RosroN Mass. December 20. 1897
Twice-a-week plain dealer. (Cresco, Howard County, Iowa) 1895-1913, 1897-11-30

An article taken from the Ameri-
can, edited by Wharton Barker, who
stands second intellectually, to no
writer OF the present day, and whose
qualities as statesman and patriot
makes him the peer of any living
American, may be found on our in
side pages. The article is a history
of the sale of the Union Pacific rail
road to Pierpont Morgan, Vanderbilt
and others who advanced to Mark
Hanna some two millions of dollars
with which to procure the election of
his protege to the presidency.
Certain metropolitan newspapers in
the pay of the railroad syndicate pro-
claimed that the sale had been made
without loss to the government, and
the statement has appeared in many
country papers as truth. The arti.
Gle is calm but able exposure of the
transaction, and shows direct loss
OF $1s,O00.OOO beside jeopardizing the
value of the interests of the United
States in the other Pacific roads. But
the political debt had to be paid.

The Mlnstrels.

That everybody expected great
/ entertainment Thanksgiving night
was evinced several days previous by
the immense ticket sale, and on that
night nearly every seat in the Opera
House was filled and had it not been
stormy, S. r. o. would have been the
sign hung out. Judging by the
pleased comments of all. the conf.
dence of the people of the presenta
tion OF first class minstrel show was
not misplaced.
The curtain rose on a lot OF hand
some colored boys arranged in a
semi-circle on either side of Mr.. C. @.
.OMalley. the interlocutor, the ends
being taken by G. @. Burgess, s. K.
Strong, Dana Mead and Geo. Halter,
and A. F. Garrett, Roe Brown,
Frank kinsley, Wesley Swenson,
Fred White. Frank Lomas, James
Connolly and Lars Hagen completed
the chorus whose singing was such
that the only criticism we have heard
was that they did not sing enough.
The jokes were all new and up-to-
date, abounding in local hits which
kept the audience continually in
laughter. Interspersed were the u.s.
ual comic songs and ballads, we'll
rendered. The circle closed with a
hot solo, chorus and dance, which
the crowd insisted must be given
again.
The second part consisted of musi-
cal specialties, quartette singing by
the "Dlxies" which responded to a
hearty encore by quartette whistle
lng' decided novelty. Burgess and
Strong did a musical sketch, intro
ducing some novel musical instru-
ments, Mr.. Albert Garrett sang fine
tenor lullaby, and Mr.. @. G. O'Malley
entertained with recital of the ad-
ventures of travelling man among
the citizens of the town.
The entertainment closed with a
negro farce, IA Trial by jury" par
tlclpated in by the entire company,
which brought waves of laughter
from the rise of the curtain till after
it had been lowered.
The best recommendation the boys
have as ''mirth-producers," is the
fact that the next morning plate of
false teeth were picked up on the
floor and are now in Lomas' store. A
show that will make one laugh so
hard they will throw out their false
teeth and never miss them, is all
right.
The gross receipts for the evening
were $46s, and over $500 will be net.

ger is whispering tales connecting
some person about Cresco with being
q stool pigeon for an alleged bucket
shop in Chicago. The bucket shop
neither buys or sells grain or any
other farm property. Its methods are
greatly simplified from all such trans
actions. Instead OF this it sells those
who are induced to become It's patrons,
A man, to illustrate. goes in for the
purchase Of 10000 bushels of corn,
with remittance Of 5000. The buck
ct shop buys no corn, nor does it sell,
but reports to the customer the sale of
10000 bushels at loss of three cents
a bushel, which covers the $500 re-
mitted, and calls upon the customer
for another remittance which if made
goes as the former one, luck being
against him, as the bucket shop fell
lows have the deal and stack the cards.
Rumor Is rife in telling of one near
Cresco who was duped into making a
remittance who not only obtained his
money but the tee OF his attorney who
traced rhe funds so clearly and con-
clusively as stolen that with trembling
hand they were returned to the in
tended victim. This is the rumor.
We sincerely hope Cresco has no per-
son sufficiently lost to the sense of
honor and manhood as to seek to in
duce his neighbors or friends for a
share OF the plumber to become patrons
OF the bucket shops of Chicago. If
there are others who have been vlc-
timized than the one who is reported
to have recovered his money the 9TH
ers should put tracer after him to
the end tnat they may recover their
loss.

the benefits of protection will be so appar-
ent that the south, now already becoming
a manufacturing community, and the west
filed with mineral resources of untold
value, may be converted to the policy of
protecting their nascent industries by tar
if laws And it may be that the manu-
featuring industries of the east may be-
come so strong as to oppose duties on raw
materials, thus reversing their positions.
This would be a change of position in
the sections but the issue would remain.
As for the ticket that is presented by the
republican party, there ought to be no di-
vision of opinion among republicans. Gov.
Bushnell has proved 10 be an able and
excellent officer, has performed his duties
to the entire satisfaction of the people,
has been honest and faithful, and de-
serves your hearty support. The election
of an legislature in Ohio is always inn
portant. Its action more directly affects
the people of Ohio than the election for
congress. The senator Of the United
States is involved in the election of a leg
islature. The only republican candidate
who is mentioned is Mark A Hanna, who
is now serving out the remainder of the
term to which 1 had the honor to be
elected.
His wide experience as a business man,
his generous and kindly treatment of his
employees, his sound judgment of all pub
lie questions of the day, ought to secure
for MIN the hearty support of every re-
publican member of the legislature. l
will, on Tuesday next, Providence permit
ting, so to Mansfield and contribute my
vote, not only for his election but for the
election of the entire republican ticket.

board has returned to Washington from
its trip down south. The board visited in
the order named Birmingham, Ala, Shelf

Knoxville, Tenn; Bristol, Va. and Nor

is a mass of statistical information ex-
hibiting the varied resources of the south

plant if the government should determine
to build one. This information will not
be printed in the report of the board, but
will be held subject to demand from con-
gress in case that body decides to embark
upon the task of selecting a site for the
plant
The board has now settled down to hard
work. for it is under orders to have it's
report ready for submission to congress
when 1t meets early in December. There
is no time to spare for more visits to other
towns which aspire to the possession of
the armor plant and TO the many appli-
cations that are still flowing in upon the

The Long-Wished For Adjunct Puts
In It's Appearance at Princeton.


In Its Appearance at Princeton.
Princeton, N. j., Oct. ga son was born
to the household Of Grover Cleveland, the
former President of the United States, at
noon to-day. II is said that the new-com-
er resembles his parents in points of good
health, but neither Mr.. Cleveland nor the
three family physicians win say anything
in regard to the newcomer other than that
he is getting along nicely, and is a fine
boy
All afternoon Mr. Cleveland has received
at his home the many callers. who wished
to pay their respects to him in honor of the
occasion. Some have congratulated the
ex-President personally, but many prefer
red to leave their cards with congratula-
tions and best wishes for mother and son.
A great many kilograms of congratula-
tions were received. Among the first to
proffer congratulations by wire were Jo-
seph Jefferson, E. c. Benedict ex-Secre-
tary Thurber and ex-Secre tary Carlisle.
Princeton undergraduates have taken a
great interest in the new Princetonian. The
fact that a Cleveland heir was born was
announced during the varsity practice
this afternoon. There was large gather
ing of undergraduates on the field watch
ing the varsity and scrub teams practice.
When the announcement was made three
Princeton cheers were given for the boy,
three for the mother and three more for
the father.
IT Is probable that the undergraduates
will serenade former President Cleveland
and his heir at some future date.

GEORGE "GINGERS" GOTHAM.
CLAIMS THAT JUDGEsHIPS HAVE
HERETOFORE BEEN PURCHASED.

sDecifc Charges Against Judges
Pryor and InEraham, Who He
Claims, Bought Their Seats From
Croker-Other Judges Said to Have
Put Up Even Larger Sums-GeOrge
Threatens Croker and PIatt With
the Penitentiary-Trac and
Lows Speeches Are Less sensa-
tionaI, While Van WycIx, the Tam
many Man, Speaks Briefly.
New York, Oct. 2S.-Henry George is
supplying the greater part of the ginger
that is being consumed in the municipal
campaign. His allegations touching the
integrity of che recognized chiefs of both
the leading parties are exciting wide in
terest though they are met by those most
directly concerned with a showing of in
difference that does credit to their ca
pacity for going unruffled through a po-
liucal game of foot ball. The most specific
of Mr.. Georges allegations are that Robert
A. Pryor paid Richard Croker $4,000 for
the judgeship he now holds; that $4,000
was paid for seat on the bench for Judge
Ingraham, and that other judicial offices
were made the object of barter by the
so-called political bosses.
Judge Pryor has made categorical de-
NAL that he did not pay, or cause to be
paid. directly or indirectly, any sum
whatsoever for the nomination, and like
denial has been made by others of the
judges involved in Georges allegation.
That judgeships come high" is, however
a fact well known, and freely admitted
The sworn statement of election expenses
on file in the county clerks office show
that since the law requiring itemized
statements of such expenses went into eff
feet the following sums have been so paid;
BY Judge McAdam, $4,000; by Judge
Pryor, $1O,5OO; Judge Ingraham, $1,000; by
Judge Newberger, $6,1S5; by Judge Ehr-
Itch, Sc, $50; by Judge Smythe, $1,000, and
by other judges sums below the amount
last given down to $2l0
These sums, it should be made clear
are for so-called legitimate election eX-
penses. George alleges that in addition
TO the sums admitted to have been paid as
above, the judges have been blackmailed
out of other and, in some instances, larger
sums. It is for this alleged extortion of
blackmail and for other kindred offenses,
which, he asserts, have been perpetrated
that George threatens Croker and Platt
with the penitentiary. Possibly because
of the latitude frequently PERMITTED in a
political campaign there has been no move
to proceed against George for libel. ---~
If George is doing a great deal of talk
ing, so are Tracy and Low, though the
latter are less sensational and personal
in their utterances. The only exception
to the rule OF volubility among the may
orally candidates is Van Wyek, whose
"star" speech, delivered last night before
the independence Hall democracy, was
limited to thirty words of commonplace
acknowledg gements of a hearty greeting.
