THE IOWA CAMPAIGN.

THE Iowa State campaign is
opened, and it is interesting to note
the attitude of the Door forlorn de-
mocracy. State issues do noe seem
to be very important consideration
and Mr.. White, the democratic
nominee, in his opening speech at
Davenport, subordinates the ques-
ton of free silver and, in fact, all
other questions, to opposition to the
presidents policy in the Philippines,
which he makes the supreme issue.
Cali other questions can wait, he
says, s'but the issue of imperialism
must be settled at once. The nature
of the question is such it cannot be
postponed
1t is safe to predict that Mr.
White or his party will never win
out on such an un-American policy.

Der of papers that they are today.
OF course the reason for this was the

the Spanish American war, but it

THE SPHINX.

AS silent as the Sphinx This
is supposed to indicate that the OBJ
ject referred to is mum. But there
are different species of Sphinx's.
In mythology the description is that
of monster usually represented as
having the body of lion and the
face of young woman. The Grecian
Sphinx is saio to have proposed
mysterious riddle to everyone who
passed, and it was as follows:
What animal is that which goes on
four feet in the morning, on two
at noon, and on three in the even
ing?" All who failed to give the
correct answer were devoured by
the monster, until Edipus can e
forward and answered that it was
Man, who when an infant creeps on
all tours; when he has attained to
manhood goes on two feet; and
when old, used staff-a third foot.
This fable goes to prove that the
Sphinx has been known to talk.
The Sphinx is an ancient, aud the
date of his existence upon this ter
restial ball of earth and water
dates back to time before even
the Ghoul or scandal-monger was
on earth. He precedes the theoso-
phist and the Christian by centuries.
The theosophlst claims great anti
guilty, and fair believer put this
question: ''What would you say if
I told you was born in Egypt 5000
years ago?' The young gentleman
beside her is certainly pardonable
for answering that II should GER
tainly say you don't look it, Still
she might have been for all that, as
things are not always just what they
look to be- And the Sphinx, who
takes up the thread of argument at
this point remarks:
I am not the Sphinx of Egypt or
of Greece, but am a headed
denizen Of the Aurora Borealis, and
during the period of the drift, which
scien fists will tell you was centuries
ago I came down with the ice and
mud, and diamonds and pearls, and
gold fish from the far north. I
lowered around the pole that Nan
sen and the Norwegians and Swedes
have been sailing at, and never
sailed to, for years. Some of these
chilly mornings on Lake Superior
remind me that | might find a
warmer climate, but as it is said to
be but half mile from some Of the
institutions of this city to purgatory
| will remain here down through
the centuries. With waters encircl-
ing about me I arise and sink like
the sea serpent, but the intelligence
of a human being has been given
me, and my knowledge goes back
beyond the period when Rider

familiar with her they have only to

"But I am talking in riddles and
occupying too much space without
saying anything, and as that priv
ledge belongs exclusively to preach
ers let us choose a subject and get
down to work.
IT heard husband recently COM
planning that his wife presistently
'teased him for being plebeian in his
ways, that is, according to Noah
Webster, one of the common peo-
pie.
when I opened Mr.. Webster's
great volume Of reference to see
just what he had to say about
'plebeian the first thing in the front
of the book was Noah's picture,
taken in his library. Papers, books
ond everything else is strewn about
the room. Who has not noticed
this picture? And doesn't it strike
you that there is a streak of plebeian
in even Noah Webster's make up
from looking at this picture?
"When Grover Cleveland was
married his wife insisted on his
wearing his coat at dinner. Grover
had streak of the 'plebeian in him
too, but he had to modify it some
what after he married.
'.But Grover was no exception in
this for there are few households
even in this city of ours where
'petticoat government does not
manifest itself somewhat.
IF the whole world is not more
or less "plebeian" or common, it is
because there are occasionally to be
found people who have been so
blameliably over-educated that
they have become freaks instead.
cts pretty hard to get away
from yourself and the way the
creator made you, and this cheap
aristocracy of ours is a most un-
natural thing.
'People will hire men to split
their wood for them because it is
too common a job for themselves,
but they prove their plebeian quail
ties just the same when they hustle
for the caucuses and drink beer
with the French.
"The housewife is a little too
good to mix up much with her SER
want girl, but she is plebeian enough
to spend the afternoon gossiping
about her neighbors, or quarreling
with her husband, or cultivating
her Incidence while her sweet little
boy trots the streets in ragged
clothes, and wipes his nose on his
sleeve because mama hasn't pro-
vided him with a handkerchief.
''The lady who is deeply interest
ed in the church, hash t time enough
to make cover for that bare old
table or fix the curtains at the win
dow but she is plebeian enough to
spend the afternoon at the society
sewing for the poor heather,
when the time might be better
spent fixing up her own home.
"And there is the popular citizen
who is too good to do anything like
ordinary labor, but he is out of
job and plebleian or common enough
to run coal and grocery bills which
he has no prospect of paying.
''And then there is the young
fellow who is so dainty that he is
afraid of spot on his clothing, that
will slide ten feet through the dirt
to make base in ball game. He
is somewhat plebeian in some things
too.
''But the most noticeable is the
promoter who is polished like silk,

rough spots all disappear from his
speech, and whose language flows

Former President Parker, of
the River Falls Normal, is now
supervisor of state high schools,
under Superintendent Harvey.
He was called here last week, in
connection with our educational
entanglements and administered
some very wholesome advice to
our people and their public SER
wants. He advised US to quit our
cussedness and get down to a peace
basis unless we wished to render
our system total wreck. The
people, the board, the teachers and
pupils should all pull together
cheerfully in the one grand effort
of imparting and acquiring know
ledge. IF we act upon President
Parker's wise suggestions our
schools will be much the better
for it.-Star- Times.

Print Paper and Wood Pulp.

The American Newspaper
Publishers Association has sub
mitted to the United Stated and
British high commission, now in
session, a brief in favor of admit
ting print paper and pulp free
from Canada.
The brief sets forth that the
Americans manufacturers need no
protection for the reason that it
costs them less to produce print
paper than it costs any other
manufacturers in the world.
This assertion is backed up by the
fact that the news paper trust is
exporting to japanese and
Australian markets, at the rate of
one thousand tons per week, and
underselling British, Swedish and
German manufacturers IN British
markets. The publishers associ-
alton points out that the trust
being protected by the prohibitory
tariff of IS a ton on print paper,
and the excessive duty of s 1.60
per ton on wood pulp, raised the
prices in the home market.
In the submitted brief it is re-
quested that, since the trust con-
trolls all the available facilities
for paper manufacture in the
United States, thus making
wholesome competition impossible
here, the paper and pulp from
Canada be allowed to come in free,
in order that newspaper publish
ers may have the same advantage
of competition which the con-
sumers in foreign markets enjoy.
It is further argued that placing
these articles on the free list
would not affect the federal
revenue, inasmuch as the income
from the Importation of wood
pulp amounts to less than $4,000
yearly.
Finally, in addition to the fact
that the trust is shown to be
fully able to hold it's own in
competition with foreign manu-
facturers, it is shown that the
combination, by means of this
unjust tariff, forces the consum-
ers Of print paper to pay dividends
"upon an in fated and fictitious
stock of at least $4,000, 900. "
This conc fusion is reached by
tracing the origin and growth of
the trust and showing the actual
capital invested. 1t is conterded
that protection should not only
be withdrawn from fictitious and
inflated stock, but from the actual
capital, since it is shown to be
fully able to take care of itself.
1t is to be hoped that the prayer
of the petitioners will be needed
and that the paper trust will
receive a body blow in conse-
ouence.-St. Paul Globe.

Ellsworth

From the Herald.
Last Friday morning at little
after 3 o'clock Mr.. and Mrs. +.
E. Elliot, who occupied the upper
rooms in the Huntoon Block,
were awakened by the heat and
found that the building was on
fire. The room was insutferably
hot, and Mr.. Elliott hastily gather
ed up what little wearing apparel
he could lay hands on and carried
it from the building, while his
wife FASTENED across the street to
Charles Presses and A. d. HoH-
man S and gave the alarm. The
fire alarm was soon sounded and
the fremen responded with a
bound, and in a short time were
playing on the fire. 1t was soon
discovered, however. that nothing
could be accomplished but to save
the surrounding buildings and to
this end the energies of the COM
pany were thereafter expended.
The origin of the fire is I'M
known, but it undoubtedly start

The intense heat from the burn
ing building broke several OF the
plate glass windows in the new
Lane Block across the street.
The Toal stock is al entire loss.
Only part of the fixtures were

Riley Bros. will resume business

Mr.. Huntoon, owner of the
burned building, will undoubtedly

The main part Of the burned
building was erected by the late

years ago.

Miss Lutte E. Stearns, secretary
of the State Free Library Com
mission, addressed the Normal on
the 10th inst. on the subject of
free public libraries. She showed
the great good that may be done
by means of circulating libraries
in bringing good literature into
homes whose inmates are starving
for mental food. She also spoke
of the library as an important
factor in cultivating and directing
the individuality of the child.
Her points were made plain by
illustrative examples of the work
of the free library IN the slums of
Milwaukee, and in the remote
country districts, where the
travelling library is hailed as a
veritable God send. 1t is to be
hoped that River Falls may soon
have free library, to which the
poorest citizen may resort for
means of intellectual improve
ment.

Standard Oil Diplomacy.

Students of international law
are naturally much interested In
the controversy between the
STANDARD Oil company and the
supreme court of Ohio. The
attorney for the oil company
yesterday Informed the court that
it's order to produce books in
evidence would be obeyed only to
such extent as seemed good to the
company. This, of course, was
scarcely diplomatic, but precedent
can be found for it. When Eng
land or Germany treats with a
petty tribe in Africa 1t does not
feel called upon to be so polite as
when treating with a power of
dignity equal to it's own. Thus
the Standard Oil Company, find
ing itself annoyed by a trumpery
institution like state supreme
court, adopts a crusty manner.
1t is to be hoped the court will
take the hint and not be so annoy
ing in the future. Otherwise the
oil company may throw it out of
the window.-Ch1cago News.
The constitutional arguments,
which have been such a conspic-
uous feature in the Senate this
week, as to our right to acquire
the Philippines, will all be for
gotten should the Investigation
which has been started by this
government prove that the sus-
picioous now entertained, as to
Germany furnishing Aguinaldo
with money and advice for the
purpose of opposing Americas
control of the Philippines, are
founded on fact, and Congress
will be as unitedly behind the
government as it was when it
appropriated unanimously $50, 900,
900, to be expended by the presi-
dent in preparing for the war
with Spain. 1t is because we no
longer have an open outside enemy
that our Senators are working
themselves up over their construc-
ton of the Constitution. When
there are outside enemies to fight
they forget everything, except
that we are all Americans.

on Foreign Relations, and the
treaty was favorably reported to

administration programme is to
push it to a vote without delay.
