Down in this part of the state money
can't be loaned on long time for more
than 6 per cent. All that is wanted
can be borrowed at that. This state
has been fine field for the capitalist.
could tell you of millions Of dollars
loaned on Iowa land, and never de-
fault. But our farmers have got a
surplus now. The banks are full of
money. The farmers will do the lend
ing"
"Some people seem to be fearful this
renewal of business is only spurt.
What dc you think about it? Have
good times come to stay?'
''Of course shortage abroad has
given some part of the immediate de-
mand for our grain. But think this
state of affairs has been brought about
because the Dingley bill has given the
people chance 10 work and earn
money, and is promising continued
employment. That makes buyers put
the whole machinery OF prosperity In
operation. l believe good times haye
come to stay as long as the protective
tariff is in operation, for that means
the opportunity for men to work and
to earn and to be buyers. OF course,
we may have bad crops to hurt us tenn
porarily, but as long as we have aver
age crops and the Dingley bill remains
on the books we shall have prosperity"
"What kind Of political campaign
will Iowa haye this year, Senator?"
"The republicans will make care
full campaign, opening on the 25th Of
this month. The gold democrats haye
nominated the best democratic ticket
ever put forward in Iowa. l look to
see it poll heavy vote. 1t seems to
be the intention of the gold democrats
to make the strongest possible show
ing. / think they will develop sur.
prising strength. The popocratic
fusion movement has bright man ut
the head Of the ticket, but he is an in
tense populist. My opinion is that
Iowa will show the largest republican
majority ever given. from $1,000 to
100000"
1t will be remembered that in 1879
Mr.. Gear was elected gavernor by 49,
600. That has been the record
majority until now. This is an off
year, but the Senator has q theory
that it will not be characterized by
apathy on the part OF the voter.
II have thought" he said, ''that all
who voted for Mckinley last year will
get to the polls in the coming Novem-
Der with the feeling that their judg-
ment then expressed has been verified,
and that full vote now is the proper
way to proclaim the vindication and to
emphasize their faith in the republican

MosBY RETURNS.

After many months absence Colonel
John s. Mosby returned yesterday from
his old home in Virginia, where he
came near leaving his bones. When
be left this city for Washington early
in the spring on legal business he only
expected to be away few weeks at
the most. An accident befsll him,
however, that not only delayed his re-
turn for months, but placed his life in
extreme danger. Thanks to his robust
condition and to excellent medical care,
he comes back to San Francisco as
vigorous and alert as ever, but with q
memento of his narrow escape from
d, a,h in the form of fracture of the
left frontal bone and al artificial eye,
which replaces the optical organ that
was destroyed by the kick of a horse.
A resultant change in the colOnel's ap-
pearance is the wearing of pair Of
spec,acles, not so much for the sight CT
his remaining eye as for the protection
which it affords the injured socket.
The accident took place on April
23i last while Colonel Mosby was be
lug driven in carriage by lady IN
the vicinity of the University of Vir
sinis at Charlottesville, near where he
was born and in which institution he
completed his education. The harness
became dsarranged, and, as Colonel
Mosby leaned over to adjust the
preaching, the dashboard gave way. He
was precipitated under the hoots of the
frightened animal and kicked into
condition of inseusibility, from which
ne did not entirely emerge for days,
while for some weeks his life hung by
a thread. He was conveyed to the
University Hospital, and in response to
kilograms DR.. Lincoln, vino had been
Gen. Grants physician, came on from
Washington, and DR.. Mcclure, surgeon
of Stonewall Jackson's corpe, in whose
arms the great Confederate leader ex-
pired, hurried from Richmond. Mean
while, however, Col. Mosby had under
gone an operation at the hands OF DR..
Hugh Nelson, his left eye having been
removed. OF this he was unaware at
the time.
1t was several days after he had re.
gained CONSCIOUSNESS Cl'at Iue lacl "ao
made known to him. Then he showed
the grit for which he is famous. Mos
hy's only remark, if it can be 80 called,
vas to quote the following lines from
"Childe Harold :"
"Blind old Dandolo, the octogenarian
chief, Byzantium's conquering foe." =
Two months were required for Col.
Mosby's recovery. Before leaving
Washington he was informed by the
President that he would be nominated
some position, either consulate or
u mission. He is strongly supported,
especially by number OF Vermont
men, whose friendship he gained dur
ing the war by his treatment OF soldiers
from that State whom he took prison

BEER AND TEA TAX WITHDRAWN
But no Agreement Yet to Eliminate To-
bacco Tax Increase.

Washington, June 9-The Republican
members of the Finance committee will
withdraw the amendments for an addi-
tional tax ON beer and for the duty of
ten cents pound on tea. The pressure
for the withdrawal of these amendments
has been very great and many Republican
Senators have made decided stands a.
gainst them. The formal action of the
committee on the subject has not been
taken but the determination has been
reached The members of the committee
are still in doubt as to what shall be done
with increases on tobacco in the internal
revenue part of the bill, but there has
been great pressure to have these taxes
reduced. The question of revenue is Civ
ing the committee considerable concern
and if there should be a withdrawal Of
the increases on tobacco as well as those
on beer and tea, the bill would not meet
the needs of the government as revenue
producer For this reason it has been
practically determined to make a bank
check stamp tax and the question of ad-
ditional revenue by means of system Of
stamp taxes on beer has been under con-
sideration.
