Mr.. White, the Democratic candidate
for governor of Iowa, is farmer pure
and simple. He runs a small farm in
Keokuk county and when notified of his
nomination was found pulling the pillow
from stump with which the pillow had
collided. Iowa Is, generally speaking, a
strong Republican State, but the Demo-
Gratis think the letter have struck a snag
in their candidate, and are working en-
Enthusiastically for his election. Some of
the greatest men this country has pro-
duced were farmers and that class of citi-
zens are to-day one of the great bulwarks
of national safety. Leading life of More
or less independence they have not been
affected by many of the heresies which
curse society, but realizing the true value
of home life like theirs they are ready
to help their country in the time of dam
ger. and are justly regarded as among
the truest opponents of genuine patriot
ism to be found in the land They have
suffered much, it is tt ne, by the appreca-
zion of gold. but better times are in store

in the Times to day, evidently belongs to
that receding class of partisans who
would take great delight in choking the
liver out of every man who disagrees
with them either in religion Or politics.

are the millstones that threaten the SUI

about dozen gentlemen in Roanoke
could rid themselves of the idea that they
are the guardians of the Democratic
party and that the destinies of the people
are in their keeping and subside, the
party would soon pull itself together, and

The Sultan of Turkey has evidently

with defying all the powers of Europe in
the matter of a peaceful settlement with
Greece, he has also sent an ultimstum to
Persia demanding the withdrawal of the
troops of the Shah from the Turkish ter

refusal. The army of the Sultan, thanks
to the instruction of German officers, is
no doubt formidable fighting machine;
