Col. Lewis letter is undoubtedly de-
signed 10 be a definition of the issues
on which he Will make his campaign for
reelection. 1t is a characteristic dema-
gogic appeal to the class which has
heretofore been the main source of his
popularity, and a reckless. extravagant
and untruthful arraignment OF the Nc
kinley administration and its conduct
Of the Spanish war. The charge of cor
ruption and rottenness against the
president and the departments are for
the most part mere reiteration of the
sensational stories that have appeared
In irresponsible yellow journals 1t was
entirely fitting that they should be re-
vived and repeated by a yellow con-
gresham.
II is impossible within reasonable
space 10 review this letter and point
out In detail its astonishing mendacity
and Supreme disregard for the facts
An instance or two will suffice for the
present. Says Mr.. Lewis:
Tho reform forces stood by the admin
istfaton. putting behind them rarity DIFF
ferences. and but in one single instance
departed. 1t was when the administration
sought To mortgage the earnings Of every
lAborer. the produce Of every farmer and
the inheritance OF every child for a sum
Of eight hundred millions OF bonds with

beyond any demand of war or request of

This is an astounding falsehood. The
administration sought To do nothing Of
the kind. II asked To be empowered 10
issue $iop, eooo0o Of bonds. and was so
anxious and careful 10 keep within the

SHOULD DOCTORS HASTEN DEATH.

SHOULD DOCTORS HASTEN DEATH.
A very old subject has recently been
revived In the question whether the
life and the suffering of people af
fiicted with incugable disease. and
doomed beyond all hope. should be pro-
Is to the honor OF the medical profess
sion that II regards as most sacred the
duty of the physician to prolong life
20 the last moment, in order that the in
valid may have every opportunity to
get the better of death IT, the struggle
which so often comes
1t has not always been the idea tina,
the physician shall look calmly upon
the most intense suffering In a rigid add
herence to duty. Prior To the compare
lively recent advance in surgery and
medicine. when a physician saw that
q patient was hopeles-iy beyond help
he had no compuncticn In administer
Ing drugs with a view to rendering
death easier Going back to that period
when the health and lives Of men were
In the hands ~ quaciks and empires
and when the practice o. medicine and
surgery was regarded as almost among
the occult sciences. there Ia no doubt
that under pretense of relieving the
suffering many lives were shortened
for state purposes, Even SO late as the
time of Elizabeth the mercIfui art of
alternating suffering by quoting
dranehts was recognized az among the
most valuable accomplishments OF q
cour, physician.
Little consideration need be given to
tho argument that Interference by
which life was shortened would be- an
ofrense against tie Divine Will That
objection would be as potent against
the reso-. 10 artificial means of pro-
longing life. and 4 relegates US 10 the
faith cure~~the basis of belief In which
IL thar nature should be left alone.
There IL no doubt that while there was
a rueliy IN shortening life by the
means Of drugs. there is an equal cru
city In resorting to artificial means To
exc out life for minutes or~hours when
each minute means only prolonga-
ton ana intenslfying Of suffering.
The true object of the physician
should be 10 seek 70 conquer disease.

them of his resignation from the COM
mittee as Il representative of the Tenth

vigorous exposition of the considera-
tons leading him to this step. Mr..
Healy is an expansionist, and is not in
favor Of trying 10 dam up manifest
destiny by such paper oDstructions as

word, Mr.. Healy does not like the way
the late democratic state convention
handled the issue of "brUader Ameri-

Let us Remember a Little.

Those who can remember for the
past ten years and who take the trouble
t. reason II little should have no tron-
BILE in knowing how to vote, nor in
concluding to vote the republican
ticket. We all remember the excellent
times during Harrison's administration
from 1889 to 1893 Then we remember
the panic of '93 which came OH almost
as soon as the democratic administra-
ton and congress were elected and the
terribly hard times that stayed with us
through that administration. We re-
member the low prices, the idle men,
the armies of unemployed, the scarcity
of money. Then we remember how
the democratic party, seeing the awful
condition it had got the country IN,
changed base, critised its own leaders,
threw over its own doctrines and said
the gold standard WAS to blame for all
the cali, nifty. We remember how they
sad if a republican administration and
lngreSS were elected that prices on
farm products would get even lower
and times harder. Then came the
republican victory of '96 and the inn
provement in times right along ever
since, and the fulliillment of every
promise Of the republican party. En-
ployment has become better, wages
have increased, prices OH our prod ucts
have nearly doubled, money has become
plenty and rates Of interest lower ana
business is fairly booming the country
over.
People should recall these facts that
are to us but the happenings of yester-
day and vote to keep good times, not
destroy them.

Over confidence and a reliance OIL
the justice of our cause constitute the
great danger to republicans this fall.
They do not realize the danger they
are in. Free silver democracy will
make herculanean effort to hold its
ascendency in democratic politics this
fall. If they can elect a congress of
their persuasion it will be great step
towards the overthrow of our present
sound financial system and it will be-
considered as Il rebuke to Mckinley
administration in the conduct of the
war No republican in Iowa can afford
under the circumstances TO remain
away from the polls or to vote anything
but the straight republican ticket.
Every republican should make himself
committee of one to help shake off
all lethargy and STE that the entire vote
is cast.

pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able 10 cure III all its stages, and

the only positive cure known by the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutiOnal treatment. Halls CatarIh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly on the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
