Dies MONIES, Iowa, Aug. 16, 1898.
The part week was somewhat cooler
than usual, the temperature being from
two to four degrees below the normal.
1t was generally dry the larger part of
the week, and favorable for threshing
and good progress has been made in Sc
curing the grain crops.
Corn has made fair progress, though
the nights have been too cool for its rap
pid growth. Generally, the crop is
more advanced then at the corresponding
date last year; but it is in all stages of
growth, from the silk to roasting ears
In many early planted fields these differ
ences are noted in the development of
ears, resulting from the reviving inhu-
ence Of the rains following the drouth.
In response to inquiries as to the date
when the corn crop will be safe from
damage by frost, quite variable opinions
are given by crop reporters. The con-
dition of the crop is variable, resulting
from local differences as to time of
planting and the weather conditions
during the time Of cultivation and
growth. The average opinion seems to
indicate that the more advanced corn
crop will be fairly well matured by Sep
TENDER 10th; the larger part of the crop
will be practically safe by September
25th, and the belated crop will require
all of September without killing frost to
full maturity. In this state the average
date of first killing frost is later than
the first of October. So, with normal
weather conditions the corn crop is well
assured, and for the state the total out
put will be very close to the average of
recent years, and possibly above.

Last Tuesday afternoon the little son
of Nels Sorensen, the agent for the
Green Bay Lumber Co. at Brayton,
while playing in one of the big bins in
the elevator at that place, caused the
grain which was piled high on one side
to cave in on him. His cries attracted
the attention of those near by but before
help could reach him he was smothered
to death. The funeral was held yester-

To be "A Good American

citizen in Germany, says the Wash
lngton Post, one must become
drunk anC abuse the Kaiser.
Knaak when drunk was a good
American citizen TOR he abused the
Kaiser, when sober he was a bad
one, because then he eulogized the
Kaiser.
1t will be perhaps Of interest to
the Post to know that there is not
a single one OF the 500 German
American papers published in this
country (the WASHINGTON SENTI-
MEL one Of them) }, that would have
objected If Knaak had been pun
ish ed in Germany for being such a
good American citizen" as the
Post wants him to be.
Those papers are all edited by
patriotic gentlemen, who desire
that all. especially the German
Americans. who visit Germany, or
any country, should behave them
selves as gentlemen and not dis
grace shem selves by brutal drunk
enness. They may disagree with
many things they see and find in
Germany, but it is not their prov
ince to remedy those things. They
should be satisfied to enjoy that
personal liberty which they find
there and miss so much in this
"land Of the free"

The Complication At uoilo.

The capture by the insurgent
Filipinos Of Iloilo, the capital Of
the island OF Panay and the second
city OF the Philippines, precipi-
tates a difficulty which has for
some time been felt to be in, Wit

Gen. Otis despatched an expedi-
tion Of our forces to relieve the
beleaguered Spaniards, but ar
rived too late. The Spanish Gen.
Rios had formally surrendered
the city, and our soldiers found
Aguinaldo's flag flying over it.
Gen. Otis reports further that the
Spanish forces have evacuated all

which they have concentrated --
"by order, as they say, from Mad

Here is truly a pretty how dye

Spain Sao, 900, 900 tor the Philip
pines, and now Spain is quitting
the few ports that she held and
inviting US to take possession-it
we can!
And yet our Peace Commits
sioners have been patting them
selves on the back, so to speak, in
seli-fellcitation upon their shrewd-
ness and success in dealing with
Spain!
OF course Admiral Dewey can
shell the Filipinos out OF Iloilo if
they refuse to resurrender the city,
and it is reported that he has been
ordered to do so. But is this the
feast to which the treaty Of peace"
invites us2 Are we committed to

play to offer, this time a pretenupus
comedy OF domestic Life entitled THE

He goes to the station an hour ahead of

after which he fights with a porter and
gets arrested. All through lie the old
gentle man has been content TO allow his
wife to run the household and it is only
after she nearly ruins the happiness OF
his daughters by her misguided plans
for their welfare that he throws off his

authority and becomes head Of the fam.

All Except Guam.

Thus far the promptest and
eagerest practical "expansionists"
are Messrs. Alger, Corbin and
Hecker. Indeed, so eager are they
that it is doubtful if their "cxpan-
sion" will leave very much room
for the remaining seventy-odd
millions Of their fellow country
men to expand"
Reference here is not especially
to their army increase bill which
gives them about 1000 offices TO
distribute. II is rather to the larger
project Of which the army bill is
as an elephants tail to the rest Of
his bulk. This project is contained

Corbin, the exclusive right to

Miles and Egan.

The trouble between Gen. Miles
and Gen. Egan grows interesting.
Gen. Miles testified before the War
Investigating Commission that
some OF the meat furnished the
troops during the war was. unfit
for human food. Gen. Egan as
the head OF the Commissary
Department, declares that unless
Gen. Miles retracts his statement
he, Egan, will invoke both civil
and military law to punish him.
Gen, Miles is pursuing the more
prudent course Of saying nothing
and collec ing evidence to prove
his assertions. Meantime Gen.
Eagan asserts that he is not Miles's
subordinate, though he is oflower
rank and an officer Of the army Of
which Gen. Miles is commander.
If Gen. Eagan is right, if the head
OF the Subsistence Department is
not subject to the orders Of the
General Commanding, then we
are certainly in need Of a radical
army reorganization. The whole
matter promises to come up before
one or more courts-martial.

Poor Cubans,

The Cubans will be in sorrow
and misery on the first Of January.
They will find out the true mean
ing Of American humanity. The
Spsniards who withdraw on that
day from Cuba, do not leave the
Island TO its inhabitants but to the
Americans. The latter have con-
quered the Island for themselves
and not for its inhabitants. Old
Glory is a mere ireeboOters flag.
The reason why the Cubans are
treated IN that cruel way and de-
prlved Of the personal Liberties that
even the Spaniards did not deny
them is no secret. No selfgovern
ment is to be allowed to them.
The Government which Mr.. Nc
|Kinley, Hanna and Alger are 60
ing to give to them, will be COM
posed of men selected and con-
trolled by the Spanish Cuban
bondhoIders, syndIcates and trusts.
That Government, supported by
American bayonets, is to saddle
the Island with at least one hun
dred millions of those bonds and
the loss OF the most valuable
franchises. That that IS a fact,
can be seen daily in the savage
articles Of the Washington Post
against the Cubans, and of its
sanctioning and advocating the
military despotism, trampllng the
Cuban people under the American
flag. The Pest was tor DupuY de
Lone and Spain. For the bond
holders it has always been. Its
publisher went, or was sent, 10
Paris, to work tor their interest.
No real self-government OF the
people Of all those colonies"
will be granted, for the Cubans and
Filippinos would never voluntarily
burthen themselves with the Span
ish bonds.

Oppose Expansion:

The Wme and Spirit Gascite Of
New York says that the brewers
who met in that city recently to
protest against the continuance OF
the oppressive war tax on beer will
not be able to make much headway
in their agitation unless they come
out sauarely against the humbug
ofimperialism and expansion, with
its accompanying proposed large
standing army. A decided stand
for the Monroe Doctrine and
against the uu-American policy Of
expansion and imperialism, taken
by the brewers OF the country, says
the Gazette, will strike a sympa-
thetic chord in the breasts Of all
true Americans who are opposed
to such a policy, and secure for the
agitation set IN motion by the
brewing industry that public sup
port without which a repeal Of the
law imposing the onerous war
taxes is impossible.
