Henderson and His Colleagues,

William Il. Curtis in the Chicago
Record: Iowa has the strongest dele.
cation in tho house, and, although it il
states, none of them exercise a greater
influence. Henderson is the strongest
man in the delegation, although Hep.
burn has some qualities that he has
not. Jonathan Prentice Deliver has
a smoother tongue and n larger yocab'
ulary and soft, smooth way with him
that is extremely taking with both men
and women, and Robert g. Cousins,
of Upton, dreams dreams, and has a
deeper, finer vein of sentiment and
was crowned with greater beauty by
nature. There is vague notion
among the Iowa people that Bob
Cousins might be a great man il he
were not so lazy, but they will stand
up and argue that Dave" Henderson is
II great man already.
In many respects Henderson is the
opposite of Reed. He has n soft heart,
which Reed has not. He will cry like
n baby ut the funeral of friend or
when some poor old soldier tells him
story of sorrow and distress, and he
has even been known to wipo his eyes
ut the theater over the imaginary
wrongs of the heroine. Mr.. Reed never
shed tear.
furthermore, Henderson likes to do
kind things. He loves to make people
happy, while Reed likes to make them
unhappy. There is no uglier tongue
in congress than David b. Henderson,
when controversy excites the pas
sions, but in ordinary life and with or
binary men it would be very difficult
for him to hurt anybody's feelings.
There is no stronger speaker on the
floor of the house of representatives
either in dispassionate discussion or in
a rough and tumble debate than Hen
derson. He has powerful voice, an
emphatic manner, a fluent tongue and
ready wit. He talks MS if he meant
what he said, and he usually says what
he means. The members OF the house
know that, and therefore his words
have weight. Henderson is also a
master of parliamentary law, which
qualities him for the Office of speaker.
In the committee room he is n hard
worker and although his name is moi
attached to any great legislation dur,
ing the last ten years no bill Of impor.
lance has been considered without
consulting him. For several years he
has been chairman of the judiciary
committee, the third COMMITTEE of inn
portance in the house and il is IN q
tribute to his ability and wisdom rs q
lawyer that his colleagues have brought
in very few minority reports.

The Burlington Hawkeye draws ut
tention to the fact that Iowa republic
cans have been more clear of factional
differences than are the majority par
ties in most states. The republican
party has the solid delegation of eleven
members of congress and two, senators
and has all the state officers. 1t car
ries the state by majorities of $4,000
or more and has no marked factions
within itself. The Hawkeye gives as
one reason for this splendid condition
that we have no boss in Iowa politics.
We arrive at our nominations by choice
within the party and when nominations
are made we are united. Then the
wise action of Senators Allison and
Gear and the leading congressman has
tended to harmonic matters rather
than build mp factions. The recent
great victory in which Henderson has
practically won the speakership is a
result of this policy of wise and dis
Greet action of the leaders, and of their
inclination to stand together and help
each other rather than be jealous md

The Capital and the 30" Papers.

In our opinion the Des Moines Cap,
ital is doing considerable Just now to
discredit the republican party in the
eyes of the people of the state. 1t is
LATE Young's nature to be in the thick
of the fight whenever there is one. Nc
matter if he is fighting Mcvicar, OF
Clarkson, or democrats, he is making
fur fly. Among good things he often
says some very indiscreet things. just
now the republican party of the state
has contest on hands to determine
whom it will name for United States
senator for next term. Of course LATE
is in the fight, and again i'll the thick
est of it. But we particularly object
to his constant reference to those who
are supporting Gear as being c. b. q
q. men. Scarcely an issue of the Cap
ital comes out but it has fling at
those papers published along the G.
b. & @. lines" or ''the Gear papers
on the G. b. & @. R'y." say so and so.
Now We don't object to the Capital
supporting Mr.. Cummins, and this
article is not written in the interests of
Mr. Gear, but it is actuated by wish
to denounce this thing of republicans
manufacturing campaign thunder for
the opposition. No doubt the intention
in this constant reference by the Capt.
tai to all papers that favor Gear rs
being SO" papers is in furtherance of
its evident attempt to fasten the i'm
preston on the people of Iowa that
John III. Gear improperly and dis
honorably stands for the G. b. & @.
railroad. If man whom the people
of Iowa have given such high positions
as speaker of its house of representa-
tives, as governor, as one of it's mem
bers of congress several terms, and as
United States Senator, has been so
dishonorable as to improperly use his
influence in favor of any corporation,
then the political party that has pushed
him forward should be denounced. If
Senator Gear is not guilty of any i'm
propriety in this matter, then the
Capital should stop this ceaseless
populist-like and demogogic out cry
about him being 80" man.
The Capital knows the 80" has no
interests aside from other roads that a
senator could favor. The Capital
knows that the republicans of Iowa
doesn't put the tools of corporations
nor the enemies of capital in places of
power; that it doesn't listen with
patience to either the monopolist or
the demogogue. The Capital also
knows Gear is not the attorney of the
90" or any other road. The republic
can party regards the action of the
Capital in this respect as criticism of
itself upon its past actions, and the
party's enemies will so accept it,

A good illustration of the Infectious
ness Of some things is furnished by the
football epidemic which has been rapid
spreadingin this community this week.
The students are perhaps most suscep-
tible to it, but nearly all the folks are
down or, perhaps more properly. up
with it. 1t has broken out in the stores,
the workshops. the City Hall, the aims
house and the jail, and even the pa
tients in the hospitals who are not too
sick to have it have caught it. 1t IS
football, football everywhere, and too
few or no tickets. The crisis will be
reached Tomorrow, and the return to
the normal condition will be rapid. Let
us hope it will not be accompanied with
sadness on account of the failure OF
Victory to perch right, and by sense
of pecuniary loss.

SUNDAY GOIE

| they are certainly making progress
| IN good old Massachusetts, Here is the
steady and reliable Boston Herald saw
ing that if before the assembling of the
legislature it shall be decided in the
courts that the playing of golf on Sun
day is in violation of the statutes regu-
lating what may and what may not be
done upon the Lords day the chances
are that a strong effort w*ll be made
to have these statutes amended so as
to exclude this diversion from the cate
CORY Of prohibited things, in the same
manner that provision has been made
eXempting the Sunday riding of bicy-
Giles from the prohibition which pre-
viously applied to It, And that isn't
all. The Herald further says: If the
intent of the Sunday law is to abso-
lutely restrain people, for their own
spiritual good, from INDUCING in va
rious forms of recreation, then there
is no, logical consistency in tolerating
some forms of recreation while prohib-
iting others. If, on the other hand, the
theory of the Lords day law is that no
recreation shall be INDUCED in which
causes those who wish to religiously
observe the day to have their thoughts
disturbed or their quiet meditation dis
tracted, then clearly golf should be
classed among permissible pursuits, for
the reason that it can offend no one,
except those who absolutely put them
selves out Of their accustomed way for
the purpose of being offended.
They do say that illegal Sunday golf
has long existed in Massachusetts, and
it is evident that the outlook for legal
Sunday golf there is fair. Thank good
ness that though there is some illegal
Sunday golf in Connecticut there is no
here to make Sunday golf
legal. If we must sin that way let's do
so without hypocrisy and without the
thin cloak of legality.

any reform it would be less open to crit
icism, but it is asserted that the short
term imprisonment is without deterrent
or exemplary value. As a remedy, it is
proposed to place the offender whom it
seems desirable to punish by a fine in
care of probation officer for longer
or shorter period. pending the earning
and paying of the fine. Under this plan
the poor citizen, though still bound to
be punished more than the rich one,
under any system of fines, would not be
dragged to prison because of his pow
erty. For the confirmed inebrlates the
committee suggested long terms Of i'm
prisonment in separate institutions In
which they could be given plenty of
wholesome ard hard work, preferably
out of doors

"And Yet-They scored,

| The winning football team gazed proud
! From out their Pullman heaven;
| There were three whole ribs in the crowd
| Five noses leaned uneven,
| One leg lay IN plaster shroud,
| And the dents Ia the skulls were seven
Their sweaters, mud from neck to belt
No frat pins did adorn;
But breastplates of their rivals scalps
We're very meetly worn,
The muscles meath their blackened eyes
We're swelling like popped corn.
The half back beamed from out his spints,
And rubbed his battered knee;
Now, by the great st. Ellis ghost,
We've knocked 'em cold!'' quoth he.
They'll tear what hair they've left, | wot,
Der a score so hard to see!'
The Captain turned his stiffened neck.
And bllnked a fishy eye.
Yea, they're our lneat," he mused, and
yet
Methought heard him sigh.
'When that they saw our last touchdown
They wandered off to die"
He sighed again. "And yet" he said,
Less sad of speech than mild,
"They put us up red-hot game;
Forsooth, 1t made en wild
To see us fall down DER their score
! don't Think and he smiled.
'And yet"-he dropped his muddy head
And hid his warscarred ears
"And yet-they scored''-the team rose up,
With bitter taunts and feers,
But knew twas truel They turned away
And wept Il heard their tears.)

Il PACIFIC CABLE.

A Pacific cable is needed and will I'M
doubleday soon be had. A bill is to be
presented to congress at it's next ses-
sion in the interest of the Pacific Gable
company of New York, which wants a
subsidy of 100000 year for twenty
years for laying a cable across the Pa
cific from San Francisco to Manila, via
Honolulu and Guam, with a branch
cable to Yokohama AS such a cable
would hardly cost much over ten mil
lions the company doesn't ask as much
as 1T might, and it will probably not
get ae much as 1t asks It is proposed
that the government shall send it's mes
sages free of charge for twenty years
and thereafter pay half rates. On pri-
waite messages existing rates would be
cut in two-be reduced to ST to Manila,
Inc survey now being prosecuted by
the government finds in the Pacific a
mountain that rises to within eighty
two fathoms of the surface and a val
ley 29,4OO feet deep. The route is DEEM
ed practicable one. The ''all- British
Pacific cable is understood to be in
