Gar Reed obliged congress to ad-
journ without making any provision
whatever for the government of Ha-
waii, or for the control of the Philip
pines, or for the administration of
Porto Rico, or for the management OF
affairs on the islands of Cuba and
Guam. When the republicans placed
the crown of absolute authority upon
Mr.. Reeds head, they supposed that he
would use the power given to him for
party advantage only. To promote
party interests, they bartered away one
of the principles Of representative gov
eminent, and like all men who deviate
from principle, they have lived long
enough to regret their action. Reed
thought he saw chance to put the
Mckinley administration IN hearse
and he could not resist the temptation
AS a result we are engaged in an I'M
necessary and unjustifiable war in a
distant part of the world. We are sac
rificing the lives of our soldiers and
spending millions of money, not in the
cause of human freedom and represen-
tative government, but for conquest.
If the representatives of the people,
both democrats and republicans, had
been given an opportunity to dicuss the
questions growing out of the war with
Spain, and legislate in reference there
to, we would not now be placed in such
a false position in the Philippines

The newspapers few days ago pub
lished the story of farmer who came
to Iowa way back in the lifties, or be-
fore, and who before he died had &C.
cumulated more than thousand acres
of Iowa land, besides many thousands
of dollars in the banks. He tOiled all
the days of his life. When he got up
in the morning he wondered how many
pounds his cattle and his hogs would
increase that day, AS far as the news
paper accounts indicated he has passed
through that process 365 days every
year. And his wife had done the same.
Two lives absorbed in the slavery OF
gain. They piled up acre on acre and
dollar on dollar, and then he died, and
she is ready to die. The question is
whether it would not have been better
if they had taken more time from their
work and given more time to pleasure
OF course, it is hard to judge, for God
has placed all sorts and conditions OF
men in this world, and what was end
less toll may have been endless pleas
ure to them.-Cedar Rapids Rebuilt

To Whom It Nav Concern

A circular from Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue makes the following
ruling on the amendment of Feb. 2S,
1899, to the War Revenue Act:
On mortgages securing two or more
notes the comparison is made between
the mortgage and the larger note. For
instance, the sum of 81 400 is borrowed,
and to secure the payment of this sum
mortgage is executed securing the
payment of two notes, one for $500 and
one for $500. Comparison in this in
stance is made between the mortgage
and the larger note, which note is sub
ject to a tax of IL cents, and the mort
gage securing the same, % cents, there
fore the mortgage should be stamped.
(This comparison will apply only on
sums exceeding 81 200 and not exceed
ing $l,500.) If, instead of two notes,
only one note should be executed, the
note must be stamped, it carrying a
stamp of % cents, while the mortgage
is exempt, it carrying only % cents.
Notes not exceeding 81 900, secured by
a mortgage, must be stamped, the mort
gage being exempt.
Notes exceeding $1,000 and not eX-
ceeding 81 200, stamp mortgage and not
note.
Note exceeding $1,000 and not ex
ceeding $l,500, stamp note and not
mortgage.
Ali sums over $500 mortgage must
bear stamp.
The instrument on which the tax
does not accrue, should have endorsed
upon it that the contemporaneous in
strument is fully stamped according to
law.
To insure the prompt filing of mort
cages those forwarding same to this of
flee must comply with the above.

Tanner and Quay.
tFrom the Chicago Record,)


Says Tanner to Quay:
"All good republicans in Illinois join
me in congratulating you on your YIN,
dication from the vicious, cowardly ana
unwarranted attacks by the mugWumps
and boiling republicans of Pennsylya,
mia. You are thoroughly indicated in
the minds of all honest and decent peo-
pie, and will be returned to your seat by
the next general assembly OF Pennsylva-
mia, full term"
How do the "good republicans in IL
linois" like the spectacle of Tanner
pushing himself into conspicuous prom
inence as their spokesman, and how do
they like the Pennsylvania "boss y
whom he has chosen for adulation in
their name?
Tanner has a faculty of singing out
for congratulation in the name OF the
republican party of Illinois men who are
the despised of the nation. Secretary
Alger, it will be remembered, was the
last before Quay to be publicly praised
by Tanner, and the occasion was the adj
ministering of the unmerited rebuke by
the secretary of war to Col. Roosevelt,
the popular hero of the Santiago cam
paign.
Some men are made popular because
of the enemies they make. If anything
were needed to add to Gov. Tanners
unpopularity it should be the friends he
has selected to honor in the name of his
party.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL. 90, 1899

An Atchison girl works SO hard all
day that she is cross and surly at night,
and though an admirable girl she has
few friends. Her sister, who who is
something of a loafer, is very popular.
The working girl is generally ad-
mired for her energy, ability and good
ness, but if the neighbors have pie to
share they invite the loafing girl in to
eat it in preference to the hard working
girl. The case has a parallel in every
neighborhood, and the women who are
protesting against the injustice will
find their arms full of reform at the
start. If they had pie to share they
would invite the best company, and not
the most deserving. Everybody does
it The good company to help eat it
furnishes as much pleasure as the pie
and no one can accuse the ant of being
what is known as good company

MILITARY INSTRUCTION
In the Public Schools Open Let
ter to the Boys in the Public
Schools OF Iowa
BLOOMFIELD, Iowa,

BLOOMFIELD, IOWA, [
April 10, 1899.
BOYS: On the recommendation of
the Commander of the Department of
Iowa e. A. r., 1 have been appointed
by the Commander-in-C Chief of the
National Department of the Grand
Army OF the Republic, Special Aide in
Charge OF Military Instruction in Pub
lie Schools, for Iowa.
l have assumed the duties and re
sponsibilities of the position in the
earnest hope of encouraging the boys
of Iowa, especially those attending the
Public Schools, to organize themselves
at once, and without delay, into mill
tary companies, under the guidance and
direction of their teachers, for the pur-
pose of military instruction, such as
drilling in the manual of arms, march
ing, squad and company drill, the posi-
ton of soldier the salute to the Flag,
and the various evolutions in military
instruction belonging to the school Of
the soldier.
In many instances your teachers will
be qualified to drill and instruct you
and will feel it, not simply duty, but
pleasure to do so.
There is also, in every city, town and
village in the state, veterans of the
civil war, or young men who have
served in the Spanish American war,
who are very competent and will take
pleasure in aiding you to acquire such a
knowledge of military tactics as would
enable you, in very short time, to elect
your officers, from members of your
company, who would be competent to
drill the company in all the evolutiOns
of military tactics.
If, in all the schools of the State, the
boys were thus organized, the spirit OF
loyalty and patriotism, of love, and
generation for the Flag of the Union
would be stimulated and every boy
would feel that he was worthy
descendent of some soldier or states
man, or worthy citizen, who had con
tributed to give him this heritage OF
Freedom and Glory. And he woulC
feel commendable pride in preparing
himself to preserve, protect and defend
the priceless treasure entrusted, in part
to his keeping.
| If the boys could only comprehend
that all the wealth, the power ant
grandeur, the fame and glory of this
the greatest Nation that ever existed
''since the morning stars sang togethe
and the Sons of God shouted for JOY
will in few more years be turned owe
into their care and keeping, how the.
would study and labor, and how fer
vently would they pray, that the Hant
of Infinite Wisdom would guide then
IN the way of all truth and honor, ant
help them in every relation of life to bt
true, brave, manly men.
, "The bravest are the tenderest,
The loving are the daring

Special Aide.

Reeds Res1gnation.

Speaker Reed, The Gar, as he is COM
monty called, has become member of
New York law firm, and will probably
resign his seat in congress before the
beginning of the next session. Many
different theories are advanced to &C.
count for Mr.. Reeds action. Astute
politicians see deep laid plan on the
part of the scarce money men to capture
the next republican national convention
and nominate Mr.. Reed for the pres
idency.
The scarce money influences of the
country and its monopolistic elements
purchased the election for Mr.. McKin-
ley. The monopolists and trusts have
had value received for all their contribu-
tions, but the scarce money fellows, the
gold standard men of the Grover Cleve-
land pattern, have been basely treated
by the Mckinley administration. They
paid their millions for gold standard
legislation, for legislation which would
cut down the volume of standard money
In the country and increase the value of
their holdings, and what have they to
show for their money? Just the re-
verse of what they had been promised.
Instead of legislation to permanently
fasten upon the country the single gold
standard, the whole force of the admin
istration has trended in an opposite di-
rection. The democrats were allowed
to SO amend revenue bill as to provide
for the coinage of many millions ofsilver.
The financial statements published
by the treasury bureau of statistics
show marked increase in the total
amount of money in circulation. They
show an increase in the total of gold,
silver and paper from S1,726,376,6o9
March 1, 1898 to s1,928,842,612 March
1, 1899. And there was not only
an increase in the aggregate, but in the
circulation per head Of population. An
increase from S23.33 March Il, 1898 to
$25.51 March /, 1899.
Using round figures, there was in,
crease during the year of S2O2, 400 600
The quantitative theory of money and
its effects upon prices, SO strenuously
contended for by the democrats ant
denied by the republican during the
last presidential campaign, has beer
adopted in practice by the Mckinley
administration. To-day we have ten
of millions more greenbacks in circula
tion than we had year ago, and man,
millions more silver and gold and banl
notes. All this is just the reverse o
what the money lords paid their none,
for, and it is reasonable to believe tina
they are ready to back Reed in an at
tempt to turn Mckinley down in tn
next national convention. When Rec
becomes citizen of Wall Street W
predict that he will be Wall Street
presidential candidate.

The attorney general has said the
antitrust legislation of congress is
worthless. The only way to prevent
the worst effects of having all our in
dustries in the hands of the trusts is to
repeal the protective duties on all arti-
c!es made by trusts. Then foreign
competition will keep prices down. But
we hear no republican voices lifted up
in behalf of this remedy. The trusts
control the party just as they did when
they were merely infant industries.
