unhnnnr.Mr. SHINY.

The republican candidate for governor
of Iowa is in an unhappy frame of mind.
He and his campaign committee want the
present governor, who is reported to be a
millionaire, and the other state officers
to contribute something to his campaign
fund. They refuse to contribute a cent.
The reason is, they say, that Shaw ana
the other candidates on his ticket do not
say word in praise of the present state
administration. Shaw wants the people
to believe that If he is elected he will
introduce many reforms and correct some
Of the abuses of which they now complain.
Shaw must have an immense amount
of gall If he thinks officials whom he Is
practically inviting the people to con-
denim, will put their hands in their pock-
cts and contribute money for his cleo
ton, he has a great deal to learn about
human nature.
But the refusal of the governor and
other state officers to assess themselves
for his benefit is not the worst of Shaw 8
troubles. 1t is charged against him that
he is a usurer. That charge, if sustained,
will turn the farmers against him. They
are already asking if he is not shy
lock. He is the president of a bank. His
cashier Is on record as saying that this
bank charges 10 per cent. on past due in
terest. The law allows only s per cent.
interest. This usurious interest charge,
therefore while 1t has helped to hll
Shaw's pockets, will hardly help fill ballot
boxes with votes bearing his name. 1t
may turn out that Shaw will be beaten in
the republican state of Iowa. And If he
should be, the regret would not be deep
nor lasting.

Prospects For Currency Reform.

The Indianapolis currency commission
is reported to be somewhat discouraged
at the prospect for currency reform by
this congress. It is known that the Pres
ident Is going to say something about it
in his message, but it is expected that
what ne viii say Will be Of a negative
character, and. hence, will not be regard
ed by the republican party az Indicating
a desire on his part TO have the currency
matter considered
When the republicans passed the Ding
ley tariff bin they practically said they
thought it would be sufficient to over
come all currency difficulties until after
the next presidential election. The repub-
leans are afraid that any attempt to re-
form the currency would bring the ques-
lion OF the free coinage of silver at once
to the front. and that question they want
to keep in the background as long as pos
sible. It seems that the commissioners
who went to Europe to get some conces-
sions for silver failed in their mission.
England would do nothing whatever, and
as long as England occupies that position
no other one of the European nations viii
do anything. As there Is no hope for an
International agreement on the silver ques-
ton, the republicans hope that the silver
agitation will gradually die out. They
won't risk giving the silver agitation new
life by undertaking to reform the curren-
cy At the close of the extra session Of
congress, Speaker Reed is reported to
have said: If we undertake to pass
currency bill people viii think there Is
really something the matter with the
currency"
The republicans know there is some
thing the matter with the currency, but
they don't want the people 10 think there
is until they get ready to reform 1t in ac-
cordance with their own views. They
won't be ready until after the next presi-
Dental election, and not then if they lose
control of the government. They are go
ing to risk another money panic because
they think it is good politics to do so.
If they were sure that the silver agita-
ton had spent it's force they would be less
adverse to undertaking to reform the cur
renoy but as long as that agitation is
likely to bob up whenever the money
question is considered the republican par
ty will not show a profound interest in
currency reform unless forced TO do so
by the evils of the present currency sys-

A student of Yale College. who belonged
TO chemistry class before the members
of which Prof Stillman, according to the
Argonaut, was going to experiment with
laughing gas, knew a little about the eff
fects Of the gas, and he explained to his
companions that since under its infiu-

words, he was going TO take the oppor-
tunity to tell Prof. StillmaH what he
thought of him. Unfortunately, Prof.
Sullman overheard the conversation.
When the professor remarked that for
the purpose of illustration he should like
TO administer the gas TO some member of
the class, the plotter of mischief at once
volunteered The leather bag was con-
nected with his mouth and he soon APP
peared much excited. He began to abuse
the professor and to say many things
which he would not have dared to say ex
cept under cover of the peculiar circum-
stances. Prof. Stillman allowed him to
go on for some time and then casually re-
marked that his young friend had become
prematurely irresponsible, for the gas had
not yet been turned on.

The EverInstinr rnnio

From the Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.
When the land is parched and dusty,
And the vege tations rusty,
And the cisterns, springs and wells are
going dry,
Then the dairymen are bowling,
And the ruralites are growing,
While the rivermen keep squirting at the
sky.
Everybody then is saying
That the drought is havoc playing
And there's mourning in the country and
the town;
All the weather signs are failing,
And the populace is waillng
For good old-fashioned rain to tumble
down.
Every cloud in sky arising
They're intently scrutinizng,
And they think that it will surely bring
relief;
But they see 1t disappearing
While the sky again is clearing,
And once more they make a great display
of grief
But at last storm cloud lowers,
And the long-awalted showers
Keep on falling till we fear there'll be a
flood;
Then the ruralites are kicking
Every time their feet are sticking
In the roads that have been changed from
dust to mud.
And the people in the city
Join in sayin' It's pity
That the rain has spoiled some pleasure
they had planned;
And although they're reVerential,
There are methods providential
They would like to have the power to
countermand.
But the fellow who is saddest.
And who soon becomes the maddest
Is the one who for umbrella looks in vain:
Weeks ago to friend he lent it,
And he'll bitterly repent it
AS he walks a mile. or more through
drenching rain.
When it's droughty there is bowling
And a varied lot of growing,
And the populace for rain will pray and
sigh;
But at last, when Il Is raining
Some again will be complaining
And be sorry that the weather isn't dry
