The assured election of Congressman
David b. Henderson as Speaker of the
next House calls attention to the
knowledge that the Republican party
of Iowa has brought to the front a
great number of strong and capable
men. She has in Congress to-day at
least four men who are national fig
ures. Either Hepburn or Dolliver might
have aspired to the Speakership with
Henderson, and Of Iowas eleven Re-
publican Congressman not one Is stick
or hole-tiller. In Senator Allen SHE
has a man who some day may grace
the Presidential chair, and In Senator
Gear she has another who ranks high
in the upper house Of Congress, while
taken as a whole her delegation is one
of the strongest that ever came from
any State.
We doubt, however, If Iowa is pos
sessed Of more latent and undeveloped
talent than any other of the Northern
and Western States. In every State
are many men with attainments
enough and capacity enough to become
marked figures before the nation But
in Iowa the Republican party has been
wise enough to draw upon it's best tai
emit, to encourage the development Of
craftsmanship, and to reward abaiMty
wherever found. Every one Of the
eleven Congressman from Iowa is
serving his second, third, fourth, fifth
or even tenth term in Congress. By
keeping it's strong men to the front the
Republican party Of that State has been
able to preserve satisfied condition
within the ranks of the party at home,
to the end that the State is always safe
for the Republican ticket. In brief, the
Republican party of Iowa has been
wisely managed, aud in this respect 1T
offers fine example to the States
around it.--Kansas City Journal.

Political Orphans.

The Popocrats who are demanding
that silver be RELOCATED TO the rear"
forget that such action would leave
the free silver Republicans entirely
orphaned. OF course, majority Of
them are Popuhsts or Democrats, but
they wish to keep up their separate or
ganization in order that they may de-
mand share of the offices. If there La
no chance for this kind of plumber they
may sulk in their tents or vote the Re

course, this has no reference to the
large number of Republicans who were

A Question of Com PARSONS.


Nobody needs to be told that pros
perity is here. Every one knows that,
from having actual individual partici-
patton in 1T. 1t is so universal that 1t Is
getting to be accepted quite as the nat
ural order Of things, and interest be-
gins to center in comparison between
our present prosperity and that Of other
years when a protective tariff policy
has been in effect The indications are
that the period of prosperity inaugu-
rated by the Dingley law Is to be n rec
ord breaker. In many cases 1t has been
stated that the prosperity now being
enjoyed surpasses that of any other
period.
A recent instance of this sort Is re-
ported FROM Connellsville, Pa, where
Che 10000 men employed by the 81. G.
Frick Coke Company have just been
most agreeably surprised by having
been informed that general advance
Of wages, ranging from 6 to 121a per
cent, would take effect from May l.
The new scale, it is stated, will be the
highest ever paid in the Connellsville
region.
This Is the kind of news which we
may begin to expect now. The question
is not, "Are we prosperous" but
"How much more prosperous are we
than during any previous period?"

The free-trade element Is clamo.ing
for the repeal of the protective tariff as
method of stamping out trusts. There
is no doubt that the Introduction OF
free trade as our national policy would
stamp out many trusts; but it would
stamp them out by stamping out the
industries Of the country. II there are
no industries, there can be no indus
trial trusts. That's sure. And free
trade has proved itself hustler in get
ting rid of industries. But however
anxious the people of the country may
be to get rid of trusts, they are not like
~ to be willing to get rid Of them at
that cost. IL man has boil on his
leg he can get rid Of it, beyond a doubt,
by cutting off his leg. But there are
other ways. The cutting off of the leg
would be the method approved of by
the free traders, If they would be con-
sistent, Kill the trusts, they say, by
killing the industries. Protectionists
prefer to keep the industries, and to
deal with the trusts In some other way.
The question Is n complicated one,
and will need for it's satisfactory solu-
ton the broadcast craftsmanship and
the maximum of ability. That 1T will
be rightly solved in time there can be
l.ttle doubt. The American people
have pretty good record for solving
difficult problems. Just what that So
luton will be the future alone can
show. 1t is safe to prophesy, however,
that the solution will not involve the
wholesale industrial ruin which would
be the inevitable result of an abandon
ment Of the protective policy

robust look and dress of cross be-

Of the lanyard was all over and about
him He spied an old friend sitting
just opposite him in the car.

Importance of the Ohio Campaign.

Importance of the Ohio Campaign.
Nobody doubts that Ohio will be the
scene this year of the first great polltd-
cal battle in the Presidential campaign
Of 1900. It is conceded that the Nc
Kinley administration will be placed
ON trial here. and the result in Ohio will
be regarded as an indication of how
the greater battle next year will go.
The friends Of President Mckinley
realized this when they asked that
firm friend and loyal supporter of the
President be chosen as the Republican
candidate for Governor, and that
thought was uppermost in the minds of
the delegates at Columbus when they
made ND, the splendid ticket which has
been presented to the people for their
Endorsement. That is why the cam
paign In Ohio promises TO be one Of the
most memorable in the history of the
State Cleveland Leader.

AFTER Io2 YEARS

Leet's SPECULATION Claim" of $4,000 10
Ordered TO be Paid to the Heirs.
Judge Durfee, of Detroit, has dis
posed of claim that has been pend
ing for many years against the United
States government and had its origin
1O2 years ago In 1907 one Gideon
Leet followed the business of shipping
merchant at one of the ports on the
Atlantic coast, and was the owner of a
half interest in the brig Matilda. On
one of her voyages and while laden
with a valuable cargo of sugar and
rum, the Matilda was captured by
French privateer The crew were
given lealxy boat and two days pro-
vision and sent ahoat. BY good for
tune they made landing somewhere,
but the exact spot is not known, and
reached their way home. They made
known to Mr.. Leet the circumstances
of the capture and he filed a claim
with congress for the value of his
half-interest in the vessel and cargo,
which he placed at $4,000 This was
presented TO the French government,
along with a number of other ''spolia-
ton claims, and adjustment was in
definitely postponed. When the pres
ent state of Louisiana was coded TO
the United States by France, the
former country's claim against the lat
ter were wiped off the books, but the
government of the United States as
sumed the "spoliation claims" Cid
con Leet's claim bobbed up in congress
after this, but was relegated to the
dust of n pigeon-hole. Then Mr.. Leet
dropped it and came to Michigan and
settled on Crosse Isle, where he died,
intestate, in 1926. Judge Durfee in
settling the claim made an order that
the amount allowed by congress should
be divided among the executors or ad-
ministrators of the estates of Gideon
Leet's six children.
