The Code Only.

Senator Hotchkiss, of this district, is
in the right in being opposed to the leg
islature, in its extra session, taking up
other than the work of code revision.
On this question Mr.. Hotchkiss saws
editorially:
The question of whether or not the
coming extra session of the Iowa legisla-
ture shall be devoted to code revision ex-
clusively is being discussed. Except
for the passage of legalizing acts, some
of which always seem to need attention,
we do not favor the Legislature going
outside of revision work. The element
favoring the other course will be found
generally working in the interests of a
manufacturers bill. This is really what
is meant by taking up general legisla-
ton. The legislature has been called
together to revise the code, upon the
theory that this work could not be done
at regular session on account of the
pressure of general business. The regu-
lar work of new legislation consumed 80
much time that it was impossible to pro-
perly consider the work of revision. The
same condition is going to exist if the
legislature decides to throw the doors
open to all kinds of work this winter
There will be deluge of bills and their
consideration will take up the time of
the session. The winter will slip away
and spring viii find the work still un-
done. Then the revision will be pushed
through with rush in order to save an
adjournment without completing it, and
the results will be liable to be wholly
unsatisfactory.
We believe that revision should be
given the right of way, that all other
business of a general nature should be
excluded, that the work of revision
should be done with the utmost care
and with all possible expedition, and
then the legislature should adjourn and
20 home The financial condition of
the state is such that a short session is
to be desired, but whatever its length
the people expect a careful revision.
That is the work in hand and that is the
work the people expect the legislature
10 do.

NEW COLORS
Shades That VIII Re Fashionable for
MOmen'S Gowns.

WOmen's Gowns.
No longer is it required of the fash
ionable woman that she look like an an
mated Kaleidoscope. The coloTing of
the new fall gowns is, on the whole, sub
dued. There are plaids in plenty, to be
sure, but the colors have lost much of
their vividness, and the plaids most in
favor are those in softened tones.
All the shades of castor are to be the
vogue among the best dressed women.
These shades vary from a deep cream
tint to a color which the uninitiated
might call brown. They are very eff
fective when three or four of the shades
are used in one gown. But for the
woman who would regard such cos
tune too quiet in its coloring there will
be variety Of castor gowns this fall,
relieved by a gay touch of color.
All the vivid startling green's are not
as much in favor as they were last
spring. There are many dull green's,
some of which show grayish tint, and
for certain gowns sage green will be
fashionable. combined with black.
A deep, rich red will be much worn
for coats and tailor-made costumes,
but the cloth will be invariably braided
in black.
Gray, which not long ago belonged eX-
clusively to the spring and summer col
ors, has this year made itself known as
a popular fall shade. For calling and
evening gowns shimmering silver
gary will be much used, while a new
shade of gray, called London smoke,
which is an effective deep gray, will
be in high favor, All the intermediate
tints of gray will also be worn.
A blue with a purplish shadow is an
other popular color as well as a gray
ish blue.-N. Y. Journal.

Wishing ON Falling Stnrs.

Would you know the origin of the Gus
tom of making wish when a star falls?
If so, you need not travel all the way
to Galicia. a province northeast of
Hungary, whence it comes. There it
is believed by the peasantry that when
star falls it reaches the earth in a
form of beautiful woman with long,
glittering, blond hair. Every handsome
youth she meets in her wanderings be-
comes the victim of the starland beauty
because she has the power of magic.
At least that is what they call it in
Galicia. Having bewitched her victim
she encircles him in her arms and then
slowly strangles him to death. If GER
tain words are murmured the moment
the star falls, the woman has no power
to harm that particular personalities

A CRANK VISITS MCKINLEY.
His Name Is Lyons and He Halls
From Ohio,


The first crank who has thus far ap-
peared at the White House under the new
Administration turned up yesterday after
noon and made a futile effort TO secure
an interview with President Mckinley
He was Charles l.. Lyons, and as soon as
his misfortune became known he was
promptly placed under arrest by Policeman
Garvey and locked up in No. 8 precinct
station upon the charge of insanity.
Lyons approached one OF the guards
and asked to he ushered into the presence
of Mr.. Mckinley. His conversation was
disconnected and rambling, and when
questioned as to his business said that he
wished to have the President pardon him
for having murdered his mother in Gin
cinnau.
Lyons said further that he had come from
Ohio and knew the President personally
and was confident that he would grant him
any favor. He said he had been working al
the Soldiers Home and had been turned
away from there because he had no money.
He also wanted to secure the loan OF some
money from the Z President to help him back
to Ohio.
The man did not make an effort to resist
arrest, but when locked in n cell stead
fastiy refused to he seated. He probably
remained standing all night An exanina
tion of his mental condition viii be made

taken no decisive stand on the tariff as a
whole. 1t had never believed that the
tariff was in fact the seat of all the coun-
trys difficulties, but all Populists be-
1ieved that when the Government raised
it's principal revenues by import duties
they should be spread over all American
industries, SO as to henefit all home in
dustres, if that could be done They
also believed that no tariff bill was fair
which did not carry with it a graduated
income tax, which would provide that the
wealth Of the country should pay some
thing for its own support. tApplause on

Mr.. Carmack reviewed the campaign,
holding that the issue was not for high
protective tariff, but on the money ques-
ton. Yet we are now told that the
panacea is high protective tariff, which
was not the issue.
The Republican party, nevertheless, in
its tariff bill, recognizes the evil of falling
prices. 1t was avowed in the report on
the Mckinley bill. He would agree to the
proposition that the evil was falling prices,
but not as to the remedy. No amount OF
sophistry can induce the farmer to believe
