Saluting Kate Shelly.

A special from Cedar Rapids says
that thrilling stories are not the only
kind told of the furious dash of the
Northwestern fast mail on its initial
trip from Chicago to Omaha last Mon
day night, for one Of pathos and senti-
ment is now being related among the
trainmen.
1t was conductor Free Paine who
took the train at Boone. AS his liercely
roaring train flew ever Honey creek,
near the Des Moines river, he stood at
the door of a car and waived his lantern
toward farm house OH nearby hill,
and the memories Of other days came
back to him as he saw the answering
light in that house disappearing in the
distance.
1t was the home of Kate Shelly.
Nearly score of years ago, one dark
and stormy night, a food carried away
the bridge over Honey creek. Kate
Shelly, then little school girl of fifteen
years, looked out from her home upon
the storm and saw the creek, now Il
roaring river, and no bridge. Know
ing that twenty miles to the west a
passenger train was bearing down upon
that torreut-flled abvss, she at once
started toward the little station Of
Scranton to give warning. With only
lantern she arrived at the trestle
bridge crossing the Des Moines river,
and ere the light could be of any ser,
vice it was blown out. So, on her
hands and knees, in the storm and
wind, she crossed the bridge over the
rushing river. and arrived at Scranton
just in time to intercept the train.
Free Paine was the conductor of
that train, and as, once again, he was
speeding across the country OH wild
night ride, he saluted the little girl, now
woman, who saved his life at Honey
creek nearly twenty years ago.

The declaration few weeks ago by
several leading democrats that oppo
sition to trusts and monopoles was
sufficient for the main plank OF thier
platform for the campaign of next
year, is not very well received. The l6
to men do not think it sufficient.
Many laborng men who are employed
by corporations do not think it proper
to declare war OH all capital combina
lions, because such a war would hurt
labor also. Anti expansion may do for
a plank of the platform, but not for
the leading one, for McKinley's careful
handling of that question will not leave
much opportunity for them to critic:se
him. One thing they can do, they can
go down to defeat again opposing a
Il protective tariff, and that is about all
the question they can unite upon. Of
course that is not Il very live question
now that prospety has returned again
under protection, but it will serve rs Il
rallying place for the opposition who
have become accustomed to acting
with the democratic party.

Exciting Day In West Virginia.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. 24.-This
has been the most exciting day polite
ally since the legislature assembled
almost two weeks ago and since the be-
ginning of the contest for senatorship.
The Democratic majority in the house
unseated two Republican members. BY
a party vote in the senate the Republic
ans unseated Kidd (Dem.) and seated
his Republican opponent, M. b. Morris.
The senate had refer red this contest to
the committee on privileges and cleo.
tons, but it did not wait for report
from the committee. 1t is currently re-
ported that this policy was outlined by
Senator E:kins. In retaliation the
Democrats introduced resolutions look
lug to the unseating of Redmond,
Scherr and Outright, Republicans. 1t
is expected that today the senate will
unseat two more Democrats. AS the
contests stool up till yesterday, the
legislature on joint ballot consisted OF
40 Republicans and 48 Democrats. The
change of one in the senate yesterday
makes the legislature stand on joint bal.
lot 30 Republicans and AZ Democrats.
There is no telling how things will
stand when the balloting begins today.

The Anita Herald doesn't see any.
thing TO object to in bigamist Curtis
who edits the Prison Press at the Ami
mosa penitentiary, moralizing and ex'
horting. and advising how prisoners
ought to be treated. The Herald says
it does not do to always analyze the
source to closely from which good ad-
vice comes" The Herald looks on
Curtis as simply one who was unfortu
nate enough to be caught and that
"there are doubtless many scOundrels
and hypocrites outside of prison walls
doing the same thing" The Herald is
mixing truth and error in confusion
Not long ago paper over at Oskaloosa
said Congressman elect Roberts ought
not to be kept out of congress for the
reason that he is a polygamist, and
saying there are hypocrites in congress
who support more than one woman.
This is pulling the bars down and adj
uniting all kinds of wrong, and not
Furnishing any because there are other
hypocrites and criminals UNPUBLISHED.
We believe in Furnishing those we do
catch, else we had as well have anarchy
at once, and we are not ready for that.

One of our friends writes us he
thinks the language of Bob Burdett
published on this page last week was
the language of y tyrant. We confess
it was little vigorous and extrayagant
But Bob Burdette is something of a
humorist, and everything he says must
not be taken as meaning literally what
it says, However, his main thought as
we understand it was simply that we as
a nation have the ability to settle dis
order and rebellion ana to do our share
in civilizing the world. He sneers at
the thought that welcan't civilize the
Philippines. We do not see much
wrong with those thoughts, neither do
we think it is tyranny to bring order
out of disorder, to carry civilization
and good government where savagery,
revolution, bloodshed and no govern
ment has heretofore existed.

The Cass County Democrat thinks
this country is at present suffering be
cause of lack of proper infusion of
democracy into the government. 1t
isn't apparent to the ordinary observer
that the country is suffering much at
all. And as to an infusion of democracy
to help an already good condition, we
would consider it hazardous expert
ment, especially in view of the ex,
perience of few years ago when the
last democrat infusion was given. We
think it is for the Democrats good
hat its fond wish is not granted. 1t

Ex-senator Geo. F. Edmunds, one Of
the ablest lawyers in the country ane
one who is familiar with the anti polyg
amy legislation, has prepared ar
opinion on the admission of Congress
man-elect Roberts to the House of Rep
resentatives for the New York Chris
tian Herald that is attracting consider
able attention. He holds to the opinion
that the House has no legal reason fol
refusing admission to Mr.. Roberts but
that it has legal reasons for expelline
him after he is seated. The sentiment
of the country is surely pretty wei
united in this matter. We don't want
that "twin relic of barbarism" entering
the capital of our nation.

We have got used to- electing the
United States senators by the legisla-
tors, but why do we do it? The con-
stitution requires it is perhaps enough
reason, but why should We not change
the constitution This winter again
there are several dead locks, public
business is retarded, the public money
expended, and big oppol tunities thrown
open for capitalists TO control the sit
uation. California, Montana, Nebraska
Wisconsin, West Virginia Pennsylvania
and other states are just now OH net
ties trying to elect senators. Why not
let the parties nominate at delegate
conventions and the people elect the
same us they do governors or congress
men? The reasons given against this
prodecure hundred years ago do not
hold good now.

Chairman Hancock, of the state CEN
trail committee has declared himself in
favor of making this years state con-
vention two-days affair. His reason
for desiring a change is. that the state
convention has become very large
gathering, more than a thousand; that
such a large body must of necessity
move slowly, that under the one day
plan the convention usually gives
proper time and attention to the NOM
nation of the head of the ticket, and
possibly to the platform. but after
that, under the desire to catch train,
maybe, or for other reason, the latter
though very important part of the
ticket is neglected. Those who attended
last years convention, and witnessed
the mix-up on the nomination for rail-
road commissioner, VIII know what is
meant. This writer is disposed to
agree with the state chairman. The
two-days convention would not neces-
state any longer stay at the conven-
tion city on the part of the delegates.
As it now is, the delegates go day in
advance and spend the time pulling
the wires. Under the two-day plan
there might be less wire pulling and
more genuine work for the good of the
state and the party.-Shelby County

The senate passed the Nicaragua
canal measure Saturday. The canal is
to be built in six years, and is to be
under control of this government. The
cost is not to exceed $115.O00,000. This
is an important pieceof legislation and
surely shoull become a law in some
such form. AS our commerce and i'll.
terests in the Pacific increase the need
of the canal becomes more apparent
