The English Broom.

One of the botanical oddities of Massa
chusetts is the existence of the English
broom, which grows in only two places
in Sterling, this county, and in Sa'
lem. 1t is not native plant, and how
it got across the water is q mystery.
Perhaps some homesick colonist caused
it to be sent to him, that the hills about
his new home might have the familiar
appearance Of the old country. 1t is q
beautiful golden yellow in color and
grows in a compact, spirelike plant,
with blossoms close together. So thick
are the stalks that the pastures are like
sheets of gold, and at first sight seem
to be buttercups in masses. Arba Pierce
brought some of it into the city and
proposes to make display of it at the
exhibition of the Horticultural society.
Every one has heard of the broom.
English and Scotch literature is full OF
it. 1t was the flower of the royal house
of Plantagenet. In fact, the name Plan.
taganet is the French for broom plant q
genet. Their ancestor, the Count d An
jou, wore string Of broom as badge,
therefore their name. The name broom
is given it because of its usefulness for
the purpose. -Worcester (Mass.) Ga.

A RisrNAfck Duel,

e.. A duel lii @sich Bismarck was once
engaged hat very amusing origin. 1t
occurred when he was chief secretary
of the Prussian legation at Frankfort
He went much into society, and one
Christmas attended a big ball. During
the height of the festivities Bismarck
attention was directed to an exceedingly
pompous individual who strutted about
the room. This was M. de CLANCY, a
noted French duelist Later en- this i'm
portant individual took part in dance,
but having omitted to leave his hat at
the proper place had perforce to hold it
out almost at arms length while he
danced. The spectacle tickled Bismarck
immensely, and as the Frenchman came
sailing naaJestically along Bismarck
stepped forward and dropped a coin in
to the hat. A duel was one Of the next
days events. Though it was with pis-
tolls Bismarck escaped unhurt, while
his adversary was wounded.

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 the
power granted them by the constitutions;
that power, the right use of which, is
necessary to the life of 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 by the
large percentage of people who neglect
to use their right to vote.
i danger threatens the life Of this
nation; il, in fact, republic is not des
tined 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 30 per cent Of The
voters of the state, comparing the r0--
Lists of the election with the census
turns, do not care enough Tor t1C.r right
and duties as citizens

Now, there is no question bus TIA.
some foreign power, or SOME conspir3r,
at home, should threaten the ballot, every
citizen of Iowa would protest againss
1t to the extent of Offering their lives, il
necessary, in protection Of this rigAt.
Then, too, if it were proposed to re-
strict the ballot, SO that 10 per cent. or
8 per cent, or / per cent even, CT the
voters of the state should be cut off from
this privilege, what protest would go
forth. And yet, with an unrestricted
ballot, 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 are 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 work so glo.

WAITING THE RESULT.
Spanish Peace Commissioners Hope Tor
Democratic Success to Give Them
uBetter Terms"

"Better Terms"
Readers of newspapers have noticed
within the 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-
bly, be advantage to them in the result
of the election. If, as this paper ex-
presses it, the elections show "lack of
confidence in 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 con-
firmation SO soon from Spanish sources
1t is not only true that Democratic
congress would be taken as an expires
sion of lack Of confidence in the admin
istration, but any material decrease Il,
the present Republican majority in the
house, even though not sufficient to give
the opposition control, would Reclaimed
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 its 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 9Th 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 vote Of lack Of eenf
dence in the administration. This i.
an important question; 1t one on which
vital interest depends. 1t is one with
which the prosperity and future glory
Of this country is closely connected
The election this year is vast in its i'm
| pcrtance, and probably never before
were the duties of citizenship so sacret
as now. Remember these things, and
remember that vote for Democrat

they see it. Nevertheless, many of us
