Give us a Change.

Developments Of the past few weeks
indicate very plainly that "Honest
Tom" is serving his last term in con-
gress. Pressed for reasons why he
should again be renominated his
friends cannot give any except this:
One more term. We heard the same
story two years ago bnt people know
more now than they did then. Some
of the strongest Updegraff workers two
years ago are against him now, not only
in the western but in the eastern end
of the district. Republicans who at
tended the Modern Woodmen picnic at
Charles City, the meeting of the North
Iowa Veterans Association at Clear
Lake, and all who have come in con-
tact with prominent republicans of the
district have very readily seen the
change in feeling. In some instances
the feeling against the present con-
gresham is intense. We pay no atten-
ton to the opposition of disappointed
applicants FOR postOffices because every
congressman has them to contend with
but we refer to the rank and file repub-
licans who have closely scrutinized the
conduct Of our representative, have
seen and compared different letters he
has written to different men and have
turned from a perusal of them with a
feeling of repugnance. So far as the
Mirror is concerned it has no interest
directly or indirectly in the distribu-
ton of post office appointments, or any
other kind of appointments, but it
would like to see the Fourth District
take its place with the rest of the state
and be represented in congress by a
wide-awake and loyal republican, and
a man of ability who would be heard
from occasionally and impress his per-
sonality on the popular branch of con-
gress. Who is there to-day that could
walk down Pennsylvania Avenue and
turning, with glad light in his eye,
say to his companion: 81 am from
Updegraff's district" The fellow
would still have to look at the hotel
register to see what state you hailed
from.-Uedr Lake Mirror.

WATER RENTS STILL COMING IN.
Between $1,000 and $1,000 Yet to BE
Collected.

Capt. George u. Pntchard of the city
treasurer's office who has charge Of the
collection Of water rents. Gays this revenue
is stin coming In, and will continue to
do so for some days yet. The discount is
not allowed on payments. however, as the
date for that expired week ago.
During the past week large number of
postals have been sent to all delinquent
consumers notifying them that payment
for the six months from July TO January
must be promptly paid, or the city Will
shut off the supply. a spur of this kind
gives the city pretty good leverage on
consumers, and brings about a settlement
of accounts. When the water is shut off,
however the authorities know IL cannot
be done without great inconvenience and
possibly suffering 10 the household, on ac-
count OF which all reasonable time to set
lie Is given before the supply Is shut off.
There remains between 5000 and 5000 yet
to be collected.
From the rents already paid It is ap-
parent there are many large consumers In
Savannah. Among these there are prob
ably none that use more than the Cen

The secretary Of War.
From the New York Press.

Many disputes arise over the pronuncia-
ton OF the name of the Secretary of War,
there being four styles in use among those
who have not the honor of his personal
acquaintance. These are All-jer All-ga.
Alter and El-ga. Some scholars declare
in favor OF All-ga. holding that the name
is of German parentage. But the secre-
tary says I'm his own biography that he
comes of Scotch and English stock. Others
maintain that Alter Is right citing AL
gerIa as an example, which may seem
trife far-fetched. The secretarw inclines
10 Alter, believe, and II he likes 1t that
way we must fall in. The name IS not
frequently met In this country. Cyrus
Alger was a celebrated American inven-
tor. Horatio Alger, Jr, was an American
author. william Dounseville AIser was a
prominent New England clergyman and
author. probably a kinsman Of Russell
Alexander.

IL is a new story In regard to Admiral
Cervera's ships that Is told by some Of the
sailors on board the Resolute, which was
present when Commodore Schley sighted
the Spanish fleet steaming out of Santiago
harbor. 1t may be remembered that 1t was
the Resolute which conveyed the message
to Rear Admiral Sampson, twenty miles
away, and with whistle tied down and
guns booming tried TO give the New York
warning that the fight OF the century was
on.
After the Rear Admiral had been found
and the ships returned to the scene of bat
tie, the Resolute's crew was among the
first to board the Cristobal Colon to take
off what Spaniards had not been killed
To their great surprise the American
jackies found a veritabIe barnyard In one
part Of the disabled ship. There were
three cows. two horses and enough chick
ems to stock a poultry farm. The Span
ish prisoners told them the COWS and eggs
were there for the purpose of supply eggs
and milk for the officers.
The carrying of COWS and hens on Tight
ing ships was in vogue in the navies OF
half century ago.

DRAW POKER THE CRAZE.
to Suppress the Ameri-
can Game In Vienna.

From the New Orleans Democrat.
Vienna, July 15.-The authorities here
are about to Danish the American game Of
poker, which has become the great craze
and sin of the people. 1t is declared that
the game has filled up the private life and
leisure moments of the family circle and
has corrupted young men, swallowed up
their scanty earnings, and even absorbed
the housewives. The tricks. subterfuges,
betrayals, swindles and family crimes
committed in It's name In Vienna would
make a story more fascinating than the
records Of Roaring Camp. In every cafe
poker is the rage, and the authorities have
determined TO suppress It under the law
forbidding games of chance.
