound-
ing. If Mr.. Mckinley is not radical
protectionist then the conventions
in Vermont and Indiana have been
laboring under most woeful delusion.
The great apostle Of protection was
the language used by the Vermont con-
vention to describe Mr.. Mckinley, and
the Indiana enthusiasts hailed him as
the man who perfectly represents pro-
tective Tariff But if Gen. Alger's belief
is correct Major Mckinley is not radi-
cal protectionist, and his election does
not mean ripping up of the tariff ques-
ton.
1t looks to US as if it would be greatly
to the benefit of Major Mckinley for
Gen. Alger's tongue to oleave perma-
nently to the roof of his mouth.

Mr.. Addicks is not a desirable kind of
man to have at the head of u party,
but the Delaware Republicans seem to
have preferred him to Mr.. Higgins. and
their preferences ought to be respected in
State conyentions eventif..not approved.
There was no justification therefore
for the bolt of the Higgins men from
the Delaware convention in the fact that
they did not like Addicks. The MAORI
ty WAS entitled to'rule, and the majority
were Addicks men.

The Republicans of this state will SUD-
port the candidate of the ST. Louis con

ruined the Democratic party and drove
it from power. The Republican should

an honest motive in developing the per

know that we can demonstrate to

Friends and customers, do not think

same as we have had, and see our
books at the end of the year you would
adopt the cash system. We know
that we can sell you goods cheaper

Improvements in almost every line
seems to be the order of the day with
Howard county farmers, notwithstand-
ing the general low prices and conse-
quent dull aud hard times.
Ex-Sheriff Hewlett is excavating for
the foundation of large and substan-
tial farm house on the site of the
Howard Center House, once the seat
of justice for Howard county.
VIM. Huckins is having added to
his tillable land by utilizing stump
puller along the east side of his grove.
They are expecting the return of son
Wm., with his family. from Sun
Dance, Wyoming, he having been alb
sent about three years; a married
daughter, Mrs. Alice Reynolds being
there still.
A very enjoyable visit was had with
Mr.. and Mrs. T. r. Perry. and hospi-
table entertainment with Herbert L..
Perry and family.
A noted Improvement is that of Ole
Sparley on his three hundred and
twenty acre farm. A large addition
has been made to the house. and one
of the largest barns of the county
erected thereon since our visit there
one year ago. Its dimensions are
52x24, height "a feet, with lean-to
l6 feet wide, the entire length on
each side. He has also put up gran
ary 16X24 and machine shed with
ample room to protect his farm imple-
ments from the weather. With a
geared windmill, he operates a feed
mill for his own stock and for his
neighbors.
Ole Thompson has put comfort

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Echoes from the Storm,

The storm of Sunday was of wide
extent ranging east from the Dakotas
to Michigan and south to Missouri,
and everywhere death and destruction
was the result.
In Iowa, the storm made itself man
ifest by either wind or flood in many
different places. Near Des Moines a
little village was almost wiped out by
a cyclone, and near Manchester was
the scene of another cyclone product
i've of much damage and loss of life.
At Dubuque the town was flooded, 2.S
inches of rain falling Sunday night,
and the result may be surmised from
the fact that one inch of rainfall is
considered excessive. The terrible
disaster at McGregor is more local and
consequently of more interest to us.
At present 13 bodies have been recov-
cred but it is expected the list will
foot up to nearly 80. The water 60
ing down slowly, the search has been
retarded. Nearly all the railroad and
bridges between Monona and McGre-
gor are gone, also the depots at Beu-
lah and North McGregor. Dispatches
in the dailies state that the railroad
officials do not expect to get trains
running on that division again in less
than ten days.
In Howard county and vicinity the
storm took the form of an immense
rain storm, accompanied more or less
by wind. From such reports as we
can obtain, Elma and vicinity suffered
the worst Press reports state that at
Elma the wind did considerable dam
age, and so much rain fell that the
town was almost a lake; and that vio-
lent wind did considerable damage to
property south in Chickasaw county,
one man, Henry Jasch, living south
west CT Alta Vista. being killed by the
total demolition of his house. Three
or four miles west of Cresco, the wind
was violent, as reported in Tues
days PEE DEE, while farther west a
most excessive rainfall was had. AT
Riceville the heavy rains caused rise
in the river which took out the dam.
A further account of the storms
work may be found in our telegraphic
news on the fourth page.
