We owe all that money; we can't pay it; so the mortgage is to be foreelesed, and we must go. He knows nothing about its always having been our home, and that all this trouble has come about without cur knowledge. It's not his fault that we must go.

 "But your bread is delicious, Susan; and Pm sure he's welcome to the best we have"

 "serye him right if he had! But you said he was sound asleep"
 The hole was quickly covered, and Willard Blackwell heard no more. But the various new sensations he had sud- denly experienced gave him sufficient food for thought.

WHITING TIE RESULT
Spanish Peace Commissioners Hope To
Democratic Success to Give Them

Democratic Success to Give Them
"Eetter TERMS"
Readers Of newspapers have noticed
within tile last few days the tenor of the
dispatches from Paris concerning the
meetings of the peace commission.
These dispatches have been made up
largely from editorials in the Paris
newspapers, which express the opinion
of careful observers who are on the
ground. Only last week, in one Of
these dispatches, it was stated that the
main reason why the commission repre-
senting the kingdom of Spain is fl h.
ing for delay, is that the real matters to
be settled by the commission may not
be reached until after the election in the
United States The leading newspaper
in the city Of Paris explains the situa-
ton correctly when it says that the
Spaniards realize that there may posi-
of the election. If, as this paper ex-
presses it, the elections show .slack of
confidence i'll the administration the
Spaniards hope to get 'better terms. %
This is what the Republicans of Iowa
have contended all along. They have
said time and again since the
campaign opened that the election of a
Democratic congress would be stroke
in favor of Spain. They knew this was
true, but they hardly expected a con-
frmation SO soon from Spanish sources.
1t is not only true that a Democratic
congress would be taken as an express
sion of lack of confidence in the admin.
istration, but any material decrease in
the present Republican majority in the
house, even though not sufficient to give
the opposition control, would be claimed
| by the Spanish and pro-Spanish nations
of Europe as an evidence that the peo-
| pie of the United States do not endorse
the administration in it's demands upon
Spain in the settlement of the war
Every voter in Iowa should remember
these facts when they go to the polls on
the Sth of November. They should ask
themselves the question whether as
patriots and as good citizens they dare
to give our country's enemies the aid
and comfort of a vote of lack of conf
/ dence in the administration This is
an important question; 1t is one on which
vital interest depends. 1t is one with
which the prosperity and future glory
of this country is closely connected

y sAs0 = NJ Ana the IDEA OF their daring
to select such an hour instead Of going
out when when people could see And
then there was the fact that Mr.. VIM
still refused to Be reconciled to his
wife, What did that mean if not that
ne deemed her guilty? Blythe, who
had kindlier feeling for VIM than
mad most men at Worth (for Brayton
now was utterly set against him and
refused to go near hinl), sent in his
card and begged to be allowed to see
him, and Blythe's face was sad and
gray when half an hour later he came
forth again.
Colonel, said he to Frazier, "some-
thing has got to be done for that poor
fellow or he'll go mad. Collabone has
told him Barclay was totally ignorant
OF Mrs. Winn's plan to ride that morn
ing-that his assault was utterly un-
justifiable, and between that and the
contemplation Of his wife's brainless
freak and all his old trouble I'm sore
~ afraid he'll break down-go all to
pieces. Can't something be done?'
Both Frazier and Brooks thought
something ought to be done, and so said
Blythe and De Lancy and Follansbee
and Fellows when they came trooping
home empty handed from their scout
Only Mullane's detachment had accom-
plished anything, and such success as
he had was due almost entirely to
Winn's persistent effort and energetic
trailing. Something was being done to
hunt up stolen stores as revealed by
Marsden, but poor VIM, who had rid
den home SO full of hope and pluck and
energy, now paced his narrow room for
hours or lay upon his lounge, face
buried in his arms, either dull and
apathetio or smarting with agony.
On Mrs. Winn old Collabone had lit
tie sympathy to waste. Bluntly he told
her that she was responsible for the
whole business and deserved to be
down sick. &c. too, he told the colonel,
who was having blissful time answer
ing the questions and squirming under
the nagging of his household at home
At first Laura had shown tremendous
spirit. Mr.. Winn's conduct was an in
suit. The Doctors comments were an
insult. The instant she was we'll enough
to move she would take her precious
child and return to her mothers roof.
sYour mother hasn't any roof said
Collabone. 'Shes boarding in Wash

got to do is beg your husbands pardon
for all the scrapes you've led him into

heartless cruelty Of her husband, who
left her sick and dying, for all he knew
(Collabone had assured him there was
nothing on Garth the matter but nerves),

CAREFUL students of politics are begin
ming to be alarmed at the growing tend.
ency to carelessness on the part of the
people in regard to the exercise of this
power granted them by the constitution:
that power, the right use of which. is
necessary to the life of a republic. This
power is expressed by the ballot and
the great danger which careful students
of government fear lies in the apparent
disregard of this power, as shown b. the
large percentage of people who Ie. .ect
to use their right to vote.
Ii danger threatens the life CT this
nation; ii, in fact, republic is not acs
t med to be stable form of government,
the trouble lies in this very disregard of
the primal duty of citizenship. Take
the census of Iowa for example, and it
shows that from 10 to so per cent Of the
voters OF the state, comparing the poll
lists of the election with the census re-
turns, do not care enough for their rights
and duties as citizens of Iowa to record
their wishes by their votes at the polls.
Now, there is no question but that if
some foreign power, or some conspiracy
at home, should threaten the ballot, every
citizen of Iowa would protest against
it to the extent of Offering their lives, il
necessary, in protection of this right.
Then, too, it it were proposed to re-
strict the ballot, SO that 10 per cent. or
3 per cent, or per cent even, of the
voters of the state should be cut off from
this privilege, what a protest would go
forth. And yet, with an unrestricted
ballot, a large per cent fails at every
election to avail themselves of the priv
ilege. This should not be so. This
growing laxity of public spirit, of patri.
otto principle, to speak strongly, is a
menace to the republic and its greatest
danger.
/ These observations are general and
apply to any election. This year, how
ever, the reasons why no one should
fail to vote ara stronger, more pertinent
if possible, than ever before in the his
tory OF the United States. The vital
questions and problems SO fraught with
interest for the present and future of
our country, which must be settled by
this administration, demand that moth
ing prevent or in in any way hinder
their speedy and right conclusion. To
this end the appeal goes forth to all
patriotic people to vote to sustain the
administration, and not to vote to en-
barrass the conclusion of a work SO glo.
riously carried forward to its climax.

RAIsED 5000.

Rev. A. Aaron, pastor OF the Immanu-
el Lutheran church raised on Monday
last after the opening of Sherman street
church, nearly 5000 among the parish
oners.
Monday evening he held meeting
in the new yestry and Mr.. Oliver Ander-
son suggested the idea of at once taking
up the question, then and there, of rails
ing money instead of at a mass meeting
which was first proposed.
The suggestion was Immediately
adopted and in spite of the fact that the
congregation was pretty wall exhausted
because of previous liberal contributions
toward the building, the handsome sum
of 5000 was gathered in just IS minutes.
Some members kept the time and when
it was reported everybody was surprised.
Mr.. Oliver Anderson then suggested
the plan that meeting of the ladies OF
the parish be called to lend helping
hand. They have already done their
part and are willing to do more.
Tonight the Gustavus Adolphus festi-
val will be celebrated in the new church
and all will be welcomed.

MARYLAND.

Baltimore, November S-Full and semi
official returns from the city of Baltimore
and partial returns from the balance of
the state make it reasonably certain that
Maryland has returned four Republicans
and two Democratic congressman. IS

more than two-thirds of the city indi-
cate the election Of Mcintyre, (Republi-
CAM, in the fourth district and Wachter,
(Republican), in the third, the latter BY
a narrow margin.
The election of Mudd, (Republican)
in the fifth, and Baker, (Republican).
in the second, seems probable, although
returns from the counties may change
this outlook. No returns have as yet
been received from the first, where the
election of Smith, (Democrat), is deemed
probable.
